There were all kinds of devils on the other continent called the Devil Continent.
Dating back to the ancient times, there had only been one formal agreement between the Justice Continent and the Devil Continent—they would not stop fighting against each other until the last creature from either continent died.
Over countless years, both continents had each gained victories and suffered losses for almost equal times. When all their previous and recent fights were combined and tallied together, it could clearly be seen that the fight had been in a draw.
However, things had changed since over twenty years ago. It was during the time when the Devil King—the most powerful warrior ranked number one in the entire Devil Continent—made a breakthrough and became a first-class completed spiritual king at peak state, incredibly surpassing the human emperor.
Following the Devil King's breakthrough as a first-class completed spiritual king was the devils' invasion of the Justice Continent. For the past over twenty years, the devils had barged into Justice Continent territory until such time that they now occupied about two-thirds of their enemy's land.
One could only imagine the sheer number of powerful warriors from the Human Royal Palace who were slain and killed. All those years, the human warriors had to endure losing more and more of their brothers-in-arms. It didn't take long before they became powerless against the Tiger Royal Palace and the Elf Royal Palace. Fortunately, neither of the two palaces had bullied the Human Royal Palace. This was because the three forces shared a common enemy in the form of the devils.
Sadly, the last remaining prince of the Human Royal Palace perished during the latest battle against the devils. To make things worse, the human emperor was also nearing his deterioration. Therefore, the other two palaces would have to fight over who would enjoy authority in the Justice Continent.
Obviously, the human emperor also knew that this was bound to happen. As such, after a quick discussion among the three forces, he decided to hold a martial arts contest in search for the most suitable and deserving son-in-law.
Meanwhile, the Human Royal Palace also had a princess. She was called Princess Lori.
All the male creatures who were less than three hundred years old in the Justice Continent were qualified to participate in the contest. The final winner would be granted permission to marry Princess Lori. He would also be granted the title of Justice King and gain authority over the entire Justice Continent.
The so-called Justice King could directly order all the creatures from the three palaces. Naturally, he could also call upon all the creatures residing within the Justice Continent.
The contest was set to be held in ten days.
That was because they knew that the devils would attack them again very soon.
They didn't have the luxury of time to sit around and wait for things to happen. If they wanted to win against those devils once and for all, then they needed a powerful and capable leader to lead them.
"A martial arts contest to find a husband for the princess? It sounds great! I hope that Princess Lori is not just some unattractive girl whose only appearance is enhanced by her royal bloodline." Soar pursed his lips before he smirked mockingly. Despite his light jest at the contest, it seemed that he was quite interested in joining himself.
"Did I hear that right? You want to be the so-called Justice King?" Ricky grinned.
"Ricky, we are newcomers here. We can't obtain the Justice Saber Soul unless we help the creatures on the Justice Continent on their quest to defeat devils. In order for us to do that, the Justice King must be either one of us. You or me, buddy." Soar pointed his forefinger at Ricky, a wide smile forming across his lips.
"Unfortunately for you, you already have two women in the Massacring Zone. It will obviously be inconvenient for you to participate in the contest. Therefore, you have to entrust the title of Justice King to me."
"How dare you!" Ricky shook his head helplessly.
"But Soar, you haven't forgotten Madeline, have you?" Ricky asked as the woman's name came to his mind.
"Of course I haven't, Ricky. But I'm a guy and I'm a Great Dragon bound to fly high and far...I'm going to explore the vast, vast world in the near future. And so, I must..." Soar stared at the sky, his eyes glimmering and filled with expectations.
However, before he could even finish his words, Ricky interrupted. He took a quick glance at his delusional friend and shook his head before saying, "You're daydreaming!"
"You got one thing right, though. If we acquire the title of the Justice King, it will be convenient for us to accomplish what we must."
Ricky rested his chin on the space between his forefinger and thumb. "And if my assumptions are correct, one of the main reasons why the human emperor launched this contest is because deep down, he hopes that someone strong and skilled enough would emerge and defeat the geniuses from the other two palaces."
"All the more reason that you must hand me the spotlight. Please let me be the Justice King, Ricky," Soar appealed.
The two warriors then headed for the capital city of the Human Royal Palace.
Presently, the capital city of the Human Royal Palace no longer held its former glory. All over the continent, the countless traces of war, bloodshed, gunpowder and smoke were very visible. It was as if the last war had only taken place yesterday.
Although already close to being desolated, the continent was still being frequented by many creatures. The sudden boost in the visitors was the result of the upcoming martial arts contest. It seemed that many warriors from far and wide had taken interest in taking the princess' hand for marriage.
