Chapter 89 – Stage Battle No. 8
The appearance of a dark horse is always satisfying to watch. The spirit of the people in Whirling Sun Square was seething. The young man named Jiang Chen had just created a miracle. At the same time, many people began to worry about Jiang Chen's safety. It was clear that Jiang Chen had offended Nan Bei Chao and Liang Xiao, and these two men were not someone easy to deal with, especially Nan Bei Chao, the rising star rose in the overbearing and arrogant Qi Province.
All the disciples of the four great sects looked at Jiang Chen with mixed emotions. Jiang Chen's offering had made them all lose face. The Qi Province match had been held for many years, and this was the first time the first place had been taken by an outsider.
The first round of the match is over, and the second round is coming. A fierce competition will take place on the stage of battle, and this is what most people look forward to, because the real genius will be able to become a king at the fighting stage. Although Jiang Chen had occupied first place in the first round, when it came to the battle stage, no one was optimistic about him. Being able to withstand pressure does not mean you have great combat power.
“The first round of the match has ended. All the top 30 participants stepped into the battle rankings. “
Nan Bei Chao opened his mouth and spoke. The four great geniuses moved their bodies and flew into the air, then they landed on a tall tower in the middle of the plains. In front of the tower, fifteen 2-meter-high battle stages had been built, enough for 30 participants.
This battle stage was designed and prepared exclusively for the Qi Province matches, and the program for the Qi Province matches was the same as in previous years.30 participants would fight each other in battle rank 1 at 1. 15 Battle ranks were enough for 30 participants.
the 30 participants standing near the Stairway to Heaven all walked together towards the battle stage. They are all in high spirits.
Being able to stand out among the hundreds of disciples, all of them were Late Mortal Core warriors except for Jiang Chen who was an Early Mortal Core warrior. But now, Jiang Chen was stronger than he was before he started walking on the Stairway to Heaven. The additional 6 Dragon Marks had made his combat power surge to another level, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Mortal Core realm. He was only one step away from the Mid Mortal Core realm.
In the tower, Liang Xiao stepped forward and spoke in a loud voice, “Stair to Heaven is just warming up, therefore, don't think too much about rankings. First place and 30th place are no different, the first round is just a filter for the second round. Only those who had outstanding performance in the second round could win the final prize. ”
It was clear Liang Xiao's words were addressed to Jiang Chen. The meaning is clear, the first place for the first round is meaningless, and the second round is the most important.
“Murid Senior Liang, maybe we know what his appreciation is this year?”
Someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect asked.
“Betul, tell us first, that way our motivation will be greater!”
Said someone else. The participating disciples not only looked on with hope, even the audience was also filled with hope. The Qi Province match was prepared by the four great sects, the rewards were definitely not bad.
“Alright, I'll tell you the gift now. The first place will be rewarded with three treasures: One mid-ranked combat weapon, one storage ring, and one Thousand Year Old Earth Fruit. ”
Liang Xiao's voice was powerful, and everyone on the plains could hear him clearly. When they heard about the three awards, the crowd immediately began to boil.
“Great! Indeed, something that only the four great schools can do! A mid-ranked combat weapon, even though it was the four great madhhabs, only inner circle disciples had a chance to obtain it, and now it became one of the rewards for the outer circle disciple competition! ”
“Save rings are more valuable! It's much more advanced than the stash bags we used to use! The stash ring is small and happy to carry, and it can print one's heavenly Sense, so only the owner can use it! ”
“Thousand-Year-Old Earth is rarer, I hear it is very difficult to plant it, and requires strict landscape conditions! It continues to absorb the energy of the earth, and has the energy core of the earth! This is a great reward! ”
…………
Surprised voices can be heard everywhere. For ordinary people, these three treasures were extremely rare, unable to even obtain them in their dreams. It was conceivable that now that this treasure had been announced as a gift, it would definitely brighten the fighting spirit of the disciples. The battles in the battle rank would be even fiercer.
Jiang Chen still had a calm expression. With his experience as the once greatest Saint in the world, there was nothing he had never seen before, so he was not concerned with mid-ranked combat weapons. But, the stash ring was something good, he was now using an ordinary savings bag, so if he got the stash ring, then it would be more convenient for him to keep his things in the future.
But what really attracted Jiang Chen was the Earth Fruit. This natural treasure is rare. The Earth Essence contained within the Thousand Year Old Earth Fruit was not much, but it was still enough for him because he was now. With the Earth Fruit combined with the benefits he had received previously, Jiang Chen was now 100% confident that he could break through to the Mid Mortal Core realm, and even go further.
Amongst the crowd, Big Yellow happily mistook the harvest while ignoring all the evil gazes around him.
“Large yellow dog, can you guess what position the youth will reach in the second round?”
Someone asked.
“Do I need to guess? Of course he'll be number one! ”
Big Yellow said casually.
“Number one? What joke! Big yellow dog, do you dare to bet once more? ”
The man immediately continued. He was afraid that Big Yellow would say no. If that were to happen, then all of his Mortality Recovery Pills would be gone forever.
Big Yellow said in a serious tone. No one noticed, but deep within the eyes of this dog, there was a sneaky hidden look.
“Haha, this dog must be afraid! Ratio 1 to 2, it seemed that he did not believe the young man too much! That brat is only an Early Mortal Core warrior, I believe he is no match for the Little Demon King and Li Wu Shuang! There's no way he's number one! I will be risking the rest of my money, 100 Mortal Restoration Pills! ”
“Betul! This big yellow dog had lost his confidence, he lowered the ratio to 1 to 2! He was afraid that if the young man was defeated in the match, then he would lose all of his wealth! Let's bet, what to fear? ”
“I'll also bet, shit, your dad wants to win it all!”
At the moment, those who come are betting too much more than in the first round. Those who died in the first round hoped they could win it back in the second round, and those who did not bet on the first round did not want to miss this opportunity. No one really believed that Jiang Chen could be number one. In fact, being able to withstand some pressure and being able to defeat the Little Devil King were two different things.
Seeing what was happening, Big Yellow's mouth was wide open so that the corners reached the back of his ears. This evil-minded dog was once again successful with his plans. He deliberately lowered the betting ratio, letting others think that he was nervous, then making them feel that it was safe to hand over their Mortal Restoration Pills.
“Kaka, I'm really smart! A simple business like this excites me! ”
Big Yellow was proud of himself. He felt that he was the most brilliant creature in the world, no creature more intelligent than himself. If there was a mirror in front of him, Big Yellow would kneel in front of his own image.
All 30 participants were ready, they were now just waiting for Nan Bei Chao's direction.
Nan Bei Chao poked a step forward. He casually waved his hand, making the 30 plates made of green wood fly parallel. The back of the plate faces each participant.
“It's 30 plates, on it there are numbers from 1 to 15. You will choose one randomly. Participants who get the same number will fight each other on stage. “Nan Bei Chao explained. This is the same rule as the previous match, many people are already aware of it.
“Brother Jiang, if we choose the same number, do not hold back your strength!”
Han Yan said with a smile.
“Of course . ”
Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
“The prize for this match is only for those who occupy the first place, but your performance and position in this match will be known by all schools. Your school will reward you individually depending on your results, therefore, everyone should fight with all their strength. “Guan Yi Yun said loudly. These words were addressed mainly to the disciples of the Black Sect.
“Alright, let's start. “Nan Bei Chao says.
30 Participants walked and chose the plate. Among these 30 participants, the number of disciples of the four great schools was about the same. Eight from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Burning Sky Pavilion, seven from the Black Sect, six from the Valley of Happiness, and Jiang Chen as the only outsiders.
Jiang Chen flipped the plate in his hand, ‘lapan’ was written on it. This means that others who have ‘lapan’ on their plate will be his opponents, and they will fight in the eighth stage of the battle.
The draw seems fair, but it is secretly controlled. Under normal circumstances, those from the same sect would not meet on stage, and they would only fight people from other sects. If it is not like this, then the competition will lose its meaning.
“I will tell you once again about the rules at this fighting level. A fight will be a death couple, and the only way to escape death is to surrender. I won't talk too much about the relationship between the four great schools, but if you have the ability, kill the opponent without giving him a chance to surrender. “Nan Bei Chao said with a cruel expression.
This was the Qi Province match rule. There was only life and death at the battle stage, and the only chance for the loser to survive was to give up.
“I number 9, who is my opponent?”
“Dad is number one, fucked up, who's dad's opponent? Come on die quickly! “
A muscular man jumped to the first stage of the battle and screamed arrogantly. He was from the Burning Sky Pavilion, and he was a Late Mortal Core warrior. His face was filled with arrogance, but the next second, when he saw who his opponent was, the arrogance disappeared from his face, and his imposing aura immediately dissipated. It felt as if his bitter face was about to fall to the floor.
Because, the man standing before him was none other than the Little Demon King.
“Sial, father's fate is very bad…. I give up . “
The muscular man cussed, then he turned his head and jumped down from the fighting stage. His speed was greater than the speed he soared to the stage. Even though he was arrogant, he still knew his limits. Fighting the Little Demon King, it was no different from killing yourself.
The Burning Sky Pavilion lost a man. The rest of the men began to jump to the fighting stage. On the stage of the eighth battle, a disciple wearing the Heavenly Sword Sect uniform jumped onto the stage.
