Chapter 108: The Beginning of the Spiritual Tournament

Time had passed, and it was finally time for the Spiritual Tournament to begin!

At this point, all of the participants had already arrived in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom, along with tens of thousands of other people who were going to watch the tournament.

After all, this was an event that was still one of the most critical events in this part of the Central Continent. And despite happening every ten years, which was not much in the Spiritual World, it still received the attention of thousands of people.

Obviously, this was a farewell occasion for some who took a 'winning ticket,' going on a high-level journey in the Flaming Empire.

But it was also an event that revealed the future Spiritual Kings of this region, who could unbalance the situation for one power or another.

And not only that, although almost all participants are already members or subordinates of large families, there were still those young people without any support who showed up here, opening doors for these large families to gain even more members.

The Spiritual Tournament was highly anticipated for all this, even for people who have lived for a long time, having seen many editions of this competition!

...

And while the sun was rising over the Central City skyline, with many people already strolling the big city streets, Minos and Ruth were in the hotel room that the beautiful young woman had previously booked.

If someone entered their room at this point, they would see the magnificent scene of the two reaching their climax. At the same time, Ruth gently trembled her sweaty body, and Minos had a smile on his face as he released his load into the young woman's hole.

The two, as usual, had 'woken up on the right foot,' starting the day in the best possible way.

When they finished their activity, Minos and Ruth went to the bathroom so they could be ready quickly. They could not delay, as they used to do.

Today the Spiritual Tournament would be starting, so they had to leave the hotel early and head towards the south side of the city, where the first part of the competition would be held.

The Spiritual Tournament was divided into four parts. The first was the most straightforward and quickest, the physical test. And as the name says, this test determined the characteristics of the competitors' bodies, such as age, level, talent, and the degree of their Physique.

As for the latter, there was no way for the test to tell the competitor's innate ability. It was just the rating that their physique received.

As for why there was this test, it was because, in the Spiritual World, people could keep their youth for a long time.

Consider the case of Ruth, at the age of 18, she was already at level 46, and it would not be long before she reached the Spiritual King stage. When that happened, she would keep her youth for at least the next 500 years!

What's more, she would only age in the last 400 years of her life expectancy!

Of course, with her Silver talent, Ruth would not stop at just the Spiritual King stage. As long as she had time, she would go up to much higher levels!

Anyway, due to this factor, the only way to find out someone's age was through physical testing, which measured the person's bone age.

As for the second test, this was about survival in the jungle for a week. The competitors were taken to a small forest, where there would be spiritual beasts from the 4th and 5th stages of cultivation, who would be their enemies in this test.

And in addition to surviving for a week in that place, the participants still had to kill three spiritual beasts of the 4th stage, at least, to pass this stage.

In the third test, this was the official start of the fights. The competitors would be divided into 64 large groups of the same size at this stage. They would participate in big matches in a Battle Royale format!

And finally, the 64 winners of the third event would qualify for the last phase of the Spiritual Tournament. In this fourth test, the remaining participants would compete for the best places in the competition through individual fights in a key system.

The 64 final participants were randomly selected to 32 fights, continuing until the last and the third-place dispute.

And those were all the stages in the tournament. As for the rules, the tournament's organization did not allow murders in the last two tests. As for survival in the forest, if any competitor died, perhaps in an 'accidental' way, that would not be the responsibility of the Spiritual Tournament.

Other than that, there were no other restrictions.

And as for the individuals who could be chosen to enter one of the Flaming Empire sects, this depended both on each participant's position and performance.

However, only those who reached the 4th event had a chance to go to one of these forces. For the top 3 in the final tournament ranking, these would undoubtedly be selected, and they could even choose the sect they wanted to go to!

...

So, some time passed, and Minos and Ruth were almost arriving at the place of the first test.

This was the Capital City Spiritual Academy, the main teaching center for young people from noble families in the Cromwell Kingdom.

This place had been chosen due to the large area and favorable structure for this first test. Since this was just a test of physical aptitude, it was not open to the public who were not participating in the competition.

After all, this was just a confirmation of basic data...

Upon arriving in front of this spiritual academy, Minos and Ruth went through the large entrance garden. There were already many people arguing and smiling because they were participating in this event.

People were coming and going, and as soon as the two youths approached one of the great buildings in this academy, someone suddenly called Minos' name, not too far away.

"Oh! Minos! Wait for us..." A young woman with red hair said out loud.

This was Kara, the holder of the 4th position in the Cultivation Ranking, whom Minos had previously met at the Cultivation Tower.

Beside her was a young man with red hair, wearing a white robe.

This was Kara's older brother, Ford. He was also in the top 10 of the Cultivation Ranking, being in the 7th position.

He and his sister came from the Kingdom of the End, the lands on the northern boundary of the Central Continent. The two came from one of the most prominent noble families in that place, the Carline family.

Anyway, Minos had made friends with Ford and his sister after several encounters by chance in one of the restaurants on the 11th floor of the Cultivation Tower, where they were training.

When he turned and saw the two young gingers, Minos smiled and then greeted them. "Haha, I didn't think we were going to meet you two here. Have you already done the first test?"

"It is a really good coincidence. But we haven't auditioned yet, as we just got here." The beautiful young woman said excitedly. She was dressed in a green dress, which demonstrated the high standard of her body.

And it was not long before many eyes turned to Kara since she was very famous among the participants. After all, in addition to her first-rate beauty, she was also exceptionally talented.

Minos then smiled and said. "Oh! So let's go together!"

"Hmm."

After agreeing to this, the four people proceeded to the interior of the building that was in front of where they were.

And as they walked over to a large information board, Kara suddenly remembered something and asked Ruth. "Hey, don't they say that only participants can enter here?"

Ruth then took out the flaming medallion and showed it to Kara as she said. "As I have this, I can follow all parts of the competition."

Upon seeing this, the two suddenly realized for the first time that Ruth came from the Flaming Empire!

"Did you come from the empire? But if that is true, then why is Minos participating in this competition?" Ford asked doubtfully.

"I am from one of the sects of the empire, but Minos is not." She said with a smile on her face.

After hearing this, the two young people still did not understand. Even if that was the case, Ruth could just take him there. There was no need to participate in the competition...

Minos then decided to speak, seeing the pair of siblings confused. "I have no interest in going to the Flaming Empire. I am just participating in the competition as a form of training. I am also making some contacts."

'Don't you want to go to an empire?' The two siblings thought about it, almost at the same time.

The young Kara then smiled and thought. 'What an interesting guy. Is he being arrogant because he doesn't care about an empire? Or is he being humble for recognizing his own position?'

"Anyway, I'm still going to take the competition seriously, so don't give up if you have to fight me..." Minos said with an enthusiastic smile on his face.

He liked to fight, and soon he could hunt down the fugitive who had run after losing to him!

'Hahahaha, wait a minute, Leroy, I'll cut your head off with my sword!'
