Master Ch stared at Kt in a scrutinizing gaze as he did not understand what to reply.

Elder Cha, who stood beside Master Ch, leaned closer and said, "Master Ch, he is the last disciple who has be abst till now."

Master Ch immediately grasped what is going on. He nodded his head and replied, "You came on time. Go and stand along with other fighters."

After receiving the elder permission, Kt walked back to the cter of the ara, where the other 3 fighters stood in one single row, along with their pets.

The fire Kirin followed him closely, ignoring the fearful stares of other pets.

Kt wt to the far-left side of the row and stood beside a lady in snow combat clothes. A snow- peacock stood beside her, matching the lady\'s dress.

Kt recognized her with one glance. She is Mia Snow. The defding champion of the tournamt. She stood with a proud face, without ev wasting a glance at Kt.

After checking that everything is in order, Master Ch began speaking with an amplified voice.

The air crackled with anticipation as Master Ch, the esteemed vice patriarch of the Sky Family Wizard School, rose into the sky to address the gathered disciples a the ara. His robes billowed in the wind, a symbol of his authority and wisdom that commanded the respect of all.

"My esteemed disciples, I welcome every one of you to the 333rd secondary Magus competition." Master Ch began, his voice carrying across the ara with authority and gravitas.

"Today marks a momtous occasion as we gather once again to showcase the talts and skills of our young magi. Today we will have a small competition for combat matching, and the real fight starts after five days. This is an opportunity for each of you to demonstrate the dedication and determination that define our esteemed school."

But I have a special announcemt before we start the match-drawing process. He paused, allowing his words to sink in as the crowd murmured in excitemt.

The tire ara became dead silt, waiting for Master Ch to reveal the special announcemt.

"Indeed, in addition to the regular rewards offered by our school, I am pleased to announce a special opportunity for the winner of this tournamt," Master Ch continued, his voice ringing out with authority.

"An elder from the Autumn Wind Sect of the Gold Bamboo City will be here to witness the tournamt. And not only that, but the elder has pledged to personally recruit the winner of the competition to join the \'Autumn Wind Sect\'."

A collective gasp swept through the crowd as Master Ch\'s words sank in. The Autumn Wind sect, rowned as a Tier school of immse prestige and power, held the promise of boundless opportunities for those fortunate ough to be selected.

"You, the winner of this tournamt, will be destined to become a promint figure within the ranks of the Autumn Wind Sect," Master Ch proclaimed, his voice ringing with conviction.

"Your name will be known far and wide, and your talts will be honed to their fullest pottial under the guidance of the elders of the sect. This is once in a life time opportunity, destined to make you someone special.

At his words, the ara erupted into a cacophony of cheers and applause, with disciples shouting in excitemt and shooting fireworks into the air with their magic weapons. The atmosphere crackled with ergy as anticipation reached its peak.

After allowing the fervor to subside, Master Ch raised his hand in silce, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a sse of pride and determination.

"And so, my esteemed disciples, let us embark upon this tournamt with courage and resolve," he declared. "May the best among you rise to claim victory and seize the opportunity that awaits. Let the combat matching begin!"

As Master Ch descded from the sky, Elder Cha took the stage and began speaking about the combat matching contest.

"As the defding champion, Mia Snow will only fight with the final winner. The remaining 3 of you, get ready with your pets.

Soon, 3 flags with serial numbers will appear in the sky. Based on the number of flag you captured, your oppont will be mapped in the first of the competition.

The person who catches the gold flag will have the opportunity to choose his oppont in the first . Consider this act seriously, as the last 3 winners of the secondary Magus tournamt were the ones who captured gold flags. Good luck, guys."

As Elder Cha finished her speech, everyone began mounting their pets readily. Kt also did the same.

As Elder Cha pointed her wand into the air, a number displayed in the sky. … 9…. 8…

Except for Mia Snow, everyone is eagerly waiting for the momt to fly. Kt leaned forward and whispered something in Kirin\'s ear.

"Be ready... if we capture the gold flag, I will treat you to tasty food every day." Kt rubbed the Kirin\'s neck with an anticipated smile.

In the next instance, flames erupted from the Fire Kirin, like a blazing sun (imagine Captain Marvel while flying).

"Hey…"

Arul, the previous runner-up, who stood beside Mia, shouted angrily as his pet, the red python, shredded in fear after seeing the fires from Kt\'s pet.

"Sorry… Sorry…" Kt replied awkwardly with a smiling face. But he didn\'t stop his pet from breathing fire.

Arul cursed angrily and patted his red python for imparting courage. "If I lose this contest because of you, I will break your legs." Arul shouted angrily towards Kt with a threating gesture.

Kt just smiled casually, completely ignoring his threat. Mia, who stood in the middle, turned her head towards Arul. "Stop threating people. You are destined to be a runner-up again."
