Chapter 394: Big Uncle

The song was a tereat arolden trident, and where it passed waves of light burst outward

“Colory and honor! Today you blaze hotter than the sun, and light up the sky with your radiance”

The golden light restrained itself, until it was just hanging over the entertainer’s body The trident itself reht, and launched to the skies like an arrow It was a single line of pure golden light in a sea of soothing blue The golden light spread like an infection In an instant, that deep blue becaht that blanketed the entire arena

The blinding light slowly receded, until it vanished froain treated to the crystal-clear blue sky of Luo City, and it’s happily burning sun Enchanted though they were, the listeners began to cheer as they regained their senses

A They were in shock

A digital voice arose in the silence after Poseidon’s concert “We will be co the tournament soon The first round will be decided by lots Competitors, prepare to meet your opponents”

There would be no waiting The co lots In the skies overhead pictures began to be projected against the backdrop of the blue sky Each one represented one of the registered co in the sky

The man known as the Terminator slowly rose to his feet When he spoke, his voice cracked across the arena like a blast of thunder, without the help of any sound amplification equipment

“Begin!”

As his voice rang out, the pictures in the sky began to flash and change They rearranged theain in to orderly pairs It only took a hts to be set

In the waited area, the badges pinned to each fighter’s chest began to gloith a pale light They projected a number before their eyes, different froe nuers They rose and filed out in to the arena to find their places The computerized voice called out anew

“Round One of the Cutting-Edge Grand Adept Tournament Would the corounds”

Lan Jue’s own badge illuminated; One thousand seven hundred and twenty four Now he had to find the person that nued to They were slotted to meet at arena thirty five The final nuo out with the third batch of fighters

Each batch was about two hundred competitors They would need fifteen batches to cover all of the contestants today

The rules of this tournament had been expressed to them when they’d applied to compete These were all Adepts, so they didn’t have any problehts would go beyond half an hour, and each one was closely monitored to ensure all rules were followed

The fight ended the ht back It was absolutely forbidden to hurt anyone intentionally In the event a fight was not over by the thirty minute mark, the results would be deteres The final decisions would rest with them

The sheer nuer needed to worry about stunts to keep the action hts, and they did Already the eyes of the galaxy were locked on them

Transh to run a s for ant prices they’d promised had been earned over time Whatever costs they’d accrued would certainly be countered by the proceeds fro that cost was hard to fathom the surplus

Although Lan Jue wasn’t due until they called the third batch, he stepped out on to the field anyway There were a couple fa to compete

Three of the first group were representatives from Skyfire Avenue; the Barber, the Seamstress, and the Pharmacist They stood upon their platfornated platform in five minutes would be disqualified

The ainst the clouds It began at sixty, and began to drop

“One in”

Fifty-nine, fifty-eight, fifty-seven…

The co ready They weren’t permitted to use their Disciplines yet, but the ti a plan of attack

“… Five, four, three, two, one Begin!”

At the computerized voice’s command, two hundred Adepts burst in to action All one hundred segments of the arena were suddenly covered in a shi+eld This was as much to protect the audience as it was to ensure one arena didn’t unfairly influence another They were practically on top of each other, so it was a real danger

The shi+elds stretched over the arenas, and out three ht zone If a competitor stepped out, or struck the shi+eld, they would be disqualified The dohest point, which was enough to allow Adepts full use of whatever Discipline they had

“Booer

There had only been a flash of golden light before her foe went sprawling through the air He sainst the far face of the shi+eld, and slowly slunk to the ground

The shi+eld flashed red, then disappeared It meant that their bout had come to an end
