Fade was stunned. Then, he looked at Ashwin's back and figured out why he had appeared here.
It seemed that this was not a coincidence. Ashwin had appeared because Masie said something about what happened in the forest.
At the thought of all this and the somewhat unruly girl, Fade's mouth revealed a smile. He said faintly, "It turns out that you are not that unreasonable!"
At this moment, Talmon and Natalia came forward with concern.
"Fade, are you alright?"
"You were not hurt, right?"
Fade shook his head with a smile and said, "Master, I'm fine!"
After the group of people left, the south gate once again regained its calm. However, the news of what happened there quickly spread throughout the entire South Van City.
The City Contest would be held the day after. Such a great battle had happened, causing various great powers, including the mayor, to take action. It was extremely eye-catching.
Naturally, there were more discussions about Fade.
Some people had already selected him as the top candidate to win the City Contest.
Some casinos were extremely astute. They immediately adjusted the top ten favorite candidates to win the championship. Fade was ranked amongst the top ten.
For a moment, Fade's name had become a hot topic in South Van City. Everyone, from civilians to the various great powers, were discussing him. At this moment, Fade, together with Natalia, came to South Van Academy. They found a training room and rested. They tried to adjust their state before the tournament.
The night passed. The next day, it was the day of the City Contest.
The entire South Van City bustled with noise. Martial artists in the city gathered at the square in the middle of the city early in the morning.
It was the venue of the tournament.
In the center of the square was a specially set up arena that was surrounded by a circle of spectator stands.
At first glance, it looked like a simple gymnasium.
The innermost circle near the ring was vacant, which was reserved for the participating forces.
The outer circle was for the ordinary citizens of South Van City.
Some seats were pre-sold as early as a year ago, and now that it was nearing the tournament, the price of the seats had risen by more than ten times. It could be said that it was very high in demand, and it demonstrated the passion South Van City had for the City Contest.
At ten o'clock in the morning, different forces arrived one after another and entered the empty seats in the inner circle.
The surrounding audience looked at these forces and became very excited. They began to talk about it while pointing fingers. "Look, that's the Gu family. Quite a number of them have arrived!"
"Those are the competitors from the Gu family. They are Alyx, Uzair, and Beatrice."
"The Loh family also has strong candidates. Arian and Subhan are also here."
"Those are the students of South Van Academy's Martial Arts School, right? The one at the front is Tyreece, right?"
"What about Fade? Does anyone recognize him? Is he here?"
"Haha, why should we care? He's just a nobody."
"No way, the casinos have included Fade in the list of top ten popular candidates. He's not just a nobody!"
"Are you a fool? It's obvious that the casinos
are deliberately following the trend and forcibly listed him to be one of the top ten hot contestants. Only a fool like you would believe it!"
"I think that Fade might be able to create a miracle."
Amidst the hot discussion, Fade, Evelyne and Natalia came out together.
Evelyne and Natalia walked towards South Van Academy's camp, because Evelyne was a Martial Arts School student. As such, she had come to participate in the City Contest.
Fade walked to the seat of the Gu family on the other side. This time, he represented the Gu family to participate in the competition.
With his arrival, everyone from the Gu family looked over.
Among them, Fade knew Deniz, Lingo, and the others. They looked unfriendly. There were also a few young martial artists who looked at Fade from head to toe with arrogance. They appeared to be the contestants of the Gu family.
Fade completely ignored these gazes and went straight to Yarrow and Talmon.
After all the big powers had arrived, it was time for the big shots of South Yan City to appear.
With a whoosh, a stream of light pierced the sky.
A phantom quickly flew over and landed on the arena.
In an instant, a chorus of exclamations and discussions rang out.
"That's Meza Huang. It seems that his strength has increased again this year!"
Then, a huge golden sword soared into the sky. Under everyone's astonished gaze, the huge sword descended from the sky. With a whoosh, it landed in the arena. Light bloomed and slowly dissipated. Finally, a smiling figure appeared.
"That... That is the head of the Gu family, Devin."
"Was that Devin's Remote Golden Sword Yuan Seal just now? It's so powerful!"
"It is indeed the great Gu family. His strength Is so powerful!"
Devin waved to the onlookers with a smile on his face.
However, at this moment, with a loud sound, a mountain peak fell from the sky and a shadow struck. It was as if the sky had collapsed, causing a great amount of fear.
The mountain peak appeared above the arena and burst open with a bang. A middle-aged man dressed in a bright yellow robe appeared in the
arena.
"It's Ezekiel Loh, the head of the Loh family!"
"It is indeed the great Loh family. They are worthy to be the Gu family's opponent!"
Devin glared at Ezekiel, who had stolen his limelight, and snorted. Then, he left and walked back to the Gu family's base.
Ezekiel chuckled and returned to the Loh family's base.
Then, the principal and vice dean of South Yan Academy, Maheen and Eshaan, appeared one after another.
Finally, with a bang, a giant sun rose in the air, blazing with dazzling light and rose to the center of the arena. The giant sun shone.
A burly figure landed from the giant sun. He looked majestic and had an impressive aura.
Instantly, the noisy scene quietened down. Everyone could not help but hold their breaths and look at the comer.
Only when the figure walked to the main seat in the center and sat down did the silence break.
"It's the mayor!"
"It's Mr. Goo!"
"He's too powerful. Is this the aura of a Fetus Refine Realm's venerable master? It's too shocking."
Ashwin looked around and said loudly, "Since everyone is here, let the City Contest begin!" As soon as he finished his words, the scene became noisy.
Of course, there were also some voices of discussion.
"Aren't there any more big shots coming to this year's tournament?"
"Compared to the past years, it is much weaker!"
"This year, only Mr. Goo, the Fetus Refine Realm's venerable master, Mr. Loh, Mr. Gu, Mr. Yim, and Mr. Lu are here. It's less than half of the previous year's!"
"Are you all confused? The strange
relic is about to open. Many of the venerable masters in South Yan City have gone to the relic in advance to wait. The number of people participating in the City Contest would naturally be fewer than the previous years." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Now that you've mentioned it, I just remembered."
"There should be a lot of treasures when the relic is opened. If I can get my hands on one or two of them, then..."
"Stop dreaming. The strange relic is a place where even the venerable masters need to be careful. We are just ordinary people. Don't even think about it."
"That's right, let's just watch the tournament. In the City Contest, it's all about the performance of the young people. It doesn't have much impact no matter how many big shots come to the tournament."
"That's true!"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
With Ashwin's order, the City Contest officially began.
It was the preliminary stages of the martial arts tournament. The rules were very simple. The contestants would be in a one-on-one duel from drawing lots. The winner would advance, and the loser would be
eliminated. In the end, ten
contestants would advance into the
finals. Content belongs to

After three days of rest, the final round would begin.
Soon, the results of the draw were out, and the opponents of each contestant came out.
Perhaps someone had deliberately arranged it, or perhaps it was a coincidence that none of the top-ranked popular contestants met in the front.
The tournament began and each contestant stepped onto the stage to compete.
The well-known contestants among them were naturally the focus of attention. Their strength was indeed not ordinary. They could defeat their opponents within three moves and would easily win.
In the end, the Loh family's Arian and Subhan, South Van Academy's Tyreece and Evelyne, the Gu family's Alyx, Uzair, and Beatrice, and the daughter of the mayor, Masie Goo, were popular contestants who had easily qualified.
Then, it was Fade's turn.
As a contestant of the Gu family, he was included in the top ten list of participants to win the championship by the casino. Furthermore, what happened at the city gate the day before had placed him in the center of attention.
Many people focused on him.
Some casinos even set up gambling games on the periphery and asked the audience to make bets.
Under everyone's attention, Fade stepped onto the ring.
In the first round, his opponent was a man at Stage 6 of the Soul Refine Realm. His Yuan Seal was a vicious beast Yuan Seal known as the Violent
Wild Wolf. Its attack was ferocious and sharp.
However, it was nothing for Fade who had just improved his strength.
Without much effort, after Fade had
et
exchanged a few moves with the other party and understood his strength, he activated his positive energy and used a long, scarlet
sword to easily smash the Violent Wild Wolf Yuan Seal and win the match. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
As soon as he won the match, many people at the scene began to talk about it.
"He is indeed worthy of being someone whom the Gu family has taken a fancy to. His strength is indeed not ordinary!"
"It's too early to tell! It's just the first round and his opponent was too weak to be worth mentioning."
"Did you guys bet? I won 500 yuan stones. Quickly place your bets!"
In the Gu family's base, Talmon and Yarrow smiled when they saw this.
Yarrow raised his arms and shouted, "Fade, good job."
However, Deniz and the others looked at him with strange gazes.
The three contestants, Alyx, Uzair, and Beatrice, also glanced at Fade, but there was disdain and arrogance in their eyes.
The tournament continued. The second round began. The popular contestants still did not meet each other, and then they all easily advanced.
It was Fade's turn again to step onto the ring.
In front of him stood a thin, dark-skinned young man.
When the man saw Fade on the ring, his eyes were cold and even filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fade Chen, you will lose this
time!"
