Even in a place like the Realm of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, where the aristocratic clan system is very strict, everything is determined by the strength of the cultivator himself.
If the descendants of a noble are not practitioners qualified enough to inherit the title, the noble status will be withdrawn.
As long as a cultivator reaches the level of Glory Knight, even if he was just an unknown commoner before, he will definitely become one of the most respected nobles.
A just knight, no matter how bad he is, he is still a small town noble, and he has a place among the big forces.
"No wonder these people all look so 'noble'!"
Qi Ying stepped on Xisai and fell down, her eyes just passing by a group of strong men who had arrived at the palace.
They are all of the strength of the Knights of Glory, and there are one or two magicians among them. There are about less than twenty people, almost all of them are men. Everyone is wearing luxurious robes, their hair is combed very smoothly, and every expression and movement is... Showing the special sense of superiority as a noble.
In the realm of all nations, most of the powerful people in a kingdom are not actually in the royal city.
Due to the relatively decentralized centralization of power, they took away the largest number of powerful people from each province and each city.
Therefore, the strong men who come to Rex City to participate in the competition can be said to be local tyrants, and their power is much greater than the local nobles of Rex City.
Buzz!
The dragon's body fell to the ground.
James Rex, who had been waiting here, greeted him with a smile. After shaking hands with Qi Ying, he turned to everyone: "Everyone, I want to introduce to you, this is Mr. Qi Ying Adams. He is from Saint-Soulan. The Empire will also participate in the competition this time."
"Um?"
A burst of curiosity echoed around him.
"If I'm not wrong, this Mr. Qi Ying is just a young knight of justice, right? How can a knight of justice participate in the competition?"
"Yeah, it wouldn't be fun if you get hurt."
All the Glory Knights had obviously not heard about Qi Ying before.
They all subconsciously thought that he was just a young child from an ordinary noble family of the Saint Solan Empire who came out to play.
With his cultivation strength here, people didn't take him too seriously.
"Who is that beautiful lady?"
Many people's eyes were fixed on Alicia next to Qi Ying.
Almost everyone's eyes showed a glimmer of excitement, a young and beautiful Sun Mage, which is very uncommon in the realm of nations!
"She is my maid, her name is Alicia. Alicia, hello to all of you, sir."
Qi Ying said lightly.
Alicia immediately picked up the hem of her skirt and bowed to the people: "I have met you all, sir."
"Hiss..."
All the nobles suddenly looked at each other in confusion.
Many people's expressions changed immediately, and they all looked at Qi Ying with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
No one dared to underestimate a young master with a maid from the Sun Magister. People's eyes suddenly changed, and they all stepped forward to chat with Qi Ying.
"Hello… "
There were still a lot of people. Qi Ying shook hands with everyone politely and asked Alicia to observe the cultivation of these people.
"There are two magicians, a one-star Sun Mage and a four-star Sun Mage."
"There are currently thirteen Glory Knights with one to three stars. Not counting James, there are four Glory Knights with four to six stars. My competitors are those Glory Knights."
Qi Ying's spiritual thoughts focused on several glory knights with relatively strong auras, regarding them as their biggest potential opponents.
James smiled and said: "Mr. Qi Ying, I haven't seen you recently. When I saw you today, it seems that your fighting spirit has changed and you are not as restrained as before."
"I recently changed to a fighting qi technique, which is more obvious."
Qi Ying was slightly motivated, and fighting energy circulated in his body, allowing people to fully feel his aura.
There was a sound of admiration from the side, and a burly brown-haired man said: "This is the famous "Nine-turn Beast Emperor Technique"! It is one of the most difficult fighting skills to practice. The fighting spirit condensed is extremely powerful, so for The meridians of the body have very high requirements, and if they can't hold on even a little bit, the meridians will be severed. One of my cousins practiced the "Nine Transformations of the Beast King" forcibly, and the result was that his body was completely destroyed."
"It took me a lot of effort to practice the "Nine-turn Beast King Technique". This gentleman seems to know the fighting qi technique very well. He can see it at a glance."
Qi Ying said.
James immediately introduced: "This is Duke Banzol, a famous collector of fighting skills. He is not only a strong man in our Rex Kingdom, but also famous in the entire Holy Alliance! He is best at digging up knights. His strengths and weaknesses, his sharp eyesight, and he can often judge a person's strength with just a few glances."
"Your Majesty has promoted me. I am not a famous collector. I am just a hobbyist who likes to study fighting qi skills."
Banjol laughed.
"Nice to meet you, Duke Banjo."
Qi Ying nodded lightly. This Banzhuoer is a three-star glory knight and one of his potential competitors!
Banzhuoer stretched out his hand to Qi Ying: "I am also very happy to meet such a young and promising young talent like you. "Nine Transformations of the Beast Emperor" is a technique that I like to study very much, but I have not done it in these years. I have seen a few people who can cultivate it to a profound level. If you have time, I hope to see you demonstrate the power of the "Nine-turn Beast Emperor Technique"!"
Qi Ying shook hands with him: "Haha, then I also hope to have Mr. Banjoer evaluate the results of my cultivation!"
…
The strong men participating in the competition arrived one after another, and in the end, a total of twenty-four strong men came. Eighteen of them competed for two places from one to three-star glory knights, and six people competed for two places from four to six-star glory knights. Quota.
That night, the palace held another night banquet to welcome the strong men.
James publicly toasted with everyone, but secretly communicated closely with his subordinates: "Mars, you are back. What are the results of your investigation into the Adams family?"
"Your Majesty, I conducted my own investigation and asked people to search for it, but I have never heard of the Adams family after several inquiries!" Mars replied, "There are several families named Adams, but none of them are as you described. There is no one named Qiying Adams among the Adams family who is so powerful that they can’t leave.”
"How much did you find out about Qi Ying's origins?"
"My subordinates investigated the time when Marquis Ross came into contact with Qi Ying, and found that it was actually Lane City where Qi Ying arrived the day before they came to Rex City. Someone in the city saw Qi Ying and Alicia that day. Everyone thought that Qi Ying was Devil! Before, I didn’t know where Qi Ying and Alicia came from. I asked all the cities around Lane City, but I couldn’t find any trace of Qi Ying or Alicia.”
