After the Hou Clan, there were only Qin Shi and the Dragon Clan left to look forward to.
As for the remaining small families, most of them ended up with ten spirit shields. There were even some who barely managed to obtain seven or eight shields. The ranking of the top had already been decided internally.
When it came to the family ranked ninetieth, out of a thousand shields, only a hundred and twenty were left.
Observing the battle situation, Qin Shi silently calculated in his heart, "Looks like everything is pretty much as I expected."
"Little guy, what are you going to do?
Right now, the Yin Clan has the highest score on the field, with 20 spirit shields in first place. Behind them are the Guo Clan and the Blood Clan, both with 19 spirit shields. Fourth place is the Yan Clan with 18 spirit shields, and the Hou Clan with 17 spirit shields. However, this is the current top five score. With your strength, you will definitely surpass seven spirit shields. This way, the Lin Clan will charge into first place, but the Hou Clan will definitely be pushed out of the top five. "
"Hehe, it's okay for the Hou Clan to get into the top five. There are still three more. As long as you help the Hou Clan, they can surpass the Flame Clan."
"But don't forget that the Dragon Clan hasn't made their move yet. Putting aside the fact that Dragon Fang and the other two Dragon Clan disciples have extremely powerful cultivations, just Long Bai alone has reached the early stage of the Five Heavens Realm. I think that destroying twenty of these spirit shields shouldn't be a problem for him."
The evil devil curled its lips, "At that time, even if the Hou Clan surpasses the Flame Clan, they still won't be able to get into the top five. I don't think the Hou Clan has the strength to surpass the Guo Clan."
The evil devil's analysis was very accurate. The Guo Clan was very strong. Guo Danyang alone could defeat everyone except Yin Fenghao. Also, Qin Shi felt that Guo Danyang hadn't used his full strength just now.
However, Qin Shi was not worried because of this. He only smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that I need your help."
"I can help you, but you have to let me know how to help you, right?" The evil devil said helplessly, "You can't possibly want me to kill the Dragon Clan's disciples, right?"
"I'm not that violent. Plus, this is a competition. Of course, I have to follow the rules."
Qin Shi's expression was slightly strange, "Don't worry, you'll know in a bit. As long as you are willing to help me, I have a way to prevent the Dragon Clan from getting into the top five without breaking the rules."
"I hope so." The Nefarious Devil shook its head helplessly.
While the two of them were discussing, the remaining nine families had finished their matches. Out of the 120 Spiritual Shields, only 44 were left.
The next match was against the Dragon Clan.
"Now, the Yin Clan's number one depends on the Dragon Clan."
"Yes, if the Dragon Race can destroy more than twenty of them, the entire ranking will be messed up." The most exciting moment had arrived, and countless people held their breath.
The first two disciples of the Dragon Clan were the two young disciples. Although they were young disciples, their strength could not be underestimated. They were both in the middle stage of the Four Heavens Realm. The two of them jumped onto the battle platform and used tricky attacks to tear the space in front of the point of impact, causing an extremely fierce and violent flow.
Boom!
The violent energy in the space was invincible, and it ruthlessly struck the point of impact.
Crack!
Taking advantage of the momentum, the spirit shields behind the point of impact began to shatter. One side, two sides, three sides, four sides.
Just one person had destroyed four Spiritual Shields.
The other person's aura was equally majestic. Taking advantage of the fact that the crack in the space had yet to close, his hand was like a sharp sword as he suddenly stabbed at the point of impact.
Boom boom boom!
Two consecutive attacks caused two spirit shields to explode from the left and right sides of the battle platform.
Now, the two of them had destroyed eight shields.
After the two of them was Dragon Fang. Dragon Fang was extremely frivolous. The tip of his foot pushed off the ground lightly, and he leapt to the front of the point of impact. Before he made his move, his sharp gaze swept across the entire field, especially when it landed on Qin Shi. He paused for about three seconds before the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his middle finger in contempt.
"Hehe, he's provoking you." Yin Fenghao patted Qin Shi's shoulder.
"It's fine. The one who laughs last is the winner. Let him be arrogant for a while."
"Let's see how much skill he has. But even if he doesn't destroy one of the shields, I feel that it will be too easy for Long Bai to destroy all twelve of them given his terrifying strength. I'm guessing that we're going to lose in terms of offense." Yin Fenghao's heart trembled as he recalled Long Bai's appearance before the battle.
In response, Qin Shi only smiled slightly. "That might not be the case."
"Hmm?" Yin Fenghao widened his eyes in confusion. "Brother Qin, what do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing. Just get ready to watch a good show."
Qin Shi lightly shrugged. Dragon Fang had already made his move. Dragon armor appeared on his left hand, and his fingertips became abnormally sharp. Even a normal Emperor Soul Artifact might not be able to withstand his attack.
Black light surged from the top of his dragon claw as it stabbed toward the center of the point of impact.
Bzzz!
The point of impact trembled violently, and a strange black hole formed at the center of the point of impact. Cold wind howled incessantly inside the black hole, causing the point of impact to tremble violently. Even the diamond tiles on the arena were shattered.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
…!
Nine consecutive sounds rang out, and the nine spirit shields were reduced to dust.
"Nine, nine shields! Another nine shields!"
Countless people were dumbfounded by this scene. Since Blood Child Dragon, no one had been able to destroy nine spirit shields. Including Dragon Fang, there were only four people who had done so.
But this was not what shocked them the most. What shocked them the most was …!
"It's only three people. Long Bai hasn't even made a move yet, but he's already … already destroyed seventeen shields?
He's standing at sixth place with the Hou Clan. Is this real? "
Yes, this was what shocked everyone. Three people had destroyed seventeen shields. This undoubtedly announced the Dragon Race's victory.
Yin Fenghao's expression darkened. He was originally only afraid of Long Bai, but he never expected Dragon Fang to be so strong.
The patriarchs of the Hundred Races were dumbfounded. Yin Guolin, Blood Flame Marquis, and the other patriarchs' expressions darkened at the same time. This had already threatened their positions.
Only Long Xuan stroked his beard and smiled lightly, as if everything was under his control.
"This Dragon Fang is quite interesting. He purposely held back his strength when he fought against me. It looks like he was waiting for this moment." Qin Shi's cold eyes opened and closed as he shook his head.
He had miscalculated. He didn't think that the Dragon Race would be able to reach the same position as the Hou Clan without Long Bai's help. But it was also because of this miscalculation that he couldn't afford to make any mistakes in his next plan.
"Brat, it's your turn." Dragon Fang clapped his hands in satisfaction and jumped off the stage.
Qin Shi wrapped himself in a black robe. He didn't wear anything fancy as he walked onto the stage step by step. The moment he brushed past Dragon Fang, an ear-piercing voice rang out, "Brat, my Dragon Race will definitely be the champion. Just wait to make a fool of yourself."
"Is that so?
Hehe.
This isn't over yet, right? Isn't it a bit too early to say who won and who lost? "
Qin Shi glanced at Dragon Fang, causing Dragon Fang to be stunned. Qin Shi didn't waste any more words and stepped onto the stage alone.
The moment Qin Shi stepped onto the stage, Lin Yi's heart jumped.
The Lin Family's results would all depend on Qin Shi's performance.
"Kid, what are you going to do?" the Nefarious Devil asked.
Qin Shi looked around and checked the remaining Spirit Shields that were left behind after the various stress points.
"The Dragon Race destroyed seventeen shields, so there are only twenty-seven left?"
After counting the last shield, Qin Shi smiled softly and thought to himself, Nefarious Devil, how many shields can you destroy if you use your full strength? "
"If I use my full strength, I can destroy all of them. But if I do that, the old fogeys in the stands will definitely notice me," the Nefarious Devil said bluntly.
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi's brows furrowed as he made some calculations in his mind. Then, he said, "How about this? I'll attack with seven shields, and you'll help me destroy all seven of them. I want to see just how strong this Long Bai is.
But if he doesn't have any shields, what can he do? "
"What are you going to do?"
The Nefarious Devil's question made Qin Shi smile excitedly. "What am I going to do?
Of course I'm going to destroy all of these shields! "
"You want to destroy all of them?"
The Nefarious Devil was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him. If that was the case, then Long Bai would really be useless. "So you've already thought this through?"
"Yes. I didn't think that the Long Family would be able to achieve seventeen shields with just three people, but this will at least lower the Dragon Race's score."
"Can you do it with twenty shields?"
"How will I know if I don't try?"
Qin Shi smiled nonchalantly, but his expression turned unusually serious. Excitement and ruthlessness flashed through his black eyes.
That cold current was fleeting. In just a moment, it was caught by the Lin Concubine, Fang Xin, Fang Feng, and Fang Luan. In an instant, the four of them trembled and their beautiful faces paled.
They hadn't seen Qin Shi look like this in a long time. The last time they saw it was when they were fighting against the Blood Shamans in the empire. It was clear that Qin Shi was serious this time.
Indeed, twenty shields was a huge test for Qin Shi, but Qin Shi had never been afraid of a test.
He also wanted to know how strong his full-powered attack could be.
"Huff …!"
Qin Shi exhaled deeply and thought about what his strongest move was.
Was it the Desolate Desert Technique?
Or the Great Relic Technique?
The Desolate Desert Technique was a lower grade eight martial art, while the Great Relic Technique was the second level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture and was a growth type martial art. Either one was rare in the world, but the problem was that he really didn't know which one was stronger.
Most importantly, he still had the God Character Formula. If he were to convert it into spiritual energy, he was confident that he could condense 300 Desolate Runes. By the same logic, if he converted it into spiritual energy, he could also condense 300 Golden Light Relics.
"Why don't you try and fuse them?" Just as Qin Shi was at a loss, the Nefarious Devil's voice suddenly sounded.
"Fuse?"
