Schen advanced into the Eighth Level of Mortal martial arts, his spiritual awareness becoming much stronger. He was able to see that there were two Eighth Level Mortal martial arts cultivators on this battle stage. One of them was a man wearing bright golden clothes, and he appeared to be around twenty years old. The other person was a white-haired woman who was very beautiful, with her long hair tied into a ponytail. Her figure was slim and graceful, and she had an extremely beautiful face that appeared mature and alluring. However, her expression was cold and arrogant. Both she and Schen were wearing tight black clothes that accentuated her hot figure perfectly, although hers was much more exquisite than Schen’s.
This woman attracted attention due to her unusual white hair, her mature appearance, her hot figure, her extraordinarily beautiful face, and her noble and aloof aura. Schen was forced to look at her a few more times.
“Now, let’s announce the rules. The first round will be held today. You forty people will divide into eight groups, each consisting of five people. Then, the winner within each group will advance to the finals.” An elder shouted. This was a senior of the Medicine Family: “Five people will fight together on this battle stage, and whoever stays alive on top of the stage is considered victorious.”
The rules were simple. Five people would fight together on the battle stage, and whoever fell off would be eliminated, with the person remaining at the top being declared victorious.
The Medicine Family’s senior then began reciting the rules applicable during a battle, allowing for underhanded tricks and banning murder.
The grouping began, and Schen did not join the two Eighth Level Mortal martial arts cultivators. Instead, he was in a group of four boys aged nineteen or twenty years old, who were all at the peak of Sixth Level Mortal martial arts. Schen guessed that this was done on purpose by Medicine Family, in order to make him lose in the first round.
At this point, Schen already knew about the identities of those two Seventh Level Mortal martial arts cultivators. The young girl was named Cold Azure Orchid and she was the daughter of a famous general in Southern Martial Kingdom. However, her age was only fourteen years old, but she appeared very mature and developed beyond her actual age. This made Schen inwardly marvel.
The other boy was named Song Nanming, who was the eldest son of the emperor and thus the Crown Prince of Southern Martial Kingdom. He was twenty years old now, with a peak Seventh Level Mortal martial arts cultivation level. His talent was not bad, but in Schen’s eyes, it paled in comparison to Cold Azure Orchid. This was because she was only fourteen years old.
Schen was the last group, and also the most unfair one. Only he was sixteen years old, while everyone else in his group were either nineteen or twenty years old. It was obvious that someone intentionally arranged it like this.
If they were fighting one-on-one, Schen would have a good chance of winning. But in the elimination rounds where five people fought together, Schen would be very likely to fail.
If Schen was still a Seventh Level Mortal martial arts cultivator, he would definitely have been worried. However, now that he was an Eighth Level Mortal martial arts cultivator with powerful strength, even stomping his feet could shake the plaza. Relying on his godly cultivation skills and True qi of the Five Elements, his strength was nearly comparable to that of a Ninth Level Mortal martial arts cultivator.
Schen did not expect him to advance into the Eighth Level Mortal martial arts within days after advancing into Seventh Level, and it was all thanks to Bai Yueyou’s cultivation method of devouring fiends. At this moment, he deeply appreciated the charm of this fiend cultivation method.
Schen stood on the sidelines while watching the five people fighting in the middle of the battle stage and analyzed the techniques they were using. In his burning eyes, he clearly saw the True qi flowing through their meridians when they were using techniques. The hardest technique to learn was the skill of how to direct one’s qi, and Schen could now easily detect this with his extraordinary spiritual awareness. This allowed him to imitate other people’s techniques effortlessly.
The five people on the battle stage were all crammed together at the center, none of them wanting to stay near the edges. Once someone fell off the stage, they would be eliminated immediately. At this point, they were fighting together in the middle of the stage, and this kind of fight required certain strength to last until the end. Sometimes they had to fend off attacks from four people, and during the defense, they also needed to make quick counterattacks. This allowed him to see how someone used techniques and their reaction abilities.
Although the techniques performed by those young men from noble families were impressive enough to make people on the sidelines exclaim in amazement, Schen was unable to take them seriously. Although they were not bad, there were still many flaws in their techniques that he could easily detect.
The first round quickly ended, and the person who won was strong enough to withstand a thick True qi that allowed them to last till the end. The other four people either fell off the stage due to being struck, or their True qi was exhausted and they walked down by themselves.
These young men and women were all at the Sixth Level Mortal martial arts stage, and in many people’s eyes, they were geniuses with powerful strength. However, Schen knew that the young men and women on this stage had weak foundations, unstable roots, thin True qi, and impure energy. Although they might have good techniques, they could not unleash their power when using them, nor did they apply them properly.
"After all, they have been pampered since childhood. Each of them is treated like a treasure and no one would try to train their martial arts skills," Schen thought to himself. There were not many people like him who would work hard all night just for cultivation.
It was now the turn of the Southern Martial Kingdom’s Crown Prince, Song Nanming, who had just stepped onto the battle stage. He was a Seventh Level Mortal martial arts cultivator, while the other four were only Sixth Level. Two people fell off the stage immediately after Song Nanming used his powerful True qi to quickly knock them down. His actions made the crowd on the sidelines gasp in shock.
Now, it was Cold Azure Orchid’s turn. When she stepped onto the stage, many men had their eyes hotly fixated on her hot figure. Cold Azure Orchid was wearing black tight clothes, and her legs were straight and long with elasticity. She had an age-inappropriate appearance that was mature and graceful, exuding a cold atmosphere. Her entire body emitted an aloof and attractive aura that made people wonder how she was only fourteen years old.
"This little girl's True qi is very strange!" Schen frowned and murmured to himself.
Su Meiyao said, "This little girl has the Ice and Fire vein. I don’t know what rank it is, but she was cultivating Ice and Fire True qi. These two opposing types of True qi combine to become so strange, making it difficult to predict where the attack will come from. If you see her set fire, there’s a chance that those flames can freeze you up instead. Anyway, this little girl is not simple, and it would be best if you could make friends with her." Schen’s pupils constricted as he looked at the mature and alluring girl on stage, secretly marveling. People who garnered Su Meiyao’s approval would not be of low quality.
"Let's begin!"
The moment the words fell, everyone noticed that Cold Azure Orchid suddenly transformed into a dark shadow and darted around the battle stage quickly, leaving long black silhouettes behind her. Her speed was astonishing and caught everyone’s attention as the four people on stage were stunned.
Schen frowned. He could barely see Cold Azure Orchid’s beautiful and serious face, but it was so taxing on his eyes. This speed surprised him too.
"Bang!" Someone fell from the stage and was thrown out instantly. Although no one could see how he was knocked down, everyone knew that it had to be Cold Azure Orchid who sent him flying due to her quick movements.
What Schen saw was that Cold Azure Orchid kicked the person off the stage, using great force. She kicked him so hard that he was sent flying.
Chaos ensued as Cold Azure Orchid used her astonishing speed to launch surprise attacks, kicking one person after another off the stage.
"Cold Azure Orchid successfully enters the top eight, and now it's time for the last group!" The Medicine Family’s senior shouted.
Finally, it was Schen's turn. Everyone knew that Schen would have to face four twenty-year-old men who were stuck at the Sixth Level Mortal martial arts stage for years. Their strength was naturally stronger than those young men, which greatly disadvantaged Schen.都不敢再加價了，那可是神國的皇子，一個神帝的兒子！即便他們的實力比這皇子強，但他們也不敢得罪！沈翔也從中看出一些什麼來，之前還是一百萬一百萬神元石的加上去，現在隻是有人喊道一千萬，就鴉雀無聲了，顯然是因為喊話的是個了不得的人物！月兒給沈翔傳音道：“是神國皇室的成員，這種氣勢我忘不了，冇想到竟然會來這種身份的傢夥，應該是皇子之類的！”郭大師也清楚這是皇室成員，心中暗暗驚訝著，他作為一名丹神，也清楚神...
