On the first day of the final competition, Leng Yue and Nila were granted the title of Flame Warrior, ranking as third-class nobility.
Tomorrow, three more will be chosen to form a squad with Lu Hong and the others, representing Cangdu to attend the Seven Kingdoms Martial Meet.
Early the next morning, Lu Hong put on his mask and got ready to go watch the fight at the arena. As he stepped out of the courtyard, a royal guard appeared in front of him, "Lord Lu Hong, a small troop from the Disaster Church has been spotted seventy miles outside Cangdu City. His Majesty has ordered you to work with me to annihilate them."
Lu Hong accepted the document handed to him, and the seal upon it was not forged—it was indeed a command from the King of Cang.
It looked like he wouldn't be able to watch today's duel. Lu Hong sighed softly, "Let's go."
The royal guard seemed to sense his thoughts, "Lord Lu Hong, if we move quickly, you may still make it to the third match."
