Chapter 670: Chapter 670: The Mysterious Person’s Challenge

Dragon Maiden noticed that Isabella across from them kept glancing over at Fang Bai, mistaking that this doll-like beauty might have some special feelings for Fang Bai. Thus, she kept talking to Fang Bai to attract his attention and prevent the two from exchanging meaningful looks. At the same time, she was declaring her presence to Isabella.

Her little tricks, of course, could not escape Fang Bai, who had been through two lifetimes and countless years.

Fang Bai found it amusing but didn’t reveal anything. While chatting with Dragon Maiden, his gaze was not idle either. He scanned the members of the various meta-human organizations seated around the venue and simultaneously released his Divine Sense to gauge their strengths and weaknesses.

After sweeping his Divine Sense across the several hundred people present, Fang Bai had a general understanding of their strengths. Apart from the leaders of the seven major meta-human organizations, the others were not a concern.

The leaders of the seven major meta-human organizations possessed inherent abilities, cultivated ancient secret techniques, or were physically strong or skilled in combat techniques. Each of their strengths could contend with the Heaven Level Experts of Huaxia’s Ancient Martial World and should not be underestimated.

Being strong meant having keen senses. When Fang Bai probed the leaders of the seven meta-human organizations with his Divine Sense, they all felt as if they were being surreptitiously observed. Each become highly alert, their eyes sharp as they scanned their surroundings.

Fang Bai withdrew his Divine Sense, his expression serene as he sat upright. Nobody would suspect that this seemingly harmless Huaxia youngster was the one who had just explored the strengths of the several hundred people present with his Divine Sense, achieving a thorough understanding of his potential adversaries.

This year’s tournament had the highest participation of meta-human organizations ever, with five to six dozen minor ones taking part, aside from the seven major ones like Dragon Guard. However, these smaller organizations only sent two or three members to compete.

According to the tournament rules, these dozens of meta-human organizations would draw lots for matchups in advance. The top three teams that emerged victorious would then join Dragon Guard and the other six major organizations in another drawing to face off in pairs.

For instance, if Dragon Guard were paired with Statue of Liberty, each side would send out five members for a showdown. If three members from Dragon Guard won, they would advance to the next round, while Statue of Liberty would be eliminated.

The leaders of the various meta-human organizations could personally fight, but they were only allowed one match per round. Therefore, unless it was a critical moment, the leaders would not participate.

The tournament lasted three days. The first day’s events consisted of drawing lots for the matchups between the teams, excluding those from the seven major meta-human organizations.

After the drawing of lots and selection of opponents, the teams officially commenced battle within the venue.

Due to the venue’s ample space and the high number of participating teams, the matches were carried out simultaneously in five areas within the venue.

The team members locked in these showdowns had strengths equivalent to or below that of Earth Level Martial Artists from Huaxia’s Ancient Martial World. Their thrilling and vigorous fights won the spirited applause from many in the venue.

Fang Bai, though not particularly interested in battles of this level, watched attentively from beginning to end, getting a sense of the various Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, inherited secret techniques, ancient magic, and inherent meta-human abilities from around the world.

As it was a contest, injuries and even serious wounds were inevitable. However, the tournament strictly prohibited intentionally killing opponents, or else the perpetrator’s qualification would be revoked. Hence, although there were many injuries in previous tournaments, there had never been a death incident.

At the end of the first day, three teams successfully advanced to the next round, ready to vie for the championship with the seven major meta-human organizations like Dragon Guard.

These three teams had emerged distinctly strong, not to be underestimated. Still, compared to Dragon Guard and the other six major organizations, they lacked a bit of depth. Therefore, the ultimate champion was expected to come from among the seven majors.

After the first day’s matches ended, night fell, and each participating team was taken back to their hotels by shuttles arranged by Statue of Liberty officials.

Once back at the hotel, Fang Bai and the others washed up. Then they went out for dinner at a nearby restaurant, and afterward, Fang Bai announced a free evening for everyone, but warned them not to return too late. They had a big fight the next day, and it was important to rest and recuperate.

"You go along with Long Da and play together; in case anything happens, at least you can look out for each other!"

Fang Bai said to Dragon Maiden and Yang Xudong.

"And what about you? Aren’t you coming with us?"

Dragon Maiden had intended to bring Xiao Yu and Fang Bai along, but hearing Fang Bai say this, and recalling how he had almost not returned the previous night, she couldn’t help but grow curious.

Fang Bai said solemnly, "I have some important business to attend to... very important."

"Is there any danger? How about... I go with you?"

Seeing the serious expression on Fang Bai’s face, Dragon Maiden couldn’t help but worry for him.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "If there really were danger, having you there wouldn’t help much either!"

Dragon Maiden thought about it and realized her concern was somewhat needless. With Instructor Fang’s strength, what was there to worry about?

If Instructor Fang couldn’t handle a situation, then even if she joined forces with Long Da, Long Er, and the others, they likely wouldn’t be of much help either.

After watching Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and the others leave, Fang Bai then turned and disappeared into the twinkling lights.

That night, leaders of the five major meta-human organizations from different regions: Europa ’Holy Temple’ leader Sardin, Russian Federation ’Blizzard’ leader Ivanov, North Africa ’Pharaoh’ leader Dear, South America ’Temple’ leader Ekquwa, and India ’Brahma’ leader Gaya Luo, who were staying in different hotels, all received a challenge from a mysterious individual.

The mysterious individual appeared before each of the five leaders with a different appearance and engaged in a great battle with each of them, choosing the deserts outside Las Vegas as the battleground.

As for the process and the outcome of the battles, only the mysterious individual and the five leaders of the meta-human organizations knew.

The next morning, when the five leaders of the meta-human organizations appeared in the "Light of Freedom" venue, those perceptive could notice a different kind of solemnity on their faces, as if burdened with deep concerns. It was not until the drawing of lots commenced to determine today’s opponents that they returned to their normal demeanors.

The ten leaders of the meta-human organizations walked from different directions to the center of the empty field to draw lots.

For the leaders of the meta-human organizations, the outcome of the draw was crucial because no one wanted to face a strong opponent too early, as that could lead to an early elimination, which would be quite embarrassing.

Each of the ten drew a lot and then revealed it publicly. The name of the meta-human organization that was written on the lot would be the opponent of the drawer’s team.

The results of the draw naturally brought joy to some and dismay to others.

Fang Bai couldn’t help but laugh when he saw who his opponent was. It turned out to be one of the three meta-human organizations that advanced yesterday. When the time came, simply sending a few people to compete should sweep the opponent aside.
