Book 5: Chapter 117: Let Me Set An Event Flag Here Before The Tournament
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests of the Xedrios Continent, a warm welcome to Jeorgetown City of the Holy Dragon Empire! Here we are, in the golden month of September, gathering for this grand event that takes place once every five years. I am Dowd, your host for the Martial God Tournament of the Great Celestial Rite.
As the entire host stage came into full view, Dowd, a seasoned host of the Great Celestial Rites in previous years, commenced his opening speech with finesse.
The atmosphere reached its peak as clamor threatened to engulf the entire arena. Dowd tapped the magical prop, a sound amplifier, before him. The sharp buzzing sound brought silence to the arena once again.
Sitting beside me is the special guest of this occasion, the exceptionally talented Miss Fenice, who holds numerous prestigious positions across the continent. Miss Fenice, please say hi everyone.
Hello, everyone. Fenice merely smiled and waved without saying anything else. Her gaze swept across the audience as if searching for someone.
After an awkward pause, Dowd felt a sudden headache.
Did she not catch the cue to take over and transition into a more detailed self-introduction? Do I have to recite her lengthy list of titles?
Miss Fenice
Dowd covered the spectrum stone to prevent it from amplifying his voice and tapped the script in front of him.
Self introduction he softly urged.
Huh?
Fenice tilted her head, seemingly puzzled by Dowds cryptic word. When she noticed the script Dowd was tapping on, realization finally dawned upon her.
Yes! Yes! Your self-introduction!
The corner of Dowds lips curled up into a smile as he sat up straight. Indeed, with a professional host like him, nothing could go wrong.
Under Dowds relieved gaze, Fenice retrieved a small slip of paper from her chest pocket and began reciting:
Go Li! Our eyes have been on you! Go Li, as the of the , we, the , will be sure to you, so please be sure to your ! From all the .
Dowds face instantly stiffened, confusion etching his features as he stared at Fenice.Checkk new novel chapters at novelbin(.)com
W-W-What? What are you talking about? Arent you supposed to be introducing yourself? Whats with that cryptic message? How do you manage to create those censor effects while speaking?
Glancing around and realizing there was no one else in the entire room, Dowd felt his decades-long career as a host shaken at this moment.
Haha, it seems like our Miss Fenice is very shy.
There are screens in the room, allowing you to watch the live broadcasts of other participants matches. Weve also prepared food and various recreational equipment. Its advisable to relax before your match. However, do pay attention to our announcements. Being late for the match will result in a disqualification, the staff informed.
Thank you.
Accepting the key, Lilith watched as the staff hastily departed. Given the tight scheduling for an event of this magnitude, the staff members were short-handed.
Lets go in.
Lilith turned the doorknob and entered the room.
Huh, its quite spacious here.
The interior surpassed Liliths expectations, with some form of spatial magic seemingly employed to conceal its size from the exterior.
At the far end of the room, the wall facing the door featured a massive screen displaying the fireworks at the lively arena.
In front of the screen was a huge couch that could easily accommodate five people. To the right was a counter that offered a variety of beverages.
Various recreational tools filled the left side of the roomgym equipment, spectrum stones recording the strongest duels, and an assortment of books.
Lilith could not help but notice the cover of what suspiciously resembled a risqu magazine.
The Holy Dragon Empires imperial family is wealthier than I expected.
Skarst headed straight for the bookshelf, casually pulling out the suspicious-looking magazine and began flipping through its pages with interest.
Its just a standard room. Luna pouted, rubbing against Liliths side.
If Master Lilith is willing, I can take you to the special preparation room that features a private hot spring. Soaking in one before the match can be highly beneficial.
Ill pass. I dont want to draw unnecessary attention. Lilith gave Luna a knowing look, waving dismissively as if to say, Ive seen through your motives long ago.
Lilith found the most comfortable spot on the couch and settled into it. Luna nestled beside her, clutching her arm.
Skarst continued reading the risqu magazine. Little Cornelia played with Lacey, hoisting him into the air.

This was the current lineup of Liliths five-member team.
