The successive defeats of Bam and Jagger made Gooding suddenly famous, and he went from being a nobody to becoming a household name in the entire city of Ula.

As a philosopher said in the history of interstellar navigation: to judge what kind of identity and status a person has, we only need to look at what kind of friends he makes; And to judge what kind of achievements a person can achieve, we have to look at what kind of opponents he has.

Bam and Jagger are undoubtedly two very good opponents, making the name "Gulot" completely famous.

Gooding got his wish to get his spot in the preliminary round, but the rest of the competition continued in the next few days.

It wasn't until three days later that all the matches were finally over, and Gooding watched the rest of the games from beginning to end.

Jagger naturally got his wish, and with his soul strength, he didn't have any opponents except for Guding, a half-step true god level.

As for Bam, the lord of the city, Capuson, granted him a spot.

And the tsundere Kelsa was his father who helped him get a spot.

For the half-step True God level battle, Gooding only watched a few games and didn't continue to watch it, and instead looked at the True God level game.

Among the true god level, what Gu Ding cares about the most is the woman in the black robe, and that woman gives people an unfathomable sense of mystery. It's a pity that the woman got a spot in the preliminary round early, and Gooding didn't see her fight in the ring. However, those hand-to-hand fights of the sixth and seventh sequences are also a kind of adrenaline-pumping and pleasing show. It's just that for Gooding, there is not much reference effect.

After the screening, Capusen gathered everyone together and announced all the places for the preliminary round, with 3,000 people in each division. The three ranks add up, a total of 9,000 people.

Gulot's name is the first place in the middle rank. Although there were still people in the crowd with dissatisfaction, they still chose to accept this result silently, and the vast majority of people calmly admitted Guding's status as the strongest man.

Capuson, on the other hand, continued his pre-match speech.

"We've selected the best players of all time. I hope you will be able to participate in the martial arts tournament. Get good results and win glory for our Ulla city! If someone enters the top 10, no matter which rank they are, they will receive a generous reward from our Ulla City......"

Hearing this, Gooding couldn't help but consciously communicate with the Sea Emperor, "Does our ranking have anything to do with Ula City?" ”

"Yes, the top ten cities will receive massive resource rewards from the Heavenly God Palace. Especially in the first three, the rewards are beyond people's imagination! Here's why. Each city is carefully holding a screening tournament to select those powerful guys to participate in this martial arts tournament. The Sea Emperor's explanation finally made Gooding understand that Ula City spared no effort to do such a thing as a screening competition for a reward.

"Of course, there are two very important reasons why so many people participate in the martial arts conference. First, everyone who finishes in the top 10 can get access to a huge amount of cultivation resources. Second, everyone who finishes in the top three can get a chance to visit the Celestial God Monument from the Tenjin Palace. It is said that the Celestial Monument hides a secret that allows people to break through to the level of the Celestial God. This is also the main reason why so many powerful true gods flock to it. ”

"Heavenly God Monument ......" Gu Ding heard the news, and immediately looked forward to this martial arts conference. Originally, the purpose of his participation in the martial arts conference was just to kill the current palace master of the Heavenly God Palace. And now, he also wanted to know what kind of secret was hidden in the Celestial Monument.

"Early tomorrow morning, all the players who have won the preliminary round will gather here, and I will arrange for you to go to the Heavenly God Palace." Capuson's speech didn't take long to come to an end, and the crowd finally dispersed.

Gooding stood still. Communicated with the Sea Emperor again, "There is still an afternoon, where is it better to go shopping?" ”

"It is said that there is a barbecue restaurant in Ula City that is good, but the price is a bit high, and the ingredients are all god-level demon beasts." The Sea Emperor said. Imprinted the route into Gooding's mind.

"It doesn't seem far, less than three kilometers from here." Gooding checked the location and distance, and looked up in the direction where the kebab shop was.

At this moment, a fragrance wafted over from not far away, and Gu Ding turned his head to look, and the black-robed woman at the ninth sequence true god level actually walked towards him.

"I see that everyone else is gone, and you are alone here." The black-robed woman spoke faintly, her voice sounding very pleasant, and she didn't seem to be very old.

"I'm going to eat a barbecue." Gooding didn't quite know what the woman was looking for him, but he didn't care.

"Barbecue, I haven't eaten it in a long time, otherwise, I'll go with you?" The black-robed woman chuckled softly, her face still buried deep under the brim of her hat, making it difficult for Gooding to see it.

"Okay, I haven't eaten it in a long time." Gooding did not refuse the other party's request.

When the two of them walked all the way to the barbecue restaurant, it was already noon, and it was lunch time.

Under an open-air parasol, the two sat opposite each other at a small table with a menu.

Gooding quickly ordered what he wanted, but saw that the other party had not decided for a long time, "Whatever you want to eat, I will pay." ”

The black-robed woman hesitated, but only ordered a glass of juice and a dessert.

Gooding glanced at her menu, smiled and shook his head, "You're really going to save money." ”

"You're lucky, I'm not hungry for a while," the black-robed woman waved her hand and moved the menu aside.

Gooding handed the menu to the waiter, and the two fell into an awkward silence again.

Fortunately, the drinks of the two came relatively quickly, and they quickly found a common topic.

Looking at Milka in the Guding cup, the black-robed woman said with a smile, "I can't see that a man like you would drink such a drink that women don't drink." ”

"I think it's delicious, so why should I care what other people think?" Gooding grinned.

"That's just as well." The black-robed woman smiled and stared at Gu Ding for a long time, then she suddenly spoke again, "How did you think of participating in this competition?" ”

"I heard that the Celestial Monument hides the secret of promotion to the Celestial God level, so I want to check it out." Gooding gave a reasonable-sounding reason.

"It's as simple as that?" The black-robed woman asked with a smile.

"There's another reason, it's just not convenient to say." Gooding smiled and shook his head. "What about you? It should also be for the Celestial Monument, right? ”

"No," the black-robed woman shook her head, and her voice paused for a long time before she continued, "I'm looking for someone." ”

"Looking for someone? That person should be important to you, right? Gooding asked casually.

"So to speak," the black-robed woman was silent for a moment, but nodded.

The food ordered by the two was quickly served, and the two fell silent again.

Gooding feasted on the barbecue on the table, while the black-robed woman cut the dessert into small pieces with a knife and fork, slowly put it in her mouth, and then chewed it for a long time before swallowing it. It feels like they're on the same table, and the way the two eat is not the same style at all. One is rough and bold, and the other is noble and elegant.

This difference also caused many onlookers to watch from the next to them.

Gu Ding naturally didn't care, and the black-robed woman also looked very calm, and the two completely ignored the fingers and points of others.

This state lasted for nearly half an hour, and Gooding finished sweeping all the barbecue, and the black-robed woman also put down the knife and fork in her hand after him.

"Thank you for your hospitality, the dessert tasted great." After more than half an hour of silence, the black-robed woman finally spoke again.

In the past half hour, Gooding was stuffed with barbecue in his mouth, so it was inconvenient to speak, and the other party never spoke.

"Do you want another one?" Gooding always felt that eating a dessert that was less than half the size of a rice and half a palm would only make people hungrier.

"No, one is enough." The black-robed woman shook her head and stared at Gooding for a long time, when she suddenly spoke, "My name is Lilian." ”

"My name is Gulot." Gooding nodded and said his pseudonym.

"I know, I've watched your fights, and I think with your strength, if nothing else, you should be able to win the championship of the intermediate rank in the martial arts tournament." Lillian said bluntly.

"Thank you, I think you can also win the senior rank." Gooding spoke his mind.

"Why do you say that, can you see the strength of my combat power? But you're only a half-step true god. Lillian asked, a little curiously.

"Of course I can't see it, I just feel that way." Gooding shook his head, he was able to see the strength of other people's combat power, and he had never let outsiders know.

"Feelings? People with high soul strength do feel more sensitive than ordinary people. Lillian just muttered in a low voice, and didn't ask anything more.

After eating the barbecue, Lillian seemed to have something to do temporarily, and the two parted ways.

"This woman named Lillian is indeed a little weird." The Sea Emperor also gave his own judgment, "I inexplicably had lunch with you, and the reason I found was so far-fetched, saying that I hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, and I only ate a small dessert." And a dessert less than half the size of a palm, she actually ate it for more than half an hour. ”

"I don't know what her purpose is, but it looks like she didn't get the answer she wanted from me." Gooding was sure that his identity had not been revealed.

"Anyway, it's better to be careful. Once your identity is revealed, not only will you not be able to participate in this martial arts conference, but you will also be surrounded and suppressed by the world's powerhouses. The Sea Emperor reminded again.

"Don't worry, I'll take notice." Of course, Gooding didn't dare to let his guard down, he still had to stay in this world for many months, and before that, once his identity was revealed, it would bring endless trouble. (To be continued......)
