Spirit Through the Heavens - C336 Start of the third round
Because Lu Feng did not stay long in Fan Lihua’s room, and because his clothes were neat and tidy when he came out, the male disciples of the Skyfire Sect did not make things difficult for him.
No matter what, this was within the Tian Dao Sect. If Lu Feng and Fan Lihua did not have anything to do, then it would be their mistake.
Although the rules of each sect were different, there were a few large sects that had similar rules. Anyone who messed with other sects would be severely punished.
Just like this, Lu Feng safely returned to his own room, and then, he cultivated until the sun rose.
When it was eight in the morning the next day, because there were still two matches left to fight yesterday, the first match of the day started on time as soon as eight o’clock arrived.
This match would be between the Bright Moon Sect and Heavenly Saber Sect. Because the cultivation of the disciples of Heavenly Saber Sect were slightly higher than the Bright Moon Sect, after two hundred rounds, the victor would be decided.
When the Bright Moon Sect’s disciple realized that his opponent’s treasured blade was placed on his neck, he could only helplessly sigh. Although he was unwilling, his strength was still inferior, so it was not unfair to lose.
“Alright, next will be the final match of the second round. It’ll be the Luoyun Sect’s Haotian against Five Elements Sect’s Shen Lang.” Hua Long stood on stage and announced.
Boom!
As soon as his voice fell, a powerful aura surged toward the arena like a torrential river. Following it, a figure quickly appeared on the arena.
He saw the man with slightly curly hair standing on the stage with a pair of mace in his hands.
On the other side, a man dressed like a scholar slowly walked onto the stage. When he saw his opponent who had already appeared on the stage, he smiled to show his friendliness.
“You may leave, we are all part of the Three Great Sects, I do not wish to hurt you!” The man holding the mace said softly.
“Hurt me?”
This was the first time he heard someone dare to speak to Spiritual Talisman Master like that.
The realm of the Small Talisman Master was not low and even Later Period of Core Condensation Stage experts might not have the ability to break through the formation. Therefore, Haotian was curious as to why the opponent would talk to him like that.
“Because this is only a Friendly Race, I will tell you my secret first. The two trump cards in my hand can resist mental attacks, and there is also another function of it, and that is to break the formation.”
“Because of this trump card, I have already killed several Spiritual Talisman Master s, among them there are many at the Small Talisman Master realm, so you are not my opponent!” Shen Lang said expressionlessly.
“Hua!”
When he said that, the area around the stage immediately went into an uproar, he had killed several Spiritual Talisman Master s before, and one of them was even at the Small Talisman Master Realm, this was simply a nightmare for Spiritual Talisman Master.
“Sect Leader Mo, could it be that the young man on the stage is the Ghost Face Slaughterer?!” Below the stage, a middle-aged man standing beside Mo Qi said as his eyes narrowed.
“Oh, I didn’t think that Sect Leader Luo would know my sect’s disciple.” Mo Qi smiled and tacitly agreed.
“It’s really him!”
Seeing that Mo Qi agreed, Luo An’s eyes focused. Regarding the name of the Ghost Face Slaughterer, it was very well-known around Five Elements Sect.
Therefore, if Shen Lang was really the Ghost-Masked Slaughterer, then facing him, Haotian would really be in danger of losing his life.
But regarding Haotian, Luo Xin knew very well, that after the second round, he would be the only one left in the Luo Yun Sect who had not lost yet. If he was forced to admit defeat now, then there would only be one person left in the Luo Yun Sect who had not yet lost.
As for Zhu Geming, his cultivation only had Early Period of Core Condensation Stage, so he could not place any hope on at all. As a result, as long as Haotian lost, then it was equivalent to Luo Yun Sect being eliminated early.
As Small Talisman Master, Haotian was indeed very powerful, but he was also a nemesis of the Spiritual Talisman Master. The moment they met a Spiritualist who could resist spirit power, they wouldn’t be able to fully display their advantages.
Therefore, the possibility of Haotian winning against Shen Lang was much less than being injured.
“Sigh!”
Helplessly sighing, Luo An stepped forward and said to Haotian, who was on the arena, “Haotian, we admit defeat in this match. You are not his match!”
Ah!
As soon as Luo An finished his words, the disciples who came to observe with their Tian Dao Sect were instantly struck dumb. Wasn’t Small Talisman Master s that powerful, why didn’t they dare to hit him anymore?
“Sect Leader, I …” Haotian wanted to say something, but when he saw the serious expression on Luo An’s face, he stopped himself.
Regarding his own Sect Master, Haotian naturally knew that if he admitted defeat, then Zhu Geming, who was left, would have no hope left. Therefore, he did not want to admit defeat in his heart at all.
“I admit defeat!”
However, although Haotian was unwilling, he couldn’t not listen to the Sect Leader’s words. Thus, he could only give up the match.
“You’re very sensible!”
When Shen Lang heard that the other party had taken the initiative to admit defeat, he lightly nodded his head, turned around, and jumped down the stage.
And just like this, because of Haotian admitting defeat, the last match of the second round ended hastily, followed by the third round of drawing of lots.
After going through another round of eliminations, there were only thirteen people who managed to successfully advance to the second round, Zhu Geming.
Of course, out of the thirteen people who had advanced, only one person had the same cultivation as Zhu Geming, and he was a female disciple from Skysword Sect.
“If I can fight with her, I still have a chance to enter the fourth round!” Zhu Geming analyzed the current situation. Although he did not have a big chance of winning, he did not give up.
Just as Zhu Geming was pondering, the drawing of lots started once again. It was the same as before.
But there were a total of fourteen people. Among them, one was from the Dimly Discernible Sect, one was from the Luo Yun Sect, one was from the Bright Moon Sect, two were from the Five Element Sect, two were from the Skyfire Sect, two were from the Heavenly Saber Sect, two were from the Tian Dao Sect, and three were from the Skysword Sect.
Amongst these fourteen people, only Tian Dao Sect remained, and the other thirteen were all cultivation Spiritualist s.
There was nothing he could do, although the Small Talisman Master was already very powerful, but if he really wanted to become strong, he had to reach the Talisman King realm first.
Therefore, there was an ancient saying that existed in this continent: one would rather offend the Soul Sovereign Expert than Talisman King Stage Expert.
Soul Sovereign Expert was an existence that stood at the peak of the continent, his strength was naturally not something that the Talisman King Stage Expert could compare to.
But even so, he would rather offend the Soul Sovereign Expert than Talisman King Stage Expert, because offending the Soul Sovereign Expert would at most result in death, and offending the Talisman King Stage Expert would only result in a fate worse than death.
Just like this, because the number of participants was only fourteen, they only needed to draw a few rounds. This amount of time was much lesser than in the second round.
After some selection, the name list for the third round was out. Lu Feng was against a male disciple from the Bright Moon Sect, whose cultivation was in the Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage, while Zhu Geming was not against a female disciple from the Skysword Sect. Instead, he was against a female disciple from the Five Elements Sect, whose cultivation was also in the Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage.
Towards this result, Zhu Geming felt helpless, but since the heavens had arranged it, then he had nothing else to say.
Luo An helplessly shook his head when he found out that Zhu Geming had battled this female disciple from the Five Elements Sect who possessed Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage. It seemed that the Luo Yun Sect’s Friendly Race was going to be at the bottom this time around.
However, this result was also expected by Luo An. Thus, he wasn’t too disappointed. He had already expected this result from the moment Haotian had admitted defeat.
“Alright, the first battle of the third round, will fight with Song Ming!” Hua Long announced.
Actually, before Hua Long had finished speaking, two figures had already appeared on the stage. After all, they had already been through two rounds, so it was very clear who would be the first to fight.
Skysword Sect had always been the first to draw lots, and Shen Gang was ranked first, so he was the first to fight in every round.
Boom!
When the two of them released their auras, the two auras fiercely interweaved with each other.
Compared to Shen Gang’s imposing aura, Song Ming’s imposing aura carried a burning sensation, and under the pressure of this imposing aura, it was as if he was stuck in a furnace, and was extremely uncomfortable.
However, because both of them had cultivations in Later Period of Core Condensation Stage, neither of them had gained an advantage in terms of aura.
“Buzz buzz!”
When Shen Gang revealed his treasure sword, a clear sword hum came out.
When he heard the sword chime, Song Ming’s eyes narrowed. The next second, he grabbed out with his right hand and a fiery red treasured sword appeared in his hand.
Because both sides had experienced two battles, the two had some understanding of each other.
Song Ming was very clear, Shen Gang’s Sword Qi was very sharp, and as someone who used the same sword, he was unable to catch up to him.
Of course, this did not mean that Song Ming would lose the competition. Although the Sword Qi was not as sharp as Shen Gang’s, his burning Sword Qi was still not as easy to handle.
In addition, their cultivations were about the same. Thus, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.
“I’m very happy to have a fight with you, because only then will I be able to display my true abilities!” Shen Gang looked at Song Ming and chuckled. Then, the Spiritual Energy in his body began to surge.
“Me too!”
“Yes!” Song Ming replied, because he was in the same situation as Shen Gang, and he had been holding back on his strength in the previous two matches.
“Lin Xuan, both sides in this competition use swords, so you have to carefully observe it. It would be best if you can comprehend something inside, as that will definitely be beneficial to your strength!” Lu Feng looked at the two people fighting on the stage, and then said to Lin Xuan softly.
“En!”
Lin Xuan also thought the same, thus his gaze was currently fixated on the two figures, afraid that he would miss out on anything the moment they moved.
“Wang Kai, these two people are of extraordinary strength. Although you use an axe, you still have to take a good look!” When Lu Feng realized that Wang Kai was a little absent-minded, he reminded him.
“Lu Feng, do you think people who use axes are useless? With so many people participating in the competition, no one would dare to use axes.” Wang Kai said somewhat helplessly.
