Three months later, the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" was held in full swing in Black Dragon City.
Similar martial arts conferences were organized in various territories in the Ice Ridge Wasteland. But no force can really offer any truly attractive rewards, even the royal families of the two former empires.
The prizes are not attractive enough, and those masters at the master and grand master level rarely have the nerve to participate in any martial arts conference that makes people comment on their superiority.
Most of the time, some young disciples are sent to compete.
Therefore, no martial arts conference dares to bear the arrogant title of "the best martial arts conference in the world".
But this time, Black Dragon City has the confidence!
Just as a prize for participating in the competition, it is a treasure that can make fifth-level masters excited.
The first 100 will be rewarded with a complete set of first to fifth level gold quality potions. There are unimaginable prizes for the top 100, top 30, top ten, and top three.
The exclusive inheritance of the "Seventy-Two Divine Generals Sequence", including magic potions, exercises, martial arts, famous weapons and swords, advanced mechanical equipment... everything.
This is something that no other territory can provide, and only Black Dragon City can offer this "big deal"!
This is the temptation that even high-level transcendental beings cannot refuse.
The great master of the "One-Sword Style" [Blind Eye] Olga who has retired for many years, the great knight [Mountain Shield] Igor, [Witch of Thorns] Baki... all the familiar veteran masters have appeared at the conference one after another.
The details of their wonderful battle were circulated in the tavern of Black Dragon City and in the streets and alleys.
The more experts participating, the more valuable the conference will be.
In the past few years, the former "Top Ten Legends" have died and disappeared. There are also people like Master Cavo who became teachers in Black Dragon City and retired; people like Bazel who stopped being monster thieves and never showed up again...
The battle for "No. 1 in the world" has gradually gained a new perspective.
In this way, it also attracted a large number of real masters to come and compete for this title and these prizes.
Countless truly extraordinary masters gathered in Black Dragon City, which instantly attracted a large number of spectators.
Black Dragon City was very lively for a while.
... ...
The top leaders of the two empires, Sid and Omar, once thought that this martial arts conference was a "strategy" of Black Dragon City.
A large number of intelligence personnel were quietly sent to investigate.
They thought that Black Dragon City wanted to recruit these extraordinary masters from all directions. Or they may use some conspiracy methods to secretly get rid of some people who were once hostile to Black Dragon City.
For example, the official masters of the Sid Empire.
Later I discovered that this was not the case at all.
This is a perfectly normal martial arts conference. There are also many big nobles who ridicule Black Dragon City for such a "big deal", which is really a waste of money. Just for a little popularity, so many treasures were released
... ... .
The "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" that lasted for nearly half a month was almost coming to an end.
The top thirty-two lists for the youth group and the unrestricted advanced group have been decided.
For such a national event, the busiest events are the major pubs.
Black Dragon City has now built a sub-city dedicated to the development of the entertainment industry. There are thousands of various pubs, gambling stalls, erotic venues...
In the city, in the "Giant Tavern".
This tavern is famous for selling "black pigeon wine", a specialty from the remote mountains in the north of Sid.
Because of the martial arts competition, the tavern was full of people even though it was daytime.
The list of the top thirty-two finalists was posted on the notice board at the bar of the tavern.
The bookmaker has already opened the handicap, and even the Black Dragon City official has released a "Fighting Lottery" that costs only two copper coins, and if you guess correctly, you can win five million.
The drinkers also enthusiastically speculated on the outcome and placed bets on their favorites.
"Haha... I think [Iron Wall] Ah Tong from the 'Unlimited Group' will definitely be in the top three! In the competition the day before yesterday, even the Grand Master did not get any benefits..."
"I think [Soul Slayer] Roberts will definitely be the champion. I bought him a hundred gold crowns to beat him to the championship."
"Yes, I think so too. After all, he is a 'legend'. I heard that he used to be a gladiatorial slave..."
"If it weren't for this martial arts conference, we wouldn't know that there are any legendary masters who are not on the 'Top Ten Legends' list. The folk in this Ice Ridge Wasteland are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons."
"..."
The drinkers gathered in groups of two and a half, chatting and spanking.
In a corner by the window, a rough-looking strong man and a young man wearing a hat were drinking.
The young man seemed to like "Black Pigeon Wine" and drank several shots in a row.
"Senior Bazel, your tavern business is really good."
"Hehe... No, if one day I have to leave the Ice Ridge Wasteland, I'll leave a job for my tribe to make enough food for them. We werewolves are not very good at business, and we can't always be the monsters. Robbers, bandits, etc... Thanks to Miss Canossa for her attention and giving us the idea to build such a special tavern... "
"..."
These two people are naturally Bazel and Renn.
The two of them drank heavily, gulping down glass after glass of wine.
At this time, Bazel asked again: "Hey, boy Ren, you created such a 'world's best martial arts tournament' and even pretended to participate in it. Why did the top 32 retreat? I thought you wanted to Go win a championship or something.”
Renn smiled lightly and said: "I just went to meet the top masters of various professions. There are indeed several very powerful masters among the contestants, and I have met them all. Their extraordinary abilities have inspired me a lot... The goal is achieved. Now, there’s no need to fight for a reputation.”
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Bazel's eyes, and his tone was a little surprised, "Why, among these contestants, there is no opponent that you find difficult?"
"There are still some very powerful experts..."
Ren shrugged and took another sip of wine.
After a pause, a sharp expression flashed across his face, and he smiled and said, "But if you go all out... no."
"..."
Bazel raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard what Ren said.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "When you were at the fourth level of Transcendence, I thought you could still control it. Now, I can't understand your boy's combat power at all."
"..."
Ren smiled noncommittally.
At this time, Bazel didn't know why, but his mind suddenly recalled the first time he met Ren in Glory City.
That was outside Ilubek's laboratory.
Bazel was afraid that Ren would reveal his whereabouts and planned to kill him to silence him.
Unexpectedly, by a strange combination of circumstances, he found a way to solve the problem of tiny needles in his body.
Then... I watched this guy act like a monster all the way.
Then it progressed at an incredible speed.
Second order, third order, fourth order...
In just a few years, he had gone from the first-level extraordinary who could kill with one finger to the top powerhouse in front of him that he couldn't even figure out.
Understand the three laws of power, healing, and thunder elements at the same time
hehe...
Bazel felt helpless and envious.
Ever since he came out of the Black Emperor's tomb, Ren's realm has improved by leaps and bounds.
He has lived for more than two hundred years and has never heard of anyone reaching this level.
A transcendent being can comprehend a law when he reaches the fifth level, which is considered a talent that is unique among hundreds of millions.
The guy who understood the two laws in the Mafa Witch Festival is already a "magical person" that makes people feel unpredictable. And now, Renn has realized three more
This guy always refreshed some of his knowledge, and he suddenly felt that he was used to it.
He couldn't figure it out, and Bazel didn't think much about it.
He picked up the wooden wine glass on the table, clinked the glasses and said, "Come! Drink!"
Ren smiled and raised his glass.
... ... ..
In fact, this "World's Best Martial Arts Conference" was Metternich's attention.
The purpose...
Naturally, it is to get rid of some "future troubles" for Black Dragon City!
Now Renn and the others already know about the existence of "outside the territory", and also know that if they want to advance to a realm above the fifth level of extraordinary, they must leave the Ice Ridge Wasteland, which is suppressed by laws, and go outside the territory.
When they leave, they will definitely take away a large amount of Black Dragon City's high-end combat power.
From the current point of view, although Black Dragon City is very strong, the stability of the city relies heavily on the top masters such as Kawo and Mafa, so that those who have evil intentions dare not act rashly.
Once they are no longer there, it is easy for someone to take advantage of them with just the mechanics or the flying dragon army.
And Sid and Omar are the two biggest hidden dangers.
One of the purposes of holding this conference is to attract top-level extraordinary folk.
The masters came, and they got "prizes" and actual benefits. It also let everyone know that Black Dragon City has those precious "Seventy-two Divine Generals" inheritance.
The reward is definitely only part of it.
Whet up the appetite, but not completely full.
This tempted those masters to stay in Black Dragon City, hoping to get the complete inheritance, magic potions and practice resources.
There is no need to steal or rob. There are some army recruitment and hunting mission point exchanges in the city, which allow them to have this way to get what they need.
For example, one million mission points can be exchanged for one strategy to complete the "Epic Level Seventy-Two Divine Generals Martial Skills".
With this amount of points, even if a top expert takes on high-level tasks, it will take several years to complete tasks and accumulate points.
For top transcendental beings, it is definitely worth spending a few years to obtain the exclusive inheritance they need.
This will also cause most of the masters who came to Black Dragon City to participate in the martial arts meeting to stay in Black Dragon City.
And this was the brilliance of Metternich's plan.
There is no need to force those masters to sign any contracts and let them spend a few years in Black Dragon City to become familiar with everything here.
Renn and the others are absolutely confident that once anyone stays in Black Dragon City for a long time, they will never want to leave this "livable city".
The system of Black Dragon City is much more humane than other human territories.
Only here is true "freedom".
Therefore, in the final few years, 90% of those extraordinary masters who choose to stay in Black Dragon City will not choose to leave.
Moreover, Black Dragon City's policy also includes special "talent settlement preferential treatment".
A few years later, those masters may be "permanent residents" of Black Dragon City and have certain positions, or they may be military officers, instructors, officials... or some kind of martial arts gym director.
Talents are pouring into Black Dragon City continuously.
What's more, such "the best martial arts conference in the world" is not limited to this one, there will be in the future.
This plan will make Black Dragon City stronger and stronger.
Of course, only a few high-level people in Black Dragon City knew about this plan.
... ... .
While Ren and Bazel were drinking, their thoughts drifted away.
At this time, Bazel suddenly frowned, his face became a little solemn, and then relaxed.
He calmly said to Ren: "A top vampire is coming."
"oh?"
Ren was not surprised when he heard this, because at this time, a charming woman had appeared in the tavern.
The one who can make Bazel be called a "top vampire" is naturally the [Blood Ancestor] Lilith Dracula.
The Blood Ancestor is originally handsome and has fair skin. Even a vampire with an ordinary appearance has an eighth-level beauty of a human being.
This Lilith even wore a long skirt with a low V-neck, and the heavy pride on her chest was vaguely visible.
As soon as she entered the tavern, she immediately attracted the attention of all the drinkers.
All the bearded men forgot to drink and stared directly at this sexy woman.
Of course, if they knew that the voluptuous beauty in front of them was Sid's old vampire who had lived for who knows how many thousands of years, no one would dare to be so offensive.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of all the men, Lilith walked to the small table by the window, where Renne and Bazel happened to be.
Lilith sat down next to Ren with some familiarity and asked, "Handsome boy, do you want to buy me a drink?"
This snuggling position just made her bulging breasts press against Ren's arm.
The corners of Ren's mouth were slightly the same, "Okay."
The vampire's skin is as cold as a snake's.
Werewolves and vampires are feuding, and both sides have a blood feud.
Bazel looked at Lilith, naturally he was not angry, and immediately taunted: "Haha... an old lady who has lived for thousands of years, still showing off, I will pour out everything I drink in my stomach... . ”
"Ah... "
Lilith didn't sound angry and snorted coldly.
Werewolves are like dogs in the eyes of vampires, and this kind of ridicule will not let her listen at all.
What's more, even though they were both "Top Ten Legends", she felt that Bazel was no match for her.
She said casually: "Hey, the bereaved dog has found a new home and can bark again?"
These words were naturally related to the fact that Bazel was chased by a group of high-level vampires from Sid and fled from Sid.
Before, Bazel would definitely get angry after hearing this kind of ridicule.
Because what they said was true, and he couldn't beat this old woman.
But now... Bazel, who learned those secret techniques from the Black Emperor's Tomb, doesn't boo anyone at all.
With confidence in his heart, Bazel would naturally not get angry. What's more, he also knows that Ren has been wandering around the city these days just to wait for this old woman!
... ... .
Lilith saw that Bazel actually calmed down, and a flash of surprise flashed across her face.
However, she didn't come today to bring bad luck to the werewolf.
She looked at Ren, who looked as usual, turned her crystal eyes, and said numbly: "Hey... the handsome guy's demeanor is much calmer than some wolf dogs. My sister is really a little obsessed."
Ren admired Mei, but he didn't want to be fooled by her. When it comes to beauties, he has no shortage of them around him.
Now that the rightful owner he was waiting for had appeared, he didn't mince words and said directly: "Mrs. Lilith, I have something to discuss with you in detail."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this tone, Lilith instinctively felt a crisis coming over her, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
Is the other party waiting for me here on purpose
Could it be that he was ambushed
She immediately looked around the tavern, but didn't find anyone ambushing her.
Bazel looked at her like this and mocked: "Old ladies, there's no need to look, there's no one else here."
Ren also said calmly: "Since I am inviting Madam Lilith, as the city lord, I naturally have the sincerity to entertain guests."
Lilith suddenly felt that every step was being planned by others, which was very detrimental to the negotiation. She wanted to take some initiative, her eyes flashed with danger, and said: "Little handsome boy, I want to kill you, at this distance, Bazel can’t protect you.”
"What?"
Hearing this, Bazel, who was holding a wine glass and pouring wine into his mouth, suddenly looked strange.
He glanced at Ren next to him, and his rough face twitched: Kill him? hehe...
There may be someone who can defeat Renn in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, but want to kill this guy whose healing ability can be called a monster
Tsk tsk... I'm afraid you're thinking too much.
I'm afraid this bitch doesn't know that I'm not here to protect this guy, but simply to drink with him.
... ... .
Lilith threatened.
Bazel's expression remained normal, he didn't say anything and just drank by himself.
When he heard this, Ren narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Haha, really?"
What this vampire just said was not a joke. There was real killing intent in her Qi.
Although Renn is not the kind of person who is violent and merciless, he does not like to be threatened, so he said lightly: "I don't like to be threatened."
What's more, if you want to negotiate, you must also let the other party understand the status and situation of both parties.
"oh?"
Lilith raised her eyebrows, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "Little handsome boy... what do you like?"
Don't like it, so what
Even in front of Cavo Ramirez, who is known as "the best in the world", she dared to say the same thing.
She is an ancestor of vampires. Even in this Black Dragon City where there are many masters, no one can keep her!
Lilith was so confident that she even leaned closer to Ren's body, and a pair of soft bodies pressed against Ren's body without any concern.
She blew into Ren's ear again, as if a pair of fangs were about to bite Ren's neck, "Do you want to become my blood descendant? I can give you the most precious blood of the first generation prince..."
"Vampire? No..."
Hearing these words with a hint of spiritual charm, Ren shook his head.
After a pause, he said something meaningful, "Mrs. Lilith, times have changed..."
The next moment, an overbearing purple fighting spirit suddenly burst out.
Renn's eyes flashed, and he punched hard!
Without waiting for anyone to react, a beautiful and embarrassed figure quickly smashed through the wooden wall of the tavern.
Then, it crashed down across the street dozens of meters away.
In the ruins, Lilith looked at Ren in the tavern, her expression as if she had seen a ghost, and she shouted in her heart: "How is that possible!"
