588 Competition Has Been Set!
“Hey, have you guys heard? Humans are going to have a competition with us demons before the final battle!”
“Who doesn’t know about this now? But do you know the inside story?”
“Hahaha, I know, I know. Someone I know heard it from the Supreme Court.”
“You know, when the humans first proposed this competition, all the Demon Kings rejected it. They led many demons across the borderline mountain and defeated the humans immediately. Then, they kept the humans as pets. How could they waste time participating in the competition?:
“Ah, but the two Demon Saint’s agreed, because the human has given us a reason that we demons can’t refuse, and that is the knowledge of the cultivation system. This will be a big win for us. Since the last war between humans and demons, the higher-ups of the demons have stolen a lot of books from the human side, especially the books on cultivating knowledge. They have grown a lot from it. Nowadays, sneaking into the human world to steal books has become a good place for us demons to earn extra money.”
“Ahem, let’s get back to the point. It’s not just about knowledge, but also about reputation. This time, the world’s number one competition is being held. Even the two great Demon Saints would want to compete for first and second place!”
Many other secrets were spilled between the crowd. Of course, no one knew if they were true or not!
However, in a short period of time, this kind of rumor had spread all over the major cities of the Demon Realm. Almost everyone was talking about this competition. It seemed that it was the first time that the demons had participated in this kind of topic. Everyone was very excited and were talking about it all the time. It was as if they couldn’t keep up with the times if they didn’t discuss it.
The commoners knew about it, and so did the high-ranking Demon Kings, Demon Emperors, and even Demon Saints!
“Hehe, even the Demon Saint has agreed to the competition! I really don’t know who spoke first to even dare to make up stories about the Demon Saint!”
“Why? Is the Demon Saint going to refuse this competition?”
“How can they refuse? Once they refuse the competition, they will definitely publicize that demons are afraid of battle and that they don’t have the courage to fight to the death. At that time, they will lose more than half of the battle between humans and demons before it even starts!”
“They won’t refuse… Could it be that Lord Demon Saint is also going to participate?”
“Hehe, that’s impossible. Once Lord Demon Saint tries to fight for the world’s number one ranking, he’ll be in for the ride. If he’s injured in the competition, it’ll be a great victory for the humans!”
“This won’t do, that won’t do, what do we do?”
There was no reason for the demons not to fight, but they were not st*pid. They had thought about the problems that they would encounter in this battle to a certain extent, and then gave the corresponding solutions.
The Demon Saint would not make a move. They were the demons’ trump cards to defeat the humans. If something were to happen, it would give the humans a chance to gain victory.
In the end, the demons found the humans and discussed the mechanism of the competition. In the end, the final version was decided!
This was a competition that would last for more than two months. From the seventh rank stage to the Venerable Sovereign rank, there would be corresponding combat competitions, most of which were life-and-death battles.
This competition had already become a preview for the great battle between humans and demons.
…
“Success, a complete success!”
Zhang Jintao and Fang Yuan walked in from outside. They had just returned from the borderline mountain and were going to participate in the competition against the demons. They were also making bets. One side placed his cultivation knowledge and wisdom, while the other side placed his countless treasures and rich cultivation resources.
Thinking of the huge amount of cultivation resources, even Fang Yuan, the richest person in the world, was extremely envious of the competition. It was a pity that he could see it but not get it.
In the meeting room, Lin Xuan was also there. He naturally knew what Zhang Jintao and Fang Yuan were doing. After all, he was also part of the gimmicks, attracting the curiosity of many demons towards this guest from the sky.
The other demons were only curious, but the Moon Royal Court could not wait to learn about the Moon Lord from Lin Xuan. The Greenwood and the Roc Royal Courts were also quite concerned about this and expressed their concern.
“I’m telling you, the situation at that time was getting pretty dangerous…”
Fang Yuan had just sat down, and had not even taken a sip of tea when he started to boast about their day. The relatively peaceful negotiation and contract signing ceremony was so shocking as if it was a matter of life and death.
Zhang Jintao just smiled and did not say anything. The previous memories flashed in his mind. The strong human beings were not weak, but there were more demons than humans, and they had a higher physical advantage over humans. If it were not for their skills, humans would have gone extinct a long time ago.
As the competition was meant to drag out the time, it was arranged to be a one-on-one battle. As long as the humans were not completely defeated, they could continue to fight.
Therefore, it was not going to be a simple fight, but a tag-team battle. It was obvious that the rank seven and above monstrous beasts were far more powerful than the humans.
As long as it stalled for time. Both sides were not competing to determine the winner. Well, at least the humans were not.
“When does it start? Has the time been set?”
“It’s set. It’ll be in a few days time. At that time, it’ll be broadcast live to the whole world!”
“Are you guys that confident?”
“It’s not because of us, but because the demons are confident. They want to wear down the fighting spirit of the humans through this competition, so they decided that this competition must be broadcast live. The demons are in the same situation as us.”
“I see, let’s try our best…”
Soon, the gossip quieted down and everyone once again fell into cultivation. This time was planned by the higher-ups to give the people of the world more time to cultivate and improve their strength.
On the other hand, Zhang Jintao and the others practiced the Tinder Sutra during the day and prepared for the competition at night. Due to the introduction of true energy martial arts, the cultivation system of the human world had undergone a huge fluctuation, and many methods they had before were no longer suitable to improve one’s strength. Of course, with the talents of these high-ranked powerhouses, they could easily add true energy to their previous skills, and their power would increase greatly.
However, this method was only a temporary one. It was only a rough application of true energy. By studying true energy in detail, powerful true energy martial arts techniques could be developed, and each move could be equipped with terrifying power.
For ordinary people, the Tinder Sutra could not increase their strength by much, but as long as they could learn a set of escape skills, they would not be so easily killed in a war between humans and demons!
