Houston nodded in satisfaction, proud of his daughter.
In the past, Calder had always been superior to him in the family, regardless of status or strength.
Now, it was completely different. Calder was about to lose his position as the head of the family, and he was still an elder of the parliament.
Perhaps in terms of personal strength, he was still no match for Calder.
But what did it matter? Calder did not have an excellent daughter! He did not have an excellent descendant!
If his daughter won, he won.
No matter how good you are, Calder, you will still be labeled as a useless father.
Seeing the satisfaction and approval in her father’s eyes, Kaki enjoyed it very much. At the same time, she secretly clenched her fists. She would definitely shine in this competition.
Of course, if she could meet Audrey on the field, it would be perfect.
In the past, she had no way to do anything to Audrey. She could only bully and tease her, not daring to hurt her.
But on the field, she could not care less. She could openly hurt her. She wanted to break her legs in front of everyone.
Oh no, the most important thing was to cut her hateful face so that she would never be able to seduce a man again.
…
The five clans’ members were divided into the preliminaries and the main competition.
The preliminaries were the auditions. Then, the contestants would be randomly matched from the thousands of applicants. After ten consecutive battles, the contestants would enter the main competition as long as they could win five battles.
This rule was relatively fair. Because it was a random match, you might be able to match a strong opponent, but you might also be able to match a feeble opponent. So, for example, in the eyes of others, contestants like Audrey, who was just a bystander, were used to earn points.
If a player won five out of ten matches, they would prove their strength and enter the main competition.
After rounds of elimination in the main competition, the strongest 64 people would be selected.
These 64 people would enter the final competition.
In addition, if someone was able to win all 10 matches in a row in the preliminaries, they did not have to participate in the main competition and could directly enter the final competition.
This kind of person who could win 10 matches in a row was the king of the ring. Anyone who appeared would be regarded as a seeded contestant.
In the previous five clans’ grand competitions, the probability of a king of the ring appearing was actually minuscule.
This was because by randomly matching 10 matches, no one dared to guarantee that they would be able to win all of them unless it was extremely strong and had almost no opponents.
…
According to the statistics, 3,219 participants had signed up to participate in the five clans’ grand competition this time.
It was clearly a very tedious task to select 68 out of the 3,219 participants.
Therefore, the auditions would last for a very long time.
According to the competition schedule, it would take two days for all the auditions to be completed.
The central area of the Divine Martial Palace was divided into 100 arenas. During the competition, battles were taking place simultaneously in each arena.
In arena 39, Audrey’s first opponent was a 19-year-old young man.
Judging from his attire, he was not from the five great clans. Instead, he should be from a small clan in Spark City.
“Miss Audrey, I didn’t expect that my first opponent would be you.”
The young man looked at his opponent. He was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was also a little happy.
Almost everyone in Spark City knew of Audrey’s name.
The news that she would participate in the five clans’ grand competition had already caused a stir in Spark City a week ago.
Many people had treated this matter as a joke after a meal.
Naturally, he also felt that it was ridiculous. A level 1 Fighter actually dared to participate in the competition. She must be a joke!
Of course, at this moment, he was happy in his heart. This was equivalent to obtaining a victory for nothing. It was effortless.
