Chapter 221 – The Tournamen (1/2)

“Competition?” Fatty was stunned a little. Then, his face abruptly changed.
Yesterday, he had even reminded himself to remember the competition today. However, after going numb from all the monster fighting today, he actually forgot about it.
“What? You forgot?” Liu Lan was between laughter and tears. “You… Aiii!”
It was too late to say anything now. At 10 AM this morning, when the grand opening ceremony for the First Under Heaven Tournament ended, the Individual category officially began.
The competition was single-elimination. Winning two out of three matches qualified the participants for the next round. Before their matches, the participants must wait at the square in front of the city lord manor, and they would be automatically teleported into the field when their turns came. Fatty, who had been staying in the faraway Cloud Ocean, naturally had no way to participate. After missing two matches in a row, he was straight out declared forfeit.
“It’s all gone… My gold coins, my Celestial gear, my special reward!!!” Fatty wept miserably and whined to Liu Lan at how badly wronged he felt.
“I’m to blame as well. I’ve been busy with my guild matters. Only when I finally managed to make time to watch your matches did I find out that you didn’t come. If I had remembered to remind you early, you wouldn’t have missed it.” Liu Lan actually felt guilty.
“No biggie! It’s nothing! Ignoring the fact that I myself forgot about it, even if I didn’t forget, I might still be unable to go. I’m currently in the middle of a super good mission. Even if I had come to the competition and won, I wouldn’t be sure if I have time for the next round.”
Surprisingly, Fatty became the one to console Liu Lan. The two chatted on until it was time for Liu Lan’s matches.
After Fatty hung up, East Gate BlowingWind and the others’ calls began to flood in. One by one, Fatty explained his situation to them before closing the communicator with a sigh.
“Damn you all! It’s all your fault! You make Lord Fatty miss out on my special reward!” Fatty jabbed his finger at a monster and shouted angrily.
Dark Unicorn
Level: 50
Attack: 105 – 115
Defense: 110
HP: 5800
Notes: After the Holy Unicorn died, its soul became depraved and evolved into a Dark Unicorn.
The past Holy Unicorn clan was several thousand in number while the mission only gave Fatty one month. With his speed, it took him six to seven minutes to kill one. Fatty was pressed for time right now and simply couldn’t make room for the tournament.
One couldn’t have his cake and eat it too. Fatty refused to believe that the special rewards for the top 3 could be better than this mission’s reward: the Holy Spirit Island that used to be the homeland of the Holy Unicorn clan, and a Holy Horn that allowed the user to command Holy Unicorns. Thinking of the connection between the two, Fatty had a vague idea that made him very excited.
Despite being unable to partake in the competition due to the distance, Fatty could still watch it live. Ever since the enrollment, advertisement of First Under Heaven had been overwhelming, making it the hottest topic at the moment in the real world. All major TV stations, as well as websites, were streaming the tournament.
Fatty opened the Star Fantasia official website and found several thousand matches in the four main cities being live streamed, all at once. He clicked the panel for Black Tortoise City, searched for Liu Lan’s match and watched it while he fought the monsters.
Liu Lan’s opponent was a mage. Both players’ levels were in the 30s so there wasn’t a big power gap. The mage’s attacks were sharp and powerful, but the other aspects of that class were pitifully weak. As a knight, Liu Lan had high defense and health, but her damage definitely fell short compared to a mage. Therefore, the two began an, ‘I run and you chase’ warfare.
While the mage possessed a decent sense for fighting, Liu Lan was the one to emerge victorious in the end. She actually didn’t break a sweat at all. She only had to ride the Fire Cloud Panther around, take on several attacks from the mage, and commanded her pet, the Lightning Bird, to launch a few lightning bolts, piercing several bloody holes through the mage’s body. Then, she spurred her mount over and finished the opponent with a spear jab.
“Objection! I object! The competition doesn’t allow mounts!”
Exiting the stage, the mage shouted their objection in a loud voice, insisting that they couldn’t kill Liu Lan because she shared HP with her mount. However, Star Fantasia totally didn’t bother and simply dismissed the complaint with an explanation: Riding a mount was a knight’s prestige, otherwise, why would they be called ‘Knight’?
After growing bored from watching several matches, Fatty turned his focus to the mission ahead. While the unicorns’ power had diminished after their souls were turned depraved, they were still level 50 monsters, and their attack hurt when it landed on him.
There were too many Dark Unicorns, so Fatty chose the entrance of the temple as his execution ground and had Wheat and the Dark Sacrificer take turns to pull the monsters over. At level 40, Wheat gained a new skill–
