Chapter 664: Levels of Spectating Area
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
Because the Dynasty Martial Competition today was a battle between the young geniuses of the various Empires, the Feng Clan didn’t attend in a large scale.
When Duan Ling Tian left the Feng Clan Estate, only Feng Wu Dao, Feng Tian Wu, and Elder Kong were by his side.
As for Grandma Xu, she instead stayed within the estate and didn’t come along.
After staying for over 10 days at Feng Wu Dao’s estate, Duan Ling Tian had obtained a certain level of understanding towards the situation in that estate, and he knew that Grandma Xu was an existence akin to a manager.
Food and household affairs were normally manager by Grandma Xu.
"Uncle Feng, where’s the Darkhan Dynasty’s Dynasty Martial Competition being held?" Duan Ling Tian who flew in the air looked at Feng Wu Dao by his side and asked.
"The Cage Battle Arena!" Feng Wu Dao spoke slowly.
"Cage Battle Arena?" Duan Ling Tian’s brows raised, and he was slightly surprised. "The Darkhan Dynasty has a Cage Battle Arena as well?"
"As well?" Feng Wu Dao shook his head when he heard Duan Ling Tian. "The Darkhan Dynasty’s Cage Battle Arena has existed since the existence of the Darkhan Dynasty… It can be said that the history of the Cage Battle Arena is the history of the Darkhan Dynasty."
"Presently, some Empires, Imperial Kingdoms, and Kingdoms under the Darkhan Dynasty had Cage Battle Arenas established in their Imperial Cities, and they are all copied from the Darkhan Dynasty." Feng Wu Dao finished with explaining with a single breath.
Duan Ling Tian came to a sudden understanding.
He was wondering earlier why the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom had a Cage Battle Arena and this Darkhan Dynasty actually had a Cage Battle Arena as well.
So it turned out that the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom’s Cage Battle Arena was a copy.
"So in this way… The Darkhan Dynasty’s Cage Battle Arena is probably backed by the Imperial Family?" Duan Ling Tian asked.
As far as he was concerned, since the Cage Battle Arena could be passed down to such an extent, it was presumably relying on an immovable ‘mountain,’ and that ‘mountain’ could only be the Imperial Family.
"Exactly." Feng Wu Dao replied, and he confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s guess.
"The Darkhan Dynasty’s Cage Battle Arena…" Now, Duan Ling Tian was slightly anticipating it.
After all, to a certain extent, the scale of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom’s Cage Battle Arena had shocked Duan Ling Tian all those years ago…
The Darkhan Dynasty’s Cage Battle Arena would undoubtedly be even more shocking.
All along the way, Duan Ling Tian was able to see many people flying over here as well.
These people were obviously coming to watch the show.
"Didn’t you say you yesterday that you weren’t interested in coming because it’s only the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition today?" A middle aged man that flashed past Duan Ling Tian’s side laughed as he looked at the companion by his side.
"Since I have nothing else to do, it isn’t bad to come witness the show of the young geniuses of the various Empires," said the latter.
"Today will surely not be as interesting as tomorrow… It’s even to the extent that, there are probably not even a few seventh level Void Initiation Stage young geniuses today." The former shook his head.
"Of course… This first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition is only a warm-up, and the interesting show starts tomorrow," said the latter.
Duan Ling Tian heard many similar discussions all along the way.
"Brother Duan." Elder Kong smiled a she looked at Duan Ling Tian and spoke slowly. "If it wasn’t for you participating in the Dynasty Martial Competition today. The Eldest Master, the Young Miss, and I might not come join in the fun at the Cage Battle Arena today."
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
This was something that wasn’t surprising to him.
Who were Feng Wu Dao and Elder Kong?
The Dynasty Martial Competition of a mere group of young geniuses from the Empires were unable to draw their attention.
As for Feng Tian Wu, amongst all the young geniuses of the various Empires, there were probably only a few people that could compare to her cultivation, and she naturally wouldn’t be interested with the Dynasty Martial Competition today.
"We’ve arrived." Not long after, Elder Kong’s voice entered into Duan Ling Tian’s ears.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian noticed that an exceedingly spacious field had appeared in the distance, and it was more than two times the size of the Cage Battle Arena in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
On this field was similarly an enormous cage that enveloped the field, and it caused one to be terrified by the sight of it.
"This is the Darkhan Dynasty’s Cage Battle Arena?" Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart, and his gaze moved from the arena to the surroundings.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian realized that the most distinguishing feature of the Darkhan Dynasty’s Cage Battle Arena wasn’t the extremely spacious field, but the surrounding spectating area.
When looked at from afar, the surrounding spectating area was divided into three levels.
The lowest level was like the spectating area in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom’s Cage Battle Arena, and it was like the seating in the cinemas of Earth in his previous life.
Of course, the seating in the cinemas faced a single direction, whereas, the spectating area here surrounded the entire Cage Battle Arena.
Presently, the surrounding spectating area were already almost filled with people, and when looked from afar, it looked like a dense patch of black.
"So many people!" Duan Ling Tian was surprised as he never imagined that the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition would be able to draw so many people.
At the edges of the Cage Battle Arena stood many exceedingly enormous stone pillars.
These stone pillars held up the nine spectating areas that floated in midair…. The seating on these spectating areas were comparatively few, and many seats were empty.
These seats were of a higher class, and they were made with first rate beast skin.
Moreover, at the side of these spectating areas were many armored soldiers standing all around like numerous gods of defense.
"Eh?" In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian saw a few groups of people flashing past the sky in a formidable array, and in the end, they split up and descended onto the spectating areas that floated in midair.
"King Yong!" Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were sharp and recognized the person in the lead of one of the groups of people.
It was precisely the Darkstone Empire’s King Yong.
As for behind King Yong, the two old men followed him like a shadow, and another nine young men followed behind the old men…
These people weren’t unfamiliar to Duan Ling Tian, as they were the group of people that had come to the Darkhan Dynasty with him.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian saw that after King Yong indicated his status to the soldiers, he brought along the 11 people behind him to sit at a corner of the spectating area and occupied that area.
"These spectating areas belong to the second-class spectating area." Elder Kong stood by Duan Ling Tian’s side and explained to Duan Ling Tian. "During the Dynasty Martial Competition this time, the representatives of the various Empires and the young geniuses they brought over will be seated at these second-class spectating areas. Besides that, the representatives and the young geniuses brought over by the ordinary powers of the Darkhan Dynasty will also be seated here."
Second-class spectating area?
Duan Ling Tian nodded and sighed rather emotionally in his heart. "In this world, everything is divided by grade, and the strong always occupy the best things."
"In this way… That’s the first-class spectating area?" Duan Ling Tian’s gaze moved up along the stone pillars that shot into the sky and looked at the spectating areas that were even higher.
The spectating areas here were similarly divided into nine, yet the seats in every single spectating area were extremely few, consisting of only a single row.
The seating of this spectating area was undoubtedly even more luxurious, and when the seating at the second-class spectating area was compared with the seating at the first-class spectating area, it was simply like a place where beggars sat.
"Exactly, this is the first-class spectating area." Elder Kong nodded. "Ordinarily speaking, this first-class spectating area is a place that only the higher-ups of the Imperial Family, our Feng Clan, the Zhang Clan, and the Ye Clan are able to bring others to sit."
"Of course, the experts in the Darkhan Dynasty are numerous like the clouds, and some formidable independent martial artists and existences with special statuses, like grade four Weapons Craftsmen, grade four Alchemists, and high grade Inscription Masters are able to bring others up there as well." Elder Kong spoke slowly.
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
"Let’s go!" Feng Wu Dao called out to Duan Ling Tian and the others before flying up and heading towards the first-class spectating area in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, their figures drew the attention of many people.
"Who’re they? They’re actually ascending to the first-class spectating area!" Some of the martial artists that sat in the third-class spectating area couldn’t refrain from exclaiming in shock.
"They seem to be unfamiliar faces… I don’t recognize them." Another person continued.
"Duan Ling Tian?" In the second-class spectating area, all the 12 people from the Darkstone Empire including King Yong had finally noticed Duan Ling Tian.
"I truly never imagined that Duan Ling Tian even had acquaintances in the Darkhan Dynasty. Moreover, the identities of those people are obviously extraordinary, especially that red robed middle aged man in the lead…" At the same time that Su Li was surprised, he couldn’t help but gasp.
The instant he saw the red robed middle aged man, his heart couldn’t help but shake, and it was as if the red robed middle aged man was a savage monster.
"This feeling… I’ve only felt it when facing Master and Martial Uncle Saber." Su Li was shocked in his heart. "There’s actually an existence that can compare to Master and Martial Uncle Saber in the Darkhan Dynasty?"
"No wonder Duan Ling Tian’s improvement was so swift all along the way… So it turns out that he’s acquainted with an expert like this." Now, Su Li thought that it was exactly because of obtaining this experts assistance that Duan Ling Tian possessed his shocking cultivation.
If Duan Ling Tian knew of Su Li’s current thoughts, he would surely be speechless.
At most, Feng Wu Dao had helped him comprehend Wind Concept a few days ago, and besides this, Feng Wu Dao didn’t provide any more help towards his cultivation.
Mo Xuan and the other young geniuses were similarly shocked.
Duan Ling Tian followed behind Feng Wu Dao and descended into one of the first-class spectating areas.
In next to no time, an armored soldier that stood on this spectating area bowed respectfully to Feng Wu Dao and Elder Kong. "Lord Wu Dao, Elder Kong."
Duan Ling Tian clearly saw the reaction of the soldier earlier.
After he saw Feng Wu Dao, the soldier’s eyes obviously revealed a slightly dazed expression.
But when he saw Elder Kong, it seemed as if he was suddenly enlightened and not only had he recognized Elder Kong, he even guessed Feng Wu Dao’s identity.
Feng Wu Dao nodded lightly, and then brought Duan Ling Tian along to sit at the side.
Presently, in the nine first-class spectating areas, only the spectating area with Duan Ling Tian’s group was occupied.
"Uncle Feng, I’ll go over first." Duan Ling Tian notified Feng Wu Dao and intended to join Kong Yong and the others.
After all, he had to participate in the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition today, and he was unable to purely be a spectator like Feng Wu Dao’s group of three.
"Go ahead, I’ll ask Elder Kong to place more Origin Stones on you." Feng Wu Dao smiled.
"Origin Stones?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
Subsequently, through Elder Kong’s explanation, Duan Ling Tian found out that the wager established for the first-class spectating area wasn’t gold and silver, but Origin Stones.
Of course, it was low grade Origin Stones.
