The competition's finals would be held after three days.
The main reason was that all the participants had lost a lot of energy in the preliminary matches, so they needed time to recover.
During these three days, everyone remained occupied.
That was because other competitions for the tournament were carried out simultaneously during this period.
Competitions such as alchemy, talismanmaking, formation, beast-training, and so on were carried out one by one.
Although these competitions did not attract as much attention as the martial arts competition, it still caught many of the onlookers' eyes. The scene was very lively.
Fade did not pay attention to these competitions. Instead, he returned to Talmon's mansion.
Although he had not exhausted too much of his power during the preliminary round, he still used up some of his strength, after all. Hence, he had to hurry up and restore his strength.
However, just as he was about to go into seclusion to recuperate, someone came to Talmon's mansion.
It was Deniz.
"What are you doing here?" Yarrow was hostile towards him.
Deniz looked away from him and did not bother to argue with the latter. Instead, he raised his head and said, "I'm here for business so I have no time to mess around with you."
"You..." Yarrow's expression darkened.
Just then, Talmon stepped forward and boomed, "What is it? Just say it!"
Deniz replied, "Here's the thing. Master Gu has ordered Fade to go to his place to discuss the finals in three days."
"What's there to discuss?" Yarrow said
discontentedly.
Deniz was displeased, and he said, "Yarrow, what do you mean by that? This is Master Gu's wish. Are you going to defy his orders?"
"You..." Yarrow was about to retort.
However, Talmon said, "Alright, I got it. I'll take Fade there."
"You may come over tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Please don't forget the time," Deniz said.
"Are you done speaking? Get out of here now!" Talmon waved his fist and sent Deniz scrambling out of the mansion.
Yarrow was a little puzzled. He looked at Talmon and said, "Why are you going to them? There's nothing to discuss with them. In my opinion, they are dissatisfied with Fade defeating Alyx. Maybe they are thinking of taking revenge against us!"
Talmon shook his head and said, "No, I believe it's about the finals. Devin isn't that stupid."
"Is there anything special about the finals?"
Yarrow asked.
Talmon did not answer his question. Instead, he said, "You'll know tomorrow."
"Go and inform Fade to get ready."
The next morning, Fade, Talmon, and Yarrow came to the Gu family mansion.
Although Fade had been in South Yan City for some time, he had never been to the Gu family mansion.
Upon entering the mansion, Fade was impressed by the size of it and its exquisite and luxurious architecture. "No wonder the Gu family has remained one of the most influential families in South Yan City for tens of thousands of years," he thought to himself.
Moreover, the family had specifically set up a formation around the mansion to defend against possible invasions from outsiders.
The inside of the Gu family's mansion was much more luxurious than Talmon's mansion.
After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the main meeting hall.
Several people were already sitting in the conference hall by the time the three men arrived, including Devin, Deniz, Uzair, Alyx, Beatrice, and some others of Fade's acquaintances, as well as several elders whom he had never seen before.
As soon as the three men entered the room, all eyes fell on them.
''They're here!"
Devin announced.
"Yes. We're here!"
Talmon replied.
The next second, Deniz shouted at Fade, "Master Gu is here, why aren't you bowing to him?"
Fade remained unmoving, showing no intention of paying his respects to Devin.
"How dare you!" Deniz thundered.
However, at this moment, Talmon sneered and said to Devin, "If you summoned us here only to play this little trick on us, then we'll leave now."
After speaking, Talmon turned around and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, the Gu family members frowned.
At this moment, Devin finally spoke up, "Talmon, you've misunderstood us."
Then, he shot Deniz a look, signaling him to shut his mouth.
"I've invited all of you over this time to discuss the final match in two days."
