Bang! Bang!
The guns roared, mixing with the smoke and spraying red fragments of paper into the sky. Then, like snowflakes, the papers fell down from the sky, bringing joy and happiness to everyone.
Compared to the first passionate, but somewhat chaotic, Fighter Championship and the second Fighter Championship that had been rigorous and boring, the third Fighter Championship had a more relaxed atmosphere.
This championship wasn’t like before, when all participants fought together. In this championship, all the participants were divided into three groups.
The first group was the juvenile group, in which all the participants under the age of 18 were included. The gifted young boys and girls would compete with each other, and the top eight would be chosen by single elimination. Then the ranks of the top eight would be decided through a circular competition system.
The Fighter Championship was scheduled to be held once every ten years, so the next time these gifted young people participated, it would be when they were in peak shape. If they were strong and lucky enough, they would be the world’s first hero and a strong competitor for the title of ‘world’s strongest.’
The second group was middle-level people, in which none of the participants had reached the advanced level. To be honest, they could have been described by the phrase ‘with no tigers in the mountains, monkeys dominate the world.’ A group of people who hadn’t even reached the advanced level dared to compete for the first place in the world, which made people laugh. But the Northwest Republic encouraged middle-level people to participate, because they not only received a bonus, but could also get in touch with powerful guys and try to attract them.
This was the suggestion of Manissy, the Goddess of Wealth. She thought that instead of attracting advanced and powerful people, she should mainly focus on the middle-level people. In the vast majority of countries in the world, middle-level people had become the pillar of the society. They were qualified for most jobs and positions and didn’t need to be stronger.
Moreover, the middle-level people weren’t arrogant. They would be more generous and careful no matter whether they were alone with their colleagues or performing tasks. In fact, they were the most suitable to become citizens of a country.
Originally, there had only been the juvenile and adult groups in the championship, but because Sui Xiong had accepted Manissy’s suggestion, the middle-level group was included in the championship.
The third group was the adult group, in which all the advanced and powerful people would show their strength and wisdom to the utmost. Its official name was the ‘hero group.’ There were powerful people from all over the world who wanted to gain wealth or fame. Because the competition was fair enough, and it didn’t discriminate against anyone, even the participants’ security would be guaranteed. This year, many participants from other worlds were coming to the Main Plane to compete.
For example, the favorite to win the competition was Rio, from the mechanical realm. He was an organ man, three times as tall as an ordinary person even when he used magic to reduce his size. His strength had reached the Legendary Realm. This organ man, who had been alive for nearly two thousand years, could not only use several powerful weapons, but he had also mastered the power of magic, and his martial arts were also strong.
The reason why he had come to the competition was because of news he had heard from his friend, Phil Ohis Savoy. Phil Ohis Savoy was also in the competition, but unfortunately, he was unlucky and eliminated in the group tournament.
