"Well, the tournament has two championships. One is to choose the champion of the younger generation which mostly have Body Strengthening disciples. The second championship is the main one, this is where the core disciples of the big sects compete. Considering you've reached the Core Formation stage and you're the Core disciples, you won't be competing with the younger generation but with us"
Michael grinned recalling the events that happened at Heaven's gate competition. At that time, Celena and her boyfriend Alex Fisher threatened him not to step on the 100th step, and ever since he came across Celena at the waterfall by mistake, she was looking to mess with him. This tournament looked like a good place to kick their asses and prove to everyone that he is the number one in Elon.
Just imagining how many badass points he could reap from this award made his blood boil in excitement.
"Why are you grinning?" Sadie creased her brows, seeing the grin on his face.
"Core disciples huh? I assume Celina and her boyfriend will be there" Michael did not stop the tinge of killing intent from emerging in his eyes.
"Yes, but you can't kill them. Killing is strictly forbidden in the tournament and it's the referees' job to keep the competitors alive"
"They can try," he snickered inside. He was positive that he could come up with a plan to kill anyone he wants at the competition with the help of his Alchemy talent and the help of the system.
"Is that so? Tell me more" However, he was not going to share his thoughts with Sadie.
"In the main championship, there will be 6 rounds. First-round, second-round, third-round, semi-final one, semi-final two, and the grand final. What type of contest and battles in each round will be decided by the tournament committee depending on the number of disciples competing"
Sadie continued to explain how the competition works. After taking mental notes, Michael asked,
"What about the first championship for the Body Strengthening stage disciples?"
"It's pretty straightforward. First-round will be a knockout round, the second will be one on one battle and the winners will yet again battle in the final. We would know who takes the championship in a couple of days after the tournament begins"
"I know who's going to win it, Gaya," Michael thought. Making Gaya reveal her true cultivation level to compete in the second championship might cause some unwanted suspicion on her but none would suspect her if he makes her look like a Body Strengthening stage cultivator and compete in the first championship.
He doubted the spell she was using to hide her cultivation lever would be enough to fool the competition committee. Hence, he planned to ask the system to help Gaya hide her true cultivation level. If they both won the championship of their league, it would catapult the sect's reputation through the sky.
"Young Master" while they were talking about the tournament, Mia finally returned with a silver space ring in her hand.
"All the items in the list are here. The space ring is on the house" Michael took the space ring from her hand to see the items inside. One could see metal bolts, gears, various colors of stones, coils, and many other components inside his ring. If he gave this ring to someone else, they wouldn't be able to make anything but thanks to his unique inventor trait, he could make hundreds of spiders and a few dozen drones.
"It'll be 8000 gold coins, Young Master Ghost"
"Only 8000?" Sadie was taken aback by surprise. She thought he's here to buy a weapon or potion recipe which would have definitely cost more than 20,000 gold coins yet what he bought was only 8000.
[The host should have brought all the items in the system store as it would have been high-quality items and saved you the time you've wasted here] The system's annoyed voice sounded in his mind.
"I could have if your prices weren't so outrageous. I can't afford to spend the points on anything unnecessary for now" Michael entered the system to reply.
[Take a loan host]
"Didn't I make myself clear before. I don't want any more loans"
[Hehe. You will take a loan] he was stunned for a moment hearing the system's laugh. He could swear that the laughter seemed sinister.
"So you can now laugh, good to know. Why do you think I'm gonna take a loan?"
However, the system did not reply as it went silent. Knowing that it wouldn't answer him no matter how many times he asks. He just exited the system and sighed in his heart.
"The space ring alone would cost 10,000 but yeah, I can see what's happening"
It wasn't uncommon to see trade centers like the burning star give discounts or freebies like this to establish a good relationship with figures like Michael, a 5-star Alchemist.
Michael accepted their gesture with a happy smile before willing the system to place stacks of 8300 gold coins on the ground.
"Keep the change, Mia"
"It was nice to see you again, Sadie" Michael turned his gaze away from Mia and looked at Sadie.
"Why don't we talk in private, in my room?" Mia's cheeks became red hearing the seductiveness of Sadie's voice.
"I have somewhere else to be Sadie. Besides, I have a girlfriend now"
