On the day of finals for the defeated teams, the sun was shining brightly and there was a boundless stretch of blue sky. There seemed to be fine gold particles dancing in the air that put people in a good mood. There also seemed to be an unknown fragrance floating that made people feel carefree and happy.

In the air above the battle ring a few Gods hid and conversed in doubt.

“Don’t you think the atmosphere today was a little magical?” Sui Xiong looked up to the sky and down to the ground, then looked around. He said in distress, “I feel like the source of power of the world is surging faintly, as though it is going to cheer. Can all of you feel it?”

The other few Gods nodded. They felt the same thing.

“Who is going to be promoted to God? Or who is leveling up?” The God of Justice was the most experienced one. He thought for a while and made a few guesses. He first looked at Wor, then at Morani, and smiled. “It looks like I have to congratulate the two of you!”

As He had said, recently Wor and Morani’s divine power was improving by leaps and bounds. It was really like they were going to level up.

“I’m not sure,” Wor said. “It’s true that ever since I was promoted to God, my divine power has been advancing tremendously. I feel that the clergy of ‘knowledge’ seems to carry a heavy weight in the Root of the World. But to advance from faint divine power to weak divine power... I am not too confident.”

Everyone then looked at Morani.

Morani thought and shook his head. “Not me either. Although my divine power has increased tremendously and I could also faintly feel the nurturing of a new clergy, it isn’t time yet... I reckon I will have to wait till the Very First Martial Arts Contest ends first. My clergy will be ready then. Maybe by then I could break through weak divine power and enter intermediate divine power.”

The God of Justice muttered to Himself, “The importance of the knowledge clergy was to not practice reticence. According to my estimation, the clergy and its derivation should be able to support intermediate divine power. Along with the Very First Martial Arts Contest, maybe a ‘martial arts contest’ clergy will be formed under such attention. By then, if Morani were to achieve this clergy, moving from weak divine power to intermediate divine power... No, maybe a little further. Maybe you have to set up some restriction yourself, to concentrate divine power, to be able to enter intermediate divine power.

As the expert who was generally acknowledged among various Gods, and was everyone’s senior, his prediction was no doubt convincing.

Hence, the question redirected to the “martial arts contest” clergy.

“This clergy should be given to Oscar,” Morani said. “He didn’t even have a clergy until now. And the Very First Martial Arts Contest was actually His idea. So, really, the clergy should belong to Him.”

“But I do not feel any sympathy or compatibility with the clergy,” Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and said. “Would a God be able to accept a clergy that He has no sympathy for?”

Obviously not. In order for a God to gain the clergy of a certain belief, he himself must accept it from the bottom of his heart. His belief must be compatible with it, and he must respond sympathetically from the source of His power.

It was the only downfall of these clergies. If you didn’t agree with it, you wouldn’t be able to get it.

Comparatively, the nature clergy didn’t mind one way or another, but it required one to understand and master the nature element at an extremely high level. Then one would obtain the clergy.

Comparatively, belief clergies would be easier to obtain. That’s why among all Gods in the world, most of the Gods were promoted via belief clergies.

Various Gods made speculations but in the end, they still couldn’t be certain of the reason that caused the agitation of the Source of the World.

But regardless, there was a strong divine power, a weak divine power, and two faint divine powers gathered together at the moment. When necessary, they could drag along a faint divine power to assist them. There were also three real God experts that had not achieved clergy. In regards to fighting power, needless to say, the God of Justice was known to be the top of the experts. This meant that only the unfathomable King of Order was above Him.

Sui Xiong and Morani, who both had a record of defeating intermediate divine powers, fell under the typical fighting power over divinity. Silent Knight, under Morani, was only a faint divine power. But his battle power was not inferior to a normal weak divine power.

The other two God followers under Him were “giant catfish” and “giant earthworm.” Although they were not intelligent, they were both qualified godly flesh shields. Even Wor who had just become a God not long ago was an incredible assassin, so He wasn’t afraid of battle. Among all the Gods, the only one that couldn’t fight would be the God of Happiness, Javier... that’s not right. He only couldn’t fight head on. But as an auxiliary, He would be up to standard.

With such battle power, even if there was any conflict or danger, who would they be afraid of?

Not to mention the ocean that was not far away. During necessary times, the new born Goddess of Ocean who was close to Sui Xiong could bring along Her few God followers anytime to assist with the war!

Even sending an entire God system wouldn’t be sufficient to defeat them!

Then, everyone became fearless and continued to focus on the contest that day. action

This round was one of the last in the Very First Martial Arts Contest. The last two contestants from the defeated team would have to fight against each other. The winner would continue to fight against the champion of the winning team, who had a completely unbroken record, and fight for the throne of number one in the world; while the loser would at least be third in the world, which was not too shabby.

But if there was a chance to fight for number one in the world, who would be willing to be third?

Hence, the two contestants entered the ring and had a ferocious fight, as though they were thunder against fire.

The two contestants were well-known experts across the world. One was the top expert from the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, who was known as the superb sharpshooter. It was said that “not one wouldn’t fall before the God of Bow.” The figure that possessed the simple yet gloriously radiant title “God of Bow” was Lewre Spoolin. He was a branch royal member of Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, as well as the leader of a knight group from the church of the Goddess of Spring Water. He wasn’t great at battle but excelled in horsemanship and archery.

Lewre had a baby face, but it suited him. He was in his mid-thirties and he was known to be a genius archer since he was young. During the war when the Kingdom of a Thousand Springs defended against the invasion of Kingdom of the Blue Moon, he once rode alone. Then he killed 29 famous knights along with countless normal soldiers in battle. He drove back the army of Kingdom of the Blue Moon alone. Later on, he even marked a terrifying record by killing a legendary expert with his identity of higher order. The one that he killed was an important figure of the Kingdom of the Blue Moon: Prince Merlin, a great legendary mage.

As an archer, the weapon that Lewre was used to was a bow named “Wyndham.” The origins of the bow couldn’t be verified. The Goddess of Spring Water once gave out an order personally to appraise it, but in the end, She could only determine that it was from ancient times and once a powerful godly item. However, it was damaged during a huge war and it lost its power as time passed. It was far from recovering to its height of power and splendor. Maybe it would never recover.

Regardless, the power of the bow wasn’t to be trifled with. It wouldn’t be mislead. As long as it was accurately aimed, it would accurately hit the target. The arrows that were shot via the bow would be hard to withstand; the commonly seen defense magic and heavy armor would be nominal before it. If Lewre was willing to, he could even expend his power of life to bestow curses upon the arrows. Back then, Master Merlin had at least five to six defense magic spells, but not one took effect after being shot. He died on the battlefield.

Lewre’s character was bashful and gentle. He normally stayed in remote area and trained in his estate alone. The fact that he would participate in the Very First Martial Arts Contest was already out of many people’s expectations.

During the battle in the past, he had eliminated quite a number of experts such as “the reliable Nicholas,””Bomber Hand” Felix, Magic sword Baster’s clone, “Armor Magic Sword” Phil; they were all defeated by his bow.

On the other side, Soocher lived a tough life. She was born in a noble family. Because she was born a Psionicist, it brought a lot of trouble to his family and she was abused and almost abandoned. Later on, she was unearthed by the church of the God of the Thunder. She received training in the church and finally became a member of “Hammer of Sanction.” Then she regained the acknowledgement of her family and society.

The female holy knight was used to halberd. She could incorporate her lightning power and inborn psionic energy, instinctually turning lightning into a solid physical weapon. In countless battles, regardless if she was fighting against a human or a magic beast, she could fight bravely and consistently without any hesitation. She did not flinch but swept away all obstacles.

She was wearing full covered armor. Even during her everyday life, she hardly took it off. It was said that underneath the airtight armor, there was a beautiful golden-haired girl. However, it was only a legend.

She once took off the armor but no one could see how she looked. She even turned into boundless lightning, just like a thunder element.

Under such situations, she could use an extremely powerful thunderclap to attack. There was once when she used a powerful Lightning Axe to kill a legendary magic beast, and hence gained the name “Axe of Lightning God.”

In fact, the holy knight wasn’t hard to get along with normally. She always brought her underlining from Hammer of Sanction to cut off wicked and magic beasts, and her fame was spread extensively.

When she participated in the Very First Martial Arts Contest, her battle achievements were extraordinary. Oveila, who used the pseudonym “Pan,” was also knocked out because of her. There were another few famous experts knocked out by her, and their capabilities were all extremely strong without a doubt.

Compared to Mister Alan from the winning team who was not very famous before joining the Very First Martial Arts Contest, the two from the defeated team were generally acknowledged as the most impressive experts in main dimension below legendary realm.
