Chapter 1068 The Competition Began
Meanwhile, in a luxuriously embellished grandstand on the north side of the battle ring, Elvis sat in the
middle, with several elders and some important officials of the Ji n on his two sides. Sabina, who
was the bride of thepetition, sat next to him.
The chiefs of all the forces, representatives, and also some influential figures in the Holy Dragon
Empire were present in the grandstand, signifying the importance of the battle ring. Apart from the
influential figures, some spirit maniptors also came to thepetition. In fact, others even came
there just for fun. At that moment, they surrounded the whole battle ring, much like concentric circles,
forming what appeared to be a grand meeting!
However, everyone was surprised that the Ximen n didn''t send any of their spirit maniptors to
participate in thepetition. Needless to say, this was actually good news to all the other ns. At
least, there was one less n to worry about!
At this moment, Sabina seemed to be a little anxious, perhaps this was because she had not yetid
eyes on someone she was hoping to show up.
"Why isn''t he here yet? I hope he shows up any second now. The battle is about to begin!" Elvis looked
at Sabina and asked with worry in his tone.
"Let''s not wait for him any longer." Sabina kept silent for a while and shook her head in dismay.
Shifting his gaze to the audience, Elvis heard and saw that the whole training field was overflowing with
so many people, crowding the entire ce. Aside from the royal family, all the forces also gathered
here, so he didn''t wait any longer. After all, if he waited for just a bit more, then he might upset the
crowd. Soon after, he stood up and walked to the front of the stage, looking around the people present,
and said, "Today is the day my daughter chooses a husband in thepetition for marriage. First of all,
I would like to thank you all for your support! This would never be possible without all of you. Since it is
apetition, seniority will not take effect today among thepetitors. Everyone is equal. As long as
the spirit maniptors meet the necessary requirements to enter thepetition, then there is no
reason for them not to fight on the stage. In order not to destroy the harmony of each party in the battle,
the first task will be grabbing the ball-flower! Now, all of you must have noticed the ball-flower in the
center of the battle ring, right?"
Elvis exined the rules while pointing at the ball-flower in mid-air, which was just supported by a
bamboo frame a few meters high. After that, he continued, "As soon as the battle starts, each party
must do whatever it takes to acquire the ball-flower. Whoever gets the ball-flower first will be hailed the
winner. However, he must ept the challenge of other spirit maniptors and defend the ball-flower
from them. If the ball-flower remains to be in possession of the defender within fifteen minutes, then the
defender remains the winner.
If you cannot keep the ball-flower in your hands for fifteen minutes, then you have failed to defend your
title, and the challenger who gets the ball-flower will be the new battle winner. During the battle,
the spirit-manipted beasts are allowed to cooperate with the spirit maniptors to fight. However, we
shall maintain the dignity of thispetition by refraining from using very brutal means such as
poisoning. Once found doing such a despicable act, you will immediately be disqualified from
participating in thepetition..."
After Elvis finishedying out the rules and taboos of thepetition, he soon announced the

beginning of the battle.
Due to the nature of thepetition being free and unlimited, as long as there were two spirit
maniptors standing on the battle ring, thepetition could start. Not long after, two primary-grade
masters at the Heavenly Stage jumped onto the stage at the same time and began to scramble for the
ball-flower. However, it was not as simple as it looked like. In fact, it was not very easy to grab the ball-
flower in a matter of fifteen minutes.
Moreover, if no one among the twopetitors on stage got their hands on the ball-flower within fifteen
minutes, they would also be eliminated from thepetition.
Therefore, almost none of the weak primary-grade masters were able to grab the ball-flower,
eliminating them from the contest.
During the sixth round, a medium-grade spirit maniptor at the Heavenly Stage sessfully grabbed
the ball-flower, making him the first-ever winner in the battle ring.
However, the feeling of tion did notst long for him as another medium-grade spirit maniptor at
the Heavenly Stage swept the ball-flower away from his grasp.
After dozens of rounds, almost no spirit maniptor was able to keep the ball-flower, meaning it had to
change its owner right after every round.
Time flew by so quickly, and it was already noon. The sun was shining brightly above their heads, but
thepetition on the battle ring had just begun to turn white-hot.
At that moment, dozens of masters at the Heavenly Stage stepped onto the stage consecutively, but all
ended up in failure. After a while, a first-grade master at the Supernal Stage, who was also a member
of a big n, showed up.
As soon as the master made his move, he snatched the ball-flower from the man of the top nine-grade
at the Heavenly Stage who had just grabbed it.
Simr to the situation of other countries, almost all the spirit maniptors in the Holy Dragon Empire
who had achieved the Supernal Stage were distributed in the royal family and several big ns. Among
them, the royal family owned the most of the masters at that stage, followed by the Ximen n, and
then the Ji n. On the other hand, the rest of the spirit maniptors were scattered in other big ns,
along with other few small ones.
Therefore, this first-grade master at the Supernal Stage''s entrance was the prelude to thepetition
among the major ns. At this point, the battle had just started to be interesting.
It was well known that these Supernal Stage masters didn''te in their own names for they were
basically representing their respective family forces. Surely, their goal was to win the battle, but in the
end, the one who would marry Sabina was, in fact, the inheritors of the family forces, or the promising
juniors of the direct generation line. Needless to say, thepetition became more intense. After a few
rounds, the ball-flower was snatched by a five-grade master at the Supernal Stage from a big n.
Moreover, among the people ready to go on the stage, only less than ten masters at the Supernal
Stage had the strength to fight. Obviously, the final winner would soon be revealed.
However, there was a suddenmotion in the west of the training field. At that moment, the crowd
seemed to be separated, and several figures came in front of everyone, walking in such an imposing
manner.
These people were led by two supreme masters at the Divine Stage, Elder Duke and Jason. On the
other hand, walking behind them were five premium-grade masters at the Supernal Stage. As a matter
of fact, two of them had the strength at the peak level of the Supernal Stage.
At this time, the whole training field suddenly expressed their thoughts in an uproar because of the
appearance of Elder Duke, Jason, and the others. It was said that whenever people in the royal family
appeared, it meant that a real storm was just around the corner, and several major ns would also
face a huge test.
At that moment, when Elvis saw Elder Duke and Jasone in with several powerful royal spirit
maniptors at the Supernal Stage, he could not help but shoot a cold look towards them. Although he
had expected that Alston would send some powerful royal spirit maniptors here, he couldn''t help but
feel worried when he saw the powerful group in front of him. On the other hand, the Ji n couldn''t
send people to take part in thepetition, and even the strongest master of the top nine-grade at the
Supernal Stage of the Ji n might not have the confidence to win, let alone the other big ns except
the Ximen n. Therefore, the situation was naturally a little bad for them.
Soon after, Elder Duke and Jason walked onto the stage with their men and cupped their hands to
greet Elvis respectfully. Then, Elder Duke opened his mouth and said, "Sorry to bete. Please forgive
us, Chief Elvis!"
"Well, you arrived just in time. If you have arrived a secondter, then thepetition might have had
ended already," Elvis answered with a fake smile.
"Oh, really? Then, we must be so lucky! Or else, we will let Prince Daniel down!" Elder Duke said
thoughtfully and pointed out directly that they came here just to support Daniel.
Hearing this, Elvis also gave a wry smile and ordered his servants to bring two chairs for Elder Duke
and Jason.
After Elder Duke and Jason sat down, Jason leaned closer to Elvis and said, "Chief Elvis, I just wanted
to ask you. Was the mysterious man who stood up fordy Sabinast time from the Ji n?"
