Wang Ningxue's five consecutive victories wasn't because she was a beautiful young miss or because the Wang Clan was powerful. It was because of her movement art.
Wang Ningxue's movement art was the best, and her attacks were endless. Unless one fought her to the death, no one would be able to defeat her.
But if both sides were injured, how would the challenger fight later?
He could only watch as others advanced.
Moreover, Wang Ningxue not only had a strange movement art, but she also had a powerful treasure to protect her. No one had absolute confidence in defeating her.
Moreover, the Wang Clan was very powerful. Two of their experts were elders from the Celestial Emperor Sect. Thus, they didn't want to offend the Wang Clan, so they let Wang Ningxue advance.
Wang Ningxue floated down from the stage with a flushed face. Being the first to advance meant that she would be number one in this recruitment ceremony.
She would also be highly regarded by the Celestial Emperor Sect and might even be taken in as a personal disciple.
After so many years of hard work, she had finally achieved her long-cherished wish. This was like studying hard for ten years and finally passing the imperial examinations.
Not only had she won a good future for herself, but she had also won the Wang Clan's reputation.
With one less slot, everyone became nervous. Guan Qianqiu and Hu Shimeng fought with all their might. The two attacked like a storm, defeating one opponent each.
Four consecutive victories!
Guan Qianqiu and Hu Shimeng had four consecutive victories. Everyone felt the pressure. If these two also advanced, the number of slots would be even fewer.
One of them was an expert with a lot of support. He was also a young master from a prestigious clan, a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Dynasty.
He soared into the sky and charged into a stage. His opponent was Guan Qianqiu.
Because Guan Qianqiu was injured and didn't have an imperial weapon, he was relatively easier to deal with.
Hu Shimeng's defense was too monstrous. Ordinary attacks couldn't injure him. Moreover, his attacks were very ferocious, and his character was also impulsive.
"I'll compete with Young Master Hu."
A peak fifth tribulation expert rushed up. He was also one of the twenty-two people. Moreover, he was a famous soul expert, much stronger than Jun Tian Ye. He was the most suitable person to deal with Hu Shimeng.
The other two had won three rounds in a row. At this moment, they were also being attacked by powerful snipers. Two experts rushed up and started to snipe them.
The battle had also become particularly intense. Now, no one would give way. Even friends would fight to the bitter end.
On the other martial arts stage, Wang Ningxue went down, and another person went up. However, that person was quickly defeated, but that person didn't manage to defend the stage and was immediately defeated.
Lu Li didn't move. He just watched from below. Someone noticed him as well. Someone told him to go up and snipe Guan Qianqiu.
After all, he had defeated Guan Qianqiu before. If Lu Li went up again, Guan Qianqiu might lose.
Lu Li didn't pay any attention. He just stood there calmly. He needed to wait for the most powerful warriors to make it to the next level. Then, he would have a glimmer of hope.
Boom!
All of a sudden, there came a noise of explosion from one of the arenas on the left. Lu Li took a look and was shocked. Guan Qianqiu was badly injured.
Guan Qianqiu's face was ashen, filled with unwillingness and resentment.
He had used up an Imperial Armament to enter the finals with great difficulty. He had already won four matches. Yet, he had never thought that he would fail at the last moment. This sort of feeling was extremely painful.
He had gone from heaven to hell and then back to heaven, only to end up in the 18th level of hell. Most people would have lost their minds.
"Hu Shimeng, make it to the next level!"
Patriarch Gu's voice was heard while everyone was still immersed in Guan Qianqiu's defeat.
Everyone looked over and saw a bloody hole in Hu Shimeng's opponent's chest. Hu Shimeng was so strong. His opponent was a famous soul warrior.
"Good!"
Lu Li was delighted, not because Hu Shimeng had made it to the next level, but because Hu Shimeng had severely injured a powerful opponent.
This person was a powerful soul warrior. Lu Li was afraid of him.
Now that this person was badly injured, he wouldn't be able to fight any time soon. Even if he could, his abilities would be compromised.
Wang Ningxue and Hu Shimeng had made it to the next level. Guan Qianqiu was badly injured and so was another powerful soul warrior. Lu Li was relieved to have four less powerful competitors.
Some of the others were also nervous, excited, and worried.
Even though there were fewer powerful warriors, there were fewer spots.
The fights were getting more and more intense. Lu Li didn't move, waiting for a chance.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, another person made it to the next level. This person was also one of the 22. He was strong and he was in Guan Qianqiu's team.
Time went on. After the time for one incense stick to burn, the fourth person made it to the next level. He was also one of the 22.
These 22 people were indeed very strong. The crowd's eyes lit up. Gold would eventually shine.
"It's about time!"
Lu Li thought to himself. After two more people made it to the next level, it would be time for him to go up. Guan Qianqiu and the other powerful soul warrior were both healing.
If this dragged on for too long, and the two of them recovered their vitality, it would be even more troublesome.
"Boom!"
After the time for three incense sticks to burn, the fifth person made it to the next level. The other powerful warrior was badly injured as well. That meant there were two less powerful warriors. This was a great opportunity.
"Whoosh!"
After that man left, Lu Li dashed in like a sharp sword and shouted, "Guys, this way please."
Many people wanted to rush up, but when they saw Lu Li rush up, they stopped in their tracks.
Many people at the peak of the fourth tribulation looked down on him. Now, they saw him as one of their most powerful opponents.
One person flew up after some thoughts. He was at the peak of the fifth tribulation and one of the 22. He had never fought against Lu Li before so he was not convinced.
Lu Li released Dragon Wrestling and Heaven Armor at once. A long sword appeared in his hand and a horn appeared in his other hand.
He poured divine energy into the sword. At once, the sword glowed with divine energy and was filled with awe-inspiring might.
This was not an average sword. It was Guan Qianqiu's Sovereign Weapon.
As soon as the Sovereign Weapon was taken out, the person opposite Lu Li pulled a long face. Not everyone could have a Sovereign Weapon. It could enhance a warrior's abilities.
He did not have an Imperial Armament. Thus, he would be at a disadvantage if the battle started.
Lu Li dashed over. He swung the Sovereign Weapon in his hand forward. A ray of golden light whooshed out. The light filled the sky. At that moment, everyone was blinded.
"Woo, woo."
Almost at the same time, Lu Li blew the horn. Many powerful souls began to attack that person.
"You are good."
That person stepped back quickly. When he was about to fight back, a ray of seven-colored light came from the sky. A strong suction force came. That person was taken aback.
His soul was under attack. He was flustered and at a loss. Now, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was attacking him. How could he stand it?
"Buzzing."
He was sucked in. He was stopped as soon as he came up.
"How …"
