Chapter 775
(Unedited)
…
Loud cheers could be heard from the city not too far away from the stadium. And those who are in the floating stadium who are trying to watch the event from below showed a confused look in their eyes. They did not know what is happening in the city but the shouts that could even be heard in their location are something that has attracted their attention.
Some of the people who are really curious about what is happening have already sent their servants to check the situation.
Soon news has spread throughout the entire stadium that in the city, there is a big screen that displays the battle happening within the forest.
And now many people have already returned to the city and are watching the big floating screen.
"Haha… This is easier than straining my eyes in watching the battle in the forest. I could not even see what really is happening, but with this, I can watch the most exciting parts."
"Who made this? How did it appear here?"
"I don't know… from what I inquired from those that have started watching, it seems that this thing belongs to a small village named Ji."
"This is interesting…"
"I want to go to that place…"
Soon many floating swords could be seen above the city as many people began watching the large screen.
This kind of event is happening in every main city in the human race territory. Everyone was caught up in this even that many have excited expressions while watching the battle on the screen.
When they saw the woman destroying the castle of the enemy, everyone was all awed.
Meanwhile, in one particular city, the entire population is loudly chanting a woman's name in the air as they proudly showed their fighting spirit and camaraderie.
This is the city where which the woman belongs to. What she just did truly inspired the whole city as they are truly proud of her.
The lords and high lords in the city are all showing happy smiles on their faces.
But in contrast, the city that was defeated in this battle showed a gloomy expression on their faces.
As the battles continue the broadcast did not stop.
Since there are only fewer than 1000 screens that Shin Jiao installed all over the human race territory, the broadcast is very smooth.
Meanwhile, Shin Jiao showed a faint smile at the people handling the broadcasting. After their training, they can be considered experts with regards to changing cameras, broadcasting, and directing the event.
Everything looks like something from the movies.
After about an hour of furious battles, there are only around 20 groups that were left which means around 400 people are remaining for the Heaven and Earth Opening.
Those who have lost feel a bit dejected, while those who won their battle celebrated.
Then Raon Lee and her partner once again appear on the screen as they did some recap of the battle that just happened.
Those who had not seen the first battle excitedly watch the recap and showed appreciation after watching what had happened before.
Meanwhile, in the central part of the human race territory where the saint rulers that ruled over the territory stay, all of the saint rulers showed smiles on their faces.
"Saint Ag-ton… should we interfere with what is happening in the Osmond clan, or just continue to wait? If we let this person go and the Osmond clan caught him, then the human race would have truly lost something…" a saint ruler said as he looks at the elegant-looking man with sleek long black hair.
"Yes, I agree… That young man is truly interesting. He is able to affect the whole human race with three simple things that he shared. How much more could he change us if he could share more…"
"That's right, we should stop that traitor from the Osmond clan…"
As the saint rulers around the long table began to voice out their opinion, Saint Ag-ton showed a contemplative look in his eyes.
He then raised his hand to stop those around him from their discussion.
"If… If we interfere and this kind of technology will be permitted to spread in the human race territory, I think it would weaken our forces. Being too reliant on artifacts is not a right thing." Ag-ton Kiwazo saint with a frown.
When everyone heard this, they all quieted down.
"Saint Ag-ton… We all knew that the High elves became strong because of their unique artifacts. Though it caused them to fall to the charms of the devil, yet this guy here is different. The energy weapons he has given us can already be called an artifact that has balanced the war…"
"We have been the weakest amongst the immortals in the immortal land. The dragons have their size, the High Elves their unique artifacts, the Zith'ra clan have their uncanny strength, the Gigantus have their tough skin and bones, and other races have their own advantages. However, we only have our frail bodies and our tricks… I think it's time for us to adapt and change."
As everyone once again said their thoughts, Ag-ton frowns. They have a plan to plunge the entire human race into a dangerous situation that would ignite each and every human's potential. But they also knew that it has a cost.
However, now, another opportunity appears right in front of their eyes, a more efficient way to become stronger.
As the council began discussing more thoroughly their next step, deep within the territory of the Osmond clan, a figure suddenly appears floating in the air.
The location that this figure is floating at is the same location where the village of Ji is.
Yigan Osmond is a 50,000 years old saint ruler of the Osmond clan. He is not the oldest but one of the most powerful members of the clan's ruling body. However, due to some circ.u.mstances for wanting to gain more power, he was visited by the shadow in his dream.
The shadow talks about extreme power that could overshadow anything which belongs to the light. As Yigan Osmond saw and feels the shadow's energy, he was tempted.
As his mind slowly became clouded, he began to influence others below him. However, he is unable to affect any other saint rulers from the clan, hence he has targeted those that are loyal to him and infected them with a shadow wisp.
But everything fell apart because of the person hiding within the area that he is standing right now.
Yigan has already scanned this place hundreds of times but still found nothing.
This time, he decided to land on the ground and carefully inspect the area. He walks leisurely while scanning his surroundings but then still found nothing.
As he was taking some steps, he suddenly noticed an anomaly.
He looks to both of his sides and began to look around. Then he took a step back, and as his sharp senses and domain were raised with caution in the air, he quickly feels that something was off.
"What is happening in here?" he muttered as he looks around.
But still, he could not tell if anything is wrong.
Then an idea came to his mind. He extended his right arm forward while spreading his domain up to 100 meters. Upon doing so, he then takes a step forward.
As soon as he reaches a certain point of the area, he suddenly found his hand disappearing within his domain sense. However, as he opens his eyes, he could see his hand in front of him.
This has truly confused Yigan as he did not know what kind of enchantment is able to create such a unique effect.
Meanwhile, inside the village, the security personnel have already informed Shin Jiao of the person outside of the village.
This time, Shin Jiao is showing a serious expression as he watches the man looking around him.
"Did this guy just found the array?" he thought, but still shook his head.
This array is not just a simple protected barrier or a concealment array. In fact, the array is a dimensional array that can be considered as the ultimate protection.
And true to his expectation, Shin Jiao saw from the monitor as the man left. But he did not want to lower his guard as this person carries a powerful aura on his body. Plus there is a thick dark shadow being's power emanating in his body and combining with his aura.
…
Meanwhile, after a few hours of rest, the contest once again resumes. The next contest will test the stamina and flying capability of each individual, the Flying artifact race.
Before, only those who have flying artifacts could pass this test. However, since now almost everyone has a flying sword, the contest would now showcase their own flying skill and navigation. Of course, air battles are still applicable but this time, the contest relies on individual prowess.
Forming a team is still permitted, yet the contest will now be in a battle royale form. Those who would hit the surface below are considered disqualified.
This time, Raon Lee began to explain the rules and after her explanation, the screen then showed all of the more or less 400 contestants on the screen along with their basic information.
