Chapter 1608: Chapter 503: Final Chapter

"You don’t need to worry about the ’Fog Hidden Pearl’ now, because there’s an even bigger matter waiting for you to decide on!" Avril’s eyes glistened brightly: "Do you remember that this year’s Gold Crown Tournament kicked off four days ago?"

"I’m a Shaman, I only need to remember the Olympic Sacrifice, the tournament fights for the warrior’s crown, haven’t I already said that Summer Palace Warriors are not allowed to participate?" Liu Zhenhuan furrowed his brow, his face darkened: "Which bastard didn’t listen to my orders?"

From Avril’s expression, Old Liu could see that someone in Witherspoon obviously disobeyed his command and secretly went to participate.

The annual Gold Crown Gladiator Competition in the Bimon Kingdom, aside from professional gladiators, also allows freemen to register, but the attention this event receives in the Bimon Kingdom can’t compare to the Olympic Sacrifice at all.

It’s not that they favor literature over martial arts, but in today’s Aegean Continent, most traditional beliefs hold that warriors cannot compare with elemental users.

There is an inherent difference in value, elemental users possess the capability to turn the tide of battle, something traditional warriors simply cannot achieve!

Human Sword Saints are currently the highest level of warriors on the Aegean Continent, but the current Sword Saints cannot compare in power to ancient Sword Saints like Aragon or Samuel! The secret technique of shooting finger glows that could split gold and crack stone performed by ancient Sword Saints has long been buried in the frost and wind of history. Modern Sword Saints use battle swords instead of their fingers to unleash sword glows.

Any warrior can imagine with closed eyes how spectacular and magnificent it was when ancient Sword Saints emitted ten dazzling sword glows using Dou Qi through their ten fingers!

Because of different teachings and Dou Qi, sword glows are also divided into numerous types, which are just as profound and complex as magic. For example, Gortani, who practices ’Silver Dawn Dou Qi,’ uses a single-target attack sword glow called ’Silver Dawn Crescent Slash.’ Meanwhile, Dragon Knight Lampard, who practices ’Nebula Dou Qi,’ has his highest level sword glow, ’South Cross Star Burst,’ a group attack sword glow that intersects six beams into a cross that explodes with immense power!

The realm of finger glow is the ability to instantly emit sword glows with Dou Qi. If Lampard had the technique to shoot ten sword glows with his ten fingers, just by splitting his hands, he could simultaneously unleash ten ’South Cross Star Bursts’ amidst the enemies, with an effect no less grand than the magic of a great archmage!

But this is mere wishful thinking!

Nowadays, let alone finding a top master who can shoot countless sword glows with ten fingers at once, it’s an impossible task even to find a Sword Saint capable of shooting a single beam with one finger!

Today’s Sword Saints, relying on their battle swords to unleash different types of Dou Qi sword glows, are like mages, needing time to muster enough Dou Qi. Even Master Henry, known as one of the four great Sword Saints of the Aegean under Mourinho, can only barely instantaneously use a few single-target sword glows with his battle sword, with very limited usage.

With Liu Zhenhuan as typical, the high-level warriors on the Aegean Continent are gradually turning towards magic and weapon integration. They either elevate themselves through magic tools, divine weapons, or steeds, like Dragon Knights Lampard and Gaxia, who may not have great inherent power but still manage to rule the land with their steeds.

Nowadays, true warriors who purely rely on martial techniques to traverse the world are not well-regarded.

Looking back to ancient times, even Rexa, a Shaman priest, could wield an axe in both hands to emit sharp axe glows that split opponents, a realm now a distant dream. Perhaps some unparalleled masters hide in deep mountains and forests, but in the current Aegean environment, unless someone can cultivate to the level of producing glow from their fingers, warriors’ status cannot rival elemental users.

So none of the upper echelon of the Bimon Kingdom, including Liu Zhenhuan, have any real sentiment for the Gold Crown Gladiator Tournament.

This final contest dominated by professional gladiators is brutal and bloody, with a casualty rate of nearly fifty percent. While freemen can register, how many freemen are willing to risk their lives against enslaved professional gladiators?

The Gold Crown Gladiator is the best way for all gladiators to escape slavery, granting them the honor of saluting nobles without removing their caps. Civilian warriors, compared to professional gladiators in this competition, inherently lack the motivation and bloodthirsty determination!

If a Summer Palace Warrior were to compete for this crown and win, others would surely think it’s only natural—Witherspoon’s militia, less than a hundred, are invincible when over a hundred! That’s a well-known saying in the Bimon.

But what if they lose?

Liu Zhenhuan couldn’t afford such disgrace!

"This year’s Gold Crown Tournament is being held in the Northeast Province, and Witherspoon City was the first main city to open a magic teleportation array to Witherspoon, so Summer Palace Warriors have secretly slipped over to watch the excitement. It’s understandable if someone got itchy and signed up for the competition," Avril revealed the name of the rogue: "It was your personal guard, Rodman."

"That damn brat!" Liu Zhenhuan cursed angrily: "Lock him up for a month!"
