Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Apart from the requirements for age and strength, there was no other criteria for the candidates. Therefore, almost all those warriors of Imperial Level from all the forces in the Devil Kingdom who were under forty years old came to participate in the race held by the Xiao Clan. Even the Xuanyuan Clan, which was the largest force in the Devil Kingdom, sent warriors to participate in the race. Fearing that another major force would ally with the Xiao Clan through marriage, the Xuanyuan Clan jumped in to get a piece of the action themselves.

Warriors had already occupied the areas around the stage, eager to watch the prestigious event, while the candidates were eager to fight. To be honest, however, not many candidates were very powerful. Most of them were only at the primary stage of Imperial Level. It was the warriors at the medium stage of Imperial Level who had an upper hand in this competition.

Therefore, the race for the marriage would actually become a contest among those warriors at the medium stage of Imperial Level. They mainly belonged to the forces at the premium stage, such as the Xuanyuan Clan, while only a small number of them were from forces at the medium stage or primary stage.

Therefore, even before the race began, a few warriors at the medium stage of Imperial Level had become popular candidates, including Saul of the Xuanyuan Clan. As a warrior at the fifth grade of Imperial Level, he was considered one of the best contenders. No other competitor was stronger than him. Saul was Larry's nephew and he was thirty-five years old. He was ranked in the top three among Imperial Level warriors in the Xuanyuan Clan, so he was greatly valued by Larry. According to rumors, the Xuanyuan Clan had already selected him as the future leader. In addition to Saul, there were several other warriors at the medium stage of Imperial Level from other major clans who were also very strong. Moreover, some warriors of Imperial Level from the Xiao Clan would also be participating in the race too, including the ones arranged by Daniel.

"In the race, there are four rounds in total. For each round, the participants will compete against each other, and the final winner will have the chance to challenge Harley. If anyone can defeat him in the first round, he will replace Harley and compete in the second. If nobody can defeat Harley in the first challenge, Harley will still be challenged in the following round. If nobody has defeated Harley at the end of the four rounds, he will be officially engaged to Vivian under the witness of all the people here, and they will select a day to hold their wedding ceremony. If anyone defeats Harley, then Vivian will decide whether or not she wishes to be engaged to that person."

After this announcement, people started to discuss with each other. They all felt that the rules were entirely on the side of the Xiao Clan. Zachary was greatly appreciated by Jaxon, and Jaxon had already promised Zachary his daughter's hand. So their engagement had been already finalized. Even if they defeated Zachary, they might still not be able to marry her, as she would take the final decision. The rules sounded a little unfair, because she could find all kinds of excuses to refuse the winner.

Despite this, none of them wanted to miss the chance to be Jaxon's son-in-law. Therefore, even though the rules were unfair, the participants were not willing to quit and lose this golden opportunity.
