Preliminaries, No. 24 division.
This should be a division without any suspense. Just like the previous division where the seeded players such as Red Pipit, Rolla, and Sarandi were located, the favorite to advance in this round was the 4th place of the first group of the preliminaries, seeded player No. 1305, the reclusive powerhouse of the Shadow Empire, Radast.
When passing the Land of Courage, Radast only took 26 minutes, which was faster than the first general of the Bloody Empire, Gustav. It was said that this person had always been low-key, and his strength should have entered the peak stage of the Demon Overlord.
Radast looked at the 199 contestants around him faintly, and he was not in a hurry to make a move. He was a calculating person. Among these contestants, the magician of the early stage of the Demon Overlord, Gale, should be the strongest opponent. Although the magician was weak in close combat, he had many means that were impossible to guard against. Moreover, the next round after the preliminaries was a one-on-one elimination round. He must save every bit of strength and try to kill in one blow.
As Radast expected, the rest of the contestants did not join forces to attack him, but they fought each other. There were also a few who wanted to sneak attack in the chaos, but they were easily dealt with by Radast.
After Radast killed the attacker, he suddenly felt that Gale disappeared from his mental lock. He couldn't help but be taken aback. He thought that the opponent had launched some special magic. When he took a closer look, he was even more surprised. Gale, who was regarded as the biggest enemy, was hit in the head by a translucent onion. He was already unconscious.
Radast has some impression of this onion head. He is the third from the bottom in the preliminaries with an onion head. He is called Dodo. This kind of weakest should be dealt with first. I didn't expect him to defeat Gale!
This is definitely not luck, but a tiger pretending to be weak! Radast condensed a green light ball in his hand and shot it at the back of Dodo's head. This blow seemed ordinary, but it contained a powerful territory power. He almost used his full strength. He intended to kill the enemy in one fell swoop like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Unexpectedly, the translucent guy grabbed his face with both hands and twisted it. His entire facial features turned incredibly to the back of his head. There were 2 more hands on his body. He opened his mouth wide and went straight to the light ball.
The light ball containing a powerful destructive power rushed into the big mouth. It was actually like a snowball falling into the magma. It emitted a few white gas and disappeared without a trace.
What's going on? His attack, which was almost all of his strength, was eaten just like that? Dalast's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. In the blink of an eye, the onion appeared in the sky and turned into a sledgehammer, smashing down at lightning speed. Feeling the terrifying pressure, Dallast didn't dare to take it head-on. Just as he was about to run away, he found that he had been bound by a translucent tentacle, unable to move. The hammer, which had missed its target, turned into a huge mouth and bit towards him.
"Look at Master Dodo's ultimate move, devouring heaven and earth!"
Scared out of his wits, Dallast was about to crush his number plate and escape, but he was a step too late and was swallowed by the huge mouth at lightning speed.
This scene shocked the audience in front of the big screen, as well as the rest of the contestants in the 24th division.
After the enlarged Dodo swallowed Dallast, his body suddenly squirmed irregularly. Just when everyone thought that the peak stage of the Demon Overlord powerhouse, Dallast, was about to break out of his body to reverse the situation, Master Dodo's squirming stopped. The back of the onion head turned into 2 round … buttocks.
Immediately afterward, there was a loud noise. The people around all covered their noses. Dallast's body was ejected by some kind of strange gas. His body was covered with some kind of mucus that was suspected to be excrement. He flew for tens of meters before falling to the ground. Although he was not dead, he had completely lost consciousness.
The translucent Master Onion spat a few times with a disgusted face as if he was disgusted by the taste. At this time, the contestants in the 24th division were not just stunned, but they were scared to pee – The peak stage of the Demon Overlord powerhouse was eaten and then excreted!
In the next second, almost all the survivors crushed their number plates at the same time, turning into light and disappearing from the battlefield.
There was a big upset in the 24th division. Contestant 9780, Dodo advanced!
When Master Onion, who became famous in one battle, appeared in the resting area of the arena, he attracted the attention of many people. They were pointing and whispering. Meanwhile, Paglio, Lomont and others showed an expression of "I don't know this onion" at the same time. Dodo's "Devouring Heaven and Earth" (which was actually eating, drinking and defecating) was too awesome.
It was not only Master Dodo who had an upset. The black dragon chick, who was at the bottom of the screening round, also won easily, but the most amazing scene happened in the 65th division. Almost in the blink of an eye, everyone became statues wrapped in dark red crystals. A mysterious man in a dark red cloak slowly walked out. Wherever he passed, all the statues turned into powder and disappeared without a trace.
No. 17571, the Fallen, advanced to the next round.
One hundred and ninety-nine opponents, none survived.
Although casualties were inevitable in this kind of fighting match, the coldness and cruelty of this "Fallen" still made the audience shudder. Chen Rui felt that the attack was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After 3 days of preliminaries, more than 10,000 contestants who passed the screening round were only left with the last 63 to enter the semi-finals. The semi-finals used a single-elimination, one-on-one battle. The winner advanced to the next round, and the loser was eliminated.
The 63 contestants were divided into 2 halves. The winner of the last 2 halves would compete for the first place in this competition, which was the true number 1 of the Demon Realm.
After drawing lots, 31 people including Chen Rui, Rolla, Raizen, Lala Aria, Olypheus, and the mysterious Fallen were assigned to the upper half; while 32 powerhouses including Catherine, Paglio, Dodo, Lomont, and Red Pipit were assigned to the lower half.
After the upper and lower half were determined, the matchup list was determined by drawing lots again. Raizen, Catherine, Chen Rui, Lala Aria, and others were listed as seeded contestants, and the lots were drawn separately.
The overall standard of this year's Martial Arts Competition was extremely high. Those who were able to enter the semi-finals were all extraordinarily strong. In fact, there were quite a number of equally strong people who were eliminated in the preliminary round due to luck or problems with the grouping. It had to be said that luck was also a kind of strength.
The knockout match was a real duel. There was basically no possibility of cheating. One could only fight one match at a time. If one really encountered an unbeatable opponent, one could only accept one's fate.
After the drawing of lots, the matchup list was released. The exciting knockout match began. Chen Rui was lucky to draw a bye and directly advanced to the next round.
2 matches in the upper and lower half started at the same time in 4 venues.
The 2 matches in the upper half were: Olypheus versus Stiller. The "Fallen" versus Fender.
The 2 matches in the lower half were: Catherine versus Vanden. Barefoot versus Famar.
Catherine's opponent was her newly promoted third general of the Shadow Empire, Vanden. Vanden was one of the few powerhouses in the military. He had been suppressed by Broc previously. Now that Broc was dead, Catherine promoted him to be the third general. He held a large number of troops to guard Jergal Fortress, so he was naturally grateful, but unexpectedly, he faced his own monarch in the first round.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness." Vanden solemnly saluted Catherine as soon as he appeared.
Catherine smiled indifferently, "Vanden, let everyone see the true strength of the empire general that I trust."
"Yes!" Vanden's muscles swelled up, and his whole body burst out a powerful breath. He waved his hands, and countless meteor-like flames flew toward Catherine.
Before the flames got close to Catherine, they suddenly slowed down. In the blink of an eye, they had been eliminated by an invisible force. Catherine's voice sounded behind Vanden.
"Do your best. Don't let me down."
Fan Sideng's heart shuddered. His figure suddenly disappeared, and a golden puppet appeared in his place, rushing toward Catherine. Catherine kicked her feet and soared into the air. The golden puppet in front of her suddenly turned into Fan Sideng again, and a golden figure emerged from the ground where Catherine was originally at, pouncing on nothing.
Although this attack failed, Fan Sideng's tactical means and control of the golden puppet were indeed admirable. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Catherine, who was at ease, was just feeding the moves of this empire general. Anyway, the rules of the competition were to leave the battlefield, lose the ability to fight, or admit defeat. It was understandable that Her Majesty the Empress wanted to use this opportunity to train her general. Anyway, the back and forth, sparks flew, and the scene was very exciting.
The black dragon chick's side was equally exciting. Stiller was the top magician of the Fallen Angel Empire, the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. She had extremely rich actual combat experience. It was reasonable to say that even if the black dragon chick removed Satan's spiritual imprint and merged with the "Claw of the Royal Demon" given by the Dragon Emperor's father, it was not easy to defeat a senior peak stage of the Demon Overlord.
To be fair, after Stiller became Zola's nominal disciple, she had indeed made great progress. Unfortunately, she was a magician. When she encountered a black dragon who was born to restrain magic, she could only kneel directly. After all, not every magician was as bad * ss as the fairy Miss Long.
Stiller and the black dragon chick were also considered old acquaintances. After symbolically releasing all her magic in one breath, she happily admitted defeat. Those powerful spells looked colorful and gorgeous.
The black dragon chick who won smiled like a flower on her face. The registration fee for the competition was 1 black crystal coin (paid by the boss). She got 50 black crystal coins through the screening round, and another 1,000 black crystal coins through the preliminary round. Now that she won the first round and entered the next round, she could get 2,000 black crystal coins according to the reward rules. In other words, she had earned a net profit of 3,050 black crystal coins!
The battle between the black dragon chick and Stiller was not the first to end. Red Pipit and the mysterious "Fallen" were faster than her.
Famar was a speed-type trainer. His intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord strength was an existence that ordinary powerhouses had to look up to. Unfortunately, he encountered King Octopus whom even he had to look up to. Before he saw how the opponent attacked, he fell to the ground and completely lost his strength.
The "Fallen" was up against the top magician of the Shadow Empire, Fender.
This mysterious man in a dark red cloak just glanced at Fender, and Fender, who had the strength of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, shuddered. Then, as if he saw something terrifying, he actually stood on the ground, unable to move. He couldn't cast any magic or means.
Fender, who was shrouded in a terrifying breath, kept reminding himself to follow Her Majesty Empress's prior instructions to immediately crush the number plate and leave the battlefield when he realized he was no match. However, his body didn't listen to him. A strange feeling of rigidity spread quickly.
Immediately afterward, the body of the top magician of the Shadow Empire began to crystallize quickly, and he soon turned into a crystal statue. The Fallen waved his hand, and the pale red crystal statue suddenly burst apart.
The top magician of the Shadow Empire was annihilated before he could cast a spell!
Chen Rui, who had been paying attention to this battlefield, suddenly contracted his pupils. He finally remembered where he had seen this attack. The missing crystal dragon, Jacob!
