After confirming Qi Ling's identity again, Xiao Ye left. Qi Ling then noticed that besides the sisters Ye Mingzhu and Ye Mingyue, Xiao Ye was also accompanied by Xiao Ye Ming, a person Xiao Ye Xiao Ming trusted very much.
This woman was already a Titled Douluo when Qi Ling and the others participated in the Soul Master Tournament. Her strength should have improved significantly since then.
More importantly, the Sleepless City has always been known for its assassinations, so its people can often unleash combat abilities far exceeding their own strength, achieving victory in battle.
After witnessing the strength of Chu Ling and the others, Xiao Ye did not appear particularly discouraged. Instead, she remained composed and confident. Qi Ling was curious to know where her confidence came from.
Everyone present was exceptionally capable, so the leaders moved forward at a very fast pace. Eventually, Xiaoyu's stamina couldn't keep up, and Qi Ling had to carry her on his back.
Half a day later, the group finally arrived at their destination, which turned out to be a port by the sea! It seemed that the second competition location was not here, but rather at sea!
However, at this moment, no one's mind was on that, because they were all stunned by the enormous thing in front of them, and thus could not say a word.
What appeared before everyone was an enormous ship! The deck was hundreds of meters above the sea, and its length was probably over a thousand meters. Its sheer size and terrifying nature were beyond anyone's imagination.
It's impossible to imagine how such a ship moves. Even the most terrifying Sea Soul Beast that Qi Ling had ever seen appeared tiny in comparison. Its appearance alone was enough to be awe-inspiring.
In fact, it wasn't just Qi Ling who felt this way; everyone present had the same expression. They couldn't imagine what the purpose of such a large ship was, because there seemed to be no use for such a large ship. It felt like it could almost carry the entire population of an entire country.
Even Kurumi, standing next to Qi Ling, exclaimed in surprise, " The Noah? I never expected them to lend out even this ship! That's incredibly generous!"
" Noah? What does that mean? Does it refer to the name of this ship?" Qi Ling asked.
Kurumi nodded and said, "That's right, this is the most famous ship in the Devil Realm, the symbol of the Demon Alliance. Since this ship is here, it undoubtedly shows that the Demon Alliance has put in a lot of effort for this competition."
This was the first time Qi Ling had heard the name of an organization in the Devil Realm, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this Demon Alliance very powerful in the Devil Realm?"
"They're really strong. If we're just talking about numbers, they'd probably be the largest organization in the Devil Realm," Kurumi said. "Ah, but the strength of an organization in the Devil Realm isn't just about the number of people. It's about the organization's overall strength, but even so, the Demon Alliance is still one of the top three organizations."
"I see." Qi Ling said thoughtfully. It seems that, unlike the Divine Realm, the Devil Realm is not a single entity, but rather consists of many organizations, each of which is even in opposition to the others.
However, it's hard to imagine that the Divine Realm is all that wonderful. Although it appears harmonious on the surface, who knows how many calculations are going on behind the scenes?
The Dragon God is right. The Devil Realm and the Divine Realm are simply corresponding entities. Light and darkness exist in every world because they are inherently intertwined.
Just as everyone was stunned by the Noah before them, a voice suddenly came from the deck of the Noah: "Hey! Everyone over there, pay attention, Alice is coming!"
Then, as everyone was drawn to the sound and turned their gaze in that direction, they saw a small figure leap up from the deck, perform countless somersaults in the air, and finally land steadily in front of everyone. The figure then stretched out its hands, looking smug, as if waiting for everyone's praise.
"Clap, clap, clap..." Small applause rang out from next to Qi Ling. It turned out that Xiaoyu had involuntarily started clapping. Seeing that no one else had joined in, she blushed and stopped clapping.
For a moment, no one knew who to criticize, but the girl who came down from the deck said, "Haha, little sister, you have good taste! I'm rooting for you!"
The girl in front of them, who was calling someone else "little sister," didn't look very old. She was even shorter than Xiaoyu. A pair of striking cat ears on her head twitched alertly from time to time, seemingly indicating her unusual identity.
Seeing such a young girl suddenly appear would naturally pique some people's curiosity. A tall, imposing figure walked over and said, "Hey, little girl, where did you come from? This isn't a place for you to play around. You'd better hurry up..."
Upon seeing this, Kurumi couldn't help but cover her eyes, muttering to herself, "Idiot, this isn't the way to court death."
Just as Qi Ling was about to ask a question, she saw the burly man suddenly collapse without warning, his body still convulsing, as if something terrible had happened, his eyes filled with terror.
Then, before anyone could react, the girl walked up to the burly man, bent down, and said, "Oh dear, that's great! You're a contestant now, so I can't kill you, otherwise you'd be cat food by now!"
Then, the girl abandoned the burly man and addressed the crowd, "Nice to meet you all! I am Alice, the third-in-command of the Demon Alliance, and a cute cat demon! I will be your examiner for the second test, so please take good care of me!"
Qi Ling couldn't help but ask Kurumi, who was standing to the side, "How strong is the third leader of the Demon Alliance?"
Kurumi said helplessly, "It's simple. I only need to tell you one thing, and you'll know: Alice is one of the Devil King of the Devil Realm!"
Qi Ling immediately understood. The Devil King represented the highest fighting force in the Devil Realm. No matter what kind of Devil King he was, he was not someone that anyone here could touch. In fact, all the people here combined probably wouldn't be enough for her to even do her warm-up exercises.
"The venue for the second round of the competition is in the middle of this ocean, so we will take you there on the Noah! Now, please board the ship in an orderly fashion," Alice said.
As Alice spoke, many ladders were lowered from the ship for everyone to board. After glancing at the unconscious contestant, the group obediently cooperated and boarded the ship one by one.
