Emperor's Reckoning

The sound of a gong suddenly reverberated the Colosseum before the crowd's noise dimmed down. With one second delay, the gong was hit once more before it finally ended on the third hit.

As the sound slowly vanished, the Colosseum was at a total silent. The crowd's attention immediately focused on the circular arena below that was roughly a hundred steps in diameter.

"Hahaha!"

The sound of laughter filled the place from able before a figure slowly descended down from the clouds.

Actively rubbing his own long white beard, the old man with the black robe perfectly landed on the center of the arena with one of his hands on his back. He had a lean figure that was healthy and vigor that every adult had. Nobody knew his real age.

"Yes yes, now this is what the old me like, haha!" said the old man.

"It's him, one of the overseers of the Crown, Dan Hufei!" said one of the experts in the crowd.

"Many rumors have been going on that he was facing a bottleneck, has he broken through?"

"Scratch that! I heard that his granddaughter is actually participating in this event!"

The crowd had their own discussion but nevertheless the cheering started once more when the big shot himself came down to the arena.

"Old Dan, you still like drowning in praises I see."

The voice once again came from above before the screech of a giant bird followed. The crowd immediately looked up as the shadow of the said bird, filled the Colosseum. It was an eagle with a pair of wings that could cover a small forest.

A demonic beast that was tamed by the middle-aged bald man who rode it. He had a lean figure with a black goatee. Wearing a purple robe the man jumped down before standing beside Dan Hufei.

"Hahaha, much like you love your demonic beast, Trigard Van, the infamous beastmaster," teased the old man.

"Van the beastmaster!" exclaimed one of the elders of a clan.

"Oh my god is him! Then that means, that magnificent eagle is, Aethon!"

The legendary demonic beast Aethon, famed for its brutality and huge size. It could rip a cultivator expert to shreds with its talons alone. They said they lived in a higher place like a mountain and thick mana flow. Only after these two conditions met would they could be sighted. Not to mention taming one.

"Well, I can't argue with that," said Van with a smile before clapping his hands and made the eagle went away from the place, revealing the sun once more.

"Hmm, I hear that the competition this time suddenly got fiercer," muttered Van.

"Of course it is! Hahaha! My granddaughter joined this time, that's why I personally choose this region to oversee," laughed Dan.

"And I am here to make things fair."

A woman's voice was clearly heard before the clouds in the sky suddenly spiraled down like a tornado to a spot between them. Dan Hufei's hair was fluttering against his face while Van's revealed a smile. A snap of a finger was suddenly heard before the tornado instantly scattered in every direction.

The men in the crowd were immediately slack-jawed by what they had seen. Never in their entire life maybe, they had seen such 'creature'.

"Wow, she is beautiful," said a woman in the crowd before being followed with a slow nod by her fellow peers.

She had a fair complexion with a sculpted figure. Her arched eyebrows looked down on the sweeping eyelashes. A pair of delicate ears formed a beauty with her button nose. The eyes of the crowd were fascinated by the flowing coral black hair of her that didn't even manage to touch her shoulder. Her bow-shaped lips turned a smile as her jet-black eyes looked at the stupefied crowd.

She had a golden bracelet in each of her wrists with a high tight black bra to cover her plump bosom. There was a small circular hole on top of it that revealed her cleavage. With her small waist and belly button revealed to Mabia, she took a few steps forward, revealing her beautiful barefooted feet. Her long red loose skirt fluttered against the wind before she opened her arms and said,

"Welcome fellow cultivators! Today we three will be overseeing the contest, the competition, that without a doubt produce a glimpse of what the future might be!"

Her sentence instantly riled up the crowd more than the other two did, though both of them didn't seem to be surprised by it. Crossing one arm and putting another on her chin she teasingly said, "I guess an introduction is in order."

"My name is Dan Hufei, as many of you may know me as others may don't, I'm currently one of the overseers in for this competition," said Dan Hufei.

"Likewise, my name is Trigard Van, people call me Van the beastmaster and the same as Old Dan, I'm currently one of the overseers for this competition," said Van with a bow.

"That leaves mine then," said the beautiful woman in dancing attire.

After making a double fake cough she continued, "My name is Sophia Treas Alrude, I am currently one of the overseers for this competition."

"Sophia Treas Alrude?" one of the crowd muttered.

"Wait a minute! A Treas family member?!" exclaimed one of them.

Treas family was an elusive family that was widely known for its wealth and auctions. They held most of the biggest auctions in multiple worlds. It was said that the fortune they possessed could make a mountain looking up.

Nobody would dare to offend the trio, especially the beautiful woman with dancing attire.. Who knows what forces she could order on the go given her name as a Treas.
