The spinning pieces of paper would occasionally reveal the numbers on them.
Seeing that the pieces of paper were getting closer and closer, the five Peak Masters, including Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of Five Element Sect and the Peak Master of Gold Peak, made their moves at the same time.
Whoosh!
As Guo Chong raised his hand, a gush of invisible energy rose up into the sky and swept toward the ten pieces of paper. It was so fierce that it set off a series of ear-piercing explosions in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Qi Yu, the Peak Master of Wood Peak, Cha Bai, Yu Fang, and Tian Gu, the Peak Master of Earth Peak, made their moves almost at the same time.
However, their speed was not as fast as Guo Chong's.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Very soon, two of the pieces of paper seemed to be pulled by two invisible forces and instantly transformed into two bolts of lightning that shot toward Guo Chong at lightning speed. Guo Chong grabbed them casually.
Just like that, he obtained the two pieces of paper from Gold Peak.
"Number 1, Number 10."
Duan Lingtian's eyes were sharp. When the two pieces of paper were pulled toward Guo Chong, he had already seen the numbers on them.
He knew that these were the numbers that Guo Chong had chosen.
He must have chosen these two numbers to benefit Gold Peak.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The second person to obtain two pieces of paper was Qi Yu, the Peak Master of Wood Peak. He was widely acknowledged as the second strongest person in Five Element Sect by most of the people.
The two pieces of paper he obtained were Number 5 and Number 6.
It was obvious that he had deliberately chosen them.
As for the other three Peak Masters, they were evenly matched. In the end, they completely messed up the remaining six pieces of paper and randomly picked two of them.
"Take this."
Qi Yu passed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu. Duan Lingtian obtained Number 5 while Huang Daniu obtained Number 6.
"What's the use of this?"
Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu looked at each other with a puzzled expression on their faces.
"The individual battles of the Battle of the Five Peaks will start from the beginning and end of the battle. For example, Number 1 and Number 10 will fight the first battle while Number 2 and Number 9 will fight the second battle."
Chen Wei explained, "So on and so forth … Number 5 and Number 6 will fight the fifth battle! This is the first round. "
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding. "In this way, Daniu and I will go against each other in the first round … After that, we who represent the Wood Peak can discuss who will advance first?"
"That's it."
Chen Wei nodded.
"No wonder Sect Master took Number 1 and Number 10. He had the same idea."
Duan Lingtian finally understood.
Soon, the Battle of the Five Peaks began.
The first battle.
Number 1 versus Number 10.
Gold Peak, number 1 Nangong Chen, number 10 Nangong Yi.
No. 10 Nangong Yi advanced to the next round.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. He did not expect that it would be Nangong Yi who advanced. "Logically speaking, since Nangong Chen knows that I can use Spiritual Energy to construct an illusory realm and the level of my Spiritual Energy, then he should know that Nangong Yi is not a match for me … But why did he still let Nangong Yi advance?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled by this.
Soon after, he came to a sudden realization after hearing Chen Wei's explanation.
"In the individual battles of the Battle of the Five Peaks, the people who were eliminated earlier can issue a challenge to anyone other than the person who admitted defeat or lost to them."
This was Chen Wei's original words.
This continued until the specific ranking of the individual battles was decided.
Therefore, Nangong Yi's advancement did not mean that Nangong Chen did not have the chance to compete for the top rankings. Instead, he would become the last person to help Gold Peak ascend to the top at the critical moment!
"As for the two of you, I also suggest that we let Daniu advance first … Duan Lingtian, you should recuperate for now. Unless the other eight people from the other four Peaks are no match for Daniu, then Daniu can win the first place! Otherwise, you still have a chance to surpass Daniu's ranking. "
Chen Wei continued.
"Hmm."
Duan Lingtian nodded. As for Daniu, there was no problem.
He admitted that he was not a match for Duan Lingtian, so he might as well let Duan Lingtian rest while he fought first.
In any case, in the end, the person who fought for the top rankings of the individual battles for Wood Peak would be Duan Lingtian.
After No. 10 Nangong Yi advanced, No. 2 would fight No. 9.
No. 2, another female disciple of Water Peak.
No. 9, Hu Fei of Fire Peak.
Facing Hu Fei, the female disciple of Water Peak was very self-aware and directly admitted defeat. No. 9 Hu Fei advanced.
The Battle of the Five Peaks continued.
No. 3 would fight No. 8.
No. 3, Tian Zhen of Earth Peak.
No. 8, another male disciple of Earth Peak.
Tian Zhen admitted defeat. Just like Nangong Chen, he would recuperate and wait for the results to be out before initiating a challenge to get a good ranking for Earth Peak.
No. 8, another male disciple of Earth Peak advanced.
No. 4 would fight No. 7.
No. 4, another male disciple of Fire Peak.
No. 7, Tan Huan of Water Peak.
No. 7, Tan Huan advanced.
Then, it was No. 5 and No. 6, Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu's turn. Duan Lingtian admitted defeat while Huang Daniu advanced.
The results of the first round were out just like that.
Coincidentally, the ones who admitted defeat in the first round were No. 1 to No. 5.
No. 6 to No. 10 had all advanced.
They were respectively:
Huang Daniu, Tan Huan, another male disciple of Earth Peak, Hu Fei, and Nangong Yi.
They continued to fight head to tail.
In the first round, Huang Daniu was up against Nangong Yi. Both of them stood in the air, facing each other.
"Daniu, this Nangong Yi has already broken through to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation. Even if you admit defeat in this round, nobody will laugh at you."
This was what Chen Wei told Huang Daniu before he entered the arena.
However, Huang Daniu still entered the arena without any hesitation.
According to him, it was a Seventh Level Void Interpretation.
It was rare for him to have a fight with a Seventh Level Void Interpretation martial artist. Moreover, there was no danger to his life, so he did not want to miss it.
"This Huang Daniu actually dares to fight with Senior Brother Yi! He must be tired of living!"
"Senior Brother Yi is a Seventh Level Void Interpretation powerhouse … I heard that this Huang Daniu is only a Fifth Level Void Interpretation martial artist. I really don't know where he got his courage from to fight with Senior Brother Yi. "
"Senior Martial Brother Yi will be able to defeat him easily in one move!"
…
The group of Five Element Sect's disciples who were watching by the side discussed animatedly. Nobody thought that Huang Daniu would be a match for Nangong Yi.
"I heard that you're one of the two strongest people among the younger generation in the Five Element Sect. Your cultivation base has already broken through to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation … I wonder if you dare to fight with me there?"
Huang Daniu ignored the discussion around him. He looked at Nangong Yi seriously and pointed his finger at the cliff beside the Gold Peak.
Upon hearing Huang Daniu's words, Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You've comprehended the Earth Concept?"
It was obvious that he had guessed Huang Daniu's intention. He wanted to borrow the Earth Energy from the Earth Concept to fight with him.
"Yes. Of course, you can reject it. "
Huang Daniu said, "However, even if you reject it, I'll still fight with you … Even if I know that I'll lose!"
At this moment, the group of Five Element Sect's disciples who were watching by the side quieted down.
It was obvious that they wanted to know if Nangong Yi would agree to Huang Daniu's ridiculous request.
"Why should I reject it?"
Nangong Yi smiled and answered Huang Daniu.
"As expected of Senior Brother Yi! He knows that the other party has comprehended the Earth Concept. As long as he's close to the ground, he'll be able to borrow the Earth Energy … However, he still agreed to his unreasonable request! "
"This is courage! Ordinary people might not even have it. "
"Of course! Do you think that everyone is like Senior Brother Yi? "
"Senior Brother Yi, go for it! I believe that even if he borrows the Earth Energy, he's still not a match for you! "
"Senior Brother Yi, make Huang Daniu accept his defeat wholeheartedly!"
…
The group of Five Element Sect's disciples shouted excitedly. They were full of confidence in Nangong Yi.
Whoosh!
Huang Daniu flew out and arrived at the side of the Gold Peak's cliff in just a moment. He slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh as if he was sensing something.
In just a moment, strands of solidified khaki energy appeared on Huang Daniu's body and began to roll as if it was resonating with the Earth.
At this moment, Nangong Yi appeared in front of Huang Daniu. He could not help but feel surprised when he saw the energy rolling around Huang Daniu's body.
"Looks like I've still underestimated you."
Nangong Yi muttered to himself.
Whoosh!
Unknowingly, the solidified khaki energy around Huang Daniu's body seemed to have completed a brand new transformation as it emitted a terrifying aura.
In the next moment, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon began to form above Huang Daniu's head.
Silhouettes of ancient horned dragons appeared out of thin air one after another. They were majestic and their numbers continued to increase as if there was no end to it.
Fifty.
Seventy.
One hundred.
…
It was still increasing. Gradually, the increase slowed down and finally stopped there.
One hundred and eighty-five silhouettes of ancient horned dragons hovered above Huang Daniu's head. One hundred and eighty-five pairs of sharp eyes looked down at Nangong Yi as though they would pounce on him at any moment.
"How's this possible?!"
"This Huang Daniu is actually so strong?"
…
The 185 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons in front of them gave the group of Five Element Sect's disciples a great shock.
Even Tan Huan from Water Peak and Tian Zhen from Earth Peak had dread written all over their faces.
"Sixth Level Void Interpretation, Sixth Level Intermediate Earth Concept, coupled with the Earth Energy that you borrowed from your Earth Concept … You're qualified to fight with me now."
Nangong Yi opened his mouth slowly and directly pointed out Huang Daniu's background.
The Sixth Level Void Interpretation had the strength of 80 ancient horned dragons when his Origin Energy was fully unleashed.
The Sixth Level Intermediate Earth Concept was equivalent to the strength of 70 ancient horned dragons.
The Earth Energy borrowed from this level of Earth Concept was equivalent to the strength of 35 ancient horned dragons. It was also half of the energy contained in the Earth Concept.
In total, it was equivalent to the strength of 185 ancient horned dragons!
"I'm looking forward to the battle with you."
Huang Daniu took a deep breath and stared at Nangong Yi with a burning gaze. "Putting everything else aside, I, Huang Daniu, admire you for your courage to let me borrow the Earth Energy from my Earth Concept to fight with you!"
"Haha … Interesting, interesting!"
Faced with the straightforward Huang Daniu, Nangong Yi had a good impression of him. He laughed out loud as the Origin Energy on his body stirred and transformed into waves of blue waves that swept across his entire body.
