Queen of Shadow had great power in the Holy Lady Sect. She was the most powerful person in the entire Endless Ruins. To a certain extent, her words represented the Holy Lady Sect.
The Hua Yang Seminar was held by the Holy Lady Sect and the rules were set by them. Nobody else had the right to make irresponsible remarks.
That person seemed to be asking for trouble and retreated in embarrassment.
Many people didn't say anything but they were not convinced by Lu Li's victory.
Lu Li was not famous and he was only at the fifth tribulation realm.
If it were Hua Tiandao who released his Origin Energy, everyone would only exclaim how powerful he was. Nobody would say anything.
Lu Li didn't care. He sat with his legs crossed and cultivated Origin Energy.
He had consumed some Origin Energy. Even though it was just a drop in the ocean for his nearly 10,000 strands of Origin Energy, he now knew how powerful Origin Energy was. Therefore, he was eager to have more.
As a matter of fact!
Lu Li's usage of Origin Energy was not good enough. Many Great Emperor Realm warriors could tell.
Lu Li didn't know how to use Origin Energy. He just blended it into divine energy in a simple or even crude way.
Origin Energy was one of the most powerful forces in the world. There was another force above it called Saint King's energy. Saint King's energy was based on Origin Energy. In essence, it was still Origin Energy.
If this energy was used well, it could produce destructive power. Even a super Emperor Realm warrior that was half way to the Great Emperor Realm could be defeated, let alone someone like Hua Tiandao.
Lu Li didn't even report to Emperor Rui and the higher-ups of the Celestial Emperor Sect that he could cultivate Origin Energy. He didn't have time to study the usage of Origin Energy. He was satisfied that he could defeat Hua Tiandao with Origin Energy.
Nothing else mattered to him as long as he could keep winning and take away Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong.
The rest of the matches went on quickly. Dong Yeying was the third to make it to the next round.
His opponent was the former No.6, who was defeated by Dong Yeying.
"What!"
Lu Li was alarmed from his cultivation. There was a lot of noise outside. The other two matches ended almost at the same time. Yuan Qian and Tu Ying won at the same time.
Tu Ying was on the winning side. Now, she was directly in the Top 5. Yuan Qian's unexpected win meant that the last one of the Top 5 was in suspense.
Yuan Qian was defeated by Lu Li first. After he won, he must accept challenges from others.
He still had to win two matches in a row to have a chance to advance to the top five.
If he lost, then the winner would continue to accept challenges until he won two more matches.
Four of the top five had already been decided. There was only one chance left for them to advance to the top five, and that was to defeat Yuan Kuang and accept another challenge to win two matches in a row.
There were still six people left, and they had to fight for a spot. Most importantly, there was no time to rest, and the winner would have to continuously accept challenges.
This would make the competition even more intense and cruel.
Yuan Kuang had just become a Lord. Even if he had a whole body of treasures, the problem was that his foundation was too weak. He definitely wouldn't be able to last two matches.
So who would be the last to advance to the next round?
No one could say for sure, because many people were seriously injured and didn't have time to recover.
Lu Li, on the other hand, didn't care who won or lost. He just cultivated in a corner.
Now that he had entered the top five, he was getting closer and closer to first place. The results of the next martial arts competition would be decided directly.
"This is my chance!"
Although Hua Tiandao had been recuperating, he had also been investigating his surroundings.
Yuan Kuang had unexpectedly won this match, and a spot had appeared. For Hua Tiandao, this was a heaven-sent opportunity. He could not miss it.
If he could get into the top five this time, he would have a month's rest.
By then, he could ask powerful warriors of the Hua Family for help and find a way to defeat Yuan Kuang. He still didn't believe that Lu Li had endless source energy.
"Four of the top five have advanced to the next round. Young Master Yuan, congratulations on defeating your opponent. You are now in the semi-top five.
But now, you must accept two challenges. Only after two matches can you truly enter the top five.
As for the right to challenge, the rest of you will vote to decide. Majority rules! "
The patriarch of the Holy Lady Sect announced the rules, and the rest gathered together to discuss.
When someone asked Hua Tiandao, he shook his head and said, "I won't go for the first match. You go ahead."
The remaining four discussed for a while and finally decided to let Liu Yun go. After all, he was one of the five most popular. His status and strength were higher than the others. Naturally, he should go first.
Apart from Hua Tiandao, the others were satisfied that they could make it this far.
As far as they were concerned, the top five would either belong to Yuan Kuang, Hua Tiandao or Liu Yun.
They didn't want to fight anymore. So what if they were lucky enough to make it to the top five?
Could he still continue to go up?
Therefore, the other three almost didn't want to challenge anymore. They left the opportunity to the other two. If Hua Tiandao didn't go, then Liu Yun would.
Everyone's attention was on the battlefield, but Lu Li didn't go to watch. It didn't mean much to him.
He had made it to the next round. His opponents in the top five were all powerful. It didn't matter who the last one was.
The battle was fierce. Both of them were injured.
Yuan Kuang didn't come here to get a good rank. He was here to learn. He fought with all his might. If he could win, he would keep on fighting.
Liu Yun was one of the five most popular. He was born in one of the 18 sects. Naturally, he wanted to get a better rank, to gain glory for his family and sect, and to gain fame for himself.
There was a big difference between the top five and the top ten. Maybe no one would remember the top ten, but they would definitely remember the top five. After all, there were only five people.
This battle lasted for an hour. In the end, Liu Yun won with difficulty. He was already injured and now his injuries were even worse. His body was covered in blood. It was a tragic sight.
Liu Yun won. Naturally, the challenge began again. Liu Yun had to win two more battles to advance.
The others looked at each other. They didn't dare to go up and challenge.
Would they be able to advance even if they won?
There was still Hua Tiandao, who was eyeing them like a tiger, ready to make a move at any time.
Hua Tiandao had clearly refined the top elixir. His recovery speed was fast. Even though his injuries were still serious, if he continued to recover, he could probably recover 70% to 80% of his previous strength.
"Liu Ye!"
Seeing that no one wanted to challenge, Hua Tiandao sent a message to the seventh place, "You go up and fight. I don't expect you to win. Just try to make Liu Yun's injuries as serious as possible.
If you do this well, I will owe you a favor. "
Liu Ye was a bit hesitant. After all, if he went up and injured Liu Yun, he would offend Liu Yun.
However, Hua Tiandao's favor was very tempting. After all, his identity was not ordinary.
"It's a normal challenge for you to go up. No one can say anything about it. Liu Yun won't blame you either."
Hua Tiandao continued, "What's more, if you go easy and admit defeat, Liu Yun might even owe you a favor. You can kill two birds with one stone."
"Alright!"
Liu Ye clenched his teeth. Hua Tiandao was famous for his bad temper. If he offended this person, his future days would be difficult. In any case, he was challenging normally. No one dared to say anything about him.
Liu Ye went up. Hua Tiandao, however, glanced at Lu Li who was cultivating in the corner. He sneered and murmured to himself, "Feng Wuding, I will definitely enter the top five. I will take back the glory I lost with my own hands. I will wash away this shame with blood!"
