Chapter 91: The Introduction Of The Teams

*Boom Boom Boom!* Fireworks exploded in the sky as four gigantic screens appeared outside the arena. Said arena was the same one Ken Hai took part in the prelims except it was filled to the brim with people and had highly extravagant decorations that'd put most Empires in centuries of debt.

Standing on a balcony was the crown prince Xuhuan Dao.

"Welcome one and all to the Great Black Turtle tournament! I am Prince Xuhuan Dao of the Illusory Dragon Empire." Said the prince with a smile on his face.

"For those of you seeing this projection of me from other rural areas, this is thanks to Republic of Neo Arcadia and their artifacts we're able to project this years Great Black Turtle Tournament to every major city in all countries."

Those sitting in the stands couldn't believe their ears. This tournament can be seen all over the continent?! Murmurs began to break out.

"Just what is this kingdom Neo Arcadia and what does the word Republic mean?"

"This Neo Arcadia must be formidable."

"Hahaha! It's not just every major city prince Xuhuan Dao but it's every town and even to most smallest of villages." Walked out was X dressed in high priest garbs.

"What?!" Even more murmurs began to break out.

"I spoke with my father and he approved of it. We then went around to every city lord and village chief and asked permission to set it up. My father wanted to make it a surprise, he told me even those from small towns and villages deserve to be able to witness the glory of these fine warriors, as most has never laid their eyes upon this fine Tournament." Explained X

"I see, your All father is a benevolent ruler indeed." He the turned to the crowd. "With that let the Reward Showing begin!"

His voice boom all throughout exciting this years crowd. They all knew it and those watching did as well this tournament was going to be a big one!

In his team's benching area Ken Hai had an eyebrow raised with a very confused expression on his. He approved X's decision to let the tournament be broadcasted as long as he was able to gain the permission from the other countries.

But it seemed he gained permission from not only every country by also every but most towns and villages! How his reploid son did it he had no idea.

But he understood other countries weren't like Neo Arcadia with a mountains and mountains of entertainment and lot's of people wouldn't be able to travel to to experience this so news would have to travel by word of mouth.

Across the continent the villagers sat around a gigantic screen, never in their lives have they could believe their eyes would be able to gaze upon this tournament.

"These rewards for the top five placers." The prince announced five servants walked out to show the five prizes.

"The prize for fifth place is the eight volume of the Heavenly Lightning Tiger tome." The servant removed the cloth showing a acient scroll with lightning crackling around it with the faint sounds of a tiger roaring.

The crowd roared, Ken Hai understood why, that tome was the final volume of a extremely powerful series of martial skills. Normally only the most powerful sects or kingdoms had the other seven volumes.

He knew them as well. They could enhance his normal attacks by 80% at full mastery. Though it's incredibly difficult to learn due to most not having sufficient qi control.

The next prizes also had even louder cheers from those watching. The next one was pair of seven star gauntlets. The next prizes was pair of Purple Obsidian Jade, it could be used as refinement materials for pills.

The next prize was a talisman that had the ability make barriers which could sustain attacks from a Martial Saint.

The final prize was a eight star Flaming Thunder sword. The blade was pure crimson with shinig sky blue runes running along the blade.

"Those are the prizes which the top five warriors will be receiving, let's now move on to introducing the fine cultivators particapting

Nothing too impressive but he's just here for the points and to test those kids.

He looked towards the Neo Arcadia stand which had a barrier around it.

"Ken Hai you are from Neo Arcadia?" Asked the Sakura haired beauty.

"Yes I'm a resident lady Yinghua." The ladies name was Yinqhua Meili. She's the daughter of Illusory Dragon Empire most powerful merchant.

Even the royal family has to treat them with proper respect unless they don't want their economy fucked.

"Why aren't fighting with your home country?" She asked simply curious.

"Well due to travelling all over with my little sister, I didn't get a chance to participate in the tournaments to represent my country and I was alreay in this country so I decided to represent here. Though I'm not really here for the prizes."

The the prince Xuhuan Lin asked. "If your not here for the prizes then why are you are here?"

"I'm just here for the fights."

'And to start my global take over.'

Soon one after the other they started introducing the other teams, who showed off their cultivation. It was nothing special at first but when they started showing Sects and clans from Neo Arcadia that's when things took a turn.

"F-from the Republic of Neo Arcadia, is the Tyrant sword sect!"

The line up was Si Lan, Si Kong, Si Kai, Si Jun and Si Ki.

Ken Hai wondered what happened to Si Men? But he didn't care enough.

Each of them came up one by one and showed their cultivation.

"A-all of four them is 10th of martial master!"

Everyone in he world wondered what was Neo Arcadia feeding the counties under it's rule!

Then Si Kong walked up and his qi burst alive!

"I am Si Kong eighteen years old!"

"8th of Martial Grandmaster!" Shouted the announcer! That was the largest gap they had seen in the tournaments so far!

Every other country wondered. Isn't martial masters supposed to be middle aged old men? Not youths!

And Si Kong where the hell is he getting resources!

It was safe to say this was just going to be a tournament against people from Neo Arcadia!

A few more names were called up, but the cultivation was disappointing in comparison.

Then the final place fighting for Neo Arcadia arrived.

"From the Republic of Neo Arcadia is the Lotus Academy High school division!*

Stepping out was Feng Dai, Chu Lao, Su Lin a White haired youth with a face mask on his lower face shaped like a demons mouth and a short dark haired girl with a mask that covers her lower face.

Everyone was stunned each of them were country had destroying looks, even the one in the masks they could tell were extremely attractive!

"I am Feng Dai, from Neo Arcadia's capital city Lotus!" He calmly revealed his cultivation!

"T-tenth of Martial Master!"

"I am Chu Lao from Neo Arcadia's capital city of Lotus!" Chu Lao smiled as he introduced himself!

"T-tenth of Martial Master!"

Su Lin bowed and smiled gracefully! "I am Su Lin from Neo Arcadia's capital city of Lotus."

"Tenth of Martial Master as well!"

"I am Lu Ken a samurai from Neo Arcadia's capital city of Lotus!*

It was the same.

"I am Hatake Rio a Kunoichi from Neo Arcadia's capital city Lotus!"

It was the same, this time the crowd. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry! So many placed bets against Neo Arcadia!

Sure it had amazing artifacts, but it was just some name nation!

So many people cried!

Ken Hai felt giddy, the amount of points he's gonna get from this is gonna be monumental!

"F-finally it's the 4th prince Xuhuan Jin's team." The announcer tried, he really tried to sound enthusiastic, but after Neo Arcadia's showing it was impossible.

"I am Jin Lianhu from the mountain spear sect here in the Illusory Dragon Empire." The large muscular youth introduced himself, his cultivation was 3rd of martial masters, normally he'd be counted as a genuis but today the Neo Arcadian's redefined the word.

Yinqhua Meili then went up. "I am Yinghua Meili I am from the Blooming sword sect." Her cultivation was 2nd of martial masters.

The next guy to go up Taijin Lang introduced himself and showed his cultivation to be fifth of martial masters.

The prince then went up. "I am the 4th Prince of the Illusory Dragon Empire Xuhuan Jin." He revealed his cultivation to be 10th of Martial Master.

"I am Ken Hai from Neo Arcadia, I'm currently fighting for the Illusory Dragon Empire." He released the cultivation.

"Neo Arcadia again!" Muttered Xuhuan Dao gritting his teeth.

On another side of then stadium in a VIP booth was the Head of the Alchemist Guild Fu Xiān, her eyes widened in shock as she felt Ken Hai's cultivation.

"Tenth of Martial Grandmaster!"

"With that let the lot drawings begin!"

The 50 teams drew lots were placed in different blocks such as the first to fifth block, there will be five battles a day until only a there are only 10 teams remaining where its no longer a team battle.

They're large cash prizes for the winners of the team fights.

Ken Hai was in the second block, the kids from Neo Arcadia are in the fourth and Tyrant sword sect in the first, while surprisingly Fa Ken is here as well he's in the third block.

Ken Hai, Fa Ken and Si Kong all eyed each other. He'd introduced the two to each other and all three had become sworn brothers!

"Man I can't wait to fight those guys!"
