703 RULES OF THE PRELIMINARIES 3

"I know what exactly you people are thinking at the moment." ,City Lord Alger said, "I know that you people are wondering why exactly the great emperor has made this competition a mandatory stuff. But this is the reason why the rules state that a team could choose either a Combat Master or a Lifestyle Masters. But be careful with your choices. If you chose to participate with the Combat Masters, then it might even take your life. So make your choice wisely."

Everyone in the crowd sighed with relief. And they knew who will be the one participating in the preliminaries. There is no way anyone put their lives on the line and fight those monsters unnecessarily.

But there are some people who took this competition very seriously. These people have high aim for their lives. And they knew that for their future development, they can't stay in the Solar City forever. Royal Capital's Academy is the sacred place for learning. And it is the place these people aim for. And in order to reach there, they would do whatever it takes.

"Coming to the point, I will continue where I left off." ,City Lord Alger said, "The one who wish to kill the Orange colour monsters and Red colour monsters needs to be very careful. Especially with the Red colour monsters. The one who will slay the Orange colour monster will get 500 points!"

"What???" ,Everyone were stunned. For Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green and Yellow Monsters, they will get 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 points. But if they slay Orange colour monsters, then they will get a huge sum of 500 points??? Then how many points a Red colour monster is worth for?

" I am warning you once again." ,City Lord Alger said, "Killing an Orange colour monster and red colour monster is not easy for you people. Especially the Red colour monsters. Killing them is close to impossible. And there is only one red colour monster in the forest. The one who will manage to slay the Red colour monster will gain a massive sum of 10000 points!!!"

Everyone were completely stunned this time. Even Jimmy who was always a calm person was stunned. Just the orange colour monster was itself made them to be scared in their hearts. The points allotted for killing the orange colour monster will award them 500 points. And compared to other coloured monsters, this number is really a big one.

And the red colour monster is actually worth of 10,000 points? Needless to say, there is only one red monster in the forest. Just the amount of points it will give the one to slay it itself indicates how scary this monster is.

But if the reward is very high, then the danger lies with it will not be small one either. And the city Lord himself said that slaying the red monster is close to impossible. Only the cultivators with monstrous talent in combat and excellent divine art will have the ability and chances to slay them.

City Lord Alger waited for any questions. But the crowd remained silent. After waiting for around ten seconds, City Lord Alger nodded his head and said, "I will take this silence as you people have no doubts. Good. Then I will give you one hour of time. In this one hour, please have a care for discussion among yourselves, and then choose which section you would like to participate in. You have the rights to choose either the combat section or the lifestyle section. After one hour we will divide you according to your choices, and then we will officially start the preliminaries. Thank you."

City Lord Alger concluded and left the place along with his officials. He gave all the contestants the time to make their choices. And as soon as the city Lord left the place, all the participants started to discuss among themselves very seriously.

Young Master Luke and Young Master Wright summoned their team and also started a serious discussion. The atmosphere was truly tense in their camp as the two geniuses gathered at a same place.

"What should we do, Young Master?" ,Neil who was part of the team asked.

"Isn't it obvious." , Young Master Luke said while looking at Jimmy, "We need to crush him thoroughly. Since he is a Lifestyle Master, let's send the best in the city to participate against them. What do you say, brother Wright?"

"Indeed. I will crush them with large margin." , Young Master Wright said with a confident tone.

"That's good to hear." , Young Master Luke said with a happy tone. He then looked at Jimmy with angry look. He was confident that Jimmy will take part in the Lifestyle section. Because no one wants to send themselves to death unnecessarily. And most importantly, this was just the preliminary. So, Jimmy won't make any rash decision. And he was confident in Young Master Wright. Because Young Master Wright is the best among the younger generation in this business. He was sure that young Master Wright will be the champion of the preliminaries.

Farah also made her choice. She was a Lifestyle Master to begin with. And her hopes and expectations were high as well. And the major reason why she is doing this is because she wants her freedom from Young Master Luke. She wants to get in the eyes of one of the masters over there and enter the Royal Capital's Academy. She knew that only then she will have high hopes for her freedom.

She don't want to depend on Jimmy's bet. Even if Jimmy won, she knew that Young Master Luke will get after her in another way. And she knew that Jimmy won't protect her all the time. Even if Jimmy wants to protect her, she knew that Jimmy doesn't have enough power ti save her.

Within a blink of an eye, one hour was up. And the City Lord Alger's voice rang out in the ears of everyone, "Alright! Time is up."
