"Now, I will choose my son-in-law, a suitable husband for Princess Lori. Meanwhile, I'm going to determine the strongest one among this young generation and entrust the heavy burden of this Justice Continent on him," the human emperor stated with all seriousness and sincerity.
"Keeping this in mind, I hope that you will voluntarily quit if you are not well prepared, before anything begins. Under-performing will be considered equivalent to betraying all living creatures here on the Justice Continent, and you will be left at their mercy!"
Everyone stood there rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. It was indeed true.
In this contest, the strongest participant would be able to win the heart of his beauty and even, reach the peak of power. However, the responsibilities he had to take and the dangers he had to face were multi-fold and also, extreme.
The excitement in the eyes of some of the living creatures present was withdrawing. This was because the so-called Justice King was supposed to be an enemy of the powerful Devil Continent.
Deep down in their hearts, they knew that they weren't strong enough.
However, when they saw Princess Lori's perfect body shape and the mysterious face under the veil, their fear was drowned by greed.
"I have studied rough statistics. Less than eight hundred contestants will attend the competition this time. Therefore, for the first stage of the contest, which will last eight days, the most powerful one will be selected each day," the human emperor stated.
"Eight days later, there will be eight warriors shortlisted. My son-in-law will be picked from this top eight.
Alright. Who will be the first one hundred to come up at the square today?"
...
A few minutes later, a hundred creatures had already taken their seats.
"Now, please pick your opponents and fight against them in the void. The winner will be one of the top eight contestants. Remember, if you break any rule, you will definitely be punished," the human emperor warned.
Soon, the battle began.
"Ricky, you should join the competition as well. I don't think the young man with red hair whom you mentioned, is easy to deal with. I'm afraid, I can't defeat him." Soar expressed his concern through a telepathic link.
"I was just thinking the same thing! I will enroll myself as soon as possible!" Ricky replied.
"But, Ricky, let's make a deal. In the end, you ha
The Dark Bear King exploded with momentum. The black Gravitation Enlightenment was constantly surging on his tightly clenched right fist. In the blink of an eye, there was a black vortex emerging around his right fist.
With the evolution of the black vortex, everything around the space seemed to feel heavier.
It was also representative of one of the creatures' comprehension of the Gravitation Enlightenment.
"Wow, he really deserves the name, Dark Bear King, for he has cultivated the Gravitation Enlightenment to such an extent! Possibly, he can even challenge people who are above him in the spiritual King level."
"That's right. No one can really harm him due to his high level of the enlightening power."
"The young man called Soar Long, will have to suffer a lot in that case."
...
Crack! With these arguments among the people watching and waiting, cracks seemed to appear in the space where the Dark Bear King and Soar stood. It was because of the powerful Gravitation Enlightenment.
After gathering the strength of his fist to the peak, the Dark Bear King then took a step forward and instantly stood right in front of Soar. Before anyone noticed, he threw a punch at Soar, intending to hit him smack in the face.
Soar just kept grinning, with red scales surrounding his right arm. He also responded with a punch, which collided with the black swirl of the Dark Bear King.
Bang! The momentum at the spot was overwhelming.
With a loud scream, a black figure was knocked away from the waves of the air wave. Wherever he passed, the space shredded itself into fragments.
