The Sovereign Weapon was important. It was the family heirloom of the Guan Family. But between a Sovereign Weapon and a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect, the latter was more important.
More importantly, Lu Li had no powerful background. Therefore, Guan Qianqiu was confident that he could redeem the Sovereign Weapon.
The Guan Family had some influence. They had connections in the Celestial Emperor Sect. Guan Qianqiu's sixth grandpa was a patriarch of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
If Lu Li could join the Celestial Emperor Sect, Guan Qianqiu could find a way to ask his sixth grandpa to pay some divine stones or treasures to redeem the Sovereign Weapon.
If Lu Li could not join the Celestial Emperor Sect, then it would be even easier. The Guan Family could send out some powerful warriors to kill Lu Li and take the Sovereign Weapon back.
Lu Li was embarrassed by Guan Qianqiu's straightforward answer. He had made a big promise and now he could not back down.
He thought for a moment and said, "Deactivate the spiritual connection with the Sovereign Weapon and throw it on the ground. I will get the Sovereign Weapon first and then I will help you!"
"Okay!"
Guan Qianqiu was an ambitious man. He was decisive. He took out the Sovereign Weapon, deactivated the spiritual connection and threw it on the ground.
Lu Li sent the Sovereign Weapon out and put it into his Interspatial Ring. He checked with psychic power and found that the spiritual connection was indeed gone. He checked the Sovereign Weapon and said to Guan Qianqiu, "Okay, deal is done. I will let you out when they are done."
Wang Ningxue, Jun Tianye and the others were with Lu Li. They noticed that something was wrong with Lu Li but said nothing.
After all, they had made it to the next round mainly because of Lu Li. They would not say anything if Lu Li wanted to do something.
The fight had begun. Nobody dared to target Lu Li's team. All four of them were strong, especially when Lu Li could defeat Guan Qianqiu. They would not be courting death.
Out of the three spots, Lu Li's team only occupied one spot. There were still two spots left. Although there were four teams left, two of them only had one person and two people left. As long as they could defeat these three, they would be guaranteed to advance.
Naturally, those two teams were not convinced. They fought back with all their might, thinking that even if they were to lose, they could inflict some serious damage to the other teams.
Furthermore, two of them had clearly swallowed pills that increased their battle prowess, causing their battle prowess to soar.
The two teams were not in a hurry. Lu Li and the other three would not attack. Once the effects of the pellets wore off, they would be able to advance. Therefore, the other two teams began to attack from a distance to buy time.
Boom!
The three of them were furious. Three of them attacked one person, and that person finally couldn't take it anymore. He fainted and was eliminated.
The two teams on the other side were also furious. If this went on, wouldn't they be defeated one by one?
Both teams began to fight with all their might, and the battle became particularly intense.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the three of them were severely injured. The two teams had also suffered heavy losses. One team had three people left, while the other had two people left.
The faces of these five people were filled with joy. They had finally won. They had entered the top 30.
"Hmm?"
After waiting for a while, the five of them felt that something was wrong. This was because they had not teleported out. The battle had already ended, so they should have all teleported out.
However, no one was teleported out, which meant that the battle was not over.
"What's the situation?"
One of them murmured suspiciously, "Aside from our three groups, there are no other groups. Why haven't we teleported out yet?"
"Something's wrong!"
Someone suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "There is one more person in Lu Li's Sovereign Weapon. Guan Qianqiu is in there. The fight is not over yet."
Everyone turned to Lu Li who said with a smile, "Yes, the fight is not over yet!"
"Buzzing ~"
The Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda glowed as Guan Qianqiu came out. Lu Li said with a smile, "You have to defeat him to truly end the fight."
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
The five people's expressions changed. Guan Qianqiu had not suffered any serious injuries, so he alone was enough to suppress the other two.
The faces of the five people turned pale, and then they became angry.
One of them glared at Lu Li and said, "Young Master Lu, what is the meaning of this?
Don't you hate Guan Qianqiu?
Why are you helping him now?
Is this fair to Young Master Hu? "
"What do you mean by hate?"
Lu Li shrugged and said, "The Recruitment Ceremony is just a competition. There is no hate.
We will compete on the same stage and we will show our skills in order to get into the Heaven Emperor Sect. As long as it is within the rules, it is an achievement.
What is more, Young Master Guan has given me a Sovereign Weapon. This is a good deal, so I must do it. I am sorry. "
"Sovereign Weapon …"
They were speechless. What else was there to say when Lu Li had offered a Sovereign Weapon?
The two teams were secretly on guard, especially the team with only two people, who were even more nervous.
"Whoosh!"
Guan Qianqiu made a move. As expected, his target was the two. At the same time, Lu Li moved as well to help Guan Qianqiu. Since he had promised Guan Qianqiu, Lu Li must keep his word.
The two of them were already injured. One of them had a big hole in his chest while the other had a broken hand. The two of them had fought fiercely just now.
Seeing Guan Qianqiu and Lu Li coming at them, the two closed their eyes in despair and shouted at the same time, "I give up."
"What ~"
The crowd was in an uproar. Guan Qianqiu's team was overjoyed. It felt so good to go from hell to heaven.
At first, they were thinking about how to explain to their families when they got back. Little did they expect to be surprised.
Those who had bet on Guan Qianqiu's advancement were also ecstatic. They felt as though a cooked duck had flown away, and then this duck had flown back and brought back a turkey.
"There is something wrong with this punk's character!"
On the Peak of Fairy, Emperor Wu found Lu Li to be an eyesore. He snorted and said, "He is fickle. For a Sovereign Weapon, he can turn enemies into friends. Even if he were to join the Celestial Emperor Sect, he will only be a scourge. I suggest we disqualify him."
"Rules are rules. He did not break the rules, so we cannot disqualify him."
The Rui Emperor said indifferently, then added, "He's not wrong. This is just a competition, not a true life and death enemy. To him, it's the same no matter who advances. Why can't he obtain an Emperor Weapon?"
Emperor Heng nodded as well. "This is not a problem with his character and he did not break the rules. Didn't Guan Qianqiu stab him in the back?
As long as it is within the rules, there is nothing to say. "
"Hmm ~"
Emperor Wu snorted and said, "Anyways, I don't like this punk. If he joins the Celestial Emperor Sect, I will make him suffer and force him to quit the sect."
On the other side, the competition had come to an end. Six teams had come out and the top 30 had been determined.
Patriarch Gu announced the names of the top 30. The final match would be held in half a month at the Peak of Fairy.
The final match was to decide who could join the Celestial Emperor Sect. The top 10 could become disciples of the Celestial Emperor Sect directly and the 11th to 20th would become registered disciples.
"This is the last round."
