70 Tournament 1 (2/2)

The ones Ivan found the most dangerous were these that had sat down quietly and either observed the others or meditated. To him this was a sign of experience, which was much more dangerous than pure strength.

He then followed their example and sat down too.

He hadn't meditated for long, when an commotion ripped him out of it. He opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the noise. There an ice cold woman slowly made her way into the crowd. It was the woman who had went into the dungeon too. Not knowing why she would create such an commotion he listened to the conversations around him.

”That is Tang Lin, did you know that she has already reached level 400 and I heard that her pet S ranked.”

”Really? How did she manage that? Is she that talented?”

The other laughed softly, ”Haha, no talent alone would be enough for that. While it is true that she is truly talented I heard that it is mostly because her grandfather pampers her a lot.”

”Her grandfather?”

”Yes. Her grandfather is the Grand Elder. So ever since she has entered she has gotten a lot of resources from him.”

”Wow, she really is lucky.”, the other said with envy clearly recognizable in his voice.

*So she is the granddaughter of the Grand Elder. No wonder she had such a great staff when we were in the dungeon.*

After that, seeing that it wasn't really something that interesting, he went back to mediation.

When it was time for the tournament to start a middle aged man entered the room.

”Everyone here?”, he asked and without waiting for an answer then continued, ”I will now tell you the rules for this tournament, so you better listen carefully, because breaking them means that you will disqualified.”

”There aren't many rules, since all of you will be wearing an medallion that will protect your life, so you can battle to your fullest. The fight will only end if the System decides that one of you has been killed or is unable to continue the fight. The medallion will protect you from any injury, but it will apply the corresponding damage. That means, that if you would lose an arm from an attack, it will stop you from using this arm during the rest of the fight.”
