Who Will Challenge First?

Kilise sat at the table, looking sullen. She watched as her teacher and her Senior Brother Moganton walked into the De Yun She over there, and she couldn't muster any interest in the dried fruits and candied fruits on the table.

Before long, he saw Senior Brother Moganton running back eagerly! A smile immediately spread across Kilise's beautiful face, "Senior Brother Moganton, why are you back? Where is Teacher? Does he not look good?"

She looked behind her Senior Brother Moganton, but couldn't find any trace of her teacher.

Master Moganton reached the table, picked up a plate of black melon seeds and candied kumquats, and said, "Didn't my teacher ask me to come out and get two plates of snacks? Why don't you come in and sit with us? It's quite interesting, and it's on me."

Kilise: "..."

No way!

Angry!

"Do you think I need your little bit of money!" Master Moganton said helplessly, "Then you can wait for us here."

After saying that, he took the plate of dried fruit and left, leaving Kilise sitting there alone.

Master Moganton couldn't help but sigh inwardly... Even as a female mage, it's still hard to fathom her thoughts! Especially a mage who already has someone in her heart, it's just too exhausting to be around them.

So he chose to stay single!

The mage Kilise had once again refused to join the group and was left behind, was indignant. She thought to herself, why not just take advantage of the situation for free!

She is Legendary Mage!

Moreover, he is an expert in the study of Mind Body, Astral Body, and Spirit Body!

Even if you sit here and don't move, you can still see the performance at De Yun She in the distance...

As the saying goes, "It's fun to get something for free for a while!"

It would be so great to always get something for free! But thinking about it, never mind...

She had her pride, and she couldn't bear to lose face like that! After all, there were at least two legendary mages sitting inside. If they found out that she was using her Astral Body to freeload, wouldn't she be incredibly embarrassed?

She simply took out a research report from her Space Ring and began to study it while snacking.

Waiting and waiting...

Kilise finally saw Teacher Kentji and Senior Brother Moganton come out from inside, along with many other people. Kilise glanced around and noticed that there were many monarchs from various countries among the crowd, as well as many High-Rank Mage mixed in.

They all had smiles on their faces.

Some monarchs and princes even vividly recalled the performance they had just witnessed.

Then she saw a portly, richly dressed prince with his legs loosely spread apart, arms outstretched as if to embrace someone, twisting his body and chuckling as he said something to the monarch beside him, "Play with it?" What play with it? Play with what? Kilise was completely confused! Master Kentji and Master Moganton also sat back down at their tables with smiles on their faces. Master Kentji said with a grin, "Kilise, you really should go and see this, it's very interesting."

Moganton chimed in, "Yes, I never expected that even a simple chat could be so interesting."

Master Kentji said with satisfaction, "I heard this is a theatrical genre invented by Gwenia. How did she come up with such an interesting and simple performance format?"

Kilise retorted, "This is almost as comical as the Pixie Fairy tales!"

Master Kentji criticized, "Kilise! You are a mage, and mages must always be curious about new things and always embrace change! Otherwise, we will become like the gods of thousands of years ago, stubborn and rotten beings!"

The gods are still barely clinging to life.

Have you forgotten their lessons?

After being lectured by Mr. Kentji, Kilise suddenly felt the same way she did when she was being taught by her teacher.

A surge of admiration welled up within her like a gushing spring! Kilise face flushed crimson, and she twisted her hands together. "I understand, teacher..."

Well, I'll go check it out later!

With a studious spirit that draws inferences from one instance, Kilise said, "Recently, I've been researching how to deepen immersive hypnosis. My research has found that happy things can make a person's mind more immersed in them. Perhaps I can incorporate that crosstalk performance you've been listening to?"

Master Kentji: "???"

Master Moganton: "???"

They imagined a person sleeping at home, when suddenly they heard a loud, cheerful voice coming from the living room. When they opened the door, they saw two rather comical-looking Pixie Fairy and Erlan Leprechaun dressed in strange robes and gowns, bickering and performing a comedy routine with the person...

Master Kentji and Master Moganton both shuddered! Was this a beautiful and joyful dream? This must be a nightmare! Master Moganton hesitated, then said, "No... you should see it first before making a decision."

Master Kentji didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer, so he quickly called the waiter to serve the food. After finishing his meal, he got up and headed towards Kentji Square! The Martial Arts Tournament was to be held in the evening, and they had been eating and strolling all the way until now, so it was the perfect time to go.

However, the large number of people this time caused frequent traffic congestion on the ground.

Master Kentji glanced at the dense crowd in front of him—among them were quite a few people wearing magnificent and dazzling crowns... You've got some nerve!

He just took flight! Why should I, a legendary master, have to squeeze onto the same road as you?! Seeing Master Kentji take flight, Master Moganton and Master Kilise were stunned—"You can do that?" Kilise was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes filled with admiration! "Truly worthy of being a teacher!"

Just as she was about to take flight, Master Moganton grabbed her. Meeting Kilise's curious gaze, Master Moganton said, "It is very unladylike for you to fly. Take my flying carpet."

The monk Moganton, who was born into a noble family of the Sand People, had a special fondness for flying carpets, a type of flying prop!

soon,

They then took off on a flying carpet.

Seeing this, many mages in the crowd on the street also took out their flying devices and stopped squeezing in with the ordinary people below.

In fact, some people had long wanted to fly to the Martial Arts Tournament venue, but since this was a grand event hosted by Your Excellency Gwenia, they had reservations.

Now that Your Excellency Gwenia's teacher is leading the way,

They were able to let go of their burdens!

To show respect,

They all followed behind Master Kentji.

So the procession looked quite spectacular! At that moment, Lin Xiaowei was looking at her speech on the stage of the Martial Arts Tournament when she inadvertently looked up and saw a vast procession in the sky... If there were some clouds or something, it would definitely be an ascension team, the very embodiment of immortals.

When she realized that the person at the top of her head was her own teacher, her face twitched!

You're so capable! Very soon.

Master Kentji then landed inside the venue.

Actually, they should have had their tickets checked at the outside ticket gate before coming in, but the mage on duty at the ticket gate saw that the person at the top was Master Kentji, and the lowest mage behind him was at least a sixth-rank mage!

How could they dare to stop him? They dared not ask any questions! Master Kentji landed directly not far from Lin Xiaowei, and the other mages also landed one after another, each nodding to Lin Xiaowei in greeting. Because they saw Master Kentji walking directly towards Your Excellency Gwenia, they did not approach him.

Lin Xiaowei said irritably, "You've only just arrived and you're already causing me trouble!"

Is it reasonable for a group of people to fly in through the sky?

Kilise was immediately displeased, but Master Kentji didn't give her a chance to speak, "Moganton, take Kilise around and see the sights."

"Don't let me go Moganton! I told you to let me go, didn't you hear me!"

How could Moganton dare to let go...

After Kilise was pulled away by Moganton, Master Kentji laughed and said, "It's my fault, but I really didn't expect the Martial Arts Tournament to be so impressive!"

The Master Kentji turned his head and glanced at it.

The arena was filled with numerous broadcasting devices suspended above it—the cost of these devices alone, just for the use of the signal base stations, was exorbitant! Master Kentji still didn't quite understand why Gwenia was doing all this.

Is it all just for making money? Meeting the Master Kentji's questioning gaze, Lin Xiaowei put away her speech and said, "You'll find out in a little while. By the way, what about Senior Brother Zaitseid and Senior Brother Ke Ge Lie? I sent them invitations too."

Senior Brother Zaitseid was a Legendary Mage specializing in necromancy.

He has a rather eccentric and withdrawn personality and doesn't like socializing much.

His appearance to outsiders is that of a huge and imposing heavily armored warrior, but in reality, the armor is empty; it is the soul of his Senior Brother Zaitseid that is attached to the armor.

His reclusive nature was not due to a peculiar personality.

It's because they're shy...

Therefore, they use armor to protect themselves...

As for Senior Brother Ke Ge Lie, he is a mutated fire elemental spirit! He has an explosive personality and is an extremely hot-tempered guy!

Master Kentji laughed and said, "Zaitseid is stationed on the Negative Energy World plane and has no time to come over; as for Ke Ge Lie, he is in seclusion and probably hasn't received your invitation."

Lin Xiaowei nodded.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he asked his teacher to sit down in the guest section.

She went to check on the preparations of the goblin Bart Yuda and whether all the participating contestants had arrived...

After a busy period,

Once the area around the arena was packed, Lin Xiaowei went backstage again to find Bart Yuda: "Are you ready?"

In the preparation room,

Bart Yuda took a deep breath, then looked at the several suits of armor that had already been assembled and were displayed to the side, and solemnly nodded, saying, "Ready!"

He stood up, and several Barbarians warriors behind him carried the cabinet displaying the armor and followed.

Lin Xiaowei led them at the front, and when she reappeared on the stage, the lights that had been set up beforehand instantly focused on Lin Xiaowei! Then...

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted! It was Gwenia Lynn Index Ostaggu! The most legendary genius in the world today! The genius mage who created the Magic Internet! A top-tier tycoon with immense wealth! The dream goddess of countless princes and nobles! Of course...

So all we can do is dream about it.

The waves of cheers, like sonic waves released by a sorcerer, lingered on and on! The Master Kentji, seated in the special guest section, immediately broke into a kind, fatherly smile—that...

It was his disciple! Master Moganton was quite pleased, but Kilise's emotions seemed somewhat complicated.

Lin Xiaowei raised her hand to quiet the cheers, which gradually subsided. Lin Xiaowei then used a spell from the Energy Shaping School to amplify her voice, saying, "I know everyone is here for the World's First Martial Arts Tournament. Thank you all for coming. After careful discussion, we have decided to hold this Martial Arts Tournament in a title defense format! Our team will nominate a champion, and each participant will have another chance to challenge! The Martial Arts Tournament will last for seven days. Anyone who has not taken the stage after seven days will be considered to have automatically forfeited!"

The rules are simple.

There are also many loopholes.

actually,

The most reasonable approach would definitely be a Points- based competition.

However, the Martial Arts Tournament was not the main point; Lin Xiaowei's original intention was to draw the attention of the association's mages to basic physics knowledge! Although the Martial Arts Tournament was a big deal, Lin Xiaowei never forgot her original intention.

As soon as Lin Xiaowei spoke, a flurry of discussion broke out below.

Gladiator shows aren't new in the Main World, and the various rules were developed relatively late.

They had seen gladiatorial combat with a contest of the same arena before, but it was usually held in less formal underground arenas. They never expected that Your Excellency Gwenia would use this method to hold Martial Arts Tournament!

Lin Xiaowei was completely unfazed. "I know that each warrior has their own unique fighting style, and some even have serious counter-relationships! However, shouldn't choosing when to go into battle and what kind of opponent they will face be considered? And luck has always been a part of strength!"

Otherwise, why would so many people in the Divination Faction tirelessly study fortune-telling and luck-telling?

Lin Xiaowei's words quickly convinced everyone.

Anyway, she's pretty, so whatever she says is right!

After explaining some of the rules, Lin Xiaowei introduced today's protagonist— Bart Yuda! She said, "This is our champion, the goblin Bart Yuda!"

Huh? Countless voices of doubt converged, forming a shout that contrasted sharply with the previous cheers.

"It's a goblin? How did you come Your Excellency Gwenia?"

"Perhaps Her Your Excellency Gwenia wants to demonstrate her impartiality and will not participate in the prize money competition?"

"But that goblin has quite an air about him... And what are those black armors on those display shelves over there?"

"Hahahaha, what's wrong with you? How dare you say a goblin has such a refined demeanor?"

The person who heard this burst into laughter, which also drew laughter from the audience around them, as if it were the best joke of the day.

They simply didn't believe goblins could have any fighting ability.

Even the most degenerate nobles of a corrupt and decadent capital city can don armor, mount a fierce steed, and charge in and out of the goblin's chaotic camp! As long as no goblin elders appear in the goblin settlement, they have nothing to fear!

Because the appearance of elders in a goblin settlement signifies that they possess the power to use magic.

Furthermore, the elders will train goblin archers and spearmen!

Although still very weak—

But it's perfectly fine for fighting against the private armies of noble leaders.

Therefore, in addition to using curly-haired baboons as an analogy for nobles, people in the Main World also like to use "worse than goblins" to describe nobles...

Amid a chorus of boos

Lin Xiaowei remained unmoved. She glanced at Bart Yuda and noticed that the green-skinned goblin warrior was as composed as ever! Indeed.

Morale is up!

Lin Xiaowei looked towards the challenger area and asked, "So, who will be the first to challenge?"
