C144 I want a way to put it

"Alright, all lords, there's no need to be so courteous. The heaven's pride level experts who are qualified to participate in the firewood competition have been selected by Senior Fire Cauldron. I would like to ask all of you city lords to help me activate the defensive array so that the ZhongTian Prides can fight to their heart's content." The dignified voice of the Firewood City Lord resounded. Although there was no imposing aura, it was enough to give birth to an undefiable thought.

This was the dignity of a true master in the world of fire. A single voice was enough to frighten all the leaders of the tribes of the Firewood World into submission.

Firewood City masters would change once every ten years, which meant that they could only obtain the approval of the Fire Cauldron. Using the Fire Cauldron would grant them a sliver of power for ten years, and ten years later, they would be replaced by a new heaven's pride level expert.

This was something that everyone in the Firewood World knew. Even the Firewood City Lord did not point it out.

It seemed that he had lived from the Primordial Era until now, and had always held the position of Firewood City Lord. Or perhaps it could be said that every time he changed her position, it was not something an ordinary person would know.

In the hearts of all the living beings in the Firewood World, if one were to speak of the strongest one, it would be the will of the Cauldron. Then, it would probably be this Firewood City Lord, since no one had ever heard of him changing her position.

Some people said that he was the incarnation of the Firewood Cauldron Will, and others said that he was a remnant of the Fire Cauldron's master's body to this day. At the same time, there were also people who said that he was the product of the countless living beings worshiping him over and over again throughout the countless years of the Fire Cauldron's existence.

Some people even said that he was the one who was most likely to be recognized as the master of the Fire Cauldron. However, there was still a gap between him and the master of the Fire Cauldron. The slightest mistake would result in a difference of a thousand miles.

But no matter which conjecture it was, it showed that the Firewood City's City Lord was not simple.

Throughout the countless years of the Firewood World, countless tyrannical and peerlessly talented existences from other races had appeared. However, they had all tried to challenge the Firewood City Lord before, and she was always able to suppress them with her bare hands.

Furthermore, from then on, the experts who had challenged the Firewood City Lord no longer tried to challenge him, because no matter how strong they were, they would never be able to be a match for the Firewood City Lord.

Life and death also came together.

This was the sorrow of the creatures of the world of fire. Everyone held onto their hopes and fantasies that one day, someone would recognize the fire cauldron and take them all away to a relatively complete world.

"That's only natural. To be able to serve Firewood City Lord and contribute to the hope of the Firewood World, we are all hoping for that."

"This was our duty to do so, so how can we have the Firewood City Lord say the word 'please'?"

The thousand and eight city lords nodded their heads in unison. None of them had any intention of opposing it, and all of them were filled with anticipation.

"Alright, then please come with me and use your power to protect the entire training field." The Firewood City said.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Although they did not know why the thousand and eight city lords, with the Firewood City Lord's strength, still needed their help, they had never asked about it, nor did they resist. Firewood City Lord was the true master of this world, his orders were rules that could not be broken, nor could they disobey.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Immediately, pillars of spirit energy of different colors turned into streaks of red light that soared into the sky and converged into Firewood City's purple flames.

The size of the purple-colored flame also gradually grew following the merging of the red-colored flame. Finally, the half a meter radius of a hundred year radius turned into a ten plus meter radius.

"Go!"

Finally, it formed into a purple flame light screen, enveloping the three thousand kilometer radius martial ring. At the same time, there were also three thick purple flame light curtains that enveloped all three of the martial stages in the field.

After finishing, the purple flame screen disappeared without a trace, concealing itself in the darkness, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Alright, firewood competition will begin now. Before we begin, let me remind you that this competition is definitely fair, no matter what your identity is, after you enter the arena, other than your life soldiers, you are not able to use any of them, so all you can do is to use your true strength in battle. Those who attempt to use forbidden weapons, forbidden pills, and other unorthodox methods are deemed as giving up the competition, and will be driven out by the dao flame and be punished."

Firewood City introduced the rules of the competition.

"This time's competition will be held in an elimination round, where two people will be fighting in each match, and three people will be fighting in each match." This competition will be held in an elimination round, where two people will be fighting in each match, and three people will be fighting in each match. With a wave of his hand, the Firewood City Master created a box out of turtle shell in the middle of the training field, which could cut off the detection of cultivators.

Over a hundred competitors stepped forward and each drew out a bamboo stick.

"Alright, those who have drawn Number Three will go to the arena and fight. The victor will stay behind, and after a quarter-hour of rest, we will move on to the next match." And so on and so forth until only the final ten remain.

After the Firewood City Lord said this, she flew to the highest point of the Firewood City and looked down at the four City Lords and the hundred over participants on the martial arts arena below.

"Hua!"

Just as everyone turned to look at the Firewood City Lord, they discovered that his body had disappeared and was replaced with a gigantic crystal ball. The crystal ball was able to clearly copy the scenes on the three stages, allowing everyone within a hundred miles to see the situation on the stage.

"firewood competition has begun!"

"After waiting for ten years, it's finally starting again!"

"..."

All the living beings within a hundred miles of the Firewood World had put down everything and concentrated on watching the rare great battle that had occurred in the past ten years.

Ye Tian, Lu Xiaolian and Wuqing walked forward and each of them picked a bamboo stick.

"Mine is number three." Lu Xiaolian said somewhat nervously.

"I'm number ten." Wuqing was very calm.

"What about you, Allheaven? What's your number? " Seeing that Ye Tian did not say anything, Lu Xiaolian asked.

Just as Ye Tian was about to say the numbers that came from the bamboo sticks to his head, a young man in white walked over from the other side. He looked so handsome that even the girls would feel ashamed of themselves.

"Brother Ye, we meet again. I didn't expect you to have reached this level. However, I don't understand why you like to target me. I want an explanation."

Master Fengyue arrived in front of Ye Tian, and the sneer in his eyes contained an astonishing fighting intent. With that tone, he obviously didn't want a peaceful solution.
