The Challenge
"Silence." Duan Qian stood out. Although her voice was soft, everyone heard it. The noisy scene quieted down immediately.
"The Dragon's Fury Secret Realm is full of danger. Death is inevitable."
"But Sir, the death rate is too high. Only six of them came out," an elder from the Huyan Family said.
"Shut up. Are you doubting me? Since you're participating in the Battle of the Dragon Lake and entering the Dragon's Fury Secret Realm, then you must be prepared to die. Alright, now the few of you come up. Whoever obtains the most cores will be the champion of this Battle of the Dragon Lake and will become a disciple of my Sky Dragon Sect. "
Everyone shut their mouths. This was a Perfected Elder of the Sky Dragon Sect. He was in the Purple Mansion Realm and could kill everyone here with just a finger.
"Go," Yang Hongwu said to the girls beside him.
"Okay."
Lin Ruyu was the first to go up and poured out the cores she got.
"Lin Ruyu, 300 cores of Class 2 and 73 cores of Class 3."
"Lin Rushuang, 272 Class 2 Savage Beast cores, 67 Class 3 Savage Beast cores."
"Hua Qianyun, 212 cores of Class 2 and 55 cores of Class 3."
"Zhao Muxue, 294 cores of Class 2 and 70 cores of Class 3."
Hearing these numbers, Hua Wuying was full of smiles. If these numbers were in the previous Battle of the Dragon Lake, they would be able to get first place.
Just as Yang Hongwu was about to go up, Yang Hongtian walked out.
He poured out the cores he got and piled them up on the table.
"Gosh, all of them are Class 3 cores. This number is too shocking."
"Yang Hongtian, 831 cores of Class 3."
Then, Yang Hongtian poured out some more.
"Also, could it be the core of a Level 4 savage beast?"
"Definitely. He's in the True Spirit Realm. He must have Class 4 cores."
"Forty-one cores of Grade 4 savage beasts."
"Oh my god, it's really Class 4 cores. There are more than 40 of them. This … this is too shocking. He's definitely the winner."
"Not necessarily. Don't we still have Hua Wu Que's results to look at?"
"Hua Wu Que is only in the Earth Energy Realm. Do you think he can kill a Level 4 savage beast?"
"Last one, Hua Wu Que."
Yang Hongwu smiled faintly and walked up.
He poured out his inner cores. Of course, they were all Level 3 and Level 4 savage beasts' inner cores.
"Yang Hongwu, 785 Class 3 cores, 28 Class 4 cores."
"Indeed, I knew that the first place would be Yang Hongtian. However, Hua Wuque is also amazing. He is only in the Earth Energy Realm, but he managed to obtain more than 20 Grade 4 savage beast cores."
"I declare that the champion of this year's Battle of the Dragon Reservoir is …" Duan Qian was a little disappointed, but she still raised her hand and prepared to announce the champion.
"Wait, there's more," said Yang Hongwu.
"Could it be that he still has some trump card?"
Hua Wu Ying, Fang Shan and Duan Qian were all disappointed. However, they did not expect Yang Hongwu to speak again.
"It's a futile struggle. Class 2 cores are incomparable to Class 3 and Class 4 cores. No matter how many you have, it won't make much of a difference," said Yang Hongtian.
"That's right. Yang Hongtian is right. If it's just a Class 2 core, it won't change anything," Although Duan Qian thought highly of Yang Hongwu, she would not side with Yang Hongwu in this situation.
"Of course not." Yang Hongwu smiled and said, "I still have one core. This core is enough to turn the tables."
"You want to turn the tables with one core? Do you still have a Class 5 core?" Yang Hongtian sneered.
"Unless he has a Class 5 core, he won't be able to turn the tables."
"A Class 5 beast is equivalent to a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator. It's not something an ordinary cultivator can handle. Even a cultivator at the peak of the True Spirit Realm is no match for it."
"That's right. It's a Class 5 core," Yang Hongwu took out the core of the One-eyed Dragon Ape and placed it on the table.
The fist-sized core was dazzling.
"Gosh, that's definitely a Class 5 core."
"Unbelievable, it's really unbelievable. He actually got a Class 5 core."
The crowd was dumbfounded.
This was a Level 5 Savage Beast. The value of a Level 5 Savage Beast's Inner Core was immeasurable. It could be used to forge a Supreme-Grade Earth Weapon, or it could be used to refine elixirs. Refining the True Spirit Elixir would allow a warrior to directly break through the Gang Qi Realm and enter the True Spirit Realm.
"This is the core of a Class 5 One-eyed Dragon Ape. It should have been killed not long ago. I hereby announce that the winner of the Battle of the Dragon Lake is Hua Wu Que from the Flower Moon Mansion," announced Duan Qian loudly.
"My Lord, please wait for a moment," said Yang Hongtian as he stood up and looked at Duan Qian.
"What else do you want?"
"I'm not convinced. I don't think he has the ability to kill a Class 5 beast," said Yang Hongtian. "Even if all of them worked together, they wouldn't be able to kill a Class 5 beast."
"It doesn't matter if he was the one who killed the level-5 savage beast, but it's his luck that he was able to obtain the level-5 savage beast's inner core." Duan Qian shook her head. "So, he'll be the first in the Dragon's Fury Mystery Region."
"My Lord, I remember that I have a chance to challenge him, right?" Yang Hongtian asked again. "If I defeat him, I'll be the winner."
"You want to challenge Hua Wu Que? You want to be the winner? " Duan Qian frowned. "Although you have the chance, if you want to challenge him, you'll have to pay a high price. If you lose, you'll lose all the cores to Hua Wu Que. Also, you'll have to pay 10,000 spiritual stones."
The Battle of the Dragon Lake was divided into three stages. The first stage was the threshold, the second stage was the Dragon's Fury Secret Dimension, and the third stage was the challenge.
However, there was a gradual change in the later stages. In the second stage, there was no prohibition against killing each other and obtaining the cores of the savage beasts in the hands of the other party. Thus, there was basically a clear distinction in the second stage. Thus, the last stage was dispensable.
"Furthermore, even if you win the challenge, you'll have to pay half of it."
"I'm sure," said Yang Hongtian as he nodded his head seriously.
Yang Hongwu knew that things weren't going well. The situation had changed, and things were getting troublesome. Hua Qianxue was in a deep sleep, and Yang Hongwu could only fight at the Early Stage of the True Spirit Realm. If they really fought, Yang Hongwu didn't have the confidence to win. This was really troublesome.
"Okay." Duan Qian nodded her head in agreement. Looking at Yang Hongwu, she said, "Hua Wu Que, did you hear me clearly? Tomorrow, you and Yang Hongtian will fight for first place. At that time, whoever wins will be the winner of the Battle of the Dragon Lake."
Yang Hongwu had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.
He couldn't reject her. If he did, it would mean that he had given up the first place.
