Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132 Exhibition tournament

The sixth day of the Feast finally came to be. Conglomerates and Upper Echelon companies found themselves on the backfoot. They thought that the Swordsmen Exhibition was going to be their fortunate blessing from the heavens. A chance for them to finally put the Reborn company back to where they belonged. But the exact opposite happened. Somehow, they were able to put their products on the forefront of every discussion. Chocolate ice cream became a bestseller almost instantly. Of course, one of those reasons was Fenix's miraculous recovery. He, who was said to be a cripple who couldn't even hold his own sword correctly, was now showing off with the same amount of power and skill as the top Knights said to be the frontrunners for the Exhibition. But that wasn't all. It was also rumored that the chocolate ice cream had an intrinsic property of increasing one's power by a tiny amount. Of course, not many people believed this. A consumable dessert that only cost one token was going to have the same effect as an expensive herbal pill? It didn't make sense. But it only took one taste for people to realize the truth. And from there, the rumor began to spread far and wide, eventually reaching the new arrivals. The Order of the Heavenly Knights had finally dispatched some of their members to New Sparta in order to oversee the competition by the Heavenly Swordmistress. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all. And from that opportunity, the sharks smelled blood. The Upper Echelon Companies and the Conglomerates immediately began planning their schemes in order to somehow get these Knights into their side. And they weren't only targets these business men were after. They wanted the business of the Beastfolks. Beastfolks had been noticeably absent during the Feast. After all, the food that the companies prepared were all made to be consumed by humans. Beastfolk were not interested in eating those. Many Beastfolks like the Mermen had specific criteria for their diet. For example, they ate only krill and sea vegetables. The Werewolves liked to hunt their food. Perhaps the only Beastfolk who could partake in the Feast were the Beastfolks. They ate whatever they wanted. However, they disliked the thought of lining up in queues and walking amongst other people. So, the Conglomerates and the Upper Echelons had to cater to their wishes and specifically have their own chefs create food directly in the Draconian Towers. In short, they were doing all that they could to climb up high in the rankings before the eventual final day. But it was never enough. That was why they had to do something drastic. They had to use their Nascent Spirit Maugnetics. Michael and the rest of the Rebornian staff all waited intently at one of the VIP sections in the Colosseum. The Heavenly Swordmistress herself gave them this area as a way of thanks, which was very much appreciated. Finally, the exhibition tournament started. Banners waved all around the Colosseum. Crowds cheered at the top of their lungs. The smell of sweat and determination wafted over the entire area. The announcer of the competition shouted: "Are you ready!" The crowd answered back with a resounding: "YES!"
