"Everyone, please wake up. It's time for the second round of the elite battle!" A cold voice suddenly appeared in the sky, instantly attracting the gazes of all the martial artists.
The illusory black figure was still sitting cross-legged in the sky. Beside him, the elegant Yue Yuan stood respectfully beside the illusory black figure. This was the Lord Left Minister, the host of the Vermillion Bird Millennium Elite Battle.
Looking at the elegant Yue Yuan in the sky, Ling Dong curled his lips in disdain. You really couldn't judge a book by its cover. With Yue Yuan's appearance, anyone who saw him would have a favorable impression of him.
"One month has passed. The second round of the elite battle is about to begin." In the sky, the illusory Lord Left Minister opened his mouth again. "The second round of the Elite Battle is a free challenge between the Elite Warriors. However, I still have important matters to attend to and can't personally host it. I'll leave it to Yue Yuan to host it. "
Finally, the Lord Left Minister shouted at Yue Yuan, "Yue Tan, I'll leave it to you. After the free challenge is over, inform me." After throwing down these words, the Lord Left Minister's illusory figure suddenly turned illusory like smoke. Just like last time, he left an extremely faint shadow in the sky.
Once the Lord Left Minister left, the respectful expression on Yue Yuan's face disappeared. He straightened his back slightly and his tranquil expression suddenly became serious.
"Everyone, I've been entrusted by the Lord Left Minister to host the second round of the elite battle. I ask for everyone's cooperation. Just now, the Lord Left Minister said that the second round of the elite battle is a free challenge between the elite martial artists. Now, I'll explain to everyone what a free challenge is, "Yue Yuan said after clearing his throat.
Hearing the name of the free challenge, Ling Dong let out a sigh of relief. Because the free challenge was a battle between martial artists, it would be extremely difficult for Yue Yuan to do anything to Ling Dong.
"To put it bluntly, the free challenge is a free challenge between the three hundred and forty-seven martial artists who passed the soul battle. Although it is said to be a free challenge, there are certain rules, and these rules are … "
At this point, Yue Yuan's voice paused and he kept everyone in suspense. Immediately, the gazes of many cultivators became tense. "Even among the three hundred and forty-seven people participating in the battle, only thirty-six people can stand on the challenge platform in the end!"
"Thirty-six?"
"Three hundred and forty-seven people, and only thirty-six people can stand on the stage?"
"A 90% elimination rate? Isn't that too cruel? And this is a real elimination between elite warriors? "
.....
The moment Yue Yuan finished speaking, the three hundred and forty-seven cultivators and the hundreds of elders who had brought them here all began to discuss among themselves. It was as if a boiling pot had exploded in the square in front of the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's mansion.
Most of them were surprised, and there was even a trace of dissatisfaction in their surprise.
Although the Suzaku Thousand Year Elite Battle had only gone through one elimination round and one soul battle, every battle was a life and death battle where all the cultivators had to use their full strength. After the first two rounds, only 300 of the 50 thousand elites were left. Now, among the 300 or so true elites, nine out of ten had been eliminated. This was where the dissatisfaction came from.
Ling Dong was also a bit surprised when he heard the elimination rate, but he didn't complain. At present, with their strength, they could only be the ones who were bound by the rules. This was a path that everyone had to go through. When they grew up, they had to be the ones who set the rules. However, this height was not something that everyone could reach.
"The real test has come. All of you must be careful when you face the challenge. If you can stay on the stage where only thirty-six people can stand, not only me, but even the Lord Heavenly Monarch will reward you handsomely. "
At this point, Di Nankun's voice became serious. "Because this free challenge directly affects the number of auxiliary star realms in each star realm."
Just as the seven martialists from the Wood Sprite Realm, including Ling Dong, nodded, a thunderous roar suddenly rolled down from the sky, causing Ling Dong, Shi Qianbi, Bai Yuhan and the others to turn pale. Even Inspector Di Nankun had an uneasy expression on his face as he looked at Yue Yuan, who had shouted in the sky.
"If you don't want to and think that this free challenge is too cruel, you can give up and go home. No one will force you! However, if anyone dares to make a ruckus when I announce the rules next time, I will definitely make you … regret it! "Yue Yuan's voice was somewhat cold, but it instantly silenced the martial artists who were discussing animatedly.
"In addition to the rule that only thirty-six people can remain on the stage, there are a few other rules. Listen carefully." Yue Yuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the entire place was silent. Then, he started to talk about the rules again.
When the martialists heard that there were a few other rules besides the rule that only thirty-six people could remain on the stage, they all perked up their ears and listened carefully.
"First of all, I want to say that this free challenge will last for at least five days and half a month at most. Every martial artist, regardless of whether they took the initiative to challenge others or were challenged by others, could not be less than five times within five days.
In principle, in order to ensure the fairness of this free challenge, every martialist can only fight one battle per day. Of course, if a martialist wants to end the battle quickly, I believe that no one will stop you. "
Yue Yuan paused at this point. His gaze swept across the crowd as he said slowly, "Are you all very curious about how more than three hundred people will stay in this free challenge? It's very simple! "
"If you lose three out of the five free challenges, you will be eliminated. After five days, the remaining martialists will continue to participate in the free challenge. There will still be one battle per day with the same rules until the number of martialists on the stage reaches thirty-six! At that time, if the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh martialists are eliminated at the same time, the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh martialists will fight to determine the victor. Any other disputes will be resolved in the same way! "Yue Yuan said.
Ling Dong started to calculate when he heard the rules announced by Yue Yuan.
According to the rules mentioned by Yue Yuan, every martialist could only lose two battles at most if they wanted to become one of the thirty-six martialists on the stage. Furthermore, according to the rules mentioned by Yue Yuan, only two-thirds of the martialists could be eliminated in the first five days.
If they wanted to become one of the thirty-six martialists on the stage, every martialist would have to go through six to seven challenges. Only two losses were allowed, which was quite stressful.
Furthermore, since it was a free challenge, there was also a bit of luck involved. For example, if they were challenged by the strongest of these elites right from the start, they would be extremely unlucky.
Take Ling Dong for example. For example, Shi Qianbi, the mysterious Mo Yu, Lie Fentian, Huang Hou, Fu Dong, and the others. Against any of them, Ling Dong's chances of winning were very low.
This was especially true for Mo Yu. Aside from making Ling Dong extremely curious as to what kind of reward he would receive after being personally summoned by the Vermillion Bird Star Lord, the aura Mo Yu emitted also gave Ling Dong a lot of pressure.
If two or three of these people had challenged Ling Dong two days ago, it would have been a very terrifying matter. If they were unlucky and lost, they could only be eliminated.
"Next, I will announce the rewards for the thirty-six elite martialists who remain on the stage after winning this free challenge." When Yue Yuan said this, the hearts of the more than three hundred elite martialists in the square in front of the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion were once again in suspense.
Whether it was the elimination round or the soul battle, the rewards were very generous. How could they not look forward to the rewards of the next free challenge?
"For the thirty-six elite martialists who remain on the stage, the rewards from the sects behind them are about the same as before. The chance to enter the third floor of the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion and choose a jade talisman. As for the rewards for the thirty-six elite martialists who remain on the stage, they are very mysterious. What I can tell you is that this reward is an opportunity!
This is an opportunity that everyone, including me, and even the leading Venerable Ones from the various worlds behind you are extremely envious of. "
When Yue Yuan finished speaking, Ling Dong and the others didn't say anything. However, the expression of Inspector Di Nankun, who was beside Ling Dong, suddenly changed. He was inexplicably shocked.
"Ah, of course, when the time comes, only the thirty-six martialists who remain on the stage will know what this opportunity is. The others don't even have the qualifications to know! Alright, I'll be the host of this free-for-all competition! " The moment Yue Yuan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and ten beams of light descended from the sky. The moment they landed, they transformed into ten simple challenge stages that looked rather mystical.
However, Yue Yuan didn't introduce the challenge stages. Instead, he lowered his body slightly and said, "According to the rules of the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion, the order of this free challenge is related to the ranking of the elite martialists in the previous soul battle! The top ten martialists in the previous soul battle will be the top ten challengers in the first round. Next, I will give up my seat to introduce them to everyone! "
Yue Yuan's introduction made many martialists, including Ling Dong, frown. Wasn't this supposed to be a free challenge? Why was there a first round of challengers?
While everyone was puzzled, Yue Yuan's introduction had already begun.
"The first is Mo Yu from the Moon Deer Realm, who obtained first place in the previous soul battle. He will be on the first challenge stage to challenge other martialists!"
Ling Dong's first reaction upon hearing this introduction was that Yue Yuan was too long-winded. Yue Yuan was too long-winded.
"The second is Lie Fentian, who is proficient in fire-elemental spells. He will be on the second challenge stage! The third is Huang Hou from the Earth Deer Realm. He will be on the third challenge stage! "
At this point, Yue Yuan's voice suddenly rose an octave. "The person I want to introduce to everyone is Ling Dong from the Wood Deer Realm, who obtained fourth place in the soul battle. Ling Dong is a young genius with a profound cultivation base. What's even rarer is that he is proficient in fire-elemental spells and is extremely proficient in Innate Spirit Fire. It is said that he is the number one Innate Spirit Fire cultivator among the younger generation … "
When he heard this introduction, Ling Dong's face suddenly sank. The moment he smelled Yue Yuan's conspiracy, a piercing gaze that could burn one's skin shot toward Ling Dong. (To be continued.
