"Chi Tianjiao has lost. Do not harm her."
The Terminator's deep voice echoed through the air.
Chi Tianjiao took a step back, then fell on her butt.
Without any warning, the ground in front of her suddenly split open on both sides.
Her face paled. If not for the Terminator's intervention, she would have fallen to the ground.
In the distance, the Pharmacist sheathed her sword and glared at her coldly. "If I ever find out you've been absorbing the blood of others to strengthen yourself, I won't forgive you."
After saying that, she looked in the direction of the rostrum and nodded slightly. Then, she floated up and headed to the waiting area.
That … that was it?
The audience watched in awe. From what they could see, Chi Tianjiao hadn't been able to defend herself against the Pharmacist.
That was too fast.
This was the fastest match to end since the start of the three matches.
Didn't they say that those who could enter the top 16 were all experts?
How could this happen? She couldn't withstand a single blow, and the Terminator had to personally intervene to save her.
Was the gap really that big?
The answer was no.
Chi Tianjiao had lost so miserably because her Discipline had been nullified.
The Celestial Master Qian Tian's lineage was descended from the righteous path of Former China. It was the bane of all evil.
Chi Tianjiao's blood mutation ability was a type of demonic charm.
Now that the Pharmacist's righteous energy had destroyed it, there was no way she could resist.
She and the Pharmacist weren't on the same level in terms of Discipline.
Chi Tianjiao's expression changed as she left the stage. She was afraid to return to the waiting area, and so she left.
The first fight of Group Two was over.
The Pharmacist's strength had once again stunned the audience.
Second fight.
Jiang Yuan, Qian Bian.
Jiang Yuan the Dark Magus had already shown his strength in the previous fights.
But he was his opponent.
Qian Bian from the Northern Alliance had also left a deep impression on the audience.
According to the Accountant, Qian Bian was ninth level sixth rank. The Major League had used the latest liquid metal technology to modify his body and combine it with his Discipline.
Both his adaptability and resilience were superb.
He was also adept at transforming into a variety of high-tech weaponry.
Although his cultivation was limited, he was no slouch when combined with his modified body.
The two of them went on stage separately.
Jiang Yuan still had a gloomy look on his face. Qi Mu's failure did not seem to affect his mood at all. Qian Bian was a tall, typical Northern Alliance man.
Yellow Mohican hair.
It was more than 2.2 meters tall.
It was as if being tall was a synonym for a powerful man in the Northern Alliance.
In fact, as a modified Arcanist, the size of the body was proportional to the amount of modification.
This was especially true for an ability user like Qian Bian.
Both Jiang Yuan and Qian Bian had ugly expressions on their faces. The reason was simple. They had just witnessed the terror of an Alchemist. It was impossible for their moods not to be affected.
The Pharmacist had used her power to show them that it was impossible for them to advance to the next round.
Jiang Yuan was also an expert in dark energy.
Therefore, he paid special attention to the battle just now.
When the Pharmacist had suppressed her transformation, he knew he didn't stand much of a chance against the strongest of the Eastern Alliance.
But even so, he had to give it a try. At the very least, he had to gain something from this confrontation.
If he wanted to maintain his confidence, he had to face her with the attitude of a victor. Therefore, he had to win this match.
Qian Bian's way of thinking was much simpler. He knew his own strength, and with Titan and Yan Ningya there, he didn't even think about taking first place. If he could make it to the top sixteen, his mission would be complete.
His mentality was better than Jiang Yuan's. As long as he could show his strength, that was enough.
"Three, two, one. Begin!"
Qian Bian raised his hands at the same time. His body turned silvery-white at an astonishing speed. His two arms instantly turned into six laser cannons, and a metallic storm of attacks poured down in torrents.
Lan Jue sat in the waiting area. He'd already recovered from his earlier experience. Frost Rain had been a great help to him. His Core had been compressed to a third of its original size. What he normally didn't dare do with his full strength, he'd accomplished in the cold.
The Pharmacist had returned to his side. She sat there calmly, as if the victory had belonged to someone else.
Seeing Lan Jue's eyes on the ring, she smiled. "What?
Are you afraid they can beat me? "
Lan Jue shook his head. Of course he didn't think either Qian Bian or Jiang Yuan could defeat the Pharmacist. Jiang Yuan wouldn't be able to control the Pharmacist's Discipline, and Qian Bian's level was too low.
There was a way to deal with liquid metal. Brute force was the simplest way to deal with it, and Qian Bian wasn't completely made of liquid metal. He was human, not a robot.
"I was just thinking of a friend whose Discipline is similar to his," Lan Jue said.
The one who appeared in his mind was Ke Er, who was also known as the Energy Storm.
Kerr's Discipline and Qian Bian's were very much alike!
It looked like one Discipline, but it was actually two.
Kerr had been a part of the Northern Alliance's most advanced research project. Qian Bian must have been involved with her, or had done the same thing before.
Qian Bian's Discipline was higher than Kerr's, but it felt like Kerr was lacking something.
The Pharmacist's voice was quiet. "An incomplete person, a cyborg, has no future.
If you want to understand protogenia, you must first understand yourself.
Titan is different. He was also modified, but his body was the dominant one. Qian Bian's was a destructive one. "
Lan Jue immediately understood the difference between Kerr and Qian Bian.
Kerr's Discipline was metal transformation and energy storm.
Although she'd been modified, her body hadn't been infused with metal. It was her Core that had been modified, and it had the potential to grow.
That was the difference.
From the looks of it, Ke 'er's transformation seemed to be on a higher level.
Lan Jue remembered Kerr telling him about the low success rate she'd had when she'd been a part of the Discipline.
Perhaps that was why Qian Bian had come to be.
In the ring, the battle was in full swing.
Qian Bian didn't hesitate to unleash a barrage of firepower.
His ability to transform into modern weaponry was common in the Northern Alliance, but those who could reach his level were few and far between.
Level Nine Tier Six Metal Transformation and the energy storm combined. In an instant, the entire stage was filled with the light of cannon fire.
Two six-barreled Vulcan Cannons swept toward Jiang Yuan like a pair of fiery dragons.
It covered almost half the ring. There was no way to dodge.
At the same time, Qian Bian's shoulders flickered with silver light. Liquid metal rapidly surged, transforming into two massive missiles that shot straight at Jiang Yuan with a glaring tail flame and an ear-piercing whistle.
Everything was on fire.
As Qian Bian transformed into the Vulcan Cannons, Jiang Yuan raised his hand to summon his black scepter.
He pointed his scepter forward, and a huge dark green skull appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
It bore the brunt of the Vulcan Cannons' barrage.
Two beams of green light shot out from the skull's eye sockets as the two missiles flew at him, causing the missiles to explode midway.
Even so, the resulting shockwaves caused a storm of energy to sweep across the ring.
Jiang Yuan stood firmly behind the skull, muttering an incantation. Circles of dark green light rapidly blossomed from his body.
One could clearly see that incantations began to appear around his body. These incantations gathered together as if they were condensing something.
Qian Bian had studied Jiang Yuan's fighting style before, and knew it well enough.
Jiang Yuan's incantations were never aimless. In addition to the unpredictable attacks, the most troublesome thing was those pervasive incantations.
That was why he'd prepared for battle the moment he knew his opponent was Jiang Yuan. His preparations had been thorough.
If he wanted to defeat Jiang Yuan, he'd have to rely on explosive power. If things dragged on, he'd have no chance at all.
Qian Bian leapt into the air at the same time the two missiles were fired. His body morphed into a heavy cannon in midair, landing solidly on the ground.
The heavy cannon didn't look too big, but its muzzle was enormous. Red light rapidly condensed inside the muzzle.
Terrifying energy fluctuations surged.
Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed. He could clearly feel the pressure from his opponent suddenly increase, and the skull in front of him was on the verge of collapse after a series of attacks.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes as he took a step forward. The dark green light on his body suddenly brightened and enveloped his entire body. The low chanting suddenly became louder and louder.
His voice passed through the ring and spread to the entire Major League Sports Center.
Everyone present felt dizzy as they listened to his voice.
Especially the commoners. They wanted to vomit.
But the Major League reacted quickly. The light barrier around the ring flashed, isolating the sound from the outside.
Just then, Qian Bian's attack was completed. A massive beam of orange light shot out, instantly swallowing Jiang Yuan's body.
