Chapter 24:- The Secret (V) - The last day of the competition would always become a topic that people would talk about for years to come.
_
"I'm working on it," I told her, but try as I might, I couldn't come up with a thing.
Jess was already ahead of me, though."we've got a certain hold of the suspect aura right here, yucho,"she said,"what does that suggest to you?"
"Nothing in particular. What does it suggest to you?"
"Oh, yucho, have your brain gone to sleep?"
"Don't be coy, Jess. Out of it,"
"We need to find those killers, don't we? I think a trace of aura would probably take care of it, don't you?"
"Jess, that's brilliant! Get to it."
"I could probably use a little bit of help from you, yucho."
"You'll get it, Jess."
"Oh!"
"I think we should go one step ahead of the city Lord's surveillance?" [Under his nose could probably do it.]
"No. I'll use the moment to my advantage,"
"Have fun." She told me then she started walking away around the top of the wall to the side that face the arena.
_
"What?"Jess was utterly confused.
Drew on the other hand upon finding the source of the aura generating was_
"How could a newly Earth domain warrior be around the place of event between master domain warriors. He's also from the same village. This can't be coincidence."
__
And on this day, the fighting was often accompanied with the enormous conflicts of interest and profits, and earth-shaking gambles would often happen.
Copper mines, commercial streets, treasures and even bizarre martial skills could become the stakes of the five villages.
Just one martial competition, the True champion competition, could lead to one village gaining the most extravagant riches, and could also reduce a family's savings to nothing. 'The last day of the competition would become a topic that people would talk about for years to come.
This day, the masters from different families would expose their true capabilities, showing rare martial skills. Also in the intense fighting, different secret treasures might also show up.
Most warriors who came from the outside were also here for the last day of the True champion competition.
From the fight on the last day of the martial competition, they could find out the difference between them and the warriors of the five villages. Through watching the fierce battles, they could understand their own inadequacies and find ways to improve their standard and capabilities.
And they might even be able to raise their own strength through the battles from the True champion competition.
This is why the True champion competition attracted so many people!
Lucian stood on the stone tower serially, condescendingly looking down upon the arenas and the many warriors who came to participate.
Two hundred meters on the tower of Choram village. Their stood a sketchy man, maybe, pretending to be, beside Choram village head. Staring deeply at Lucian.
That's Drew.
_
Two beautiful figures stood side-by-side behind Choram village head. Together they were looking over all of the arenas.
Looma wore a white dress, her hair flying in the wind. On the tall tower, her beautiful posture made her look like a fairy on the mainland.
Haidee was in a crisom armor, her hot body was visible underneath the coverage of that armor made her figure look very seductive. Only her eyes looked troubled.
From two hundred meters away, Lucian slightly raised his head and shot a glance of the two peak level nine vischaunt girls.
"Kid, these four days you better carefully watch. You lack experience, so you need to watch how the others fight; don't just mess around."as Brighten stone village head caught him staring at the two girls on the Choram village stone tower,he snorted as he became displeased,"women are everywhere, and with your potential, you can get any women you want in the future. Don't get distracted before you become strong!"
"Yes, I know what I'm doing." Lucian nodded.
"How are the participants doing?"Ba yucho who stood near the staircase entrance of the stone tower asked suddenly,as he calmly walked next to the village head.
_
"What? How can it be, Ba yucho?, acquainted with the boy?. "I'll use the situation to my advantage...." I shouldn't have trust him that easily...." Jess's heart skipped a beat and her eyes flashed with a strange unknown expression. After quite a while he finally shook her head and went toward Brighten stone village stone tower.
_
A melodious and soothing music came from the Central division stone tower.
The heart-warming sound of nature immediately rang throughout every corner of the battlefield. A snow-white clad skin girl sat crossed legged on the stone tower of the Central division, absorbed in playing the zither.
Quinn has never used her power this way, she only used it in combat which does not meant the requirement for fighting.
Many warriors who came to the competition, were attracted by this ethereal music, and their expression was full of fascination as they looked at the Central division stone tower.
Next to the girl who was the City Lord, his expression full of pride, and the corner of his lips showed a trace of disdain for all living things. He stood there and accepted the admiring and envious gazes from the many warriors.
Then at this moment.
The City Lord suddenly flew from the tall tower, his magnificent figure magically floated on the sky above the battlefield, like a God looking down on all of human beings.
He shouted,"The True champion competition, officially started!"
"Flying sword! A secret treasure!"
With an awed expression, many warriors screamed out one by one as they were shocked by the capabilities shown by the City Lord with the flying sword.
_
Fa Grovater didn't even fling as he kept staring at the snow-white clad skin girl and muttered sorrowfully"My Adele, My daughter, just endure for the moment I will fully avenge you."
Cleavon who was beside him shared out of his sorrow as he listened to his mournful words.
Dozen of warriors of various domain were competing vigorously in different arenas. Stream of bizarre light exploded on the field one after another,as if magical snakes were shuttling about the competition field.
The participants were performing all sorts of rare martial skills, and some even startled the people from the major force.
In the building of the Brighten stone village. Standing next to the village head, Lucian's eyes were glinting as he watched those warriors fighting one by one. Since he already won four matches against four peak level nine vischaunt domain warriors. He tried to stay focused but his vitality and energy has all been drained.
As the village head was standing beside him and explaining everything he asked to him.
As long as Lucian showed some interest in one competition area, the village head would soon elaborate on the strength of the two parties, there martial skills level, there competing strategies, and also teaching him the best way to win the fight.
Four out of the eleven participants didn't make it to top thirty-two.
The village head continue to illustrating, the situation on the competition field, explaining the various martial skills, their advantages and disadvantages, the opponent's weaknesses, and how to beat them.....
As the village head rarely talk on a normal day, but today he almost never stop talking.
Some ministers who came back from other cities, and those experts from their family branch, were all observing the stone building quietly. As they saw the village head paying attention most to the purple haired boy,they were very confused.
[First, his appearance with Domini
Secondly, his hair color which gave him a different feeling from the others.
Now the village head talking non stop as if he is talking to his long lost brother.]
"Old Tan, who's that lad? Why is he treated specially?" Tan ku who'd observed them for a long while, and finally couldn't help but asked.
Well he got "idk." as the answer.
_
Jess changed her mindset and thought she picked up the wrong aura,as she observed Lucian keep getting paler every second he spent here and no one seemed to be concerned about it as if it was a normal thing. That still take away her suspicion of something bigger happening here.
Even Drew, the city Lord advisor's was down and move disappointedly towards the Central division stone tower to report to the city magistrate.
However, Jess didn't give up and decided to trail Lucian back to where he lives.
Along the way Lucian move sluggishly and staggered most step he took, at that point,he collapsed on the road.
Jess was about to help when a black cloaked figure suddenly got hold of Lucian's body and dashed away.
Jess arrived at the scene to trail his aura, it has completely vanished, untraceable.
Ba yucho who had noticed Jess unusual and strange movement couldn't help but trail after her,he was also shocked at the swift appearance of the black cloaked figure.
Everything isn't hiding as the City magistrate already sent two spies to follow the aura Drew has picked up. They quickly move back to the court and report back to her.
"This game just became interesting, Swift criminals, tomorrow.... there is always tomorrow....."
Jess turned and saw Ba yucho behind her.....
