Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 596 - 88: The Ultimate Test Arrives

Upon entering Sky Wing City, one is immediately greeted by a fragrant aroma, with various precious trees and fragrant flowers planted all around, and neatly laid out streets catching the eye. Yun Sheng noticed that the streets underfoot were actually paved with gold.

Looking at the houses on both sides, they were all constructed from Han Baiyu.

Even Yun Sheng, who was wealthy enough to refine Magic Artifacts with Purple Gold, couldn’t help but be astounded at the sight.

"How much does it cost to buy a house in Sky Wing City?" Donghuang Lingling, as a princess of the Donghuang Dynasty, had never seen such a luxurious city before.

"It is said that even the most ordinary house here is worth tens of millions of gold coins. The City Lord of Sky Wing City is the richest person on the continent. Even the largest Wuji Commerce is nothing in front of him," Sky Wing City has land as precious as gold, and those who can afford property here are either the wealthiest families or traders on the continent, or the strongest in power.

Most of the students from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp were visiting Sky Wing City for the first time and felt that everything around them was very new.

While they were still lingering around the scenery, Elder Helian found an inn and went inside first.

Seeing Elder Yu and others, Elder Helian’s expression was not very pleasant.

The provocations from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp had become increasingly apparent throughout the journey.

Especially since he had carelessly said when leaving the Mainland Magic Elite Camp that this time he would definitely trample the people from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp underfoot.

He traveled by Skyship, and the others simply flew with Fighting Spirit Wings. He stayed in this inn, and they also chose this inn.

"There are so many inns in Sky Wing City, do you have to follow us all the way?" Elder Helian said unhappily.

"You are wrong about that. Unlike your Mainland Magic Elite Camp, flush with cash to cover room and board for over a dozen students, our students from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp have always been self-sufficient. I only need to lead the way," Elder Yu said arrogantly.

The fact that Elder Yu did not take the Skyship earlier and let his students fly with Fighting Energy Wings had frustrated Elder Helian for many days, and it took him considerable effort to come up with a way to turn the situation around.

Elder Yu then turned to look at the Martial Artists from his Elite Camp, shouting loudly, "Listen up, all of you. This time, if you don’t earn the title of Fighting King and bring it back for me, you will be in trouble! Don’t be like some pampered individuals who are as precious and fragile as sick cats, with all meals and accommodation provided, a bunch of young masters and misses!"

Fighting King! Elder Helian’s ears perked up.

The group of Martial Artists also knew that Elder Yu was competing with Elder Helian, and they cooperated energetically with his statement before dispersing.

When all the students had left, Elder Helian pointed at Elder Yu and scolded.

"Yu Pojun, what do you mean by that! Are you saying that the Mages from our Magic Elite Camp are useless!" Elder Helian was displeased.

"Heh, that’s exactly what I mean. What, can’t accept it? If you can’t accept it, let your coddled little darlings go to the arena and see who can obtain the title of Fighting King!" Elder Yu, seeing that he had angered Elder Helian, was not only unapologetic but also looked very smug.

He had been paying attention to the team Elder Helian brought this time, tsk tsk, all sorts of people were included.

Even daring to send Magic Master Level students to the Sky Wings Arena, really courting death.

In contrast, everyone in his team this time were elite students!

"You! Let’s compete then. What if I win?" Elder Helian’s fiery temper ignited instantly.

If the Third Elder and the others were here, they would definitely hold him back.

Unfortunately, the other elders were not present.

"Lose? Ha-ha, keep dreaming, with that motley crew of yours! If you win, then fine, you guys from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp will have the final say on the next mission related to the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts!" Elder Yu completely disbelieved that Elder Helian’s team could ever win the title of Fighting King.

At the mention of the mission concerning the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, Elder Helian’s thick eyebrows fiercely twitched.

After all, the Mainland Elite Camp is a collective entity. The mission concerning the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts had been agreed upon years ago between the councils of elders from both sides to collaborate.

However, it was never clarified who exactly would have the final say.

If they could manage to clinch the title of Fighting King in this trial and also seize the initiative for the next collaboration, the elders in the Elder Council would undoubtedly view him with new respect.

The Third Elder thought to himself, by then, the Fourth Elder and the others wouldn’t be mocking him daily for having ’muscles but no brains’.

"Alright, it’s settled then. We compete, and whichever team has a member who either snatches the title of Fighting King or makes a strong breakthrough will be considered the winner," Elder Helian instantly agreed.

Both of them were a hundred years old combined, yet there they were, red in the neck like fighting roosters, bloodshot in the eyes.

"This guest-sir, the double rooms you asked for total seven, and each room costs 100 gold coins per night," the waiter said in a cold sweat, uncertain of where these two had come from.

"Just like him, I’ll only take one luxury single room," Elder Helian decided, realising he could no longer pamper the mages under his command.

It seemed Elder Yu had long anticipated that Elder Helian would fall for his incitement, and leisurely opted for a luxury single room before heading upstairs to rest.

Elder Helian also turned and walked out, mulling it over as he left.

The inns of Sky Wing City were indeed not cheap; even the most ordinary double room cost several hundred gold coins per night.

For this trial of the Magic Elite Camp, calculating based on seven rooms plus daily meals and accommodation, it would cost at least one hundred thousand gold coins.

This expense was not a significant burden for the Magic Elite Camp since they could earn extra by manufacturing Magic Potions.

However, it was different for the Martial Artist Elite Camp; they had no income from Magic Potions and their financial situation was much tighter than that of the Magic Elite Camp.

This was always a point of mockery by the Magic Elite Camp towards the Martial Artist Elite Camp, yet today, it became a joke itself.

He must make Elder Yu change his views about the Magic Elite Camp.

Elder Helian soon came out, and the mages of the Elite Camp were still waiting outside.

"Dear trainees, we have arrived at Sky Wing City, hand over your storage devices for now."

Although puzzled, everyone still handed over their storage rings, necklaces, bracelets, belts, and the like.

Yun Sheng reluctantly handed over his Beast Language Ring as well.

After checking and confirming that everyone had handed over their storage devices, Elder Helian continued to speak.

"We will stay in Sky Wing City for a year. During this year, all your food, lodging, and expenses will be your own responsibility. Your storage devices will be kept by me for the time being. The only two ways to retrieve your storage rings are to either continuously break through your cultivation or win the title of Fighting King in the Arena."

Upon hearing Elder Helian’s words, the trainees were all stunned.
