Armipotent

The crowd went from excitement into a deep silence. The main screen still showed the aftermath of the battle. No, it was not even a battle in the first place. The beastmen overwhelmed the knight from The Faith and Order, and then the knight was finished in one move.

Amidst the silence, the main screen showed a replay of the previous fight. Then everyone got to see how the other knights were killed in a single strike as well. It looked like the knight underestimated the beastmen, but the beastmen went all out from the start.

The pained groan and scream were the only things that resounded in the dome. It was more like they did not know what to say after witnessing such a show.

The people from Faith and Order plopped back to their seats. Their legs went weak, and their hands trembled. Their eyes locked on the main screen, and most of them still could not believe what they had just witnessed.

They lost one of the main pillars in The Faith and Order. The knight who confronted Tang Shaoyang earlier looked up, looking at the opposite section. He found out that the main force from the Tang Empire did not join the tournament.

Moonsong was the only main force in the tournament. The Head of Faith Knight was so unlucky to meet Moonsong instead of the other two teams from The Tang Empire.

The second team was led by The Emperor's wife, and the third team was led by a demon. Ashley was quite famous since she directly participated in the battle against The World Government. But the demon was unknown, no one knew about the demon.

'But can we win against them?'

His confidence in his team wavered after watching one of his team killed. The other two teams from the Tang Empire might be weaker than Moonsong's team. But those two teams might be still stronger than them.

And how many Demi-God Ranks do they have?'

The knight was struck with a realization. Not just The Faith and Order, but the other factions realized that Moonsong was the only famed figure in the Tang Empire who joined the tournament.

There were still The Supreme General and two Vice Supreme Generals. The Emperor's little brother, Lu An. It was also rumored that the high-rank officer in Tarrior was also a Demi-God Rank.

The Tang Empire's section became the center of attention. People wanted to know how many Demi-God Rank The Tang Empire had. Some even came up with a wild guess by saying that all who came to watch were Demi-God Rank. The mystery remains unanswered as no one dared to use The Detection on the Tang Empire.

Tang Shaoyang lost interest in the battle after Moonsong wiped out the team. He was no longer worried about Ashley as well. If Moonsong could wipe a team from a big faction that easily, the other teams should not pose a big threat to Ashley. While Ashley might not be as strong as Moonsong, she should be stronger than the average Demi-God Rank in the tournament.

Another two hours quickly passed. Another clash between two Demi-God Ranks between two big factions broke out. This time it was totally different compared to when The Tang Empire was against The Faith and Order.

It was a fierce fight that ended up involving more than five factions at once. The fight was so intense that it lasted more than half an hour. Even though it was another team who fought, the other factions cheered during the fight.

The heavy atmosphere after The Tang Empire against The Faith and Order lightened up once more. While the others were excited about the battle, Tang Shaoyang had totally lost interest in the fight. He did not get that much sleep, so slept while sitting, maintaining his straight posture. He got one hour of sleep, better than nothing.

"Was the fight really boring for you?"

Zhang Mengyao could not help but ask when her husband opened his eyes. The fight was still entertaining to her. She was carried away in the atmosphere and enjoyed it so far. It surprised her that Tang Shaoyang could sleep in front of such an entertainment.

Tang Shaoyang nodded, "It's boring when you know who will win the tournament, no?"

"Do you really think Moonsong will win the whole tournament? Herman Bonivido from the United Sovereign might be able to defeat Sir Moonsong. The same with The King Whitney from The Whitney Kingdom. I do think they would be able to put up a fight against Sir Moonsong."

Cao Jingyi chimed in. Herman Bonivido had taken down two big teams so far, without losing a single member of their team. She could not see why Tang Shaoyang favored Moonsong.

"Nope, Moonsong will still win the whole tournament. And I find this boring because there are so many things that are more exciting than just watching the tournament."

Tang Shaoyang did not even give a glance at Herman Bonivido's team. He stood up, "I think I will go back and play with Xiulan instead."

He would leave soon for quite some time for his mission in the Void Gate. He rather spend his time with his daughter than watch the tournament when he already knew who the winner was.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to make something?" Elinova immediately asked.

She was not interested in the tournament or the fight in the first place. She was here because she was Tang Shaoyang's wife.

"That would be the best, but I don't mind eating in the cafeteria if you still want to watch the tournament."

Elin shook her head. Li Shuang made an excuse that she had work to finish. She was similar to Elin and did not like the violence. She naturally did not like watching the tournament as a form of entertainment and making an excuse to leave the venue.

No one had left the dome since the tournament started. Tang Shaoyang was the first one to stand and leave his section, followed by Elin and Li Shuang.

It surprised everyone that someone was leaving already. No one guessed that it was Tang Shaoyang who left the dome first. Everyone's attention was on Tang Shaoyang until he left the dome, wondering why The Emperor suddenly left.

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang changed into his casual clothes and went to his daughter. Elin went to her kitchen, and Li Shuang went to her office.

He was not idle as he sent Ira a message, asking whether the dungeon in the God Realm would be dangerous for Demi-God Rank. He planned to bring his people to clear the dungeon in the God Realm.

Entering the dungeon in the God Realm was more interesting than the tournament. And if the tournament truly took seven days, he might as well take one last mission before his special mission, guarding the Void Gate.

At this moment, he truly wanted to spend his time with his daughter. He brought her daughter out. The street was quite empty since people gathered in the plaza in front of the smart base to watch the tournament.

Five massive screens displayed the three teams from The Tang Empire, a map, and the scoreboard. Moonsong's team led the scoreboard with a huge margin. They bagged more than five hundred points, meaning he had taken down more than twenty teams.

People said that time passed quickly when you did something you enjoyed the most. It was true, time went by so quickly when he spent his time with his daughter. Watching how Li Jiaying and Li Yue acted like a big sister to Xiulan was also more enjoyable than the tournament for him.

It was so adorable how Li Jiaying and Li Yue cared very much for Tang Xiulan even though they were not blood-related. Li Jiaying was Li Shuang's daughter with her ex-husband, and Li Yue was Li Na's daughter.

Six and twelve hours passed since the tournament, and Tang Shaoyang never returned once to the dome to check on his teams. He could see them from home, and Moonsong had sealed the first place as he predicted.

Moonsong was on the top with 2662 points. They eliminated 121 teams, including several teams from the big faction. The second place was Zaneos' team with 1534 points, and the third place was Herman Bonivido with 1408 points.

The placement point would not change the outcome. The gap between the third place to the fourth place was even bigger. Meaning the top three of the tournament had been decided. Two teams from the Tang Empire and one team from The United Sovereign.

Moonsong had won the tournament, but Zaneos and Herman Bonivido still had to fight for second place. Herman Bonivido's team just needed to survive higher than Zaneos, then they might have a chance to get the second place.

Tang Shaoyang returned on the last day of the tournament, but this time he returned with his adorable little daughter.

Wearing his casual black clothes and long black pants, he carried Tang Xiulan to the Tang Empire's seat on the second floor. Once more he became the center of attention because of his baby girl. He would be watching for the remaining tournament, the decider for the second place.
