Devin noticed the situation and said earnestly, "Besides the final competition, I've received news saying that the Loh family is likely to propose a battle with our Gu family right after the finals."
"When that time comes, if Uzair can obtain the Eternal Ice Core, his strength will increase greatly and will definitely be able to gain an advantage in the battle between the two families."
Uzair also said a few words, "Uncle Devin, I'm not doing this for my own selfish desires, but for the sake of the entire Gu family."
Talmon frowned and hesitated for a moment.
At that moment, Fade sneered and said, "Just be straightforward if you're doing it for yourself. You're even using some ridiculous reasons to justify yourself, how amusing."
"What did you say?" Uzair was furious as he glared at Fade.
Fade said, "I'm saying that you're selfish and hypocritical."
"You talked about doing this for the battle and the sake of the Gu family, but ultimately, you just want the Eternal Ice Core to yourself" "That's nonsense-" Uzair was very angry.
Devin spoke at that moment, "We're doing this for the sake of the overall outcome and Uzair does not make the decision by himself."
Fade sneered and asked, "But why do you have to give the Eternal Ice Core to Uzair for the sake of the overall outcome?"
"That's because Uzair is the strongest among us here. He could use the Eternal Ice Core to his advantage and this could help our Gu family to win the battle." Devin suppressed his anger as he spoke.
Fade said, "Who says that Uzair is the strongest among us here?"
"In my opinion, I am even stronger than him. If I could obtain the Eternal Ice Core, I will definitely be able to increase my strength even more and win the battle."
"That's nonsense!" Uzair furiously shouted.
Fade sneered, "Heh heh, you said that you're winning the battle for the sake of the family, so why do I winning the battle sound like nonsense to you? Aren't you being too bias?"
Alyx, who had been standing aside, could not help but stand up at that moment. He said to Fade, "Fade, you are being too self-righteous. Your strength can't even be compared to Uzair's. Do you really think you can win him?"
"Haha, you're just a loser, do you think I care whatever you say?" Fade said sarcastically.
"You- "Alyx was furious.
Seeing the situation getting more and more chaotic, Devin shouted, "Fade, what exactly do you want?"
Fade looked at Devin's cold eyes and said firmly, "It's very simple, we fight with our own abilities."
"You..." Devin was furious and was about to lose his temper.
At this moment, Talmon said, "Master Devin, if you don't agree to this, then let Fade step back and participate in the competition as a self cultivator. I believe that with his current strength, there should be quite a few people who are interested in him."
Once he said these words, Devin, who was originally about to rage, immediately calmed down. He stared fiercely at Talmon and clenched his teeth, "Talmon, are you forgetting that you are still a member of the Gu family?"
Talmon said in a deep voice, "Of course I didn't. But Devin, don't forget that the reason why our Gu family was able to stand strong in the South Van City for ten thousand years is that we're always fair to everyone and never do anything to harm others and ourselves." "You... fine, very well, let's fight with our own abilities!" Devin stared at Talmon. He was quiet for a couple of seconds before he clenched his teeth and spoke.
Although he was extremely displeased with Fade's words, he was still aware of Talmon's words.
If Fade really participated in the final as a selfcultivator, then Uzair would be the only one left in the Gu family. It would be almost impossible for them to win over the Loh family and South Van Academy.
Moreover, things would still go well if Fade did not help either side. However, if he held grudges and decided to help their opponent, it would be more difficult for the Gu family.
Therefore, after considering all factors, Talmon chose to back down and did not continue to force Fade.
Uzair glanced at the head who had a gloomy face. Then, he looked towards Fade and let out a cold laugh, "You think too highly of yourself. Once we reached the finals, I will show you what it means to fight with your own abilities."
"I'll be waiting," Fade said calmly with an indifferent expression.
Then, he turned around and the three of them left together.
In the hall, looking at Fade's back, many of the Gu family members started cursing and scolding.
"In the end, he's still an outsider and would never feel the sense of achieving success together."
"If it was not for our Gu family, how could he, a foreign brat, have the opportunity to participate in a competition held in the city. He's such an ungrateful person."
"Talmon should also take the blame, how could he do this just because of an outsider!"
"He's so reckless. Our Gu family gave him a chance, yet he's threatening us right now?"
Amidst the commotion, Uzair looked at Devin who was frowning, he said with a proud face, "Master Gu, I am confident that I will be able to win the finals even without Fade's help."
Devin nodded and said, "Uzair, of course I believe in your abilities."
"However, two people from the Loh family and three from the South Van Academy managed to enter the final. But there are only two of us from our Gu family."
"And Fade is still acting like an idiot. If they join forces, I'm worried that..."
After saying these words, Uzair looked worried.
He was actually very confident in his personal strength.
However, just like what Devin said, if the others joined forces, he would be on his own and would have to fight alone. That way, it would be even more difficult for him to win the championship.
After a period of silence, Alyx who was by the side suddenly stood up and said, "Master Gu, I have an idea."
"What is it? Tell me." Devin said.
Alyx made an obeisance by holding his hands together before his chest and said, "Since Fade isn't willing to help, we could find someone else. Among the ten finalists, there's one self-cultivated martial artist who doesn't have any background and that's Kayne."
"I've watched Kayne fight a few rounds during the pre-match competition. He defeated all of them within 10 moves and seemed quite strong, he's definitely stronger than Fade. If we can get him to help us, then Uzair will surely be able to successfully win the championship."
Hearing this, Devin and Uzair's eyes brightened up at the same time.
"Kayne, he is pretty good."
"Send someone to invite Kayne over so that we could discuss the details."
In the next few days, competitions among the cities were in full swing.
Among the many competitions, Russel from the South Van Academy won the champion in alchemy. However, everyone was discussing about Fade, who was Natalia's direct disciple. If he had participated in the Alchemy competition, he would have definitely won the championship.
After all, he had just defeated Russel not long ago and even created the Three Star Pill.
Of course, this topic didn't last for long because the Martial Arts finals which gained the most attention was about to begin.
On the day of the finals, nearly half of the people from the South Van City had gathered in the northern side to watch the finals.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Ashwin who was mayor of the South Van City and other the leaders of the major forces showed up. They then brought the ten finalists to the peak of a mountain.
Standing at the top, Ashwin pointed to a valley several miles away and said, "That place over there is called the Frost Valley, it is also the venue for the final competition."
"The rules of this competition are
he
very simple. ve hidden a million tokens in the Frost Valley. The ten of you will enter, I will then close all exits of the valley and you will have to find the tokens yourselves. Three day's later, I will reopen the
no
entrances and the competition ends there."
"At that time, we will count the number of tokens in your hands and the one with the most will win the championship. The rest will be ranked accordingly as well. If the
number of tokens is the st
then
you will have to battle each other on
the spot, and the final winner will be crowned as the champion. Do you understand?"
Several contestants nodded and said, "Yes!"
However, at that moment, Kayne stood up and said, "Mr. Goo, may I ask, I see that many of them come from the same background and forces. What
can I do if they form an alliance and fight with other contestants together?"
Mr. Goo said faintly, "You can also form alliances yourself."
Hearing this, Kayne's face darkened, and he seemed upset.
People around also began to talk about it.
"A self cultivator like Kayne might still have the advantage if he were to fight in the tournament. But, in terms of fights like this, he'll be at a
disadvantage."
"The finals are usually a competition between forces. The competition among cities had been like this for hundreds of years. Kayne has no experience and he didn't find any force that he could join in advance!"
"Who do you guys think will be the winner this year, the Loh or Gu family?"
"It might not be any of them. I think the South Van Academy looks pretty strong this year, even the top three in their Martial Arts School are all finalists
of this competition. Who knows, they might win the championship this time."
"That's not quite impossible! Although there are more of them from the South Van Academy, they are not from families like the Gu and
Loh family, so the cohesion still can't be compared to them. Moreover, Tyreece, Saul, and Grant don't seem to like each other. Even if the three of them join forces and eventually win the tokens, they still wouldn't know who the tokens would belong to. But the Gu and Loh families are different. They have already chosen their own seeded fighters, it's Uzair from the Gu family and Arian from the Loh family." "Ohhh I see!" In the midst of the discussion, the Gu family looked at Kayne. Deniz stood up and said, "Kayne, you should understand by now! If you agree to our previous agreement, it's not too late."
After thinking for a few seconds, Kayne finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
When they heard this, everyone from the Gu family revealed smiles on their faces.
Uzair moved a few steps closer to Kayne and said, "Help me when the competition starts later."
"Noted!" Kayne nodded.
When the audience saw this scene, they couldn't help showing a look of surprise and the atmosphere became much lively.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"So Kayne joined forces with the Gu family?"
"Looks like that's the case!" "After the end of the preliminary competition, many forces tried to recruit Kayne, but they did not expect to see him joining the Gu family in the end."
"With Kayne forming an alliance with the Gu family, they will have one more person and will definitely have a good chance of winning!"
"Yes, the Loh family has fallen behind this time."
After the discussions, Mr. Goo glanced at the ten finalists and asked, "Do you still have any questions?"
Most of them shook their heads and said no.
But just then, Fade suddenly stood up and asked, "Mr. Goo, I have a question."
"Go on." Ashwin looked at Fade.
Fade squinted his eyes and asked, "Can we kill anyone during the final competition?"
