The Medallion

Meanwhile, in a luxuriously embellished grandstand on the north side of the battle ring, Elvis sat in the middle, with several elders and some important officials of the Ji Clan on his two sides. Sabina, who was the bride of the competition, sat next to him.

The chiefs of all the forces, representatives, and also some influential figures in the Holy Dragon Empire were present in the grandstand, signifying the importance of the battle ring. Apart from the influential figures, some spirit manipulators also came to the competition. In fact, others even came there just for fun. At that moment, they surrounded the whole battle ring, much like concentric circles, forming what appeared to be a grand meeting!

However, everyone was surprised that the Ximen Clan didn't send any of their spirit manipulators to participate in the competition. Needless to say, this was actually good news to all the other clans. At least, there was one less clan to worry about!

At this moment, Sabina seemed to be a little anxious, perhaps this was because she had not yet laid eyes on someone she was hoping to show up.

"Why isn't he here yet? I hope he shows up any second now. The battle is about to begin!" Elvis looked at Sabina and asked with worry in his tone.

"Let's not wait for him any longer." Sabina kept silent for a while and shook her head in dismay.

Shifting his gaze to the audience, Elvis heard and saw that the whole training field was overflowing with so many people, crowding the entire place. Aside from the royal family, all the forces also gathered here, so he didn't wait any longer. After all, if he waited for just a bit more, then he might upset the crowd. Soon after, he stood up and walked to the front of the stage, looking around the people present, and said, "Today is the day my daughter chooses a husband in the competition for marriage. First of all, I would like to thank you all for your support! This would never be possible without all of you. Since it is a competition, seniority will not take effect today among the competitors. Everyone is equal. As long as the spirit manipulators meet the necessary requirements to enter the competition, then there is no reason for them not to fight on the stage. In order not to destroy the harmony of each party in the battle, the first task will be grabbing the ball-flower! Now, all of you must have noticed the ball-flower in the center of the battle ring, right?"

Elvis explained the rules while pointing at the ball-flower in mid-air, which was just supported by a bamboo frame a few meters high. After that, he continued, "As soon as the battle starts, each party must do whatever it takes to acquire the ball-flower. Whoever gets the ball-flower first will be hailed the winner. However, he must accept the challenge of other spirit manipulators and defend the ball-flower from them. If the ball-flower remains to be in possession of the defender within fifteen minutes, then the defender remains the winner.

spirit manipulators in the Holy Dragon Empire who had achieved the Supernal Stage were distributed in the royal family and several big clans. Among them, the royal family owned the most of the masters at that stage, followed by the Ximen Clan, and then the Ji Clan.

Needless to say, the competition became more intense. After a few rounds, the ball-flower was snatched by a five-grade master at the Supernal Stage from a big clan. Moreover, among the people ready to go on the stage, only less than ten masters at the Supernal Stage had the strength to fight. Obviously,
