Lu Xiu was about to burst out laughing.
It felt so good.
In the past, he was just a small Elder in the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range. He was at the bottom of the hierarchy and was ridiculed.
However, the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range was weak and no one from the previous batch had become an Emperor Sky Divine Guard. This made him less and less valued.
He had also dreamed that the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range would produce a few peerless geniuses, whose names would shake the world and make him proud and elated.
However, he knew that it was just a dream and it was impossible.
Now, all of this had happened. How could he not be excited?
Those who had looked down on him in the past had come to befriend him.
"Lu Ming, Qiu Changkong, it's all thanks to you!"
Lu Xiu sighed and looked at the two youths in the fighting ring.
He was especially surprised by Lu Ming.
He vaguely knew that Qiu Changkong had a backer in the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace.
It was still acceptable that Lu Ming could achieve such results. However, Lu Ming was completely alone. He did not have any backing. He had relied on his own efforts to reach this stage. This was what he valued more.
Everyone was discussing, but most of them were talking about Lu Ming and Qiu Changkong.
"Cloud Emperor Mountain Range?"
On the fighting ring, some of the other geniuses looked at Lu Ming and Qiu Changkong, their eyes flashing with surprise.
Qiu Changkong's lips curled up and he did not hide the pride on his face.
Lu Ming smiled faintly and stood quietly by the side.
"Silence!"
The middle-aged Guardian spoke and the crowd quieted down.
"Now, I will announce the rules of the duel. The rules are simple. You will draw lots and fight one on one. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated until the strongest person is determined."
"During the battle, you are not allowed to take any elixirs or use any battle beasts. However, there is one rule and that is that you are not allowed to kill your opponent!"
The middle-aged Guardian announced.
"Not allowed to kill my opponent?"
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat and he felt that it was a pity.
If he encountered Qiu Changkong, he would have to escape with his life again.
"Hehe, Lu Ming, right? You are lucky!"
Zang Sheng chuckled.
"You're the lucky one!"
Lu Ming said.
"Really? Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because I can't kill you. I can still cripple you! "
Zangsheng said in a cold voice.
"Is that so?" Lu Ming sneered.
On the other side, Qiu Changkong sneered.
"Alright. Now, I have engraved sixteen numbers on these seventeen jade plates. They are respectively number one to number sixteen. There is one more jade plate that is not in use."
"All of you will draw lots respectively. The one who draws number 1 will fight against number 16, number 2 will fight against number 15, number 3 will fight against number 14, and so on. The one who draws an empty number will directly advance to the next round."
The middle-aged man said.
After saying that, he waved his hand, and seventeen jade tokens floated in the air, emitting a hazy light that covered the numbers on them.
"I'll go first!"
Zang Sheng smiled coldly and reached out with his hand. A powerful suction force appeared and grabbed the jade token in his hand.
Following that, the others followed suit and reached out their hands to grab a jade pendant.
Lu Ming also grabbed a jade token.
He held the jade token in his hand and injected his True Qi. A number appeared on the jade token.
No, it wasn't a number. It was a word: Empty.
Lu Ming was stunned. He didn't expect his luck to be so good. He actually drew an empty number in the first round.
"Alright, tell me the numbers you've drawn!"
The middle-aged man said.
"I'm number sixteen!"
Zang Sheng walked out first and flipped open his jade token. There was a number on it: Sixteen.
"I'm number three!"
Qiu Changkong walked out and flipped open his jade token. It was number three.
"I'm number five!"
"I'm number six!"
The youths flipped open their jade tokens one by one.
Soon, they flipped open their jade tokens from number one to number sixteen.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Ming.
Since he already had numbers from number one to sixteen, wouldn't the remaining jade tokens be empty?
Lu Ming smiled slightly and flipped open his jade token. The word 'empty' was written on it.
"As expected, he got an empty number. This kid's luck is really good!"
"His luck is good, but it's useless. In the end, it still depends on his strength. If he doesn't have the strength, he'll be miserable if he encounters an expert in the next round!"
"That's true!"
Everyone on the spectator stand was discussing.
"Kid, you're lucky!"
Zang Sheng glanced coldly at Lu Ming.
This time, Lu Ming didn't even bother to look at him and directly ignored him.
This was a mad dog. There was no point in talking too much. When the time was right, he would beat him until even his mother couldn't recognize him.
"Now, the battle begins. Number one against number sixteen. The rest of you, retreat to the side."
The middle-aged man announced.
Lu Ming and the others retreated to the side. Only Zang Sheng and a young man in a brocade robe were left.
Zang Sheng's face revealed a sinister smile. He stared at the young man in a brocade robe and said, "Kid, I advise you to admit defeat quickly. Otherwise, you'll suffer later!"
"Hehe, admit defeat? There's no such word in my dictionary. I've been annoyed by your arrogance for a long time. I hope your strength won't disappoint me!"
The young man in a brocade robe smiled proudly.
"You'll regret it soon!"
Zang Sheng sneered.
The atmosphere was already tense before the battle even started.
On the spectator stands, everyone was also discussing animatedly, expressing their own opinions.
"That's the strongest genius from the Yuxu Plain, Yu Zhangfei. Who do you think will win?"
"I think it'll be Zang Sheng from the Dragon Burial Abyss. He's the first person to pass the stage and appear here!"
"I don't think so. The first person to pass the stage doesn't necessarily mean that he's the strongest!"
"That's true!"
Boom! Boom!
Just as everyone was discussing, two powerful auras burst out.
Then, two figures rushed toward each other like lightning.
"Jade Cutting Palm!"
"Blood Dragon Claw!"
Boom!
A loud explosion was heard and a terrifying airwave swept out. Blood-red and jade-green light erupted and filled the entire fighting ring.
Bang!
In the next moment, a scream was heard. A figure flew backward like a cannonball and vomited blood in the air.
It was the young man in a brocade robe from the Yuxu Plain, Yu Zhangfei.
Many people widened their eyes in shock.
Yu Zhangfei, the strongest genius from the Yuxu Plain region, was sent flying with a single blow and vomited blood.
How could this be?
Judging from the aura that Yu Zhangfei had just released, he was definitely at the peak of Martial Ancestor Realm Eight. Moreover, he was a Battle Four Genius.
How could such an expert be sent flying with a single blow from Zang Sheng? How terrifying was Zang Sheng?
"Haha, I thought you were strong. Turns out you're just trash. Now, I'll show you how powerful I am."
Zang Sheng sneered. Then, his body moved and appeared above Yu Zhangfei like a ghost. He stared at Yu Zhangfei coldly.
"Back off!"
Yu Zhangfei was shocked. He used all his strength and threw out seven palm strikes. The palm strikes were crystal clear like jade.
