"Gulp …"
A faint gurgling sound came from Yue Yuan's throat. Yue Yuan's chest suddenly swelled, and then suddenly shrank back. However, his throat kept moving up and down, and his face suddenly became a little pale.
If someone were to carefully observe Yue Yuan's situation at this time, they would discover that after Yue Yuan suddenly came to his senses, he was so depressed that he vomited blood. However, it was the kind of vomiting blood where one's teeth were knocked out and blood was swallowed.
However, vomiting blood did not mean that this matter was over. What would make Yue Yuan even more embarrassed was yet to come.
"Chi … Chi …"
"Pfft … pfft …" Uncontrollable laughter suddenly burst out in the square in front of Star Monarch Vermillion Bird's mansion. However, all of these laughs had one thing in common, and that was that they disappeared as quickly as they appeared. Many of the martial artists covered their mouths and laughed, then they quickly put on a serious expression and pretended as if they had never laughed.
The main reason was that Di Nankun's last sentence, "Saying that you have a pig's brain is an insult to a pig's brain," was too sarcastic. Many martial artists were stunned for a moment before they reacted.
Not to mention others, even the expression of Yuan Chengqi, the Venerable of the Earth Deer World, who had a livid expression, melted at this moment. After the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times, he put on a gloomy expression.
The reason why everyone pretended like this was mainly because they were afraid of Yue Yuan, the host. Every laughter was extremely mocking to Yue Yuan. Moreover, Yue Yuan was known for being narrow-minded. The martial artists had to be on guard against him.
However, Yue Yuan's ears were very sensitive, especially at this moment. Even the slightest laughter turned into an extremely strong mockery in his ears.
However, this was not the most embarrassing moment for Yue Yuan.
"Yue Yuan, have you counted clearly? If you have, correct the result as soon as possible. Ling Dong is an elite martial artist of my Wood Spider World. If he is wrongly forced out of the elite battle like this, I'm afraid that Celestial Lord Di will not let me off easily. "Di Nankun added a reasonable request at the right time.
However, this reasonable request made Yue Yuan curse with hatred. Where possible, one should be lenient. Di Nankun, why are you holding on to this little weakness and not letting it go? Isn't it just a mistake? Everyone is well aware of it, yet you still want me to correct it?
Sometimes, the best way to show one's courage was not to correct one's mistakes, but to admit one's mistakes in public.
However, Yue Yuan just couldn't remain calm. His face was so hot that it could cook an egg.
"Ling Dong's current battle record is …" At this point, Yue Yuan fiercely bit his lips, and he didn't even notice a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. "His battle record is three losses out of seven. This old man … this old man … was confused!" After saying this, Yue Yuan's face turned purple.
"Seven battles, three losses. I say, Supremacy Yue Yuan, your intelligence has finally returned. Seven battles, three losses. In the sixth battle, Ling Dong's record was two losses. Therefore, it was impossible for Ling Dong to be eliminated today. Whether or not he could be eliminated would depend on the results of the other martial artists tomorrow. Supremacy Yue Yuan, am I right? "Di Nankun, on the other hand, was still trying to play the victim.
"Yes!" Yue Yuan bit his lips and snorted coldly.
"Mm, that's right. Everyone, let's continue!" Di Nankun waved his hand in a carefree manner. Then, he turned around and gave Ling Dong an extremely comfortable smile.
At this moment, the martial artists, who were still confused, suddenly recalled something. Ling Dong, who ranked fourth in the Soul Battle, had fought two battles in a row on the first day.
In the first battle, he had lost to Lie Fentian. In the second battle, Lie Fentian had won. That was why he had a record of three losses out of seven battles in six days. It was also because they had calculated this beforehand that Ling Dong and Di Nankun had been so confident.
The only thing that Ling Dong and Di Nankun hadn't expected was that Yue Yuan had been so pleased with himself in order to make Ling Dong suffer. However, who could have known that Yue Yuan was truly pleased with himself?
Yue Yuan had been extremely pleased with himself the night before when he had obtained a huge amount of Seven-Origin Earth Dust. To a certain extent, this had affected Yue Yuan's judgment today. As the saying went, extreme joy begets sorrow.
After this brief interlude, although the free challenge competition was even more brutal, it also sped up significantly. Compared to his cheerful mood early in the morning, Yue Yuan's old face had been dark since the start of the free competition. He hadn't revealed a single trace of a smile since.
He had lost a lot of face that day.
Ling Dong naturally didn't have anything to do with the free challenge competition. He just watched the battles quietly. Even Ling Dong sucked in a breath of cold air as the bloody battles played out one after another.
There was a pair of martial artists who had been facing elimination. The loser would be eliminated, so they had actually perished together in the end. Another pair had done the same. In the end, one of them had survived. Naturally, the one who survived had won.
However, this sort of victory was a pyrrhic one. Not only had the martialist lost a leg forever, but his consciousness had also been severely damaged. His gaze had also become unfocused. This sort of injury would require several years of recuperation before he could recover.
After nearly sixty rounds of such brutal battles, the free challenge competition on the sixth day came to an end.
"There were fifty-eight victors in today's free challenge competition. Among them, twelve have lost their ability to fight. Under normal circumstances, forty-six will participate in tomorrow's free challenge competition. If … "
After a pause, Yue Yuan continued, "If … if the twelve who have lost their ability to fight can recover some of their ability to fight overnight, as long as you are willing and confident, I can still allow you to participate in the free challenge competition …"
After saying this, Yue Yuan's figure had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. Yue Yuan really didn't have the face to stay in this place any longer. Every moment he stayed was like being pricked by needles.
"Easier said than done …" After Yue Yuan left, Di Nankun sighed softly. He turned to look at Bai Yuhan and praised, "Yuhan, you did very well today. Since you can't win, just admit defeat and preserve your strength. After all, you have a record of zero losses in five battles and one loss in six battles. Even if you lose another battle tomorrow, it will be fine. "
"No, in tomorrow's battle, if you can't win, just admit defeat on the spot. You must preserve your strength. Tomorrow will be the final battle to decide the thirty-six. With your record, even if you lose, you will definitely enter the thirty-six. "
Bai Yuhan's heaven-defying luck came to an end on the sixth day. She lost to Fu Dong, who was ranked fifth in the Soul Battle. Similarly, Shi Qianbi also encountered a strong opponent today and lost a battle. Her record was two losses in six battles.
"Qian Bi, you have to try your best in tomorrow's battle. However, if you can't win, you have to conserve your strength. There are only forty-six warriors left in the competition. Even if you lose tomorrow, you still have a chance," Di Nankun reminded her again.
Finally, Di Nankun looked at Ling Dong. "Ling Dong, your record for tomorrow is already out. Three losses in seven battles. If you want to enter the thirty-six, you may need to fight a tough battle. You must prepare well."
As he spoke, Di Nankun had already tossed out a few elixirs to Ling Dong, Shi Qianbi, and Bai Yuhan. He said, "Take these elixirs. Although they are not top-notch elixirs, they can completely heal your minor injuries overnight. Also, from now on, start to restore your cultivation. Don't pity the Reiki. It's not enough! "
"Yes, we will follow the orders of the Inspector (Master)." As they responded, Ling Dong and the other two found a place to sit down cross-legged. Each of them held two mid-grade Reiki in their hands and started to restore their cultivation.
Shi Qianbi and Bai Yuhan were still fine. They only had one Astral Soul. Even without the Reiki, they could almost recover their cultivation overnight. However, Ling Dong had five Astral Souls. All of them were exhausted. Even if he used the Reiki, it would be difficult for him to recover in one night.
Time flew by quickly. The seventh day of the free challenge competition began with Yue Yuan's cold shout. The rules were simple. Those who lost more battles were free to challenge other martialists to ensure fairness.
As expected, there were only forty-six martialists. How could these Qui Star Realm martialists have the priceless elixirs that could heal a martialist's injuries overnight?
On the seventh day of the free challenge competition, Ling Dong was also a spectator. Ling Dong's record was already three losses out of seven battles.
Compared to the sixth day of the free challenge competition, the seventh day of the free challenge competition was two extremes. Some of the martialists had a sense of propriety. Gold Spirit Substitute Fu Po admitted defeat. Bai Yuhan was a typical example of this type of martialist.
There was also a group of cultivators who fought extremely bloody battles. Some cultivators did not even hesitate to burn their blood essence to increase their strength in a short period of time. Cultivators who used secret techniques to increase their strength could be found everywhere on the seventh day.
Under such circumstances, the battles between martialists who were about to be eliminated were countless times more tragic. There was even a pair of martialists who perished together.
In less than four hours, the forty-six martialists had a winner.
"Of the forty-six martialists who participated today, there are still forty-four left. One of them won all seven battles. This martialist is Mo Yu. Two of them lost all seven battles. They are Huang Hou and Fu Dong. These three are the top three of the thirty-six martialists.
Of the remaining martialists, there are twenty-seven who lost all seven battles. Of these twenty-seven, there are also thirty-six martialists. Apart from them, the rest are martialists who lost all seven battles. There are fourteen of them. These fourteen martialists who lost all seven battles will compete for the last six spots of the thirty-six martialists tomorrow … "
Hearing Yue Yuan's announcement, Di Nankun breathed a sigh of relief. If there were no accidents, there would be three martialists from his Woodbine Field entering the thirty-six martialists this time.
Today, Bai Yuhan and Shi Qianbi had successfully entered the thirty-six martialists. Only Ling Dong, who had to compete for the last six spots tomorrow, was left.
Although the six spots were being contested by fourteen people, in Di Nankun's opinion, among the fourteen people, it would be extremely heaven-defying if there were at most ten people participating in the battle. All fourteen people were injured, and a few of them were seriously injured.
And with Ling Dong's strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to win another match. Because in this kind of free-for-all competition, the martialist with the most losses would definitely be the one with the lowest strength. Of course, Ling Dong was an exception, as he had always been fighting against the strongest.
.....
"The last six names of the thirty-six martialists have been decided. Chu Mengxian, Ling Dong, Tian Hongan … a total of six martialists. The free-for-all competition has come to a successful conclusion …" Yue Yuan announced the results through gritted teeth.
Yue Yuan had been plotting against Ling Dong since the start of the free-for-all competition. He wanted to kill Ling Dong, or at least eliminate Ling Dong from the Elite Battle. However, Yue Yuan had failed to achieve any of his goals. One could imagine how depressed he was.
After announcing the results of the free-for-all competition with gritted teeth, Yue Yuan's bitter and resentful expression suddenly disappeared. After putting on a calm and elegant expression, he suddenly bowed to the shadow of the Minister of the Left in the sky and said, "Minister of the Left, the free-for-all competition has ended. Minister of the Left, please show yourself and preside over the rewards!"
When they heard Yue Yuan's words, all the martialists, including Ling Dong, became excited. What were the rewards of the free-for-all competition?
