After waiting for a while, the sun hung in the east and shone on the forum stage.
Saint Xihua, the Great Zhou Sacred King, the Sky Saint, the Glass Saint, and other saints sat on the high seats, looking at everyone.
At that moment, the elder presiding over the Nine State Forum stood on the east side of the forum stage. He looked forward and said loudly, "The top hundred of the Nine State Forum, enter the arena."
As his voice fell, the top hundred of the holy lands of the Nine States walked out and stepped onto the forum stage. Beside Ye Futian, Hua Jieyu glanced at him and then stood up.
"Don't feel pressured. The ranking is not important," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Yeah." Hua Jieyu nodded lightly, then turned and walked forward. Although Ye Futian said that the ranking was not important, she understood that it was.
If the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State could not get a good ranking, the Barren State, which had already been looked down upon by many, would be looked down upon even more.
Therefore, the seven of them would do their best to fight for this battle.
Ye Futian looked at the backs of the seven and felt a sense of sadness. He could not help but smile bitterly and shake his head. What are these guys thinking?
The top hundred of the Nine States stood on the vast battle platform.
At that moment, the forum stage was extremely empty.
Suddenly, the grandstand area was silent. Everyone looked at the forum stage, looking forward to the start of the final battle.
"The rules of the Nine State Forum's battle of the top hundred are very simple. Challenge, the winner stays, and the loser is eliminated. There is no order. Whoever wants to challenge, just step forward and point out who you want to challenge. The winner enters the top 50." At that moment, the elder announced the rules of the final battle of the Nine State Forum. It was indeed very simple.
The battle of the top hundred did not use the method of drawing lots, which would instead cause the ultimate battle of the strongest to occur early.
For example, if the two strongest of the Nine State Forum were to fight each other during the drawing of lots, what would happen?
With this free challenge rule, if the two strongest of the Nine State Forum were to fight each other early, then it would be fine.
This kind of situation usually did not happen. These people would try their best to avoid those who were too strong and leave the most difficult opponents for later.
Of course, there was also unfairness. Some people could be targeted by the top figures.
But since it was a battle, it could not be absolutely fair, and no one would care or care about this little bit of fairness.
The world only cared about the outcome.
In the battle of a hundred, the winner would enter the top fifty.
"Let's start." The elder announced officially. A solemn atmosphere shrouded the forum stage as soon as his voice landed. The pinnacle battles of the Nine State Forum had begun.
An invisible gust of wind flowed on the forum stage. When the elder announced the start of the battle, no one stepped out immediately. It was exceptionally quiet.
According to the principle, at this time, one should hurry up and choose the weakest person possible to challenge. However, there were no weaklings among those who could enter the top hundred. Apart from some of the top figures, it was hard to tell who was strong and who was weak, so it was not easy to pick an opponent.
At that moment, a figure stepped out.
That person walked out from the direction of the Eastern State. He was from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty of the Eastern State, and his eyes were filled with arrogance.
The robe embroidered with the image of a golden phoenix fluttered in the wind. The symbol of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's royal family was embroidered on the robe.
"Zhou You!"
Countless eyes froze there, and the eyes of everyone in the grandstand area were all looking at the figure who walked out.
Zhou You, the strongest figure of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty in this year's Nine State Forum. He had an extremely high status among the younger generation of the royal family. In the past three days, everyone had acknowledged that Zhou You had the ability to enter the top ten. There were even people who thought that Zhou You might be able to win the Nine State Forum.
One could imagine how powerful Zhou You was. Although the Eastern State, as the host of this year's Nine State Forum, paid more attention to the younger generations of the Eastern State, such as Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and had a better understanding of them. As such, the guesses about the rankings might have been biased. Even so, if Zhou You was not strong enough, he would not have such thoughts.
His opponent is unlucky, many people thought. Even on the forum stage, many people were slightly nervous. It was difficult to have absolute confidence when facing Zhou You. If they were to be challenged, the possibility of them being eliminated was too high. They could only hope that Zhou You would not challenge them.
Of course, there were some who were extremely confident in their own abilities and did not care at all.
For them, the battles before were just a process.
Zhou You's eyes scanned the crowd and finally landed in one direction. Suddenly, everyone looked in that direction. The seven people there were particularly eye-catching. The seven of them occupied a corner of the Barren State.
"Your Life Spirit is also the Phoenix, so I'll choose you," Zhou You said. It was obvious that he was speaking to Phoenix.
Many people did not expect that the first person Zhou You challenged would be a woman. Phoenix, a student of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
Everyone else from the Barren State looked at Zhou You. Could it be that the people from the Barren State were more eye-catching?
Why did they all like to take the initiative to attack the people from the Barren State?
Ye Futian also revealed a strange expression. Could it be that the people from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty did not like him?
First it was Zhou Ziyi, then it was the Great Zhou Sacred King who seemed to have a problem with him.
Now, Zhou You, the strongest person from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, was the first to step out and challenge someone from the Barren State.
Phoenix was probably in danger.
However, these things were uncontrollable and unavoidable.
Phoenix, on the other hand, looked very calm. She stepped out and came before Zhou You.
"Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, Zhou You."
"Holy Zhi Palace, Phoenix."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them burst into flames. Zhou You's body was bathed in the golden flames of the phoenix, which were extremely overbearing. Phoenix's body was bathed in flames that were relatively mild, but also gave off an extremely terrifying aura. There was a faint feeling of endless growth.
The flames of both of them clashed in the air, and two huge phoenix silhouettes appeared in the sky.
The golden phoenix flames on Zhou You's body seemed to be able to melt all the power of heaven and earth, and they devoured Phoenix's flames bit by bit, turning them into a part of his own flames. The golden phoenix silhouette grew larger and larger, suppressing Phoenix's phoenix flames.
The huge phoenix wings flapped and suddenly turned into golden phoenix blades that traversed the air, slashing towards Phoenix's silhouette.
Rustling sounds were heard, and a huge red ancient parasol tree appeared behind Phoenix. The branches and leaves of the ancient parasol tree spread out in a frenzy, sweeping towards the blades coming down from the air. They were cut apart continuously, and the flames raged, but they were still wrapped up in the end, unable to escape from the ancient parasol tree.
Voom. Zhou You's body turned into a bolt of golden lightning, moving unbelievably fast. He traversed the space and descended. He stretched out his palm, and suddenly, the power of the phoenix flames around him seemed to be drawn out, bursting from his palm and enveloping the space where Phoenix was.
As if sensing the terrifying destructive power, the ancient parasol tree enveloped the space around it, and Phoenix hid within it. At the same time, countless vines, like phoenix vines, swept towards Zhou You in the air.
"Slash." A cold voice rang out from Zhou You's mouth and the golden phoenix silhouette slashed down, cutting all the vines. At the same time, the power that burst out from his palm transformed into a raging space of flames, which gradually melted the huge wutong tree.
The wutong tree had also turned golden, and there was a faint aura of decay. Zhou You raised his hand and stepped forward. The shadow of the phoenix soared into the sky and swooped down. With a slash, the wutong tree exploded and was destroyed, turning into countless golden spots of light. The destructive shadow continued to rush inside, looking extremely overbearing.
Phoenix's silhouette appeared in his field of vision, and the ancient parasol tree's vines continued to swirl towards her. A cold golden light flashed in Zhou You's eyes, and he continued to swoop down.
"Boom!"
The golden phoenix pierced through the air, aiming for Phoenix's body.
Phoenix did not dodge, and the phoenix passed right through her. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale. At the same time, the parasol tree's vines wrapped around Zhou You's body.
Zhou You frowned. Is Phoenix not dodging on purpose?
"Do you want to die?"
Zhou You looked at the beautiful woman before him, but he did not have much compassion for the fairer sex. Golden light shone and the wutong tree on his body was destroyed. His palm trembled again and the golden phoenix continued to rush into Phoenix's body, causing her body to slide backwards. Red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Zhou You had wanted to continue attacking, but at that moment, he frowned. There were wisps of Inextinguishable Fire burning in his body, wreaking havoc in his blood and meridians.
A powerful force flowed in his blood, trying to erase it. However, he felt that the fire was extremely tenacious. Every wisp of fire was like a tiny phoenix, nibbling away at his body bit by bit, causing him to feel extreme pain.
"Inextinguishable Fire." Zhou You's face was pale. He raised his head and looked at Phoenix. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at him, and said, "I admit defeat."
After saying that, she dragged her injured body back to the seats of the Barren State.
"Are you alright?" Ye Futian looked at Phoenix, a little worried. Why is this woman fighting so hard?
"I'm fine." Phoenix fed herself a pill, then sat down cross-legged. Ye Futian relaxed a little. Phoenix's self-healing ability must be very strong, so there was no need for him to worry too much. However, she was stubborn, wanting to make Zhou You pay even if she was injured.
At that moment, Zhou You returned to his seat, but he also sat on the ground. Golden flames bathed his body, and it was obvious that he was still dissolving the power in his body. It was not good.
In the first battle, Zhou You of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty won. Finally, another person from the Barren State was eliminated.
However, this battle still left a deep impression. Phoenix had injured Zhou You. Even if she was eliminated, she had made Zhou You pay a certain price.
The people of the Barren State were really tenacious.
Now, there were only six students from the Barren State left.
Before everyone could recover from their thoughts, another person walked out. Many people's eyes narrowed.
The person who walked out was Xu Que of the Barren State.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. I will challenge you." Xu Que pointed at the Eastern State's seat, at a figure beside Zhou You. A descendant of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty!
