Kethrin Castle looked strangely enchanting after it was dressed up.
The main road leading to the castle was paved with countless pieces of bluestone of the same shape and size. It sloped upwards, following the winding terrain all the way to the grand golden gate of the main castle. Both sides of the road were filled with shops and small fountains scattered all over the place. Each area was different from the others, presenting a myriad of different and colorful scenes.
The architectural styles around Kothrin Castle were also varied. There were domes, pointed roofs, square roofs, colorful agate glass walls, and exquisite murals everywhere … In order to welcome the representatives of the sorcerer families from all over the world, the whole of Kothrin Castle was dressed up in a new style, giving off an exceptionally pleasing impression.
The sorcerers who came here came in all sorts of strange vehicles.
Other than the public airships, there were also some Wizards who rode wyverns, griffins, Socrates eagles, two-headed chimeras and other flying magical beasts. As for the Wizards with more unique tastes, they might ride wild elephants, armored bears, Morakot goats, magic claw lizards and other terrestrial magical beasts slowly coming here.
These accompanying magical beasts and magical beasts could not be brought into Kethrin Castle. They could only be kept in the large stations on the periphery of the square. Here, the Wizards who worked hard to receive the many Wizards were elite acolytes trained by the Association. Not only were they well-dressed and elegant, but they also had impressive strength.
With their strength, if they were placed in those small clans, they would probably be the future stars of the clan that they would hold in their hands and be afraid of falling, but here, they could only lower themselves to do the work that ordinary servants needed to do.
It could not be helped. There were simply too many Wizards who came to Kethrin Castle during this period of time, and their strength varied. If ordinary servants were used to receive those grade 2 and 3 Wizards, they would probably have to replace them every half an hour.
After all, most of the high-grade Wizards were eccentric and eccentric. If they did not deliberately restrain their surging Wizard energy, ordinary mortals would not be able to withstand the terrifying elemental radiation.
Most of the foreign Wizards were obviously not qualified to step into Kirin Castle. They could only temporarily find a place to stay near the castle and wait for the arrival of the tournament.
Every day, there would be a majestic floating airship arriving at the parking area. Then, a large group of Magi wearing standard Magi robes with the insignia of their families would disembark. Under the guidance of the Association's Magi, they would board black carriages and head towards the main castle.
These were the well-known large clans and organizations in the scattered Pagoda Forest region. Naturally, they wouldn't feel wronged and stay outside the main castle. They were obviously familiar with the Magi of the association. As soon as they arrived, they all gathered together and hid in a secret room, whispering to each other.
Regarding this competition, outsiders naturally had no idea what the higher-ups of the association were thinking.
However, if the competition was able to select one of the strongest contestants to reach Tier 4, then they would be able to obtain information about the competition one day earlier. Naturally, they would be able to gain an advantage in the upcoming changes.
Naturally, Tier 4 Sorcerers would not be interested in such a small benefit, but it could determine the rise and fall of those small and medium-sized Sorcerer families or factions. Therefore, they couldn't help but be nervous!
Of course, the selection of the strongest Tier 3 contestants had also attracted the attention of the other three major factions.
It was said that the three major factions had already sent out secret observers to observe the competition. They wanted to understand the progress of strength in the scattered Pagoda Forest region over the years.
As for the competition's venue, it was chosen to be a secondary plane called the Blue Sea.
Four peak Tier 3 powerhouses would be divided into two groups, and they would be teleported to different areas of the Blue Sea Plane. There, a long battle that would last for 15 days would unfold. Both participants would have half a fixed teleportation crystal on them. As long as they successfully snatched the other party's teleportation crystal and fused it into one, they would be able to return to Keslin Castle smoothly.
The one who successfully returned to Keslin Castle would be the winner of the competition.
If both participants were unable to snatch the other's teleportation crystal, then they would both lose and become eliminated.
As for the finals, they would be held 15 days later. The rules and method would be the same, and the winner would be the one who obtained the teleportation crystal and successfully returned.
This meant that the person who wanted to become the strongest Tier 3 contestant in the scattered Pagoda Forest region would have to defeat two competitors consecutively within 30 days. This was not only a contest of strength, but it was also a test of perseverance.
Of course, if one of them could defeat his opponent within a day and send it back to Keslin Castle, not only would he have an additional 14 days of rest, but he would also have the opportunity to watch the next battle. Understanding more about one's opponent would undoubtedly be of great help in the upcoming battles.
However, while this sounded good, it was not realistic.
After all, the few selected Sorcerers were all peak Tier 3, and each of them had experienced hundreds of battles and had rich combat experience. In a situation where one's strength could not completely suppress their opponent, no one would be able to defeat their opponent easily.
…
Blue Sea Plane.
This was a small plane that occupied a vast area and was rich in biological and mineral resources.
Ever since it became a subordinate secondary plane of the scattered Pagoda Forest Association, the strongest natives of this plane had either been killed or captured. It had already been completely cleaned up. The remaining natives had become slaves and miners under the Association, and they were busy working in various plantations and dark mines.
However, today, this place had become the battlefield for a few Tier 3 Magi who had crossed over from another plane.
In a dense forest near the west coast, a dense white light suddenly lit up.
Soon after, a tall figure walked out of the white door of light that was filled with dense, vibrating mist. He frowned as he surveyed this completely unfamiliar plane world.
The moment he stepped out of the teleportation door, Grimm felt an overwhelming sense of malice.
Under the suppression of the powerful will of the plane, the surging magic energy on his body rapidly decreased, and in the blink of an eye, it was suppressed to the initial rank 2.
It was as if an elephant had been forcefully stuffed into a shoe. Being in such a small and suffocating plane, even if he did not meet any enemies, Grimm could still feel the pain in his limbs and bones.
"Looks like the first round of the battle revolves around the suppression of the plane … Whoever adapts to the environment here first will be able to display greater strength."
"A.I. Chip, start analysing the laws of the plane here!"
[Beep. Mission accepted … Estimated time of analysis is 11 hours 29 minutes 31 seconds …]
11 hours … Hmm, I'll use this time to find my opponent!
However, who will my opponent be?
In Kothrin Castle, Grimm and the other three had stepped into the teleportation door at the same time, but they had been sent to different regions in pairs. Hence, at this moment, even Grimm did not know who his first opponent would be.
[Beep. Unknown energy undulations detected …]
Just as Grimm was muttering to himself, the A.I. Chip suddenly sent out a series of prompts, and seven life forms with strange energy undulations were projected in his retina.
Grimm raised his head, and his gaze pierced through the swaying branches and leaves of the trees, landing on an eagle that was circling in the blue sky.
In Grimm's elemental vision, this eagle's body was overflowing with a dense red glow. It was obvious that it was a specially modified wizard beast.
Grimm squinted his eyes, and then turned to look in a few other directions. He found the same red glow on a few deer, squirrels, and spotted snakes.
Hmm, it seemed like these were modified wizard beasts that the association had prepared beforehand to monitor the entire process of the battle.
One could imagine that at this moment, there were hundreds and thousands of Magi in Kothrin Castle monitoring the actions of the few participants through the eyes of these wizard beasts.
Hence, it was better to conceal some of the secrets that he did not want to reveal!
Grimm suddenly revealed a mischievous smile. He raised his right hand like a pistol, and made a shooting gesture towards a squirrel that was hiding in the dense treetops a hundred metres away.
* Pa … *
With a slight movement of Grimm's mouth, the squirrel that was curled up in a green leaf suddenly exploded into a small fireball, and was burnt to a crisp in an instant.
Grimm smiled slightly, and pointed his pistol at a deer that was hiding in the bushes 120 metres away.
* Pa … *
There was another soft sound, and the deer's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose suddenly spewed out flames. It struggled to run five steps before collapsing and turning into a pile of charcoal.
As if they were shocked by Grimm's unscrupulous behavior, the creatures shrouded in the red glow began to run as fast as they could. Unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun Grimm's sound effects. After a few shots, five of the seven red dots were extinguished.
The eagle moved the fastest. It had already spread its wings and was already three miles away. Grimm did not want to kill it. After all, this was a monitoring method left by the association, so it was not good to extinguish all of them. All he needed to do was to set a boundary and drive them away.
After driving away the eagle, Grimm's gaze fell on the roots of a tall ancient tree.
There, a gopher with a red glow was hiding underground, using the soil as a cover. It did not escape.
It seemed like the Magi who controlled the wizard beasts did not know how Grimm found out about the abnormality, so they were still trying to escape Grimm's "pursuit".
Grimm smirked, clenched his right hand into a fist, and smashed it down.
A hundred meters away, with the ancient tree as the center, the surrounding twenty meters of ground seemed to have been fiercely smashed by an invisible iron fist, suddenly collapsing into a two meter deep pit. All the ancient trees, branches, vines, and bushes were burned into ashes by the invisible flame.
In Grimm's elemental vision, the red dot was also extinguished.
How could an ordinary creature that had been transplanted with a Witchcraft Eye withstand Grimm's attack?
After blinding all the "eyes" that were watching him, Grimm took out the strange black crystal from his waist pouch.
The crystal was only the size of a fist, and there was a dense black fog inside, so Grimm could not see what was inside.
However, as soon as he took it out, a strange vibration was generated from the black crystal. It seemed like it was trying to get out of his control and fly somewhere to the northeast.
It seemed like that was where the other teleportation crystal was.
