Chapter 371 Facing the Nations, Martial Arts Tournament [Fourth update] _1
Chu Yuan used his Eternal Seal to capture a group from Tianhong Sect and imprison them in the Sky Prison.
"It seems that my underestimation of these geniuses' appeal to their clans has been a mistake."
The initial purpose of Chu Yuan for founding the Dawu Academy was to allow all citizens to practice martial arts, select competent soldiers for the Imperial Dynasty, and enhance the strength of Dawu.
However, due to the emergence of the River of Humanity, Dawu brought forth a group of geniuses with special physiques.
These geniuses with unique physiques, he had to utilize them wisely.
"True God Sungu." Chu Yuan spoke.
"Your Highness, what are your commands?" True God Sungu replied respectfully.
"I intend to host a martial arts tournament. The Dawu Academy must prepare for an internal contest to select the powerful geniuses. This tournament will not only be held in Dawu, but it will also encompass the entire Chenchu Realm, the Sea Demon Realm, and even individuals from other realms will come to Dawu."
After witnessing the events of today, Chu Yuan decided to host a martial arts tournament as a tradition of Dawu.
"We will obey your command!" True God Sungu replied.
"Regarding the specific rules, I will inform you when I have made a decision."
Chu Yuan said.
He called Jin Chiyang and ordered: "Jin Chiyang, instruct the Bureau of Architecture to construct a top-tier martial arts venue on the size of a sacred ground. This venue will not only host a single tournament, but will also become a symbol of Dawu."
"Spread the word. Announce to the Chenchu Realm about Dawu's martial arts tournament. I will welcome nations and sects in the Imperial City to compete with the talents of Dawu." Experience new stories on empire
Chu Yuan began to prepare.
The battle in the Sea Demon Realm was about establishing Dawu's might and grounding its stance.
The martial arts tournament is a battle to make a name, a battle to instill pride in its citizens.
Rules were initially established.
Junior competition, Intermediate competition, and Grand competition corresponded to Dawu's Elementary Academy, Junior Class, Intermediate Class, and Senior Class.
Those under twenty years old would enter the Grand competition of the Junior Class, those from twenty to fifty years old would enter the Grand competition of the Intermediate Class, and those from fifty to one hundred years old would enter the Grand competition of the Senior Class.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The victor of each Grand competition could obtain many Divine Elixirs and King Grade Divine Artifacts.
The rewards were very generous; when the news spread, the whole Chenchu Realm was boiling. What was Dawu trying to do? After the battle in the Sea Demon Realm, they planned to host a martial arts tournament.
Different powers started guessing.
"Dawu is hosting a martial arts tournament and inviting different nations and sects from the Chenchu Realm, as well as the Sea Demon Realm, to gather for a fight in Dawu. Are they considering themselves the sovereign of both realms?"
"Should we attend this tournament? Should we give them face?"
"Talents represent the future of the dynasty. If we don't participate, won't it give others an opportunity to speak ill of us? They'll say we dared not fight them in a real battle, and we even didn't dare to compete with them in martial arts. Wouldn't this boost their morale and kill ours?"
"Since Dawu wants to compete, let's compete with them!"
"Winning is ideal, but even if we lose, it should serve as an inspiration."
The martial arts tournament faced the geniuses of various nations, and it was a competition among the geniuses. Different nations reacted one after another, indicating that they would arrive at Dawu as agreed.
On the side of the Sea Demon Realm, seven sects from the ten nations also sent representatives to participate.
Recently, Dawu used the powerful beings from the Sea Demon Realm for military training, which angered them greatly. This time was a good opportunity to send out a group of geniuses to undermine Dawu's prestige.
Both realms were buzzing with the news of the martial arts tournament, and some forces close to the two realms also indicated that they would come to Dawu.
People who understood clearly knew that the reason so many forces responded was not only for the rewards, but they also wanted to see how powerful Dawu's geniuses were and examine the strength of this newly arisen yet extremely dominant dynasty.
The Grand Competition would take place in two months, and all the forces were preparing for it.
The Tianhong Sect was not in the Chenchu Realm, but in the Tianhong Realm.
The Sect Master was a Celestial God named Sky Rainbow, an entity of the Celestial Realm.
The brilliant colorful light and ensuant weather fluctuations made the spiritual energy of the Tianhong Sect's entrance extremely dense, boiling like a stew. It was situated atop an Emperor Grade Divine Vein and was a rare heaven of luck and happiness.
"Hahaha... This Dawu is actually hosting a martial arts tournament and inviting all the nations to participate. A force without a Celestial God, what kind of formidable geniuses can they cultivate? I think they are not even qualified to serve us!"
A group of disciples from Tianhong Sect gathered together and acted arrogantly. They also heard about the martial arts tournament and showed contempt.
Indeed, having a Celestial God in the sect meant that they were superior, and the resources they received were incomparable to six-star forces. They looked down upon the nations of the Chenchu Realm as if they were rural areas.
"Even a few random disciples of our Tianhong Sect can defeat them to the point they piss themselves and scramble to pick up their teeth from the ground!"
"Boring, truly boring. What formidable characters can a competition among six-star forces produce?"
"I heard that the sect is convening an Elder Council to select talents to participate in this martial arts tournament."
"Why would our sect be interested in Dawu's martial arts tournament?"
"I heard that Elder Gu Lin went to Dawu and was captured by them. The sect was indignant and planned to use this martial arts tournament to give a hard blow to Dawu's face."
"How dare they!"
Everyone was incredulous upon hearing the news. It was too audacious for Dawu to capture an elder from the Celestial God sect and then boldly host a martial arts tournament.
"After three days, there will be a sect competition among those under one hundred years old, divided into three tiers: under twenty years old, fifty years old, and one hundred years old!"
Suddenly a voice of a Sect Elder was heard.
"Hmph! It seems that the elders have decided on a strategy. Fine, we'll go to Dawu to participate in the Grand Competition and see how formidable Dawu's talents are. It would be best to thoroughly suppress them on the ground and step on their faces!"
"Yes, let's prepare to stand out from the sect first!"
"I really can't wait to step on Dawu's face!"
These disciples from Tianhong Sect were aware that their sect was going to participate, and they all displayed an impatient and excited expression. After all, Dawu's recent high-profile was noticed by some sects and dynasties outside the Chenchu Realm.
Everyone wanted to observe them.
Now, not only Tianhong Sect, but many forces were also boiling due to Dawu and were preparing for the Grand Competition in two months.
To them, Dawu was a mysterious kingdom.
Within Dawu.
The selection for the Grand Competition was also being held excitedly.
In each age group, ten people were selected, meaning, from all people under one hundred years in the entire nation, thirty people were selected to participate in this inter-nation Grand Competition.
There were also rewards for the national competition.
It started from the Six-Realm Academy. Each realm independently selected the best thirty people and then sent them to Dawu to participate in the final selection.
These talents from minor academies knew that Dawu was going to host a martial arts tournament, and everyone was filled with enthusiasm, pacing restlessly. Everyone knew that this was an opportunity to change their destiny. If they stood out from the crowd, they would immediately catch the eye of the Emperor.
Who didn't want to catch the Emperor's eye?
This was the first martial arts tournament. It might not be the largest, but it was the most important one.
Because this martial arts tournament was personally presided over by the Emperor, who would descend onto the tournament field to watch them bring glory to the nation by defeating the geniuses of other forces in an overwhelming manner.
And their renowned names would also be etched on the annals of Dawu's history!
