Chapter 464 - 464: Third Stage of the Martial Arts Tournament - Part 3 (2/2)
During the tournament each year, there were a lot of programs covering different matches. Although the tournament was just a local show, broadcasted only on Fallen Star Island, because of what had happened due to the appearance of Theo and his group, many prominent television stations were live broadcasting it all over the world. With the most powerful cultivators present, the program had received good ratings and ranked first among all previous tournaments.
To be in the top 100 was already impressive, but to be in first place was an incredible achievement. Throughout Planet Spirit, the name of Theo had been heard at least once and spoken about when referring to the martial arts tournament that was being broadcast on Fallen Star Island. It was very impressive to stand out and be first, as Fallen Star Island had not been so well known before.
Of course, many living beings became increasingly curious about Theo's existence, mainly for his having killed Zeutsu, who was previously ranked first in the rankings of the most powerful cultivators on Planet Spirit.
On the internet, the top searched phrases were about the tournament and Theo. In many conversation groups, many cultivators talked about it.
Little Cultivator: [The almighty! This martial arts tournament is insane!]
Wind Hawk: [In all my 200 years, this is the first time that I have seen so many powerful cultivators together!]
Tooth Fairy: [Theo is very beautiful! I want to marry him!]
I'm a Diva: [For the comment up there, you can get in line! Theo's deity already has a fan club with 50 million women and is only increasing.]
I am your Father: [That's just a waste of time! Didn't you see that even Athena and Waru are super attentive to Theo? If I had been told before that a man would be able to win those two divas, I would have told that person they were crazy, but now....]
Needless to say, everyone understood, it was indeed possible that if Theo wanted, he could court these two goddesses.

While most people were focused on the martial arts tournament, Theo felt the presence of many powerful cultivators approaching Fallen Star Island. Some were already very close but did not dare to get any closer.
Theo was able to identify and discover that most, if not all, were not from this planet. When he killed the cultivator who tried to use illusions and poison him, Theo already had his suspicions, but now he was sure: the other planets that participated in the Planetary Tournament had cultivators spying on one another, and that's why they found out about him.
Furthermore, it was understood that the Interplanetary Tournament only took place every thousand years, and there was only 5 years to go before the next one. If any of them missed this opportunity, they would have to wait a thousand years to participate in the next tournament. In fact, some of these cultivators were only a few hundred years old; they couldn't afford to wait another thousand years.
If they did manage to get to a middle-level planet, even if they didn't make it to the Venerable Spiritual Realm, they could buy pills that extended their lifespans. While it was almost impossible to achieve this on lower level planets, on medium level planets it was not that difficult - hence, the desperation of many cultivators to win the tournament.
While only a few cultivators like Waru and Athena felt the presence of these alien cultivators, Theo did not stand still, waiting for them to come to him. Creating an illusion of himself, Theo left beside Yuki and the rest, then he flew towards the sky.
It didn't matter if they believed they were making a noble gesture by attempting to kill Theo to increase the chances of them winning the tournament, the fact that they came to Planet Spirit with the intention of killing him ensured Theo would not let them leave this planet alive.
And if the other planets continue to send cultivators to murder him, Theo wouldn't mind finding out the location of their planet and exterminating all those who were planning against him. Theo didn't care if it could affect the Interplanetary Tournament and infuriate some medium-planet cultivators. If that happened, and there were cultivators that he couldn't kill, Theo could count on Isis's help or hide all the people important to him in the [Dimensional Room] and when he reached a certain level of power, he would go out and kill all his enemies.
Of course, this was all just guesswork. It wouldn't necessarily happen like that; it was just one of many possibilities. There was also the possibility of some medium level planets joining the fight in order to get Theo to come to their planet. Having someone talented and powerful would never be a disadvantage if they could carefully control him.
Leaving all that aside, Theo flew across the sky and arrived in front of a cultivator from the Dark Planet and killed him without making a sound. This cultivator was in the Monarch Spiritual Realm, but he didn't even notice when Theo came in front of him and attacked his heart and cut off his head, killing him.
