CHAPTER 639: CHAPTER 131: THE DARK HORSE RISING SUDDENLY

Seeing Elder Helian walk away with a heavy heart, the look of satisfaction on Elder Yu’s face became even more conspicuous.

He was certain that Ye Beiming and Feng Tian would eventually encounter each other.

As for victory, he had absolute confidence in Great Elder’s personally trained disciple, Ye Beiming.

The martial artist looked at Elder Yu with confusion: "Right, Elder, I actually forgot to mention, you asked me to keep an eye on the Sky Wings Arena, and there have been several major events there these past few days."

Besides caring about his own trainees, Elder Yu was also very concerned about the competition at Sky Wings Arena.

As is well-known, Sky Wings Arena is the pinnacle fighting arena for martial artists, mages, and summoners on the continent.

There, those who earn the title of Fighting King will become prominent figures on the continent in the future.

The Mainland Elite Camp also pays great attention to these rising figures.

"Oh, has another dark horse emerged? Is it in the Earth Wing District or the Sky Wing District?" In Elder Yu’s eyes, the likes of Feng Tian and Ye Beiming were absolute dark horses.

However, even if they didn’t rise in the Sky Wings Arena, they would rise on the continent sooner or later – it was just a matter of time.

Of course, the only ones who could catch Elder Yu’s attention were competitors from those two districts.

"This time’s dark horse comes from the Yellow Wing and Xuanyi Districts. In the Yellow Wing District, there’s a duo named ’Flame Emperor’," the martial artist had just received this news.

"What kind of experts could there be in the Yellow Wing District?" Elder Yu sneered.

If he remembered correctly, the Yellow Wing District was restricted to martial artists of the Martial Saint level, with few Holy Mages or Martial Arts Sect level contenders.

In Elder Yu’s eyes, the competitions in the Yellow Wing District were like child’s play; he even disdained sending his own trainees to participate in that district’s competitions.

Think about it, martial artist battles below the level of Martial Arts Sect and Holy Mages – what could be so interesting about them?

They are merely intermediate combat skills and intermediate magic. To someone of Emperor Level like Elder Yu, these skills and magic were practically like slow motion.

"There aren’t exactly any masters, but the duo’s battle tactics are unique. They are a pair of female mages, one of whom can use Elf Healing Magic," the informant martial artist also took note of the Flame Emperor duo for this reason.

It’s said that this duo had only formed a few days ago.

Initially, their track record was mediocre, losing several matches, but about five days ago, the Flame Emperor duo began to win.

In these five days, they have won five matches.

"Elf Magic? Are they from Xianju Country?" Elf magic is indeed rare, and even rarer than Light Mages. In all the years of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, not one has appeared.

Because Elf Mages must inherently possess an elf bloodline. The elves of Xianju Country are particularly xenophobic, and their mages almost never appear on the continent.

"Probably not, but their tactics are quite special; one attacks while the other provides healing and support, allowing them to move through the Yellow Wing battlefield like fish in water," the informant martial artist commented with emotion.

Indeed, as a team, martial artists favor pairing up with healing-type mages, as this significantly increases the chances of success and reduces casualties on missions.

"One on the attack, and one on support, such a pairing can at most win against some mid to low-level competitors. But once it gets to the later stages, like entering the monthly competition, this strategy just won’t hold up. After all, how strong can the combat power of one person be," Elder Yu’s practical experience far surpassed that of these rookies from the Elite Camp.

In team battles, unless one side’s strength is overwhelmingly superior, a pair including an Elf Mage will ultimately fail.

Healing and support Mages have one thing in common: they are not skilled in attack magic, or in other words, their Magic Souls are not suited to learn offensive spells.

Of course, there are a few Mages on the continent who can study both defensive and offensive magic, but those are surely no less talented and demonic geniuses than Ye Beiming and Feng Tian.

And they must have made a name for themselves on the continent in their childhood, like Xia Wenxu of the Magic Temple for instance.

Whether or not this Elf Mage is from Xianju Country, the fact that she is currently competing in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone is proof that her magical talent is quite ordinary.

Therefore, Elder Yu can confidently determine that the current strong momentum of the "Flame Emperor" duo definitely won’t last until the monthly competition.

"It’s a pity, the opposing Elf Mage would be great if we could make use of her," lamented Elder Yu, "What notable event took place in the Xuanyi District you mentioned?"

The Xuanyi District is for Demon Beast competitions.

This zone has always been the most low-key, but also with the heaviest casualties because Demon Beasts are not human, and in the arena, bloodshed can send them into a frenzy.

In the Xuanyi Arena of the Sky Wings Arena, generally, the Demon Beasts appearing are below Ninth Rank.

"Just yesterday, in an ongoing contest within the Xuanyi District, a Demon Beast killed two patrolling judges and escaped. Right now, the people of Sky Wings Arena are hunting down that beast." The Xuanyi Arena tends to employ an extra judge due to the participation of Demon Beasts, unlike other competition zones.

Moreover, the additional judge is definitely a Summoner.

"You mean, including the Summoner, all the patrolling judges were killed? Was that Summoner from the Summoning Court?"

Nearly all Summoners on the continent come from the Summoning Court, and the Sky Wings Arena has a longstanding practice of borrowing Summoners from there.

"Yes, and what’s more, it was a Witch Summoner. I heard the Summoning Court is fuming and will be sending someone over soon," the Summoning Court is not to be trifled with, and a Witch Summoner’s abilities are far from ordinary.

"This doesn’t sound ordinary. The strength of the Summoning Court’s Summoners, particularly those of the Witch Beast Masters, should be more than enough to control a Ninth Rank Demon Beast," Elder Yu was quite surprised to hear this news.

This was far more shocking than the earlier news about the Elf Mage.

In fact, this news had become the hottest topic within Sky Wing City.

The whereabouts of that Demon Beast are still unknown.

The Xuanyi District is adjacent to the Earth Wing Competition Zone, and it just so happens that the Demon Beast’s zone was right next to that of the Martial Artist who competed that day.

The Martial Artist who brought the news had just witnessed the Demon Beast’s escape.

"That Demon Beast broke through during the match and became a Beast King Stage creature. The Summoner’s Demon Beast was no match for a Beast King. My fellow disciples and I, as well as some nearby juniors, all witnessed it."

The situation that day now appears to have been very dangerous. The Beast was an Earth Element Demon Beast, with strikingly powerful attacks.

After its breakthrough to the King-level, it comprehended a kind of Demon Beast inheritance.

It was a type of Earth Element Secret Magic called "Earth Pulse," and half of the Xuanyi Arena was destroyed in an instant.
