Chapter 696: Ranked Battle

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Ranked Battle

No matter how you slice it, this time, the ’Blackstone Empire’ has truly made a name for itself!

Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, Kase Dragonsmith.

Any one of these three would stand out among their peers in the Great Turdo Dynasty.

And yet, all three of them come from a small empire under the Great Turdo Dynasty’s sway.

To this, any sane person would indeed be shocked.

Some have even started to wonder:

Could it be that the Blackstone Empire has been blessed by a divine being?

Meanwhile, all the young talents of Blackstone Empire in the audience, their faces flushed with excitement beyond Wyatt, are all extremely worked up.

At this moment, they feel proud to be part of the Blackstone Empire.

They never imagined that their hometown, the Blackstone Empire, would earn such honor on the vast ’stage’ of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

It was simply beyond their wildest dreams.

At this moment, they can’t help but look at Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, and Kase Dragonsmith with admiration in their eyes.

It is because of these three that their Blackstone Empire has gained such glory.

"Prince Yakim, your Blackstone Empire is going to shake the entire Great Turdo Dynasty this time...soon, the Blackstone Empire may become the most powerful empire under the Great Turdo Dynasty!"

Valiant Charlesworth laughed to Prince Yakim by his side.

Vice Chairman Charlesworth is too kind," Prince Yakim replied modestly.

However, in the depths of Prince Yakim’s eyes, there was an unmistakable gleam of excitement.

As the prince of the Blackstone Empire, he was not the emperor himself, but his status surpassed that of an emperor.

In a sense, he could be considered the guardian deity of the Blackstone Empire.

"Another three-product spirit weapon! How could these people from the Blackstone Empire possess a three-product spirit weapon?"

In the exclusive viewing area of the Great Turdo Dynasty royal family, the emperor frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Truth be told, even he himself did not possess a three-product spirit weapon.

Although the royal family of the Great Turdo Dynasty did possess a three-product spirit weapon, it was in the hands of his ’Great Imperial Uncle’.

"How could a mere warrior of the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm from a puny empire possess a three-product spirit weapon?"

’White He’, the second prince, had a greedy look in his eyes.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many people present, he might have rushed forward to snatch the three-product spirit blade from Kase Dragonsmith’s hand and claim it as his own.

"Young Master Blade...a three-product spirit blade? It seems he has also had some extraordinary encounters."

Marshall Tyler revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes and murmured, "It makes sense. If he hadn’t experienced anything extraordinary, he wouldn’t be here today, let alone competing with many young talents of the Great Turdo Dynasty."

Marshall Tyler was sure of this.

As one of the erstwhile five great young masters, Marshall Tyler knew better than anyone else the true situation of ’Young Master Blade’, who was also one of the five great young masters.

"Marshall Tyler, do you know him?"

Marshall Tyler’s mumblings did not miss falling into the ears of an elderly man dressed in black sitting next to him.

"Yes, Master."

Marshall Tyler nodded reverently, and then began to explain Kase Dragonsmith’s background in detail.

The man in the black robe nodded his head in understanding, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, "So it seems that the three-product spirit blade in his hand either was picked up in some relic, or was given to him by someone else... the latter is more likely."

"Exactly."

Marshall Tyler fully agreed with his master’s guess.

If the three-product spirit blade was something Kase Dragonsmith picked up from some relic, it could only prove that Kase Dragonsmith was lucky. However, it couldn’t possibly result in his current strong cultivation base and skills.

Having confirmed this, although the man in the black robe coveted the three-product spirit blade in Kase Dragonsmith’s hand, he dare not harbor thoughts of taking it by force.

What a joke!

Behind Kase Dragonsmith, there was likely a powerful figure who could casually gift a three-product spirit weapon.

That such a figure was undeniably strong.

Would he risk provoking such a powerful figure to snatch the three-product spirit blade?

He knew he didn’t have the courage to do so.

At this moment, just like Winnie Romero’s appearance earlier, the ’Three-product Spirit Blade’ in Kase Dragonsmith’s hand, without a doubt, became the center of attention for all those present.

Only when Kase Dragonsmith put away his spirit blade did the surrounding fiery gazes shift elsewhere.

Phew!

Enjoying the surrounding gazes full of respect, Kase Dragonsmith flew back to the viewing area where the members of the Blackstone Empire were. He stood in mid-air, by Walter Simmons’ side.

Following that, the second round of selection continued.

At this moment, since two warriors of the Eighth-order Enter Void Realm had died, the remaining Eighth-order warriors were only Winnie Romero and Walter Simmons.

The remaining nine, including Kase Dragonsmith, were all practitioners of the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm.

However, by now no one would dare to underestimate Kase Dragonsmith just because he was a warrior from the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm.

At the very least, the other eight talented young men of the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm, despite not daring to challenge Winnie Romero and Walter Simmons, did not dare to challenge Kase Dragonsmith either.

Kase Dragonsmith, although he was only at the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm level, his combat abilities were so extraordinary that he could even defeat a warrior from the Eighth-order Enter Void Realm, which made the remaining eight talented young men from the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm both respect and fear him.

"Out of the ten spots for participating in the ’Decadynastical Combat Meet’, other than the ones occupied by six young warriors of the Ninth-order Enter Void Realm... The remaining four spots, out of which three spots will be taken by Winnie Romero, Walter Simmons, and Kase Dragonsmith. Does anyone else have any objections?"

After the skirmishes between the warriors of the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm, the old man presiding over the ’Kingdom Martial Comparison’ asked the question.

Of course, the question was meant for the other eight young masters from the Seventh-order Enter Void Realm excluding Kase Dragonsmith.

"No objections."

"No objections."

...

Immediately, the eight gifted youths all expressed that they had no objections.

They knew their own abilities.

Perhaps, among these eight, there could be some competition.

But if they brought Winnie Romero, Walter Simmons, and Kase Dragonsmith into the mix, it would be absolute foolishness. They’d be better off admitting defeat now to save some time.

Otherwise, once Winnie and the other two stepped into the ring and challenged them, they would have to admit defeat anyway.

It was clear that the veteran presiding over today’s ’Dynasty Martial Competition’ harbored the same thoughts.

"In that case, it will be up to you eight to decide who gets the final spot," the elder continued.

"You’re really lucky... If it weren’t for the sudden death of four gifted youths at Level Eight of the Void Realm today, you wouldn’t have this opportunity."

The eight young men found themselves agreeing with the elder’s words.

Indeed.

If it weren’t for the death of those four skilled youths at Level Eight of the Void Realm, they wouldn’t stand a chance at securing a spot in the ’Ten Kingdoms Martial Meet’.

Sometimes, luck really matters.

"Additionally," the elder continued, "whichever among you eight ends up clinching a spot does not simply earn an entry into the ’Ten Kingdoms Martial Meet’. No matter if he finishes last today in the ’Dynasty Martial Competition’, he will also receive a reward from the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty."

Rewards from the Imperial Family?

For a moment, the breaths of the eight talented Seventh Order Void Realm youthful experts grew rapid.

Next, the eight young experts began to contest fiercely.

Time quietly passed.

The final outcome was that a young man clad in blue, who had attained the ’Seventh Spear Realm’, earned the chance to participate in the ’Ten Kingdoms Martial Meet’.

This blue-clad young man was no representative of any faction from the Great Turdo Dynasty. He came from another empire and his name was Nathan Clark.

"If you have no intention of competing in the ranking battle, you may resign now... In return, you will receive a reward from the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty, a hundred low-grade original stones."

One of the elders took the lead in speaking to Nathan Clark.

A hundred low-grade original stones?

Upon hearing these words, Nathan Clark’s breathing began to accelerate.

For a gifted and talented youth from an empire under the Great Turdo Dynasty, an original stone was something legendary, something beyond reach.

And he would be given one now?

"A hundred low-grade original stones!" Suddenly, many in the arena grew envious.

Especially those from various empires, notably the seven talented youths at Seventh-Order of the Void Realm who had just been eliminated. Their eyes reddened.

Just a bit more...

Just that little bit more and it could have been one of them who stayed in the contest.

A hundred low-grade original stones might not seem like much to the top echelons of the Great Turdo Dynasty. But to the people of the large empires, it was precious, essentially invaluable.

"I give up my chance to compete in the ranking battle."

Nathan Clark spoke to the elder without any hesitation.

He was aware of his own abilities.

Regardless of his choice, he was destined to come in last today.

Forget about the six talented youths at the Ninth-Order of the Void Realm, he was no match for the other three either.

"Hmm."

Another elder nodded. With a wave of his hand, a Storage Ring shot out, heading straight for Nathan Clark. "This is your reward."

"Thank you, elder."

Nathan Clark thanked the elder after receiving the Storage Ring. He then returned to the middle-tier spectator seating area where his group was located.

The audience area immediately became lively.

Today, his performance in the ’Dynasty Martial Competition’ might not be on par with the Black Stone Empire’s, but it was more than enough to make their mark and be proud among the thirty-six empires present.

"The three of you, do you wish to challenge the six gifted Ninth-Order Void Realm youths? If you don’t, then you three will directly proceed to the ranking battles for the seventh, eighth, and ninth places, and receive different rewards from the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty."

In the arena, the old man’s gaze left Winnie Romero and fell on Walter Simmons and Kase Dragonsmith, who were standing together.

"No challenge."

Winnie Romero shook her head first.

"I won’t challenge either."

Walter Simmons also shook his head.

"Same here."

Kase Dragonsmith said.

"Good."

The old man nodded, "Now, the ranking competition between the three of you- the seventh, eighth, and ninth places - will begin... Miss Winnie, why don’t you go first?"

By the end, the old man looked at Winnie Romero, "Who would you like to challenge?"

Winnie Romero flew out, like a ball of flame, and in the blink of an eye, she was in mid-air over the arena.

Her gaze landed immediately on Kase Dragonsmith, "I challenge him! The ’Dragon Cloud’ from the Black Stone Empire!"

Immediately, the two old men looked at Kase Dragonsmith together.

And so did most of the people around the arena. Once again, Kase Dragonsmith had become the focal point of everyone’s attention.
