Chapter 290 Golden Tribute
After deciding on the general direction, Lu Yao made some adjustments to the details.
The 4th Martial Arts Tournament will introduce special invited contestants, with Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom each holding one quota, and the two countries' strong men are sincerely invited to participate in this grand event. This was informed to the apostles of the two countries by Ambassador Yan Jiu.
Both divine kingdoms expressed their honor and happiness at being invited.
So on the opening day of the competition, two new contestants appeared in Sand City.
Lu Yao looked at the characters from both factions and felt a little speechless.
Please come over and join in the fun. Just come over and show me how to do it, okay?
The Phantom World sent out the Apostle Hubard, while the Apostle Takeo from the Takelu Kingdom was sent out.
Two apostles, representing the strongest fighting force of the Kingdom of God, attended in person.
Is this a show of respect or a show of destruction by the two kingdoms of God?
Lu Yao couldn't say.
In short, the situation was not quite what he thought.
But it's not a big deal.
If you have the talent, come and win the championship. You will get all the rewards you deserve.
Lu Yao's original goal was to add some new contestants to increase the enthusiasm and participation of the two divine kingdoms, and at the same time to provide the Yao clan's extraordinary people with more actual combat opponents.
Unexpectedly, someone sent two apostles over directly to increase the strength to the maximum.
Slymod suggested: "My Lord God, do we need to send an apostle to ensure that the Yao tribe is the final winner?"
Lu Yao said no.
To some extent, Lu Yao was actually looking forward to the apostles of the Kingdom of God winning.
If they can win the championship, I can naturally reward them with a one-day trip to the Yao world, so there is no need to find excuses.
The martial arts tournament, held every five years, was held as scheduled, with the total number of participants reaching 89.
Basically, the group of martial monks above LV20 is of this size. Excluding some who were absent due to various reasons and those who were naturally attrited in various battles, the total number is just over a hundred.
Apostle Hubbard made his debut in the first battle.
He met a tough guy, the second champion, the ice giant Ice Fist.
Now Ice Fist has reached LV31, which is the same level as Hubbard.
The battle between the two sides was extremely brutal. The flesh and blood bodies of the ghouls and the ice monsters were both gifted with special talents. One carried poison, and the other had thick skin and flesh.
However, Ice Fist has a crucial special ability.
…
[Ice Fist]: Fist attacks have a small chance of triggering the [Freeze] effect, slowing down the enemy.
…
In melee combat, Ice Fist is a powerful skill.
Both sides punched each other passionately and gave up on defense. The more Hubbard fought, the slower his attack became, and his ice fist became more and more powerful... It didn't take long for Hubbard's health to drop to the bottom, and he was on the verge of death.
He was so angry that he refused to admit defeat. Finally, he was forcibly taken off the field by the monk in charge of reception, and it was announced that Ice Fist had won.
After the defeat, Hubbard sat in a secluded corner with a messy head. He still couldn't accept the fact that he was eliminated as soon as he appeared on the stage.
Lu Yao had no choice.
Competition is so cruel, the winner takes all, and we can only hope to try again next time.
On the other hand, Takeo's road to promotion was relatively smooth.
This apostle, who had a lot of experience in combat, was LV35, much stronger than most of the contestants, and he made it all the way to the semi-finals. At this stage, he finally encountered a strong opponent.
The opponent is a LV30 Rotten Guard.
The Rotten Guard is an advanced version of the Corruptor. Not only does it have [Stubbornness] which can restrain spells, it also has an additional ability that makes it extremely capable in actual combat.
…
[Strong Wall]: Possessing high defense power naturally.
…
The battle between the agile and explosive Takenori and the defensive and counterattacking Rotten Guards became particularly stalemate and long. As a result, Takenori stood to the end with a slight advantage.
In the final, Zhu Nan's opponent is the Rose Envoy Huang Lie.
The Ice Fist that eliminated Hubad before was eliminated by Huang Lie.
Lu Yao remembered that Huang Lie was a member of Pinkman's gardener team. When he first saw him, he was just over level 20. After an era, the level of this Yellow Rose Envoy had reached LV33, and his growth rate was quite good.
Although he is slightly inferior in level, Huang Lie and Zhu Nan are evenly matched in actual combat.
Unlike before, the opponent Takeo encountered this time was of the same type as him.
This fight was different from all the previous ones. Both sides were extremely cautious and spent a lot of time observing each other and keeping their distance, just like two light-footed boxers, each testing the other's attack methods.
Both sides have strong explosive power, agility and speed, and every attack is a matter of life and death.
After five rounds of physical attacks, Zhu Nan lost his ability to fight and admitted defeat.
Huang Lie's trump card is a flowery spell.
…
[Flower Language 16: Golden Praise]: Flower Language spell, the greatest respect for the enemy is to give praise, lock the enemy and friends, thereby increasing the specific damage of both sides. Every time the enemy creates or takes damage, the Golden Praise will continue to stack the buff effect.
…
Golden Tribute is an amplifier that amplifies the attacks of both the enemy and us simultaneously to see who will be killed first. Especially when fighting against opponents of higher levels, it can be very effective if used properly.
Zhu Nan lost because he didn't want to die, but Huang Lie was not afraid of death.
Lu Yao just felt a little regretful.
A giant ice monster and a yellow rose messenger, they were both very ruthless. The excuse I just came up with is no longer valid, so I can only think of another one.
Huang Lie won the championship of the 4th Martial Arts Conference and Lu Yao promoted him to a higher level.
The Yellow Rose Envoy knelt down to express his gratitude, but he did not choose to change his job to become a Sand Walker. He was very proud of his identity as a Rose Envoy and had no plans to travel to other kingdoms of God.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He participated in the competition because of his passion for fighting.
Then Huang Lie challenged the eighteen disaster beasts. He defeated the first disaster beast and fell at the feet of the second one.
But even so, he was the first extraordinary person to break through the disaster beasts under the command of the monk Zhike.
Huang Lie returned to the Valley of Gods with satisfaction and continued to follow Pinkman to plant roses.
…
The two apostles who were invited to participate in the competition were both in low spirits, with dark clouds and confusion appearing over their heads.
Zhu Nan and Hubad sat on the left and right of the city wall, not saying a word.
Slymod's clone walked up to them, holding a silver staff.
"Mr. Apostles, it's not easy to come to Sand City. How about I lead the way for you and introduce Sand City to you?"
Exclamation marks appeared above the heads of the two apostles, and they quickly stood up.
The interests of the Kingdom of God are more important than personal wins and losses.
"That's troublesome."
"Please lead the way."
After the usual introduction, Slymode stood still and said, "As the mayor of Shacheng, I am ashamed that I did not show hospitality this time and caused the two guests to encounter quite a bit of trouble."
The two apostles were speechless.
"As compensation, I have an idea. Are you interested in visiting other cities?"
A giant exclamation mark lit up on the foreheads of the two apostles.
"Thank you for your help!"
"have!"
"This is an idea of mine, but since it concerns other cities, I still need to communicate with the prophets and mayors of other cities..."
Slymod said, "Please wait a moment."
The two apostles waited nervously.
After a while, a dialog box appeared on the forehead of Slymod, who looked like a sculpture: "Unfortunately, Yaocheng is currently testing the [Brass Furnace Dragon] and improving steamboats, and is very busy. Prophet Longji declined the visit."
"Yancheng is expanding the [Yancheng Bathhouse], the [Armored Guards] Corps of the City Guards is conducting a large-scale combat exercise, and the city streets are also being renovated... After discussing with Mayor Botu, Prophet Shibao decided that this is not a good time to welcome visitors."
Sighing expressions popped up above Takeo's and Hubbard's heads.
Slymod changed the subject and said, "However, Crystal City and Uda City are two cities that welcome you two very much."
"Both cities are ruled by Lord Yaoshen's subordinates, Lord Baishen and Lord Wujiwang. They are also two large cities with a booming development momentum. Sand City cannot be compared with them."
"Which city would you like to choose?"
Zhu Nan discussed it with Hubbard.
They decided to act together, going to Crystal City in the morning and Uda City in the afternoon.
A sweaty expression appeared on Slymod's forehead.
"You two...the distance between these two cities is not close at all. If you want to see more scenery, it would be better for you to go separately. Of course, it would definitely be more comfortable to visit together."
In the end, Takeo chose Uda City, and Hubbard was going to Crystal City.
Apostle Zhu Nan couldn't help but ask: "Does God Yao agree to outsiders like us entering the world of the Yao clan?"
A smile lit up above Slymod's head. "It is a great sin to bother the Lord God with such a small matter, but this is in line with the oracle sent down by the Lord God - the world of the Yao people welcomes the kindness of friends and also welcomes the challenges of enemies. This is a thank you for taking care of Yan Jiu and other Yao people."
"If you agree, I am also very curious about the two kingdoms of God and would like to visit them to explore the possibility of further exchanges and cooperation between the cities."
Lu Yao felt relieved when seeing this.
A mentor is a mentor.
