When they were in Three Mountain City, Ji Tianxing had used his absolute strength to defeat his opponent in a second.
That was to establish his prestige, to clear Su Juechen's name and to wash away the humiliation!
But it was different now.
In Shang Qing Temple's headquarters, under the watchful eyes of several Palace Masters, he could not be high-profile and eye-catching.
He displayed the strength of an Eighth Level Divine King and defeated his opponent in a conventional manner. Everything was so logical and would not arouse anyone's suspicions.
Fourth Palace Master, Fifth Palace Master, and the six Elders did not pay much attention to him. This was the best proof.
After he defeated his opponent and left the square, the next pair of Divine Kings quickly went up and started the battle.
Things seemed uneventful and there were no surprises.
Most people did not even remember the name 'Su Juechen'.
Only the Deputy Hall Master and the four Elders of Three Mountain Hall frowned secretly, feeling that something was not right.
They did not raise their doubts to Ji Tianxing immediately, but secretly transmitted their voices to discuss.
"What's going on with Su Juechen?"
"His performance just now was really mediocre. There was no highlight at all!"
"With his strength, he should be able to defeat a Seventh Stage Divine King in a second!"
"Previously in Three Mountain City, he defeated his opponent in a single move. Even when he was surrounded by five Divine Kings, he also finished them off in two moves."
"His performance was so dazzling in Three Mountain City, why is he so ordinary today?
Could it be that he's scared? Afraid to show off in public? "
"Or maybe his nature is too stable, so he's probing the situation first to conserve his strength.
After all, the best show is yet to come. "
One of the Elders raised this conjecture, which won the unanimous agreement of the crowd.
Everyone guessed that in the later matches, Su Juechen would go all out and display a brilliant performance.
When that time came, it would be the time for Su Juechen to win glory for Three Mountain City.
Hence, they stopped discussing this matter and continued to watch the matches silently.
…
The first round of the tournament lasted for ten days before it ended.
The seven thousand four hundred elite Divine Kings were divided into three thousand seven hundred pairs and went up to compete one by one.
In the end, after the first round of the competition ended, half of the elite Godkings were eliminated.
The feelings of the three thousand seven hundred Godkings were the most mixed. They felt both pity and shame.
It was not easy for them to fight their way out of the various halls. They came to the Shang Qing Temple full of confidence and expectation.
In the end, they were eliminated in the first round.
They had become foils for the others. They could only watch as the three thousand seven hundred Godkings continued to compete for the top three thousand spots.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred were practically written all over their faces.
After the end of the first round, the Temple Elders announced that everyone would rest for a day.
Especially the three thousand seven hundred victorious Godkings. They did not dare to waste any time as they hurriedly circulated their techniques to recover their divine power.
Everyone present was an elite. Their self-discipline and quality were very high.
During the rest of the day, the square was very quiet.
More than seven thousand people remained silent. Most of them were meditating.
Even if a lot of people wanted to discuss something, they would do it secretly through voice transmissions and would not make a sound.
The Fourth Palace Master, the Fifth Palace Master and the six Temple Elders were also sitting in the sky above the square with their eyes closed.
Since they had nothing to do, the two Palace Masters and the six Elders would secretly observe the three thousand seven hundred victorious Godkings.
They were silently distinguishing and guessing which seven hundred Godkings would be eliminated in the end.
These three thousand seven hundred Godkings were all Upper Level Godkings. Most of them were in the Seventh and Eighth Realm while the least were in the Ninth Realm.
As for those Sixth Realm Godkings, without exception, they were all defeated in the first round of the competition.
While the two Hall Masters and the six Elders were observing, they paid more attention to the Lv 7 and Lv 9 Divine King Realm experts.
There was no doubt that the Ninth Realm Godkings would be promoted.
There was basically no problem for the Eighth Realm Godkings.
The seven hundred people who were eliminated in the end were still concentrated among the Seventh Realm Godkings.
In this way, Ji Tianxing became an unknown and inconspicuous batch again. He did not receive the attention of the two Palace Masters and the few Elders.
Unknowingly, a day had passed.
When a new day arrived, the second round of the competition officially began.
The rules were still the same. The few Elders would draw lots and the three thousand seven hundred Godkings would be matched against each other.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
The two Elders waved their hands and struck out three thousand seven hundred jade slips which turned into divine light which interweaved and mixed high up in the sky.
After a moment, the four Elders took out one pair of jade slips after another and announced the names in the jade slips on the spot.
The drawing of lots was random and it led to the results sometimes not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Most of the Godkings' opponents were from other divisions.
But there were some Godkings who were more unlucky and drew their own compatriots from their own divisions as their opponents.
Usually when this kind of result was drawn, the division's Deputy Hall Masters and Elders would have a pained expression on their faces.
Eight hours later, the results of the drawing of lots were all announced.
One thousand eight hundred and fifty pairs of Godkings would also go up the stage to compete.
Ji Tianxing was ranked around one thousand and one hundred and he had to wait for a few more days before he could go up the stage.
Hence, he was the same as the rest of the Godkings. He did not pay attention to the competition situation in the public square but concentrated on meditating and regulating his breath.
"Bam bam bam!"
"Rumble!"
One pair of Godking powerhouses after another fought in the public square until divine light burst forth. Loud booms shook the heavens.
And around the public square, over three thousand Godkings were focused on meditating and regulating their breath, working hard to adjust to their optimal states.
After the first day of the competition ended, close to six hundred Godkings went through the competition and competition. Three hundred Godkings successfully advanced.
On the second day of the competition, over six hundred Godkings went up the stage to compete again. Half of them advanced, and the other half were eliminated.
But any Godking who won the second round of the competition and successfully advanced could all be ranked in the top one thousand eight hundred and fifty.
Which was also to say that the Godkings who won this round of competition already successfully entered the top three thousand and obtained victory!
And those Godkings who were defeated still had to go through a few more rounds of competition to vie for the remaining one thousand one hundred and fifty spots.
This way, the Godkings who won the second round of the grand competition all revealed victorious smiles. They were greatly relieved in their hearts and no longer had any worries or apprehensions.
As for the Godkings who had been defeated, their expressions were stern as their hearts tightened.
The atmosphere around the public square started to become heavy and solemn.
On the evening of the third day, it was finally Ji Tianxing's turn to go up the stage.
His opponent was also a Desolate race middle-aged man at the eighth level of the Divine King realm. He came from an unfamiliar branch hall.
When the two of them entered the public square, most people lacked interest and did not pay attention to them.
Only the Three Mountain Hall's Elders and Deputy Hall Masters would pay attention to Ji Tianxing's performance.
In their minds, this battle was the key to whether or not Su Juechen could enter the top three thousand.
If the battle was exciting enough, it would be a good opportunity for him to become famous in front of everyone.
They were looking forward to it. They believed that Su Juechen would definitely shine!
