Chapter 193 The Duel Contest Begins

half a month later.

"How is it? Richard hasn't come out yet?"

Parker looked at Margaret in front of him and said impatiently.

There's no need to rush!

Today is the day when the duel competition begins. Although Parker has already registered for Richard before, Richard needs to enter the venue in person today to participate. If Richard is absent, he may be directly judged as the loser. In serious cases, Richard may be directly counted as forfeiting.

"I don't know whether Richard has made any breakthroughs yet, but Richard should know the date. Even if he hasn't made a breakthrough to become a high-level wizard, he should have come out today."

Margaret frowned. Richard had not come out for half a month since he broke through to become a high-level wizard in seclusion. The breakthrough of a wizard was crucial, so Margaret naturally would not take the initiative to disturb Richard.

However, Parker only came over when he saw that the time for the duel competition had arrived.

Seeing that Richard had not come out yet, the two could only wait anxiously in the room.

Richard also encountered some situations while in seclusion.

Because the Spirit of Chaos used by Richard came from the great god Ou Yun, a ninth-level peak magical beast.

This resulted in Richard not completely consuming the power of the Spirit of Chaos after he was promoted to a seventh-level wizard, and all the auxiliary magic materials required to be promoted to a high-level wizard were used up.

Fortunately, Richard is now a high-level chaos wizard. Even without auxiliary magic materials, he can rely on his own magic power to slowly refine the remaining chaos spirits.

So Richard stayed in the room for half a month.

Seeing that the duel competition was about to begin, Richard knew that he had to come out as soon as possible, and immediately increased the speed of refining the Spirit of Chaos.

When Richard opened the door, he saw Parker waiting outside.

"How is it? It shouldn't take that long to break through to a high-level wizard!"

As the quasi-marquis of the Dover family, Parker naturally knew how long it took for a sixth-level wizard to break through to a high-level wizard, and Richard had obviously exceeded that time, so Parker was a little worried.

If Richard failed to break through to become a high-level wizard, not only would Parker lose money on the formulas and materials he provided to Richard, but more importantly, the contestants on his team were all mediocre. Oriel was already the strongest person besides Richard. It would be difficult for him to even get a good ranking, let alone qualify.

"Thanks to Mr. Parker, I have already broken through to become a high-level wizard. I just encountered a small problem during the breakthrough, but it has been resolved now."

Richard smiled slightly. This time, he not only broke through to the seventh-level wizard, but also relied on his own ninth-level spiritual power and the magic power of the Spirit of Chaos refined by Lord Ou Yun to directly break through to the eighth-level wizard.

In addition, Richard also mastered some of the abilities of Lord Ou Yun through the Spirit of Chaos.

However, Richard was not proud because he was still far from being a true eighth-level wizard in terms of magic and equipment.

"That's great, let's go sign up!"

Parker saw that Richard had broken through to become a high-level wizard, and he was delighted to know that with the fighting skills Richard had shown, he would have a chance of qualifying.

Richard followed Parker to a plane space channel teleportation array.

"This duel competition is held on a high-level plane, so the contestants are limited to the high-level stage."

Parker told Richard everything he knew about the duel competition.

"However, the preliminary rounds are divided into groups based on regions. There are only ten places for Dover Province in the preliminary rounds. With your strength, you still have a good chance."

"I know you haven't learned the advanced chaos magic yet, so I've prepared for you. The schedule for the preliminary round won't be too tight. You need to master these advanced chaos magic as soon as possible."

Parker teleported Richard to a higher level plane and directly appeared in a huge dueling arena, which was the dueling arena used in the Dover Province preliminary round.

Next to him were the contestants from Parker's team, a dozen combat professionals from level three to level five, and a level four summoning wizard.

O'Neill, who had been defeated by Richard before, was also among them. When he saw Parker coming with Richard in person, he did not cause trouble for Richard, but looked at him with disdain.

Richard didn't care about him. He didn't need to take this warrior who relied on the resources of the Dover family and had average fighting skills seriously.

In the audience seats of the duel arena, there were many nobles from the province of Dover sitting scattered around.

It's not even time to start yet, but there are already quite a few spectators waiting.

Under Parker's leadership, Richard went to the registration point of the duel competition to confirm his participation, while O'Neill and others had already completed this step.

"I don't know what Parker was thinking. He actually went to pick up Richard in person. I really don't know what's so good about Richard?"

A level 3 warrior spoke up.

However, he did not expect that his words offended Oriel who was defeated by Richard.

If you say Richard is not good enough, then isn't O'Neill, who was defeated by Richard, even worse?

"Why? You want to try it with me in the duel arena?"

Olier stared at the third-level warrior. If he was not also a member of the Dover family, he would not even be qualified to participate in the duel competition.

The third-level warrior didn't dare to say anything and quickly apologized to O'Neill.

When Richard came back, he found that the contestants' attitudes towards him had become better.

Richard couldn't figure out what was going on.

At the end of the day, registration confirmation for the duel competition is closed, and the opponent will be randomly selected.

A huge magic circle appeared in the center of the duel arena, showing all the opponents of the preliminary contestants on it.

"Ah! I'm in trouble. My opponent is Toby, the pride of the family. He is a high-level warrior!"

A level three warrior cried, Richard remembered that the data showed that Toby had defeated two level eight warriors head-on, and was the favorite to compete for the first place in Dover Province.

"Come on, with your strength, even if you don't meet Toby, who can you defeat!"

The people around me laughed.

In fact, this is true. Many of the members of Parker's team are here to get the minimum living allowance reward.

Richard also saw his opponent, a less famous level 4 fighter. With Richard's strength, he naturally didn't need to worry too much.

The others had mixed feelings. Oriel's opponent was also a level five warrior, and was from a Marquis' family. His strength should be similar to Oriel's, so it would probably be a fierce battle.

The fourth-level summoning wizard encountered a third-level warrior, which was considered a lucky break, and he was sure to win the first battle.

The duel arena is divided into sixteen areas. The person whose name lights up on the magic circle needs to go to the designated area to participate in the battle.

Richard took a look at the venue. It was a bit of a disadvantage for wizards as the venue was half the size of the official duel venue. However, considering that this was the preliminary round and truly capable wizards would be able to qualify, he felt relieved.
