Chapter 703 - 647: Teams (1/2)
”Of course I think the disciples of my sect are going to win.”
Arthur answered with absolute confidence as his gaze rested on the six youths standing next to each other.
”What about you?”-Arthur
In response to the parasite, Isadore chuckled and agreed by saying
”I'm the same.”
”Quit screwing around, I know that you don't mean that.”
Hearing Arthur's vulgar and rude words, Isadore laughed and corrected himself,
”Alright you got me! Although I sent a team of my own, I genuinely think it's either the Buddha Sect Team, the Demonic Team, or the Siren Kingdom team that will win.”
As he mentioned these three teams, Arthur gazed at the first one of them. A team of 5 cultivators, all were males and bald, their ages ranging from 50 to 80.
By the way, the maximum age for participating is 100, which is considered young for the long-time cultivators. Although, previously, the buddha sect had grievances with Arthur and even banished him to Oblivious, which was, in fact, Riarravar, they didn't come here this time to cause trouble.
Not only did they publicly apologize to the couple, they also brought compensation in the form of spirit stones and a few rare artifacts. The one in charge of their team was, unsurprisingly, a monk, and an old one at that.
He was at the Exalted God Realm, he had average appearance and wasn't that talkative. Actually, even when the tournament was beginning, he was sitting in a corner, cross-legged, praying to Buddha.
The second team, called the Demonic Team, hails from the Demon Realm in the other universe. There's no restriction to join the tournament and your background does not matter so demons and devils were allowed, despite their enmity with many other races, such as the angels, for example.
The demonic only had two participants, just like the Holy Dominion. Both were girls, they had long black hair and an exceptional beauty. Arthur appraised them and the results were fascinating, nevertheless, they weren't the strongest out of the bunch.
Last but not least, the Siren Kingdom Team, which was composed of 9 mermaids that had the lower body of a fish, which was currently not visible as they used a specially crafted elixir to grant them temporary lower limbs. It came as a side-effect but it'll bring less disgust from the public, which was discriminating against races that looked different than humans. After all, the most common race in Cloud Sea is humans.
The nine pretty mermaids were the main focus of the young cheering crowd. They weren't arrogant or cold as they reciprocated by waving their hands and smiling at the spectators.
In addition to these three teams, Arthur's team, Isadore's team, and High Cardinal Patrick's team, there were 6 other teams, each composed of exceptional individuals that were the top of their sect, clan, organization, etc…
”Hey! Are you here?!”
Only when Isadore rudely waved his hand in front of Arthur's face did the latter snap out of his daze and frown at the king, who was behaving childish, totally unbecoming of a supreme ruler.

”This place is heavily fortified…”
A woman sitting right next to the High Cardinal, commented as she gazed at the golden shields surrounding the massive plateau along with the city. There was also the barely visible shadow of a black dragon staring down at them.
”...”
Cardinal Patrick also glanced at the formation but didn't speak, feeling uncomfortable and slightly pressured. He was a peak Overgod and didn't come here to cause trouble, nevertheless, he was instinctively disgusted by the lurking dragon made of dense Dark Magic. He was a devout believer of Sedos and anything that defies light is nemesis to him so it's natural that Dark Magic would affect him.
It wasn't threatening to a dangerous degree but the formation laid by Arthur will definitely weaken the two youths he brought.
