Chapter 208: Tournament Has Begun!
“I think my luck has run out!” Lugh placed the ordinary Psychedelic Butterfly egg on the corridor, and Grandet and the others immediately turned their attention to the butterfly egg!
“It’s most likely an ordinary Psychedelic Butterfly egg, and its growth potential is only Silver. If you really want it, just pay 80,000 gold coins according to the market price of a Silver-Grade spirit-type pet. If you really can produce a Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, you don’t have to compensate me. Consider yourself lucky!”
Even though he knew that it could not be a Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, Lugh was too embarrassed to trick them!
“80,000, no problem!”
“Sure!”
“We’re still taking advantage of you!”
...
Lugh asked, “All four of you want it, but there’s only one butterfly egg, so who will it belong to?”
Grandet, Morandi, Sylvia, and Bolasi all fell silent!
They all wanted it!
If they could be like Viniya and produce a Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, that would be a huge profit!
“I’ll leave the Psychedelic Butterfly’s egg here. You guys can discuss it yourselves. In any case, all you have to do is give me the money!”
Lugh could not be bothered to interfere in this matter, so he left immediately!
After relieving the pressure, Morandi stood out and said, “Since we all want it and neither of us is convinced by the other, let’s have a match!”
Half an hour later, Sylvia from Iron Fist City handed 80,000 gold coins to Lugh!
Lugh accepted the money with a clear conscience!
The market price of the Psychedelic Butterfly was around 80,000 gold coins, and he didn’t intend to scam anyone!
In the following period of time, Lugh spent almost all his time on the training ground!
He brought the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly with him every day and killed Black Iron and Bronze-Grade Fierce Beasts. On the day of the competition, Lugh also successfully brought the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly to Middle-Grade Bronze!
However, even if it was Middle-Grade Bronze, it probably wouldn’t have the chance to show its face at the Southwest City-State Youth Genius Tournament!
When Lugh returned to the guest house, he happened to run into Sang Kun, who had just returned from drawing lots!
“Lugh, are you going to the training ground again?”
“Yes, my Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly needs to be properly nurtured!”
“Seriously, you’re really a cultivation maniac. If only those two brats were half as diligent as you!”
Morandi and Grandet had not been to the training ground for the past few days.
In their words, they needed to conserve their energy!
Lugh also agreed with their thoughts!
If they entered the training ground and their divine pets were injured, the lack of timely information would very likely affect the results of the competition!
“Everyone’s cultivation method is different, right?” Lugh smiled. “I just like actual combat!”
He liked the pleasure of gaining experience!
“Alright, go take a shower and rest. Come to my room at eight o’clock in the evening. We’ll have a small meeting!”
When eight o’clock arrived, Lugh appeared in Sang Kun’s room!
Sang Kuan simply took a glance at the matter of the Southwest City-State Youth Genius Tournament!
This time, the Southwest City-State Youth Genius Tournament had a total of more than 260 cities, with a total of 839 participants participating in the competition!
The tournament would be conducted by drawing lots, and the winner would be decided by two-on-two battles!
The rules of the tournament were the same as those of Seven Star City. Only Beast Tamers and divine pets could be used to fight!
During the elimination phase, each participant would have to compete four times, and the 50 participants under them would enter the next round of the preliminaries.
“Morandi, Grandet!”
At this point, Sang Kun suddenly called out the names of Morandi and Grandet!
“Yes!”
“In this tournament, the competitors are all geniuses from the major cities in the Southwest City-State. I don’t have high expectations for you. You two should strive to enter the top 50!”
Grandet said loudly, “Rest assured, Captain, I will definitely strive for it!”
Morandi also nodded. “I will also do my best!”
“Lugh, your opponents this time are also very strong. Among these 800 plus contestants, there are six Gold-Grade Beast Masters. They are all around 20 years old. They have been Gold-Grade Beast Masters for quite a long time. I don’t know if they have more than one Gold-Grade pet!”
Morandi and Grandet were stunned. They did not expect that there were so many young Gold-Grade Beast Masters in the Southwest City-State!
They were also around 20 years old, but they were only Silver High-Grade Beast Masters. They were already the top geniuses of Seven Star City.
In the end, six Gold-Grade Beast Masters appeared.
However, when they thought of Lugh’s age, they felt relieved.
Lugh, this monster, was even more exaggerated than other Gold-Grade Beast Masters!
Those Gold-Grade Beast Masters, the vast majority, were already 20 years old!
But Lugh was only 16 years old!
A full four years difference!
They were actually able to accept Lugh, why couldn’t they accept other Gold-Grade Beast Masters around 20 years old?
In their hearts, both of them sighed at the same time.
There was always someone better than them. They thought they were already geniuses, but they didn’t expect there to be even more geniuses!
“I have nothing to say about your strength. Just give it your best! I hope you can enter the top five, and it’s best if you can enter the top three!” Sang Kun continued, “It doesn’t matter even if you fail. You’re only 16 years old. You still have a chance in the future!”
“I believe that when you’re 20 years old, you’ll definitely be able to take first place! Your strength is definitely not just gold rank!”
Lugh said calmly, “I only want to take first place!”
Everyone could feel the confidence in him!
“Good kid, you have ambition. That’s what I admire about you!”
Sang Kun slapped his thigh and laughed loudly at Grandet and Morandi, “See, you guys have to learn from Lugh!”
Grandet and Morandi, the two young geniuses of Seven Star City, silently lowered their heads!
They also wanted to learn from Lugh!
But could they learn from him?
In any case, they had already given up on chasing after Lugh!
There was no way they could catch up. Lugh had already flung them so far that they could not even see the taillights!
Then, Sang Kun gave them number plates!
Lugh 622, Morandi 623, Grandet 624!
For safety reasons, the arena of Skylight City was also set up in the open space outside the city!
On the day of the competition, many citizens of Skylight City also came to watch the show!
The Youth Genius Tournament of the Southwest City-State was held only once every three years!
Every time it was held, all the young geniuses of the Southwest City-State would gather. Many young geniuses would show their power and become experts at this competition!
Therefore, as long as there was time, those commoners and Beast Tamers would not want to miss this opportunity to meet the young geniuses from all over the world!
Many wealthy commoners and Beast Tamers would even specially take the centipede train to Skylight City to watch the youth genius competition on the eve of the youth genius tournament!
“I heard that this youth genius tournament will be attended by Gold-Grade Beast Tamers!”
“A 20-year-old Gold-Grade Beast Grade!”
“This is too heaven-defying. I’ve worked hard for 20 years, and I’m still a Silver-Grade Beast Tamer!”
“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it!”
“That’s right!”
...
In the knockout stage, there were not only one competition venue, but ten!
The competition at each competition venue was pre-arranged!
Lugh and the others’ competitions were all held at the 5th competition venue. They did not need to run around, they just needed to stay at the 5th venue and wait for the referee to read their names!
Lugh was also thinking about whether he should continue to hide the matter of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine!
Although he was now known as a Gold-Grade Beast Master, in fact, he only had the Stormhawk, as a Gold-Grade divine pet!
The Bloodthirsty Hell Vine and the Berserk Bear were still stuck at the Top-Grade Silver!
If he were to meet a stronger Gold-Grade Beast Master, he might be a little passive!
However, he only thought about it a little and did not think about it anymore!
If the strength of the opponent really forced him to use the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, then he would just use it!
Anyway, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was in his hands, so there was no need to hide it!
On the competition field, the two Beast Masters were engaged in an intense battle. However, Lugh only observed the divine pets of both sides of the competition, and his interest was somewhat lost!
The battle that Silver-Grade Beast Masters only saw now was already very difficult to arouse Lugh’s interest.
Unless they summoned some rare divine pets!
Not long after, the battle ended and the Silver-Grade Beast Tamer won!
“The next match, contestant No. 622 from Seven Star City, Lugh, against contestant No. 3 from Skylight City, Mo Yun. Please stand on the arena!”
Hearing the referee call his name, and hearing that his opponent was from Skylight City, Lugh was slightly stunned!
The first match against the host’s players, it was really fate!
