100: Chapter 10 Xuanhuang Fortress, Team Competition
Within the Ancient Mystic Realm, inside a heavily guarded fortress.
The fortress was filled with various defensive structures and massive buildings.
In the central palace of the fortress, a group of superhumans radiating powerful auras were chatting.
"Did you hear? Aaron Helens killed a seventh-tier Thunder Spirit King Beast yesterday!"
"Of course. Truly worthy of a top-tier Light Element, to actually slay a King Beast. Hard to imagine Aaron Helens just turned 2 years old..."
"Ye Wushang from Xia Country isn't bad either. Even though he didn't kill the King Beast, he seriously wounded it..."
"Can a serious injury compare to a kill? Aaron Helens is truly the king of this World Martial Arts Competition, too strong..."
The superhumans chattered incessantly, their words full of reverence and fanaticism for Aaron Helens.
"The World Martial Arts Competition isn't over yet. Calling someone the king is a bit premature, isn't it?"
Just as the crowd was discussing, a stunningly beautiful woman with delicate features and a graceful figure spoke calmly.
The woman wore red clothes and had a red mark between her eyebrows, looking extremely mystical.
"Haha, Mu Qinghuang, with the competition at this stage, is there still anyone doubting Aaron Helens's status as king?"
"Indeed, Ye Wushang from your Xia Country is also strong, but he's been consistently suppressed by Aaron Helens. There's no suspense left..."
As soon as Mu Qinghuang spoke, the surrounding superhumans chimed in.
These superhumans were all from other countries participating in this World Martial Arts Competition.
After this period of competition, although there were conflicts among them, many superhumans had formed deep friendships.
After over a month of fierce competition, although the tournament schedule wasn't finished, many superhumans had gained a general understanding of each other's strength.
Among them, Aaron Helens from M Country had left an extremely deep impression in countless hearts, and his strength was publicly acknowledged as the strongest.
Following him was Ye Wushang from Xia Country, whose invincible War God Body made him like an undefeatable war god.
"The outcome is not yet decided, anything is still possible!"
Mu Qinghuang said calmly.
Hearing her words, the crowd fell silent.
They knew Mu Qinghuang was extremely proud. Only when the final result came out would she truly recognize reality.
"They're here, the three new entrants to the mystic realm have arrived..."
A moment later, a low voice sounded.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. "Let's go, let's all go see what our Blue Planet's new recruits are really made of!"
Then, many superhumans headed towards the outer area.
However, quite a few superhumans showed no interest at all and returned to their residences to cultivate.
After all, the World Martial Arts Competition wasn't over yet. Every bit of increased strength could become crucial later.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qinghuang's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Then, she finally walked towards the outer area. Regardless, having more strength was always better.
...
The outer area of the fortress was a large open space, protected by powerful magic arrays.
Thirty young prodigies from the six great nations were gathered here.
Zhou Bai and the others stood behind Ouyang Hong, while the prodigies from other countries waited behind their respective mentors.
"These guys all look pretty strong!"
Xu Xiu sized up the youths of similar age from other countries around him and muttered quietly.
Although they hadn't fought yet, just from the auras they emitted, Xu Xiu could feel a hint of pressure.
Clearly, none of them were simple.
Zhou Bai was also sizing up the surrounding superhumans. The vast majority were fourth-tier superhumans.
There were even two whom Zhou Bai couldn't quite figure out; they had most likely already stepped into the fifth tier.
The talented new recruits from other countries were also sizing up their surrounding opponents.
"Welcome, everyone, to Xuanhuang Fortress. You are all young prodigies from various martial arts powerhouses. You have one night to rest. Tomorrow, a team Selection Round will be held. Among the teams from your six countries, only two teams will advance to the Main Tournament of the World Martial Arts Competition!"
In the center of the open space, a green-eyed man wearing a black suit spoke slowly.
This man was Ivan, a superhuman from the World Martial Arts Competition Association, responsible for organizing this competition.
"A team competition... only two out of six teams advancing..."
"Interesting. I'm already fired up. My great Sakura Country is destined to crush everything..."
"First place is ours, M Country. We are the destined kings..."
After Ivan finished speaking, the surrounding young prodigies spoke up one after another, their words full of arrogance and confidence.
Clearly, they all possessed absolute confidence in themselves, believing they could suppress everyone.
After announcing the competition format, Ivan left directly. Clearly, he didn't have much interest in paying attention to this kind of match.
"Let's go in first and study tomorrow's opponents properly!"
Ouyang Hong then said to Zhou Bai and the others.
The group nodded and followed Ouyang Hong deeper into Xuanhuang Fortress.
"Mentor Ouyang, was this Xuanhuang Fortress built by our Xia Country?"
Along the way, Xu Xiu looked at the buildings around them, full of ancient Xia Country style, and asked in surprise.
"That's right, it was built by our Xia Country!"
Ouyang Hong replied, his voice full of pride.
Xia Country's infrastructure construction was renowned throughout Blue Planet.
"Are you the new members for our Xia Country in this World Martial Arts Competition? How come there isn't a single fifth-tier among you? M Country and Sakura Country both have fifth-tier contestants!"
Just as Zhou Bai and the others were moving forward, a clear, pleasant, yet cold voice reached them.
Zhou Bai and the others looked ahead and immediately saw a stunningly beautiful woman in red clothes.
The woman crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping over them intently, her eyes flickering with a deep, flowing light.
[Name: Mu Qinghuang]
[Level: Sixth Grade]
[Appearance: 95]
[Chest: C]
[Height/Weight: 172cm, 51kg]
[Charging Count:]
"Qinghuang, they are just freshmen!"
Hearing Mu Qinghuang's words, Ouyang Hong then said slowly.
"Aren't the people from M Country and Sakura Country freshmen too?"
Mu Qinghuang frowned slightly and said calmly, not giving Ouyang Hong any face.
"Forget it. I didn't have much hope for you in the first place!"
After glancing at the group, Mu Qinghuang turned and left directly.
