C257 To the Capital City

During the period when Gordon was recuperating, Qingtian had walked around freely in Lincoln City a few times. Almost everyone in the city knew him and regarded him as a hero. There were even many beautiful women who threw flirtatious glances at him. However, there were quite a number of beautiful women in Qingtian, and they did not want to leave any more loose ends here.

After spending nearly twenty days in vain, Gordon's injuries were healing at an astonishing speed. Although the wounds on his body hadn't fully healed yet, he could still move freely. It was impossible to tell that he had suffered such a serious injury before. That night, Gordon brought Qingtian to a room alone. He seemed to have something very important to say to him.

"City Lord, what brings you here?" Qingtian asked after sitting down.

"It's true, Ashlow. There's a very troublesome matter right now. I think no one else can do it except you." Gordon's attitude was very sincere. He did not look like a duke at all.

" Oh? Tell me, what can I do for you? Could it be that the Devil Beast is going to invade again? Their frequency shouldn't be that fast, right?" Now that they had just won the war, there shouldn't be any need for him. So, Qingtian was also a bit confused.

"It's like this, because this place is attacked once every two years by the Devil Beast... So every time we fight, we fight. But luckily, we can always force them back, even though we can't root them out forever. But this is already a very good result. Sigh, if it wasn't for the inunity within the clan, how could these Devil Beast be our match? " Speaking of which, Gordon's face was filled with indignation, as if he was very dissatisfied with this ununified clan. However, he only looked at the problem from the outside, and didn't realize that he was also one of them. Furthermore, it was a force.

"Fortunately, every city has their own communication. One month after the victory of the Devil Beast War, the competition will be held in the capital city. There will be about a few dozen young people from each city who will participate in the competition with the most outstanding performance during the fight against the Devil Beast. Basically, it would be held once every two years, not only to help people escape the pain brought by the attack of the Devil Beast. It is also indirectly displaying the strength of the young generation of each force. " Gordon explained slowly. Qingtian already knew what he wanted to say. "It's a competition. Of course, I want to participate in the long term competition!"

"But every year, our people face the most Devil Beast. Many outstanding people are sacrificed in the battle. Therefore, although we pay the most, we are always left at the back of the competition. We are ridiculed by others. But this year we have hope, because of your arrival... It has given us hope." Indeed, Tian Qingtian had guessed right. Gordon had been suppressed all year round. Now, he finally had a chance to make a name for himself. If he didn't vent his anger, he believed that a person would die from suffocation.

However, at this moment, Qingtian couldn't help but admire the wolf. Everything had been clearly calculated by him. He pressed forward step by step, interlocking with each other! Knowing that he had come here, he had no choice but to do what he wanted: protect the city, fight the Devil Beast, participate in the competition, and become famous in one battle! Such an arrangement was clearly the most advantageous to Qingtian. The seemingly silent wolf seized the time and threw Atlas into a huge machine. It forced him to operate inside. But the wolf didn't know that the screw thrown into the machine was extremely unstable. It would explode!

"I understand what City Lord means. He wants me to participate in this competition, right?" However, Atlas still had half a sentence that he had not finished. It was a blood stain to increase his position. However, he could only silently think of this in his heart. Don't underestimate this competition. It was not some simple entertainment activity. The political goal was very obvious. It was obviously a competition between the new forces of the various major forces. Whoever won would have a better future.

"Okay, I promise you. But you have to agree to my conditions." Qingtian said it without thinking. "What conditions? As long as you agree, I can agree to any conditions. Even if you want to be the City Lord, I will agree. " After hearing Qingtian's words, Gordon was overly happy and spoke without thinking.

"My request is very simple. This time, I will be the only one going. I don't want to bring any other burdens with me. " The remaining youths should let them build the city walls with peace of mind! The damage this time was quite serious. Without proper construction, how could they withstand the next Devil Beast attack? Qingtian did not want to bring a few burdens with him. At that time, it would affect his judgment and strength. It was better for him to be on his way. This place wasn't like the Magic Tower Continent, where everyone had their own secret technique. It was hard to guarantee that they would win every battle.

"This? Sure!" After much consideration, Gordon finally made a decision. "This year's competition will only send Ashlow alone." After the news was announced, no one objected. Originally, everyone who went was beaten down. This was not bad. Some people simply went to make fun of themselves. Every time, not only did they return in defeat, but they were also made fun of. Although these young men were all young and vigorous, they could not do anything in the face of the ruthless reality. Therefore, when Gordon announced the news, the first thing that everyone felt was relief, followed by confidence and worship.

However, this couldn't be blamed on them. Every time they fought... Many outstanding young men would charge to the front line. Due to the overall strength being low, Gordon had no choice but to place all the experts in the front line. This way, he could better block the Devil Beast. However, because of this, many of the young men with strength were either killed or disabled by the Devil Beast. In the end, only the second-tier team members could be sent out. This time, it was completely different. There was a young man who was even stronger than the City Lord in the city. In the battle, one person repelled all the Devil Beast. This news had long been spread far and wide, and some of them had done it on purpose. Indirectly, it had made Qingtian famous.

Qingtian didn't know the way to the capital, nor did he want to bring others with him. Thus, he specifically went to visit Tu Lu. This kind fatty warmly received Qingtian. After learning of his difficulties, he gave Tian Qingtian a detailed map of this continent. "Ashlow, I told you that you would be able to make a name for yourself, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. I also didn't expect that you would be so much stronger than I had imagined. It's a pity that we have the strength to do so. We can only watch you from afar. But you still haven't forgotten about me. I'm truly touched. Come, let me show you something good!" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.

Not long after, Turu took out a portrait. It was an exquisite portrait, depicting the scene of the battle that day. Tian Qingtian held his sword with one hand and pointed it at the tyrannosaurus in front of him. Behind him was the half-destroyed city wall. Behind the tyrannosaurus were countless Devil Beast. The portrait was vivid and lifelike, as if Atlas was a god that had descended to the mortal world. Floating in the air, a man and a sword guarded the city. On the other hand, the Devil Beast on the opposite side all revealed looks of fear. Although he didn't know who drew it, this scene was pretty good. Looking at the painting, Qingtian smiled and didn't say anything.

"You don't know. Almost every family would buy such a portrait and hang it at home as decoration. I'm so proud of you. " Turu carefully put away the portrait and said to Qingtian.

"Hehe. Alright, Tu Lu, there aren't many days left until the competition. I have to go back and prepare. I'll come back to see you when the competition ends. " After saying that, Qingtian got up and left. Turu warmly sent him far away. Furthermore, he told him that he would go to the capital to deliver the goods during the competition, and then he would be able to see his heroic bearing. Qingtian smiled helplessly. This person was really loyal. In general, he had helped him many times, but he was still so good to him. In the future, when there was a chance, he would definitely repay him.

After preparing for a few more days in City Lord's Mansion, Qingtian continued to cultivate his Golden Core. However, at this time, his Golden Core was extremely stable, and there was no reaction at all. No matter how much spiritual energy Qingtian absorbed, this purple Golden Core was like a black hole that couldn't be filled. He took them one by one. After a long time, Tian Qingtian finally gave up on trying. "It seems that I have to wait for an opportunity to break through, just like when I fought against winter in the Ice and Snow Shrine. In the end, I tried my best. Although I failed, my Golden Core improved rapidly. I almost broke my Golden Core and became a Nascent Soul. He still had to slowly find an opportunity.

The next step is to reach the capital city, the center of power in this world!
