The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After Chris left a few more people also left the venue, so the party became quite quiet. But it did not matter to Rein or Sophia as there were just as many people around them as it was before. But they also did not stay in the party for too long. After about 3 hours, they also returned back to their rooms..

Even though Sophia was confident in her strength she was still worried that she would make some kind of mistake in the main stage. For that reason Sophia wanted to have some practice before the start of the championship.

For that reason, even though she was very unwilling, Sophia decided to reduce some time from sex and used that extra time to practice.

She and Rein had many mock battles and they even went hunting in a nearby forest. Sophia even went ahead and destroyed the headquarters of a criminal organisation to practice her spying and assassination skills. Just like that days passed by quickly and it was already the time for the World Blessed Championship to begin.

...

Just one day before the competition, the grouping for the UR grades was declared. More than one thousand UR grade powerhouses were divided into 64 teams. All the people who were in the same group had to fight each other in order to gather points.

Winning against someone rewarded the victor with two points and in case of a draw both of the fighters were given one point. A loser obviously got nothing. Not all the groups had the same number of participants but most of the groups had 16 people in it. The remaining few groups had 15 blessed.

This was the qualifying round. From each group four people with the highest amount of points would be able to advance to the main competition. This was also the round that eliminated the most competitors in this . Championship.

After checking the list, Rein found himself in the 51st group. On the other hand, Sophia was in the 7th group. Among the remaining two UR grade blessed from the Maltria nation, another one was participating. He was quite old and had participated in the world championship 5 times. But he had never managed to reach the second round.

So this time he was going all out to not get eliminated in the very first round. His group was 35th.

The last night before the start of the competition, a grand party was hosted by the government of Maltria. All the blessed who were participating in the world championship were invited in this party alongside a few government officials and sponsoring organisations.

Sophia was the centre of this party. Even for the other grades, there were not many people who had a chance to compete in the main competition. The honour of a whole nation depended on how Sophia was going to perform. Having more people advancing to the top 256 for the UR grade was a great achievement for any nation.

Obviously quite a few people were cheering on Cytrus, who was the other UR grade who was going to participate in his sixth championship. This year he was confident that he had a chance to advance to the next round. Especially because the 35th group did not have any notable UR grades who were remarkably strong.

So if Cytrus did well, he had a high chance to be among the top four with his vast experience.

As for Rein, obviously as an UR grade powerhouse and a handsome man, he was also getting some attention. But as the other people including the government officials were not aware of Rein's true strength, they had no hope that Rein would be able to advance to the next round. With how young Rein was, even winning a few matches would be a miracle in their eyes.

This party did not last for too long as all the participants needed to have a good long rest before the start of the tournament. So after Sophia gave a speech which made all the other blesseds very motivated to do well, everyone returned back to their rooms to rest.

Even someone as hypersexual as Sophia only had one session with Rein that night. Even after all that practice, Sophia was still a bit nervous about everything and wanted to be in her top condition before the first match. Rein also decided to do just that and retired early. He was looking forward to how this tournament would turn out to be.

...

The next morning, the whole city was bustling with excitement. Both the locals and the foreigners who had come here because of the tournament were not able to hold themselves back anymore. This was the greatest show in this world and everyone was getting agitated as it was just about to start.

The very first match was going to be between the previous champion Chris and a person named Howard who had managed to rank 23rd in the last championship. This was a high profile match and the audience was over the moon because of this.

Chris had a very simple fighting style. His symbol was that of an armour and he was able to cover himself in one. But that armour was not only useful for defense but also increased his physical abilities so that his strength was greater than before and his speed would also increase.

Not only that but as that armour was very hard, if he charged at someone or hit someone with a punch, that would deal a huge amount of damage.

So this armour was an extremely powerful ability that had helped with everything, be it defense, offence, speed or anything else. There was even a rumour that this ability even increased Chris' self healing power. But no one was sure about that as Chris had never been so badly injured in the championship where he needed to use that ability.

But if that was true, then just breaking through his defence would not be enough.

Chris' opponent was quite powerful and created a large sand golem to fight him. But just as everyone had expected, Chris directly clashed with the golem, broke it in less than 10 exchanges and attacked the man controlling it. He did his best to create more smaller golems to stall Chris but this tactic only bought his a few extra minutes.

Even without breaking a sweat, Chris was able to destroy all his golems and finally when he managed to reach this man, Chris knocked him unconscious with just a single punch. That was how the opening match of the tournament came to an end with an overwhelming victory for the previous champion.

It looked like this time the champion was definitely going to be quite interesting.
