If the Fireelectric Rat King could calmly change directions and escape, then Ji Dong wouldn't be able to do anything to it in a short period of time. Unfortunately, the Fireelectric Rat King's heart was already in a mess. In the face of such danger, it subconsciously wanted to run in the opposite direction.
Just as it was about to raise its speed to the limit, the pulling force behind it suddenly disappeared. The Fireelectric Rat King's speed instantly reached an unprecedented level, and it flashed forward like an arrow leaving the bow.
Bang … …
A violent collision sound rang out in the air, and the air in the battlefield surged violently for a moment. The Earth's Core experts watching from afar could feel a strong gust of air rushing towards them, and the Fireelectric Rat King in the air froze in mid-air in a strange position, its body twitching violently as it fell downwards.
The hypnosis caused it to lose its composure, and the God Vanquishing Guide caused it to choose a fixed direction to escape in. When the Fireelectric Rat King's speed suddenly increased to the limit, what awaited it was the invisible God Vanquishing Wall.
The God Vanquishing Wall wasn't very sturdy, and was at most like a wall. However, when the Fireelectric Rat King crashed into it, it was like a plane crashing into a small bird at high speed. At this time, the Fireelectric Rat King was completely stunned. Even though its level 10 body hadn't suffered any fatal injuries, it was still confused.
Calmly flapping its wings, the Flying Serpent Flash once again activated. Ji Dong easily grabbed the Fireelectric Rat King's neck after it fell five meters, and his calm yet proud soul ripples once again spread across the battlefield. "I said before, I'm your nemesis." Of course, he wouldn't tell the Earth's Core experts how he had done it, but he had indeed done it. The Fireelectric Rat King only managed to struggle a few times before falling into Ji Dong's hands.
The Fireelectric Rat King's beady eyes were still in a daze as Ji Dong landed on the ground. It hadn't yet recovered from the impact. Ji Dong raised his left hand and flicked its head, injecting a wave of soul force into it. Only then did the Fireelectric Rat King calm down. Even so, the Fireelectric Rat King felt as if its body had been crushed by an enormous fire demon. There wasn't a single part of its body that wasn't in pain.
Ji Dong lightly waved his right hand, and flung it ten meters away.
"You lost." Leaving behind these three simple words, he continued to walk unhurriedly back to where he stood before.
If the entire process of the battle had to be described, then the phrase 'eagle catching a chick' was the most suitable. Other than the three Grand Supreme Elders of the Flaming Bar Holy Church who could barely see some clues, the other Earth's Core experts simply did not understand what had happened, nor did they understand how Ji Dong had managed to capture the Fireelectric Rat King.
To win the battle and not reveal too much of his abilities, this battle was undoubtedly perfect for Ji Dong. From the beginning to the end, he did not release a single decent attack. He only used his magic to control the Fireelectric Rat King's body at the end, causing it to be unable to resist. To be able to defeat an opponent of the level of the Fireelectric Rat King in front of everyone's eyes, and to be able to conceal his own abilities so well, there was no doubt that he could not have done any better. The way the experts of the Earth's Core Realm looked at Ji Dong had completely changed, faintly seeing him as a powerful existence on the same level as the representatives of the three great races.
The Fire Spirit King and the Fire Demon King's gazes fell on Ji Dong at almost the same time. Previously, when Ji Dong's Soul Power suddenly erupted, it caused them to be somewhat afraid. The words' Mental Demon Domain 'had already appeared in the minds of the two great experts at the same time.
The selection continued, and the remaining few matches were not exciting. The stronger side obtained the final victory, and the loser was eliminated. Out of the 52 participants, only 26 were left. In the first round of the competition, all three representatives of the Fire Spirit Race had advanced, and only Hong Yan from the Fire Lotus Race had passed. Of the ten people from the Fire Demon Race, one was eliminated, and nine people advanced. Just the three great clans and Ji Dong's group alone occupied 16 spots. As for the remaining ten Earth's Core experts, all of them were powerful existences that were ranked highly among the core elders. Those who were able to come here were not weak, and the further they went, the more intense the battles would be.
"The first round of selection has ended. Prepare to draw lots for the second round." The Fire Spirit King's faint voice spread out. There were not so many formalities in the core world, and there was no time for rest in the selection. With each round, there would only be less and less time for rest.
With the experience of drawing lots in the first round, the 26 experts who had won the first round went forward at the same time after hearing the Fire Spirit King's words, trying their best to occupy a good spot. At this moment, the Fire Demon Race, which had a large number of participants, showed their advantage. With their huge bodies, they tried their best to spread out and try to block the others. The largest fire demon was already eager to try, and its gaze was fixed on Hong Yan. Even though Ji Dong's group performed well, it was obvious that the strongest fire demon had already decided that Hong Yan from the Fire Lotus Race would be his final opponent.
Facing the serious preparation of the participants, the Fire Spirit King was not anxious at all. He said leisurely, "I've said that the format of drawing lots for each round is different. Why are you so close to the front? On the ground in front of the suspension bridge of my Fire Spirit Race's castle, I've already used my soul to inform my clansmen to prepare 26 crystals. You can go and take them back now. When you come back, you can draw lots to decide your own positions. "
As soon as the Fire Spirit King's voice fell, all the participants flew out at the same time, except for Fury. The Fire Demon Race was the most depressed. Previously, in order to occupy an advantageous position, they were all in the innermost circle, so their speed was naturally not fast. Furthermore, they were huge, and speed wasn't their forte. In an instant, the nine fire demons fell behind.
The Fire Spirit King looked at Fury, who was standing there motionless, and frowned. "Why aren't you going?"
Fury chuckled. "I'm slow, and I can't outrun them anyway. The last crystal is mine. My partner will bring it back for me."
Although Fury's demonic power was almost exhausted, the scene of him killing the three-headed Cerberus on the battlefield left a deep impression on everyone. Even the three Supreme Elders weren't completely confident that they could withstand the Prison of Thunder Demon Destruction. The black hole with lightning made everyone tremble from the depths of their souls.
Fury simply sat down leisurely, still holding his Hell's Thunder Divine Axe in his hand. Although there was no thunder element here, the Hell's Thunder Divine Axe was born from the Myriad Lightning Calamity Realm, and was itself an extreme condensation of thunder element. Therefore, it could more or less serve as a supplement for Fury. He had never thought of participating in the next battle. Fury was already very satisfied with himself to be able to defeat Cerberus, an expert whose cultivation was in no way weaker than the Heavenly Stem Divine Beast. One must know that this was the Earth's Core World, and there was no thunder element to supplement him.
The first to arrive in front of the Fire Spirit Race's castle wasn't Ji Dong. If the previous Fireelectric Rat King could arrive at this stage, it would undoubtedly be the first to take the lead. Unfortunately, it lost. At this moment, there were two people who arrived in front of the Fire Spirit Race's castle. One was Hong Yan, and the other was Ah Jin.
If she was in human form, Ah Jin's speed naturally wouldn't be comparable to Ji Dong's. However, don't forget that the Dragon Race was born with the ability to fly. Furthermore, she had awakened the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline. Relying on her powerful flying ability, the Winged Serpent Transformation technique that she learned from Ji Dong, and the Soaring Matrix that Ji Dong used his soul power to assist her. She actually rushed to the front with Hong Yan.
The 26 Crystal Rocks were right in front of him. At this moment, Ji Dong's soul power was raised to the maximum without reservation. He was around five meters behind Ah Jin and Hong Yan, and could be considered to be in the second tier. However, he was very clear that if he wanted to control the fate of the competition, then only the person who obtained the Crystal Rocks first could do so.
Ah Jin did not fight with Hong Yan. With a casual swipe of his hand, he had already scooped up three pieces of crystal rock. On the other side, Hong Yan had also chosen a piece. When she turned around and leapt back, Ah Jin, who was running side by side with her, suddenly felt that Hong Yan's gaze seemed to have communicated with Ji Dong.
The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples didn't know that Ji Dong had reached an agreement with the Fire Lotus Tribe. Ji Dong didn't say anything because he was afraid that his companions would think that he was ignoring the bigger picture because of his relationship with the Flaming Bar. Furthermore, it was better for this kind of alliance to be known by as few people as possible. Once his companions found out about the situation, they might reveal something on their faces and expose themselves. Naturally, he didn't want this to happen.
Very soon, the powerful practitioners who had obtained the Crystal Rocks returned to the entrance of the fifteenth level. Ah Jin distributed the three Crystal Rocks she had obtained to Ji Dong and Fury. The three of them stood together.
Although the tallest Fire Demon among the Fire Demon Tribe's representatives had his Twin Flames covering his body and his appearance couldn't be seen, judging from his aura, he was very dissatisfied with this round of drawing lots.
In fact, the Crystal Rocks in the hands of every powerful practitioner looked exactly the same. On the surface, there was no difference at all. Only by using one's soul to investigate carefully would one be able to discover the subtle differences within. When they were fighting for the Crystal Rocks, it happened in the blink of an eye. In such a short period of time, how many people could have the time to investigate and make a judgment? After all, not only did they have to determine their own position, but they also had to determine their opponents. In the end, most people could only rely on luck.
"Inject your mana into the Crystal Rock, and it will naturally show up," the Fire Spirit King instructed.
Everyone injected their mana into the Crystal Rock. Instantly, 13 rays of golden light and 13 rays of black light were projected from the Crystal Rock at almost the same time. Every ray of light projected into the air was a number from 1 to 13. The situation of the second round had already appeared.
Ji Dong and Fury got Number 1 at the same time, the golden Number 1 and the black Number 1.
Ah Jin got Number 3, and her opponent would be a Fire Demon Lord, while Hong Yan got Number 7, and her opponent would also be a Fire Demon Lord.
Seeing such a matchup, the Fire Spirit King's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Ji Dong meaningfully. The Fire Demon King's aura obviously became heavier before returning to normal.
There was no doubt that this was the best matchup for Ji Dong and the rest.
Not only Ji Dong, but even Ajin and Hong Yan were the same. All twenty-six people who had entered the second round were experts among experts. In terms of strength, the core elders who had entered the second round weren't any weaker than ordinary Fire Demon Overlords. Furthermore, they all had different abilities. Choosing a Fire Demon Overlord would be easier to deal with. After all, the abilities of the Fire Demon Race were the abilities that Ji Dong had inherited from the two Sovereigns. Ajin was naturally more familiar with them. As for Hong Yan, he was even more familiar with them than Ajin.
It was not too difficult to choose Number 1 for himself and Fury at the same time. After all, as long as they could see through the mystery of the crystal rock, and Ah Jin was the first to get it, it could be done. However, it was extremely difficult to choose opponents for Ah Jin and Hong Yan respectively. At that moment, not only did Ji Dong have to let them choose their own crystal rock, but he also had to judge who would get the corresponding crystal rock. This judgment could only be completed in a very short period of time, and he had to have an extremely accurate judgment of each opponent's position.
The change in the Fire Spirit King's gaze was naturally only because of Ah Jin. Of course, he did not know that even Hong Yan's lot was actually told to her by Ji Dong through the soul connection.
"The first match of the second round begins." The Fire Spirit King continued to announce.
Fury cheerfully raised the crystal rock in his hand and looked at Ji Dong with a mischievous smile, "I admit defeat." After saying that, he threw the crystal rock away and walked back to where the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples were. Ji Dong won the second round without a fight and directly entered the top 13.
It was obvious that this was intentional. However, what made Ji Dong secretly awe was that the same situation happened in the second round. The especially tall fire demon's opponent was also his clansman, and his opponent also admitted defeat and passed. Obviously, the Fire Demon Clan also knew that it was impossible for all of them to advance in this round. Since that was the case, they would let the clansman with the most hope save as much energy as possible to deal with the following matches.
Therefore, the first battle of the second round was between Ah Jin, who got Number 3, and his opponent, a Fire Demon Overlord.
Although they were both overlords, the cultivation of the Fire Demon Overlord and the Fire Owl Overlord was worlds apart. The Fire Demon Overlord that Ah Jin drew was emitting intense golden flames that constantly came into contact with the fire elements in the air, causing the glaring Extreme Yang Fire to form a scorching protective layer around its body. This Fire Demon Overlord was eight meters tall. As long as one was within a hundred meters of its body, one could feel the already scorching air become even hotter, and the water-like ripples made everything look unreal.
