Oliver and White Lotus walk off with everyone looking at them in awe they felt they were bold and most of the magical cultivators present where wishing to be as bold as the two of them, that won't shrink back and won't let anyone treat them the way they want. And with the way Oliver behave most of them were able to tell that he was the type of person that will treat anyone the exact way they treated him if you are good to him then he will be better to you, if you are bad to him then he will be worst to you.
Hall Master Leo watch them off and could not react for some time he felt the only opportunity he would have had to make Oliver make a fool of himself was destroy by White Lotus, he was lost in thought and was wondering what type of magical spirit beast was White Lotus that it was not only intelligent but it was able to know how to access the card he gave to Oliver, he felt there was more to White Lotus that what they were taking it for, just some magical spirit beast that it was different.
As Oliver was in the street of the ninth hell, the first city he was able to imprint his Dao mark on the card that was given to him he had been trying it along the way with some guidance from White Lotus and from his experience of place his Dao mark in his storage purse he was able to do it, just that the process of the black card was more difficult than that of the storage purse.
As soon as he was done a silver light was released from the black card, it enveloped Oliver and White Lotus on his shoulder, and they immediately disappear from where they were standing.
"Welcome to the ninth hell main city battle arena" Oliver heard it clearly before he could even open his eyes to see where he was he already heard it.
Oliver was standing in the battle arena, saw it was like he was standing in a football stadium, with the seats arranged in steps from bottom to top and there were already more than a hundred thousand people sitting there waiting for magical cultivators participating in the tournament to be sent to the battle arena for the tournament to begin. It was at this point that Oliver knew that Hall Master Leo could have already sent those people that were there to the main city but he was just waiting to turn the mind of the people against him. Oliver was surprised because he stood there alone but when he looked around he found out that everyone that was in the battle arena was in groups it was already eight groups there and the less populated group was more than the number of people he met in the city hall. Not long the people from the first city showed up and with the way they all look at Oliver, everyone knew that things were not right with the people in the group and the lone youth with a little cat on his shoulder.
"Everyone according to the card you receive, you have been placed into a group of four hundred contestants in a group. There are twenty-five groups from D1 to D25 making it ten thousand people competing what is expected in this round is that the forty people remaining in any group will make it to the next round and from the next round it will be a one-against-one battle but there are some information we give the details after the forty people are decided in a group "
"Injuries will occur and death will also take place, if you can avoid killing someone do it but if you can't then do what you have to do". Everyone heard the words clearly they saw that among the crowds that were sitting down patiently. There was a section with a stone table and sitting by the table was an elderly man he was sitting on the left side of a vacant seat by the table the seat was in the middle and by the right side of the Chair was a lady, she is between her thirty-five o forty of age.
The elder man had long white hair reaching his shoulder with a white goatee he was a handsome man, chubby and about five feet and some inches tall. He was the one that spoke after he spoke the whole battle arena was in complete silence, before the man spoke no one in the battle arena was able to see them but after he spoke they were visible to everyone in the battle arena and everyone began to take notice of the area they were sitting.
"I go by the name Sir Bernard and this beautiful lady here is Lady Blue". The elder man said and keep calm for some seconds, everyone focus on the both of them what surprised everyone there was that Lady Blue was wearing all pink but she was called Lady Blue which they felt was out of place.
"Okay, those of you in the arena from your card tags step into those battle platforms before you". Sir Bernard said with a wave of his hand twenty spacious battle platforms appeared with their respective tags on them. The magical cultivators did not waste time they started walking to their various battle platforms.
Oliver walked towards his D16 battle platform slowly he was feeling awe and with the hope of reaching the realm of someone like Sir Bernard when he saw the way he created the battle platform from nothing.
When Oliver entered his platform he observed everyone that was there and those that were stepping in he found out that his strength was far too low, as the four hundred people were complete in his platform he notice that there was no Qi essence realm cultivator they were all in the core magical essence realm with the lowest person being at the first level of the core magical essence realm. Oliver was a realm lower than everyone in his group.
"Things couldn't get worst". Oliver said lightly with a soft breath he knew it was the handwork of Hall Master Leo because he observed and found that the power level of the other groups was not that far from each other, they were all in the same realm just level difference.
