"The Rising Star Competition is something I heard recently." Balba lowered his voice. "Apparently, you only need to fulfill two conditions to become a Rising Star, and you'll get great benefits."
Great benefits? Angor was curious. What kind of benefits could attract an alchemy nerd like Dave?
Balba's explanation gave Angor a better understanding of the Rising Star Competition.
The so-called great benefits were that Floating Mech City was planning to open a mysterious place for new stars to train themselves.
"I didn't plan to join the competition, so I didn't know much about it. I heard it from Dave," Balba explained.
Angor raised an eyebrow.
What's with this familiar deja vu?
It was similar to what happened in the purification garden. Both of them promised benefits and told Angor to train himself. But what about the garden in the end? It was a slaughterhouse. Angor didn't know how many people went in, but only a few came out alive.
Was Floating Mech City planning to repeat what happened yesterday?
Balba continued, "There are two conditions for becoming a Rising Star. First, you have to reach Level 30. Second, you need to accumulate 100 points for every battle after Level 30. "
Angor didn't know what to say.
"If I'm not mistaken, Sky Tower only has 15 levels, right?" Angor went to the top of the tower before, but he only reached 15 levels. He never knew that there were 30 levels. Could it be that the Sky Tower had built a new Mystery Realm on the top floor in recent years?
Before Balba could explain further, a young man beside Angor rolled his eyes at him.
It was a young man with a pair of skull ornaments and a chuunibyou outfit. The battle hadn't started yet, so he accidentally overheard the conversation of the people around him. He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Mister, how did you become an apprentice? You're not a newbie talent, are you? "The chuunibyou boy spoke in a disdainful tone." It's all basic knowledge! "
"Basic knowledge?"
"Just spend a few years in the underground market, and you'll understand without anyone telling you." The chuunibyou boy didn't care about Angor's attitude, but he still tried to show off his experience. "The battle hasn't started yet, so I'll show you something."
Angor looked at the young man beside him. He did not mind the boy's attitude and waited for his explanation with a smile.
"Yes, the Sky Tower only has 15 levels. But you need to know one thing. The tower is just a place for the city to send people to different places. The real Sky Tower has more than fifteen floors! "
The young man then began to blabber and explain.
Angor did not pay much attention to it. He already knew what the thirtieth level meant. In fact, it meant reaching the 15th floor of Sky Tower, then going to Floating Mech City's Tower of Infinity to clear the 15th floor.
In other words, you could skip the selection and go to the 30th floor of the Tower of Infinity.
However, after careful analysis, one would realize that going directly to the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Infinity was actually more difficult than going to the fifteen-floor Sky Tower or the fifteen-floor Tower of Infinity.
After explaining the meaning of the thirtieth floor, the young man was about to explain the mysterious reward that Balba had mentioned earlier. However, at that moment, the audience cheered loudly. When Angor looked back, he saw the two contestants already on the stage.
The chuunibyou boy seemed to be a fan of the "King of Beasts". He stood up and cheered excitedly when he saw the "King of Beasts" on the stage.
Angor was going to tell Balba more about the "Rising Star Competition", but the chuunibyou boy wasn't the only one who was excited. Cheers came from all directions. Balloons, ribbons, and all kinds of tricks were displayed in the air to create a visual feast.
Amidst the cheers, the countdown on the screen reached its final stage.
Angor did not fully enjoy the cheers, but he was still happy to see Dave on the stage. While munching on a piece of jerky, Dave casually cast a firework illusion and mixed it with the balloons and ribbons in the air. Among all the fancy tricks, it wasn't too eye-catching.
Dave was still wearing his usual outfit. He had a pair of goggles on his forehead and a light brown vest.
On the other side, the "King of Beasts" was also in his original costume. He looked at Dave with a serious expression. The two contestants were about to face off.
Angor remembered that the first stage of his match was all about talking. It seemed that both Dave and the "King of Beasts" had skipped this part.
When the countdown reached zero, both sides had already prepared a cantrip in the mind space, so when they saw that the countdown was over, they immediately released it.
The "King of Beasts" was a level-1 cantrip called Fire Barrage, which was an advanced version of Fireball. The effect was similar to Crescent Barrage, which allowed the caster to create a seal that could absorb and turn it into a Fireball. The number of seals that could be absorbed depended on how perfect the cantrip model was.
As long as the model was constructed more perfectly, the number of fireball imprints would increase. Each imprint could release three fireballs. If the cantrip model was perfect, the maximum number of seals could be 10, which meant 30 Fireballs could be released instantly.
On the other side, Dave also released the cantrip he was preparing. It was an Ice Wall.
Angor sighed in his mind. In a battle in Sky Tower, one could always cast an instant cantrip at the beginning because one could prepare a cantrip model before the battle began.
The "King of Beasts" prepared an offensive cantrip, while Dave prepared a defensive one. Angor could tell a person's personality from this.
He was not thinking about Dave's strategy. It was because the first cantrip they prepared was a counter to each other. In other words, the "Ice Wall" would not last long.
If the "King of Beasts" could build a better model …
While Angor was thinking about this, the "King of Beasts" had already released 21 Fireballs.
This scene stunned everyone present. In other words, the King of Beasts' "Fire Barrage" absorbed seven seals. It was not easy to build a cantrip like this.
Even Angor was impressed. When he watched the "King of Beasts" fight for the first time, the "King of Beasts" improved a lot.
The "Ice Wall" could not hold against too many Fireballs. In the end, the "King of Beasts" won the first round.
The "King of Beasts" chased after the "King of Beasts" by flying close to the ground. He quickly reached Dave and pushed his hands against the ground.
Then he shouted.
"Come out, my king! The most terrifying King of Beasts! "
A cloud of white smoke rose from the "King of Beasts". The atmosphere became even more heated. Everyone was shouting "King of Beasts".
However, when the "King of Beasts" came out of the "King of Beasts" smoke, everyone looked closer and saw a small white cat crawling out. It looked like a kitten. After coming out, it rubbed itself against the "King of Beasts" 'feet.
The atmosphere froze.
Angor had seen this before, but he still felt a little embarrassed to see it again.
But just as everyone was booing, the King of Beasts controlled the little white cat to rush towards David. The little white cat seemed to have turned into a sharp arrow, and its momentum was like riding the wind and breaking the waves, pressing forward with indomitable will. Everyone felt as if there was a fierce drumbeat in their ears, and their blood instantly boiled!
When the "White Cat" reached Dave, the "King of Beasts" grinned. "My king is the" King of Beasts "! Without a doubt, the "King of Beasts"!
As soon as she finished speaking, the little white cat instantly swelled up countless times and turned into a white tiger with its wings spread out! The "White Tiger" opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit at Dave.
The atmosphere became heated again.
On the stage, Dave looked like he was about to fall into a dangerous situation. However, at this moment, a series of gray runes suddenly flashed across Dave's body. The runes expanded from his chest to his abdomen, and his body turned into an iron pot.
Iron Hedgehog Bloodline! Activate!
The "White Tiger" did not move. Instead, it tightened its teeth.
The situation changed quickly. Angor almost knew the result. If the "King of Beasts" did not have a stronger trump card, Dave would win easily.
If the "King of Beasts" could not break the "Iron Hedgehog Bloodline" defense, everything would be in vain.
Ten minutes later, the intense battle came to an end.
Just as Angor expected, the "King of Beasts" did not manage to break through Dave's defense even though he turned his "White Tiger" into a flaming "White Tiger".
There was nothing special about the battle, but it made Angor think about a lot of things.
While he was growing, the others wouldn't stop either. They were also constantly improving themselves. Both Dave and the "King of Beasts" were different from before.
Angor knew that he could not afford to slack off.
The world would wait for him, but not the others.
Angor looked at Balba who was standing beside him.
Balba was looking at the stage in a daze even though there was no one there.
When the King of Beasts was fighting against Dave, he saw Balba staring at the stage with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Balba had the blood of an otherworldly barbarian, which was a race that prided itself on fighting.
Angor could tell from Balba's eyes that he wanted to fight.
But Balba once told him that he did not care about the "Rising Star Competition" and refused Dave's invitation to watch. Now it seemed that Balba did care about the competition. He was just afraid that Angor would do the same.
Balba's "Parasite Bloodline" was a one-time consumable bloodline, which prevented him from using his bloodline power in a fight.
He was afraid that his bloodline would boil, and he would lose control of himself.
