The God of Cataka

54

The morning star rises quietly…

The movement of fate is ready to be turned.

When the starlight disappears…

This is where the day is born.

The young people of the world, will embark on a journey unknown to the world that has been in darkness for too long.

They will embrace the light of life again.

This is the prophecy of the Magi!

This was the beginning to end the endless war.

When hope is shrouded in darkness, the young stars will shine!

They are fearless…

They would challenge the world with unimaginable power.

Countless hunts…

Countless adventures…

Countless battles…

This will all be over in the end!

This is a time of destruction…

This is a time of chaos…

This is the age of the shining star…

Just look!

Will the hope for man never come out?

"The first round is internal competition" Bao Yu told. "Each participant will compete with other participants with the same skills. The swordsman will fight the swordsman. Magicians will fight the sorcerer."

The disciples of Bao Yu listened seriously.

Shen Zhu has not returned.

"Among the hundreds of competitors in each stream, usually only the top ten will be selected" Bao Yu continued. "Seventy participants from the seven streams will enter the final. Each group of knights would be taken from these seven streams. Thus, forever these seventy winners were qualified to join the Demon Hunt Alliance."

"Why are we fighting in the final?" tan Nuo asked with a frown.

"The goal of the final round is to compare forces" explained Bao Yu. "Those who are at the top of the rankings can choose one person from another stream to be a teammate. Moreover, naturally the Alliance had prepared a reward. Especially the top three, they will get the most desired treasure in the world."

"Wow!" His students shouted at the same time.

"This is your ticket!" Bao Yu handed out a special plate to register. "Now go to the registration hall!"

Tiao glanced towards the gate uneasily.

Crowds lined up along the entrance, from the gate to the grounds. But there was no sign Shen Zhu had returned.

"May it work!" Bao Yu cheered. "I will wait for your best performance at the Knight Exam Arena!"

"Hmh!" His disciples bowed in unison with the respect of the army.

Along with that…

A pair of legs with armor-shoes moved through the collapsed and hollow walls, through the gaping cracks, forming a kind of background of the skeletons of buildings and empty spaces, then it arrived at the gate of the Knight Alliance Headquarters.

The gazes of the women were now fixated on a porcelain white taper face with dark fox eyes framed by resolute eyebrows that were incompatible with his sharp nose that looked haughtily up above a pair of thin red lips. The shape of his chin is very round in harmony with his taper face.

Its fox eyes give the appearance of wilderness wanderer eyes commonly used to look far into the dark terrain. His tall jaw confirmed a sturdy face that was unyielding. All of them describe his strength as a spiritual master that is worth considering on the field of action.

Perfect!

Young, handsome, classy.

Wait up!

Why is a handsome classy young man walking?

Silently, the women paved the way to let the young man through.

Feeling himself the center of attention, the exorbitant handsome young man suddenly stopped his steps.

Just for the action-shock!

But then it suffocated as Shen Zhu flashed by his side and passed through it.

Impossible! inner surprised. This is impossible! How could there be anyone more handsome than me in this world? he thought he couldn't take it. Why is he more handsome than me?

Shen Zhu glanced at the young man through the corner of his eye. Then walk ahead of him. Tracing the large road with plants as fences, rushed to the grounds of the Knight Alliance Headquarters, where the teacher and his elder brothers were waiting.

A lot of people are running and milling around here and there. In pairs, alone or in groups.

Everyone wore a multi-colored armor robe in various motifs. Some wore belts and headbands of precious metals with gemstones. Some wore wing-shaped headdresses behind their ears and armour bracelets wrapped around half their arms.

Each color represents a clan, headdress, hand ornament and belt represents a caste.

All eyes now turned to Shen Zhu.

The classy handsome young man blinked and cleared his throat. Hurriedly fixed his astonished facial expression, putting back the elegant expression of a noble. It then tailed behind Shen Zhu in an elegant style that was clearly contrived.

Shortly after, a group of teenagers burst past the young man.

Their cloaks and veils are black, representing the earth and wind.

Headbands, belts and handpieces of noble rhodium-metal black color, representing the wisdom—kasta of second-rate nobility. Equivalent to a theorist.

"Sect Magus!" whispered some people without being able to cover their admiration.

One of the young men from the Magi Sect was mesmerizing with a hint of mystery.

The classy handsome youth was suffocating again. "Why are you so handsome?"

The young Magi glanced at him with a flat face. "Surge!" his hissing is cold. "You're blocking the way."

"You—" the classy handsome young man glared at him as he pointed his index finger at the face of the Magi youth.

But the young Magi ignored him.

The group was now charging past Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu gasped at the group. His gaze was fixed on his older sister who was in the front row flanked by his teacher and the mysterious handsome young man earlier, putting on a face as if she did not know him.

Shen Zhu opened his mouth as he extended one of his hands towards his brother, but the grip of someone's hand on his hanfal arm jolted Shen Zhu. "Sister!" pekik surprised.

Jialin knew already stood beside him. "I—" he quickly pulled his hand from Shen Zhu's hanfu arm and stuttered. "So I saw you at the gun shop" he said stammering. "I tried to call you, but.." she hung up her sentence when she realized Shen Zhu wasn't paying attention.

Shen Zhu's attention returned towards the Magi Sect's entourage and sighed. The party had already moved further and further apart the crowd while the other entourage had already blocked the road in front of Shen Zhu.

Jialin was instantly silent.

"Through here!" Shen Zhu suddenly snatched Jialin's waist and led her through the crowd.

Jialin stuttered while trying to protest but his body was dragged by the crowd to and fro. He would not want to follow Shen Zhu.

Bao Yuwen was waiting for them in the courtyard while the others had already entered the building.

As soon as the two teenagers appeared, Bao Yuwen spontaneously grazed into Shen Zhu's hand on Jialin's waist with squinted eyes.

Jialin's face immediately blushed and he was misbehaved, while Shen Zhu was not immediately aware of the situation.
