Chapter 69: Second Round of the Competition! Six Arts!
Yuehai blinked her eyes, suppressing the frustration inside her. After all, the Duke was His Highness, the current Empress’s consort. While she knew that the Duke’s invitation to the nobility would bring many dignitaries, she hadn’t expected such a figure to be invited.
Or perhaps she had sneaked in secretly? Otherwise, why be so cautious?
Forget it, whether these things have anything to do with her or not, now she has two main concerns. One is the recommended book from Avalon, and the other is the conspiracy of the Milik Kingdom. Even if Cyril is harmed, she doesn’t care, but if it affects her, it wouldn’t be worth it.
As a provider for herself, coming here was also for this matter. If chaos broke out in the Duke’s mansion, Tyr could still escape with Yuehai. In terms of strength, Tyr was much stronger than Yuehai at the moment, so it was worth taking a gamble. As for the Oracle’s Book and such, that was not something she could concern herself with. Secondly, she could also participate in the competition with the mindset of nothing to lose, to see if she could achieve a ranking. After all, apart from admission through the recommendation book from Avalon, there was also admission through conventional exams. Although the treatment was vastly different between the two, it was still a step towards success!
Shaking her head to clear her mind of these complicated thoughts, she turned to the restaurant and said.
“Boss, two cups of Decayed Heaven Flower juice, please!”
“Sure thing!”
As the singing faded, the Heavenly Heart Songstress gracefully withdrew amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd. The two emcees immediately stepped forward, without hesitation, and spoke.
“So, next up is the thrilling second round of the competition! From among these over a thousand little angels, we will select one hundred. That’s right, there are only one hundred seats available for this round, and many of you have probably already guessed the topic of the competition. Can anyone loudly tell me what it is?” The male host turned the microphone towards the audience, and immediately a deafening roar, like waves crashing, surged towards the stage.
“Six Arts!!!”
“That’s right! It’s the Six Arts!” The female host clapped her hands, her expression also becoming excited as she continued.
“Hey, Charles, who created these Six Arts, and why are they called the Six Arts?”
The male emcee known as Charles chuckled somewhat arrogantly and replied.
“Siva, even though you’re a warrior, you shouldn’t be ignorant of these common knowledge. Since you’re begging me like this, I’ll let myself, Charles the Grand Magician, explain the origin of the six arts to you.” With that, Siva’s face twisted into a look of disdain, and the audience burst into laughter at her scornful expression.
“Cough cough, hold it tighter, don’t laugh,” Charles pretended to cough.
“The six arts are: Crystal Shield Art, Speed Boost Art, Healing Art, Strength Boost Art, Detoxification Art, and Attribute Basic Spells. Some may ask, isn’t Healing Art a light attribute magic? How can it be one of the basic six arts? In fact, there are three types of Healing Art. The first type is the basic spell of light attribute. The second type was invented by the progenitor of the six arts, Lord Gakajes. It doesn’t require affinity with light elements; as long as there is magic power in the body, it can be cast, making it an extremely convenient healing magic. The last type is the unique magic of Healing Art. It’s amazing. It will gradually become stronger as the magician’s own magic power increases. Well, I don’t need to say much. Some may have already guessed it. Yes, one of the current Nine Heaven Saints, the miraculous one who can bring others back from the dead, is endowed with this unique magic, the [Miracle sacred King]!”
The audience immediately exclaimed in admiration. To bring someone back from the dead, what an incredible ability! Even gods couldn’t resurrect the dead, but the [Miracle sacred King] could, hence why he was called the living miracle by the world!
“All right, we’ve procrastinated enough here. Otherwise, the supervisor might start sneaking chicken legs into my lunchbox,” Charles said with a turn of phrase, eliciting laughter from the audience once again.
“Now, let’s invite the protagonists of the second round onto the stage.”
Immediately, the two hosts stepped back, and then a hundred beautiful magicians walked out from the stage.
“Let’s start with these hundred magicians.
Nicholas stated solemnly, with a piece of paper on her table containing the rules for the second round. After all, she was just a warrior; she didn’t have such a great memory to remember all the rules, so she had to rely on a paper to get by.
“Well, the rules are very simple. We, the five judges, will take turns selecting ten magicians to inspect the six arts. Three of them will be chosen, and the rest will be eliminated directly. The remaining contestants will proceed to the second part of the second round.”
“Well, this way we won’t directly eliminate two equally talented geniuses, so it’s indeed a feasible rule,” even the experienced Simira said so. The other judges naturally didn’t object. Although some of them were rising stars, they weren’t arrogant enough to challenge the older generation of warrior magicians.
