Flags are unfurled, drums are played.

Konstantin, the thirteenth emperor of the Bright Empire, slowly walked into the gladiatorial arena surrounded by guards and ministers.

This is a rare public exposure of the emperor in recent years, except for the slight pale face of the emperor, his actions are not unusual, and he is not as terminally ill as rumored by the outside world.

"The empire is mighty, the emperor is healthy!" As the emperor entered, the people in the audience cheered with the mountains and tsunamis.

With a faint smile on his face, Konstantin waved to the people on both sides.

It has been a tradition for the Emperor to participate in the finals of the Imperial Championship and to present awards to the Academy of Champions in person. After the finals, the emperor will also arrange a reception dinner for kings, envoys, and important ministers of the empire.

At this point, the seven-nation alliance in the situation is officially over.

As for the agreements and treaties reached between the empire and the kingdoms during the alliance, and what shady transactions and tricks were made, it is always a secret.

The vast majority of ordinary people don't care about this, and they are more interested in the matchup between the national academies than in politics.

In order for the emperor to attend the game, the official bleachers were completely emptied, leaving only the other three stands for the people to watch the game. Three thousand dragon scale guards and countless powerhouses poured into the arena to take charge of the guards, and the royal enshrined archmage even set up a temporary defensive magic array in the front stand.

The two finalist teams of the Death Academy and the Blood Yao Academy waited in the center of the venue early, and the game could only officially start after greeting the emperor.

The little witch Becky tiptoed to the center of the stands, "Is that old man in the middle the emperor?

"Except for the Bright Emperor Jialan Lot, these later Emperors rarely have powerful warriors and magicians. The emperor sits in the court, the general conquers all directions, and the powerful warriors and magicians of our human empire emerge in an endless stream, and there is no need for the emperor to go to the battlefield in person anymore. ”

Archmage Austin was in a very good mood today and patiently explained to Becky. Regardless of the outcome of this match, the Blood Glory Academy has exceeded its goal, and the Grand Mage's final task is to bring the students back safely.

"I think it's still the beast kings and elf queens who are more powerful, and their own strength is insufficient, and their positions are inevitably coveted. Arthur also muttered under his breath.

"Bastard, do you want to die? Can you say such a thing on such an occasion?" the Austin archmage reprimanded Arthur directly.

The teachers and students of the Blood Yao Academy are constantly making small moves. The students of the Death Academy next to him were all tall and tall, with cold eyes, like soldiers who were about to go to battle. The subtleties show how different the styles and educational methods of the two colleges are.

Imperial Prime Minister Gulnoro took the stage to deliver a speech and gave a eulogy of merit in public.

After the speech, the emperor tapped the specially prepared gong in front of him three times, and the final of the Imperial Elite Academy Championship officially began.

In the first game, Uka of the Death Academy VS Arthur of the Blood Academy.

"Fierce Beast" Uka is still bald, shirtless, with a huge beheading knife in his hand, and his eyes are cold without a trace of emotion. Uka is the undisputed first man in the Academy Championship, having gone undefeated in six of his matches, including the longest of the three solo matches that didn't last his opponent more than three minutes.

Arthur used to think that Huey, the "half-orc", was the most withdrawn guy, but Huey was completely normal compared to the "beast" Uka, who was a beast without any feelings.

What Arthur didn't notice was a hint of disappointment in Ukka's gaze as he looked at him. The opponent that Uka really wants to face is Huey, who suddenly broke out in the last game, and the strength of the school level is what Uka wants to challenge.

Compared to Wuka's sharpness, Arthur's performance in this tournament was not at all conspicuous. Arthur's two solo duels, one against Nolan College's Creech, relied on a magical comeback at the last moment, and the other against Marcus of Steel Rock Academy, which was also inexplicably won after a hard battle.

As a result, the outside world did not find out Arthur's true strength, and he barely made it into the top 10 in the personal power rankings, only ranking ninth, and even after Huey and Becky.

Although Ulla, who had been tempered through life-and-death battles, was a little disappointed, she did not despise Arthur at all. When the referee "starts", Uka pounces on him like a wind, and the beheading in his hand makes a perfect arc towards Arthur's neck.

The goshawk also needs all his strength to fight the rabbit, and Uka is a true warrior.

What's more, Arthur is not a rabbit either, Arthur's Starfall Greatsword slashes horizontally towards Uka's beheading broadsword, and the two huge blades collide head-on.

Arthur took two steps back with a shock in his hand, and the strength of the other party was indeed above his own.

The big knife in Wuka's hand was also bounced, but he quickly turned around, and the man borrowed the power of the knife, and the knife borrowed manpower, and the big knife slashed into an arc again and slashed towards Arthur.

Arthur adjusted his center of gravity from the collision of the previous knife, and the opponent's second knife immediately arrived, and Arthur had to raise his sword again to meet him.

This time, Arthur didn't dare to collide with Uka again, and jumped backwards with the force of the shock of the collision between the two sides.

Arthur retreated, and Uka raised his knife like a beast of prey, giving Arthur no respite.

After all, Arthur and Uka fought against each other by a level, and their strength and speed were not superior, and Arthur immediately fell behind as soon as the two sides fought.

Although Arthur has a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, he must go all out in the face of every knife of Wuka, and he can't spare time to cast spells at the same time.

Uka gave Arthur the same feeling as Hicks, the son of the lion king, a powerful sixth-level peak, and he was pressed and beaten in all aspects. But Arthur is not the Arthur of two years ago, although passive, but with his flexible body and watertight sword skills, he can still fight with Ukka.

After more than a dozen rounds of battling between the two sides, Uka also discovered this, and although the opponent was pressed by himself, he never found the opportunity to strike the fatal blow.

Wuka let out a low roar, there was a hint of excitement in his cold eyes, his strength and speed increased again, and the beheading knife in his hand was as fast as a knife, and the layers of knife shadows wrapped in fighting spirit pressed towards Arthur like a mountain of knives.

Arthur was overwhelmed by Uka's knife momentum, and suddenly let out a loud shout, and the Starfall Greatsword in his hand struck with all his strength, colliding violently with the beheading broadsword, although he staggered backwards, but also interrupted Uka's continuous offensive.

When Uka swung his knife and pounced again, Arthur's foot stomped into the ground and the "Earth Split" was activated, and a huge crack in the ground quickly stretched from Arthur's feet towards Ukka.

The sudden shaking of the ground made Wuka, who had pounced forward, unsteady on his feet, and his body shook and almost fell.

Arthur was waiting for this opportunity, his body volleyed forward, the giant sword in his hand slashed forward, and the fighting qi technique "Burst Flame Slash" came out majestically.

Uka only had time to raise his sword to block it, and the fiery red Douqi sword that burst open overwhelmed him.

The vindictive spirit dissipated, revealing Uka who was half-kneeling on the ground.

Uka stood up again, his bare chest covered with tiny scars from the explosion of fighting energy, and still slightly dripping with blood.

Arthur took a breath of cool air, the other party actually resisted his fighting skills with his flesh and blood, is this guy a monster?

Ulla wiped a handful of blood from her chest and licked it with her tongue, looking up at Arthur with a murderous gaze, "You me off!"
