Deafening cheers filled the air as many spectators stood up and waved at the victor .
Qin people were skilled in martial arts, this was something understood by many . Such a duel brought about much exhilaration . If this fellow had dragged this battle out for an hour, everyone would feel that their tickets were worth less than one copper coin .
Londee was beyond excited, he had achieved victory in only twenty-five seconds . If no more than sixteen people broke his record in the following matches, it would mean that he could enter the finals directly .
By entering the finals, it meant that the city owner would gift him a set of presentable equipment, even if he took the last place . Warriors who entered the finals would enjoy priority when entering Metatrin city's main army, or they could opt to receive only the reward .
Londee never expected himself to be a candidate for this year's finals . As long as he succeeded he would choose to join the army .
There were many people like Londee in Qin . They could not look for a person to pledge their allegiance to, so they lived in poverty despite possessing mighty skills . Such people would surely not work as coolies or farmers . As a result, their lives became increasingly worse until the point where they could not even afford a proper weapon .
By joining the army, no matter how much they could earn, the nobles would pay for the damage of weapons . Londee would be extremely satisfied with such a result .
"This is so boring!" Nailisi yawned, a duel of this scale could not rouse her . She only needed five seconds to kill the skeletal crocodile, of which she had to use four seconds to get close to it . "No, I might finish this duel within three seconds . This fellow used twenty-five seconds and destroyed his own weapon, yet he still acted so smugly . "
Nailisi might have zero interest in this battle, but the spectators' intrigue was increasing exponentially . The second match started immediately . The first to appear in the arena was a human-like puppet .
Since Saleen wanted to sustain interest in the competition, he could not keep using spirits as the opponents .
He also did not have much interest in this competition because viewing such a competition was no longer very beneficial to him . The man guy who fought possessed pretty good explosive power, he could be recruited into the army . After training, he could take on the role of at least a squad leader . Being the ruler of a city, Saleen could not place emphasis on the fate of a squad leader .
On the raised platform, Saleen began chatting with the people around him again . Eleanor seized this chance to indoctrinate Saleen with the method of operating an arena .

The competition was progressing very quickly . In order to get into the finals, everyone used their mightiest abilities to shorten the time taken to secure victory . Londee was arranged to sit at the spectators' stand nearest to the raised platform, feeling perturbed as he watched the fights .
Each competitor was very powerful . Due to Londee's extraordinary performance, his name was still among the top three positions . One competitor was too focused on winning that he injured his thigh and was rescued off the arena . If it was not for the many soldiers and mages watching the battle, that fellow might have been devoured by the magic beast .
In the future, there would be many people like that . Sooner or later, some competitors could not be saved in time . It was only a matter of time before deaths occurred .
As the sky was getting dark, hundreds of magic lamps got lit in the area above the arena . The back of these magic lamps were smothered with mercury, causing the colossal arena to be very bright, as though it was still daytime .
The magic nuclei marketed by Saleen were already segmented beforehand . Saleen possessed a huge quantity of magic nucleus shards, they were the scraps produced from the segmenting process and their sizes were insufficient to conform to the standard unit size .
It was extremely perilous to use such magic nucleus shards during battle, but it was very economical to use these items for illumination .
Under the lighting of the magic lamps, the last competitor entered the arena . The already tired spectators grew exhilarated once again because a female mage had emerged this time around .
In the sky above the arena, the magic array had clearly depicted the appearance of the female mage to the spectators . This female mage was very beautiful and she looked very young as well . She was clad in a gray magic robe, which meant that she was a grand mage .
It was unbelievable that a grand mage had participated in such a competition .
As long as these freelancing mages went to look for Daniel, they could immediately become part of Metatrin City after passing a lie detector test . She did not need to take such risks . To the Qin people, a mage was noble, way nobler than the nobles .
Even Saleen's curiosity was piqued, "What is a mage doing in such a competition?

Beside the raised platform, the first participant Londee was very jittery . He was already ranked sixteenth on the list . If this female mage beat his timing, then Londee would not enter the finals .
This female mage walked to the center of the arena, taking out a gray magic scroll, then released it straightaway .
Saleen's Elemental Eye clearly noticed that it was a level-6 magic scroll .
This female mage was definitely a lunatic . Even if she won the competition, the prize was a mere one-hundred gold coins, yet she was going to consume a level-6 magic scroll which was valued at a few thousand gold coins!
"Who is that woman?!" Saleen asked the people around him .
"I don't know . Master, I think that this woman has ulterior motives, she wants to infiltrate our mage's platoon!" Nailisi replied .
Other than a monetary reward, the champion of the first competition could directly become a member of Metatrin Kingdom's palace guards . A career like a palace guard was in fact the core offensive power of a nation .
Take for example the imperial swordsman's camp in Qin, its offensive power was undoubtedly the strongest in Qin . There were countless of swordmasters in it . Full magic equipment allowed the imperial swordsman's camp to carry out difficult battles for protracted durations . Each swordsman inside could become a commander when placed in a normal army .
Saleen did not build a palace, he had built a temple, so that he could conceal the underground planar teleportation portal .
"Impossible, every mage knows that they have to pass a magic test if they want to gain access to any vital secret in Qin . It is not possible for spies to infiltrate the palace . "
"Sir, I think this mage isn't a Qin person . "
"What do you mean?" Saleen noticed that Eleanor was staring at that female with great interest .

"You will find out very soon . "
When the female mage entered the arena, she already discovered the target and had released a level-6 magic scroll, she did not even wait for the emcee to make introductions .
The scroll contained a very mighty earth spell; the Fire Enchantment spell .
In the destruction caused by the Fire Enchantment spell the unfortunate magic beast, a gigantic boa which had come from the demonic plane, was killed by that female mage instantly .
This female mage had actually cast an intermediate instantaneous peeping spell at the moment she entered the arena, thus locating the position of the gigantic boa . The person under the stage only reacted after she cast the scroll .
"Ah… this! The last person to enter the arena is . . . a grade-5 mage from the Tanggulasi Empire, Isabella!"
The whole arena fell silent .
A person from the Tanggulasi Empire had actually appeared in Metatrin City!
"Isabella, this name is a little familiar!" Recently, Saleen had been training earnestly . Hearing this name abruptly, he could not recall anyone in particular .
"Sir, this is a bandit mage . " Nicholas did not know whether to laugh or cry, as he introduced the mage to Saleen .
This Isabella was indeed from the Tanggulasi Empire, but she had been on the wanted list for a long time now . The bandit gang formed by her only had over one-hundred people . It had robbed houses across Tanggulasi Empire, wreaking havoc for more than three years .
She was a person from Tanggulasi and she was still in a bandit gang . Saleen began experiencing a headache .
"Master, no matter her background, I will make sure she becomes compliant when she falls into my hands," Nailisi commented while standing behind Saleen .
Londee was greatly dejected, "This female mage is simply crazy, fancy using an expensive scroll the moment she appeared . She is so rich, why did she have to vie for a spot with a poor bloke like myself . "
The more Londee dwelled in his thoughts, the more indignant he felt, he was on the brink of tears already . Unexpectedly, Saleen had turned his head aside while in contemplation, and his gaze fell on Londee's expression . With a simple inference, Saleen understood why this swordmaster had a lifeless expression .
"This Londee is pretty smart . Even though he is poor, he didn't turn into a bandit . He is capable and isn't too old either . " Feeling compassionate, Saleen said, "Tolesi, go and tell the first participant that I have recruited him, ask him to report to the sixth camp . Mm, give him a suitable set of equipment too, it has to be at the level for a squad leader . "
Hosting the competition was a team of twenty-four people . Half of it was made up of magic disciples while the other half was swordmasters . The two leaders were a grand mage and a Zun Grand Swordmaster . These people had come from Sregl Island . Very soon, the two emcees had reacted . The grand mage continued using the Sound Transmission Magic Array, announcing to the audience, "Isabella from the Tanggulasi Empire has won with a time of one second, she is in the finals!"
Londee had already stood up, he was yearning to hear the emcee chase this Tanggulasi person out . Contrary to his wishes, this Tanggulasi person had entered the finals .
On the raised platform, Saleen had already predicted that this female mage would achieve the pole position . None of the participants were grand swordmasters .
"A grade-5 mage possessed an absolute ability to suppress in the face of a grand swordmaster . Especially because this mage isn't short of money, she can use scrolls recklessly just like me . "
Londee slumped back into his chair, crestfallen, leaning against it weakly . At this point in time, Tolesi walked towards him .
Tolesi still had the appearance of a woman, he was helpless . Even Cuisi, who had advanced to a supreme demon, did not dare oppose Nailisi .
Pointing, Tolesi said, "Londee, follow me . "
Londee was stunned, he did not recognize Tolesi, and Tolesi did not have the scent of an expert either . This lady was dressed luxuriously and her demeanor was imposing though . Subconsciously, Londee stood up and glanced to his left and right . The sixteen people to enter the finals had been selected, there was no point in him remaining there .
Confused, Londee followed Tolesi into a sealed room, then Tolesi said, "Londee, my master wishes to tell you that you can join the sixth camp . Go sign up with Daniel, this is the equipment for you… and here are ten gold coins . "
Tolesi took out ten gold coins on his own initiative, placing them on the table in the room .
