"So cruel!"
"Killing three thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred. This guy is so cruel that he even burns himself …"
"Ha, ha, ha, he has won four in a row but look at how badly he is burned.
Can he still fight? "
"If he didn't hurt himself, he wouldn't have won four in a row. But this guy is cruel. He is cruel to his enemies and cruel to himself."
"Win one more. I bet on him to get to Top 10. I will be rich if he can …"
"What are you talking about? How can he win like this?
Any one of you would be able to suppress him. "
"…"
Lu Li had won four in a row. The crowd was in an uproar. Many bet that Lu Li would not make it to Top 10 while others bet that he would.
What was more, he was the biggest dark horse in this year's recruitment ceremony. Naturally, people were paying more attention to him.
Not only the onlookers, but many people on the Peak of Fairy were discussing as well, including the disciples of the Heaven Emperor Sect and the several Martial Emperors. Martial Emperor had always found Lu Li an eyesore. Looking at Lu Li's miserable state, he turned to Rui Emperor and said, "Rui Emperor, I think this is the end of the road for the kid you are optimistic about.
He is so badly injured. Anyone can defeat him. "
"Ha, ha!"
Rui Emperor smiled but said nothing. He looked at Lu Li who was burnt and looked at Lu Li's eagle-like eyes. It was as if he was looking at himself when he was younger.
It was so difficult for disciples of poor families to stand out. Others had backgrounds, resources, talents and treasures. But they had nothing.
They could not rely on anyone. They had to fight their way up step by step. Most of them died prematurely. Only a few were lucky enough to stand at the top of the pyramid.
When they stood at the top of the pyramid, they realized that all the people around them were disciples from wealthy families.
Even if they stood at the top, they would still be pushed aside and suppressed by a group of people because they were not the same kind of people as disciples from wealthy families …
Without a doubt, the Rui Emperor was this kind of person. Even though he had become a Great Emperor and became a top-notch figure in the Endless Divine Ruins, he wasn't considered much in the Celestial Emperor Sect. Many people didn't like him and were working together to suppress him!
That was why Rui Emperor found Lu Li pleasing to the eye. He saw himself in Lu Li.
Hiss, hiss!
Lu Li rolled around on the ground and struggled to sit up. He took two healing pellets at once and took out two more elixirs to consume.
He had suffered internal injuries before, and this was equivalent to an external injury, a very serious one at that.
The flames were too terrifying. Even he couldn't withstand it.
If Meng An continued to fight to the death and refused to admit defeat, after Meng An was burned to death, Jiang Yi might be burned to death as well.
Even though he had won four times in a row, Lu Li was not secretly delighted. He didn't want to think about anything else. Healing his wounds was the priority.
His recovery ability was stronger than the average person's. As long as he was given half an incense stick's time, his injuries would probably recover by a lot.
The people below were naturally not stupid. How could they give him time to recover?
Now, six had made it to the next round and only four were left. If Lu Li were to make it to the next round, then the chances would be even slimmer.
Take advantage of his weakness and kill him.
They would not miss such a good chance. As soon as Lu Li consumed the two Miraculous Herbs, four or five warriors came to him.
"Xiu!"
A figure was even faster than them. He roared, "Everyone, give me a chance to avenge my humiliation!"
They checked with psychic power and found it was Guan Qianqiu.
Guan Qianqiu had been healing for some time. He had recovered a bit but he was not fully recovered yet.
Guan Qianqiu was famous. Three of them stopped when they saw him. The other two didn't trust Guan Qianqiu. One of them asked, "Brother Guan, can you do it now?"
Guan Qianqiu had not recovered yet. This person was afraid that Guan Qianqiu could not defeat Lu Li and that Lu Li would make it to the next round.
What was more, Guan Qianqiu was suppressed by Lu Li's Seven-colored Glaze before. What if he was suppressed again?
"Brother Ning, trust me!"
Guan Qianqiu nodded seriously. This Young Master Ning stopped after some thoughts, giving Guan Qianqiu face.
But the other person didn't. Instead, he sneered and said, "Young Master Guan, you should continue to heal. You don't have to do anything in this fight.
Don't worry … I don't think I will cooperate with him. I am going easy on him. "
This person's meaning was clear. Guan Qianqiu and Lu Li had worked together before so he didn't trust Guan Qianqiu. If Guan Qianqiu was going easy on Lu Li, then they would have one less spot.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Guan Qianqiu laughed and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry. I swear on the reputation of the Guan Family that I will try my best this time. Please, Brother Liu, do me a favor."
Since Guan Qianqiu had said so, the other person didn't want to turn Guan Qianqiu down.
What was more, Guan Qianqiu's wounds were not fully recovered. Even if he could defeat Lu Li and win the next round, it would be more difficult. This was a chance for the other person.
In the end, Guan Qianqiu rushed into the arena. The healing pellets Lu Li took and the elixirs he consumed had just spread throughout his body. His skin had stopped bleeding but his wounds were not healed.
Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at Guan Qianqiu standing opposite him. Lu Li put on a mocking smile.
Before the finals, Guan Qianqiu had just invited Lu Li to a banquet and called him brother. Now, Guan Qianqiu wanted to deal with Lu Li?
Guan Qianqiu didn't seem to be embarrassed at all. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother Lu, just admit defeat. You are too badly wounded. You are no match for me."
Lu Li smiled and replied, "Brother Guan, you are not fully recovered yet. If we fight, both of us will suffer. By then, you won't be able to make it to the next round.
How about … we make a deal. I will give the Sovereign Weapon back to you and you will help me make it to the next round? "
"Hmm!"
Guan Qianqiu sneered. He shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, you are overthinking. For me, being a disciple of the Celestial Emperor Sect is more important. I don't care about the Sovereign Weapon.
If I help you make it to the next round, how can I, Guan Qianqiu, establish myself in the Endless Ruins? Don't bring this up again! "
"You are wrong!"
Lu Li wanted to buy some time to recover. Therefore, he said to Guan Qianqiu patiently, "Brother Guan, think about it this way. If I make it to the next round, there will be three places left. After you get the Sovereign Weapon, your abilities will be greatly improved. There are not many powerful warriors left. You have a better chance."
"Hmm!"
Guan Qianqiu shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, say no more. I will ask you one last time — do you admit defeat? If not, I will make my move."
How could Lu Li admit defeat?
It was not easy for him to achieve four victories in a row. The dawn of victory was near. He would not admit defeat even if he had to die.
Making up his mind, Lu Li stood up and said, "Come on. Even if I have to die, I want to know why."
