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.
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.
