Hours passed, and at this moment, in a 'desert' part of the territory protected by the Dry City wall, a group of more than 300 people was standing there.

Among them were several well-known residents of the city and recent newcomers, such as Peter and the two former slaves released by Minos, Robin, and Barbara.

On one side, at some distance from the crowd of soldiers, people were standing while they waited for the start of the show with their arms crossed. Among them were Dillian, Elen, Elena, Eda, Abby, and some army officers who wouldn't fight today.

Some off-duty soldiers, such as Lee and Alison, were also among these people, here to witness the first military exercise of the Black Plain Army!

After all, many of them had never seen their leader's phenomenal strength, so this was a good time for them to learn more about this individual.

Dillian was here to take care of the aftermath, healing the injured soldiers and helping them regain their energy more quickly. In addition, there were also some spiritual pills reserved for soldiers as a preventive measure to increase the speed of recovery from whatever would happen in this event.

Finally, the four women were here mainly to watch Minos fighting against his soldiers. That would be quite a show, considering the numbers and the power involved.

Aside from Eda and Abby, who had seen Minos fight a Spiritual King before, Elena and Elen had never witnessed a fight of this level before.

Because of this, when they heard that such a thing was going to happen, these two young women from Stone Island had naturally been interested in coming to see this match.

Elena had had an exciting afternoon with Minos the day before and today had woken up feeling light and content to see this battle. She had come here for the chance to see this sexual partner, as well as to experience the fights in the north of the Central Continent.

Because of that, she was naturally satisfied with how things were going to develop. And even if Minos was going to be gone for a while, she could start fighting the Black Plain's soldiers as a form of training for her and the soldiers.

She had talked to Minos about it the day before, right after finding out about the fights Eda would have at army headquarters. So, as she would be here for almost a year, fighting local opponents in a similar scheme to Eda's would be excellent for her to test her strength.

...

Anyway, while more than 200 people dressed in battle clothes were around a young man with brown hair, preparing for the start of the fight, Elen's group was already talking about this event.

"Wow, I know Minos is powerful, but will he truly be able to fight so many opponents?" Elena asked the people in the group while she had a dubious look on her face.

She had never seen Minos fighting, but she had already heard from Elen some of this young man's achievements. However, the scale of what this young man wanted to do today was too frightful for Elena.

Even higher-level individuals than Minos might not be able to beat as many opponents from the beginning of the 5th stage of cultivation. So, Elena was doubtful.

"In the third round of the Spiritual Tournament, young Minos defeated 124 opponents of similar strength to his. So, I think today's numbers are close to ideal for a balanced fight." Eda replied while doing some math.

Minos had grown a lot stronger in the meantime, and his fighting proficiency had increased. And given the fact that a common Battle Royale wasn't a challenge for him, then only a group as big as that could make things more interesting for both sides.

"Hmm, Minos can already fight a Spiritual King... So, this challenge isn't as difficult for him as you might think." Abby proudly commented as she looked towards Minos.

Elen then looked at Abby and questioned her. "Is this true?"

In the previous days, this ally of Minos had heard some rumors about the supposed victory of the local ruler over Spiritual Kings. However, there were so many different versions of this that she had thought such a thing was unfounded...

Abby then responded promptly. "Hmm, it's true. I was there, and I saw the moment when Minos killed that individual. And that Spiritual King was already at level 51!"

'Looks like he's been busier than me...'

...

While the group of spectators chatted, waiting for the match to start, at this moment, Minos was finishing talking to the soldiers.

"Don't take it easy on me in this fight. Today I am not the sovereign of the Black Plain, but an enemy that must be stopped."

"An enemy that will infect this place if he succeeds in invading the local territory, taking information out, threatening the common population of losing everything they've got. Someone who might very well end your children's lives, enslave your wives and families, kill your friends. An individual who will take everything you have if he wins!"

"Many of you came from outside the Dry City... Is there any place that offers the local conditions? Do you think that if this place is invaded, there will be a preservation of current rights and opportunities?" Minos spoke as he looked at his soldiers, seeing Peter, Pyke, Humbert, Robin, Barbara, Dumas, and several others.

"I won't lie. Maybe you guys will lose today and feel discouraged by the difference in level. But this is an opportunity. You at least will have a chance to learn what it's like to fight someone with strength above level 50 without having your lives at risk."

"Losing today, the only downside would be having to feel some physical pain for a few hours. You guys can lose against me. That is training, after all."

"However, you will not be able to lose against the real enemies of the Black Plain. Otherwise, in addition to being killed, everything I said will happen to this city and your relatives."

"So, face me with everything you have, regardless of the result. Just take it seriously, trying to get the best out of the fight. Only those who learn something from this will have a chance to see the Black Plain beat all its opponents!"

"For the Black Plain!"

"For the Black Plain!" The soldiers repeated Minos' speech when they finished hearing their leader's words.

"Let's start!" Saying this, Minos waited a moment until he saw that his soldiers had already started to move away from him.

After all, there were a few dozen people there who had seen Minos' fights, so they knew whoever stayed around him would most likely be the first to lose in this training.

Both their speed and spiritual energy would be affected, which would eliminate a large number of these individuals.

'Very well, this is the correct way to fight someone with my characteristics, however…' So, he thought to himself when he finally started to make his move.

Explosive Steps!

Indestructible Body!

Devouring Art!

In doing so, Minos quickly moved several meters in a few seconds, simultaneously with the appearance of a black ring over the sky there. Such characteristic of his support technique had left his body and expanded until reaching the 100 meters radius, with the young Stuart in its center.

Zoom!

The black mist inside the ring diminished the luminosity of that place, while a buzz began to sound in the surroundings there.

And at the same time, as his body was greatly strengthened, young Stuart quickly approached one of the groups of soldiers.

He then smiled and activated his attack technique, using a low-level grade-2 sword to direct his attacks.

Spatial Sword!

Swooish!

Swooish!

Several air blades, with more than 1 meter in wingspan, cut the horizon while following different directions.

Boom!

Boom!

Quickly the fight started to catch 'fire' when the two sides began to counterattack each other!

"Attack!" The opposing group screamed as they unleashed their attacks on Minos...
