The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 131': The Top Nine

At this moment, only nine contestants were left on the platform. Qin Wentian, Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue, 2nd Sword, Orchestra, Hou Tie, Leng Ya, Chu Chen and Jiang Feng.

And two of these nine had to accept Luo Huan and Gu Xing's challenge. The winners will proceed to the next round, enjoying the glory of being the top nine contestants.

And among them, there were some who did not take part in the battle of the 2nd round. They could not be bothered to move, and no one dared to move against them. Some examples are Luo Qianqiu, Orchon and Hou Tie.

In the 2nd round, these examples did not even experience a single battle. Qin Wentian was in most of the battles that took place. After his performance, all the spectators looked at him with a new look. Right now, Qin Wentian already had half a foot in the top nine rank, or it would be better to say that he was already ranked in the top nine.

Many of them were impressed by him. And in the Royal Capital, almost everyone already knew that this young man, Qin Wentian – who came from Sky Harmony City – only enrolled in the Star Emperor Academy a year ago, he said, a full year was less compared to Luo Qianqiu's two years!

"You two, start picking your opponent." The old figure beside Chu Tianjiao spoke.

After Luo Huan finished his healing, he opened his eyes and laughed full of charm. After which, he stood up and lightly nodded towards Mo Qingcheng, showing his gratitude. The grade-2 top tier medicinal pill that Mo Qingcheng had given him could be considered a magic pill. The injury he had sustained in the previous battle had already completely healed, allowing him to regain his original level of strength within a short span of time.

And as for Gu Xing, he was not injured at all. He voluntarily surrendered in the previous battle after Qin Wentian had won. From the audience's predictions, Gu Xing would most likely be part of the last top nine position. No one dared to underestimate him even though he was not self-effacing.

Both are on the platform. Luo Huan chose the rank 6 prodigy Jiang Feng, while Gu Xing chose Leng Ya from the G.o.dly General Martial Palace as his opponent.

Their choice was not surprising at all. If the audience chose, they would also choose from Jiang Feng, Leng Ya, or Chu Chen. However, little prince Chu Chen must have many hidden trump cards for unexpected situations. It was logical for Luo Huan and Gu Xing to challenge the other two instead.

And with regards to the outcome of the final battle, Gu Xing defeated Leng Ya, while Luo Huan who had just recovered from the injury, also defeated Jiang Feng.

Luo Huan was even stronger than Jiang Feng, but was easily defeated by Sikong Mingyue. They were all geniuses, yet the difference between them was this big.

After Luo Huan defeated Jiang Feng, all the prodigies that joined Jun Lin Banquet this year had been completely eliminated.

This scenario is not surprising to see. After all, in the cruel cultivation world, one would naturally retreat if one failed to advance.

There are 10 members in the ranks of the 10 prodigies. The first five had already broken through to Yuanfu, while the last five had all been eliminated during Jun Lin Banquet this year.

Luo Qianqiu, Orchon, Qin Wentian, Luo Huan, Hou Tie, Chu Chen – all of them will be able to replace the position of the fallen prodigy.

And at the same time, the top nine rankings were finally launched. The top nine contestants are: Sikong Mingyue, 2nd Sword, Luo Qianqiu, Orchon, Qin Wentian, Luo Huan, Hou Tie, Chu Chen and Gu Xing.

And of the remaining contestants, two were from Snowcloud Country — Sikong Mingyue and 2nd Sword. At the same time, both of them were extremely frightening existences. Sikong Mingyue could almost certainly be ranked third, and the 2nd Sword had a high possibility of being ranked third as well.

And there were a total of seven that came from Chu.

The most brilliant one was still the Emperor Star Academy. Because among those in the top nine, there were a total of four who were from Emperor Star Academy.

Luo Qianqiu, Orchon, Qin Wentian and Luo Huan!

There is no weakness among the four.

Emperor Star Academy truly deserved its reputation as the number one martial academy in Chu. This reputation accumulated over the years, and as they often produced elites and geniuses, many unpolished gems would also be very willing to enroll in Emperor Star Academy.

And for Chu – besides the contestants of the Star Emperor Academy – the pious General Martial Academy has Hou Tie, and the Royal Academy also has Chu Chen. At the very least, the Royal Clan would still have some face given that the other two martial academies were running their support.

Not only that, there was still a young man with a mysterious background – Gu Xing.

The remaining nine contestants had no hint of satisfaction on their faces. They all knew that the battle in the 3rd round would definitely be more brutal.

These remaining nine would compete for their ultimate position in Jun Lin's final round of Banquet.

They might face opponents like Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue, or even the 2nd Sword.

And the battle in the 3rd round, be it intensity, or difficulty, would naturally surge beyond measure as well.

And at this moment, from the back of Emperor Chu's Seat, a total of nine people walked towards the platform.

These nine people each had a small case, and in the middle of that small case, there were jade tokens sent to each of the nine remaining contestants.

And, one of the nine also appeared in front of Qin Wentian. After which, the person spoke, "Take your name on it."

Qin Wentian naturally understood the rules of Jun Lin's Banquet. He did not say anything as he carved three words, 'Qin Wentian', onto the jade token.

After that, they immediately left the platform, while leaving the case with nine tokens on top of the platform.

"Who would do the last honor?" Chu Tianjiao, sitting in Emperor Chu's Seat, glanced over as she smiled at the crowd

"Let me do it." A powerful expert from the Ye Clan stood up.

"We must trouble Senior Liuyang to do so." Chu Tianjiao smiled. Liuyang

Liuyang took out three jade tokens at random and placed them in his hand. With a gentle push of his palm, three jade tokens floated in the air, and the names engraved on the tokens appeared in front of the crowd.

"Luo Qianqiu, 2nd Sword, Luo Huan."

As the three names were shown, the spectators could not hold their breath for Luo Huan. He was really lucky to be grouped with Luo Qianqiu and the 2nd Sword.

The 3rd round of Jun Lin Banquet would be a group fight. The nine contestants will be divided into three groups, and the contestants in each group will then fight each other to determine who will be the first, second and third.

After that, those who obtained the first position of each group would proceed to the strongest stage, and fight for the top three positions.

For those who reached the 2nd position of each group, they would go on and fight for the 4th to 6th position.

And for those who obtained the last position of each group, they would then fight for the 7th to 9th position.

Luo Huan needed to contend with Luo Qianqiu and the 2nd Sword to determine his rank. He was really unlucky because he had a high probability of being ranked last in this group.

Ye Liuyang pulled the other three jade tokens and caused them to float in the air again. This time, the spectators had strange expressions on their faces and they could not help but glance at Qin Wentian.

Earlier, Qin Wentian aimed the ancient spear straight at Sikong Mingyue. His intention to fight was extraordinary.

And now, they finally had a chance to fight. The 2nd group consisted of Sikong Mingyue, Qin Wentian and Chu Chen.

Since the names of the first two groups had been revealed, the spectators were already able to guess from who the last group was. But apart from this, Ye Liuyang still performed the same procedure, allowing the jade token to float through the air. The last group consisted of the remaining three contestants – Orchon, Gu Xing and Hou Tie.

The grouping of the 3rd round caused the audience to be filled with intense anticipation. Regardless of those groupings, they were enough to make the crowd feel that their blood was boiling with excitement.

Luo Qianqiu, 2nd Sword, Luo Huan.

Sikong Mingyue, Qin Wentian, Chu Chen.

Orchon, Gu Xing, Hou Tie.

As Qin Wentian stood on the platform, he felt an evil gaze filled with sharpness locking onto him. Shifting his gaze, he found Sikong Mingyue walking towards him. Even before the battle began, killing intent could already be felt in the air.

At this moment, in the Chu Emperor District, in the Jadeite Dragon Azit Chair, Chu Tianjiao stood up with a smile, "Let me begin by announcing the rules of this year's Jun Lin Banquet final round. All contestants will fight in their groups to determine who will be number one, number two and number three ”

"For number three, they will compete for Banquet Jun Lin's top three rankings."

“For three paired numbers, they will compete for the 4th to 6th place.

"And for three number three, rank 7 through 9."

“In addition, those ranked 7th will have a single chance to challenge those ranked 4th. The one ranked 4th would also have the chance to challenge those in the top three rankings. ”

Chu Tianjiao explained, as she confirmed the rules of the final round.

“OK, this is it for today. We will continue the final round of Banquet Jun Lin tomorrow. ”Chu Tianjiao announced, causing many disgruntled spectators and displeased expressions on their faces.

What did he do, the grouping of the last round had been determined, but they still had to wait another day to see the final battle? This feeling is too unbearable.

"Go, let's go to Drunken Wonder to see it. Now that the grouping is determined, the payout rate can change as well, this is an opportunity! "

“True, my chance is here. This means that there will be a new payout rate calculated for each segment, I will try my luck. "

And thus, many people in the crowd headed for Drunken Wonder, preparing their bets. And within them, the majority had already made a killing from their previous bets on who would get the top nine ranks. How could they not take the chance to commit murder again this time!
