Legend of the Monster
Chapters 31. Tournaments
The first day of the opening of the Martial Arts tournament has arrived. Genius cultivators of various levels and also of various ages had gathered around the fighting area.
The area of the tournament is about 10 times the size of the football stadium.
The VIP area was reserved for big Clans, powerful Sects, as well as nobles. As for the participants of the Tournament has its own place.
The Lord Mayor of the Blue Moon stood on the stage to read out the rules and the order of the battles in the Tournament.
"The "rules in this tournament are.. Participants are not allowed to kill. And if the rules are broken by the participants of the Tournament, his cultivation will be destroyed."
"The participants who can participate in the Tournament are only 15-25 years old."
This tournament did not involve cultivators who were older than that, as it was a Tournament for younger generation cultivators.
The participants all numbered 5000 people and will be in the preliminary round.
In this preliminary round, it will be divided into groups. Each group will have 10 participants in it.
So for 5000 cultivators would be divided into 500 groups, and within each group would only pick 1 winner who would advance to the next round
"Haha.. If the fight is like this, I'm sure you two can be sure to be the champions." Said Ling Tian while laughing to Lin Yue and Ling Han
The genius cultivators who were at that spot immediately turned to stare intently at the three of them after hearing Ling Tian's words.
"Who is that big-mouthed young man..? Looking at his clothes, it seems he's from the countryside."
"If I meet him on stage, I'll tear his big mouth apart."
"Hopefully he'll meet me, I'll break his bones."
"Don't listen to his chatter, he probably won't get through in the preliminary round."
Those genius cultivators started commenting on the words Ling Tian had said.
Ling Tian who heard all that just smiled, then stood up and waved his hands like a famous Artist who met his fans.
The female cultivators who saw Ling Tian's actions, all laughed. As for the male cultivators, all of them raised their fists towards him.
Hearing the fanfare from the participants of the Tournament, the Mayor immediately looked towards them and saw Ling Tian standing amongst the participants waving his hands.
He still felt extremely traumatized by the wave of a hand from Ling Tian, because it was from that wave of hands that he almost got killed.
The Lord Mayor who thought that Ling Tian was waving towards him, immediately stopped reciting the rules of the Tournament and joined in waving his hands towards Ling Tian.
Everyone was very surprised by what the Lord Mayor did, they felt that he was acting too much in response to Ling Tian's actions.
However in the VIP area for the Lin Clan, they all waved their hands towards Ling Tian, which further made the guests in the VIP area feel confused.
Su Mei and Wan Ying who were at the front attendee's place, were, immediately turned around to follow the wave of the Mayor's hand and they saw that Ling Tian had made all the noise in the place.
Wan Ying also waved his hand towards Ling Tian, while Su Mei who was about to raise her hand immediately pulled him back.
"Who is that young man..? Why are the Lord Mayor and the people from the Lin Clan waving at him..?" Clan Patriarch Lei asked the other VIP guests.
"I don't know either..! Maybe he's from the royal family. But his clothes seemed ordinary, was he disguised as a commoner..?" Clan Patriarch Zhou responded to his question.
Ling Tian who saw that he had been in the spotlight from everyone, directly lowered his hand then sat back down. However for Lin Yue, her eyes were fixed on Su Mei, then on Ling Tian's feet.
"Ciii-hh.." Lin Yue only answered with a sneer.
"All right..! The reward for a participant who successfully entered the top 10 rankings, would earn 10 grains of Spirit Condensation Pills and money worth 10 thousand gold coins." The Lord Mayor spoke back to calm the commotion.
"For a participant who successfully entered the top 9 rankings, would obtain 20 grains of Spirit Condensation Pills and money worth 20 thousand gold coins.and so on all the way to the first Champion of this Tournament, will get a raise of 10 grains of Condensation Pills and a raise of 10 thousand gold coins."
"But there are additional rewards for participants who have entered the top third rank. The third rank would get a Silver Level Heirloom Weapon, the second rank would get a Gold Level Heirloom Weapon, and the first rank would get a Diamond Level Heirloom Weapon."
Hearing the gift mentioned by the Lord Mayor, those genius cultivators cheered in joy.
"All right..! The preliminary round will begin soon, for the participants please get ready."
Lin Yue and Lin Han started to wait for the name of their group to be announced, and fortunately they were both in different groups.
Each battle arena had a referee whose cultivation was of the Gold Star level and the arena also had a Protective Formation, that made the Qi energy of the participants fighting inside the Formation not to come out and have an impact on the audience.
As Su Mei's group was announced, Ling Tian immediately cheered in support for her. Su Mei's cultivation was now at the eighth level of the Silver Star, it was because they often went to Zhang Xuan's restaurant to eat the flesh of a level 3 Spirit Beast.
Su Mei and Wan Ying would actually not be able to continuously eat the flesh of a level 3 Spirit Beast because it was so expensive. But Zhang Xuan was free to them knowing that Su Mei and Wan Ying were Ling Tian's friends.
Lin Yue's face turned sour at Ling Tian's behavior, but Lin Han calmed him down.
Inside the arena, Su Mei simply stayed in the corner and did not join the fight. After the other cultivators started to get exhausted, he finally attacked all of them. This was the tactic that Su Mei ran and she ended up being the winner in the group.
Similarly to Wan Ying, she followed Su Mei's battle tactics and also became the winner in her group.
And when it was Lin Yue's turn, the Lin Clan cheered very loudly for her, yet Ling Tian only smiled at her. Seeing that, Lin Yue grew even more furious.
When the referee says the word "START", he immediately moves very quickly. And in just a few seconds he had beaten all the cultivators in his group to a faint.
Everyone who was there was very surprised to see Lin Yue's actions. A 17-18 year old girl only did a casual slap to defeat all the genius cultivators within her group.
They all checked Lin Yue's cultivation level and were once again shocked, as her cultivation was at the ninth level of the Silver Star. Lin Yue deliberately lowered her cultivation level so as not to shock the participants and the spectators too much.
If they found out that Lin Yue had been at the second level of the Gold Star, there would probably be no more participants who would enter the Tournament.
All the eyes of the participants and the audience were now looking towards him. Because besides Lin Yue was very strong, she was also very beautiful like a Goddess. The eyes of the male participants were filled with stars.
Su Mei looked at Lin Yue as if in disbelief that Lin Yue had defeated her cultivation level. Because all he knew was that their cultivation was always on the same level.
Lin Yue walked back to her seat without caring for everyone's gaze. His mood was again upset because of Ling Tian.
But after he arrived and was about to sit down, Ling Tian raised his hand and ruffled his hair then said.. "I know my Yue'er is the best among all of them."
Lin Yue's originally irritated face instantly turned red, and all the anger in her heart instantly disappeared. He quickly sat down and played with his finger.
But the faces of the men of the Tournament participants turned red in anger. They were very fond of beauties like Lin Yue who also had extremely strong abilities.
It felt like they were beating Ling Tian and there were even those who thought of killing him.
And as for Su Mei who saw that, she felt a sudden pain appear in her heart. He didn't understand why it could happen.
