"Beep, beep, beep~"
Early that morning, a shrill alarm suddenly rang through the military district, shattering the stillness. A voice followed over the loudspeakers.
"Elites, change into your training uniforms and assemble in the square within ten minutes. Anyone who arrives late will be eliminated."
People rushed out from every direction, each afraid of being even a second late.
Meanwhile, Mo Xie, who had been sitting cross-legged on his bed in meditation, abruptly opened his eyes. A slight smile curved his lips.
It was finally beginning... the Military Region Tournament!
He quickly changed into his training uniform, tidied up briefly, then headed for the square.
He had heard the announcement too. Anyone who exceeded the time limit would surely be eliminated, so there was no time to waste.
The square, also known as the Martial Arts Arena, was where twenty thousand military mages would assemble.
Twenty thousand people were participating in the first round, but it actually would not take that long. Fifty platforms had been set up in the Martial Arts Arena for the matches.
Besides, each match lasted only three minutes. If the fight did not end within that time, the examiner would judge which side held the greater advantage and decide the outcome accordingly.
With that arrangement, the matches would probably take no more than two or three days, even with so many participants.
When Mo Xie arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, military mages in training uniforms filled his view. Only a handful wore their own clothes, making them particularly conspicuous.
Jiang Shaoxu was among them. When she saw Mo Xie arrive, she hurried over.
She was wearing denim shorts that perfectly showed off her round, pert bottom, while her long, fair legs were exposed to the air, enticing to behold.
