Armipotent

Chapter 1732  Total Domination (3)

Valterri had already surrendered as Zaneos spoke to him. A protective barrier formed around Valterri, pushing Zaneos' feet away. Then the limbless man was teleported out of the battleground. It was another one-sided battle won by the team from the Tang Empire.

Zanoes made a name for himself, a Demon Swordsman. It was the same title when he was a spirit. People called him a Demon Swordsman too now.

On the other side, Ashley approached the battle methodically. She held the Demi-God Rank while her team weeded out the other three. Two knights from Faith and Order were killed, and one managed to surrender in time, leaving the Demi-God Rank from Faith and Order.

Moonsong killed the head of the Order of Faith, and there were two knight orders in Faith and Order. The second was the Order of Justice. The one who currently faced Ashley was the head of the Order of Justice Knight.

He was aware that his team members were getting cornered, but he used them as bait. He wanted his team to buy him time to kill Ashley, but soon he realized that killing Ashley in such a short time was impossible.

It was now six against one, and he was not that stupid to try to fight this out when he could not gain an advantage against Ashley. The head Order of Justice surrendered.

He floated in the air as a protective barrier surrounded him. Looking down at Ashley, he did not forget to say his last words, "Consider yourself lucky. You will die if it's one against one!"

Ashley did not take the words seriously. The first thing she did was to check whether her team got injured. After making sure everyone was fine, she decided to take a rest before going to the center area.

"I understand now why he asked me to kill them. They are quite annoying."

Twenty-one teams remained after two teams were eliminated. The teams maintained their status quo, not willing to come out from their original area, and became a target for many teams.

Moonsong's team was the first team to enter the center area. He swept the border, and after making sure no one was close to him then he walked to the center area.

The map in the dome showed that Moonsong's team was the first one to walk to the center. The champion of the tournament walked with no fear. Not because they knew they had won the tournament, but because they were confident in their ability. The participants did not know their total points, so they did not know the winner had been decided with the points.

Everyone still assumed that they could still win the tournament with the placement. Alas, even if Moonsong's team surrendered right now, they still won the tournament.

His decisive tactic to hunt the other teams from the start bore the fruit. Added with his luck to be placed in the forest area. It was as if Moonsong's team was set up for success.

Moonsong's team was not attacked because they were the only team from the forest area. The other teams from the same area had been eliminated by them. That was why this team came up on top.

The other teams also started to come out from their respective areas because the sea of lava was coming closer. The remaining twenty-one teams converged in the center of the island, the last arena for them.

However, the last two battles already told the spectators the end game for the tournament. Even to the last moment, no one could defeat the team from the Tang Empire. In the end, it was just another show for The Tang Empire which was the strongest faction on Earth.

The fierce battle broke out between the big factions which was still good entertainment for the spectators even though they all knew who the winner was. The battle brought casualties for the factions because they tried to win the tournament.

For other factions, winning the tournament might help them shorten their gap with The Tang Empire. One Myth Treasure Chest and six Epic Treasures Chests are worth a lot in their eyes. That was what they fought for.

Alas, their struggle to win the tournament was futile because the last three teams to survive were still the teams from the Tang Empire.

After three hours of battle, three teams remain. Three teams from the same faction, The Tang Empire. When everyone thought the tournament was over, the three teams clashed.

People expected that two teams would surrender and let one team take the win but no. The three teams battled it out until the end when the winner was the last one on the battleground.

Ashley twisted her left hand and broke her right leg. Zaneos was down, losing his right arm, but Moonsong was not unscathed. He knelt on the ground with many burnt marks on his body.

Ashley was the first one to step out and surrender. Then Zaneos admitted defeat as well. Even with the combination between him and Zowen, they failed to win the final battle.

The breathtaking battle broke a deep silence in the dome. No one said anything after watching how the three teams from the same faction fought. No one died during the last battle, but it felt like a life-and-death battle.

"We need to talk with them after this! They don't have to go that far for the final battle," Zhang Mengyao had returned from the meeting four hours ago.

The talk with the Duchy of Michalina went smoothly, but she won't say a single thing about the meeting. She said they would talk about it later after the tournament. Even though she understood the feelings of the three teams, she still disagreed with what they did in the tournament.

"It must be because of the reward you promised them. Or else, there's no reason for them to go to that extent! They almost killed each other for equipment!"

Those three people successfully angered Zhang Mengyao for what they did. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The display screen congratulated Moonsong's team for winning the whole tournament, and then the screen turned off. The last ten surviving teams were teleported into the middle of the dome.

The small factions on the first floor stood up and clapped for the ten teams. Despite the casualties in the tournament, people still cheered for the tournament. Especially for the last fight.

 Of course, not everyone could accept their defeat well. The Faith and Order for example. The last team from the Faith and Order was slaughtered by The Tang Empire. When Zaneos and Moonsong worked together, they did not give a chance for them to surrender.

The Faith and Order lost two main pillars in one tournament. Amidst the cheers and claps, the Faith and Order stormed out from the dome.

The System immediately distributed the rewards. The ceremonial award was just for the ten top teams, and the remaining teams got their reward directly sent into their respective inventory.

Ashley's team, Zaneos' team, and Moonsong's team came up to the second floor after receiving their reward. They joined the main group, and the three team leaders immediately realized that they were in trouble the moment they met with Zhang Mengyao's gaze.

Even though the wound from the last battle had healed. Even though they were all sound and healthy, Zhang Mengyao was not going to let them go so easily.

The Supreme General brought the three team leaders to the room behind their seats for an earful scolding. She made sure that they would not repeat the same thing again.

As for Tang Shaoyang, he did not mind what they were doing. It was not like they did it daily. They went that far just because this was a special occasion. It was not an issue if it was just once in a while. He totally understood their feelings.

Tang Shaoyang looked at her daughter. He expected Tang Xiulan to sleep during the tournament, but the little girl watched the fight to the end. He sometimes covered her eyes each time the fight became too gruesome for her to watch.

"Is it just me, or does my daughter seem to like the fight?"

Tang Xiulan looked up at her father when she heard him. As if she understood her father's words, she nodded.

That left Tang Shaoyang speechless, realizing that bringing her to watch the tournament might be a big mistake. He sensed the glares from Tang Xiulan's mothers on his back. He needed to look for an excuse before he also got an earful just like Zaneos, Ashley, and Moonsong.

Fortunately, he noticed the leaders from the other big factions were approaching his seat. It was obvious that they were coming to congratulate him. He usually disliked this kind of formality, but he took the chance to escape from Tang Xiulan's mothers. Handing Xiulan to Ava, he signaled to them that he would receive these people.

The first one to come was Herman Bonivido, the man who was defeated by Moonsong. He accepted his defeat well and congratulated Tang Shaoyang for winning the second Earth Tournament. The other factions followed in tow after Herman.

That concluded the second Earth Tournament. Next was The World Congress.
