Lu Li and Chou Yu dashed into the tower. They felt they had entered a rectangular hall.
The hall was lined up in a row. There were doors inside and numbers were written on all the doors. Lu Li and Aqua Rose ran all the way and soon found the number 79 venue.
With a flash, the two of them charged in and found that the scenery had changed. They had appeared in a small world.
The small world was not large, only with a radius of more than three thousand miles. But it was enough for them to fight.
"What a miraculous treasure!"
Lu Li nodded to himself. The man glanced around and then looked at Lu Li. There was a trace of contempt in his eyes, but he still cupped his fists and said politely, "I am Chou Yu of the Chou Family of the Waters Manor. Please."
"Hypocrite!"
Lu Li sneered to himself. This man looked down on Lu Li. He must be pretending to be like this for others to see.
Lu Li casually cupped his fists as well. But there was no contempt in his eyes. Instead, he was solemn.
He knew that everything here could be seen from the outside. If he were to reveal too much of his abilities, he would attract too much attention. By then, it would not be so easy for him to win.
"I am making my move. Be careful!"
Chou Yu took out a blue longbow, then quickly drew it and shot an arrow. Three streams of light immediately flew out, transforming into three blue dragons that roared as they charged forward.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li ran away at once. But the three dragons seemed to have eyes of their own. They chased after Lu Li at a fast speed.
Lu Li could have avoided them if he had sped up. But he chose to take it head-on.
He wanted everyone to look down on him so that he could win the fight later.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The three blue dragons landed on Lu Li. Lu Li put on an armor but soon, it cracked. He was smashed away. Blood spilled everywhere. He was in a sorry state.
Lu Li didn't release his Dragon Wrestle Skill. Once he did, this man would not be able to break his defense, given his abilities.
Chou Yu's bow must be a piece of treasure. The three arrows were imbued with the Fundamental Principle of Destruction. Therefore, Chou Yu's skin was torn open. Lu Li was covered in blood and looked miserable.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Chou Yu's face was filled with a cold smile as he released another three divine arrows, and the three blue dragons once again whizzed forward.
Lu Li had no choice but to run for his life again. In the end, the dragon caught up with him and he was blasted away again.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Lu Li rolled around in midair. His armor was ruined like a beggar and he was bleeding profusely. He could die at any moment.
"Hahaha, this round is in the bag!"
"Tsk tsk, I already told you to buy the same thing as me, but you didn't listen. A peak Fourth Tribulation dares to participate in the student recruitment ceremony? Isn't this clearly courting death?"
"Hehe, I bet 500 million Celestial Stones on this kid. Although the odds are a little low, 100 million Celestial Stones is a sure win. Let's go drinking tonight, my treat!"
"Kid, hurry up and admit defeat. I bet that he'll be defeated in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Why is this trash still wasting time?
Surrender now! "
Sounds of discussion could be heard everywhere inside and outside the city. It was noisy like a market.
At least hundreds of thousands of people were watching Lu Li with psychic power. It seemed that many people were betting on Lu Li and many were interested in this fight.
Two or three patriarchs in the spectator stand were paying attention to Lu Li as well, mainly because Lu Li was the only warrior at the peak of the fourth tribulation and he was very young.
One patriarch took a look, shook his head and sighed, "This kid is good in defense but he is not strong enough. I don't think he can win the first round."
"Ha, ha!"
The Rui Emperor, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said with a smile, "This kid is pretending to be weak. I think he can even make it to the Top 100."
"Eh?"
The patriarchs looked at each other, speechless. The Rui Emperor was a man with sharp eyes.
How could he be wrong?
If the Rui Emperor was right, then they must be wrong.
At first, only two or three patriarchs were paying attention. As soon as the Rui Emperor spoke, all the patriarchs looked over.
But after a few looks, they did not see anything special about Lu Li. Lu Li had been dodging Chou Yu's attacks, jumping up and down like a monkey.
Yet, he could not dodge and was smashed away again and again.
"Um …"
After a while, an old patriarch noticed something. He said, "This kid looks miserable but he is faking it. Or, he is doing it on purpose.
There is no trace of panic or fear in his eyes. He is hiding it well but everything is under his control.
If he wants to win, he can do it easily. He is doing it on purpose to give people the impression that he is weak. "
They were all experienced warriors. They could see the indifference and coldness in the depth of Lu Li's eyes. Even though he seemed to be panicking, his eyes could not lie.
Lu Li's injuries seemed to be getting worse under the continuous attacks. That being said, they were all superficial wounds. It seemed that he could be killed at any time.
That being said, if he really wanted to buy time, he could keep going.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li didn't want to waste any more time. He sped up and at the same time, he released Dragon Wrestling Skill to fight against the three blue dragons.
This time, he was not smashed away. Instead, he didn't stop for a moment. In a flash, he had reached Chou Yu. He grabbed Chou Yu's shoulder with one hand and smashed at Chou Yu with the other.
"Eh?"
Chou Yu was surprised. He quickly took out a black dagger and stabbed at Lu Li's chest. The dagger was surrounded by black air. Clearly, it was a valuable piece of treasure.
Chou Yu swung the dagger and stabbed at Lu Li's chest in a flash. However, he felt like he was stabbing at an iron plate. He could only go half an inch in and couldn't go any further.
"Boom!"
Lu Li's punch landed on Chou Yu's face with great force. Chou Yu felt a huge force and a sharp pain on his face. He felt like he was seeing stars.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Before Chou Yu could react, Lu Li kept punching at him. Chou Yu felt a piercing pain in his heart and a sense of fatal danger emerged in his soul.
He wanted to get rid of Lu Li, but Lu Li's hand was like a pincer. Chou Yu could not get away.
"Boom!"
Chou Yu was punched several more times. He realized that his head was broken. If this went on, he would die here. He shouted helplessly, "I give up, I give up!"
Lu Li stopped at once. He wiped his face with his hand so that his face was covered in blood. He was in a sorry state.
He was breathing heavily. It seemed that this was not an easy win at all.
"Buzzing!"
Both of them were teleported out. Many people were cursing at Lu Li from all directions.
Many people were glaring at Lu Li as if they wanted to hack him into pieces. Lu Li had made many people lose many God's Stones …
"Eh … that punk won?"
One of the sergeants murmured in disbelief. Some others looked gloomy because they had all bet on Lu Li to lose.
They remembered what Lu Li said. Their eyes flickered. One of them thought about it and said, "Did he really hide his strength?
Does he really have a chance to make it to the Top 100? "
"Later, I will bet 100 million God's Stones that he can make it to the Top 100. The odds are too high, 100 times. If he wins, he will get 10 billion God's Stones!"
A warrior made up his mind. Another warrior sneered and said, "Then why don't you bet on him making it to the Top 30? If he wins, you will get 100 billion God's Stones."
