"Today, this young master will select eight personal attendants to accompany me to the Gruba territory. As personal guards, they will be able to obtain better equipment and have more opportunities to fight. One of the purposes of this trip is to display the strength of Lord Bole. Of course, my Yale City is only one of the teams. There will be two more teams.”Olikai glanced at his subordinates on the training ground. These were his personal guards, and they would also be his own team. Although the highest level was only at the level of a grand mage, he was already very proud of it.
"Secondly, I want to show off my prestige as the successor of one of the three major city lords under Lord Bole, the city lord of Gladiferin.”Olikai swung his golden hair narcissistically and said,"This will be the most glorious battle of this young master's life, so you must work hard and not make any mistakes. Did you hear that?"
"Yes, Young Master!" The people below roared. The aura of more than a hundred people was really powerful. The candidates selected today were all people with fighting spirit or magic, ranging from low-level warriors to high-level warriors. There were very few mages, only four of them. There was a grand mage among them, and the other three were all minor mages.
"Let's talk about the quota first. The people we've confirmed are the Boer Tauren, Gabriel, and the Taige Tigermen, Andolf and Andore. The three of them are rank 3 Beastmen warriors.”Olikai announced proudly. The people below were a little unhappy that the spots had been taken by the orcs, but when they saw the strong bodies of the three orcs, they swallowed their words.
Beastmen had always been huge. Taurens were usually about 2.8 meters tall, while Tigermen were about 2.5 meters tall. Moreover, their muscles were also very strong. One look and you could tell that they were very durable and fierce. Who would provoke them?
Of course, Orikai had his own reasons for choosing them. There were very few humans in the human countries because the conflict between the two races continued. The conflict between the Kangtan Empire and the Behemoth Empire was especially deep. It was rare for orcs to appear in the Kangtan Empire, but there were more in the other two empires. In order to show off, Olikai had recruited the orcs into his personal guards. This was something that made the people of the Kangtan Empire very proud and proud.
"Next up is the Great Magician Bilodolf. He's a Fire Magician!”After Orikai's introduction, Archmage Bilodolf took a step forward, cast a glance at the crowd, and retreated.
ESMAU looked at the mage curiously. This was the first time he had seen such an arrogant mage. Bilodolf was a middle-aged man, and he wore a tall magic hat and a red magic robe. He held a magic staff in his hand, and there was a red gem embedded on it. It looked very beautiful, and it seemed to be a high-end item. It was probably given to this grand mage by Orikai.
"Then there are still four candidates left. Everyone, prepare your equipment and we will start choosing in a moment.”Olikai sat down on a large chair behind him after he finished speaking. A servant had already served him some fruit drinks, and he enjoyed it very much.
Most of them were warriors, and only twenty-three were archers. Twelve of them were high-level warriors and four were high-level archers. Most of the candidates would probably be chosen from them.
Soon, the competition began. Since the participants were all high-level warriors and archers, the others did not compete for the spots. They just watched their battles with great interest.
The battleground was filled with Dou Qi, and the arrows whistled through the air. The high-level warrior's Dou Qi had already reached a level of abundance, and although he could not fully release his Consolidated Equipment attacks, the power of his weapons was extremely powerful. There were sixteen warriors and archers in total, so it was just right for them to compete together. The final four winners would be the final candidates.
Being able to witness the battle of so many people was very beneficial to Hua shi. He could observe and learn combat techniques and experience from the battle. Perhaps it was because he was too engrossed in the battle, but after the battle ended, ESMAU finally woke up. Just as it was about to carefully savor the insights it had gained, Olikai stood up and was about to announce the names of the selected candidates.
"Haha, in the end, four powerful warriors have won. Let me introduce them to everyone.”Olikai smiled in satisfaction. Suddenly, a voice interrupted him.
"Young Master, I want to challenge one of them. Is that possible?”ESMAU stood up. He was eager to improve his understanding of the battle because he did not have any martial arts techniques at the moment.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. ESNU welcomed everyone's gaze without any fear and walked up calmly. His expression was serious, and he didn't look like he was here to cause trouble. Everyone was surprised. Everyone knew the name of ESNU.
There was nothing he could do. This guy was really shameless. He asked everyone to treat him to a meal. It was hard not to remember him. However, only Aiman had invited him before. The rest of the people ignored him.
"Oh, I remember that your name is ESMAU, right? Then which one do you want to challenge?”Olikai was about to get angry, but when he saw that this person was ESNU, his curiosity was piqued. He remembered that this person had brought back two Tiger-headed people. Although he didn't know what method he used, it was obvious that he was quite capable.
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Okay, then who do you want to challenge?”Olikai looked at him with interest and pointed at the four people beside him. Three of them were high-level warriors, and one was a high-level archer.
"Hmph, you don't know the rules. Let me teach you a lesson.”It was the same guy who scolded ESNU for not knowing the rules.
ESMAU turned to the guy who said he wanted to teach him a lesson. This guy was called Alva, and he did have some strength. He was able to win against sixteen people. He had used his blazing flame battle energy quite well, and the Flame Strike he had used in the battle earlier was very powerful. "Haha, then I'll choose you. But don't cry if you lose later!”
"Hehe, this time I'll let you know how powerful I am. Let me teach you the rules here.”Awal chuckled and looked at ESNU as if he was looking at his prey. He was probably thinking about how to teach this ignorant and weak fellow a lesson later.
"Oh, is that so? Actually, I can defeat you in one move!”ESMAU said calmly.
Awal was furious. This guy in front of him, who had no fighting energy at all, said that he could defeat him in one move. This was simply an insult. He couldn't help but be shocked and angry. Fiery Flame Fighting Energy surged out and instantly caused the temperature around him to rise to an extremely high level.
"Then let's see who will be defeated in one move. Flame Strike!”Awal roared in rage, and the flames on his sword instantly expanded to a meter long. The blazing flames reflected Awal's ferocious expression. At this moment, he actually managed to make a breakthrough.
Everyone exclaimed. They didn't expect ESMAU to be so confident. It was as if he didn't have the temperament of an expert at all. Instead, it was his serious appearance that made them very surprised. The two Tiger-headed men were not bothered by ESMAU's challenge and simply stood at the side and ate the meat that the attendant brought over.
Before Awar's sword could even reach the thick flames, they had already swept up and surrounded ESMAU, swallowing him whole. Immediately after, Awar's sword slashed down and split the flames.
Seeing ESMAU being engulfed by the flames, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They didn't expect that this arrogant fellow would be devoured by the flames so easily. Even if he survived the flames, Awar's attack would arrive soon. In that case, ESMAU would be the one to lose.
However, before everyone could mock ESMAU for seeking their own death, their expressions suddenly froze. They opened their mouths wide, wanting to mock or sympathize with ESMAU, but they didn't say anything because they saw a shocking scene.
"Hehe, Flame Strike is only so-so!”ESMAU seemed to be able to easily block Alva's attack with one hand.
This world had warrior energy. When warriors poured warrior energy into their weapons, they could unleash powerful attacks. They could also use it for their own defense. This was ESMAU's understanding of combat. It had also been proven that True Core Strength could increase the offensive power of weapons, and just now, ESMAU had proven that True Core Strength could be used for self-defense.
Reality proved that ESMAU was right. When the flames attacked, ESMAU, who was prepared, covered his entire body with True Core Strength. As expected, the flames were unable to harm him, at least not for the time being. Therefore, when Arval's attack arrived, the greatsword infused with Refined Qi easily blocked the opponent's attack. In fact, most people could grasp the application of True Core Strength very quickly. However, ESMAU was an orphan in the past and knew nothing about this legendary power. His master seemed to have neglected this point and did not leave behind any books on this aspect, so ESMAU had to explore it on its own.
"If your attack is over, then watch me!”ESMAU chuckled. Under Awar's shocked gaze, he turned around and flashed behind him. With a swat of his greatsword, he sent Awar flying.
ESMAU was still merciful and only used the sword to send Awar flying. However, even with such a huge force, Awar was still spurting blood.
The training ground was silent. If it weren't for the knight's mount's nosing, it would have been completely silent. Who would have thought that this guy who was bound to lose would suddenly win? Moreover, he didn't seem to have any fighting spirit at all. It was really unbelievable. The most shocking thing was that he had actually slapped Avar, a high-level warrior, until he spat out blood. What kind of strength was needed to injure a high-level warrior with full combat qi defense to such an extent?
"Hahaha, that's great. I didn't expect ESMAU to be so powerful!”Olikai was the first to snap out of his daze. It was as if he had found a gem in the crack of a rock, and he was extremely excited. He could not help but jump up and hug ESNU.
"Aiyaya! I'm injured, I'm injured!" Just as the crowd burst into cheers and Olikai ran over to hug ESMAU, ESMAU suddenly collapsed with a loud cry. He covered his right arm with his left hand and wailed in agony.
