Chapter 147: Ch 147- End of Preliminary Round

On the other side, the battle between Ming Yue and the second-ranked cultivator had already ended.

Ming Yue’s sword was resting against his neck.

The young man swallowed nervously and slowly raised his hands.

"I lost, take them."

He quickly took out all the beast materials he had collected and handed them to Ming Yue.

Ming Yue accepted them without hesitation.

With the additional points, her ranking instantly rose to second place.

She glanced at the guy for a moment before putting away the beast materials. Then, with a soft whoosh, her figure disappeared into the forest.

The young man stood there for a few seconds, still unable to understand what had happened.

"What the hell was that talent?"

He looked down at his sword.

"How did she copy my sword technique after seeing it only a few times?"

He shook his head and quickly stopped thinking about it.

"Forget it, now I need to hunt more beasts."

He turned around and rushed into the wilderness again.

He still had some time left and if he wanted to remain in the top forty, he could not stop now.

...

Half an hour before the tournament ended, the participants began returning to the starting area.

Those who had obtained flags did not immediately return. They had to wait until the final time, otherwise there was always a chance someone could ambush them and steal their flag before the competition ended.

The other participants who were hunting Beast and wanted to get selected with points ranking had already started arriving.

One after another, figures appeared at the starting area.

Some were carrying bags filled with beast materials, while others looked tired after fighting for the entire day.

Ming Yue also returned.

Unlike most of the other participants, she looked rather relaxed. She had collected a large number of beast materials and had even defeated two of the highest-ranked participants.

Soon, the remaining time passed.

At exactly seven in the morning, the tournament officially ended.

Everyone who had survived the competition gathered at the starting area and began talking among themselves.

Some were discussing their battles, while others were checking the rankings and nervously waiting for the results.

Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared.

Qin Jiang arrived.

The entire area instantly became quiet.

Qin Jiang looked at the participants and said, "Those who obtained the flags, come forward."

Ten people immediately stepped forward.

Each of them took out their red flag and showed it to Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang nodded and pointed toward a certain area.

"Stand over there."

The ten cultivators followed his instructions and moved to the designated area.

Soon, several employees wearing the uniforms of different organizations arrived and began preparing for the points calculation.

Qin Jiang looked at the remaining participants.

"Come forward one by one and hand over your beast materials. Your points will be checked. The top forty participants will qualify for the next round."

The participants immediately became serious.

One by one, they began taking out the beast materials they had collected.

The employees started counting them and recording the points.

Meanwhile, inside the Human Federation Tower, only David and Mo Yuan remained.

Bai Chuan and Mu Bai had already left because they had some matters to deal with. They would return before the final battle began.

David looked at the large screen and smiled.

"That girl Ming Yue will probably take first place."

Mo Yuan nodded.

"With her ability, it was almost impossible for the others to keep up. She defeated both the first and second-ranked cultivators and took a large number of their beast materials."

"Haha, you’re right."

David leaned back in his chair and continued watching the screen.

Mo Yuan thought for a moment before asking, "Senior David, where will the final battle be held?"

David suddenly smiled.

"Here."

"Here?"

A question mark almost appeared above Mo Yuan’s head.

He looked around the room in confusion.

"This tower?"

David laughed.

On the other side

The points were almost completely counted.

As expected, Ming Yue had taken first place. The second place went to a young man named Lin Xun, while the third place belonged to Yang Li. The remaining participants were also ranked according to the number of points they had collected.

Qin Jiang looked toward Ming Yue for a moment before moving his gaze away.

Just like Mo Yuan and the other Sovereign Realm cultivators watching from the Human Federation Tower, he had also noticed Ming Yue’s strange fighting ability.

He was now curious about what kind of talent she possessed.

However, he did not ask her anything about it.

Soon, only fifty people remained in the field.

The others were asked to leave the area.

Qin Jiang looked at the fifty selected cultivators and said, "The final battle will begin in five hours, at twelve in the afternoon. Until then, you can rest or do whatever you want."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"All fifty of you must arrive at the Human Federation Tower before twelve. Anyone who is even one minute late will be disqualified."

The expressions of the fifty cultivators became serious.

"Yes!"

Qin Jiang nodded and disappeared from the area.

The selected cultivators did not stay for long either. Some wanted to rest and recover, while others wanted to prepare themselves for the upcoming battles.

Within a few minutes, the area became empty.

...

12 PM, Human Federation Tower.

The fifty selected cultivators had already arrived.

They stood quietly in the lobby, waiting for the final round to begin. Unlike the earlier preliminary round, there was no loud discussion this time.

Everyone knew that the people standing here were the strongest participants of the tournament.

One mistake could mean elimination.

Meanwhile, on the 100th floor of the Human Federation Tower, all the Sovereign Realm cultivators had gathered.

Mo Yuan was also sitting among them.

David looked at the time and then turned toward Qin Jiang.

"It’s time, Qin Jiang. You can begin the final round."

Qin Jiang nodded.

"Yes."

He stood up from his seat and walked toward the elevator.

Mo Yuan suddenly stood up as well.

"Senior Qin, can I come with you? I want to watch the battles from up close."

Qin Jiang looked at him for a moment before smiling.

"Of course. Let’s go."

"Thank you, Senior Qin."

Mo Yuan turned toward the other Sovereign Realm cultivators.

"I’ll meet you all later."

"Haha fine fine, go and watch," David said with a smile.

Mo Yuan followed Qin Jiang into the elevator.

The doors closed and the elevator quickly descended.

A few moments later, they reached the ground floor.

When the doors opened and Qin Jiang walked out, the fifty cultivators waiting in the lobby instantly became serious.

Qin Jiang was one of the strongest cultivators in Cang Lan Base. His presence alone was enough to make everyone straighten their backs.

However, the moment they noticed the person walking beside him, their expressions changed.

Note: for some reason the reach has been dead for a month, i even tried updating 3 times day but nothing seems to work. I hope i can hit atleast minimum amount for Mgs.
