The Geared Immortal

Chapter 783

(Unedited)

…

Since it is already evening and the saint rulers have lost 3 of the representatives, they decided to meet with the people in charge of the tournament. They needed to make sure that everything would flow smoothly this time so that those who are watching this event would not falter their confidence and trust towards the leaders of the human race.

The meeting lasted long that the organizers decided to continue the contest the next day. They also tried to contact the people in Ji village to coordinate their plans. When the people in the broadcast station saw this they immediately inquire Lord Ji Ha-jun who then called Shin Jiao for the decision.

'Master Shin… I think that it would be wise for us to cooperate with the saint rulers. It would also be a way for us to be able to come out from the shadows rather than hide ourselves inside the village for the rest of our immortal lives. Well, that's what I think, but it's up to you to decide.' Ji Ha-jun said on the other end of the line.

"Hmm… You're right. The purpose why I did this thing in the first place is because I wanted the whole immortal land to recognize who we are and what we can do." Shin Jiao explained.

"But we cannot expose ourselves yet. It is too early… Just tell them that we can show them a few of the cameras. While the rest would be hidden so that it would not be a bother to the contestants…" Shin Jiao added.

Hearing his words, Ji Ha-jun nodded on the other end and after a few instructions, they drop the call.

While the organizers waited inside a large conference hall, they suddenly noticed four floating balls appearing in thin air.

When the saint rulers saw this they were astounded. This is because even with their power and ability they could not pinpoint where those things are. Although they are able to detect such presence inside the room, the total number and their locations are hard to predict.

One of the balls floated towards the front of the saint rulers. Then a small hole at the top opened and the hologram which displays the face of Ji Ha-jun appears.

'This humble one greets! The almighty saint rulers… I am Lord Ji Ha-jun the current administrator of Ji village.' Ji Ha-jun said while bowing his head in respect.

When the saint rulers saw this, they all showed a faint smile on their faces. The silver hair demi-human saint ruler slowly leans his body forwards and looks at the small ball.

"Your group has totally turned this event into something else. Entertaining and chaotic are some of the words that I can use to describe this situation… You people have guts I give you that." He said with a slight smirk.

'Ah… Saint ruler Agmon the Silver… It is my honor to see you again. I am deeply apologetic for our actions… But, we cannot just sit still while the influence has already spread throughout the human race territory; I hope that you can forgive us for our thoughtlessness.' Ji Ha-jun said with an apologetic expression.

Upon hearing his words and his sincere expression the rest of the saint rulers just smiled. They in fact are aware of this problem ever since some of their companions have been influenced by the darkness. However, as saint rulers, they are task with two things. One is to maintain the balance, and the second is to find a way to strengthen the human race.

For thousands of years, they have successfully maintained the balance in the human territory. However, due to that balance and peace, the humans became weak and pathetic compare to the other races. In fact, humans have been considered as one of the weakest races in the immortal land.

That's why thinking that the shadow influence is growing and the humans are experiencing the battle and the desperation; they thought that it would make the humans strong due to the trial by fire event.

"I have never thought that such a small village can pull out something like this. Tell us… who your real master is?" a beautiful saint ruler suddenly asked.

Hearing her question, Ji Ha-jun just showed a faint smile. He wanted to refute that Master Shin Jiao is not their master, but their benefactor. However, he would not dare refute a saint ruler. Hence he showed a faint smile on his face and then showed them the picture of Shin Jiao.

This is part of Shin Jiao's instruction so that the pressure would be lifted up from Ji Ha-jun's shoulder. Plus those who wanted to cause trouble would just focus on Shin Jiao and not his people. As long as he shows his face, then the sight of his enemy would be shifted toward him.

When the saint rulers saw his face and the information about him, they all gasp in disbelief. Not barely 5-years-old and yet he has reached level 79 and is alchemy and a craftsman. Who would have known that there is such a genius within the human race?

"This is really an eye-opener… I guess there would be another saint ruler within our midst in just a hundred years…" the silver-haired demi-human said with a smile.

"Alright, we will now convey what we wanted to happen in this tournament…"

The meeting continues with Ji Ha-jun also giving his suggestion and soon the next day came and everything is ready.

…

A tall platform was formed in the middle of the floating stadium while at the top of the stadium is a large four-directional screen floating.

By request of the saint rulers, they wanted everyone in the audience to see the battle on stage which would give them great insight into fighting and the Dao.

The stadium is already packed with people upon learning about the additional large screen at the top of the arena. So those who wanted to see the battle up close and be able to watch the replays have come to the arena.

Meanwhile, in the main cities, a large crowd has already gathered in front of the floating screens even above the city people using flying artifacts has already positioned themselves. Everything is like a festival and many even take this chance to hawk out their wares and food to earn additional income.

As the final battle is about to begin, the large display screen suddenly changes and the two familiar faces appear while sitting behind a white table like popular sports new anchors.

"Look! Raon Lee's new dress is really beautiful! And her accessories are unique… where can I get those?"

"Ah, Micahel Akon is really handsome… I wonder if he already as a Dao companion… Hihi…"

"…"

The people began to discuss upon seeing the two appearing on the screen. These two have already been considered a familiar face and their fame is already well-received. In Ji village, they are considered celebrities by many.

Micahel Akon is just a simple servant with a nice voice. Since he is unable to break through to the silver level, he has already given up. But he was discovered by Eva Jung one day as she found his voice really interesting.

With this chance, his normal servant life turned upside down just after the first broadcast. His unassuming existence was recognized and he feels thankful for Miss Eva for everything.

As Raon Lee began talking, Micahel Akon forces himself to smile and try to look confident. His part is to explain the abilities of each of the eighteen fighters and their capabilities. Unlike normal people, they have already reached the true nascent realm, hence their memory and ability are not ordinary.

When his turn came, he smiles in front of the camera and began explaining with confidence.

Those who are watching him, especially the female masses have their eyes glowing at the handsome and confident man on the screen. Meanwhile, many males are frowning. It was like they are looking at the common enemy of every man.

After the roster has been shown, the screen changes and it now showed the floating stadium, its impressive-looking stage, and the thousands of people who are cheering around it.

Then the list of the matches appears on the screen as the people scrutinize the pairing.

Hao Long is matched against a demi-human with red hair and thick fur on his body. He looks like a large red bear if one looks at him.

Linja Ya is going to face one of the top ten favorites, a young man with small flames floating around his body.

Suha Loo on the other hand is going to fight against a muscular young woman that wears scantly clothing making her look like a female barbarian.

As the matches are prepared, the contestants began to ready themselves to prove who would belong to the top ten strongest.

Although they did not have to go all out at this time as they already are qualified to enter the Heaven and Earth Opening race battles. Yet the prize that the saint rulers have presented is very tempting.. No one wanted to back out at this time as they wanted to have those prizes. No one except for one…
