Chapter 119: Empire Representatives

Quickly seven days passed, while the rounds of the third test of the Spiritual Tournament took place!

In the meantime, on the second day of fights, the young Abby was the only acquaintance of Minos who had fought. Her battle was very balanced since the difference in the young woman's strength to the other competitors was not so large.

After all, she was at level 40, while most of her opponents were between levels 37 and 39. Because of that, there was a long battle, in which the winner was only decided after almost 30 minutes of fighting!

But Abby still had the advantage of having more spiritual techniques than her opponents in this Battle Royale fight. Consequently, she had managed to qualify successfully for the final stage of the competition, even considering all the difficulty of this test!

On the third day of the fights, the young Kara demonstrated the strength of a person with a Silver talent to everyone who was watching the battle, here in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom!

She had managed to move up to level 43, just a few hours before the test, so she had a magnificent time defeating her group, doing it in just 5 minutes!

In her group, apart from her, no one else was in the 5th stage of cultivation, so the remaining 124 participants could not cause any problems for the young ginger!

On this day, there was also the fight of Kara's brother, Ford's group.

This young man had been in almost the same situation as Abby. As he was the only one in the 5th stage of cultivation, he had some advantage at the beginning of the fight.

However, he also had to face the high resistance imposed by the other competitors, who made him spend almost all his energy to beat them!

He has had a tough fight, just like the young Roger!

But in the end, having one more technique truly gave a good advantage in this exam. So, in the end, he was still the winner of the last fight on the third day of this event.

And finally, on the fourth day of matches, Peter also fought.

He had managed to rise to level 40 in the days that had passed since the end of the second test, so he performed better than Maxwell on this exam.

And although there is already another level 40 competitor in his group, he still managed to win in his group, moving on to the last round of the competition!

Competitors who were only in the 4th stage of cultivation had been managing to eliminate their opponents in the 5th stage in almost all fights.

And precisely because of that, Peter had succeeded in passing this exam. His opponent had suffered more than he did at the hands of these other competitors, so he had been the winner of the 15th group!

After Peter's round, the Spiritual Tournament had hosted the last Battle Royale for that day. And this was the most impressive of all!

The young Davy had fought and won in his group!

Many who did not see this fight had been quite shocked by this news. After all, in the last few days, almost the whole city knew about the fact that Davy lost one of his arms to Minos!

However, the young man had not only recovered from Minos' fight but had also managed to advance to level 44!

After all, his Silver talent would not be harmed in any way, just because he had lost an arm!

Because of this increase in strength, even fighting with just one arm was more than enough for Davy to advance to the last part of the competition!

And finally, on the sixth day, young Luke had left!

He had reached level 41 just before he arrived in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom and had still received a low-grade two spiritual weapon from his family.

Such a thing was a rarity, and he had only been the second in those days of competition, who had taken out a weapon of this caliber! Besides him, only the young Kara had used a weapon of this level.

With that, he had tried and beat his group after fighting continuously for almost 15 minutes.

Anyway, on the seventh day, today, no fight drew the attention of the spectators, who were very anxious for the last day of confrontations, in which Minos and Troy would fight in their respective groups!

...

At this time, there were eight people who had just arrived at the place in the royal palace in Central City. They were in a room full of people dressed in red armor, while there was a throne in the middle of that room.

This was the royal room, where the king of the Cromwell Kingdom received official visits. As for the eight people who were in front of the king's throne at this time, these were the representatives of the eight largest sects of the Flaming Empire.

As for the king, he was dressed in a golden suit, had long white hair, and no beard. He was also very tall, over 2 meters tall!

For each of these eight people, they wore armor of different colors and shapes.

There were two women in this group, while the rest were men.

However, what most drew attention to these individuals, was that each one of them had a very young appearance, different from most of the Spiritual Kings found in the north of the Central Continent.

Anyway, there was a reason for the Flaming Empire to hand this competition over to these eight sects, rather than handing this task over to families, so these eight youths were here today.

In the Flaming Empire, noble families did not dominate regions as it did in the north of the Central Continent. No, that was done by the sects.

As to why, well, it was utterly because families were limited!

It would be challenging for a family to have many talented descendants, and even if there were, it would not be sure whether they would mature to fulfill their responsibilities!

Thus, a long time ago, several empires of the Spiritual World had witnessed the birth of the first sects.

It was basically the union of several families under the same power, which did not demand the defection of these members of their respective families!

However, in these organizations, as long as someone had talent, a person could rise to the top, even if he or she came from a humble background!

And because of this, the sects, unlike noble families, had gained the power to rule large regions in places as strong as the Flaming Empire.

But that would not be possible for noble families, such as those in the north of the Central Continent. This is because these families always placed greater importance on the original members, leaving their subordinates in the background.

And this was a mentality that was being repeated over and over again in these families, so it was hard for them to change that factor.

Anyway, these eight sects divided 8 out of 9 parts of the Flaming Empire. And each of these domains was even bigger and more populous than the largest kingdom in the northern region of the Central Continent, the Kingdom of the Waves!

In addition, each of these powers had at least one large region of high spiritual concentration, which provided them with their abundant resources!

Anyway, these 8 Spiritual Kings who their respective sects had sent, they were here to follow the last event of the Spiritual Tournament, which was scheduled to happen in the next few days.

The king of the Cromwell Kingdom then rose from his throne and then smiled, welcoming these experts from the empire. "Welcome to my city. I hope that you will get many disciples in this edition of the Spiritual Tournament."

King Cromwell, even though he had higher cultivation than those sent from the empire, he still had to respect each one of them. This is because not only were there colossal powers behind these people, but also, each of them was better equipped, both in spiritual techniques as well as in armaments and arrays.

So it was better for King Cromwell not to irritate any of these people, who certainly had their own arrogance...

After that, they started arguing about the most important details about what had happened so far and about the best candidates in this edition of the tournament.

When they heard about it, the eight sect's representatives were very impressed with the performance of Minos, who, despite being only at level 39, he managed to fight until there was even someone at level 43!

'This is the same name as miss Maisie's son. But how could he have gotten that strong? He never received help from our sect!' One of the women in the group thought about it when she heard Minos' achievements.

She knew about Minos' presence at this tournament and about his identity since Maisie had told her that before she was sent to this place.

But she had thought that her superior had just said so that she would help him in case something happened. However, he seemed to be very well prepared for someone who had grown up in this impoverished place!

She then closed her eyes for a second and blew out a breath as she thought. 'I think I'm going to watch this boy's fight tomorrow. Maybe this king was just trying to get attention because the tournament is taking place in his territory...'

...

Hours passed, and the last day of the third test finally arrived, in which Minos and Troy would have their respective fights. The young Mona would also fight that day, being the first in the order of the three!
