Who were Number Five and Number Six?
As soon as the Wind God Demon General finished his words, a suave figure dashed into the black arena. The crowd took a look and saw that it was the elegant Ying Shaotian. Ying Shaotian had been exceptionally talented since he was young. Before Chen Feng had broken through to the ninth level of the Reaching Heaven State, he had been one of the top young experts in the King's Palace. Even now, he was considered to be the second strongest.
Moreover, the Red Ghost King had always been high-profile among the Seven King's Palaces. Therefore, Ying Shaotian's battle immediately attracted the crowd's attention.
"Who is Number Six?"
Standing in the ring, Ying Shaotian glanced at Long Chen. He hoped that Long Chen would be Number Six. Unfortunately, Long Chen was Number Seven. Otherwise, he would definitely go up and beat him up.
"Now two people from the Qingli King's Palace are in the top twelve. Only if I beat Ying Shaotian down, the Qingli King's Palace will be ranked higher than the Red Ghost King's Palace. At that time, Yiyi won't have to marry him."
This was what Long Chen had promised King Qingli. Therefore, he had to do it properly.
Who was Number Six?
When Number Six went up, everyone was dumbfounded, because Number Six was actually also in the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State. This drawing of lots was really too coincidental. The previous two battles of the same level had been full of suspense, and had been rather exciting. But now, it was actually a battle of the same level.
"What's going on? In this case, two Reaching Heaven Realm Level Eight have been eliminated. Among the top six, there will be two Reaching Heaven Realm Level Seven. That doesn't seem to be in line with the rules."
"How is it not in line with the rules? Luck is also a big part of success. The draw is all a matter of luck. You can't rely on others. Besides, what's the big deal about the top six? The top three are the key. With luck, you can at most get into the top six. Can you get into the top three?"
The crowd started to discuss.
Seeing that Ying Shaotian's opponent wasn't Long Chen, but another Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the eighth level, the Red Ghost King's face darkened. If Ying Shaotian lost, he would definitely be defeated. Even if Long Chen and Liu Yiyi didn't make it into the top six, he would still lose.
"Chi Gui, tell me, am I, Liu Dongtian, stronger, or is your disciple Ying Shaotian stronger?"
At this moment, an old man who was about the same age as the Red Ghost King but had a more normal appearance said with a smile.
"Of course, Shaotian is the best," the Red Ghost King said decisively.
"Is that so? Then you have to work hard. Otherwise, if you kneel in front of a woman in front of so many people, you, the Red Ghost King, will be the laughingstock of the Ancient Demons Area. Haha!" The old man laughed.
"Yan Kong Old Devil, don't gloat over my misfortune." The Red Ghost King was so angry that his beard curled up.
At this time, the battle between Ying Shaotian and Liu Dongtian, a martial artist at the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State, had already begun. Ying Shaotian would be his opponent sooner or later, so Long Chen was also watching carefully.
Indeed, Ying Shaotian's strength was quite good. This could be seen from the Wind Riding Sword Finger that he had casually used previously. Of course, as the eldest disciple of the Flame Sky Royal Palace, the martial artist opposite him was also quite powerful. His powerful battle skills were able to fight Ying Shaotian to a stalemate.
The strength of these two people was even stronger than that of the two fighters in the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State at the beginning. Therefore, the fight was especially intense, and could only be described as tragic. Their figures dashed around the entire arena, attacking and defending time and time again. Strong gales were blowing, and their Battle Qi was intimidating.
This battle was indeed very exciting. The spectators were very excited.
After about half an hour, the two people in the ring were exhausted. In the end, Ying Shaotian persisted until the end and knocked his opponent out of the ring, obtaining the final victory. After he won, he looked at Long Chen with a provocative gaze, then fell back into the ring.
"Shaotian."
The Red Ghost King rushed into the arena and proudly brought his disciple away for treatment. There was still some time before the next battle, enough for Ying Shaotian to recover completely.
Ying Shaotian had already entered the top six. In other words, if both Long Chen and Liu Yiyi couldn't enter the top six, then the Qingli Royal Palace would probably lose to the Red Ghost King's Royal Palace. By then, it wouldn't be the Red Ghost King who would kneel down, but Liu Yiyi who would marry Ying Shaotian.
After Ying Shaotian left, the Divine Wind Demon announced the start of the fourth battle. Long Chen was number seven, so he was the first to go into the arena. As for his opponent, he wasn't sure.
Seeing Long Chen go into the arena, Chen Feng, who was below the arena, revealed a gloomy expression. It was obvious that his opponent wasn't Long Chen.
"It's Jiang Cheng. He can defeat a Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the seventh level with his Light Shift. As long as he meets a Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the seventh level, he'll definitely win. Among the remaining five people, there's a Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the eighth level and a Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the ninth level."
"Whether he can enter the top six or not depends on his luck."
"That's right. Only the top three rarely depend on luck. The final champion can't be won by luck."
While the crowd was discussing, Long Chen's opponent finally went into the arena. When Long Chen saw his opponent, he found that he was quite lucky. Apart from Liu Yiyi, there were two other people in the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State. At this moment, one of them went up and looked at Long Chen.
"Crimson City Royal Palace, Yan Cheng."
"Qingli Royal Palace, Jiang Cheng."
Seeing that his opponent was quite friendly, Long Chen was also very polite to him. The two of them introduced themselves to each other. Then, without saying anything else, the Divine Wind Demon General announced the start of the battle.
A Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the seventh level was far from a match for Long Chen. Just as the crowd had expected, the Reaching Heaven State martial artist in the seventh level was knocked out of the arena by Long Chen within a few breaths. Of course, Long Chen didn't hurt him. So, after he got out of the arena, he said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for showing mercy. Yan Cheng is no match for you."
After saying that, he automatically returned to the Crimson City Royal Palace. It could be seen that he accepted his defeat to Long Chen wholeheartedly.
Even the Red Ghost King was a little jealous of Long Chen's good luck. Ying Shaotian had made it to the top six, but Long Chen had won the competition easily, which made King Qingli grin from ear to ear.
"What are you so proud of? Although luck plays a part in this disciple assessment, without absolute strength, how can you have the last laugh here? Shaotian is absolutely sure to make it to the top three this time. Only he made it to the top three. In terms of the points of the royal palaces, the Red Ghost King Royal Palace is definitely higher than the Qingli Royal Palace," the Red Ghost King said, gnashing his teeth.
Of course, he also spoke in a low voice, so that King Qingli didn't hear him.
Only then did Long Chen get out of the arena.
"Yiyi, if your opponent is Chen Feng, just admit defeat. If it's that guy on the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State, just try your best. If it's that guy on the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State, I can only congratulate you," Long Chen said to Liu Yiyi immediately after getting out of the arena.
Liu Yiyi nodded her head heavily and said, "Okay, I know …"
She felt a little sweet inside, because she knew that Long Chen was concerned about her.
At this time, the Holy Wind Demon announced the start of the fifth round. This time, it was Number 9 and Number 10 who got into the arena. When Number 9 was announced, a warrior immediately jumped into the arena with a perturbed expression, watching the movements of Chen Feng and the others nervously.
After seeing him, Long Chen, King Qingli, and the others all laughed. Not only was Long Chen lucky, but even Liu Yiyi was quite lucky, because Number 9 was the warrior on the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State.
"How could this be? There are six groups, and all of them are between the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State and the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State, and between the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State and the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State."
"How did they draw the lots? It's not fair."
"There must be an inside story."
Because of the way the lots were drawn, three warriors on the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State would definitely be eliminated in the first round. They obviously had the strength to be in the top six, but they couldn't be in the top six. This made the Lords of the King's Palaces very uncomfortable. In this way, at least three of the King's Palaces would be eliminated, which meant that the King's Palaces wouldn't stand a chance.
After Liu Yiyi got into the arena, the crowd's discontented noises became louder and louder, especially the last warrior on the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State who had to face Chen Feng. He was very upset, because he would definitely lose if he were to face Chen Feng. He had planned to show off in this disciple assessment, but he didn't expect to have to leave so soon.
In this situation, the Holy Wind Demon was also helpless.
"Quiet down, all of you."
At this moment, Jiang Wushang stood up. His cold and stern voice caused a huge roar. The crowd only felt a jolt in their heads, and those who were still shouting stopped one by one. They looked in Jiang Wushang's direction with some trepidation.
"The Ancient Demon Area is one of the top influences of the Divine Wushu Sage Empire. The disciple assessment is naturally fair and just. You are making a big fuss here. Do you not care about the Ancient Demon Area's reputation? Besides, drawing lots to determine the opponent is based on luck. Luck is a big factor in success. If you are unlucky, you deserve to die. If anyone else is discontented, you can tell me directly. Don't affect the competition. Enter the city. Divine Wind, announce the start."
Jiang Wushang's voice was very loud, and it reached everyone's ears. The crowd looked at each other and didn't dare to say another word.
They just wanted to express their discontentment. In fact, the lots couldn't have been faked. This situation was just a coincidence.
After Jiang Wushang spoke, no one dared to shout anymore.
What he had said made sense. If you were unlucky, you deserved to die.
He, Jiang Wushang, was able to become the son of the Demon Emperor and receive endless training. Wasn't this just a matter of luck?
After this incident, the battle between Liu Yiyi and her opponent officially started. Liu Yiyi's fighting capacity was considered the top among the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State. After all, even among the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State, there weren't many who had practiced King level combat skills. Under Liu Yiyi's King level combat skill, the Phantom Doppelganger, her opponent was quickly defeated.
At this point, the top six were almost decided.
