New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 1321 Fourth round begins

Among the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage, the three protectors of the Purple stone world are the strongest beings. So, even though the contest is hosted by the Flerton family, they had to follow some set of rules laid down by them.

The reason why the protectors set such a rule to threaten the young participants was to test the courage and confidence of the young participants.

For cultivators, courage and confidence are both needed to reach the higher realms in their cultivation journey and if they could not even handle such a simple threat, then it was better for them to eliminate sooner in the contest.

ʼThis will reduce the number of matches which will affect my gambling business.ʼ

King Louie looked at the number of the participants backing down with such a simple warning as his heart ached because his profits from the gambling business will also go down along with it.

Thatʼs right!

The Flerton family also has the gambling den which allows everyone to put their bets on the individual fights of the fourth round and it was the most profit-making business for him during the contest.

Time continued to pass and the number of participants reduced from 100 to 60 after hearing King Louieʼs words.

”King Louie, looks like no one will back down from the contest anymore. Letʼs start the fourth round.”

After waiting for a while, the protectors gave permission for King Louie to start the fourth round.

”Yes, protectors.”

King Louie nodded his head; however, he cursed the three protectors for making him suffer losses.

Nevertheless, he was in no position to show his dissatisfaction as he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face.

”Those who backed can go follow my familyʼs minister and collect your reward.”

Hiding his pain under a happy look, King Louie asked the 40 participants who decided to voluntarily leave the contest, to collect the reward.

”Thank you, your majesty.”

The 40 young participants were excited as they respectfully bowed to King Louie before following the old minister to the Flerton familyʼs mansion.

”Now, there are only 60 young participants who are brave and confident in their skills standing in front of me.”

After the 40 young participants left the colosseum, King Louie said a few words with his majestic charm as he continued, ”For a cultivator, both courage and confidence are much needed than anything in their cultivation journey. Without them, even if you have the talent, it will be useless.”

The young participants listened with serious looks…at least they had serious looks on their faces.

”I will not waste any more time as our protectors are very busy. Letʼs officially start the fourth.”

King Louie looked at the 60 young participants as though they were the golden ducks that were ready for him to make money.

”As you already knew that the fourth round was filled with individual fights, let me tell you a few rules.”

For any round, there should be some rules; otherwise, the powerful cultivators would make a fuss and blame the Flerton family for being unfair while conducting the contest.

”Your escape space rings will decide who you will be fighting in the fourth round. In this round, from the 60 young participants, only 15 participants will be qualified for the fifth round.”

”In the first part of the fourth round, 30 participants will be knocked out and in the second part, 15 more participants will be knocked out.”

”I can see there are some non-summoners among the 60 participants; however, they will not get any special privileges when fighting against the summoners.”

”However, for summoners, there is the only rule for the fourth round that they could only summon three of your registered elemental spirits.”

”The last rule of the fourth round is, as long as your opponent says ʼI lostʼ, you will refrain from attacking the opponent. In case you still attacked the opponent, you will be eliminated from the contest while imposing others punishments.”

In a single go, King Louie announced all the rules and regulations of the fourth round of the contest.

”So, if you donʼt have any doubts, letʼs begin the fourth round.”

Even though King Louie said that he didnʼt bother to wait for the young participants to ask something as he looked at one of the ministers working under him.

”Swoosh”

All of a sudden, the escape space rings in the fingers of the young participants shone with a bright light before releasing a light ray that got paired with another light ray emitted by the escape space ring of another young participant.

”Those who got paired by the light rays come together and stand side by side.”

Once the process had been completed, King Louie looked at the 60 young participants and asked them to stand side by side.

”Yes, your majesty.”

Nodding their heads, all young participants stood in pairs.

”There will be 30 fighting arenas in the secret realm you entered yesterday. Each pair will be sent to one fighting arena.”

King Louie waved his hand and third portals opened in front of 30 pairs of the young participants as he asked them to enter the portals.

”And finally the fourth round begins officially.”

In the end, King Louie shouted out loud and the entire colosseum followed him in shouting.

ʼAll the best, everyone.ʼ

ʼYou will win as long as you go all out against your opponent. So, donʼt take too much stress and give your best.ʼ

ʼSister, you need to give up if you feel like your opponent is very strong without any hesitation. Do you understand?ʼ

.

.

.

All the young participants transmitted their voices to their friends who matched with others.

ʼLooks like we are lucky.ʼ

As for Ajax and others, they heaved a sigh of relief when they didnʼt get paired with their friends.

ʼMaybe the pairing is done based on the provinces.ʼ

This was the only conclusion that Ajax and others came to after checking their opponents.

Among the 60 young participants in the fourth round, 22 of them were from the Zrochester province, making a huge fuss among the powerful cultivators from the other provinces.

From the 22 participants, 11 of them were paired with the participants from Ylercester province and the other 11 of them were paired with the participants from Xacaster province.

ʼYeah. It looks like it.ʼ

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement as they looked at the three masked young men whom they have never met.

ʼBy the way, who are these three young men? They are definitely from the Zrochester province and they even participated in the championʼs contest conducted by the Draton family in our province.ʼ

Lewis and others looked at the three masked young men and instantly recognized they participated in the championʼs contest too.

ʼThey are already powerful in the championʼs contest. I wonder how much they are right now.ʼ

Paulin raised his brows as he was curious about the strength of the three young men from the Zrochester province.

ʼAnyway, for now, letʼs focus on our opponents. Everyone, letʼs give our best.ʼ

Even though they knew that some of them would be eliminated in this round, either in the first part or the second part, they decided to give their best.

ʼYeah. Goodluck.ʼ

Soon, everyone started jumping into the portals along with their opponents.

ʼBrother Jason, shall we not meet Ajax even now?ʼ

ʼNope. Elder Baron said not to talk with Ajax until we are out of the contest.ʼ

ʼSigh…we are very close to him; however, we canʼt let him know about us.ʼ

ʼI donʼt know why the Elder Baron is opposing us from meeting Ajax though.ʼ

ʼYou two, for now, letʼs focus on our fight. Damon, donʼt you want to find your lover? We need to prove ourselves by entering the top 15 before the Elder Baron sends us to that world.ʼ

ʼAnyway, we are going to see Brother Ajax today and he will be very happy to see us.ʼ

As for the three masked young men, they are having their own discussion before jumping into the three different portals.

They were none other than Jason, Damon and Hector from the Silver orphanage.

…..

Once again, the flying mirrors started their duty of projecting what was happening inside the secret realm.

However, compared to before, this time, there were only 30 fighting arenas to cover.

”I didnʼt expect Prince Diego to be paired with Prince Daphne in the first part of the fourth round itself.”

Almost all the powerful cultivators were surprised that the pairing between Diego and Daphne would happen so soon.

”I wonder who will win.”

”Who else? Of course, Princess Daphne will win.”

”Shall we bet on the winner then?”

As the powerful cultivators, the items they bet would be not some normal items and everyone was interested to see what they were betting.

”Everyone, you can use the Gamble den of Flerton family to place your bets.”

As for King Louie, he didnʼt forget to promote his business even when his son and future daughter-in-law were about to fight.
