"It's like this. The result of the competition between the four city-states of Zulong City State will be included in the tournament. Therefore, we'll have to establish the order of Zulong City State this time," Zhu Minglang said to Nan Lingsha.
Nan Lingsha nodded and said, "Alright."
"There's something else that's both good and bad. The dynasty is only giving the Rui Nation a month. If the Rui Nation can't take over Zulong City State within a month, the dynasty will allow the four city-states of Lichuan to establish a new nation and become part of the Extreme Court Dynasty, "Zhu Minglang said.
"A month? Then the Rui Nation will definitely come out in full force within a month, "Nan Lingsha said worriedly.
"The third round will be held in Mechanical City. All the disciples who made it to the third round will enter at the same time. We have to win this tournament. Otherwise, the Rui Nation might use some evil forces to break through the defense line of Zulong City State, "Zhu Minglang said.
The more time they had, the more the Rui Nation would take risks.
Zhu Minglang wasn't worried that the Rui Nation's army could break through the Long Canyon within a month. He was more concerned about the evil forces!
Only by taking over the city as soon as possible could the ruler of Rui Nation restrain himself!
"Mechanical City?" Nan Lingsha asked in confusion.
"I'm not too sure about that. I heard that it's one of the ancient imperial cities. Due to the relocation of the imperial capital, this Mechanical City has been abandoned for a long time. Later on, some forces renovated it and turned it into an ancient battlefield," Zhu Minglang said.
"We'll have to face more enemies now."
"Yes. It's related to the competition. The other forces will try their best to eliminate us. If I'm not mistaken, the royal family, the four sects, the six big clans, the Azure Dragon Palace, the Ancient Dragon Palace, the Divine Mortal Academy, and the Dragon Tamer Academy all want the right to take over Lichuan. They've also thrown out a city-state-level resource to make this competition even bloodier," Zhu Minglang nodded and said.
"So, life and death are no longer restricted by the tournament?" Nan Lingsha asked.
"Yes, since it has already evolved into a competition, life and death are up to fate. Although there will be some referees hovering above Mechanical City to stop some killings in time, they can't guarantee that intentional killings will be stopped, "Zhu Minglang said.
Seeing that Nan Lingsha did not reply, Zhu Minglang said seriously, "Because of this, when we enter Mechanical City, there will be competition and danger everywhere. In addition, I already have some grudges with the Young Master Huang Gang. When the time comes, I hope that Miss Lingsha …"
"Yes, I will protect you well."
“？？？”
Did his sister-in-law have some misunderstanding about him?
Zhu Minglang rubbed his nose. He remembered Big Black Tooth and said, "By the way, thank you for healing my injuries. I didn't know that Miss Lingsha had a healing-type dragon pet. That's very rare."
The reason why Zhu Minglang said this was because he remembered that morning when he saw Nan Lingsha with a little ghost-like dragon pet.
Thinking about it, that should be the little creature that quickly healed big black tooth's injuries.
But he had no idea what kind of dragon it was.
Nan Lingsha stood there quietly. She only stared at Zhu Minglang with her mesmerizing eyes. Under the veil, her expression couldn't be seen clearly.
"What are you trying to find out?" Nan Lingsha asked.
"What are you talking about? I'm just expressing my gratitude," Zhu Minglang explained awkwardly.
"I can tell you the truth if you want to know," Nan Lingsha smiled.
"Actually, I'm just thinking about the competition in a few days. It's like entering a hellish battlefield. If I can learn more about Miss Lingsha's abilities, it will be better for us to win the competition," Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Minglang was telling the truth.
Nan Lingsha had shown two different abilities.
These two abilities of hers could be used at any time, but there were still some limitations to them.
She was a painter, and she was indeed powerful. Zhu Minglang was not too worried about her.
However, Sword Supreme's grandfather believed that she was a dragon master because of her other ability.
Zhu Minglang did not know much about her abilities as a dragon master. If she was trapped by a strong enemy, Zhu Minglang would have to consider her safety.
If something happened to Nan Lingsha in the competition, he would not be able to explain it to Li Yunzi.
"How did you know I have a dragon?" Nan Lingsha asked.
"I saw it by accident."
"I'll tell you in detail after the competition. You don't have to worry about me," Nan Lingsha sighed softly.
Nan Lingsha knew that Zhu Minglang was asking for her sake.
"Okay." Zhu Minglang did not ask any more questions.
…
The original Tournament of Factions had completely changed because of the competition.
Based on the previous tournaments, the highlight of the competition would be held in the Ancient Bronze Battlefield.
It would no longer be a 100-person battle. Instead, it would be a one-on-one elimination.
However, there were many forces participating in the competition, and the rewards for this competition were even higher than a mountain. Under such circumstances, it was no longer a competition between disciples.
Even the way the competition was conducted had changed completely.
The battlefield was held in Mechanical City. All the disciples who had entered the third round would step into Mechanical City at the same time. Hundreds of people would compete, and more than a dozen battles could happen at any moment.
It was a spectacular scene that had never been seen before. It made the already popular Tournament of Factions even more terrifying. Everyone in the Imperial Capital wanted to see it.
Worshipping strength had always been the ideology of Jiting Dynasty.
They would definitely try their best to let ordinary people watch such a grand Tournament of Factions.
Therefore, Mechanical City was very important as the battlefield.
As long as they arrived early and chose a good spot on the maze wall of Mechanical City, they could still watch the battles between dragon masters and divine mortals, just like in the Ancient Bronze Battlefield.
…
The day of Mechanical City's Tournament of Factions had arrived.
The sky was still dark, but they could already see the crowds of people moving toward Mechanical City from the various Imperial Cities.
Mechanical City was a barren city. It was overgrown with weeds and towering ancient trees. There were also farmhouses and dilapidated palaces. After some modifications, it had gradually become a training ground that was a combination of primitive cities and cities.
It was originally intended to be a battlefield for dragons. Since the Tournament of Factions and the Tournament of Factions were happening at the same time, the Imperial Capital officially used this barren city that had been under constant modification. It was the seventh Imperial City of Jiting Dynasty — Battlefield City!
The location of Mechanical City was not considered to be particularly remote. Those who had rushed in this direction early in the morning could probably reach it around sunrise.
Mechanical City was huge, almost as big as a city-state.
The city was surrounded by tall and sturdy walls. Even some Steel-Armored Ancient Dragons might not be able to break through them.
