CHAPTER 38
Top Three Deathmatch
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. When the head of the Gu Clan walked out of the Li Clan's campsite, the competition for the top three positions was about to begin. Immediately after, it was the battle for the first place!
"Li Yuanwu killed nine people on the same stage with a single sword strike. I'm afraid his strength is already comparable to the experts of the older generation. The first place is in the bag!"
"First place is undoubtedly Li Yuanwu, but what about the top three? In my opinion, Bai Ling from Blood Red City and Xu Chen from Xu Family have a 90% chance of winning! "
"What about the young master of the Long Family? He suppressed Wei Cang with the strength of the second level of the Spirit Martial Realm and became the biggest dark horse of this year's Great Competition of the Three Cities. It's not impossible for him to fight for the top three …"
"No matter how strong he is, he's only at the second level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. On the other hand, Bai Ling and Xu Chen are both famous people from the Great Competition of the Three Cities. Now, they're both at the third level of the Spiritual Martial Realm or even at the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm. The gap between their realms is difficult to make up for."
…
The competition hadn't even started yet, but the sound of discussion was already overwhelming. The ten young disciples standing on the first battle platform were the strongest cultivators under the age of 25 in the three big cities!
And they also won a lot of elixir resources for their families. Because of the strength shown in the Grand Competition of the Three Cities, it was enough for their families to recruit many guests in the Spirit Martial Realm.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Elder Zheng and the other two in the stands laughed. Elder Xu even stepped forward. With a wave of his right hand, a long sword with purple patterns appeared on the long table in front of him.
Following that, his right hand moved again and three golden recommendation letters appeared. On each of the letters, the words "Royal Academy" were written in flamboyant calligraphy!
"The Windy Chant Purple Vein Sword was refined by the empire's number one blacksmith, Qingyun Zi. It's a ninth grade spirit sword, and it's hard to get even with a hundred thousand gold!"
"The Royal Academy is the place where the Empire invests all of its resources to nurture the nobles of the Imperial Palace. There are countless experts and countless famous teachers. Before entering the five great sects, it is definitely the best place to cultivate. It will definitely bring endless benefits to one's future path of cultivation!"
Elder Xu's words made everyone's blood boil.
"Each of the ten of you will receive two hundred Spirit Charging Pills. Now, there are two paths in front of you …" Elder Xu paused for a moment before continuing, "The first is to fight for the top three positions and obtain the right to enter the Royal School's recommendation letter."
"The second is to give up, because the following battles will be different from the previous ones. According to the rules set by the empire this time, only one person can survive on the next battle stage. In other words, the battle for the top three will be fought to the death!"
Xu Lao's words caused the 12 families in the three cities to fall into chaos. The rewards for this Grand Competition of the Three Cities were unprecedentedly generous, but the rules were that they had to fight to the death!
Only Long Chen, who was below the stage, clearly knew that this was the Blue Dragon Empire's method. After this Grand Competition of the Three Cities, the situation of the various cities being divided would be gone forever. Every three cities would have an overlord clan, and the Empire would distribute the resources. The Grand Competition of the Three Cities would no longer exist.
"I choose to give up."
"I give up too."
"And me …"
"I give up too!"
After a long while, there were actually four people who chose to give up. These four people were the Fierce Tiger City's Liu Clan, the Cheng Clan, the Blood Red City's Zhou Clan, one of the two brothers from the Xu Clan, and one from the Blood Red City's Lian Clan.
The four of them didn't look good, but they knew that there was almost no chance for them to be in the top three. The strongest among them was only at the second level of the Ling Qi Layer.
"These four people know their own limits. Li Yuan Wu from the Li Clan will definitely be in the top three, and he may even become the champion. Bai Ling Er from the Bai Clan is also at the third level of the Ling Qi Layer. They basically have no chance of winning. As for the other disciple from the Xu Clan, his strength is comparable to Bai Ling Er's."
"Not only those three, the others are also old people who have participated in the previous Grand Competition of the Three Cities. Sun Wu from the Sun Clan is 25 years old and he was in the top ten last time. I'm afraid that his cultivation is at the peak of the third level of the Ling Qi Layer, or even the fourth level of the Ling Qi Layer. In the past two days, he defeated his opponents in one move."
"Yes, there is also Cheng Bao from the Fierce Tiger City. He is almost 25 years old and he was in the top ten last time. I'm afraid that his cultivation is not weaker than Sun Wu's."
…
In the blink of an eye, there were only six people left on the stage. Except for Li Yuan Wu and Long Chen who were slightly younger, the other four people were already 24 or 25 years old.
After a while, Xu Lao frowned and asked again, "Is there anyone else who wants to withdraw?"
While speaking, he looked at Long Chen. Long Chen had just defeated Wei Cang, who was at the second level of the Ling Qi Layer. Although it was shocking, after all, his cultivation was only at the second level of the Ling Qi Layer. However, the people on the stage were at least at the third level of the Ling Qi Layer.
Countless disciples under the stage seemed to have realized that Long Chen didn't have the slightest intention of giving up. They couldn't help but talk about it.
Even the four people who had just chosen to give up couldn't help but sneer at Long Chen. They were all at the second level of the Ling Qi Layer, but they knew that with their cultivation, it was impossible for them to be in the top three.
They secretly thought that Long Chen didn't know when to retreat. At this moment, if he didn't withdraw, he would definitely lose his life.
At this moment, even Long Tianxing couldn't help but stand up. He looked at Long Chen from afar and said worriedly, "Chen 'er, since you've already entered the top ten, the two hundred Spirit Charging Pills are enough. There's no need to continue fighting …"
Although Long Chen had exploded with unprecedented strength and even killed Long Haotian, who was at the fourth level of the Ling Qi Layer, Long Haotian's cultivation was almost completely dependent on pills. He had only reached the fourth level of the Ling Qi Layer after dozens of years. He couldn't be compared to the group of young people on the stage.
Especially now that there was Li Yuan Wu on the stage. He came from the imperial capital and was from the same sect as the eldest prince. If Long Chen encountered him, it would be difficult to determine whether he would live or die.
However, at this moment, Long Chen slowly shook his head and said to Xu Lao in a deep voice, "I choose to continue fighting for the top three. Please continue the competition!"
"Does this person really think that he is invincible after defeating Wei Cang? Now, anyone on the stage can easily crush him! "
"This Long Chen is too arrogant. Not to mention Li Yuan Wu, even the other four people have all reached the peak of the third level of the Ling Qi Layer. Their martial skills have all reached the great success stage. Even the older generation of the fourth level of the Ling Qi Layer is no match for them. He's just at the second level of the Ling Qi Layer, he's simply courting death!"
… …
After Long Chen's words, the crowd immediately went into an uproar. They only thought that he was too arrogant and didn't know when to retreat. He had failed to live up to Xu Lao's expectations.
Xu Lao shook his head and sighed. In the end, he said, "Since you insist, then life and death are up to fate."
"The six of you will draw lots to determine your opponents. There is only one rule for this battle, and that is that only one person can survive!" Following Xu Lao's order, he waved his right hand and a bamboo tube fell straight on the first stage.
Several people stepped forward and took a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube. Everyone looked deeply at Long Chen and even had a kind of look of anticipation.
Now that there were only six people left, it meant that as long as they won one battle, they would directly enter the top three.
And Long Chen was obviously the easiest opponent to defeat. As long as they drew him, it was equivalent to directly entering the top three.
