The Northern Sword God
The Triple Banner
Today was something that felt to be a very important day in the Ancient City. The courtyard of the City square was decorated with various banners of the various Sects, and the atmosphere was really crowded filled with thousands of people who had specially come to watch the Northern Region Inter Demigods Competition.
In the middle of the square itself there is a very large stage that is usually made and used for events such as mass performances for the inhabitants of the Ancient City.
Sima Yong is seen coming along with three of his friends, Ye Bing Qing, Xong Hui Yong and Wei Park, who will especially provide support for him.
"Life Semidevil Sima Yong" cried Ye Bing Qing out loud, not to be outdone by the yells of the various sects that encouraged their heroes.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly crowded due to the noise from the chatter and conversation of thousands of human mouths, suddenly something burst out from the sky with an aura that felt resolute and oppressive. Thus the thick of the oppression that flooded the entire square at that time.
After the figure that appeared in the sky was as close as it was, it turned out that was the figure of a Practitioner in the ninth level SAGE realm who flew rapidly towards the square.
The man in the clothes of a Royal Official then raised his hand, like commanding everyone to be silent and not to speak anymore.
And how, as if obeying the instructions of the man, the square that had been so noisy with the human voices, was suddenly immediately quiet in silence.
"She was named Shen Zhuangshi.
He was the Head of the special Security Bureau of the Bright Moon Empire.
That Shen Zhuangshi has many men in charge of protecting the Imperial family, so its influence is immense throughout the entire Bright Moon Empire" Ye Bing Qing explained.
Shen Zhuangshi started to make a sound with a tone that laughed with dignity...
"The number of participants from this Demigods Competition, consisted of twenty young geniuses in the Northern region.
Why only 20? Because this is an exclusive tournament, only practitioners who have a minimum cultivation of SAGE Quasi can participate in this tournament.
Only reputable sects and organizations are allowed to send their geniuses, considering our main gift is a relic from an Ancient Clan thousands of years ago..."
Shen Zhuangshi continued his lecture, which explained the rules of the competition as well as all the rules,
"It is not allowed to kill each other, because the cost of caring for a SAGE genius like this, requires a very large cost.
If one of the contestants is found to have committed an act of murder, the participant will be qualified and punished ....
There will be and there will be many of our officers who will oversee the course of the tournament, so that fraudulent actions and malicious intent kill and in minimization !" Shen Zhuangshi circulated a glance throughout the square.
Things get excited...
"Not allowed to kill? Hmm is right. The cost of resources is expensive and the maintenance of a person being SAGE is not a small cost" one whispered.
"Obviously those Super sects would scream if they were to lose a carefully cared-for SAGE Genius from infancy.. Hm"
Eventually, Shen Zhuangshi started calling out the names of the participants.
"Zhao Bai Shuai of the Zhao Clan." when the name was called, it was seen a young boy drifting beautifully onto the arena stage. People applaud encouragingly...
"He has perfect cultivation. SAGE level 5" shouted Zhao Baik Shuai's supporters in a hysterical tone.
The situation grew more hysterical, when Shen Zhuangshi continued to read the name of the tournament participants..
"Young noble Zhao Nanhai, representing the side of the Moonlight Empire. He was a young master with the cultivation of SAGE level six !"
"Zhao Nanhai is the son of Prince Zhao Qingren Baoshi, the younger brother of Emperor Zhao Baatar Saikhan.
That Imperial Family was actually part of the Zhao Clan. Since the Zhao Clan is the supreme ruler among all the Super Sects, the Emperor was chosen from the Zhao family" Ye Bing Qing explained.
After one by one the names of the participants were called, and of course ended with the hysterical screams of the fans, there was one name that raised many questions in the hearts of all the spectators in the Ancient City Square.
"Who is that expert named Sima Yong?"
"Even I see his cultivation so high. No less than all the geniuses of this Super Sect..."
The discussion between the spectators began..
"And he bears the title Semidevil, not Demigods. Is he from a cult?"
"Not was it mentioned? He was a SAGE who was sent to represent the Hell of the World... Don't say that you don't know what the Hell of the World is !"
"World Hell?" the faces of the people who heard the name Hell World mentioned, became changed.
The name Hell World in the understanding of the people is a dump filled with escapees and bad people..
"But what I saw was that Semidevil had a friendly face with the appearance of a handsome young man in his teens" his other audience sighed.
"Sad.. Do not be fooled by the appearance of a person. Look at him so young and so young, but apparently he has sinned so great that he was banished to the Hell of the World".
******
Sima Yong noticed an array space as large as the size of a small palace located before them the competition participants.
Previously Shen Zuangshi had explained that the competition was divided into two innings. The initial round is to climb the pole of the array so high up to the sky, where each pole is equipped with nets that contact one pole with another pole.
Inside the room where the pole was standing, everything was affected with a high-powered array, so all the flying abilities and Light Skill abilities would disappear.
Likewise with the Cultivation ability of a Contestant, the influence of that array would suppress their cultivation to a decrease all the way to the realm of the King Realm alone.
"Hm.. Quite heavy as well" inner Sima Yong.
All contestants will climb the pole, and can use the nets to walk to the next pole, to block opponents who intend to climb in a higher direction to take something up there.
At the highest pole up there, there are 3 Ancient City banners that must be brought down by them. Whoever first reaches the heights and obtains the banner and brings it down to Shen Zhuangshi, then that person is recognized as the winner.
Of course, with the record, when the practitioner brought down the flag, he could still be blocked by the other practitioners, before the Banner was in the trima of the Chief of the Safety Bureau Shen Zhuangshi.
"So our main task as contestants is to deter anyone from the competition, to climb the pole towards the highest place" inner Sima Yong.
"The big three who managed to carry the Ancient City banner, will be the three chosen to fight in the duel in the arena later" explained Shen Zhuangshi who was clearly remembered by Sima Yong.
