In the past, out of the six people who appeared, five of them would stay in the Sacred Land and never return. Hehe, but I, Niu Dazhao, am born to care for my life. If I can't beat him, then I will admit defeat.

There are so many wonderful things in the world. Why must we leave our little lives in the illusory arena, shrouded in countless halos of light?" Furthermore, I, Niu Dazhao, am considered a person with a lot of face, and I am respected wherever I go. So, do you think I'm a coward or is my imagination too big of a deal?

Ling Feng looked deeply at Niu Dazong's' honest 'face. He felt an infinite wisdom and an understanding towards life, "Big Bro Da Yong, I, Ling Feng, am convinced of you!"

"Hahaha, good child! If you understand, then I didn't teach you for nothing!"

Ling Feng thought for a while, "This Napa is really an old fox, he actually didn't greet me first even though the competition was so difficult. It's as if he was afraid of scaring me away, so the feeling of being taken advantage of is really unpleasant!"

The old Napa seemed to have guessed Ling Feng's thoughts, as he whistled towards the sky, happily playing a tune. His rosy face was brimming with joy, as he thought to himself: "Hahaha, two treasures, since they're for my use, then follow me on!"

Everyone continued on their journey, sightseeing and sightseeing. Along the way, they had acquired a lot of beautiful scenery and had a taste of all the delicacies on the continent.

In less than a day, he had already arrived at the Holy Land. It was the most honorable place on the continent where the pope lived. Even before entering the city itself, he had already felt the majesty and solemnity emanating from the city.

With the help of their secret service agents, the seven of them successfully entered the city.

Heh! The construction of this city was truly extraordinary. All he could see were yellow ancient buildings, yellow earthen bricks and tiles, and yellow trees that lined the streets and alleyways. That kind of strange tree was completely unknown, but it was filled with an aura of soul power. Looking at the yellow color, Ling Feng could not help but think of the desert city of the mainland of Tanzania. However, the desert city was far from the holy land.

The most solemn and imposing structure of the Holy Land was naturally the Pontiff's Tower. How could anyone who came to the Holy Land not visit it?

As the president of the Soul Master's Association, Napa had naturally been to the Sacred Land more than once. He had also visited the Pontiff's Tower more than once, bringing Lingfeng and the other participants who were visiting for the first time along with him.

What a big holy land. Just walking from the city gates to the Pontiff's Tower took two hours.

The pagoda shone with pure gold light, and a few dozen miles away, it would be illuminated by its radiance. The pagoda's door was wide, and it was at least forty meters wide and twenty meters tall.

The tower was divided into fourteen floors. The higher the level, the smaller the tower was. The fourteen floors should have different office uses.

Forty Soul Masters were gathered outside the tower, all of them wearing black robes. They were clearly the guards.

Not too far away, a large number of commoners knelt down and kowtowed to the Pontiff's Tower. There were even Soul Masters among them, muttering to themselves, "The Pontiff's blessing, the Heaven's Blessing Tower."

Beside the Pontiff's Tower, there was a large box with the words "Gatherer" written on it. It was guarded by two four-ringed Soul Masters. Nearly a thousand people lined up in a long line to collect donations.

Ling Feng scoffed, "What is that thing!?" If you spend money, you have to chase after the flowers. If you believe in the Pope, you have to live forever? "

Several newcomers were shocked by this solemn scene. Was this the great power of the Pope? This kind of spiritual force had a greater control over human nature than military discipline and law!

At this time, a voice greeted him, "Yo, isn't this Brother Napa? What a coincidence, you brought your children here to take advantage of some good luck! "

Ling Feng and the others looked over and saw an old man dressed in a Soul Master robe. His aura was not released, but he exuded an unfathomable aura. Behind him was a middle-aged man and five youths. They should be the six participants. As for the middle-aged man, his gaze was reserved and deep, and he had his hands behind his back. It was obvious that he possessed extraordinary strength.

Napa also cupped his fists to greet the old man: "I was wondering who it was. It turns out elder brother Kun Zhen is here. Hehe, we are just here for fun. We don't have any hope with your team from the Kasca Communal Country. I hope elder brother has time to teach my children!"

One of the youths behind the old man sneered, "Without the participation of our Kargath Clan, your Crozier Soul Master Association would also be a burden!"

Ling Feng glared at that person, and the youth did not let his guard down as he looked at Ling Feng with a provocative gaze.

The baby did not have a good temper to begin with, and seeing this person being so rude to his big brother, what was there to be afraid of? He pushed out his palms, and a strong force shot out into the wind.

The young man was already prepared for this. "Good one!"

However, the other party had also sent out his palms. With a "pah" sound, the young man was pushed back fifteen meters, blood trickling down from his mouth.

Kun Pao and the other Soul Masters from Kastra were all shocked. That young man was called Qiu Ya, and his cultivation wasn't weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a participant in their guild. He was ranked fifth among these six people. He never thought that he would be defeated by an unknown little girl in a single move.

The middle-aged man stood in front of the baby to prevent her from attacking again. He was quite proud of himself for taking the handkerchief. The moment he made his move, his trump card was indeed extraordinary. It had greatly helped him to gain some face.

Kun Ting squinted his eyes, as if he had a deeper meaning, "Good, looks like there's something worth watching this year's competition. It seems like Brother Pa has something up his sleeves. "Humph!" As he spoke, he brought his subordinates and left. As for the injured Qiu Ya, he was supported forward by his companions. It seemed that even walking would be difficult.

The people of Crooked Soul's guild all knew that Lingfeng and Baby had great strength, but they never thought that Baby had already reached such a ridiculous level, and defeated the opponent in one move. The opponent was an expert that could participate in the competition, and Kunlun City's guild was also ranked second in the advanced ranking guild in Kastra Communal Country.

This was completely out of everyone's expectations. Only Niu Dazong did not seem to care. It was as if everything was in his imagination, and he was always the one who kept everything to himself!

Napa was in an excellent mood. She brought the six contestants to the best hotel to eat the best food and drink the best wine.

The Sacred Ground Hotel was a hotel exclusive to soul masters. Furthermore, the average rank of soul masters was not allowed to enter, only high rank or high rank soul masters were qualified. The cost was also quite high, and if it wasn't for the fact that they were always rich, they wouldn't be able to enjoy such a place.

Everyone opened a private room. The baby and Ling Feng did not care about anything else, and as soon as the dishes came, they would eat. When the wine was drunk to the cup, the other students ignored the toasts and immediately became two gluttons. The two boys and girls had truly suffered too much. They constantly cultivated and travelled nonstop. In the future, they would face many life and death battles. How could they not replenish their strength?

Napa expressed her understanding and looked at the two children with gratification. They were her hope!

Niu Dazong only took a few sips of wine, "Hey, old boss, it's about time, right?"

Napa laughed out loud. "Great Brave One, I can't hide anything from you. Count me in three. My men definitely have a time limit!"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a door opening echoed and a middle-aged man walked in. He sat down and opened a bottle of wine. After half the bottle was swallowed, he introduced Wang Lai to the crowd, "This Wang Lai is our guild's special representative for the Pontiff's Tower. The room that everyone is sitting in is our guild's permanent contact point for the Holy Land."

Wang Lai looked at the crowd and asked, "Who took action today?" His gaze swept past Niu Dazong and the other contestants.

The baby did not even look at him directly, "So what if he attacks? "If you're afraid of death, you won't come here!"

Wang Lai shuddered and looked at Napa with a wry smile. "My dear mother, this girl has such a frightening aura. I, Old Wang, can't stand it!" This time, our guild has some hope. "

Napa's face was filled with thought, "Wang Lai, how did you know that our people had made a move? Could the news have traveled so fast? "

"Of course, what do you think this place is? This is a holy land, if there's any random movement, the Pontiff's Tower will immediately receive the news." This time, our men have been able to push back the people of Wang City's Soul Master Guild with one move, making our mood rise in this competition, it is a good thing but also a bad thing for us.

Saying it is a good thing is naturally because we have changed the decadence of the old days, big face in front of people.

However, this is not too good either. If we reveal our strength too early, we will become the target of public criticism.

"Absolute strength is the absolute truth. No matter how heaven and earth fall or heaven collapse, he only relies on his strength to support himself!" Ling Feng said indifferently. His voice was filled with sadness. Although he did not do anything, the other competitors were astonished.

Wang Guan looked at the cold young man. He had a handsome face and was dressed in a white robe. It was not possible to disguise the temperament of an expert.

Wang Lai was only a 5-ringed Soul Grandmaster, and his cultivation base could be considered pretty good. More importantly, the reason he'd been able to stay in the Pontiff's Tower for so long was because of his experience and ways of handling matters. He was constantly observing Ling Feng, and every time his eyes landed, Ling Feng would especially highlight that place.

He tried a few more times, but before his eyes could fall, Ling Feng had already revealed that place. After that, he saw that place, which was clearly for him to look at in more detail.

"Awakened! Awakened!" Advanced awakening, this isn't an ordinary elementary awakening or intermediate awakening. Even he can follow my gaze. This brat isn't human, he's clearly a demon! We, our guild, have hope! Hahaha, the Heavens are on our side! It's been decades, and I, Old Wang, can also see the moment when our guild becomes stubborn.

Every day, in the august Pontiff's Tower, I submit to him because our Guild is not strong enough. In front of others, I can display my might, what powerful Soul Masters, members of the Pontiff's Tower, hehe, everyone in the circle knows, I belong to the soul masters of Croze Guild, my guild is one of the lower tier soul masters in the Soul Master Guilds. In order to make our guild strong, we have put in so much effort in this generation. We are all waiting for the day when we can stand up and be proud of our achievements.

Now, this day will no longer be far away from us, this is no longer a dream, we, we have hope! "Little brother, I, Old Wang, thank you for giving us hope. I, Old Wang, will kneel down before you!"

As he spoke, he knelt down abruptly. How could Ling Feng let him really kneel down? He gave the baby a meaningful glance, and when the baby lifted him up with his palm, Wang Lai's kneeling finally stopped.

At this time, the crowd, Nappa, Niu Dazong, Mu Wushuang, Talon, and Leng Jun all had hot tears in their eyes.

They had spent more time in the guild than Ling Feng and Baby, so they naturally knew how difficult it was. Was Niu Dazong really afraid of death? Of course not. That was because he was more intelligent and knew that even if he died, it would be useless. He would not bring any benefits to the guild.

Everyone returned to the Lanke Hotel that Wang Lai had reserved for everyone. It was a medium-sized hotel that was not ostentatious, but its interior decorations were luxurious, suitable for the contestants to settle in.

There were two more days until the official competition started. Napa went to the organization committee's location alone – the Pontiff would register for the competition while the contestants rested on their own.

Ling Feng could not stay in his room and went for a stroll on the street.

Although it was already late in the morning, the pedestrians were still oblivious to the situation. The losers were still rushing towards the Pontiff's Tower, performing their kowtowing ceremonies one after another.

The patrolling horses passed one by one, but they all saw the bright armor of the knights, the steel spears in their hands, and what was even more peculiar was that each of them had three Tartars on their waists, and Ling Feng's heart was cold. According to this equipment, every ordinary soldier had the equivalent of having a soul skill.

Once a war broke out, the soldiers would be equipped with a large number of Tarot cards. This meant that the soldiers would immediately possess the skill of a Soul Master. What kind of combat strength was this? But if the allied forces of Castro and the East Ocean truly wanted to act against Luud, how could they resist such a powerful force?

Ling Feng frowned thoughtfully as he walked, his heart worried about the future of the mainland. If war went on, the ultimate victims would not be the common people.

Suddenly, a lazy voice called out, "A pot of wine in a flower. Drinking alone for a blind date. If you want me to say, there's nothing in the world that can disturb the mediocre, some people just can't bear to see it. Haha, 90% of things in the world don't go according to plan, everything is not as worrisome as everything else! "

Ling Feng looked over and saw a ragged "beggar" sitting at the corner with a bottle in his hand, gulping down mouthfuls and gulps of strong alcohol.

He knew what the beggar meant, so he sat down and handed him a bottle of brandy. He also took out a bottle of martini.

This scene was simply too bizarre. A noble youth was sitting together with a ruined beggar. It was a scene filled with a sense of unfamiliarity.

From the looks of Ling Feng, he had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tall stature. Other than his tattered clothes, he was filled with a valiant aura, and his face was rather handsome. He did not look like a mortal, probably not much older than Ling Feng.

"Bro, why are you feeling so bad? For you to have such a powerful strength, it must be something that will make others feel uncomfortable! "

Ling Feng was shocked, he could even feel this? In that case, his cultivation should not be simple.

"Brother Chu, you're an extraordinary person. You should also be here to participate, right?"

"Well, I'm not even worried about a bastard. What reason do you have to sigh and cheer up? There are no obstacles in your life that you can't get through! "There are many who would risk their lives, but not many who would dare to risk their lives!"

"Brother cuddly, you taught me well. What are you waiting for?"

"There's no need to ask. A barbarian once raped a pitiful girl. I was born into this world." There are many sufferings in the world. Do your best, young man. " They looked like they were all old people.

The beggar stood up and left without looking back. With his back facing Lingfeng, he raised the wine bottle high up, "Good wine! Thank you for the wine. If fate wills it, we will meet again!"

Looking at the beggar's back as he left, Ling Feng shook his head and laughed bitterly. How could he have reached such a height! There are all kinds of outstanding people here, but I was still too short-sighted …

The next morning, Napa led them to the first floor of the hotel for breakfast. Although the breakfast was not a sumptuous one, it was very delicious. There were various types of small dishes, such as porridge, bread, and some unknown snacks. All of them were exactly the same.

In a moment, the entire table was filled with food. Ling Feng felt a great sense of joy, as if his worries had been eaten as well.

Napa's expression turned serious, "Everyone, I investigated a bit yesterday, because of the importance of this competition, all the participating guilds have sent out their strongest experts, and what worries me the most are the Da Wo Soul Master Association of Ranadu Communal Country and the Holy Land Soul Master Association of the old faction."

"The Sacred Land's Soul Master Association was the champion of the previous competition, so their strength is unquestionable. However, that Great Spirit Master Guild is only ranked at the bottom of the ranking list in Ranadu. Their previous achievements are still below ours, so why would the president care so much about their guild?"

"To be honest, because of the baby and Ling Feng, I am quite confident about this competition. If I meet the Sacred Ground's Soul Master Guild, I believe I will be able to do it."

But who would have thought that their guild's new recruit a super expert, that expert is a Heaven General, and his rank is higher than mine. As for the Davao Soul Masters Guild, it was unknown what method they used to recruit an expert among them. That expert's name was Gu Shengtian, and according to reliable sources, he was able to injure a person sixteen days old without leaving a trace within two moves.

This kind of strength is a terrifying level of existence! " Napa sighed.

Mu Wushuang asked curiously: "The Sacred Land's guild has already reached a frightening level of strength in the past, and has also increased the rank of Heavenly General before the President to become a strong helper. Could it be that Hou Xiaobai will become a general on the second day?"

The moment this name was mentioned, aside from Ling Feng and Baby, everyone else had extremely ugly expressions. They felt that their breathing had become much more hurried.

After a while, Napa still nodded reluctantly, "That's right! The moment the Heavenly Fiend Divine General, Hou Xiaobai, appears, the heavens will punish him! "

Ling Feng also felt the heaviness of the problem. With Pa as the 3rd day general, his strength would naturally be the strongest, causing him to feel fearful. In that case, what kind of existence would the 2nd day be?

"Hey, old man, what level is your strength on the second day compared to yours?" The baby seemed to be a worm in Ling Feng's stomach, and helped him ask the question he wanted to ask.

"I'm just a firefly. Brother Ling, take care. Your life is better than everything else, and your reputation is nothing to worry about! "

Napa was cunning, but his heart was kind. Although Ling Feng was strong, how could he have the confidence to win against Hou Xiao on the second day? Hence, he made it clear in advance to relieve the pressure.

Napa then introduced everyone to the situation: "The competition is divided into four groups, each with a seeded team. Each group is divided into eight teams, and the elimination system. The eliminated teams and contestants are not allowed to go onstage, so our arrangement must be careful.

The fewer people there are, the more difficult the match will be. This is a life and death battle that does not care about life and death, the other teams all wish for the contestants to die in the arena for glory, but what I want to advise everyone here is that if not, they should first save their lives!

Each team would draw lots to decide which teams to fight against. As long as one team won, they would be able to enter the next round's top 16 matches. After that, a random match would result in a team losing and entering the top 8.

Then the four finalists, and finally the runner-up to the title of champion. "As long as we enter the top four, there will be prizes and awards. We don't necessarily have to fight for the title of champion. If we get into the top eight or top sixteen, we can also get honor."

As he said that, he looked towards Ling Feng, as if he was specifically telling Ling Feng to listen.

Ling Feng laughed coldly, "Do you think this young master is just a decoration? The one who instigated me to participate in the competition was you, and the one who spoke disheartening words was you as well. What was going to happen next day? If they didn't touch him, how would they know who was stronger and who was weaker! You don't have any confidence in me, Old Ling! "

The baby was also unhappy, "Big brother, you have not seen many of my tricks. If there was a betting table, I would definitely bet everything on you." Everyone seemed to be encouraged and their expressions became much better.

When the day of the competition arrived, the contestants steeled their spirits and headed towards the venue of the competition, the Sacred Grounds Plaza.

The moment they entered the plaza, Lingfeng cheered in his heart. As expected of the Sacred Grounds, such a grand scene. The plaza was ten square kilometers wide, and there were more than twenty thousand soul masters seated in the surrounding area.

If one wasn't a Soul Master, then one didn't have the qualifications to watch this sort of competition. Even the lowest ranked Soul Masters didn't have the qualifications.

There were a group of organizing committee members sitting on the podium. On both sides of the podium, there were sixteen small seats that had been built long ago. Each seat had a large flag marked with the names of the participating guilds.

The first two levels were occupied by the chairman and staff, but there was only one seat on the third floor, so no one dared to take a seat. The Soul Masters didn't even have the courage to glance at the seat, thought Lingfeng.

Before long, the teams were in place one after another. Ling Feng turned his gaze to the side and saw that the one seated right next to them was the guild from the Royal City that had clashed with them the other day.

The Lord Chairman, Quinn, was looking at Napa with an evil eye. Napa was confident as he looked at Kun Peng with cold eyes.

"Humph, as long as you can match up to our guild, your guild Crozier will take it!" Quinn growled at Napa.

Napa, looking like an old urchin, was as angry as a man could be. "Come on, come on, damn you!"

Ling Feng's face was full of black lines. This old glass! Did I believe in the wrong person!?

The voice of the host came from the platform. He was a middle-aged man who appeared to be around forty years old, but he was filled with vigor.

"With the Pope's blessing, the holy land is at peace. The people of Castro Continent are peaceful. Our world of Soul Masters is flourishing and we have many talents. The soul master competition has provided a stage for our soul master experts to display their strength, and has also sent many elites to the Pontiff's Tower. I believe that the competition has already familiarized itself with the rules of the competition.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. The Pope will personally come to our competition grounds to give personal guidance. After that, the drawing of lots will begin!"
