Chapter 272: Twin Dragons Pass Part One
Mei made her way down the stairs. She did not rush, she still had the images of the young girl in her mind. The girl had gone through so much and was still pushing forward. Wanting to reunite with her love and be the one who stands above all. "Maybe in the future, I will cross paths with her. But not until I finish everything I need to take care of on Phantasia."
As she walked out from the stairwell she was met with four pairs of eyes staring into the building. Smiling Mei walked over to them. "Alic- Mei wherehave you been?It''s been five days!" Loeri eximed.
"Five days? Was it really that long?" To her, it felt like only a few hours had passed. But while remembering everything she watched she felt this could be possible. She was very engrossed in the video. She wanted to remember the girl''s face and learn as much as she could about her no matter what. Just in case...
"Were you able to find anything?" Tang Yu asked.
"Nothing I couldprehend. The thing at the top of the tower is not something anyone on this is able to obtain. I did try to obtain it but no matter how I tried I was not able to break through the barrier surrounding it. Why I was able to enter the building in the first ce is beyond me. For now, let''s just continue our travels." Mei decided to not tell them about her knowing how to make it home. It was already hard enough toe up with an excuse on the spot on why it took her so long to meet back up with them. If she suddenly said she knew how to get home, things would get even moreplicated. she had promised that old man not to say anything about what she saw. She had no choice otherwise she would die.
Tang Yu looked a bit disappointed that after all that searching, the entire city waspletely empty. But there was nothing she could do about it. "So where do we go from here?"
"In thest town, I heard that there was a tournament to decide the strongest amongst the younger generation. It would be good to gain some practice against other cultivators." Mei suggested.
"Then I vote for that!" Frey suddenly yelled out. as she punched the air with her fist. Seeing this Meiughed shaking her head. She did not know what to do with her daughter who seemed so ready to jump into a fight at any moment.
"I vote the same as Older Sister." Nomi said casting his vote.
"I''d like to test myself out as well. I want to see how far I can go." Tang Yu''s eyes brightened hearing about the tournament.
"I am okay with whatever Mei wants to do." Loeri did not really care what they did. She was just happy she could be out and about traveling around with Mei again like she did int he old days.
"Then that settles it. We will head to the Twin Dragons Pass." Mei said with a smile.
Twin Dragons Pass was well known for holding many tournaments. It started off as a small vige until one day someone decided to host a tournament there with their friends. Word got out causing more and more people wanting to join in on the fun. As years passed the small vige turned into a small citywith many battle stages in the center of the city. It was also a hot spot for many questionable deeds as well.
The group traveled day and night until finally almost a monthter they reached their destination. In front of them were two towering dragon pirs that cast their shadows over the city. At the top of the pirs were threerge boards. On the first board were the current top ten strongest for the current generation called the New Generation Rankings. The ranking was established by the very tournament that Mei and the rest were about to participate in. Next to that was the ranking for the strongest under the nascent soul realm, called the Dragon Rankings. Thest board was the ranking for the old monsters. They were the strongest of the mortal ne. The ones standing at the pentacle of the mortal ne. This board was called the Heavenly Rankings.
Each ranking was hard to get on. Especially the heavenly and dragon rankings. Since there was no tournament to get into these rankings. There was a powerful group that watched over these rankings. And investigated any battles that involved anyone on the rankings. The Dragon Rankings changed once every day and held one hundred spots. Just getting into this ranking was enough to mark you, causing many challengers toe running to your doorstep. Only those in the top ten of the dragon rankings rarely lost their spot or were challenged.
As for the heavenly rankings, there were only ten spots like the new generation rankings. These spots rarely changed. If they did it was mainly because of two reasons. They reached the immortal realm and went to the higher ne or they died from old age. It was rare that one lost their spot due to being defeated in battle. Mainly because these old monsters were rarely seen. They stayed out of worldly affairs.
As Mei and the rest stared at the board with awe. A fat man wearing gold rings and nes rode by in a carriage pulled by dragonic horses. He opened the curtain to look at Mei''s group. His eyes grew wide with excitement when he looked at Loeri and Frey. He licked his lips and then looked at Mei and Tang Yu. With a nod, he lowered the curtain again. He looked at the servant girl who only had a long grey shirt on, a big metal cor around her neck, and dead eyes and ordered: "That group, capture them for me. I want them all to be my new pets. Hehe"
