From his position, he could only see the figures on the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For just this seat, it cost him a full 5 silver coins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is truly a lucrative business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng swept his gaze over the dense crowd of heads in the surrounding seats and sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a witness to a historical event, it could indeed satisfy a bit of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he known the price was this high, he wouldn't have come; after all, he already knew the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng thought with some resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warrior Captain and the Nail Clipper had not yet appeared, but there were several figures on the ring below, seemingly performing inspection work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Located directly north of the ring was the only part of the arena that stood significantly higher than the rest: a circular, tower-like viewing stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That must be the viewing stand reserved for the kingdom's nobles and royalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the near-boisterous atmosphere of the other areas, the location of this circular tower stand was excessively quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that this situation gradually affected the other areas, like a bucket of cold water poured over the fiery atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the surrounding chatter gradually quieted down significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng reached out to tug at the collar of his coarse hemp clothing, shrugged his shoulders with boredom, and watched the scene with a calm gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not understand the reason for this slightly eerie atmosphere, but he knew a thing or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A competition of this level is ostensibly for the country to find powerful warriors and to promote the strength of the nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the very beginning, the \"Royal Tournament\" has been a stage for major nobles to show off their subordinates and display their own military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the commoner participants are merely stepping stones for these noble lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This involves the kingdom's own noble system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the major nobles, aside from the eldest son, the other sons cannot inherit titles. This led to another title within the noble system: \"Knight\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This title carries no fief and is limited to the individual's own generation, yet it remains a goal that the younger sons of nobles scramble to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not only for the noble status, but also because once the \"Knight\" title is obtained, the royal family pays a high salary, so there is basically no need to worry about one's livelihood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also a strategy of the royal family to turn these noble descendants into a new generation of the \"Pro-Royal Faction\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Royal Tournament\" exists because of this; it is considered a legitimate strategy. Therefore, outstanding noble descendants who stand out in the competition will be granted the title of \"Knight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, starting a few years ago, the noble members or their subordinates participating began to be defeated by some commoner adventurers, which caused dissatisfaction among the nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of Gazef and Brain, who have swept through everything to arrive here, has made it even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has turned the \"Royal Tournament\" into a stage for a duel between two commoners!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face; he could fully imagine that the expressions of those noble lords must be anything but pleasant right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gazef achieved victory, he should have been granted the \"Knight\" title, but the result was the creation of a new \"Warrior Captain\" position, which came about under this background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason this duel is known among commoners as the \"Legendary Battle\" is that the \"Royal Tournament\" was cancelled after this competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, no noble wanted a second Warrior Captain to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this had nothing to do with Tang Zheng; compared to the future Great Tomb, these matters were, in the end, just small trifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how dissatisfied the nobles were, this competition could neither be blocked nor stopped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 10 minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng straightened his expression, his gaze becoming serious as he looked at the future Warrior Captain and the Nail Clipper walking onto the ring at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two stepped onto the ring, they shook hands and seemed to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the spectator seat where Tang Zheng was currently sitting, he could only clearly see their figures; naturally, he could not hear the conversation between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two separated again, turned to put some distance between them, and then stood face to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noisy sounds of the entire spectator area vanished completely, and eyes were fixed tightly on the two on the ring, fearing to disturb the duel between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Shu_ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazef and Brain moved at the same time; despite the distance of nearly twenty meters between them, they collided after just a brief charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sword-like weapons collided instantly, sparking intense flashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng's eyes showed astonishment; his gaze could barely capture their figures. Especially the swords they were wielding—he couldn't see them clearly at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only see the sparks appearing one after another around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng leaned his neck back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply weren't the same species as ordinary people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intensity displayed when they collided was something that couldn't be felt at all while watching an anime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a battle of this level with his own eyes, Tang Zheng truly realized the uncrossable chasm between ordinary people and these powerhouses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is only at the level of around 20?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unaccountably, Tang Zheng suddenly felt a bit of the despair the Nail Clipper must have felt when facing Xia Tiya back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The title \"Nail Clipper\" is not a derogatory term!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ring, a pale blue light suddenly flashed across Brain's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brain appeared behind Gazef as if he had teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazef seemed to have anticipated this; he rolled his body and put distance between them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is a Martial Art.\" Tang Zheng's eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial Art\" is a technique unique to this other world that does not exist in the \"Yggdrasil\" game; it can be understood as magic for warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using it requires consuming something called \"Concentration\"—simply put, it is mental focus.
