In the third stage, forty-three people were eliminated in one go.
Qu Youqian had also passed this stage.
The forty-three people who had been eliminated were led out of the camp by the twenty-year-old member of the Judgement Army.
Only the man in his thirties with two stars on his epaulets remained.
Although they had passed this stage, the atmosphere was still tense. Those who remained knew that there would be even harsher tests to come.
"Congratulations on passing the first three stages. It can be said that those who are left are the cream of the crop before the One-Sun stage. The next stage is very simple. It will also test your summoning ability. I will summon a warrior, and you will take turns according to the number plate in your hand. Summon the creature you think is the strongest. Remember, you only have one chance to summon. As long as your summoned creature can defeat and kill the warrior I summon, you will pass this stage. If your summoned creature is killed by my summoned creature, you will be eliminated. Is that clear?"
Are you clear? "The rules were simple and clear. Everyone nodded.
"Alright, since you're clear, let's begin. We'll start with number seven …" The man in his thirties with two stars on his epaulets pointed at the summoner with number seven.
That summoner's number plate was the smallest among all the contestants. Summoners No. 1 to No. 6 in front of him had already been eliminated in the previous rounds. He was the only one left among the Summoners No. 1 to No. 10. Now, there were only one or two contestants left among the ten contestants.
That person was the first to appear. He was clearly nervous, but there was no time for him to get used to the situation.
Everyone spread out and made way for the two of them.
As the 30-odd year old man with 2 stars on his epaulets pointed his finger, a black fog suddenly appeared in the open space in front of them. From the black fog, a majestic warrior slowly walked out. He was holding a huge Zhanmadao that was nearly 2 m long and wearing a majestic shining armor.
Xia Pingan looked at the warrior who had been summoned and was slightly shocked. The warrior was wearing armor with two large round shields on the left and right sides of his breastplate that shone brightly. A wide belt was tied around his waist, a shawl was draped over his shoulders, and a skirt covered his thighs. All of this was made of armor plates. There were even tiger-head shoulder guards on his shoulders. The design was gorgeous. This armor was clearly the Great Tang's Mingguang Armor.
That man couldn't have summoned an elite warrior of the Great Tang, right?
The man holding the number 7 was a little nervous, but under everyone's gaze, he still took a deep breath and began to summon. There was a flash of light on the field, and that man summoned a black-clothed assassin with a short sword in his hand.
"As long as you summon him, we can begin …" the man with the two stars on his epaulets calmly said.
The assassin took the initiative to charge at the Great Tang warrior. His body twisted strangely like smoke, and the dagger in the assassin's hand was hidden in his sleeve.
The two sides began to exchange blows. When the assassin was about three meters away from the warrior, he swung his arm and threw out several cold glints, aiming for the Great Tang warrior's face, neck, and chest. The Great Tang warrior only raised his hands to protect his face. The darts he threw fell to the ground when they hit the Mingguang Armor on the Great Tang warrior's body.
Since the first attack failed and the darts were useless, the assassin lowered his body and flew close to the ground. He wanted to circle behind the Great Tang warrior. The dagger in his sleeve appeared in his hand, and he wanted to cut the Great Tang warrior's neck from behind. He kicked out from behind, aiming for the Great Tang warrior's crotch …
The attacks of the summoned warrior could be said to be strange and sinister, and his figure could be said to be agile and cunning. However, Xia Pingan still shook his head. In this kind of situation, summoning an assassin to fight with a warrior would mean that the assassin's stealth and surprise had been lost. This assassin was actually half useless. It was just like when two armies were fighting and you arranged for an assassin to charge. The time and space here were not advantageous to the assassin.
Perhaps Number 7 wanted to take a gamble. Perhaps this assassin was the strongest person that Number 7 could summon, but Xia Pingan was not optimistic.
In the face of this attack, the Great Tang warrior suddenly turned around and held his Zhanmadao horizontally. With a clang, he blocked the dagger that was aimed at his neck. As for the kick from the assassin, the Great Tang warrior did not care at all. The moment the Great Tang warrior turned around, that kick was blocked by the skirt of the Mingguang Armor.
The next second, the Great Tang warrior suddenly stepped forward. The huge Zhanmadao in his hand spun nimbly and slashed out diagonally.
The assassin lowered his body and wanted to retreat. However, the Zhanmadao was too long and too big. When the Zhanmadao slashed down, it covered a radius of two meters. The Zhanmadao slashed down diagonally like a door, cutting from high to low. There was no way to dodge.
The assassin could only use his dagger to block and block, but …
In the eyes of Xia Pingan and everyone else, the Great Tang warrior's dagger and the assassin's body were cut into two by the Zhanmadao.
The Zhanmadao was too powerful. It was not something that the assassin's dagger could block.
The assassin turned into black smoke and dissipated. Number 7 had a bitter expression on his face as he silently retreated.
"Next …" The man in his thirties with two stars on his epaulets said calmly.
The next person to go up was Number 12.
Number 12 was also a male summoner. After he went up, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand, summoning a cavalryman on a warhorse.
The cavalryman was also wearing armor and holding a spear.
The warhorse galloped twice on the spot. The cavalryman clamped his legs on the horse's abdomen. With a neigh, the warhorse sped up and charged toward the Great Tang warrior.
This was a duel between a cavalryman and a Zhanmadao.
The two sides soon clashed …
Just as the spear was about to reach him, the Great Tang warrior with the horse-slaying sword leaped into the air and swung his sword down with all his might.
The Zhanmadao directly severed the neck of the warhorse. The horse's head fell off and the entire warhorse turned into light and dissipated. The cavalryman on the warhorse fell heavily to the ground. Before he could get up, the Great Tang warrior with the Zhanmadao had already rushed over. He kicked the spear away from the cavalryman's hand and stepped on the cavalryman's chest. Then, he raised his Zhanmadao and chopped off the cavalryman's head.
The cavalryman that was summoned also dissipated.
Summoner Number 12 sadly retreated.
"Next …"
Number 26 went up. This Number 26 was also a female summoner. She was quite pretty, but her face was cold. The moment Number 26 went up, she summoned a seventeen to eighteen meters long blood-red python.
When the surrounding summoners saw the python, many of them gasped and quietly retreated a few steps.
The blood-red python wriggled on the ground and approached the Great Tang warrior bit by bit.
This time, the Great Tang warrior looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He held the Zhanmadao in his hand and took a defensive stance. He carefully faced the blood-red python.
A moment later, the Great Tang warrior chose to take the initiative to attack. He rushed over with the Zhanmadao and slashed at the blood-red python.
The blood-red python seemed to have been waiting for this moment. When it saw the Great Tang warrior rushing over, the blood-red python opened its mouth and spat out a puff of black smoke. The black smoke immediately enveloped the Great Tang warrior.
When the black smoke dissipated, the Great Tang warrior's face turned black. The Mingguang Armor on his body seemed to have lost its luster. His body swayed and fell to the ground.
The python opened its mouth and swallowed the Great Tang warrior from head to toe.
"This round, Number 26 wins. Next …"
The man in his thirties with two stars on his epaulets said as he summoned another Great Tang warrior who looked exactly like the previous one.
Number 26 waved his hand and the blood-red python dissipated.
Summoner Number 34 went up.
Summoner Number 34 summoned an archer.
The archer moved nimbly and did not get close to the Great Tang warrior. Instead, he maintained a distance of more than thirty meters from the Great Tang warrior and attacked directly with his bow.
After shooting more than ten arrows, the human archer summoned by Number 34 shot the Great Tang warrior in the face. The Great Tang warrior dissipated and Number 34 passed the round again.
…
Xia Pingan was the seventh to go up.
After observing the previous rounds, Xia Pingan had a rough idea of the Great Tang warrior's combat strength. Therefore, Xia Pingan did not waste any time and directly used 108 points of divine energy to summon a Xuanwu the size of a washbasin.
Xuanwu's victory was clean and crisp.
As soon as the Black Tortoise appeared, it exhaled, and a layer of frost immediately formed on the Great Tang warrior's face, armor, saber, and the ground. The temperature in the arena suddenly plummeted, and quite a few people shivered.
The frozen Great Tang warrior was like a rusty robot. His joints were frozen and his movements were sluggish. Then, Xuanwu flew over and bit the Great Tang warrior's leg.
The black water instantly covered the Great Tang warrior and turned him into black ice. The black ice then shattered and the Great Tang warrior dissipated.
The Xuanwu summoned by Xia Pingan was the fastest and most efficient one to finish the battle.
Everyone around looked at Xia Pingan.
The man from the Judgement Army also looked at Xia Pingan deeply again.
After several rounds, everyone realized that Xia Pingan was special. Xia Pingan had stood out.
"This round, Number 68 wins. Next …"
…
The people behind summoned all kinds of creatures to fight with the Great Tang warrior. However, not many people could kill the Great Tang warrior. On average, only one out of every three summoners succeeded.
Qu Youqian also summoned an archer, and he won as well.
Out of the 39 Summoners, only 12 managed to pass this stage.
