The Academy Exchange Meeting is nominally an academy exchange, but in fact it is an occasion for the new generation of sea people to compete. Others who have not entered the academy or graduated can also participate, but they have to go through a slightly cruel elimination round. Before the game officially begins, this kind of selection has already begun, and some adventurers, mercenaries, or people who travel around have begun to participate. Of course, some people care too much about fame and fortune, and may not participate in the past, but this session is different, because it is related to the Sea King Festival, which is the honor of every sea clan, more important than anything else. It is the closest contact with the Sea God, which may be a rare thing in a lifetime, so as long as you think you have some strength, you will go to participate, and maybe the Sea God will see you.
Fierce battles broke out in the inner city, outer city and two major academies of the Mermaid King City. Almost all the warlike sea creatures put down their work to watch this large-scale battle, and the sound of people was deafening everywhere.
Caesar, who was hiding at home, was also itching to death. Guys like Kao were too disregarding of brotherhood and they all left one by one. Even Zhebie and Didi were missing. Only the honest Batti was guarding the house. He had no interest in joining in the fun... But it was almost the same whether he was there or not, and Caesar was still bored.
No, he was a very smart guy in his past, how could he be stumped by such a small problem.
After rummaging through boxes and drawers, he finally found a set of clothes dressed as an old magician and wrapped himself up. Although there were some peeping people outside the door, they were still a little bit unable to track him down.
First let Batty open the door, then yell and hammer the door to fool the followers, and take advantage of this opportunity to attract Caesar to disappear through the window. Even if there are people waiting behind, those who can see Caesar's movements clearly must have good eyesight, and those who can keep up with his movements... I'm afraid they won't do this job.
Freedom, freedom is the best. Caesar, who was walking on the street and squeezing with people, finally understood the benefits of not being harassed. People like Elena and Clara have long been accustomed to this kind of thing. It's really hard to know how they got through it in the past. In any case, before Caesar's mystery is revealed, they can still slowly enjoy this kind of life where people pay attention to them.
The fighting on the various competition stages of Reef Academy was in full swing. The battles between masters were at their own level, and the fights between novices were also fierce. Many of the fights were hard to determine. Of course, there were also battles with huge disparities in strength, and many of them were kicked away almost at the first encounter.
...This rabbit Kao actually started a gambling game by himself. This guy set up a small platform next to a martial arts arena and placed bets on the ongoing competition. With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult for him to tell who would have the upper hand. What's more, there was Didi beside him. Poor Didi became his military advisor and accountant. While Kao himself was having fun, Didi was working to earn money, which was much more than what he could earn as a peddler.
Caesar didn't bother them and hid aside to watch the fun. Generally speaking, this kid Kao still made some money. Of course, the amount in such places was relatively small and everyone just wanted to have some fun.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he slowly walked towards the arena. The people around him made way for him. Logically, there shouldn't be any famous people here, so why would everyone be so scared of a not-so-famous person?
Soon Caesar understood what the problem was, because this person had the aura of the fire element that the sea people feared... the underwater volcano people!!!
Even the Volcano Clan, who have always lived in seclusion, have come out. It seems that the charm of the Sea King Festival is really huge!
On the surface, this young man from the Volcano Clan looks no different from ordinary sea creatures, except that his skin is slightly rosy and there is an irrepressible fire element flowing in his body. Although they live in the sea, they cannot use water elements but can use fire elements. It can only be said that there are all kinds of wonders in the world. The young man holds a fan that looks very similar to a human's... a weapon, should be a weapon, and walks slowly onto the stage, saluting everyone according to the etiquette of their clan.
"My name is Andrei, from the Volcano Mok Clan. This is the first time our Mok Clan has come out in a hundred years. It is for the Sea King Festival. I hope the masters of all clans will give me some advice."
What the young man said was very honest, but he was inevitably a little frivolous and looked down on all the masters in the world. Soon a challenger rushed up.
They call themselves the Volcano Clan, but other members of the Sea Clan generally call them the Flame Clan, with a certain degree of awe in them, because the damage caused by fire is too great.
"Boss, boss, you're here, that's great. Having you as my military advisor is a sure win!"
Caesar's magic robe was grabbed by someone... Oh my god, what a rabbit Kao is!
"How did you recognize me?"
Caesar just wanted to join in the fun, but didn't want to work for Kao, and he didn't know where he was exposed.
"Hehe, boss, stop pretending. Your eight-character step is unique and I can recognize it at a glance. What's more, your kingly and domineering aura is unstoppable, how can I not feel it!"
"Brother Cao, is the turtle spirit very powerful? I've never heard of such a unique skill among the Taote turtle tribe?" Didi, with an innocent smile on his face, always says depressing things.
"Hehe, Boss, what do you think of the strength of the Flame Clan? I think they are OK, but can they leave the volcano?"
Caesar smiled faintly. Elements are omnipresent. Only in certain circumstances and specific areas will there be a lack of elements. For example, the existence of water on the seabed provides a vast space for the existence of water elements, but fire elements still exist, but they are less in number. It is likely that the strength of the Flame Clan will be compromised after leaving the volcanic area, but the flames will not dry up as Kao thought.
"Don't underestimate any race. If we can think of something, how can they not think of it? It seems that the Flame Clan has also produced peerless masters in history."
"Damn it, that was hundreds of years ago. There was a Flame God who seemed to be a tyrant in the world, but he was still destroyed. In the seabed, fire magic alone is useless. Damn it, how can a warrior go up there? He is really asking for trouble!"
The challengers on the stage went up quickly and got down even faster. Before they could even get to the front, they were frightened out of their wits by the oncoming fire elements. Some of them had never seen the attack of the fire elements before. They were only theoretically unprepared for this type of offensive fire elements and had not overcome the psychological fear. If they were not shown mercy by the enemies, they would have been seriously injured if not killed.
"Everyone, please be careful. My fire element can cause great damage to other sea creatures. If you have not been exposed to fire elemental attacks, it is best not to go on stage."
Andre glanced around and bowed, saying that the Flame Clan also had advantages. Although they liked the fire element, the water element did not cause much damage to them. After all, they lived in the ocean. Although the fire element could not use the water element, the damage was only slightly higher than that of other clans. It was difficult to really define it. There was also a saying that was just the opposite, saying that the water element caused less damage to them. The real situation was probably only known to them. This was the benefit of mystery.
Due to the appearance of the Fire Clan, this place immediately became more lively than other places. The Sea Clan was still very enthusiastic, especially towards the strong. No matter which clan he was from, Andre immediately received warm support. He easily dealt with several opponents in a row. Most of them could not resist the fear of the fire element at all. Although it was only reflected in the slow rhythm of the movements, the competition was not a performance. Such mistakes were enough to determine the outcome. Among them was a magician, but unfortunately his level was too poor. It was a bit embarrassing that the water element was suppressed by the fire element.
"Thank you, thank you for your support, I will work hard!"
Andre obviously did not expect that he would receive such enthusiastic support. At the beginning, the people in the tribe were worried that he would be excluded. In fact, this was the difference between them. Although they had different elements, they were the same tribe. Even if humans could use water magic, the sea tribe would never be polite. The key lay in historical origins. The Flame Tribe was also their own people. In a way, it would interrupt the human monopoly on flames and win face for the sea tribe. However, the Flame Tribe had always lived in seclusion and seldom contacted the outside world. Moreover, they lived in scattered areas with a small population. They were not really a big tribe, and few people paid attention to them. Now that a successor had been born, it was naturally a different matter.
"This guy is very interesting, Kao. Be careful if you meet him."
"...Boss, it's not that exaggerated. The Flame Clan is nothing special. Their flames don't have much effect on me."
Kao rolled his eyes. He was not afraid of magicians.
"Be careful of the boat capsizing in the ditch. Do you think that is a magician?"
...Kao looked carefully at Andre on the stage. The boy's movements were a bit strange. Although he used the power of fire, he did not have the awareness that a magician should have, which is to keep a distance. There are only three types of magicians who dare to approach a warrior: idiots, who are excluded; those who practiced both magic and martial arts, like the boss; and those who practiced magic to the point of being unstoppable. Could it be that this guy has reached the level of a great magician?
But judging from his facial features, it is unlikely. Anyway, since the boss wants to pay attention, then we should pay attention. God knows how far he can go. Although the flames are new, everyone accepts it quickly. After watching a few games, the oppressive feeling will disappear. This is also the adaptability that a warrior should have. If you can't even overcome this psychological barrier, you might as well go home and have a baby... If you don't have a child, have one as soon as possible.
Andre is good-looking, and he holds a very stylish weapon, which makes him look particularly stylish among the crowd of people who are mostly big and strong. After all, "fans" are very rare, and although magic wands are stylish, they are rare and valuable, and this one is unique after all.
"Boss, the things in his hand are very valuable!" Didi looked at the things in the other person's hand with envy. It seemed that he was only interested in valuable things. The poor child must have been afraid of being poor in the past.
Caesar didn't notice this, but when he looked closely, he was shocked to find that the fan bones were all made of an unknown red black crystal. It looked like it was taken from some kind of sea monster. The black crystal was translucent and fluid, so it must be top quality. The overall manufacturing method was also very unique... Don't be fooled by its appearance, maybe it really is a secret weapon.
Andre's advancement is already inevitable, there is no one here who can pose a threat at all, but his appearance has caused Kao to lose a lot of money. No matter what the odds are, people will bet on Andre. Although the payout is small, it is still a payout. Kao even wants to come out in person to save his face, but it's a pity that he can only think about it.
Caesar nodded in agreement. The opponent's use of fire magic was very strange, and there was little similarity between it and what the old man taught him. If the opponent's skill was innate, then his was acquired. The former's movements were natural, while his were more meticulous and detailed. They each had their merits. If there was a chance, he would really like to spar with him.
The lively few days passed quickly, and many masters emerged among the general players. Many of them advanced strongly. The extra power added to the unpredictability of the future. As time passed, the Sea Academy Exchange Conference finally opened grandly.
On August 10, 1712 in the Neptune Calendar, nearly a hundred principals and school representatives from various colleges of the sea people announced the start of the competition. As the organizer, Principal Edinburgh gave a speech on behalf of Edinburgh College and Reef College... too long... skip it. Lao Jiao also wanted to say a few words, but considering the image and influence of the Mermaid King City, he was persuaded by everyone. The Mermaid King Aries naturally had to say a few polite words. More than one million people poured into the Mermaid King City. On this day, every street was crowded with people, and there were huge crowds of people around the various arenas. The enthusiasm of the sea people had reached its peak.
All contestants appeared on the stage. All were one-elimination matches. They were mixed together according to regions. Students from the same academy would not be grouped together in the preliminaries. Moreover, the groups for the finals were made based on the results of the preliminaries and their combat effectiveness. Therefore, performance at this time was also very important. A strong clash too early would always consume personal strength.
All the major colleges are also fighting with full confidence. The principals and teachers are all strolling to various occasions. Now there are no teachers and students, no nobles, no civilians, only soldiers and spectators.
In a match in Area A, Roye of the Sea Dragon Clan opened the battle first. His opponent was a warrior from Picasso Academy. Apparently, the warrior was a little depressed about facing Roye in the opening match. It took some skill to be able to participate in the competition, but Roye still won with an absolute advantage, and even the dragon fighting spirit was useless.
Afterwards, the remaining six great masters of the younger generation started fighting one after another. They all won with absolute advantage, which quickly aroused the passion of the audience. The official competition was different from the chaotic and low-level trials. Roye of the Sea Dragon Clan was as steady as a mountain, Lilith of the Dos Pig Clan had explosive ripples, Hai Youyou Dayu's ghostly body skills of the Jellyfish Clan, Prometheus of the Giant Whale Clan had boundless domineering, Roladman of the Tiger Shark Clan had bloody madness, and Xiao Bote of the Mermaid Clan was elegant and unrestrained, all made the entire Mermaid King City crazy.
But this is just the beginning. The competition did not enter a low point because of the end of the competition among the six masters. The real competition has just begun. Some players who were not favored before the game or were not well-known also began to show their strength.
Caesar is undoubtedly the most famous among the "unknown juniors". When the Adventurer's Guild and the Blood Witch both had the highest expectations for him, his fame also reached a peak. It's strange to say, he is the most promising when many people are skeptical about him even though he hasn't made a move yet. And why he is so promising, even the person involved is a little confused. Caesar is very confident, but he doesn't look down on the masters of the world. He still thinks that this competition is a good opportunity to test himself, and at the same time, he also tries to create as much reputation as possible. The most important thing is to enter the Sea King Festival, which Elena believes is the only chance to break the tradition of the Sea Dragon Clan. Caesar doesn't say it, but he won't give the victory to anyone - kill gods if gods stand in his way, kill Buddhas if Buddhas stand in his way.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet. Next up is this year's most promising contestant, Caesar from the Mermaid Academy. The Adventurer's Guild and Her Highness the Blood Witch have given the greatest confidence in this Sheou contestant's chance of winning. Let's wait and see."
The host was not from the Mermaid City. In order to be fair, he was jointly appointed by the organizing committee, and he was from all major colleges. Obviously, he was not optimistic about the unfamiliar classmate Caesar.
The audience's reaction was the same, even among the local audience of the Mermaid Tribe. Many things Caesar did were kept secret, or spread far and wide, and he has always been very low-key, so not many people have an impression of him. His recent fame was also due to the betting odds.
The excitement did not occur on the stage, but off the stage. The six great masters of the younger generation were all there, including Edmund, the owner of the Garuda Wushuang Ring, Kao, the owner of the Ganaro Vacuum Battle Axe, and principals and teachers from various colleges. It was obvious that they all had great interest in this classmate.
"Xiumi, our classmate Caesar's luck is not very good. He ran into a madman from the shark tribe right after he came here. Moreover, he is a nurse shark. If they fight, it will definitely be a fight to the death. I really don't know how the competition was arranged. Are they deliberately trying to mess with him?"
Rolandman crossed his arms and smiled as if he was watching the fun. Prometheus didn't care. He was paying attention to the other people. It seemed that everyone was here for Caesar. Brother Caesar, it may not be that easy for you to keep a low profile.
"Damn it! These little guys came here to get information so quickly. Are you kidding me? The damn Adventurer's Guild has exposed our secret weapon. I really want to destroy them... Caesar, save some strength. We can finish it with just a few punches and kicks. Don't expose your strength!"
When Lao Jiao shouted in a loud voice, everyone looked at him. Who was Lao Jiao? They immediately raised their heads, puffed out their chests and stuck out their buttocks, "What's the matter? Who doesn't obey?"
When everyone saw that the person shouting was Principal Reef, they swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of their throats. This principal was famous for his bad temper. If you piss him off, he would beat you up no matter whether you were a prince or a contestant... There was no point in talking to him, but... it was too disrespectful to the opponent. The nurse shark warriors had very dark faces... While retaining their strength, they had to deal with him with three moves and two kicks, as if he was made of clay!
"Ahem, Caesar of the Sheou tribe VS Billro of the Nurse Shark tribe!"
The host immediately started the game. If anything, Principal Jiao might start fighting first. The sea tribe was well-known for his nonsense and the power of his fists.
"Caesar, you're quite famous, let's see how you can knock me down with just a few punches and kicks!"
The nurse shark has the strongest resilience. It used the bloodthirsty frenzy technique on the spot, and its muscles swelled rapidly. The nurse shark is best at fighting and dying together with others. Their physical condition is very special. Their ability to withstand blows and recover are among the best in the sea clan. Especially their mental tenacity is a headache. Once stuck to them, they will fight to the death. What's more, the attack power of the shark clan cannot be underestimated.
If you encounter such an opponent, nine times out of ten you will end up hurting the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred.
"Luo Luo, this guy is from your academy, right? How strong is he?"
Roladman widened his glasses, swung his fists several times, and racked his brains a bit: "…I don't know him!"
"Fuck, you don't even know anyone from the college, what else can you do besides picking up girls!" Marilyn on the side was almost driven crazy by him.
"...Fire."
cold!
Caesar smiled without saying anything, letting the other party do as they please. No matter what the outside world said, I remained unmoved...but I still had to listen to the creditor.
Nurse shark Billro has already launched his full strength, showing his muscle strength. He looks a little ferocious, with red eyes, and he is ready to fight for his life. However, the sharks' bloodthirsty frenzy does not mean they have lost their consciousness. On the contrary, their battle ideas have become clearer. Billro circled around Caesar. Since the opponent is so highly regarded, he will not be careless and will test the waters first.
Caesar looked uncomfortable and let the other party find his flaws. When Billlo saw that he had gone behind the other party without turning around, he felt that this was too embarrassing, as if everyone was watching a monkey show.
He roared and punched Caesar, just to test his opponent's strength. The Sheou tribe should not be stronger than the shark tribe.
Touch~~~
In fact, the sound was very small. Bill Luo stopped abruptly because Caesar tapped his fist with his finger. The man's bloodthirsty frenzy quickly subsided and he fell to the ground with a thump.
Everyone stunned?
Is that the way it is? Isn't the nurse shark very resilient? Is this guy made of paper? How come he is broken by just one touch?
"Referee, is the game over?"
"Uh-oh, player Caesar wins this round."
"Damn, you're so useless. It's really boring. You can't even use your three punches and two kicks." Lord Lao Jiao put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.
The contestants watching the scene seemed to be thinking about something, but of course most of them had interested expressions on their faces. Just from this one move, they knew that Caesar was not someone to be trifled with.
As soon as Caesar won, the ball bounced above Kao's head. Kao was so angry that he pulled it down. He was about to teach him a lesson. He had told him many times not to step on the head. Just as he was about to do it, he felt that the temperature was a little low.
"Wow, haha, Yisa, when did you come? I was playing with the ball, but it was too naughty. I'd better give it to you."
Yisa took the ball and glared at Kao, "Caesar, Alina and Clara will be on stage soon, let's go and cheer together."
