There were a lot of spots in the advanced division, 2,000, but only a few people were qualified to participate.
It was the opposite of the previous situation where tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of hunters competed for hundreds of spots.
Tang Yu pondered. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there weren't 2,000 hunters above the Tenth Awakening in the Eastern Eighth District of the Holy Region?
Don't worry, there won't be any opponents!
… …
In his mind, the countdown gradually came to an end.
An invisible force descended and covered him. Tang Yu's eyes narrowed and tried to break free, but he couldn't move. The next moment, he appeared thousands of meters in the air. Beneath his feet was a translucent orange light curtain. Through the light curtain, he saw countless hunters on the ground, stretching their necks and raising their heads high.
The light curtain seemed to be stuck for a moment as it was constructing a square battle space.
There was no closed space formed, and no battle signal appeared in his mind.
Could it be …?
At this time, Tang Yu received a new message. [According to the number of participants in the advanced division, a certain degree of rule adjustment has been made. The resurrection qualification has been cancelled. Everyone will participate in five matches. The first 2,000 people will get a spot. If the number of wins is the same, the one with the shortest winning time will be the winner. ]
His eyes swept across the sparse figures on the light curtain.
There should be thousands of people, no more than 10,000 at most (including transcendents. The transcendent rank was not divided into separate divisions), symbolizing the highest combat power on Earth.
Well, it's actually a little more than he expected.
"It's impossible for the Tree Shade to occupy most of the spots in the advanced division. After all, there are only a few participants."
More than a month ago, the Tree Shade's official hunters hadn't broken through to the Tenth Awakening Stage, except for the followers.
There were adventurers, all of whom were originally super strong in their respective places. After arriving at the Tree Shade, they advanced further. But it was no more than two palms.
And now, among the official hunters, Lu Xiaopeng, Peng Bo, Ma Jiafeng, Lan Qingya, Ji Ming, Xia Wanru, Cai Jiajia, Sun Yu, and a few others had broken through the bottleneck.
About 30 people.
Still not many. On the one hand, many of the official hunters were low-level hunters who had been trained step by step. Their average level was still incomparable to the Norland Ancestral Dragon, which represented the world's top organizations.
On the other hand, breaking through was a matter of metaphysics.
There were many hunters in the Norland, and there were also many people who were stuck in the bottleneck of the Ninth Stage. People with good qualifications and profound martial arts understanding were more likely to break through, but it was not absolute.
Some people held it in for a long time and still couldn't break through, but some people could break through the bottleneck with a fart or a poop.
Tang Yu saw the hunters of Norland.
Most of them wore combat suits with patterns of Azure Dragon, Candle Dragon, and Winged Dragon. There were also a few from other departments and Rogue Hunters. Tang Yu saw Norland's Rogue Hunters wearing combat suits produced by the Tree Shade. Standing among the Norland's experts, their styles were different and particularly conspicuous.
Norland's Ancestral Dragon Legion should be the group with the largest number of people in the high-level division.
The hunters wearing the Tree Shade Combat Suit were scattered all over the place, but there were quite a few of them.
In addition, Tang Yu also saw some people wearing strange clothes. Some had long hair in braids and wore clothes like a mandarin jacket; some wore pointed round hats longer than their faces and had long beards …
Some wore forehead ornaments and masks; some even burst out their aura unreservedly, like a red sun, pressuring the nearby hunters. They looked horrified and retreated again and again.
They were the hunters of the Fourth Era!
Just from what he saw, there were two or three hundred people. Tang Yu believed there were more people wearing similar clothes and hiding.
Perhaps some of them were already transcendent!
… …
After a while, a light curtain wall rose in the distance, and the fighting space finally took shape.
Tang Yu looked at the opposite side, a hunter he didn't know. The man was strong, with two large axes more than a meter long on his muscular arms. Obviously, he had entered a fighting state, releasing his aura unreservedly.
Tenth Awakening Stage.
Tang Yu glanced and saw the opponent's legs were full of power, like a lion pouncing. He also raised his hand, without taking out a weapon. He quickly skimmed through the skills he had learned in his mind.
"Well, let's try the Demon Swordsman's Thunder Combat Skill."
Crackling, lightning wrapped around his palm, Tang Yu aimed his palm at the strong man in the distance.??? Purple lightning spouted out.
Boom!
"Thunder Strike" accurately hit the opponent. The strong man flew halfway and froze on the spot. His whole body was scorched black, and his hair stood up like spikes.
In the next second, the man disappeared from his sight. He admitted defeat.
Tang Yu nodded slightly. "Thunder Strike" was originally a melee combat skill. After his transformation, it had become a long-range combat skill. It could also be called a spell. At the low level, the difference between combat skills and spells was more obvious. But at the high level of awakening, or even transcendent, all kinds of means were the same.
This showed that his use of source power had reached a higher level.
A force descended from the void and enveloped him. When he came back to his senses, Tang Yu had already appeared in the Tree Shade Camp on the ground. At the same time, the force also turned into a thin stream to nourish his whole body, replenishing the source power and stamina he had just consumed.
Elaine, Nancy, and the others had already returned to their original place. Some hunters who had just broken through to the Tenth Awakening were still fighting above.
After waiting for a short while, the second round began.
Tang Yu was once again teleported to the battle space thousands of meters high. This time, his opponent was a hunter from the Fourth Era. He was much stronger than the previous strong man. At the Twelfth Awakening Stage, Tang Yu tried the Demon Swordsman's Ice Inheritance Skill, "Polar Ice Blade." He defeated his opponent in ten seconds.
The third round.
The person who appeared in the distance was a hunter wearing a Tree Shade Battle Suit. Tang Yu didn't know him, but the opponent showed a stunned, admiring, helpless, sighing … his expression kept changing, and finally, his figure disappeared.
In just one second, he had won.
The fourth round.
The opponent was one of his own. Tang Yu was helpless when he saw Elaine wearing a frost robe and holding a staff as tall as a man.
In the high-end game, there weren't many people in the Tree Shade Camp. How come it's always our own people fighting our own people?
Elaine also admitted defeat. Her figure disappeared, and the two returned to their original place.
At this time, there was only one last round left.
Among the followers, their records were basically all wins. They didn't encounter the Norland or Fourth Era's Transcendents. Gray Blade had encountered an opponent at the Great Perfection of the Awakening Order, the same level as him. But the opponent was defeated within a minute.
Only Elaine's loss to him was the only defeat among the crowd.
Tang Yu wasn't worried. If they won three out of five, they had a high chance of qualifying. Even if Elaine was unlucky in the last round and encountered a Transcendent opponent, with her strength, she still had a great chance of winning.
Tang Yu looked into the distance. Lu Xiaopeng and the others were having a hard time. Taking advantage of the interval, the healing team was stepping up to help them recover from their injuries.
Not long after.
The power of teleportation once again enveloped him. As soon as Tang Yu stood still, he heard a loud voice coming from the distance.
"Kid, admit defeat. I'm too lazy to fight."
He looked and saw a man with wild long hair, dressed in a gray robe, with his hands crossed over his chest, suspended a foot above the light curtain. His head was raised, and his eyes were disdainful.
A terrifying aura struck, like the sea in the center of a storm. Thunder rumbled and stormy waves surged.
It's a Transcendent!
Tang Yu's eyes narrowed. Unexpectedly, he won the bid!
However, it's impossible to admit defeat. The dignified Tree Shade Great Lord, who knows how many fangirls were watching … he didn't want to lose face!
So Tang Yu raised his chin slightly, stretched out his middle finger, and coldly stared back.
… …
The new Transcendent from the Guyan Kingdom, Qi Diao Nan was stunned.
The Guyan Kingdom used to be a big country, but it was rumored that it declined at the end of the Third Era. By the Fourth Era, it could only be ranked as one of the many small countries, without even a single Transcendent.
Being suppressed by the three major countries, Qi Diao Nan was very aggrieved. However, after waking up, he found that the humans of the Fifth Era were extremely weak, and their inheritance was almost severed. They, the few people of the Fourth Era, came to this era and could seize the opportunity.
Just like now, he had successfully stepped into the realm he dreamed of. He was no worse than the people of the three major countries.
In the previous four rounds, apart from the first round, he did not even bother to move a finger in the last three rounds. His aura alone was enough to scare the weak fellows out of their wits.
But now, there was something wrong with the script?
Qi Diao Nan was very sure that the young man in front of him wasn't a Transcendent. If he didn't notice, it would be fine. But when the two of them stood facing each other, no matter how they restrained their aura, they couldn't hide from the Transcendent's sharp detection ability.
And a small awakening rank, even if it was a Grand Perfection, in front of a Transcendent, was just a slightly stronger bamboo rat.
He dared to be indifferent and even provoke him? Was the hunter in front of him an idiot?
Qi Diao Nan felt that he didn't need to be angry with the idiot. He raised his hand and grasped with his five fingers. Majestic source power condensed into a light ball and instantly flew out.
This attack alone could destroy half of the village.
Boom!
The air rippled. There was no smoke or dust, but the violent flow of energy caused the space to distort, covering Tang Yu's small body.
After waiting for two seconds.
The teleportation didn't arrive as expected. Qi Diao Nan raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He grabbed another energy light ball and blasted it out.
Boom!
Clang!
Boom!!!
The battle space kept shaking. After a dozen seconds, the chaotic flow of energy dissipated. The young man in battle armor, unharmed, appeared in front of him.
… …
Tang Yu held two rune longswords in his hands and crossed them.
The faint light shield phantom slowly dissipated.
He put down the longsword and moved his wrist. He felt … okay. The Transcendent in front of him was weaker than he thought. He easily blocked it with a "Guard" move.
Tang Yu was also interested in hunting.
In the spiritual space, there were too few Transcendent templates. The one he usually fought the most was Yan Dingtian. In addition, there were Elaine, Nancy, and the foreign Transcendent who attacked the territory before. The total number of samples was less than 20, and he had killed them countless times. He was a bit tired.
Finally, he met a Transcendent who was weaker than Old Yan. Tang Yu dispelled the idea of buying crystals.
He didn't use the fancy source power release move. His body leaned forward, his feet stepped on the ground, and his whole body flew out like a lightning bolt. Under the ultra-high speed movement, the thin air was like sticky water. Tang Yu's source power spewed out to form a coat, sharp as a knife, cutting the air to both sides. The speed was getting faster and faster, scraping out sparks.
Clang!
Qi Diaonan had already set up his stance, his fingers bent into a claw.
Tang Yu crossed a distance of thousands of meters in an instant. As he approached, he gently lifted his foot, "Flash Step." In the next moment, he appeared behind Qi Diaonan and stabbed with his sword.
Qi Diaonan didn't turn around, but accurately grasped like a sword blade. His fingers glowed with a metallic luster. Even a grade A alloy would be scratched a few holes.
In Tang Yu's other hand, the longsword soared into a crimson flame. It drew a circle in the air and collided with the Transcendent's claw, making a metallic sound.
Immediately, the tiger's mouth went numb. He saw Transcendent raise his leg, wrapped in Origin Energy flames, and kick towards his face.
The piercing air was like a thunderclap!
It was like being in the eye of the wind. Before the foot arrived, the wind was like a knife cutting his face.
In terms of speed and reflexes, Tang Yu was not a Transcendent. He was much worse!
But he had already expected it. He simply closed his eyes. His perception spread like a wave. A strong sense of crisis made his eyebrows tingle.
With the help of Transcendent Perception (Passive), Tang Yu was able to capture Old Yan's movements as early as the 11th Awakening Stage. Now it was even clearer!
Qi Diaonan's foot swept past. The air twisted and the afterimage shattered.
Tang Yu's figure had already appeared on the other side. His right hand holding the sword was still in a stabbing position.
Qi Diaonan's palm thrust out. Source power seeped out and formed an enormous palm shadow. The shadow shattered and the enormous palm shadow rumbled out several hundred meters before fading and disappearing.
"Flash Step."
"Flash Consecutive Stab."
The endless strong wind blew his hair into a mess. The source power in his energy sea charged out along his meridians, passing through his arm and pouring into the sword.
Tang Yu's mind was still like water. He still hadn't truly attacked.
Left palm … …
Right leg raised … …
Qi Diaonan was like a sun that gave off endless light and heat. But as he continued to sense, the light of the sun gradually faded and became clear.
It was like an ink painting that was spread out.
There was a wild and unrestrained figure drawn on it.
His hands and feet all had lines formed by shadows.
Every move was just a character under the painter's pen, and Tang Yu was the one who painted.
— — Control at the level of "Concept"!
Tang Yu was using probing again and again to guide the opponent in the direction he wanted. He placed his piece!
His eyes suddenly opened. His figure once again appeared. The restrained light of the longsword was released at this moment!
… …
Qi Diaonan's attacks were unsuccessful. His movements were clearly faster but the opponent dodged as though he knew what was going to happen.
Each and every one of his movements was as smooth as flowing water.
He became even more focused but it was to no avail.
Suddenly, Qi Diao Nan felt a threat. A cold energy stabbed out from his back. His waist twisted and his arm was just about to swing back when that person appeared on his left side. From a tricky angle, he stabbed out with a sword covered in flames.
The red and purple flames caused the air to twist. Even half a meter away, the burning sensation made Qi Diaonan feel as though he was in a volcano.
"How can he be this strong?"
He didn't dare to be stabbed by this. His body moved one meter to the side without any pattern but he was still stabbed. The Transcendent force field instantly shattered like a bubble and left behind a small hole on his left arm. There was also the sound of high temperature burning?? Hanwu?
Qi Diaonan's eyes finally showed fear. He didn't bother to counterattack and stomped on the ground. The Transcendent force field also pushed his body and he quickly flew backwards.
At this time.
A piercing pain came from the back of his neck. In Qi Diaonan's perception, that youth calmly stabbed out from behind him. He quickly retreated as if he was delivering himself to the door.
He couldn't dodge!
… …
The sword pierced through and Qi Diaonan's figure disappeared. A few drops of blood dripped from the tip of the sword.
Immediately.
A mysterious power enveloped his body. Tang Yu returned to the Tree Shade's camp.
His tense mind relaxed, and his whole body went limp. It was as if he couldn't even lift his arms.
The battle didn't last long. It looked like he had suppressed his opponent from beginning to end and had a crushing 10: 0 score. But in reality, only Tang Yu knew that he had used all of his trump cards except for the spamming mode.
Finally, he defeated a new Transcendent and forced him to admit defeat.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
He didn't need to spend crystals or use cheats. He could defeat a Transcendent in a fair and square manner.
As for [Flash Step], [Flash Stab], [Transcendent Perception (Passive)], [Sublimation of Source Power (Passive)] and other skills that greatly increased his strength from the Lord Exclusive Mode, well, Tang Yu selectively ignored them.
