Somewhere in the starry sky.
“Elder, that rope is so strange. What should we do now?” Someone asked.
The black-bearded elder responded in a deep voice, “I’ve already shared our situation here with the rest.”
“What did the higher-ups say?” Everyone asked expectantly.
The black-bearded elder did not hide anything and said, “They want us to wait for reinforcements.”
When everyone heard this, they had guessed the higher-ups’ intentions. “Looks like a big battle is inevitable.”
The black-bearded elder said, “There’s nothing we can do about that. The Corpse Refinement Faction is in a very difficult situation.”
Someone said, “Hmph! Sooner or later, we’ll kill all those people of the so-called orthodox path.
“We merely dug up their ancestral graves. The corpses are being left anyway, why not let us have them. They won’t lose anything.”
“That’s right! They still think that it’s like we stole their Dao companion..”
“They think they’re punishing evil and advocating good? Bah! They’re just petty.”
“Never mind. Let’s not say so much.”
“Right! Elder, did the higher-ups say when the reinforcements will arrive?”
“They didn’t mention the exact time. If a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal leads the team, they should arrive in a few days.
“If not, it will take at least half a month!
“No matter what, we just have to wait.”
They waited and waited. Ten days passed.
…
“Go Mu Chen, you can do it!”
“Mu Chen, you’re the best!”
“Xiao Tian, hit him.”
“Xiao Tian, give him a good beating.”
“Hit him in the face. Don’t worry about anything. Just go for his face.”
…
The Immortal Cultivation University Sports Meet was bustling with noise and excitement.
Wang Zhixing and company had discussed the battle against the Corpse Refinement Faction a few days ago. They decided not to publicize it for the time being to avoid unnecessary panic.
The Immortal Cultivation University Sports Meet had come to the last event—combat.
There were a total of three arenas in the venue.
The rules of the competition were very simple. In one-on-one duels, if either side admitted defeat or lost the ability to fight, the match would end.
To better display the participants’ strength, the referees would give them a magical artifact before going on stage.
This magical artifact could guarantee a player’s safety. No matter how deadly the move, there was no need to worry about killing the opponent.
Hence, the participants could perform to their heart’s content.
Participants were not allowed to carry magical artifacts. Instead, weapons were provided by the organizers, which also ensured the fairness of the competition.
This event lasted six days.
It was now time for the Qi Refinement group.
The first five days were the elimination rounds. There were originally more than 5,000 participants.
After the elimination round, only 500 people had successfully advanced.
There was a reason for this high elimination rate.
The elimination rounds mainly tested the participants’ ability to fight beyond their level. And the jump was not just one or two levels.
The participants’ opponent was a puppet.
This puppet was proficient in many spells and combat techniques, and its body’s defense was also terrifying.
In particular, its cultivation level. It would always be two levels higher than the participants.
At the end of the first day of the elimination rounds, nearly 80% of the participants were eliminated.
This high elimination rate was astounding. There were many reasons, but most importantly, everyone had underestimated their opponent.
Everyone imagined the puppet as the computer bot in a game. Although they had the abilities, in a real battle, the program could not keep up with the changes, and there would be all kinds of problems.
But they were wrong.
These puppets had rich combat experience. Their agility and reflexes were even more terrifying. Furthermore, they would purposely reveal a loophole to lure people in.
They were really crafty.
Everyone thought that the puppet was a real person.
However, the contestants who advanced destroyed the puppet and saw its internal structure. That was when their suspicions were dispelled.
This puppet was dressed up as by a human.
After this, the participants no longer underestimate it.
As a result, the number of people who advanced in the next few days increased slightly.
However, the elimination rate was still very high.
Today was the official contest between the participants.
In any case, the rules of the competition were very simple. In a one-on-one duel, the winner would enter the next round, and the loser would be eliminated.
“The match in arena one is over. Mu Chen wins.”
The referee announced the results of the match.
The audience was filled with heart-wrenching screams.
“Mu Chen! Mu Chen!”
“Mu Chen! Mu Chen!”
…
Mu Chen was a mixed-blood. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a tall nose. He had the chiseled features of the West and the handsomeness of the East.
Because of his handsome appearance and outstanding strength, out of the many participants in the Qi Refinement group, he was extremely popular.
After the match in arena one ended, new participants went on stage.
This time, it was a male and a female.
There weren’t that many female participants.
Only one out of ten was female.
Females were weaker than males in terms of combat talent, so such a ratio was very normal.
As such, there were even fewer females who advanced.
Judging from the situation with the Qi Refinement group, there were less than ten of them.
Hence, when the participants’ information in arena one flashed out, it attracted a wave of cheers from the audience.
The screen above arena one showed the participants’ information.
Shen Qiangwei, female, 21 years old, North Sea District Second Cultivation University.
Dulles, male, 35 years old, the Billack First Cultivation University.
The information was simple. Name, gender, age, and school.
Shen Qiangwei was about 1.65 meters tall, and her figure was quite slim. Her measurements were quite normal. Most importantly, she was a C-cup. Among the girls, she was considered to be the best.
As for her appearance, she wasn’t outstanding. Her facial features were alright, and her skin was fair.
If she were to put on makeup, with her figure, she could be considered a beauty!
Her opponent was a muscular man who was two meters tall. He had a full beard that curled around his mouth. He looked a little like Graves.
“Hey, little girl, I’m not going to go easy on you,” Dulles said in rough Xia language.
Shen Qiangwei only smiled. As she put her hair up, she replied, “I won’t go easy on you either.”
Dulles laughed and said, “Fists have no eyes. If you become disfigured, don’t bear a grudge against me.”
Shen Qiangwei smiled coolly and said, “Uncle, if you really ruin my face, you have to take responsibility.”
Upon hearing this, Dulles deliberately sized up Shen Qiangwei, and lust surfaced on his face.
This girl’s figure is quite good. I won’t lose!
“No problem. I’ll take responsibility,” Dulles said with a hearty laugh.
At this moment, the referee said, “Shen Qiangwei, Dulles, are you ready?”
The two nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“After I announce the start of the match, you can start fighting.
“If both sides do not attack within a minute, it will be considered forfeiting.
“Got it?”
The duo nodded.
Following that, the referee flew into the air and shouted, “Begin!”
Shen Qiangwei and Dulles did not attack immediately.
“Young lady, it’s not too late to admit defeat,” Dulles said.
Shen Qiangwei asked seriously, “What if you are the one who loses in the end?”
Dulles laughed out loud. “You have quite the personality. Don’t blame me then.”
With that, Dulles drew his weapon.
Two axes, one in each hand.
Shen Qiangwei used a long sword.
These weapons were provided by the organizers, and their grades and materials were basically the same.
The match started very quickly and attracted the attention of many spectators.
