Towards Eternity
Ch 430's. The Unexpected Meeting
Time went on until it finally showed a day that would soon be night.
On the magnificent buildings of the Match Arena, several support poles emitted a light that illuminated the spectators from the darkening day. While in the field, not a single lighting device was visible.
It was the light from the support pole that helped illuminate the vast arena field. The support poles have been arranged around the arena of the match, so that the light is able to reach the entire field though.
But even so, the light that arrived was not too bright, in the middle of the field, the light was only dimly visible.
This is what some participants, especially those who specialize in murder, have been waiting for. They work in the dark, so this kind of situation will make them free.
On the field, Zu Zhang floated up and was still focused on staring at each of the participants' fights that were still going on.
It looked like he was sitting in the air enjoying a warm cup of tea that came out of nowhere.
Rupp's....
"The Free Martial Arts Tournament has two main goals, the first is to determine how much power the rising Martial Practitioners have and participate in this tournament. For example like Wudi Ge, no one has seen his full strength yet. With him taking part in this Free Martial Tournament, it is likely that we can find out just how much power he has.
The second goal is to find out the Martial Practitioners that we have never seen before. Just an example like that little girl named Yue who had managed to kill the Killing Queen, that Lengxue. We haven't gotten his personal information at all, but judging by his strength he should have a background that cannot be underestimated" explained Zu Zhang who sipped his tea.
Behind him was the figure of a man who looked to be in his mid-fifties standing upright above the air and slowly approaching him. The figure of the man stopped beside Zu Zhang before then taking a seat in the air like Zu Zhang did.
The man was wearing clothes that were arguably very luxurious, made from a mixture of several step materials, the clothes worn by him had a fairly expensive price if calculated roughly.
With a slightly wrinkled face at the end of his eyes, this man seemed to have a mysterious aura from him. His hair was long, more than half had turned white due to age, while his beard and mustache were like that as well.
"Why are you in charge this year?" the man asked without looking at Zu Zhang.
Looking a faint smile at the tip of Zu Zhang's lips, he then took out a cup of tea from inside his storage room and gave it to the man. The man was silent for a moment before then accepting it.
"I know you're coming this year, Your Majesty. Wouldn't it be impolite if the person who greeted you was one of my subordinates?" reply Zu Zhang who returned to sipping his tea.
The man who was with her fell silent and finally laughed softly.
"I don't think you can guess that I'm coming here, Zu Zhang.... Even my assistant did not tell me that I would go watch the Free Martial Tournament in this Hundan City, hahaha...."
"I just originally guessed it Your Majesty, but judging from your brother's presence at this year's tournament, it should be natural that you would come and watch it."
"Hahaha, I was actually surprised when I got the news that he was participating in this Free Martial Tournament. He had already over ten years not increased the level of practice of his. I think he has reached his limit, and soon he will reach Forced Breakthrough," said the man who was staring at one part of the arena where the figure of the man who had previously been faced by Weng Ning during the first selection.
Zu Zhang also stared at the arena.
In that part of the arena, there was quite a fierce fight between the man whom Zu Zhang and the man who was with him, against the figure of the male participant who was dressed in purple black clothes with a fire emblem on the back of his clothes.
The man dressed in purple black clothes continued to make attacks using tread attacks containing Qi on his opponent, while his opponent only continued to fend him off with his tread.
The fight continued for several minutes, until then the man wearing black purple clothes stopped his attack from exhaustion and his Qi had been drained to over half. His opponent who witnessed it immediately gave a counterattack to him, and before long he came out as a winner.
"The way to fight is inversely proportional to you, Your Majesty. But even so, he could continue fighting until now without a single defeat thanks to his way of fighting it." Zu Zhang also gave his response.
"By the way, you can take the time to come to this place, is your task done?" zu Zhang asked who was staring at the man beside him.
The man remained silent, not answering at all, while Zu Zhang who understood the meaning of himself was silent sighed. It was obvious that he had not finished doing his duty, which was the most important person in this Black Sand Island Central Region.
Yes, the man who was with Zu Zhang was currently the King who led the Black Sand Island Middle Region Kingdom where the Free Martial Tournament was held.

In the corner of the arena of the match, where the attention of many spectators was not too focused on the place, there was an unexpected meeting between Weng Lou, who was not very focused on the venue, with the figure of the young man wearing dark red clothes with the Golden Lotus emblem behind his back.
Both of them were just silent on the part of the arena the two were in, none of them were intending to open the conversation first.
After one minute, both of them were still but the clock stood and stared at each other, until finally simultaneously, the two of them walked forward and approached each other. Whether Weng Lou's eyes, or the young man in red clothes, both of them had sharp gazes.
Before long, the two of them reached the center of the arena section, and still remained staring at each other.
"Son...this young man....." Ye Lao's voice was heard inside Weng Lou's head.
"I know he's strong" said Weng Lou, who preceded Ye Lao.
"Don't take any chances, my student. We don't know him at all. You didn't even find any information about this young man after three weeks of gathering information, I'm sure he's not from this Black Sand Island," Qian Yu spoke up.
"Not from Black Sand Island....? I don't think that far, teacher."
"Well, whichever one, he's the strongest participant so far you've met. Even the power within him was much greater than that of Wudi Ge the Strongest Youth," Ye Lao said in a serious voice.
"So the choice?"
""No need to ask that, you already know clearly what is best for you," Ye Lao and Qian Yu said together.
It was seen that Weng Lou sighed softly, then then chose to turn around and walk out of the section of the arena which meant that he gave up before even his second fight could begin.
But what was not expected by Weng Lou was, the young man also walked out together with himself, which signifies both series.
"This guy...." Weng Lou was speechless, he did not understand his way of thinking.
"Never give up on your opponent, those are the words I live by. Accepting defeat because you succumbed to me, it was tantamount to belittling and insulting the words I lived by. We'll meet in the semifinals, when it happens I hope you don't do something this stupid anymore." The young man suddenly spoke to Weng Lou before then stepping away further leaving him.
"Do you understand the meaning of his words?" weng Lou asked Ye Lao and Qian Yu.
He did not understand the meaning of the words of the young man.
