766 Gathering In the Capital Of Hope.


    After dering the result, Shi Lang exited the secret realm and locked himself in a forge. He was going to refine an artifact for Amelia. While he was working his ass off, the rest of the world was going crazy. The final round of the assessment was finished, and the results were all out. The world saw a rise of the dark horses. Some experts had predicted that many new talents would rise to fame in this tournament. However, some people still lived a life gilded with arrogance and were pped in their faces. These newly famous experts consisted of both individuals and also of forces. Many forces had taken the world by storm. One of these forces was Asura Hall. None of the people knew anything about this force other than the fact a few people among their ranks managed to erase an entire family of experts to the ground, and another thing was that the expert who led that team was not participating in the assessment. The people tried to look for people of the Asura Hall again, but they were stunned again by the emergence of another such organization in the southern provinces. The people knew nothing about this group, but they were a big talk in the Immortal Lord realm cultivators, and the leader at their helm was a woman. The contestants were told to gather in the Hope Capital City. The capital city was a ce where all the major human experts lived. More importantly, the headquarters of the Martial Council was located in this city.


    This was one of the reasons why all the experts were asked to gather in the capital. The upper echelons could protect the young talents if any demonic cultivator tried to attack them. The history of the Centurion tournament was written in blood. Not only the blood shed by thepetitors but also the attacks from the demonic cultivators. If the humans were fighting them and killing them, these people also sought out ways to enter the closed circle and then cause destruction. Tian Long had also seen his fair share of attacks in the tournament''s final stages in the past three centuries. Every time, the Martial Council would impose new ways to defend, and this time, they had devised an optimal strategy to defend the young talents. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    People from all over the human territory wereing inside the Hope Capital. They were not the participants but viewers. The martial council had ordered the opening of only four out of eight city gates. Guard the ce under the direct supervision of the Immortal Emperors. If any demonic cultivators managed to enter the ce, the guarding Immortal Emperors would be in as a punishment. This regtion was imposed to ensure that the Immortal Emperors did their jobs nicely. Martial Council had also invited a few legendary beasts to the final battles. It was said that this was an attempt to ease the tension between both species. So, everyone was focused on the final rounds, and the popce was excitedly bustling. ...


    Shi Lang finished his time inside the forging room, and after a few days, he came out with a small box in his hand. He found the young attendant standing outside, who said, "Young Master, thankfully you are out. Everyone has already left for the Hope Capital. If you do not report to the city''s northern gates within two days, you will not be allowed topete in the final round." The Terran was surprised, but then he nodded and said, "I understand. Can you tell me if the Pavilion Master is home?" The young man shook his head and said, "No, young master, I have no idea where he is." Shi Lang thought for a bit and nodded before he said, "Fine, then I shall get going." The terran quickly waved his hand and appeared outside Forging City. He checked his spiritualmunicator and found many messages. The people were informing him about where they were. Shi Lang thought for a bit and asked Yao Jiming about the directions. After the initial shock, Yao Jiming told him the directions, and Shi Lang took out Raksha. The sword spirit waszy and asked, "Why are you bothering my sleep?" The Terran said, "Two days to reach the capital, or we will be disqualified. Also, we must find a way to travel seventy thousand miles to the city." Raksha opened her eyes wide and asked, "Seventy thousand miles? Where the hell are we going?" Shi Lang told her that Hope City was located in the southern direction and the center of the human territory. The sword spirit thought about something and suddenly asked, "You want me to carry you to a distance that far?" Shi Lang gulped, took out a chunk of Emeris, and said, "This is mypensation. You know that if anyone else saw this, it would be bloodshed. Please help me, Raksha." His sword spirit had a strong bond with him, but she was not a normal spirit either. Her consciousness was akin to having a human being, and she had a humane temper, too. He could not go about her and ask her to act like a mundane spirit. Raksha took a deep breath and said, "Fine, but do not make a habit out of this." Shi Lang nodded and handed her the chunk of Emeris. The sword spirit withdrew herself inside the de, and then Shi Lang jumped on the side of the de. Raksha shoots off into the void. They moved quickly, and Shi Lang used his void portals to shorten the distance. Void portals were a blessing to the cultivators after they ascended to the level of an Immortal King. They did notprehend thews of space dao. Thus, the range of the void portal would only take them to a certain distance. The distance would depend on the strength of the person. Shi Lang was strong enough to open the portal a hundred miles away. But if he opened ten portals, his body would exhaust all the spiritual energy. That''s why he asked Raksha to give him a ride. The sword moved through the void at a quick speed, and it created a wind pocket before the two of them. The terran spent the timeprehending thews of lightning dao. He stiffened the muscles of his body to maintain a proper bnce and posture as he rode the sword. Raksha had crossed five thousand miles in one day, and she did so without stopping. She was a heavenly spiritual artifact and could easily extract spiritual energy from the world. She understood that Shi Lang wasprehending, and thus, she stopped moving. The Terran was making a breakthrough to the peak realm of the Immortal King realm. The sword spirit created an intent field around her quickly. She wanted to stop the people from approaching the two of them and create a stir for Shi Lang. The breakthroughsted six hours, and as soon as the aura stopped, Raksha shot off into the distance after retreating her intent. Her speed was quick, and she said, "You seem to be having a good time riding me." Shi Lang opened his eyes and replied, "Do not talk like that. The readers might get the wrong idea." The sword trembled and almost dropped down to the ground at this. Shi Lang said, "Raksha, how do you think Amelia will react?" Raksha replied, "I wonder if she would p your ugly face and break it to pieces." Shi Lang smiled. He did not mind her banter. They reached the vicinity of the Hope Capital. The terran jumped off the de and stored her inside the space ring. He waved his hand and opened a few void portals. He appeared before the city gates and yelled, "Excuse me, I amte for reporting for the final round. Can you let me through?" The people turned around and looked at him with confused gazes. One middle-aged man yelled, "Young man if you are here to participate, then I am the judge." Many peopleughed, and Shi Lang said, "Do not mind me being rude then." His body shed with red lightning, and he vanished from the spot. He appeared below the gate and stopped before the city guard. His speed was quicker than almost all of the people. They were all shocked and did not even catch a hint of his shadow. Shi Lang looked at the guard and said, "Sir, can you sign me up?" He revealed a jade token to the guard, who nodded indifferently. Shi Lang realized that the people from the Hope Capital must be used to all this. Soon, the registration wasplete, and the guard let Shi Lang inside and said, "You are allocated to the fourth arena. Please follow the markings on the streets to locate the arena." Shi Lang thanked the guy and quickly rushed in. What he did not know was that while he was rushing through the city, a silhouette catch sight of him, and the person smiled, while saying, "I wonder how you will react when you see me." Please vote with power stones and golden tickets. Thank you for your love and support.
