The Return of the God Level Assassin

THE Rookie Carnival tournament would be held at the Floating Coliseum. Just like its name, it’s a huge coliseum reminisce of the architecture of Rome’s Colosseum. The only difference was this one was floating in the sky.

Since the conception of the Rookie Carnival, it had been a tradition for the final tournament to be held here. Probably because it was one of the two biggest battle arenas in Arcadia. The other one was the Shi Xie Arena where the Arcadia Cup was usually being held.

The first day of the Rookie Carnival would start at seven in the evening. This was so people who had day jobs could still watch the game either on the Floating Coliseum or through the live stream that would be broadcasted through a livestream platform. The 16 players would fight it out in a tournament style battle until only eight players remained.

Then, on the second day, the quarter-finals and semi-finals would be held in the afternoon. While the finals would be held in the evening. Anyone could watch it at the venue and the livestream. It would also be broadcasted in the four major cities of Arcadia.

Everyone was very hyped for this tournament. Some were even much more invested because of the money they put on the betting pool.

This was a very big event on Arcadia, second only to Arcadia Cup. Most of the players who had enough money would buy a general admission ticket that would allow them to watch the battles at the audience area of the coliseum. But the rich players, especially those belonging to big teams, preferred to watch the game in the VIP area.

The Floating Coliseum had royal boxes where one could watch the fight privately and in a much better angle. It’s like the opera boxes at an opera house which was separated from each other.

Team Yunyue was one of the teams that reserved one of the royal boxes. Bai Ze was the one in charged of reserving it. He picked a 10-seater because Luo Yan said that Luo Ren and Yu Jiao would be watching with the team. He chose the 10-seater so they wouldn’t feel too crowded.

There were about 30 minutes before the start of the matches. Bai Ze looked around the other royal boxes and saw that most of them were already filled with players. While theirs, on the other hand, only had him and Su Yuqi. And oh, the humanoid form of the black dragon.

"Where’s Ji Yun anyway?" he asked no one in particular.

Su Yuqi chose to remain silent and just continued to sit there looking all bored. Annoying girl.

Bai Ze glanced at Dusk, hoping the other could answer him. The black dragon, by the way, was sitting far away from Su Yuqi. He was probably still traumatized by how the other had teased him before. Bai Ze looked at him sympathetically. As if telling the other that he could understand his pain. After all, he’s also a constant victim of this woman’s evil nature.

Dusk only looked at him as if he was crazy. But he still answered, "He’s with the moon elf."

Then after saying that, the dragon no longer cared about him and just turned his head forward to look at the arena stage.

Bai Ze didn’t mind the other’s attitude. Because right now, his only thought was, ’how come Ji Yun is allowed to go to the participants’ waiting area?’.

The players who would be fighting at the tournament were required to be at the venue 30 minutes before the start of the event. They would wait at the designated waiting area and no other players were allowed there except for the participants. That’s why it didn’t cross his mind that Shen Ji Yun might be there.

Surely, that guy wouldn’t have used his identity as the nephew of Moonlight Media’s CEO just to go around that rule, right?

Before he could think of any other scenario, a voice from below suddenly spoke;

"Hey, beastkin, I want another Mana fruit."

Bai Ze lowered his head and looked at the miniature red dragon comfortably sitting on his lap. With a potion he bought from Bian Que’s alchemy shop, he succeeded in wiping the dragon’s memories. But there was a side-effect. The other returned to his early childhood stage.

Now, the red dragon not only could not return to his humanoid form, he was also much more arrogant and prideful. Although Bai Ze managed to form a contract with the other, the red dragon didn’t think of him as his master but treated him as a servant instead.

He sighed, thinking that he was really too unlucky. But he still took out a Mana fruit and gave it to the red dragon. The other happily ate it, but still didn’t forget to look like it was Bai Ze’s honor that he accepted the fruit.

Bai Ze just shook his head. The moment he looked up, he saw a sudden distortion in the air. A sign that someone was about to teleport in their royal box. Who could it be other than his older cousin and Yu Jiao?

Because the only ones allowed to teleport inside were those who had the VIP ticket with the number of the royal box engraved on it. For example, their royal box was number three. So, the number ’3’ was written on the VIP tickets that he gave to his team mates.

Soon, the figure of Yu Jiao and Luo Ren appeared inside the box. But they were not alone, another person was with them. And this person looked exactly like his older cousin! contemporary romance

The man who looked almost like Luo Ren’s doppelganger looked around the royal box before his gaze landed on Bai Ze.

"Ah Ze, I almost didn’t recognize you. Are you a lion/human hybrid?" the man said in an excited tone. He looked around, his eyes twinkling. Almost like a child out on his first excursion. "Is this place really floating in the sky? How fascinating!"

Hearing the other’s voice and staring at the other’s face more thoroughly, Bai Ze had already guessed who this person was.

"Uncle Tian?"
