Chapter 1450: Holy Lady, Rewards, Rules
Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!
Deafening sounds rand out as an endless flow of inner members of the Sun Moon Tribe flew towards the fighting ground and then towards the northern stands.
The entire fighting ground slowly quietened down as everyone observed the scene before them.
The inner members had arrived and the fight meet was going to begin.
Su Mo stared staunchly at the entrance, anticipating Qing Xuan’s arrival. Although he couldn’t do anything even if Qing Xuan came, he still hoped he could see her personally.
Five years!
Since he had left Firmament World, it had been a whole five years since he saw Qing Xuan.
Furthermore, Qing Xuan was also stuck in the Netherworld Devil Sect in the Firmament World and she didn’t have any freedom for ten years.
Su Mo always felt his heart squeezing in pain every time he thought about this. He felt sorry for Qing Xuan.
Although Qing Xuan had obtained her freedom now, the cost of this was her previous memories. Wasn’t that cost too high?
“Why hasn’t she arrived yet?” Su Mo was feeling slightly anxious now. With over 1000 Sun Moon inner tribe members already present, he still hadn’t seen any signs of Qing Xuan.
A few moments later, around 10 thousand Sun Moon Tribe members had arrived. By now, there was no one else entering the fight ground.
“She didn’t come!”
Su Mo sighed as he felt helpless and dejected. In that instant, he did not have any motivation left to continue being at the fight meet.
Right at that moment, a dozen men flooded through the gates.
The dozen men were led by a tall and skinny middle aged man. With hawk-like eyes and a gaze that seemed like lightning, the aura he carried on him was massive and Su Mo thought that the man was probably a Martial Sage.
Behind this Martial Sage was the other Sun Moon inner tribe members, male and female, young and old.
“Qing Xuan!” Su Mo’s eyes widened in flee as he spotted Qing Xuan in the crowd.
Hong Qing Xuan wore a long blue skirt as she stood behind the Martial Sage. With a tall and elegant body, she was indeed a young beauty.

Her hair was exceptionally long. Like a black waterfall, it fell down below her waist.
At that point, although Hong Qing Xuan’s appearance had not changed, her entire aura was vastly different from before. There was no more immaturity and childishness. Instead, she had become gentle, refined, elegant and noble. With her outstanding features, she was now a godly beauty and attracted many men’s gazes.
In actual fact, Qing Xuan’s presence seemed to overpower the aura of the Martial Sage in front of her as she became the focal point of the entire area.
The elegant Holy Lady whose name and fame had spread through the entire Sun Moon Star and even Ming Xu Galaxy. Her beauty and talents were one of a kind and is was naturally expected that she would attract everyone’s attention.
Su Mo even had a passing thought where he found that Qing Xuan’s aura was very similar to Senior Qian Xue Yue, even to the extent that they were mirror images of each other.
The Martial Sage did not stop walking as he led Qing Xuan and the group towards the northern stands. Then, he sat down on the top most seat.
“Greetings to Elder Yin Ze!”
“Greetings to Elder Yin Ze!”
“Greetings to Elder Yin Ze!”
Everyone on the east, south and west stands stood up and cupped their fists towards the Martial Sage.
The Sun Moon Tribe wasn’t like the other superpowers. Since one could only become an elder after becoming a Martial Sage, there were very few elders in the tribe.
Hence, the status of every elder was very high.
Su Mo also stood up to salute the elder. However, his gaze remained locked on Qing Xuan.
At that moment, Qing Xuan was seated beside Elder Yin Ze and her eyes scanned the entire fighting grounds like water.
Qing Xuan did not take notice of Su Mo’s gaze. This is because the number of stares she received was already uncountable.
Su Mo sighed a heavy breath as he suppressed the urge within him to rush forward and greet Qing Xuan. If he were too hasty, it would result in his death.
“Stand at ease everyone, please sit!” Elder Yin Ze waved his long robe aside as he acknowledged them with a greeting. His voice boomed like thunder out over a 100 kilometre radius.

Then, the crowd slowly took their seats as they waited for further instructions of Elder Yin Ze.
Elder Yin Ze’s eyes scanned the entire scene like lightning before he shouted, “the fight meet between the seven superpowers has always been a way for the Sun Moon Tribe to recognise the talents of the superpowers. Every fight meet has rewards and there is no exception this time round.
I will announce the rewards for this fight meet. Those ranked from the 4th place to the 10th, can obtain a month’s free access to the top floor of the Imperial Pagoda and a Middle Honourable Weapon.
The 3rd rank will obtain a month’s free access to the top floor of the Imperial Pagoda and an Upper Honourable Weapon.
The 2nd rank will an additional Upper Honourable Martial Skill on top of the 3rd rank’s rewards.
The 1st ranked will receive one round of guidance on how to enter the Empty God Realm, on top of the 2nd rank rewards.”
Elder Yin Ze’s voice rang loud and clear across the fighting ground as he announced the rewards of the fight meet to everyone.
Pst! Pst! Pst!
The moment his words fell, the crowd sucked in their breaths.
The rewards for this fight meet were so valuable!
To say nothing of the free access to the Imperial Pagoda, the Upper Honourable Weapon, the Upper Honourable Martial Skill and the guidance to enter the Empty God Realm were invaluable for a Martial Emperor.
An Upper Honourable Weapon and Martial Skilll was many times more valuable than a Lower Honourable Weapon and Martial Skill.
For the True Path Sect disciples, it wouldn’t be possible for them to obtain such rewards in the short run or even to become true inner disciples of the sect in the future.
As for the guidance to enter the Empty God Realm, it was a priceless opportunity that had innumerable benefits to it.
Of course, although the crowd was surprised, they weren’t too taken aback. Afterall, the top 10 disciples ranked in the fight meet would gradually be taken into the Sun Moon Tribe when they become future Marital Honourables. Eventually, they would even become a part of the Sun Moon Tribe.
Lu Gang, Lin Huang, Tang Gu, Yan Ho Mo Lang and the other top talents of the superpowers had their eyes flash with desire as the battle spirit within them rose exponentially.
With the rewards for the fight meet being so large, they were even more motivated to be in the top ten. Even if they didn’t obtain a weapon and a martial skill, the opportunity to enter the Imperial Pagoda freely for a whole month was already a massive reward.
In the entire fighting ground, all the disciples of the superpowers were rushing with excitement as they dreamed of entering the top ten ranked.
Only Su Mo appeared to not be bothered by the rewards. He continued to stare at Qing Xuan intently, thinking deeply as to how he could get close to her.
With so many people at the fight ground, and with Qing Xuan seated beside Elder Yin Ze and the Sun Moon inner tribe members, he did not have the slightest chance of getting close to her.
At that moment, Elder Yin Ze spoke again loudly, “the rules of this fight meet remains the same as previous times: you may challenge each other freely. One point is obtained for every victory achieved and the points will be totalled at the end. One point is deducted for every battle lost. If you lose three times, you will lose the chance to challenge or be challenged. Also, for every round, everyone can only challenge once. You may not challenge those who have already challenged someone else!”
“Understood?” After explaining the rules, Elder Yin Ze asked, his voice loud and fierce.
“Understood!” The disciples of the seven superpowers answered in unison. The rules were similar to previous meets. Although it couldn’t quite be considered fair, the process was fairly simple.
Su Mo was at a loss for words upon hearing the rules. With such rules, how long would they have to battle for?

A powder keg waiting to blow, but no one dares to make the first move.After the formation of the adventures guild and the mercenary guild most nations dissolved their militarises and instead the army is more of a policing force than an offensive one while the guilds hunt down dangerous creatures and monsters that appears in the world.The nations have changed their ways from war to one of assassination, espionage, economics and diplomacy.

While officially there is no assassin's guild or thieves guild they do sure exist and are thriving like never before in the current political climate. That and the other guilds don't stop them since they also hire their services from time to time.The various temples and religions have no official power part from some nations which are based around a belief. In actuality though they have considerable powers since they control the masses just as well as the rulers themselves. Get on their bad side and you might just find an assassin coming for you. A young woman gets thrown into this grimdark world from our own. Will she survive the curveball that gets thrown in her face as she changes into something else? Map created by Maximeplasse This fiction is based on my play-per-post RP that I've run before but with my own take on summoned characters and dungeon settings. At certain points I'll also allow reader decisions if the story gets popular enough. xD It's unrelated to the D&D Theron setting; Telduria I just liked the name and the map when I started up the RP back in the day.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
