A week later.
A silver light trailed a long tail across the crisp sky of Kyoto.
And Lin Mo, who was diving into his cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes with all the anticipation in them.
“Has the Martial Union changeover finally begun?”
Early the next morning.
The whole of Kyoto was completely abuzz with excitement.
Countless people who were watching the battle converged towards the Martial Union’s martial arts arena.
They were walking and talking about each other with great anticipation.
Because of the change of the Martial Union.
The whole of Kyoto is on a three-day long holiday.
Taking advantage of this time, the people who were free naturally came to watch the battle.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of spectators had gathered outside the martial arts arena.
There was a sea of people, and there was a lot of noise between the loud discussions.
As time pa*sed, many participants arrived one after another.
As for the entire martial arts arena, layers of stands had been built during the preparatory stage.
From short to high, they were connected in order to ensure that all the spectators had a visual view of the event.
And that is precisely why.
Many people arrived early in the morning, just before dawn.
The aim was to get a good spot.
In the middle of the large martial arts arena, a ring, 100 metres wide and long, was placed.
During the preparatory stage, the Martial Arts League used a metre-thick diamond rock to reinforce the ring.
The ring was reinforced with one metre thick adamantine rock during the preparatory stage to allow the participants to fight.
Around the ring, rows of seats with names were neatly arranged between them, one metre apart.
Next to the seats, a rich a*sortment of fruit and snacks was prepared.
It was about midday.
All the spectators had almost taken their places.
“This time, I heard that this is the home of the younger generation of experts.”
“That’s not true, the old generation should have retired, so what’s the point of competing.”
“Eh, eh, brother, has the handicap struck?”
“Crap, get the hell out of my way, don’t you know that the Martial Arts League is cracking down on private bets.
Are you trying to get Laozi killed.”
Accompanied by a burst of chatter, the manic clamour of flowers suddenly rose up.
“Look, the contestants are here.”
The clamour of the whole field suddenly stopped as they looked between them from afar.
A line of silhouettes, their feet tapping, crossed the buildings several feet high and swept rapidly closer.
Soon, the contestants had arrived at the ring.
There were thousands of participants, from clans, regions, martial unions, military and war halls, and so on.
In short, they were all the top experts of the young generation from their respective forces.
The dashing north wind blew the branches.
It was also blowing these proud young men in their light clothing.
The young men had the ambition to be the best in the world.
In the audience, many people of their age were full of envy.
The glory of being in the limelight was a lifelong dream of theirs.
“When I was young, I also dreamed of being a member of the Martial Union when I was twenty-two years old.
Now I have finally accomplished half of it.”
“Half of what? Are you also going to participate in the next Martial Alliance?”
“No, I’m already twenty-three.”
“Cut it out, what are you pretending to be? Look at him, he’s a true young man, a dragon among men.”
“If I could have this achievement, even if I were single for the rest of my life, I would be willing to do it.”
And there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Plus youthfulness.
Before the competition had even started, the stares between the participants were already full of gunpowder.
It was at this moment.
The various Japanese powers also led a kind of back and came slowly.
Of course emissaries like the Elephant Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom and the Kumogakure Kingdom were watching.
They also made their appearance one after another under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators.
As for the final appearance, it was naturally Xuan Yuan Ming leading a group of Martial Union elders.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Martial Union members turned around and hissed in the same direction, saluting.
“Members of the Martial Union, welcome the elders, welcome the Grand Elder.”
