Janus smiled gently and explained, "You're also aware that there are Three Palaces and Sixteen Inner Halls on Prohibition Island. Among us, the Sixteen Inner Halls are headed by Sky top Palace, Ground Evil Palace, and Human Spirit Palace.
"Once every decade, there will be a contest between the Sixteen Inner Halls. We would each pick one talented young disciple, who is not older than fifty years old, to participate in a martial arts battle."
"Those who perform well in the contest and their affiliated martial halls will receive generous rewards. Some of them may even be taken in by the Three Palaces Masters and become a top member on Prohibition Island."
Upon hearing this, Fade's eyes lit up and he seemed to be a little excited.
Ever since he entered Prohibition Island, he had heard a lot about the Three Palaces and the Sixteen Inner Halls. He had seen a fair share of the halls, but he didn't know much about the Three Palaces.NôvelDrama.Org content.
The fact that the Palace masters would be present personally, and that the winner would be taken into the Three Palaces showed the great importance of this competition.
Moreover, it was a must to enter the Three Palaces to complete Aldred's task, which was to pass the message to a person named Yarrow in the dungeon of the Three Palaces.
He revealed a slightly expectant and excited expression when he thought of this. He looked at Janus and asked, "Mr. Janus, did you ask me to return because you want me to represent Green Wood Hall in the Contest of Three Palaces?"
Janus nodded and looked at him with a smile. "Exactly."
"You are talented, but your cultivation time is too short. At first, I planned to let you train outside a little longer, but your achievement was a big surprise to me. Thus, there's no need to wait for another ten years. You are the right candidate for the Contest of Three
Palaces."
"Are you willing to participate in this competition?" Janus asked seriously.
Fade nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, I am!"
"Good!" Janus looked pleased and added, "There are still five days until the competition. You need to have a good rest and prepare yourself so that you are in the best state in order to strive for the championship."
"I will try my best." Fade clenched his fists in determination.
All of them raised their glasses.
In the next few days, Fade took a rest in Green Wood Hall.
Not only had Janus provided him with all kinds of precious herbs, he also asked Nestor to collect all the detailed information of his opponents so that Fade could prepare beforehand.
Five days passed quickly and it was time for the Contest of Three Palaces.
The usually calm Prohibition Island became
lively that day.
Nearly all the members of the Sixteen Inner Halls gathered in the central square. There were nearly a thousand people bustling around and the place was in a frenzy.
In the center of the central square, there was a ring made of a special stone.
Surrounding the ring were rows and rows of seats. In front of the ring sat three huge and gorgeous chairs, which must be the seats for the Three Palace Masters.
Janus personally guided Fade to the designated seat for Green Wood Hall.
For a moment, everyone turned to look at them.
After all, it had caused a wave of discussion when the people heard that Green Wood Hall had recruited a secular martial artist to participate in the competition.
All this while, most participants who were selected were elites trained internally in the martial halls. None of them had ever recruited disciples from the secular world to participate in this competition before. It was to everyone's surprise that Green Wood Hall had made an unusual move.
What's more, news of Fade's excellent achievements in the outside world had spread to the island, which made people more curious and enthusiastic about him.
Therefore, everyone gazed at him with curiosity.
Among them were Bolton, Mina, Saimus, and so forth. Before this, they had entered Prohibition Island with Fade to take the assessment, and they eventually stayed on the island.
Back then, they entered the island in the same batch, yet now, they were still nobodies in their respective halls, doing odds and ends.
As for Fade, he had always been
valued by Green Wood Hall. He was given special permission to be able to enter and leave the island as he pleased. Now that he returned, he was even stronger. He became the representative of Green Wood Hall in this competition. The distance between them was even bigger.
They were not at the same level anymore.
For a moment, they couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, they were glad that they didn't offend Fade badly. Otherwise, they would have ended up like Jaston from the Yuwen family.
Fade also caught them looking at him, but they had never been close, so there was nothing much to say.
Suddenly, he felt a cold and murderous gaze at him, which made him shiver uncontrollably. He frowned slightly and turned to meet the cold gaze.
It was a short man in a loose hoodie who was staring at him.
"That is..." Fade's face fell.
Standing beside him, Nestor immediately introduced the man to him in a low voice, "That's your competitor from Poison Cloud Hall, Madden."
"Poison Cloud Hall!"
Upon hearing these three words, Fade immediately understood why the other party was so hostile against him.
When he first entered Prohibition
Island, it was Lucio, the deacon, who
led his group. Later on, he found out that Lucie favored Jaston and targeted him and Alicia. There was a fall out between them, and as a result, Fade joined Nestor's team.
Soon after, Jaston ambushed him. Thus, Fade returned to the outer island and killed him in front of Lucio and Abelard as revenge.
Not only that, he proved his martial arts skills in front of the Chiefs and even killed Lucio in the end.
With all these previous events, it was impossible for Poison Cloud Hall to be on good terms with him.
Madden's desire to kill him seemed to be a matter of course.
As expected, Fade saw Abelard, the main deacon of Poison Cloud Hall, glaring at him viciously behind Madden.
However, he remained indifferent and was unfazed by the intimidation.
After all, he now had the strength of a Lord Level master. A deacon at the level of 5,000 streaks of martial essence was not a threat to him.
He merely glanced at Madden
before retracting his gaze.
Just then, a delicate shout approached Fade like a wind.
"Little Brother Fade, I haven't seen you for months. You've grown up a lot!"
A beautiful woman in a red robe strode towards Fade with a seductive gaze.
Her curvaceous body and fair skin immediately attracted many men's attention.
However, Fade was only slightly startled before he regained his composure. He looked at the charming woman in front of him without much emotion.
She was Red Serpent, the main deacon of the Beauties Hall.
No matter how beautiful she was, he could not bring up his interest in her whenever he recalled that she was nearly seventy years
old.
