[Chapter 1129-1130]

>Chapter 1129: Want To Kill Him?!<

//~~~//~~~//~~~[]~~~\\~~~\\~~~\\

"Okay, let the tournament begin."

Lu Ze and the others went back to their seats.

Lin Kuang went to the stage and said, "Okay, first match, Liu Yuxi versus Qiu De."

A black-haired man and a golden-haired man proceeded to the stage.

Lu Ze looked at them. They were both at the Peak of the Aperture Opening State.

The prodigies this time included Aperture Opening States, Mortal Evolution States, Planetary States, and Star States.

As for the Cosmic System States, they were the Medium-leveled Power in the Human Race. They couldn't just leave the Federation to study somewhere else.

After all, there were a lot of matters to settle in the Human Race.

There were 20 Aperture Opening States, 30 Mortal Evolution States, 30 Planetary States, and 20 Star States.

Mortal Evolution State and Planetary State prodigies were the most numerous because, during this time, the most talented ones were still at the Mortal Evolution State and Planetary State although the Human prodigies progressed very fast.

There weren't many people in the younger generation who reached the Star State.

The ones at Star State were much older than Luo Bingqing and the rest. Quite a lot of the Planetary State prodigies were older than they were too.

The two prodigies engaged in combat.

Due to Lu Ze's and the girls' phenomena, their Combat Power was quite excellent.

Their cultivation level was at the Peak Aperture Opening State, but their Combat Power already reached the Mortal Evolution State.

Liu Yuxi's [Fire God Art's Mastery] and Qiu De's [Body God Art's Mastery] were both quite nice.

The two clashed rapidly on the stage.

It was just the first battle, but it was already very intense.

Aperture Opening State Battles didn't last very long.

Half a minute later, Qiu De tanked some damage with his [Body God Art], punched Liu Yuxi away, and gained the victory. However, Qiu De's flesh was charred. He panted heavily.

Lin Kuang then announced, "Qiu De is the winner!"

Qiu De breathed easy.

This would allow him to get more resources.

Lu Ze waved his hand, and a Beam of Green Light went out. It split into two in the air. Accordingly, they entered the two bodies.

Their injuries were instantly healed.

The two smiled and bowed to Lu Ze. "Thank you, Monarch of the New Dawn!"

Lu Ze nodded. "You two did great. Keep working hard."

Both of them rejoiced. This was a praise from the Monarch of the New Dawn!

It was a special honor.

"Yes!" The two nodded excitedly.

Lin Kuang announced, "Alright, next two, Lin Xun and Li Yueyao."

…

The tournament continued.

They had to admit that the battle between prodigies was quite satisfying. Although the difference in Power was huge, it was still exciting.

Every prodigy had their own understanding of [God Art], martial arts, and combat techniques. These occasional sparks might even help Lu Ze and the girls.

This tournament was broadcasted throughout the entire Federation.

Almost everyone was watching it.

"This is too thrilling and fascinating!"

"I didn't expect that the cream of the crop among the prodigies in our Race is this strong."

"Yes, Mixia's Sword Will is so strong. Each sword seems to be tearing the Space apart. Kuba's [Wind God Art] is very powerful too. I can't see him at all, he's too fast!"

…

Most of the citizens of the Federation were Abstruse Martial States and below.

"However, although these prodigies are very strong, they are still a far cry from the Monarch of the New Dawn."

"… No shit? Who is the Monarch of the New Dawn? He's the pride of the Human Race! It's not even fair to these prodigies to be compared to him, alright?"

"…"

"That's right, the Monarch of the New Dawn is a Cosmic Cloud State now. He's one of the supporting pillars of the Human Race."

"I remember that a few years back, the Monarch of the New Dawn was still weak, and there was a broadcast. That seemed to be the first time he fought the Blade Demons, right? At that time, he already had the power to destroy an entire Blade Demon Base. I felt that the Monarch of the New Dawn wasn't simple back then."

"Yes, in just a few short years, the Monarch of the New Dawn has brought too much surprise to the Human Race."

…

The tournament progressed quickly.

With Lu Ze there, all the prodigies didn't even need a long time to recover. They would be instantly healed after their match.

Soon, the Star State matches commenced.

The Star States were mostly prodigies from the Shenwu Army. Their battles were much more exciting than the other levels.

Even Lu Ze and the girls felt more interested.

The audience was immersed in this.

...

A few hours later, the Star State battles ended too.

When the final battle finished, Lu Ze healed the two contestants and said, "The Prodigy Selection Tournament concludes here. You have all done well."

"Now, I will announce the rankings. Aperture Opening State, First Place, Li Yueyao, Second Place, Lin Xun…"

Lu Ze proceeded to announce the other rankings as well.

Lu Ze then remarked, "You can collect the rewards in Planet Jinyao afterward."

Thereafter, Lu Ze said, "Okay, the tournament is finished."

He was about to leave.

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded, "Umm… Lord Lu Ze, can you give me an autograph?

…

A beautiful girl was looking hopefully at him with a blushing face.

It was Li Yueyao.

Lu Ze's mouth twitched. This girl wanted to kill him?!

Just when Lu Ze was about to reject it, Qiuyue Hesha smiled. "Little Brother Lu Ze, your fan is asking for an autograph. Just give it."

Lu Li chimed in, "Yes, go."

Lu Ze was confused. However, their expression didn't seem to be fake.

Lu Ze nodded. "Okay, then I'll sign one."

Li Yueyao's face blushed.

At this moment, the other female prodigies couldn't hold it in. "Lord Lu Ze, please give me one too!"

"…"

>Chapter 1130: Elder Lin's Injury<

//~~~//~~~//~~~[]~~~\\~~~\\~~~\\

After giving all these prodigies autographs, Lu Ze felt very tired.

Derrick looked at Lu Ze with a complaint. "Why do these prodigies always go to Ze for autographs? Why does no one come to me? This doesn't make sense?!"

Especially those girls, they were so pretty.

Lu Ze smiled. "What else can I do? I'm handsome."

Everyone's mouth twitched.

Luo Bingqing smiled faintly. "Ze, when are we heading to the Elf Cosmic Realm?"

Hearing Luo Bingqing's words, everyone looked over.

Lu Ze thought for a while, smiled, and said, "I'll ask the Elders if they have anything else. If there's nothing, we'll leave as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded.

Daphne stretched and smiled. "Let's go to the Elders first then."

Everyone nodded.

...

They went to Planet Jinyao. It was already night.

Elder Nangong and Elder Lin were sitting in the open space, roasting fish.

Ying Ying and Lue Xi were squatting down and looking keenly at the three-meter-long fish.

Lu Ze and the girls appeared.

Nangong Jing sniffed. "Smells good! Elder, did you prepare our share?"

Elder Nangong rolled his eyes. "No, go get your own!"

Nangong Jing mumbled, "Fine, don't ask me for wine next time!"

She took out her pole and walked to the river.

Elder Lin looked up. "Is the tournament over?"

Lu Ze's mouth twitched. These two Elders didn't watch at all?

Luo Bingqing smiled faintly. "It's done."

Elder Lin nodded. "Well done, get some fish and we'll eat together."

Lin Kuang looked at Old Lin, eager to try. "Elders, are there any more matters left in the Race? If not, we'll head to the Elf Race soon."

He wanted to see how strong the Elf prodigies were.

The others were also looking forward to it.

Originally, they would be no match for the Elf Race prodigies, but their current situation was different. They had the [Orbs] and [God Art Runes] from Lu Ze.

Their trials at the Void Space helped them grow stronger and believe in themselves more.

Elder Lin glanced at him, and he said angrily, "What's the rush? You can't do big things like that. Look at Lin Ling, isn't she very calm?"

Lin Kuang: "???"

He turned around and saw Lin Ling casually fishing by the river.

The two of them couldn't compare at all.

With her cultivation level and combat power, how could she care about ordinary elf prodigies?

Even the Elf Princess would only be so-so, right?

Lin Kuang's heart ached. It was too hard being the big brother when his little sister was so strong. Even his grandpa was annoyed at him.

If only he was a little brother.

At this moment, Elder Nangong looked up and said, "The Star Barrier is gone. It's time to invite the East Region's Races to the Federation."

He looked at Lu Ze. "Ze, can you contact Predecessor Anton?"

Lu Ze nodded. "No problem."

Accordingly, they could get Uncle Anton to take them to the Elf Divine Realm.

Elder Nangong nodded. "Okay, then go after this gathering."

"Sure, Elder," everyone else replied.

"In that case, you can go first. The stuff here isn't for you!"

Elder Nangong shooed them off.

Everyone looked at Ying Ying and Lue Xi with envy. Thereafter, they came to fish as well.

Elder Nangong's roasting ability was definitely amazing. His skills had been refined after cooking for Ying Ying so many times.

Lu Ze and the girls had a filling meal. They were eating roast fish and drinking Golden Fruit Wine by the fire.

The atmosphere was great.

...

At this moment, Lin Ling thought of something and looked at Elder Lin. "By the way, Grandpa, there was something I always wanted to ask you. I didn't get the chance. Now, I want to ask you."

Everyone looked over curiously.

Elder Lin looked at Lin Ling with spoiling love. "What is it, Lin Ling?"

This was his most outstanding descendant! She grew up under his care too!

Elder Lin was very proud of her.

Lin Ling said, "A few months ago, we took a Crisp Green Blade mission…"

Lu Ze and the girls, who were originally puzzled, shook all their heads, widened their eyes, and ended up dazed. They realized what Lin Ling was going to ask.

That Tell Death Realm thrown by the Advanced Demon Race!

Lin Ling continued, "There was a group of Advanced Demon Race prodigies collaborating with us. Only then did we annihilate the Insectoid Hive."

"There was a Cosmic Cloud State from the Advanced Demon Race who used a trump card. The Energy from that was very similar to the Energy from your curse…"

Elder Lin's hand stiffened. His pale face seemed a little bleak.

Seeing this, Lu Ze and the girls realized that Elder Lin's injuries were probably related to the Advanced Demon Race.

Lin Kuang's eyes flashed with killing intent. His face was a bit stubborn, and he said, "Lin Ling, you're saying that our grandfather's curse was planted by the Advanced Demon Race?!"

His voice was shaky. His fury was about to spill.

In his impression, Elder Lin was always an amiable old man. He was cheeky when he was young, and his parents always beat him.

It was Elder Lin who protected him.

Plus, Elder Lin was a Saint. Although his power no longer existed, he still admired him greatly and wanted to guard the Human Race in his steps.

The atmosphere by the fire became very depressing.
