After winning 20 rounds, Jiang Feng returned to his waiting room and checked on the number of remaining contestants.
Only 128 people were currently left.
It seemed that after winning one more round, he could then prepare for the finals.
These hundred-odd people were all elites. After the Tianji Leaderboard’s next refresh, most of the top 100 would be born from those that had reached this stage.
After resting for a bit, his 21st match had begun.
This time, he encountered another acquaintance of his.
There were three players on the Tianji Leaderboard that went to look for the treasure in Wuwang Peak. They were Chuge, Stanza, and Lingjie.
He had already killed Chuge at the Ruins of the Godlike. He was not sure where he was right now.
He had just killed Stanza, and now he encountered Lingjie. It seemed that enemies were bound to meet each other eventually.
“You!” The moment that Lingjie came in, he had the same expression as Stanza.
“Are you happy?”
Lingjie’s face instantly darkened. ‘What the hell do you mean? After stealing my stuff, you have the courage to ask me if I’m happy?’
“Give them to me, or I’ll kill you!” Lingjie said to Jiang Feng coldly.
“Can we change to another dialogue? Every time some of you say that you’ll all end up dead in my hands.”
“Stop wasting my time!” Lingjie said that and immediately attacked Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng took out the Chengying Sword and met him in combat.
While Lingjie was ranked 59 on the Tianji Leaderboard, he was still very far behind when compared to someone like Huaxie.
When facing him, Jiang Feng was very calm because he did not treat him as an enemy that was worth his time.
And just as he had expected, while Lingjie was still more powerful than Stanza, he was still no match for Jiang Feng in the end. In fact, he died even quicker than Stanza. He managed to kill him after a few punches and using a Mysticism.
Ding. Tianji World Announcement: The Tianji Tournament has already decided the top 30. The next match shall decide the Top 5. All players, please enter the gateway to enter the tournament grounds for the finals. The battles shall be streamed to the entire Great World of Tianji!”
“Just as I thought, the final champion can be decided in just one day!” Jiang Feng mumbled when he heard the system’s voice as he entered the gateway.
Whoosh!
The gateway flashed and he once again returned to the space battleground that he previously fought in.
However, the battleground was slightly different than before as well. It was much wider, about ten times the size. There were ten arenas on the battleground, and even some seats for them to rest.
It seemed like they wanted to quickly choose the Top Five.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, all the other 49 players had also appeared on the battleground.
Out of the 49 players, he knew one of them personally. And that was Xiran.
Xiran was already rank 17 on the Tianji Leaderboard. It was not weird for her to be able to enter the top 50.
He scanned his surroundings and was confused as Sus, who was ranked first on the Tianji Leaderboard, did not join the competition.
“Jiang Feng! I knew you would at least enter the top 100, I didn’t expect that you would enter the top 50!” Xiran had also noticed Jiang Feng as she walked toward him with a smile while swaying her gorgeous waist.
Jiang Feng then said humbly, “It’s all thanks to luck.”
“If we meet each other in the following rounds, don’t show me any mercy.”
“That’s what I want to say too.”
Boom!
Just as they were still talking, a giant crystal ball appeared on the battleground.
Whoosh!
As the crystal ball kept on spinning, its bright light brightened up the entire space.
“Huh?”
It was at this time when Jiang Feng observed in awe as some of the planets in space were reflecting the scenes on the battleground that they were in. It seemed that the crystal ball was some kind of a recorder, and it could broadcast all their actions to every single corner of the Great World of Tianji.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt. There is still half an hour until the tournament begins. All contestants, please draw a number from the box in front of you when you are resting. You will fight in the arena of that number!
As soon as the system’s voice finished saying that, a box suddenly appeared right in front of Jiang Feng.
Looking at the box in front of him, he put his hand inside and grabbed a number.
When he pulled his hand out, there was an orb that looked similar to the Dragonball that he had forged in his hand. On it was written the number 37.
That meant that he was going to fight in the third round at arena number 7.
He glanced at Xiran next to him. She had picked up number 3. That meant that after half an hour, it would immediately be her turn.
“All the best!” Jiang Feng cheered her on.
“Thank you,” Xiran thanked him and then walked toward the resting area. She then picked a seat and sat down, preparing herself for the next battle.
Jiang Feng was already at his peak and there was no need to prepare himself. Instead, he began to look around at the other 48 contestants that were of various shapes and sizes.
Among them, other than Sus, and Huaxie whom he defeated, all eight of the remaining Top 10 on the Tianji Leaderboard were here.
However, they were even more powerful than before.
Among them, the most powerful was Wanke, who had reached Earth Realm Six Stars, his combat rating was at 5,581.
Next was Ladilafu, Kalosi and Leibate…
Other than these eight, he had no need to be afraid of anyone else.
Especially those in the top five. They were like a wall in front of him. If he wanted to complete this path, he would then need to push over these walls despite the great difficulty!
“I have to become the champion no matter what!”
Becoming Champion was very alluring to Jiang Feng. As long as he could become the champion, he would gain plenty of benefits. But what he wanted the most was reputation.
It does not matter if he wanted to exchange for items or use them for the lottery, reputation was something that he needed.
Just when the fifty elites were preparing themselves, the entire Great World of Tianji was watching this year’s tournament.
Yinke, who was sitting on the roof of the mansion, raised her head and looked at the image in the sky. When the image switched to Jiang Feng, he then said, “Jiang Feng, all the best!”
The Lunar Wolf King who had already returned also raised up its head as it lay next to Yinke. He looked at Jiang Feng and howled as he raised his head, and then continued to lay down. However, his pair of eyes stared at the image with undivided attention.
Zheng City. Chuge looked up at the image in the sky from within his residence.
He had also joined the tournament, but what angered him was that he encountered Shaoqiu in the third round, and he was eliminated from the competition.
“It’s him!”
At this time, he suddenly saw Jiang Feng and yelped out with disbelief.
To him, the reason that Jiang Feng was able to kill him was all because he borrowed outside power. His true power was below his.
But what made him look on with disbelief was that a man like him was able to enter the top 50. He could not really accept it, and it made him feel even worse.
***
Tianshui Planet.
Huaxie watched the competition through her computer.
Unlike Chuge, she was not surprised to see Jiang Feng there. It was like she expected him to be there.
“That man seemed to have used high-rank Mysticisms when we fought. So, it isn’t that strange for him to be able to kill me and enter the top 50. I’m curious to see how far you can go!” Huaxie became interested as she stared at Jiang Feng on her screen.
