Chapter 1723  Earth Tournament (3)

Jaxon was shocked when he heard everything about the Tang Empire. From how The Tang Empire dominated the first Earth Tournament until the war against the World Government that comprised several big factions.

The most shocking thing to hear was the fact that The Tang Empire had taken over the whole of Australia. The Hamilton Factions conquered their current territories a month ago, taking the territories back from the zombies. It took them quite some time, but they managed to do it.

If not for the Earth Tournament's announcement, they planned to cross to Australia and expand their territory. His Faction Leader was preparing for the tournament and focused on the dungeon for training. If not for the Earth Tournament, they would have crossed over and attacked Australia.

"Do you think why The System gives them such a treatment?" Maras shook his head after seeing Jaxon's reaction.

"You might not believe me, but you will soon find out about them anyway. There's no reason for me to lie."

Jaxon listened to Maras but could not find fault. That was right, he would find out soon whether Maras was lying to him or not. There was no benefit for Maras to lie to him.

"Based on the seats, the System divided the faction into four categories. Small factions like us only get ten seats. The faction above us, which was on the third floor, got forty seats."

Maras pointed at the third floor, "The big faction which was on the second floor gets one hundred seats each. There's only one faction with two hundred seats, which is The Tang Empire. I would say the System put The Tang Empire above everyone else, a super faction maybe."

"Look there! The medium faction is arriving!"

Maras pointed at the entrance with his head to the entrance. Jaxon and his faction members followed. The first medium faction to arrive. Compared to those who wore formal suits, the medium faction wore a white uniform with an emblem on their left chest.

"Can't you see the difference between us and them?"

Jaxon could not help but compare the group of forty with his group. He could feel the stark difference by just their aura. The group of forty approached the edge and observed the upper floor. They did the same just like what he did. He expected to hear a complaint, but they did not say anything and went to the third.

There was this weird feeling when he looked at the medium faction. A feeling which told him that these people were stronger than him. It was something he felt when he saw his Guild Leader. In fact, they were stronger than his Guild Leader.

"You finally broaden your horizon, Jaxon. But that's still nothing compared to the big faction. You will find out soon."

More medium factions arrived, and Jaxon felt it. The feeling that these people were powerful. The weird feeling got stronger and stronger. Then he got more anxious, realizing that there might be a lot of people stronger than the team that was led by his Guild Leader in this Earth Tournament.

"You are already amazed by just looking at the medium faction, but you haven't seen the big faction yet. Look, they arrived! It's Olympus, and its base is in Europe. They are the reason we could not expand our territory. But we are grateful that they don't target our faction, that's good enough for us already."

Olympus managed to raise its strength and was acknowledged by the System as one of twelve big factions. They arrived with their white uniform and the Parthenon emblem on their back.

Jaxon was taken aback when he saw the female in red-brown hair that led Olympus. Not because of her beauty, but because of the aura she exuded. His instinct told him that the woman was the strongest individual he had seen so far.

"She is Natasa, The Vice Leader from Olympus. From what I heard, she has reached Legend Rank for quite a while, almost Demi-God Rank."

Jaxon took a deep breath when he heard the woman's rank. He blinked his eyes and looked at his new friend, "Legend Rank? Is it the rank after Myth Rank?"

Maras stopped for a moment, and he looked at his new friend. Based on that sentence, he guessed the highest rank in the Hamilton Faction. He laughed when he realized that a faction with the Myth Rank as the highest rank complained about The Tang Empire and got two hundred seats.

"You never fail to surprise me, my friend. You don't even know the basic ranks, and yet you are so brave to openly complain about The Tang Empire."

"You are lucky to meet me instead of the others. I will tell you that the above Myth Rank is Primordial Rank, then Legend Rank, then Demi-God Rank, and the highest rank is God Rank. Natasa is Legend Rank, and I heard Olympus' leader is Demi-God Rank and the man next to Natasha is a Demi-God Rank. His name is Alkis."

"Don't put your hope too high for your team to win this tournament. Our chance to enter the top ten is zero, let alone winning the whole tournament. Unless we are lucky enough that the big factions eliminate each other since this is a battle royal."

Jaxon was in awe as he stared at Olympus as they walked to the second floor. But he was confused because he felt like the woman was stronger than the man who was supposed to be one higher rank than the woman.

One by one the big factions arrived at the dome and revealed the new eleven big factions. After Olympus, The Africa Nation arrived fifteen minutes before the tournament started. Then The Whitney Kingdom followed by The Kingdom of Sand.

"They are The Whitney Kingdom which was formerly known as The Revolution Kingdom. They are The Kingdom of Sand, formerly known as The Uprising Guild when they were in a war with The Tang Empire."

 Maras faithfully explained the new arrival to his new friend. It was ten minutes before the tournament started. Only the big faction that had not arrived in the dome. Only seven big factions and the Tang Empire were not present.

Then the fifth big faction arrived. The fifth big faction wore white priest clothes and were followed by knights in white armor. They wanted to appear to be holy, but one could tell that the atmosphere changed as soon as they arrived. It was not admiration or respect, but repulsive. No one seemed to like this new big faction.

Maras' face crunched unpleasantly, "That one is Faith and Order. A new faction that formed after the fall of The World Government."

Maras came closer and whispered, "They are quite nasty, and you better never get in touch with them ever, or you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Who dares to speak ill of us!"

The Faith and Order paused their advance as the murmur got stronger in the dome. They heard what these people said about them, so they stopped and scanned the audience. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"F*ck me!" Maras muttered in a low voice when the knight decided to pick on him. The knight in white armor locked his gaze on him. Between all the people, they picked him.

"You! If you have something to say about us, speak to us directly. Don't speak on our backs like a coward! With dishonorable conduct! Who's your name and state your faction!" The knight did not want to let it be.

The Faith and Order wanted to establish their dominance because they were a new faction among the eleven big factions. They picked the small fish to make it happen.

Maras was not stupid to tell his name and faction. He kept his mouth shut and hoped for Faith and Order to leave him alone if he did not respond.

Then he noticed from the corner of his eye that the knight stepped out from the group, walking toward him. His heart was beating furiously, nervous.

"Please don't block the way! Move!"

A young voice echoed, and Maras saw the knight stop. For once he dared to look up again and looked toward where the voice came from. It was from a group that just arrived, right behind the Faith and Order.

The newly arrived group wore several different uniforms but was dominated by the people with dark-red uniforms. There was one person, the only one with a black outfit with a golden line and a dark red cape with the same golden line at the edge.

The Tang Empire had arrived, and the whole dome went silent.
