The city of Sparta, which had been quiet for a long time, was in chaos and turbulent due to the strong attack of the Edra family. It's like a stone falling into a stream, and the waves splash and the water ripples.

Butian lived in his own courtyard for two days to recuperate from his injuries, and after the assassination, Count Warren obviously began to pay attention to Butian's safety.

Around the courtyard, there are guards who change shifts every day, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, nothing more than this. Even when Butian occasionally goes out, there will be two teams of escorts following him.

And since she learned that Butian was assassinated, Wendy rushed to the scene as soon as she could.

The little girl's cute blue eyes were even full of worried mist swirling in her eyes, and she asked about Butian's injuries in an anxious tone.

Wendy's concern made Butian feel very warm, but after experiencing that conversation with the third lady, he subconsciously avoided Wendy's tender gaze, and even deliberately distanced himself from her.

Although it was very uncomfortable to do this, he didn't know what to do now, he was at a loss, and he didn't know what attitude he should take towards Wendy.

Wendy is very sensitive, so she naturally noticed Butian's deliberate estrangement, and faintly felt that Butian seemed to have some resistance to her affection, which was an extremely congested feeling. Her fragile heart couldn't bear this inexplicable grievance, and it felt like the dark clouds in the sky were all pressed down and heavy.

"Does he not like me?

Is Mom right? Men are fickle hearts, and their liking for a woman doesn't last long, and Brent is the same way?

What should I do? He doesn't like me, what should I do, should I get him back? Crying to get him back?"

Wendy's thoughts were messy and sad, this was the first man she had liked, but was this about to end?

Until the end, Wendy still suppressed the panic and sadness in her heart, she forced a smile, comforted Butian, and told him to recover well with concern.

The little girl's face was a little pale, and there was no pure and happy smile on her little face, and her smile was so far-fetched, and her smile was a little bitter.

Is this the helplessness of falling in love with someone?

Even if your heart is bitter, the heart you give to your loved ones is still sweet. Maybe when he opens his heart one day, he will find that what I give is sweetness, but what I collect is bitterness.

The third day passed very slowly, and the time seemed to be asleep, forgetting to keep running, forgetting the day and night.

Butian sat on a rockery in the courtyard in a daze, his expression was complicated, sometimes laughing, sometimes melancholy.

There was a memory in his gaze, and it was a joyful experience. But there is a kind of sadness in the hearts of those who remember, this sadness is silent, but it is like joy revealed in sorrow.

He didn't know if he was right or wrong to do this. But when he made this choice, it had already hurt Wendy and hurt the feelings between them.

But if he doesn't, he will be uneasy and continue to develop with Wendy, which is to push her into the fire pit. Let her be caught in the dilemma of her relatives and lovers, and her heart is like a knife.

Love is selfless, but Butian's seemingly selfless act is so selfish.

He thought it was for Wendy's own good, so that she would avoid a dilemma in the future. But he didn't take into account that his seemingly well-intentioned act also hurt her, and it was more direct and painful.

Love is a matter of two people, and it is difficult to do it alone, and you can never guess what the other party thinks. Even if you have a tacit understanding, people's minds often change unexpectedly, and Butian is to solve the affairs of two people, one person privately, without worrying about what Wendy will think.

This is selfish, a relationship, after the first spark-like attraction, from the then like water lingering growth, until the wind and rain, several waves of noise washed it all over the body, and then experienced the warm and sunny understanding and tolerance to heal the wound.

Such an unsustainable relationship is more and more precious in the ups and downs, but Butian hastily cut it into a serious injury, and it hurts himself, and his loved ones also hurt.

But happiness is known by both hearts, and pain is suffered by both hearts.

Except for Wendy's visit to his condition two days ago, the little girl's figure did not appear on this day.

Butian felt Wendy's sadness, looking at the little girl's soft and weak mournful appearance, he couldn't help but want to comfort her many times. But when the words came to his mouth, he didn't have the courage to say them, so he could only watch Wendy leave with a gloomy expression.

Until after dusk, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the night arrives as promised.

His expression was confused at first, but gradually, his eyes became brighter and brighter, like bright stars emitting a scorching light.

Strong, strong, this is the only way he can save himself, only if his own strength is strong enough, he can control his own destiny and protect his own happiness.

The day passed.

When the first rays of winter sun fell on the earth and the three-day recuperation period ended, the Spartan City seeding tournament arrived as scheduled.

On this day, Sparta was more lively than ever, and people flocked to the Arena of Aris early, crowding the main entrance square of the Arena.

Aristocrats, warriors, wealthy merchants, commoners.

These four kinds of people, who are usually difficult to get together, represent the strictness and authority of the class.

But today, these people gathered together, although they were divided into large and small circles, it was also a rare grand scene.

More people means lively, it means business opportunities.

The Thundering Chamber of Commerce decisively seized this business opportunity and sent people to set up a gambling game at the entrance of the Aris Gladiatorial Arena and open a gambling plate to make huge profits.

Everyone has a gambling nature, but it can be big or small.

As soon as the casino of the Thundering Chamber of Commerce opened, many people flocked to it, buying less for fun, and buying more for greed and luck.

With such a huge force as the Thundering Chamber of Commerce as the host, they are not worried about the gambling funds being swallowed at all.

Time passed slowly, the sun was getting higher, and the dozens of gates of the gladiatorial arena suddenly opened, revealing the passage leading to it, and those who could not bear it had begun to walk inside.

By the time the Aidra family's carriage arrived at the aristocratic parking lot of the Aris Colosseum, it was less than an hour before the seeding began.

At this time, the crowd in the Aris Gladiatorial Arena has also shrunk by more than half, most of them have entered the gladiatorial arena, waiting for the start of the game, and the few people who are stranded here are either gathered in the casino of the Thundering Chamber of Commerce, or chatting about something.

When the carriage stopped, Bu Tian and the others got out of the carriage and walked into the square. Today, their group has increased, and the number of escorts has increased to 12 people, probably because Bu Tian was assassinated, so Earl Warren was so careful and carried out more perfect security measures.

The sudden arrival of such a large number of people naturally attracted the attention of many parties.

All kinds of glances swept in, with different expressions, or fearful and vigilant, or worried and fearful, but there was no one who dared to provoke.

In recent days, the Edra family's big moves have already made the people of Spartan City panic.

The two small forces that were unfortunate enough to be destroyed sounded a wake-up call to everyone, and they all knew that this was a terrible monkey, so as to warn everyone that the majesty of the Edra family could not be violated.

Wendy walked in the middle of the line with her little head down, she didn't have the joy and liveliness she had when she first arrived, and she didn't say anything. The little girl looked depressed and had a sad face, and in just two days, she was more than half haggard.

Bu Tian walked silently in front of the team, Count Warren seemed to notice something, and looked at Bu Tian and Wendy with a hint of inexplicable look.

Bill, the vulture-faced, followed behind the crowd with a gloomy face, not knowing what sinister thoughts were going on in his head.

After walking in silence, everyone was on the stand.

The rules and methods of the Spartan City seeding tournament are very different from the previous rounds, and the selection tournament is conducted in the form of individual matchups.

The eight champions of the first eight rounds of the challenge plus the first place in the knockout round, a total of nine contestants will face off.

Adopt a point system, win one person to get one point, on the contrary, lose a game minus one point, draw points do not add or subtract, to the final nine points to determine the ranking, take the top three to advance.

In other words, the full score is eight points, and Butian has to face off against the other eight contestants. One point is awarded for one win, one point is minus one point for one loss, until all eight games are played, and he is ranked according to the final points he earned.

This kind of individual duel completely eliminates the possibility of luck, and it is not because a competitor's opponent has always been lucky to someone with lower strength, and thus goes to the end.

It's all about strength.

Of course, if there are two contestants with the same number of points, then the winners and losers of the previous duel between the two sides will be ranked, and the previous duel will be ranked first, and vice versa.

Butian has already learned the rules of the seeding tournament from Locke, and there is not much pressure on this competition. He is confident in his own strength, even if it is difficult to win the first place in the competition, the top three places are still full of confidence.

Before that, Count Warren had given Butian the details of all the contestants and told him to study and watch them carefully.

The other eight contestants, except for Renault Butian, who knew something, he was not familiar with the other seven.

After looking at the information carefully, the eight contestants, Renault uses a long knife, and his strength is at the peak of the low-level 2, and he has more than three low-level 2 skills. His strength is the strongest among many competitors, and people's calls for him to win the championship are also the highest.

Of the other seven contestants, three of them caught Butian's attention.

A young man named Kalando, whose strength is at the lower level 2, has at least one low-level 2 skill. The speed is extremely fast, and in the previous games, the opponent was often defeated by him before he could see his form, and no one has been able to move more than five moves in his hand so far.

The second person is a guy named Kozmo, who turned out to be a low-level 2-level magician who has also mastered some low-level combat skills.

When he fights people, his opponents are often seriously injured and defeated by his incessant magical bombardment before they can attack him at close range. It is rumored that this person is proficient in four or five low-level 2 powerful magic, and comes from an ancient magic family.

As for this third person, he was the first to emerge from the knockout round.

This person's strength Butian didn't look at it, what really caught his attention was that the winner of the first place in the knockout round was Kashati, who won the second place in the second round of the challenge.

Kashati was able to win the first place in the knockout round, which was really unexpected by Butian.

He thought that this woman would eventually stop in the knockout round, but he didn't expect that with the strength of the other party, he would be able to go to the end.
