Chapter 996: Jin Miaolins Rating
As the matchmaking tournament approached, the atmosphere in the Ancestral Court became lively once more.
As the saying goes, sharpening your spear the moment before battle is better than no sharpening at all. Almost a gross of the strongest beings alive had already gathered in the Ancestral Court to prepare for the competition. The streets began to bustle again.
After a few quiet days, the White Tiger Grand Hotel returned to full capacity. Even so, the Blue Gold Tree clan flaunted its wealth and dominance, booking an entire floor of the hotel for all of its elders.
Tang San, naturally, was staying in the largest suite on that floor.
In the past few days, he had only met Mei Gongzi once. The sword intent of the Asura Sword had fully merged with the Shadowfiend Sword, so the Asura Shadow Sword now fully deserved its new name. Mei Gongzi now needed time to adapt to the new weapon. Mastering the significantly enhanced sword wasn't easy. Melding its power with her own cultivation and wielding it effectively required practice. But even so, the fusion had also caused her strength to grow dramatically, pushing her cultivation near the peak of the eleventh order. Moreover, it had also intensely stimulated her White Tiger bloodline, enhancing its power and the God-Killing Domain.
Tang San remained at the White Tiger Hotel to cultivate as well. His cultivation was far more complex, requiring constant adjustment and balancing of multiple bloodlines, fusing their powers and refining his combat techniques. He also needed to continue nurturing the two divine weapons he had obtained for use in the tournament.
Ten days passed in a flash.
The long-anticipated moment for the people of the Ancestral Court had finally arrived—the start of the matchmaking tournament was here.
Early in the morning, the Grand Elder of the Blue Gold Tree clan waited beside their new carriage.
One thing was for certain: After the auction, the Blue Gold Tree clan's status in the Ancestral Court had clearly risen. Though other clans still regarded them as unfit for combat, no one could deny their overwhelming wealth. While they weren't necessarily the biggest profiteers of the auction, they were certainly the most extravagant.
