The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 122: 18 Forward

The 7th night, Qin Wentian, and Luo Chen stood in a triangular position, facing each other on the 9th towering platform.

7th Night was a rather beautiful young lady. The corners of his mouth were tilted upwards into a slight smile, making him extremely handsome. However, being one of the Seven Nights Snow Cloud Country at his age naturally made his strength unquestionable.

Duo Prides, Three Swords, Seven Nights. They all enjoyed the same prestige as the 10 wonders of the Royal Capital. Only in the Snowcloud Country would this top elite be further separated into more distinct categories.

The Duo Prides had the highest number of talents, the Three Swords were all genius Sword Users, while the Seven Nights each had their own areas of specialization, and possessed extremely high levels of martial prowess.

"You two better not bully a weak girl like me."

7th Night looked at Qin Wentian and Luo Cheng with a light smile that gave off his boundless appeal, causing others to be unwilling to attack him. In fact, there were many people who were easily deceived by his smile during the battle.

"One of you two, leave the platform."

Luo Cheng calmly interrupted, causing 7th Night to freeze, before he smiled again and replied, "If you are so confident, then why don't the two of you fight, and eliminate the others?"

Luo Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and the aura around his body became extremely sharp. The pressure from the 8th Arterial Circulation increased forward, and against all expectations, it continued to surge.

"Level 9 Arterial Circulation." The pressure Luo Cheng released broke through the limit of level 8 and stepped into level 9. Before this, he had hidden his original cultivation base, suppressing it to level 8 to battle. But regardless, with his suppressed cultivation, he still managed to reach this point, leaving only himself, the 7th Night, and Qin Wentian on the platform.

“No wonder Luo Cheng was so confident; with his ruthless battle methods and incredible battle experience, the, he could manifest such a high level of martial prowess just by using the suppressed 8th level Arterial Circulation. Now that his full cultivation base was released, it was needless to say that his martial prowess had risen another level as well. Naturally, it was certain that he was now stronger than Jiang Xiu from the 10 prodigies. "

The spectators thought in their hearts that since that was the case, it was no wonder Luo Cheng could be so confident. He even went so far as to state that between the 7th Night and Qin Wentian, one of them would be eliminated.

7th Night stuck out his tongue when he saw Luo Cheng's real cultivation base. After which, he glanced at Qin Wentian as he smiled, "He wants us to fight, what do you think?"

"Of course, if you ask me, you two should engage in battle instead." Qin Wentian smiled as he replied, causing the 7th Night to grimace, "You two, actually have cheeks that I want to fight?"

Luo Cheng and Qin Wentian remained silent, as if they were waiting for something.

"Alright, since you want me to fight, then my battle will be." The 7th night appeared as if he had been persecuted, as he smiled at Qin Wentian. "I chose you then. You must show me compassion, okay? "

Qin Wentian smiled but did not reply. On Jun Lin Banquet's platform, he would never believe that timid smile.

7th Night stepped forward as he slowly walked in front of Qin Wentian, releasing his Astral Soul. After going through so many battles, he had never met someone who could make him feel threatened. And whenever he engaged in a battle that could excite him, he always won over his opponents.

It is best not to underestimate those who have been able to reach this stage .. Not only that, the 7th Night was one of the Seven Nights in the Snowcloud Country.

And at this moment, Qin Wentian felt as if he was under the influence of an illusion. The body of the 7 Nights seemed to be split apart, as several Night 7 clones appeared in his line of sight.

As he sensed the illusory effects, Qin Wentian could sense the existence of danger. This was most likely an ability bestowed on the 7 Nights by his Astral Soul.

Qin Wentian had tried many times to instill his Astral Soul power in his innate technique. How could he not understand what he was facing? Closing his eyes, he voluntarily gave up his sight when facing the 7th Night.

It was then that he saw 7th Night spread out his palms. The manifestation of the ice python flew over to Qin Wentian, trying to devour him, moving at lightning-fast speed.

Qin Wentian's legs were slightly wobbly as he amazingly executed the Garuda Movement Technique, dodging to the side.

7th Night followed after Qin Wentian with a cold attack that caused Qin Wentian to involuntarily shudder.

The surrounding air temperature dropped rapidly as the ice spear suddenly stabbed out, shutting in the surrounding space in front.

Each ice spear emitted an aura of extreme sharpness, and even the sound of the billowing wind seemed to provide evidence of the power of the spear's attack.

7th Night knew that Qin Wentian was adept at controlling battle rhythms. Therefore, he decided to take the initiative instead, controlling the battle by carrying out a ferocious attack against Qin Wentian.

It was as if layers of ice and snow had covered Qin Wentian's body. Previously, when he had obtained victory against Luo Kaiyang and Jiang Xiu, he had only won because he had perfectly controlled the rhythm of the battle, and knew when to seize important moments. However, his opponent's current intelligence was far beyond what he had expected. Behind that sweet smile was actually a deep and cunning heart.

The Divine Yuan energy in his Arterial Path surged and seethed, as Qin Wentian's footsteps shifted in a sudden direction. Stripping on the ground hard, he turned around. With a howl of rage, the 3rd trace of the Thousand Hands Trail, the Forgotten Traces, exploded.

The terrifying palm imprint exploded, crashing into the ice spear, as both attacks disappeared into nothingness on the collision.

However, the 7th Night movement did not stop. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Qin Wentian. At the same time, he shifted his palm forward, as the manifestation of an ice python once again flew towards Qin Wentian.

At this moment, Qin Wentian's closed eyes suddenly opened. Waves of terrifying pressure gushed out, as 7th Night, for a moment, felt his spirit tremble as he seemingly stepped into the dream.

Continuous waves of Sea Traces whirled out from Qin Wentian's palm, as a terrifying aura caused 7th Night to unhesitatingly retreat. He gave up on continuing the battle, and returned to where he came from before he started fighting against Qin Wentian.

"Tough, I won't play with you anymore."

7th Night laughed, as he looked towards Luo Cheng.

"Hey, I've already exchanged blows with him, isn't it your turn to fight with him now? It's only fair if you do, right? "7th Night screaming.

"This 7th night is quite interesting." The audience laughed. The feeling 7th Night gave was not like that of a monstrous elite, but rather a naive and adorable young lady.

Luo Cheng stared shifted and landed onto Qin Wentian. As he walked towards Qin Wentian, a curved sword made from Astral Light appeared in his hand.

As he lunged forward, the sword in his hand remained motionless. Without using any innate techniques, the distance between Luo Cheng and Qin Wentian became increasingly shorter.

Looking at the seemingly unconcerned Qin Wentian, Luo Cheng's brows twitched as his gaze became as sharp as a sword.

His sword was finally released. However, it was not as simple as cutting straight away. Instead, his sword unexpectedly slashed from the bottom up at a strange angle. This path of attack was extremely difficult to defend against. If Qin Wentian wanted to dodge this attack, he would have to deliberately move some bones in his body.

"Buzz." A raging wind billowed only to see Qin Wentian's body soaring into the sky. At the same time, the energy he stored in his palm also exploded. With the perfect Stellar Meridian device, the smooth flow of his attack energy was ferocious and incomparable.

"What?" The faces of the spectators froze, as they seemed to see the faint illusion of a pair of Garuda Wings behind Qin Wentian's body. This fellow had actually condensed his Garuda Mark successfully, and must have hunted countless flying-type demonic beasts before he could reach such a state.

Luo Cheng's face was also slightly shaky. His attitude made it seem as if he was about to split everything apart, and he slashed his sword in midair. Suddenly, a roar roared as Luo Cheng stumbled.

"explosions."

A palm landed behind Luo Cheng, on his back. Instantly, his entire body was encased by a layer of ice. His face paled as an expression of unwillingness flashed across his eyes.

"Ups, did you admit defeat?" The 7th night laughed happily as he spoke. Luo Cheng shivered in the cold, as Qin Wentian stood in front of him, calmly watching him, not taking the opportunity to deliver the attack.

Luo Cheng naturally understood that he no longer had the choice to choose.

"I admit defeat." Luo Cheng spoke, as 7th Night released him, releasing his palm. Luo Cheng regained the use of his body, and had an unsightly face on his face.

Turning his head, he glanced at 7th Night. "Is there any meaning behind using such cheating techniques to achieve victory?"

"of course. This way, I can proceed to the next round and fight with even stronger opponents. How could it mean nothing in this? ”The 7th night continued to laugh, causing Luo Cheng to fall silent.

Filled with unwillingness, Luo Cheng walked out of the platform.

And thus on the 9th platform, the two people who managed to advance were Qin Wentian and 7th Night.

"Hey, if we meet again as opposed to the next round, I won't hold back, okay?" The 7th night looked towards Qin Wentian as he laughed happily.

The corner of Qin Wentian's mouth twitched in a depressed laugh as he nodded. "I'll wait for you."

"okay." The 7th night smiled, as he turned his gaze to the 8th platform.

At this moment, the battle between 6th Night and Yu Fei had ended.6th Night was the winner.

And unexpectedly, in the battle between Luo Huan and Ye Zhi, Luo Huan was the victor.

"Indeed, those from the Star Emperor Academy cannot be underestimated. It was a pity about Luo Cheng. And the battle between Yu Fei and the 6th Night was intense. Thinking that Luo Huan actually hid his strength and won against the seventh prodigy – Ye Zhi. ”Many people quietly sighed. They were still very shocked from the previous battle between Luo Huan and Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi, who was ranked 7th among the 10 prodigies, was naturally not weak in battle. But the fact was like that, he was still defeated by Luo Huan.

As for the reason behind his defeat, the spectators were also very clear about this. The dual Astral Soul of Luo Huan, was indeed not simple.

At this moment, the remaining 18 who advanced all appeared. The identities of most of those who had advanced fell in the crowd's previous predictions. However, there were three dark horses among them.

Qin Wentian, who had defeated Jiang Xiu.

Luo Huan, who had defeated Ye Zhi.

Gu Xing, a cold-looking young man, who actually defeated the 5th Night in the battle on the 6th towering platform.

And currently, the 18 who had advanced were: 11 from Chu: Emperor Star Academy – Luo Qianqiu, Orchon, Qin Wentian, Luo Huan. Pious General Martial Palace – Hou Tie, Leng Ya. Royal Academy – Shi Jun, Chu Chen. Wind God Academy – Jiang Feng, Kuang Dao, Kuang Sheng, and lastly, Gu Xing with an unknown background.

7 From Snowcloud: Sikong Mingyue from Duo Prides, 2nd Sword, 3rd Sword, 3rd Night, 4th Night, 6th Night and 7th Night.

Those who had come together with Crown Prince Snowcloud were absolute elites. Since only a few people had come, almost all of them had managed to advance to the 2nd round.

After this, half of these 18 people would be eliminated further, leaving only the top nine. Those who managed to obtain the top nine ranks would be able to receive rewards.

Drunken Wonder (a branch of Heaven's Wonder), recalculated the list of bet values for the finalists, for people who bet on who among the 18 would make it to the top nine.

The names Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue did not appear on the list. This shows that Miracle Drunken is absolutely certain that both of them will definitely rank in the top nine.

Naturally, Qin Wentian's name also appeared on the list. The payout rate is 1:4, apparently on the upside. This showed that Miracle Heaven still did not believe in Qin Wentian's ability to win. After all, two of the nine positions were already locked by Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue, and the others were all monstrous elites.

Not only that, if nothing unexpected happened, Orchon, the 2nd Sword, the 3rd Sword, the 3rd Night, and the 6th rank Jiang Feng prodigy, were all at the same time, it should easily be able to rank in the top nine positions, leaving only two slots remaining.

Thus, the battles of the other elites would definitely be extremely intense.

As for the list of betting values for the top position, Qin Wentian's payout rate is staggering –1:400. This means that if you bet one Yuan Meteor Stone, and Qin Wentian somehow managed to get the top spot, Heaven's Wonder will pay you 400 Yuan Meteor Stones in return.

Clearly, Heaven's Wonder had already determined that Qin Wentian's chances of getting ranked number one in Jun Lin Banquet were already close to zero!
