When Fade asked this question, the atmosphere immediately fell into silence and everyone looked over.
But Fade remained emotionless and quietly looked at Ashwin with firm eyes.
Ashwin stared at Fade for a few seconds, and then said with a serious face, "The City Contest was established to discover young talents of our South Van City and to promote the development of martial arts, not to compete for personal interests."
After saying these words, Ashwin paused for a while, then added, "But of course, normal battles and competitions are accepted. However, if you kill someone on purpose, it will mean that you're violating the original intention of the City Contest."
"Moreover, we have installed dozens of water mirrors in the Frost Valley, they will record everything that's happening in the valley and send them to us immediately. Everyone outside can see the situation inside clearly."
"So, do you all understand?"
Ashwin looked at the ten contestants.
Everyone was smart enough to understand his instructions. Their eyes flickered as though they thought of something, they nodded and said, "Yes!" Fade also nodded. He seemed to have a rough idea about the competition rules after hearing Ashwin's words.
Theoretically speaking, they're not allowed to kill anyone during the competition. But it was a battle after all and fights were unavoidable. During the fight, one would definitely gain victory and the other will be defeated, injuries would occur as well. It was also possible that they would die if the injuries were too severe.
Therefore, there was a grey area among the rules.
There were no exact standards to determine whether the fight between the two sides was normal or ruthless.
Mr. Goo obviously knew about this, so he set up water mirrors to record the scene from inside the Frost Valley.
Firstly, it could be used to record the situation in the valley. Secondly, it could be used to supervise the contestants' movements in the valley. Even though they could be used for supervision, the grey area of rules still existed.
In a nutshell, as long as their actions were in an acceptable range, casualties during the final contest will also be permitted.
After clarifying this point, Fade's eyes became a little colder as he looked at the crowd from the Loh family and the Myriad Treasures Hall. The crowd also noticed Fade's gaze. Their face darkened and also cast a cold look at Fade as well.
Ashwin scanned the crowd and said, "Last but not least, I have another news to tell all of you."
"The reward for the champion is the Eternal Ice Core and it's hidden in the Frost Valley as well. All of you will have to prove your abilities and the winner gets it."
As soon he finished his words, the atmosphere became lively.
Although all the contestants knew about the Eternal Ice Core beforehand, they still couldn't help but breathe rapidly with excitement after hearing it from Ashwin. They were looking forward to it.
Seeing this, Ashwin smiled and stretched out his right hand. He pointed to the valley filled with snow in front of him and shouted, "The City Contest for the finals starts, now!"
In an instant, a few streams of light could be seen jumping off from the top of the mountain and quickly rushing towards the Frost Valley. Someone wanted to be one step ahead to seize the advantage.
Fade on the other hand, was not in a hurry at all. He noticed the people around him leaving one by one. Finally, he let out some positive energy, looking unhurriedly and headed towards the Frost Valley.
When the ten contestants had all entered the Frost Valley, Ashwin waved his big hand. Specks of light lit up around the valley, shooting out streaks of light and connecting with each other. In the end, it turned into a huge formation and shrouded the entire Frost Valley.
Then, Ashwin gave an order and the water mirrors, which had been prepared long ago, lit up all over the mountain top and the South Van City.
These water mirrors were connected with those in the valley through their auras. They could receive recordings from the water mirrors in the valley and then be presented in front of everyone.
These water mirrors were similar to the realtime TV live broadcast on earth.
Following the start of the contest, the atmosphere of the entire South Van City began to heat up.
Countless people raised their heads to stare at the water mirror and watch it carefully.
Some people were experienced and they booked seats in teahouses and restaurants, ordered some tea and dishes, and began to eat while watching.
Of course, there were also people from the casino who shouted everywhere, gathering people to bet on the ranking of the ten contestants. Compared to the liveliness of the South Van City, the Frost Valley was quiet and cold instead.
After entering Frost Valley, Fade was in no hurry to find tokens. Instead, he looked around and observed his surroundings.
The valley covered an area of about thousands of square meters, almost all covered with snow. Moreover, there were dense trees and strange stones around, which were suitable places for an ambush.
Stepping forward, Fade saw a group of people gathering in front of him. They were the contestants.
At that moment, the nine of them all had their own plans in mind. They were looking at each other, like they were supporting and restricting each other at the same time.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Fade arriving, Arian smiled and took the initiative to say, "Brother Chen, you're here. Now all ten of us are here. I think we'd better discuss how to find the tokens to avoid any unnecessary conflicts."
Hearing Arian's words, many of their expressions changed.
Uzair snorted and said, "What do you have in mind, Arian?"
Arian chuckled and said, "There are a hundred tokens out there. I think it's better if we all find them first, then we can have a battle later on to determine who will take the tokens. What do you all think about this plan?"
Uzair said, "Arian, what you mean is we work in teams for now then have a battle later on?"
"Teams? You can just team up with a friend that you trust." Arian smiled.
At that time. Subhan, a woman with an expression as cold as ice, walked towards Arian. Obviously, the Loh family was ready to form a team. Seeing this, Uzair glanced to the side and Kayne immediately stood up. Then, Uzair looked at Fade, but Fade stood still and didn't move at all.
On the other side, Tyreece, the No.1 student of the Martial Arts School in the South Van Academy, gave a hearty laugh, and then said, "Since you've all teamed up, we'll do the same then."
"Saul, Grant, why don't you both come with me!" Tyreece said to the other two contestants of the South Van Academy.
Grant, who ranked third, walked to Tyreece with a smile.
However, Saul, who was ranked second, had a serious face and did not move.
Seeing this, Tyreece was a little unhappy and said, "Saul, you are from our South Van Academy too. Come here."
Saul still did not move and said coldly, "I participated in this contest to improve myself and get the treasure, not to fight with one another."
"Saul, don't you forget that you are also a student of the South Yan Academy.. Tyreece was a little angry, and his words sounded threatening.
Saul directly interrupted him and asked, "You don't have to threaten me. Let me ask you a question, how do you plan to divide the reward if I join your team? How much do each of us get?"
"This..." Tyreece's face stiffened and he couldn't answer for a moment.
After all, according to his plan, since he was ranked top one in the Martial Arts School of the South Yan Academy, he would definitely take the bigger share. When that time comes, the remaining would be shared between Saul and Grant. Content belongs to

But from the looks of it, Saul was obviously unwilling to be under Tyreece's control.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Grant stepped forward with a smile and tried to smooth things over,

Without waiting for him to finish, Saul coldly said, "It's none of my business if you want to work like a servant to others, but I don't want to."
After saying this, Saul directly turned around and walked towards the depths of the valley, "I will do it alone."
Seeing this, Tyreece's face darkened.
Masie, the daughter of the mayor, glanced at Fade and said with a chuckle, "In that case, I shall do it alone as well."
After finishing her words, Masie also stepped into the valley.
Cayson, who was from the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was the last one remaining. He held a scarlet great blade in his hand and had a serious expression on his face. His gaze lande firmly upon Fade as he said, "I participated in this contest with no
intention of fighting over the treasure, but only for revenge."

Hearing this, several people's expressions changed.
Contestants from the Loh family and the South Van Academy revealed a smile, as if they were taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
"Cayson, since you have no intention of fighting for the treasure, we shall not disturb you."
After that, the four people formed a group of two and each retreated far from each other.
They all knew that Cayson's target for revenge was none other than Fade.
Uzair's expression became somewhat hesitant at that moment.
However, after a moment, Uzair's face darkened and he made a decision, he said to Cayson, "You can handle your personal grudges yourself, our
Gu family will not take part in that."
After that, Uzair and Kayne retreated far away.
Therefore, Fade and Cayson were the only ones left on the scene.
Countless citizens of South Van City were also watching this scene through the water mirrors, it caused a wave of discussion.
"We did expect them to form an alliance. But what's going on with the Gu family? Isn't Fade a representative of the Gu family as well?"
"Could it be that the Gu family is having an internal strife on their own?"
"Well, the situation now looks good. Uzair teamed up with Kayne, but if Fade had joined in as well, it will be out of balance. Now it looks just right and
it seems like it will be a good show."
The Gu family members were atop the mountain.
Deniz looked in the direction of Yarrow and Talmon. He deliberately said sarcastically, "Some people are just so self-righteous that they insist on acting alone. Well, it's too late to regret now, haha!"
Yarrow glared at Deniz and did not retort. Instead, he stared at the water mirror closely.
At that moment, in the valley, Fade looked at Cayson who was staring at him with hatred, he said with a smile, "Are you going to fight me?"
"Have you forgotten Mr. Goo's rules? Besides, there are many water mirrors here, no?"
Fade pointed to the surrounding water mirrors.
Cayson shook his head and said, "Of course I won't violate Mr. Goo's rules. I'm here to look for the tokens. It's just a coincidence that I happened to
be in the same route as you."
Hearing that, Fade squinted his eyes and understood what Cayson was trying to say.
