The First Battle! (Chapter 2155)

  PS: Thank you to Gu Zhong Lao Xian, Shen Yun Yin, Sui Feng Qi Wu, Shen Zhi Yan, You Ye Xue He Xiang and other friends for their rewards. Thanks to every friend who supports the genuine version of West Melon. This chapter is a combined two-in-one big chapter, I've worked very hard on it, although there isn't a huge explosion, but they're all continuous updates or big chapters, just to make everyone enjoy reading more! By the way, asking for monthly votes! ~ Bowing, striving to explode again tomorrow!

  To determine the final ranking and the divided areas, it still depends on the draw. The draw is a matter of luck, and no one dares to guarantee that the opponent they draw will be weaker than themselves.

  Bad luck, drew Arthur in the first match, it's all over.

  At this time, both the Magic Academy and the Warrior Academy were in a state of disarray, with two camps that had a somewhat distinct flavor, looking like they didn't quite fit together.

  "They've come too!" Tang Ge's eyes lit up.

  Following Tong Ge's line of sight, Xia Ming saw that a few people had walked out from the camps of both the Magic Academy and the Warrior Academy. Three people came out from the Magic Academy side, while seven people came out from the Warrior Academy side. The leader was none other than Arthur, with his blond hair, looking majestic and extraordinary!

  As for the last person, it was Gottlieb, who was defeated by Xiaoming's magic last time. At this moment, Gottlieb's eyes were shining with a fierce light, and he also found Xiaoming, his face changed, and he stared at Xiaoming tightly, clenching his fists.

  Xia Ming shrugged his shoulders and seemed oblivious to Goethe's performance.

  "They were the top ten of the previous Magic Martial Arts Conference, and only three of them are from the Magic Academy. The rest are all from the Warrior Academy!" Tang Er explained.

  Xia Ming nodded, seeing Arthur and Tong Ge he had some speculation, Tong Ge's words confirmed his idea.

  Xia Ming carefully sized them up, and four of them caught his attention. Arthur was a given, and the other three were also quite extraordinary. At least from Xia Ming's perspective, he couldn't see through these people's strengths and weaknesses, which meant their abilities were at least on par with his own.

  One of them was a fierce-looking man, wearing a light armor that barely covered his body. His upper body muscles were almost entirely exposed and looked very sturdy. A head of long hair scattered down randomly, with a wild gaze in his eyes, which did not look at Xiaoming but focused on Su Weiwei's face.

  Su Weiwei is one of the most famous people in Warrior Academy, although she did not participate in the previous Magical Warrior Tournament, almost everyone has no doubt that if she participated, the top ten of the Magical Warrior Tournament must have her place.

  "Who is this man?" Xia Ming asked Tang Ge.

  "He's Casso, nicknamed the 'Golden Lion', who came in second last time. The one person who was only inferior to Arthur, I heard he has made great progress recently and plans to challenge Arthur..." Tang Ge said in a low voice.

  Kasuo Jinshi seems like a formidable opponent, Xiaoming remembered this man's name.

  After the golden lion Kaso, there was a magician wearing a yellow robe, who pulled his magic cloak and revealed a rather handsome face, which caused a burst of screams from many girls in the Magic Academy.

  The ear-piercing screams filled the entire venue, causing Xia Ming to wince in discomfort. This young magician was so well-received, it was clear he played a significant role at the Magic Academy, and Xia Ming had already guessed his identity.

  The first person of the Magic Academy, Murphy, who returned from traveling abroad, third place in the last Magic Martial Arts Conference!

  "Murphy's Law! Murphy's Law!"

  "Arthur! Arthur!"

  "Golden lion, golden lion!"

  The people on both sides of the Warrior Academy and Magic Academy have started their frantic cheering, the scene is thrilling, these students from last year's Magic Martial Arts Conference have all received heroic treatment.

  In the Canaan continent where strength is respected, those who possess strength and potential are the ones who can easily gain respect.

  "He's Murphy, the strongest of the previous batch at Magic Academy." Xiaoming thought to himself, and took a good look at Murphy. It seemed like Murphy had noticed something, and also looked up towards Xiaoming, their gazes intersecting in mid-air.

  Murphy gave a courteous smile and nodded in greeting, and Xiaoming returned the smile. After all, Xiaoming was also a well-known figure at the Magic Academy, and Murphy knew him too.

  "Mad Warrior Arthur, Golden Lion Kaso, Earth Controller Murphett, these three were the top three last time. Xiaoming, you'd better pay attention to them." Tang Ge shrugged his shoulders, knowing his friend's interest in the Magic Martial Arts Tournament's top three, and reminded him.

  "There are also 'Madman' Kidd and 'Dark Knight' Kaka, these two were also in the top five last season."

  Xia Ming heard this and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. Among the top five of the previous session, there was only one person from the Magic Academy, which was Murphy. No wonder people said that the Magic Academy was in decline, it seemed that it wasn't unreasonable.

  The top ten of the previous Mo Wu Conference all appeared, and the cheers were deafening. There were constant supporters shouting their names, with Arthur's supporters being the most numerous, including beautiful beauties, making Tang Ge both jealous and envious.

  What surprised Xia Ming was that Su Weiwei also had a lot of supporters, almost second only to Arthur. Many boys were shouting her name, and the scene was extremely lively. On the other hand, Su Weiwei looked calm and collected, as if all this had nothing to do with her. Her gaze was fixed on the hundred-meter-high Mirror Crystal in the distance.

  "Everyone, it's time for the draw! Please come over here!" A familiar voice rang out, and standing in the middle was an old man with a beard, but who was it if not Lan Ning?

  Lan Ning was holding a large box at this time, with faint sounds coming from inside. He smiled and said: "All participants who have arrived, come here to draw lots in order!"

  Xia Ming saw him again, and it seemed like he could see Lan Ning that old pervert everywhere.

  Lan Ning called out to all the contestants to draw lots, which was broadcast by Mirror Crystal. All the spectators watched with great interest, and there were at least 100,000 people here, but at this moment they were all silent, quietly watching, afraid of disturbing the contestants.

  Drawn by Arthur first.

  Arthur walked forward, reached into the box and felt around, pulling out a crystal card with the words "District 2, Number 15" written on it.

  "Arthur, you've drawn 2nd district, 15th number! That means you'll be in the 2nd area, and go on stage as the 15th one!" Lan Ning explained briefly. The Mirror Crystal instantly projected an image onto Arthur. On the screen of the Mirror Crystal, Arthur showed a faint smile, which again triggered his supporters to cheer loudly.

  Everyone felt this passion, and it is also where the charm of strong strength lies.

  "Arthur is in Group 2, God bless me, please don't let me draw Group 2, or I might still have a chance to make it to the top eight..." Tang Ge muttered to himself with a praying expression, which made Xia Ming chuckle.

  Eight war zones, the strongest of each war zone are the top eight of the Mo Wu Conference. Arthur has already been assigned to the second war zone, and almost everyone thinks he is the champion of that region, with hardly anyone doubting this.

  One after another went up to draw lots, and all the spectators' hearts were also lifted at once.

  Next is Kaso with the nickname 'Golden Lion', this muscular man drew 1st war zone, 24th.

  Murphy drew the 4th war zone and gave a elegant and confident smile.

  The top three winners of the previous session were drawn into different groups. It was a bit disappointing for the audience, and it seemed unlikely that strong teams would clash from the start.

  "It's our turn now, let's go and draw lots!" After the previous top ten had all finished drawing lots, it was finally Xiaming and his group's turn.

  Xia Ming walked up to Lan Ning, who was making faces at him, and grabbed a crystal card.

  No. 13, Section 1.

  Xia Ming shrugged indifferently, but heard a loud cheer from Tang Ge beside him: "Haha, I'm in District 7! Finally avoided those freaks!"

  "Vivian, which district are you from?" Xiaoming asked with some curiosity.

  Su Weiwei smiled, her jade hand waving the card in her hand. On it was written 8th district, 18th number. Tang Ge looked at it and became even more excited: "That's great, I'm not with either of you two, looks like I really do have a chance to get into the top eight!"

  "Uh, no, Xiaoming your number..." Tang Ge looked at the card in Xiaoming's hand and suddenly hesitated.

  "You and Huang Jin Shi Zi are in the same district! Both are number one!" Tang Ge suddenly shouted.

  Xia Ming smiled. He had discovered this a long time ago and didn't care; it was inevitable that they would meet eventually, so what difference did it make whether it was sooner or later?

  Relying on luck can only lead to temporary victories. Only true strength is the real way of kings!

  The crowd cast a sympathetic glance, and many people looked at Xiaoming with pity. He was in the same war zone as Huang Jinxiong, the second-place winner of the previous session, what a poor guy.

  This means that Xia Ming wants to stand out from the crowd and enter the top eight, he must defeat Huang Jin Shi Cao! The crowd obviously doesn't think highly of Xia Ming.

  It seemed to have heard the voice in the crowd, the golden lion's gaze swept over, like lightning, and glanced at Xiaoming for a moment. With a cold hum, he ignored Xiaoming again - For Golden Lion Kaso, there was only one person worth paying attention to in the Magic Academy, and that was Mophite!

  Xia Ming smiled and didn't bother to respond to Huang Jin Shi Zi's attitude, anyway as long as he was strong enough, the two would meet sooner or later.

  All participants have finished drawing lots.

  "Very well, I declare that this Martial Arts Conference is now officially underway!" Rog said with a smile on the high platform, and instantly the cheers reached their peak.

  Yes, the Magic Martial Arts Conference has finally begun!

  ……

  All the contestants were eager to try, one by one with a look of longing, and many warrior academies even maliciously thought about encountering a few weak magicians to bully them thoroughly.

  It was slightly beyond Xiaoming's expectations that the commentator for this competition was also Lan Ning, that old lecher. Lan Ning held a Sound Crystal in his hand and laughed as he stirred up the atmosphere: "To all the spectators, I have some good news to share with everyone. In order to liven up the atmosphere of the first match and also to let everyone feast their eyes, the previous champion of the Magic Warrior Tournament, Arthur, will be making an appearance!"

  Arthur!

  The crowd burst into a collective gasp of surprise, never expecting the opening of the Magic Martial Arts Conference to be ignited by Arthur. Although it was unknown who Arthur's opponent was, this was undoubtedly explosive news.

  The scene suddenly boiled over, making people involuntarily admire Arthur's influence. The first person of Cangyan Academy is not called in vain.

  Rog on the platform stroked his long white beard and smiled with emotion: "Youth is indeed good, these children are really spirited."

  "Yes, under Lord Rogge's command, Arthur is probably the best in Flame Academy." Next to him, someone immediately agreed. The speaker was dressed in noble attire, and on his clothes, there was a badge with a flame lion emblem, which was the royal crest of one of the four major kingdoms, Ailen Kingdom, indicating that this person was a member of the Ailen Kingdom's royal family.

  Rog's meaningful smile: "That's not necessarily the case, this year is different from previous years, I remember that someone's disciple is also a participant in this session, right?" Rog smiled and turned his gaze to Anthony.

  Rog and Anthony have always been close friends, otherwise. How could the back mountain of Cangyan Academy allow Anthony to live here?

  "Are the disciples under Anthony also participants?" Allen's imperial clan asked with a gleam in his eye.

  "Hey, that ignorant disciple of mine, let's not mention him, his strength is just barely passable, but compared to Arthur, it's far inferior!" Anthony smiled mysteriously. He exchanged a glance with Bluebeard beside him, and the two had a tacit understanding, both avoiding mentioning Xiaoming's name, keeping an air of mystery.

  ……

  Arthur's figure was projected onto the crystal mirror, Arthur smiled confidently and strode into the arena in the combat zone, his eyes fixed straight ahead: "Who is my opponent?"

  This sentence is a double-edged sword, revealing his arrogance and confidence, but he indeed has the capital to be arrogant. This is also his style of doing things, free and uninhibited. Although Arthur is considered one of the strongest opponents this time, Xiaoming doesn't dislike Arthur's actions, on the contrary, he appreciates them.

  Arthur's words caused another stir in the scene, and under everyone's watchful eyes, a warrior walked out with a bitter face. This guy was the unlucky one who had fought against Arthur in the first match of the Heavenly Number One.

  "It's Leo from Warrior Academy..."

  "What a pity for this guy."

  The scattered discussions and Tong's explanations made Xia Ming suddenly understand. It turned out that the guy who fought against Arthur was called Leo, and his strength was not weak either. He had a bit of a reputation in the Warrior Academy, and he originally had some hope to make a breakthrough, but unfortunately, he encountered Arthur in the first round.

  No one wants to be a stepping stone for others, but reality is just that cruel.

  Lei Ao was somewhat disheartened in his heart, but he also encouraged himself. After all, this was the first battle, and with so many people watching, losing too quickly would be a loss of face.

  "Arthur, senior, please." Leo stood up straight, finally showing some spirit. The aura burst out, and it turned out to be a top-notch master at the fifth level of the peak.

  Many people stopped cheering and turned serious. A fifth-level peak, this is not an ordinary opponent. In the previous Magic Warrior Conference, Lei Ou could even try to rush into the top ten, but now that he's up against Arthur, it can only be said that this guy is a jinx.

  Arthur nodded and made a gesture of invitation, without looking down on Leo, but also without overestimating him.

  "Both sides are ready, and Leo's astonishing fifth-level peak strength is also surprising. Can Leo pose a threat to Arthur? We'll have to wait and see!" Lanning, who was acting as the commentator, chattered on excitedly.

  Let's start!

  Brush.

  Lei Ou's eyes condensed, his legs pushed off the ground, and his body flashed out like a flying arrow. His fighting spirit contained a hint of wind element, which was rare but indeed present, indicating that he had touched the threshold of the sixth level.

  Lei Ao's figure flashed out quickly, and he rushed out as soon as Lan Ning's voice fell. He fully grasped this opportunity, because he also understood that this might be his only chance! Lei Ao was very confident in his speed, and as someone who cultivated wind-type Dou Qi, there were hardly a few people in the Warrior Academy who could compare with him in terms of speed.

  One fist flew out quickly, in the direction where Arthur was, and struck heavily, with a stern momentum.

  Arthur remained standing still, his expression unchanged, and slowly stretched out his palm.

  Bang!

  This punch was neither fast nor slow, and it just happened to be caught by Arthur's outstretched palm. The weight of a thousand pounds seemed to be as light as a feather in Arthur's hand.

  Lei Ao's eyes widened in shock, his full-force blow was caught so easily?

  The next second, Lei Ou looked at his own chest in disbelief. That was Arthur's counterattack, also a punch that blasted out. Only a muffled sound was heard, and Lei Ou's body flew backward, his fighting spirit almost completely scattered. He directly flew out of the arena, rolled several times, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

  The entire arena fell silent, and then erupted in a deafening roar of cheers, the shouting almost overturning the entire battlefield.

  "Arthur, Arthur, Warrior Academy, Warrior Academy!"

  Even a strong fifth-level peak like Lei Ou couldn't withstand Arthur's one blow. This was completely different from Xia Ming defeating Got with just one magic spell, after all, the power of a magician's spells is widely recognized as being greater than that of a warrior's destructive force. Defeating an opponent with just one magic spell may be astonishing, but it's not impossible, yet Arthur defeated the fifth-level peak Lei Ou with just one punch.

  The Magic Academy was silent on this side. Such a terrifying Arthur, it's simply invincible. Will this year be the same as last year?

  Arthur stood in the arena, like a divine sword unsheathed, with its sharp edge exposed.

  "Grandma's, this guy is really perverted." Tong Ge swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was also shocked by Arthur's punch.

  Xia Ming was very calm, after witnessing Arthur's strength, he not only didn't retreat, but instead a surge of hot blood rose up, as if all the blood in his body was about to boil.

  The stronger Arthur is, the more he can inspire his will to fight! He's not without any chance at all!

  The stunning opening match is over, and next are the matches in various war zones, at which time Xia Ming and others will also take the stage.

  "Let's each go to our own battlefield, it's about to start." Xia Ming said.

  Su Weiwei and Tang Ge both nodded, they were about to start their first battle and would go all out.

  Those distant eyes gazed at Xiaoming, Su Weiwei suddenly waved her fist at him and smiled: "Come on!"

  This moment's beauty left Xiaoming stunned, never expecting that the normally icy Su Weiwei would have such a cute side. Su Weiwei was now emitting an astonishing aura of beauty, and around her arose a chorus of gulps and swallowed saliva.

  "I will." Xia Ming replied seriously, ignoring Tang Ge's antics and eye signals beside him.

  ……

  Xia Ming arrived at the First War Zone, where it was still bustling with people and extremely lively.

  Especially with the existence of Golden Lion Kasso, the first war zone is also highly anticipated. After all, although not as strong as Arthur's momentum, Golden Lion Kasso is also a hot favorite to win this time.

  When Xiaoming arrived, the Golden Lion had already finished his match and his opponent had automatically forfeited. Kaso stood in the arena and let out a loud roar, his powerful stance also making more people remember him, an undefeated strongman who could make his opponents tremble with fear just by his reputation alone.

  Another powerful opponent, also Xiaoming's greatest opponent in the First War Zone.

  It's finally Xiaoming's turn. Xiaoming took a look at his opponent and infused a thread of magic into the crystal card, on which his opponent's number appeared.

  No. 35

  Xia Ming stood on the stage, waiting for his opponent.

  Xia Ming also has a lot of attention, mostly from some students at the Magic Academy, such as Tina, the hot-blooded girl who was helped by Xia Ming last time. She is one of Xia Ming's staunch supporters and shouted his name in the crowd.

  Xia Ming also saw many familiar figures, such as Luo Jia, and even his junior sister An Qi'er was among them. She waved at Xia Ming.

  Xia Ming rubbed his nose, although he couldn't compare with Arthur, but he still had a lot of supporters.

  "Hey, kid, you're my opponent, huh?" A deep and resonant voice rang out, the newcomer being a warrior with a somewhat rustic face, wearing leather armor, very sturdy, extremely sturdy, even more muscular than Kassos the Golden Lion's muscles, holding a giant axe that looked very intimidating.

  "Brute strength is flying!"

  Many people also exclaimed in surprise, recognizing Xia Ming's opponent.

  Xia Ming narrowed his eyes, it seems that the opponent is not an unknown person. Manbuli Fei, seems to have heard of him, ranked outside the top ten in the previous Magic Warrior Conference, but it's said that he has a barbarian bloodline, with incredible strength, and is also a promising opponent who can challenge the top ten.

  Xia Ming tightly grasped the Sacred Flame Scepter, ready to strike at any moment. It was time for these people watching the Magic Martial Arts Conference to recognize him as well. It wouldn't do for only Arthur and his friends to steal the show.

  To speak out for oneself.

  ……(。。)
