Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(1-3VOL)

Chapter 41: The Martial Arts Tournament

"What are you thinking? If there's such a good place, I wouldn't be staying here!"

Cyra rolled her eyes when she saw my expression.

"Edenmere is currently hosting a martial arts tournament these days, and quite a few angels have gone out to watch it."

"Martial arts tournament?"

I was confused. Martial arts tournaments seem to only exist in wuxia novels. How come the angels are also doing this kind of thing?

"Of course, it's because they are bored! I told you before, that many angels have the habit of sleeping. With the 'no sleep order', there is a large number of angels having nothing to do. So activities are organized for them to kill the time!"

Cyra sorted her cards while explaining to me and prompted me to play first,

"A 3..."

I randomly threw out the lowest points and lowered my head to take a closer look at my cards. I couldn't help but frown.

"Where are the competitions held? How come I don't know about such things?"

I took the opportunity to ask while waiting for her move.

"4 Aces!"

Without saying anything, Cyra threw out a quad and stared at the cards in her hand while casually answering.

"Of course, it's at the North Triumph Plaza. The place is spacious. You don't usually go to places like that, so of course you don't know."

"I pass."

I shook my head to signal her to continue playing. Still puzzled, I asked again.

"How come Norma and the others never mentioned it to me? Did they sign up at that plaza too?"

"I think so... Do you want to participate?"

Cyra glanced at the ceiling as she tried to remember.

"The angels participating in the martial arts tournament are at least six-winged or eight-winged high-ranking angels. For new angels like us, it would be a waste to go up and compete, so of course they didn't tell us."

"4455667788!"

After speaking, she threw out a long string of pairs.

"I pass."

I didn't even bother to look at my cards and directly indicate that I passed.

"Never mind that they didn't tell us. I and Nicola are six-winged too! We can still go and watch even if we don't participate."

"You're thinking too much. After all, Norma is just the chief steward of the Tivi Palace. She doesn't have the obligation to inform us about these entertainments. I only found out when I was out wandering at noon today and happened to see many angels and light elves gathered in the plaza. I asked about it when I came back."

Cyra glanced at me. Prepared, she immediately threw out four more cards.

"3 twos with a 3!"

"Uh...I pass."

How is she so lucky to get all good cards! I took a look and there were only 4 poker cards left in her hand, while on my side...

"Two King Quards!"

Following that, she mercilessly revealed two small and big ghost cards painted in a doodled style.
