The City Square of the Star Pavilion was originally boisterous and rowdy as only Tang Xiao got nothing when he had become a heated conversation among the cultivators watching his match, it became instantaneous silence as it sensed two airs of a presence far stronger than the previous eight people suddenly present just above their heads. A young man and an old man.
The two people immediately descended to the podium and stood facing Tang Xiao who was not surprised by their presence.
"Young man, thank you for saving us even for a moment. Otherwise you might not be able to stand here." Said the two men while clenching both hands to the front of the chest.
"No problem sir. I accidentally found the master while running to save myself from the pursuit of the enemy." Tang Xiao replied briefly as he clenched both of his hands to the front of his chest replying to the respect of the person older than him.
"Hahaha young man don't call me master, just call grandfather Lao. And you're pretty good at surviving under the pressure of our battles." Grandpa Lao said as he patted Tang Xiao on the shoulder as if the two people had been close for a long time.
"Son Tang, don't you still know me?" Ask Rangga smiling.
"Of course Uncle Rangga. I won't forget our purpose after this." Reply Tang Xiao chuckled at Rangga's words.
The incident witnessed all the people in the square and made them almost unable to breathe.As if those people were envious of the incident and wanted to be in the position of the blue-haired youth.
Wuush..
Grandfather Lao took out two nine-colored gems and a sword and a gold coin totaling two million coins then gave it to Tang Xiao. In addition, Lao's grandfather also gave two jade bottles that were not known what they contained as well as a black scroll. No one knew what the scroll was except for a young girl standing not far from the podium. The girl covered her mouth in disbelief seeing the scroll handed to Tang Xiao.
Not to be outdone, Rangga also gave two nine-colored gems the size of a baby's head as well as two jade bottles that were not known what they contained as well as a two-million-coin gold coin. Not only that Rangga also gave a black parchment that no one knew what it was.
Tang Xiao accepted it all with a puzzled face. He was confused as to what all this would be because almost all of the gifts were useless to him. The four jade bottles were to raise the cultivation realm madly despite already being at Saint Expert realm. Those parchments and scrolls were useless to him as they were secret moves as well as extremely low protective arrays when compared to his lowest rank. Tang Xiao could not learn a lower form of the lowest rank of his.
Nine-colored gems were also useless to him as for him there was no value when compared to the gems he had. Even a gem he had one could be a snatch of the gods.
And those four million gold coins were nothing compared to Tang Xiao's pile of treasures that formed gigantic mountains. Instead of four million gold coins, the lowest treasure Tang Xiao had was the gold coin itself.
But his attitude was misunderstood by Grandpa Lao and Rangga. They thought that the young man was too shocked to accept the treasures. Grandpa Lao and Rangga smiled.
"Young people, don't be surprised by this gift. We purposely gave this as a thank you for saving our lives and congratulations on being the champion in this intercontinental cultivator tournament." Grandpa Lao."
"It's appropriate that you accept this, son Tang. Don't be afraid that people will take your treasure. You are already one of the most talented people in the tournament this time around, from which you will get extra protection from the Star Pavilion. If those people dare to deal with you then they have also dealt with my Star Pavilion." Grandpa Lao said firmly. His voice echoed throughout the square so that everyone was able to clearly hear the statement.
Some of the men gulped to hear Lao's grandfather's statement, because initially they did intend to seize the treasures someday. But hearing the statement just now, they canceled all his intentions. Who was the one who was willing to deal with the Star Pavilion that protected an Immortal realm and four Demi God realm people. No crazy person would want to take that away.
Tang Xiao dumbfoundedly gawked at Grandpa Lao's spirited and earnest statement. It was very desirable for the young man to say the meaning of his attitude just now, but saying it was impossible. Saying it is the same as telling his identity. In the end Tang Xiao had no choice but to accept those gifts.
"Maybe better to take it. It would be more useful if I gave it to first and second brother and Aryan's brother." Tang Xiao muttered.
"Thank you grandpa Lao, thank you Uncle Rangga. I will accept this gift with pleasure." Said Tang Xiao as he clenched both of his hands in front of his chest.
"Yes yes, young man. I like a young man like you. Ah I have a very beautiful and talented and intelligent grandson. What if you become his partner. I'm sure he'd love to have a partner like you." Grandpa Lao said casually. He did not care about the surrounding atmosphere which was still a formal atmosphere.
"Openkkk..." Tang Xiao choked suddenly at Grandpa Lao's blatant remark. Especially in front of people like this. On one hand, Lao's grandfather's remark could be considered a one-sided matchmaking. And on the other hand, Lao's grandfather's remark could be interpreted as meaning that no one dared to seize Silvie or Tang Xiao because they had been betrothed.
Rangga was also no less surprised to hear that remark. He became reminded of his lover and princess Denas who has the real name of Dewi Nawang Sari. Not only Rangga, Andri, Jessika and Arya also became surprised and a little dislike of Lao's grandfather's words earlier. It was obvious that the three people did not approve of the old man's careless speech. Even Jessika wants to come forward and reject Lao's grandfather's remark but the girl is immediately prevented by Andri.
Tang Xiao was at a loss as to what to answer. Obviously he couldn't say refuse and say that he had a lover. The young man was afraid of hurting his grandfather Lao and grandson. But if she didn't say it, Tang Xiao was afraid that Grandpa Lao would actually match her up with his granddaughter.
With careful consideration and quick thought, Tang Xiao would tell the truth. The young man was about to advance, but Rangga had walked over to grandfather Lao. Seen from Rangga's serious face like he was about to say something important.
Rangga whispered in Grandpa Lao's ear. And Grandpa Lao heard the whisper with a change of face.
Everyone in the square just fell silent not knowing what to do. Even so they were very curious about what the two great men were talking about, it was impossible for them to ignore what they were saying. Patiently, people waited for what happened next.
Grandpa Lao smiled broadly at the words of Rangga just now who was whispering in his ear. He looked towards Tang Xiao then looked towards the people who were standing not far from the podium. His eyes were fixed on a beautiful and charming girl. That girl Silvie. Grandpa Lao walked over to Tang Xiao while patting the young man on the shoulder.
"Hahaha the young man doesn't have to worry about what I said just now. Maybe my granddaughter just doesn't get to know you right away. However, for a great young man like you, it is fine to have more than one lover. Haha...." Grandpa Lao was blown away as he patted Tang Xiao's shoulder.
The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing Grandpa Lao being able to accept Rangga's explanation. Despite whispering, Rangga's words were clearly heard by Tang Xiao so that Tang Xiao could tell what they were talking about.
"All right, young man. If you're interested in my beautiful granddaughter, tell me right away. I'll persuade my grandson. Okay.." Whisper Grandpa Lao while blinking one eye.
Wuush..
Grandpa Lao and Rangga disappeared from the podium after feeling there was nothing more they were talking about. The two people suddenly appeared near the podium and instantly disappeared just like that when Grandpa Lao had touched Silvie's shoulder and Rangga touched Della's shoulder.
It happened so fast that people were shocked by what happened. They just ngeh when two people near them just disappeared.
Chairman Victor and the others again advanced to the front of the podium facing the people who were still standing waiting for what the next move would be.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, with the submission of this prize, signifies that the intercontinental martial arts tournament has ended and congratulations to those selected as finalist candidates. Congratulations to those of you who have been chosen to study in a better place than those on this continent."
"You are the future of the nation. Your success and success will have a great impact on the world."
"We hope that you will return and serve your respective continents without forgetting your place."
"And remember.. Never be a traitor to your own country. If that happens, be prepared that your fate will end up equal to those ten."
The eight important people took turns giving the last words before everyone dispersed and followed their respective paths.
"And for you..." The eight important people pointed to the finalists.
"The token you have held is your identity as a core disciple in the sect or kingdom where you have been chosen by each sect and kingdom according to your needs." Victor said calmly. He as the mediator among the three sect and royal envoys spoke more.
Of course hearing that, the finalists who were on the podium were shocked in disbelief. Especially those who are young like Rina, Arya and others. You could say there will be a dispute between core disciples within the academy or sect later.
"You don't have to worry about what happens next because you who are chosen will automatically become disciples of the messenger elders and these elders will teach you directly. And of course your dormitory is not far from your teacher. So what you need to prepare is your mentality and your desire and persistence later." Continued Victor who understands the feelings of the young people in front of him this.
Victor spoke a few more words to encourage those specially chosen and generally chosen by the three powers.
Of course most of those chosen felt happy and proud. Moreover, they were the finalists who were directly appointed as core disciples. Naturally their names would skyrocket quickly and become a warm conversation among the world cultivators.
"Help... I don't know if we go to the Sect first or directly to fourth sister's place." Andri said to Jessika through thought.
"I'd rather go straight to fourth sister's place. I believe the world there is much more beautiful than this continent. Ah I can't wait to go to fourth sister's world." Reply Jessika vigorously while clenching her hands forward.
People around feel astonished by the behavior of the two lovebirds who whisper to each other. Unlike Tang Xiao, she also had the same opinion as her two brothers. However he had to look for someone influential whose presence could bring the eight people to their knees.
Victor and a few others were still talking alternately about what the next step would be. Jessika and Andri were still discussing whether they would go to the Sect academy or go pick up their fourth sister. While Tang Xiao was still thinking about who would replace him negotiating with those old men so that he and his two brothers would not go to the designated sect.
"alright... Now it's time for the finalists to introduce themselves. What is your name, how old you are and where you are from. As well as your cultivation level." Said Victor as he glanced at Tang Xiao, Andri and Jessika while saying cultivation level. Only those three people were the ones that no one knew of his cultivation level. Even his own teacher, Grandpa Lao did not know the cultivation level of the three people.
After saying that Viktor and seven others retreated backwards letting the finalists show their identity as well as strength.
Started by the Black Rose group one by one until Rina's turn.
"My name is Gantari Rina Enda. I am from the Nusantara Kingdom. I am the only princess in the Kingdom. I am fifteen years old. I am at the Six-star Legend realm."
Wuush...
Rina opened her cultivation level but there was no overreaction. Almost everyone was able to see Rina's cultivation despite being covered up. Yet still people were still amazed by such an easy age already at the six-star Legend realm. What a genius.
Next up was Young Ashura's group. Arya first advanced. And just like Rina there's nothing special. He also took off his mask showing his handsome face.
Finished Arya, it was Jessika's turn to come forward and introduce herself.
"My name is Jessika Meisi Daros from this Land Of Soul Continent I am 16 years old and my current cultivation level is this." Jessika did not mention which Empire she came from.
Vusshhhh....
The seven star Saint realm.
A silent atmosphere for a moment. None of them spoke . Everyone dissolves in their own minds. Even Victor the other seven people could not help their awe and surprise. Never had they heard of a teenager at fifteen or sixteen being at the realm of a seven-star Saint. It was clearly a shock to everyone present.
"Ughs.. I feel like I've been wasting my life all this time. I have aged head three and I am new to the Eight-star Legend realm. Damnit.. I don't believe this." Mumbled a cultivator from the crowd. That guy looks desperate.
"me too... Ahhe.. I feel sorry for this. I was in front of the girl like an insect in front of the moon.. Shit..." The other law.
Some of the people present had complained about their lives.
Jessika backed away slowly with a satisfied smile. He had also taken off his mask so that people grew even more envious of him. Especially the young women. Of course the princes of some of the Empire did not blink when they looked at Jessika's beauty.
It's Andri's turn. The young man advanced slowly while tightly grasping the hand of his lover, Jessika. The girl momentarily blushed in embarrassment and her heart felt warm.
"My name is Andri Arganta Bagaskara. It comes from the Land of Soul. Before I showed my cultivation, there was a sad story about me. But with that sadness, I rose up against all the obstacles." Said Andri while tightly grasping Jessika's hand. The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
"I'm sure there are enough people who know my story. I used to be a peerless genius on this continent. Every day surrounded by many people. Family, friends and friends, all want to lick me.
One nice day, I suddenly fell into the deepest painful abyss. Family, friends and friends who always licked me, as if they did not know me at all. Even my family, other than the queen's mother, doesn't consider me.
But destiny says something else. With the hard work and passion of the person who loves me, I can be in this position. This beautiful girl next to me used to be my fiancee. But by force, his parents erased his memory of me so that when I first met, I felt happy and tormented at the same time.
But it all ended when we met the third sister. His presence becomes a coolant as well as a clue for us. Being able to meet a sincere person like third sister is an honor and a boon. I also met a teacher who loved me very much and was patient with me. It is thanks to you that I can be like this. Meeting him was also an infinite honor.
My beloved and I have considered very well that we are neither part of the Alfa Empire nor of the Gama Empire. It wasn't us who wanted that, but they themselves wanted us to leave their Empire. If.... If between the two empires there are trying to persuade or offer us back to their respective Empires, then the two of us will not follow the sect that has been appointed before the two Empires are wiped out from this world.
I am seventeen years old and this is the only story I can tell. As for my current cultivation level is this."
Wuush..
A peak Saint realm aura came out from Andri's body. Not quite up there, suddenly came out muffled from Andri's body showing that the young man had leveled up to the realm of a one-star Ancestor.
The quiet return was even more silent than before. Everyone stuttered with what they were about to say. Their words came to a halt in the throat but their minds floated everywhere.
Of course, Andri's statement just now was a very surprising thing. What the two empires have done that makes the two lovebirds to have to act so far to vent the resentment of the deepest heart. Not only have extraordinary talent, the two lovebirds turned out to have a pretty sad story. That's what people think now.
Victor and seven others, despite being over a century old, witnessed the extraordinary event that had just happened for the first time. How could one possibly level up just like that when giving off the aura of his cultivation. Moreover, the foundation of his cultivation is automatically stable without having to try to stabilize it.
Andri and Jessika retreated with a satisfied and relieved smile. Although timid, Jessika is very happy that her lover admitted their relationship in front of the public. Moreover, among the people present in the square were their parents who must have been very surprised to see the two of them and heard what Andri said.
Among the crowd of people who filled the Star Pavilion City square, there were two women who were crying so hard on their husbands chest. The two women are the mothers of Andri and Jessika.
Andri elbowed Tang Xiao who was dumbfounded as if thinking of something. The blue-haired youth looked surprised as he was slowly followed by Andri. Tang Xiao turned his head and saw Andri gesturing to come forward introducing himself. She was the last one who had yet to introduce herself among the other contestants.
Tang Xiao advanced with doubt. Actually from earlier, from the beginning Andri introduced himself, Tang Xiao was busy thinking of the right and reasonable reason for him and his two brothers not to go to the designated sect and study there. According to Tang Xiao himself, if his two brothers entered the designated sect, then their development would be very slow not at the maximum. Another case if they go on adventures together facing various obstacles, then the strength of both will be able to increase quickly. Moreover, it was very easy for Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao looked around, despite not seeing firsthand what had happened before, yet he understood what had happened. And the young man smiled cunningly, he wanted to make a bigger furore out of the furore of his two brothers. The young man slowly opened his mask and smiled gently and a seductive look. It makes everyone stop breathing.
"Ehem..... My name is Tang Xiao, over fifteen years old. I am from the Land Of Death Continent. There is nothing special about me, except that I am the third sister of my two brothers. My first sister was named Andri and my second sister was named Jessika. They are very good brothers, although sometimes I often judge my brother, they are angry and just pick me up. Ahaha. let alone if the second brother is already angry, I and the first brother can only be silent and do not dare to refute the words of the second brother when it is wrong is actually the second brother.
Well I am very grateful for the presence of the first and second brother in this life. Ah yes actually we still have a little sister, but for some reason she has to come back and not be able to participate in this tournament. Ah for the time being my cultivation is this."
Wwuuhhss...
