Chapter 4504
In his excitement, Sergio hurried toward the palace without a second thought. When he
arrived, he discovered that there was already a horde of people at the registration area
just outside the palace entrance. After signing up, he stayed the night at one of the inns
near the palace.
Early the next morning, Sergio got up and rushed directly to the Prayer Hall, a place used
by the South Cloud Royals to worship the heavens. The place was huge and Morticia
designated it to be the site of the competition.
When Sergio arrived, he noticed that there was already a sea of people outside the Prayer
Hall. Tens of thousands of people had come from all corners of the world of cultivators to
participate in the competition.
Sergio's ambitious heart ignited with determination when he saw the scene. His fortunes
might just rise meteorically from then on and propel him to unheard riches.
As the excitement in his heart grew, Sergio walked over quickly and reported his name at
the entrance. He was given a number before entering the Prayer Hall. There were still a
couple of minutes left before the competition began, so the participants began to gear
themselves up.
A sense of excitement and tension was present throughout the entire venue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSergio did not panic at all, though. He was actually more confident when he looked around
and did not see any familiar people. As long as someone like Darryl did not show up,
reaching the top ten would not be an issue.
At that moment, a eunuch entered the hall slowly and walked to the center of the ring.
He announced loudly, "Everyone, today's competition is unlike any other in the past, for
the royals require individuals who are beyond skilled and powerful. No rules have been
drawn up and anyone who thinks that they are strong can come forth as they wish.
"Be warned that battles can be ruthless. I hope you will all refrain from being too impulsive
and confident. The competition is three hours. Once the time is up, the last person
standing will be crowned the winner."
The eunuch hurried down after making the announcement. Then, a big bell was rung and
the competition officially began.
'No rules?' A majority of the cultivators present there were all stunned after hearing that.
They were also extremely eager to give it a go, but unfortunately, no one dared to be the
first.
Moments later, a young man laughed when he saw that no one went up and decided to
jump into the ring.
He glanced across the crowd and said, "Haha, are all of you really that cautious? I'll go first
then! I am Trey Wolfforth, a disciple of Green Cloud Sect! Does anyone wish to engage me
in a duel?"
Although Sergio wanted to go forth, he decided to sit back and watch after some careful
consideration.
At that moment, a burly man sneered in the crowd below," What kind of sect is the Green
Cloud Sect? Since I've never heard it of it before, I shall come forth to experience it!"
Then, his figure flashed past and he entered the ring with a proud look on his face. "I am
Thorgan Folge. I do not come from any sect nor subscribe to any teaching! I am looking
forward to make your acquaintance!”
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the two of them. Every single person
could sense that the two men were strong individuals. One was a Level Three Martial
Emperor while the other was a Level Two Martial Emperor- they were separated only by
one rank.
Sergio sneered with disdain. 'Are they going up there to make a fool of themselves?
They're only Martial Emperors.'
Inside the ring, Trey looked at Thorgan from head to toe and seemed irritated by the
latter's arrogance.
"Spare me the nonsense. You may come at me. I'll let you go first since you don't follow
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmany teachings or sects," he said coldly.
Thorgan was incensed to hear that remark and cursed out loud, "You talk big. If you wish
to dance with death, then I'm not to blame for what's going to happen to you."
At the end of his sentence, Thorgan rushed forward like a cannonball and punched Trey.
One could see the space around the ring becoming distorted when his figure flashed past.
That sheer power was a sight to behold.
Trey sneered to himself when he sensed the power from that punch. He raised his hand
and deployed a protective shield in front of him with only a wave. At that moment, he was
confident that he could easily block that mighty-looking punch. 1
Roar!
To Trey's surprise, Thorgan's punch morphed into a dragonheaded phantom just as the
punch was about to land. At the same time, a dragon roar resounded throughout the
entire venue.
"Dragon Conquering Fist?" someone from the crowd exclaimed when that happened, and
an uproar subsequently ensued.
The Dragon Conquering Fist was an extremely powerful secret technique that had been
lost for nearly a century. Almost no one had cultivated it successfully during that entire
duration, so it came as a shock that a sect-less Thorgan succeeded in mastering it.
