Chapter 2645 Champions Tournament (4)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The remaining weeks until the Champions Tournament finally passed, and the event kicked off both in the Spiritual World and in The Adamant Land.

Beings from practically every major organization, family, state and continent had signed up for the event, with 500 individuals registered for the competitions in the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land. 200 of them would vie for the two slots for subordinates of the Stuart family, while the rest would fight for the two slots for individuals not subordinate to the family.

Given the large number of entrants, far more than Rowan and the others had expected, the battles would take place first between the members of groups of 10 competitors each and then between the winners of each group.

That would make for many fights, so the big Champions Tournament wouldn't take place in one weekend or so. With over 3,000 fights to pass, the event would have 50 fights a day on each of the planets until the end of the event, in just over a month!

In the midst of the start of the competition, which was important for the eventual winners and their forces, the common people were taking advantage of the opportunity to see high-level specialists fight each other!

...

In Dry City, the city's main fighting arena, over 100,000 spectators were watching one match on the fourth day of the tournament.

With over 150 fights having already taken place in the arena, many were chatting as they watched a match between a level 92 Demigod and a level 95 individual.

As all the competitors were using devices to block their cultivation at the beginning of level 90, the difference in the cultivation of two experts wouldn't have much influence on the matches.

Because of this, the battles were becoming even more competitive, with surprises already occurring frequently during these first few days of competition.

"This competition format is really interesting, Your Majesty." Aurae said as she sat on a red padded seat, sipping a semi-transparent golden liquid in the VIP area of the arena.

Rowan was in the same section as Aurae and several other experts who weren't competing. He said to the level 100 elf, "Yes, I wasn't expecting such an amusing competition. Some might think it limits the spectacle, but it's really nice to see a dark horse win."

"Indeed!" Oswald said with interest, while his eyes were focused on the combat platform.

In other tournament formats, the smaller battles would have no excitement and, with a few exceptions, the strongest would always win. But in an event like this, surprises could happen, which kept the interest of the spectators, whether they were high-level individuals or ordinary citizens.

"But we should change the level we let the final combatants fight, Your Majesty," a high-ranking soldier from the Black Plain Army suggested. "The first fights following that order are interesting. But the finalists should have the chance to fight at a higher level."

"That will be difficult. We'll probably have high, medium and low-level Demigods in the final rounds," Kyla said, sitting next to her husband.

.

Raiden was sitting nearby, watching the fight. He wasn't that interested in it at his current age, but his parents wanted him to at least watch an hour a day of the tournament.

"In that case, we can limit the fighters' cultivation to the level of the weakest individual. That might allow us to watch even more exciting fights." Suggested the same soldier who had brought up the subject.

"We'll see about that later." Rowan signaled as he watched the end of a match and the preparations for the next battle. "Now let's watch Cardinal Vincent Harding fight."

Vincent Harding, a member of the Spiritual Church, current leader of the Church in the Spiritual World, Sarah's representative, was currently at level 94, having become one of the strongest in that organization in the post-war period.

Vincent's opponent was one of the ancient natives of the destroyed Flowers Kingdom, daughter of the late queen of that state, who in the past had almost castrated Emperor Edwardstone, Isabella's father. Melinda Andrews, currently at level 95, was there representing her duchy in the name of getting one of the Stuart family's subordinate positions.

Given her surreal powers, she was no ordinary opponent and the upcoming match should be one of the best of the day.

Rowan was very interested in this contest, so soon everyone in the emperor's VIP wing stopped talking to pay attention to the entrance of the two warriors in the 34th fight of the day.

The host called out their names, introducing the families or forces they represented, as well as their respective powers.

In the blink of an eye, the arena was in upheaval again after the previous fight, with individuals cheering as they waited to see whether their bets would prove profitable.

"Begin!" Announced the match referee, kicking off this new round.

Of the 50 daily rounds that were taking place there, 30 of them were rounds for groups not subordinate to the Stuart family, while the rest were for subordinate groups.

As the non-subordinate rounds had already taken place today, now only the last battles of the day remained, the most important for the spectators, as many of the imperial family's subordinates were among the strongest in the world.

And this was indeed the case, so much so that, in the competitors' section, high-level individuals from the 10th stage, such as Julian, level 99, were waiting for their fights of the day!

But even the competitors wanted to see the battle begin now, given the expectations of many there to face one or even both of those individuals already fighting on the platform now.

Meanwhile, of the most important names in the Spiritual World at the moment, Callie was the only one who wasn't around, being on the Divine Continent at the moment.

She and Vico had already made their switch, with him returning to The Adamant Land and her coming to the Spiritual World.

After returning to her home world, Callie stayed with the Stuart family for one day before leaving for the Divine Continent. It was her goal to stay with her old sect until the end of the tournament, when she would come to stay in the empire for good.

And so began the most important competition in the Spiritual World, an event that would surely be renewed in the future!
