"Number thirty."
After a long time, the three Zun cultivators dared say something again. The atmosphere between Lin Feng and Garuda had calmed down a lot, so the battles could continue.
"I, I give up."
As soon as the three Venerables finished their words, a weak voice resounded from below the high platform. It was a genius from an empire. He had already obtained a victory, and he only needed to win another round to continue the battle. But after witnessing Garuda's performance, he was left with fear in his heart.
Indeed, he had challenged Garuda. Provoking Garuda at that moment was suicidal, so he had no choice but to give up.
That way, Garuda was able to advance to the next round.
The following battles were boring. Xuan Mei 'er from the Ancient Mysterious Clan fought two battles in a row and won both of them. The rest of the geniuses from the empires had more or less lost one battle.
The first stage of the elimination round officially came to an end when number 34's battle ended.
More than ten people had lost two battles in a row, and all of them were geniuses from the empires. The emperors of the empires all pulled a long face, but they couldn't do anything about it. The geniuses from the clans were too strong.
Those who had lost two matches were naturally ranked last, so they were the first to be eliminated. Then, the elites who had only won one match were also eliminated. Jing Wuhen was one of them.
Many people felt it was a pity that Jing Wuhen had been eliminated. After all, she had ranked third in the last competition, and she hadn't even made it to the top twelve.
The Gui Prince and the Demonic Prince had also made it to the next round. Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to them, because he was thinking about the Evil Palace.
"The first stage of the elimination round has ended. Next up will be the competition for the top twelve. The remaining twenty-four people will fight against each other, and the victors will advance to the top twelve, while the losers will be eliminated."
"That's all for today. Tomorrow at noon, we'll continue the second stage of the elimination round. Everybody, please go back."
The three venerables continued to announce the rules of the competition until the last sentence was said. The spectators below the platform could only leave with an unsatisfied attitude. The people who were standing in the void high up in the sky also left gloomily.
This was different from the previous tournaments. In the past, the Empire Tournament only took one day to end the battles and determine the champion. However, this tournament was too troublesome.
Everyone slowly left, including the eliminated contestants. Each and every one of them had a look of unwillingness and regret as they left the high platform.
Lin Feng also wanted to leave, but at that moment, Jing Wuhen appeared in front of him. Lin Feng raised his head and looked at her.
Jing Wuhen and Jiang Xuan were fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Even though Lin Feng was wearing a cloak, he couldn't hide his face.
I'm really happy that you're back on your feet. Said Jing Wuhen while staring at Lin Feng. She smiled and whispered in a low voice.
"Let's leave this place first." Said Lin Feng in a low voice. Then, Jing Wuhen and Jiang Xuan left the high platform and gradually left the Imperial City.
Many people saw Lin Feng and Jing Wuhen leave together. They were wondering if there was something between them. Otherwise, why would Lin Feng dare offend Garuda and humiliate him?
Garuda was staring at Lin Feng's back in a gloomy way. His face was filled with murder and he had an evil smile on his face. People couldn't understand what he was thinking.
It was almost evening. Lin Feng found another hotel, but this time, Jing Wuhen and Jiang Xuan didn't stay with him.
Lin Feng took off his cloak and revealed his face. Jing Wuhen smiled at Lin Feng. Jiang Xuan immediately jumped into Lin Feng's arms and started crying. He already knew that his home, Lang Ye City, had been taken over by the Thunder Group.
Even though he had run away from home because he was angry, if his family was really in danger, Jiang Xuan would be extremely worried. After all, blood was thicker than water. No matter how much he complained, he was still a member of the Jiang Clan.
"Teacher, mom, dad, they're all under house arrest." Jiang Xuan's face was covered with tears. He was looking at Lin Feng with hope in his eyes. He really hoped that his teacher could save everyone in Lang Ye City.
Lin Feng sighed and patted Jiang Xuan's back. But he could only smile wryly. Ancient sects couldn't be destroyed so easily. Lin Feng couldn't even deal with the Ancient Evil Clan, let alone the Thunder Group. He had even made the evil grave give his body to the Evil Palace.
Lin Feng was furious. He couldn't deal with the Ancient Evil Clan, so how could he save the people of Lang Ye City from the Thunder Group? That was unrealistic.
Lin Feng didn't know what to do. As long as Jiang Xuan's requests were reasonable, Lin Feng could satisfy them, but he really couldn't.
At least, Lin Feng didn't have the strength to fight against the Thunder Group, let alone save people from the Thunder Group.
Jiang Xuan knew that his teacher couldn't do that. He just wanted to vent his emotions. After all, Lin Feng was the strongest cultivator he knew.
The atmosphere became oppressive again. Lin Feng and Jing Wuhen waited until Jiang Xuan stopped crying before they started talking again.
"Lin Feng, how did you recover your strength?" Jing Wuhen was astonished. He hadn't thought that Lin Feng would be able to recover his strength on his own. He had broken through to the first Godly Emperor Layer and was even stronger than before.
But he couldn't see what Lin Feng's cultivation level was.
Lin Feng knew that Jing Wuhen wanted to ask him how he could recover his strength and become even stronger than before, but he didn't know how to explain it. Talk about his spirit? Unfortunately, people in Godly Countries didn't practice spirit cultivation. Even in Godly Continent, people didn't practice spirit cultivation either.
Therefore, when Lin Feng told Jing Wuhen about his spirit world, his spirit space might not understand. Even though Lin Feng trusted Jing Wuhen, it was his family's life in there, so he didn't want to talk about it.
"Wuhen, it's my secret. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is for me and my family, so …" Said Lin Feng while frowning. He sounded solemn and serious.
Jing Wuhen laughed and waved his hand, "Alright, I won't ask anymore. As long as you can recover, that's enough."
"Thank you for your support, brother." Lin Feng nodded. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
Jing Wuhen didn't say anything, but he wasn't unhappy that Lin Feng had kept his secret. After all, Lin Feng could have lied to him, but Lin Feng had told him the truth. He had a secret that he couldn't tell others.
Therefore, Jing Wuhen wasn't unhappy with Lin Feng. He just felt that it was a pity that he couldn't know Lin Feng's secret.
At the same time, he also had a trump card that he hadn't revealed, so both of them had a big secret that they hadn't told each other. Jing Wuhen wasn't prepared to reveal this trump card.
At the same time, the fewer people who knew about it, the safer he would be. The Ze Country and the Yuan Palace would be better off.
Time passed slowly. Lin Feng and Jiang Xuan spent the entire night talking. They talked for a long time. Lin Feng had the feeling that Jiang Xuan had grown up in one night. He had become more taciturn, but he had become more mature.
The next morning, Lin Feng and Jiang Xuan left the hotel. Jing Wuhen had already left for the Imperial City. Even though Jing Wuhen had been eliminated, Lin Feng hadn't.
When Lin Feng and Jiang Xuan arrived at the top of the Imperial City's stage, it was already noon.
Below the platform and high up in the sky, there were still people piling up everywhere. It was a dense mass of human heads, at least a million people.
Lin Feng used his godly awareness to find Jing Wuhen. He gave Jiang Xuan to Jing Wuhen and then walked up to the stage.
Lin Feng was still wearing a cape and a blue robe. He didn't look any different from the day before.
When the crowd saw Lin Feng walk up to the stage, they became excited. Many people were talking about whether or not Lin Feng would be able to finish in the top twelve. They were wondering how far he would go.
At the same time as Lin Feng walked up to the stage, another man in black clothes arrived. Lin Feng glanced at him and the man looked back at him.
"After defeating the Evil Palace, Garuda and Gu Tian Ao, I will defeat you, Zhu Xie!"
Shouted the man in the black cloak in an extremely evil tone. Lin Feng couldn't help but frown.
The people mentioned by the other party were all geniuses of the various sects. Furthermore, they were all top-notch geniuses. To think that this black-cloaked man would actually have the intention to defeat all of them.
More importantly, he had also turned his gaze towards him. This was interesting.
Thought Lin Feng with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Alright, I'll wait and see." Said Lin Feng. Then, he walked past the man in black clothes. They didn't look at each other anymore.
The second stage of the competition was about to begin!
