Chapter Seventy-One: The First Arrival in Sark City

Xiao Che didn't stay here for too long, the war between the two sides could not end in a short time, he wanted to use this time to see the world again as a doctor.

Xiao Che didn't tell anyone, and he set off alone the next day.

Sark City, located in the northwest of the Northern Yan Empire. This is the frontier of the Northern Yan Empire.

After nearly a month's trek, Xiao Che arrived here from Bauhinia City along the Northern Yan Frontier. In the past month, Xiao Che has been sleeping in the open, because most of the places he passes through are desolate places, and the whole person has tanned a lot.

The reason why he chose to start from Sark City was mainly because the two sides were at war in the east, and there would be a lot of trouble, and Xiao Che was the one who was most afraid of trouble.

And for the people of the Qingxuan Empire, the West is so mysterious, people almost don't know anything about it, although Xiao Che has "Senluo Wanxiang" in hand, however, there is no introduction to the West on it, after Xiao Che's research, he feels that it is because of his current lack of strength, and he can't finish this book. All he could see now was a very small fraction of it.

Xiao Che has a feeling that this book is by no means so simple

Although the eastern part of the Northern Yan Empire was shrouded in the clouds of war, the westernmost city of Sark, located in the far west of the Northern Yan, did not seem to have been affected in the slightest.

The city of Sark has a dry climate, with hot days and cold nights. Therefore, the local diet is also salty and meaty. Such extreme weather and rough eating habits also make the people here very strong.

Moreover, although this is the territory of the Northern Yan Empire, it is incompatible with the Northern Yan Empire, and even the imperial order of the Northern Yan Empire is difficult to reach here. There is a very powerful lord in Sark City. He was known as Master Sark.

This Sak Mage is not a one-man name, but an ancient title. Legend has it that in ancient times, it was not only the martial arts that practiced Reiki now. There are other ways of doing it. Among them, spells are the most important form of cultivation besides Reiki.

Those people are called warlocks, mages. Their spells are magical and powerful. However, as the number of people who practice magic grows stronger, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the martial artists who practice Reiki. As time accumulates, the conflict grows more intense. Finally, one day, it reached the extreme.

A war broke out between the two kinds of cultivators. It's ridiculous to say, I don't know why, but the cultivators at that time attached great importance to them. From the current point of view, no matter what kind of cultivation method, as long as you can practice and as long as it suits you, it is the best. But at that time, the martial artists who cultivated spiritual energy and the martial artists who cultivated spells had to be divided into high and low, and eventually evolved into a life and death.

It was a protracted war, involving countless races, which eventually evolved into a war of all races.

After that, for some reason, the cultivation of aura became the mainstream, and those who practiced magic gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

There are many reasons for this. Perhaps all this was deliberately covered up and not wanted to be known to future generations.

But even so, it was impossible for the original powerful line of spell cultivators to be extinct. It still has its own heritage. Although such people are rare now, they still exist.

The Sark Lord of the Northern Yan Empire is an authentic mage. It is said that the strength of the Sark Lords in the past dynasties was extremely terrifying, and many Supreme Realm powerhouses finally fell at the hands of the Sark Lords because they were enemies of Sark City. This also made the Sark lord more prestigious.

Xiao Che also wanted to see what kind of cultivator the mage was.

In Sark City, it is almost the world of magic warriors.

For the Northern Yan Empire, although it is geographically remote, Sark City is not closed, but a very open city. Many people who can't get along within the Northern Yan Empire will come here to beg for a living.

This also made the city of Sark grow stronger and stronger. Because of its geographical location, the city of Sark is very inhospitable to the west, and there are many intricate forces. At the beginning, the first emperor of the Northern Yan Empire made an agreement with the lord of Sark. They can go west at will.

With this agreement, as the population grew, the city of Sark would also spread its influence to the west. Today, many places west of the Northern Yan Empire are the territory of Sark City. In other words, Sark City is called a city, but it is actually a small country.

However, none of the successive lords of Sark City had any ambitions for expansion. They are only gradually moving westward according to their own needs.

When Xiao Che came here, he found that this place was fundamentally different from the legend. Legend has it that Sark City is a very barren and desolate place, but now Xiao Che only sees a sea of people, where there is a little desolate scene. The city itself is already the size of the castle. The population density is about the same as that of the Flower City.

And as soon as he arrived in Sark City, Xiao Che saw what a mage was.

Today happens to be the annual martial arts competition in Sark City. This is a long-standing tradition in the city of Sark. There will be a lot of single women who go on blind dates in this way. This is not available anywhere else.

Xiao Che was also very curious when he learned that there was such an event, so he followed the flow of people to the venue.

The venue for the competition is huge, and it can accommodate millions of spectators. Because the terrain of Sark City is undulating, and the height is staggered. It's a depression. So I don't know which era the Sark lord had a whim, recruited craftsmen according to local conditions, and transformed it into a huge circular square.

The square is built according to the topography, the central depression is a large venue, and the surrounding area is built into stone chairs according to the topography from high to low, which is the seat of the audience. There is also a huge crystal ball on the field, which is said to be able to play the scene in 360 degrees. This is the mage's means.

When it comes to mages, you have to talk about crystal balls.

For mages, the crystal ball is like a spiritual weapon for qi martial artists. The crystal balls used by the mages are also made of spirit stones, and their properties are also determined by the properties of the spirit stones themselves. Generally speaking, the most common ones are crystal balls with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, in addition to the very rare crystal balls with light and dark attributes.

There are also some more special ones, such as ice and thunder crystal balls, which are even rarer, and if they match the mage's cultivation attributes, then they can exert super power.

The crystal ball in the square was specially made by the mages, and it has no attributes and no attack power. It's only for video playback.

This made Xiao Che, who saw these for the first time, surprised.

The tournament will run for a week and is the biggest event of the year in Sark City. This activity is open to single adults and men over the age of 18. Single here refers to a person who is not married. So much so that every year, bloody plots such as rivals fighting each other and tearing apart the mistress are staged.

There is only one rule for recruiting relatives in martial arts, and you must not hurt people's lives. Because the organizer is a lord of Sark, there is no one who does not follow the rules here.

Xiao Che bought a ticket for the middle seat at a high price in the hands of the scalper, and with the orderly flow of people taking their seats, the competition soon began.

Sitting in the seats, the participants in the middle of the field could not see clearly at all, but the huge crystal ball lit up with it, and not only could you see the impact, but also hear the sound. This made Xiao Che find it extremely interesting. A thousand books

On the field, a slender young girl in hot clothes is fighting a middle-aged uncle.

The girl was in her twenties, and the uncle opposite looked to be in his forties and fifties. I don't know why I'm still single. The young girl obviously didn't take a fancy to the middle-aged uncle. Therefore, the move is ruthless.

This kind of martial arts competition is to limit everyone's cultivation to the same level. Although it is more of a performance nature, it can make people watch the blood boiling. As long as the girl stands on the challenge platform, the man who is interested in her can choose to challenge, but the first challenge is randomly selected with a crystal ball, if this person is the object of the girl's desire, then the girl in the relief of the competition will deliberately release the water and lose to him. If you don't like it, it's like this young girl and this middle-aged uncle at this time. Then the girl will fight with all her might.

Generally speaking, if a man sees a girl who is fighting with him with all his might, he will basically give up after a symbolic competition, unless the girl is the object of his great affection. In this case, there are two possibilities to fight with all his might, one is that the girl finally gives him a chance, and the other is to make the girl even more disgusted.

In the second game, the girl can choose a man of her choice among many suitors. If there is no man among these suitors that the girl likes, then she can withdraw from the contest to recruit relatives.

If a girl feels that there is a man she likes among the other girl suitors, if that man is not chosen, she has the opportunity to choose it once. If the man is chosen, she needs to compete with another girl, and if she wins, she can ask the man if he is willing to choose herself, if he loses, he will not have this chance.

The ultimate purpose of this kind of competition is to let people choose their own partners, and these are just the general rules. In the case of special circumstances, the rules are not set in stone. People also watched these to see lovers eventually married and mages fighting each other.

I saw that the hotly dressed young girl on the field was wielding a fire-attribute spirit whip, and every time she attacked, the fire-attribute spirit whip was like a fire dragon flying. The middle-aged man who fought with her obviously took a fancy to her and was unwilling to give up, only to see that every time he made a move, he gathered the water element around him to resist the attack of the fire dragon. This was an eye-opener for Xiao Che.

Xiao Che can sense that water, fire, energy, and aura have the same root and origin. It's just that the aura is emitted from the inside out by the warrior, and the spell directly transforms the energy between heaven and earth into several uses. No matter what kind of cultivation method you have, it is essentially to obtain the energy of heaven and earth.

Seeing this kind of cultivation method that he had never seen before, Xiao Che's heart suddenly brightened unconsciously.

He seemed to have some kind of enlightenment, but he was vague and couldn't grasp it.

However, Xiao Che did not indulge in it, but continued to watch. After more than a dozen rounds of back and forth between the two sides, the hotly dressed young woman seemed to have the upper hand, but Xiao Che faintly felt that it was not so simple. Sure enough, I saw the middle-aged man suddenly retreat backwards, and then stomped his foot violently, only to see dozens of water columns rising into the sky, and then weaving a strange net, enveloping the young woman in it, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get out.

This made many viewers in the audience exclaim. Without any surprise, the hotly dressed young woman lost the battle. She looked at the middle-aged man with a look of resentment on her face.

However, the middle-aged man didn't care about her gaze, just glanced at her and walked off the stage. Because then it's time for the young woman to choose for herself, and if she chooses a second man, then the previous middle-aged person can challenge that man.

If the woman wins this one, then she can choose to give up the offer.

Soon, the woman chose a handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties. Seeing this handsome young man, Xiao Che felt uncomfortable for no reason, this was by no means what Xiao Che thought about this woman. It was this handsome young man who gave Xiao Che a sense of evil.

As soon as such a handsome young man came on the stage, he attracted the attention of many people, and in addition to his appearance, many girls fell in love with him. The man seemed to be attractive to the woman. Xiao Che believes that there must be something wrong with this. He didn't think a person could be so charismatic.

As soon as this handsome young man came on, the young woman seemed to have lost her immunity to it, and she had no fighting spirit. In this way, the man did not make a move, and the young woman just conceded defeat.

This made the person in charge of the competition also see the problem. On second thought, he understood why, but he didn't say anything. As long as no one is killed, he will not pay attention. However, he had to report the matter to Lord Sark immediately.

I saw him take out a crystal ball, and there were words in his mouth, and as soon as the crystal ball lit up, he put it away.

The handsome young man won, and the middle-aged man who had previously won challenged him.

Soon the two were on the field. I saw that the middle-aged man took the lead, and in an instant, a giant composed of four meters tall water element appeared in the field. The handsome young man didn't have any panic when he saw this scene, he waved his hand casually, and a pitch-black scimitar appeared in his hand, and as soon as the knife came out, the middle-aged man obviously felt that his breath was stagnant. The formula came out of his mouth.

This made the audience nervous. Although Xiao Che didn't understand what reciting the magic trick meant to a mage, he also knew that the middle-aged man's move was not simple, looking at the way everyone was concentrated. Sure enough, seeing the middle-aged man reciting the formula, the handsome young man also frowned.

"Since you don't want to live anymore, I'll fulfill you. Hearing the words from his mouth, everyone felt a chill down their spine. Although the tone of the handsome young man was very calm, there was not a trace of waves.

The middle-aged man's feelings were even stronger, but he wasn't intimidated. He knows the rules of this martial arts competition, no one has ever dared to make a fuss here, he is seriously injured at most, and he thinks he can still afford this price.

As he finished reciting his spell, he saw that the water giant actually cast a spell. This scene made Xiao Che stunned. The water giant was originally a spell cast by a middle-aged man, but after the middle-aged man recited the spell, this water giant was still able to cast a spell. And judging by its momentum, the power is definitely not small.

I saw a spear condensed in the water giant's hand. Before everyone could react, the spear swished towards the handsome young man's head. It is conceivable that if you are hit this time, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

In fact, the middle-aged man is not comfortable now, and this move can be said to be the strongest attack he can send out at the moment. If he doesn't win this move, then he will definitely lose. Even if he wins, he'll barely be able to use any spells for the rest of the day.

Just as the spear was about to shoot into the handsome young man's head, he saw that the handsome young man's black scimitar was like a black crescent, sucking this extremely powerful water spear into it.

The next moment, the handsome young man's face was bruised, which made the originally handsome face become distorted. It can be seen that it is not easy for him to resist this water spear. Just as the black crescent moon was getting dimmer and about to dissipate, the water spear's energy was exhausted first. And the only remaining energy of the black crescent moon hit the middle-aged man in an instant. As soon as he heard a "wow", he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Don't look at this mouthful of blood, it doesn't seem to be much, but it makes the middle-aged man's internal organs damaged. It's good that he's alive now.

Seeing that this blow did not kill the middle-aged man, the handsome young man was also a little surprised. Originally, he expected that this blow would kill a middle-aged man. It seems that he still underestimated the tricks of middle-aged men.

Either way, he won. The reason why he didn't strike again was because he felt a pair of terrible eyes staring at him. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. You don't have to think about it to know that this must be a secret warning from a strong man.

Seeing the handsome young man win, the hotly dressed woman also breathed a sigh of relief. Now she likes handsome young people more and more. For some reason, she always had a familiar feeling for the handsome young man. This unwarranted affection made him look extremely shy.

Just seeing the black crescent moon when the handsome young man made a move, Xiao Che finally knew where that uncomfortable feeling came from. When that black crescent moon appeared, "God Eater" actually ran on its own uncontrollably, and it felt like "God Eater" had a consciousness. It's as if he was talking to Xiao Che to swallow that black crescent moon, which is like a child seeing his favorite candy.

This made Xiao Che's heart turbulent. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. can make "Devouring God Decision" have such a reaction, it can be seen that the exercises practiced by this handsome young man are not simple. When he first practiced the "Willow Divine Formula", "Devouring God Decision" completely devoured it. But fortunately, it was practiced by Xiao Che, and this devouring was only aimed at the energy condensed by cultivating the "Willow Divine Technique".

It does not affect Xiao Che's use of "Liu Shen Jue", but this is no longer the original "Liu Shen Jue". It is the "Willow Divine Formula" cultivated with the energy of "Devouring God Decision". However, the power was stronger than the original "Willow Divine Technique", and at that time, Xiao Che found that "Devouring God Decision" could devour the energy cultivated by other exercises. It's just that the "taste" of "God Eater" seems to be very tricky. Unless Xiao Che takes the initiative to run the exercises, it will not be devoured on its own.

The energy condensed by this handsome young man today can make "Devouring God Decision" take the initiative to produce such a reaction, which shows that the exercises practiced by the handsome young man must not be simple.
