Chapter 98: The Master of Destiny Competition
Elder Fei sat up straight: "When it comes to the Destiny Master Competition, we have to talk about the two great empires of the Destiny Continent. You also know that these two empires are the Empire of Destiny and the Empire of Luck."
"In fact, ten thousand years ago, there was only one empire in the Destiny Continent, and that was the Destiny Empire. The two major empires now are the result of the division of the Destiny Empire ten thousand years ago."
"As for the reason for the split, it is both cliché and melodramatic. It is nothing more than the pursuit of the lofty throne!"
"Ten thousand years ago, two outstanding princes appeared in the Destiny Empire. They were both qualified to ascend the throne. As the competition for the throne intensified, a war eventually broke out, leading to the division of the empire and forming the two major empires today."
When Mr. Fei was saying this, A Le was obviously absent-minded. He was not interested in these things and only wanted to know about the fortune teller competition. Lu Ming, on the other hand, was listening with great interest.
After traveling here, he had very little knowledge of the history of the entire continent, so he certainly had to listen carefully this time when he had the chance.
"The war that broke apart the country ten thousand years ago lasted for nearly a hundred years, and was only stopped when the monster beasts in the Demon Suppression Gorge broke out."
"But when suppressing the monsters, both sides discovered a fatal problem. The hundred years of war had consumed too much combat power, and humans were unable to suppress the monsters for a while."
“But both empires knew that they could not let the monsters get out of the Monster Suppression Gorge, otherwise humans would be extinct. So both sides put their last bit of resources together to stop the monsters from invading.”
"After this battle, the two empires also realized that they could not start a war easily before the threat of the monster beasts disappeared, so the Fate Master Competition was born."
"The Fortune Teller Contest is held every five years. Participants must be no older than 16 years old, and the stakes are five border cities!"
"Five cities?"
Lu Ming and A Le were shocked. They didn't expect the stakes of the fortune teller competition to be so high.
"That's right, so both empires attach great importance to the Fortune Teller Competition."
"The fortune teller competition is divided into three stages. The first stage is the principality audition. Each city in the principality will select three qualified fortune tellers to participate in the competition. In the end, the five strongest fortune tellers will be selected."
"Then comes the second stage, the Kingdom Elimination Tournament, where the fortune tellers from each principality will fight against each other to compete for the five places in the next stage."
"After the Kingdom Elimination Round is over, it will be the Empire Finals. This is the final battle within the Empire. The Empire will select the five strongest players in the finals to participate in the final Empire Battle!"
Lu Ming was somewhat excited after hearing this. This destiny master competition could be said to be a competition with masters of the same level in the entire Destiny Continent, which made him quite excited.
Who doesn’t want to be the best in the world!
Ale didn't care about this, he was concerned about another issue.
"For such a big competition, the rewards should be quite a lot."
Fei Jie knew A Le very well and knew what he cared about, so he chuckled.
"Of course there are a lot of rewards. As long as you can become the top five in the Principality Audition, each person will receive 300 million gold coins."
"300 million!" Ah Le's eyes lit up when he heard the number.
"Won't the rewards be greater after that?"
"Of course!" Fei Jie continued, stroking his beard.
"Once you win the Kingdom Elimination Tournament, you will receive a bonus of 500 million and 100 soul crystals."
Ah Le whispered softly: "100 soul crystals are worth at least 500 million. If I can make it to the Kingdom Knockout Round, I will be rich!"
Fei Jie shook his head: "This is nothing. If you can make it to the imperial finals, these gold coins and soul crystals will be nothing. You will get something more precious."
"What is it?" Ale asked curiously.
Lu Minghe waited for Fei Jie's answer with great interest.
"Mithril, Dragonwood, and Ethereal Grass"
When he heard these names, Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"Material for making the fortune teller's staff!"
He had already been tempted to participate in the Fortune Teller Competition, and now he made the decision immediately.
“You must attend!”
Ah Le also clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely participate in the Fortune Teller Competition. That's my reward, and no one can stop me!"
Seeing this, Fei Jie said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will write back to them. We accept this challenge."
"it is good."
Lu Ming and A Le agreed in unison.
"But I want to remind you that both of them are at a higher level than you. You must improve your strength as quickly as possible during this period of time, otherwise you will be the ones who lose!"
The two looked at each other and said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Fei, we will definitely win this challenge."
After confirming the life and death challenge in two months, Lu Ming and A Le left the courtyard the next day and entered the Miyun Canyon for training.
With their talents, two months is enough to achieve a realm advancement, but the other party is not standing still. They must make good use of every minute and every second to improve their strength.
The fourth level of the canyon.
The monsters here are all above level 27. For Ale, who is only level , the battle is a little difficult, but the advantage is that his life force is consumed faster.
In just half an hour, A Le had exhausted all his life force and practiced to recover on the spot, while Lu Ming guarded him around.
Not long after he started practicing, he heard a noise in the bushes in the distance.
Without Lu Ming's order, the three-eyed monkey rushed forward with an iron rod in hand.
"boom"
The iron rod smashed down with a force of thousands of pounds, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere.
However, the three-eyed monkey's attack seemed to have no effect and did not hit the enemy.
Just as it was wondering, a three-meter-long tail suddenly emerged from the ground behind it, with a purple barb at the tip.
"Swish"
The hook pierced the three-eyed monkey with an afterimage.
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "This monster is quite cunning!"
The three-eyed monkey became alert when it didn't find any trace of the enemy, and the evil wind brought by the hook attack was instantly captured by it.
It didn't look back, but swung the iron rod in its hand behind it for defense.
"bump"
The iron rod accurately blocked the attack of the hook. At the same time, the three-eyed monkey used the force to leap forward and create distance between himself and the enemy.
After reaching a safe distance, the three-eyed monkey immediately turned around and saw the appearance of the attacker.
At this time, the enemy was emerging from the ground. It was a pitch-black scorpion, about the size of a calf, but the stinger on the tail was quite distinctive.
"Long-tailed black scorpion"
The current Lu Mingzao is no longer the newbie he used to be. During this period of time, apart from fighting, he has been learning about various monsters through books.
This was the first time he encountered a long-tailed black scorpion, but he had seen it in a book before, so he recognized it at a glance.
Information about the long-tailed black scorpion immediately appeared in his mind.
"The long-tailed black scorpion is an earth-type monster. It has a signature 3-meter-long tail. It is extremely flexible and has a black armor that is difficult to be damaged by swords. The purple poison needle on its tail is highly toxic. It has a medium speed."
Seeing the enemy appear, the three-eyed monkey swung the iron rod and smashed it again.
"woo"
The iron rod smashed down with tremendous force.
Even if the long-tailed black scorpion's defense is strong, it will be turned into meat paste under this stick.
