Chapter 1482 Chapter 363: A Deadly Sword Strike
“This battle selects the top twenty-five, congratulations to you twenty-five, but don’t be too pleased just yet.”
The Immortal Guard Commander, with eyes like torches, scanned Li Hao and the other twenty-five winners and said:
“The losers also have the right to challenge one winner. If victorious, they can replace them. Each disciple can accept only two challenges. This is a chance for the losers!”
Upon hearing his words, the group of losers were initially stunned, then their eyes brightened.
The group of winners felt somewhat surprised. Some people’s expressions changed slightly, looking a bit gloomy, while most remained calm, considering it merely a slight waste of time.
“So the losers have a chance too? That’s better, it’s fair this way!”
“Great, I just faced that Emperor Clan guy, there’s no way to beat him; he’s almost nailed to advance to the top three. Even if I can make it to the top ten, I’d still lose against such a guy!”
“This top hundred format remains unchanged from before.”
Besides the excited disciples among the losers, the Heavenly Sect members breathed a sigh of relief, as this was consistent with the past.
“It seems, I have another chance.”
Ghost Ling Yue’s eyes flashed with light upon hearing this, as she scanned the figures of the other winners.
At this moment, the twenty-five winners’ golden phantoms were reflected above the Emperor Platform.
Naturally, she wouldn’t challenge Li Hao again; there was no luck or mistake in that battle just now. She lost completely, and won’t be Li Hao’s opponent anytime soon.
Aside from Li Hao, few others gave her much concern.
“This is great, Miss, you still have a chance to seize the top five!”
Beside her, an elder from the Ghost Tribe said joyfully, noting how fair the Southern Domain’s rules were.
Apart from them, others who had lost also began selecting their opponents.
Gu Yan did similarly, feeling pleasantly surprised at such a good opportunity.
He glanced around, searching among the top twenty-five.
Meanwhile, a green-skirted girl who had been defeated also chose from the top twenty-five, carefully avoiding Yue Xi who had previously beaten her.
After three incense sticks of time passed, the Immortal Guard Commander stepped out airily and said: “Now, who will come to challenge first?”
For a moment, the mountaintop fell silent, and the losers became temporarily still.
“I will!”
Soon, someone stepped forward; according to the rules, each winner can only be challenged twice. Even if a weakling among the winners is challenged twice and wins, they can still advance.
Therefore, the earlier you challenge, the better.
“It’s the Tai Kun Clan. If they make a move, they’ll certainly enter the top ten; I wonder which unlucky fellow will be chosen.”
“Oh no, he’s pointing to Chi Xuanyu from our Red Border Immortal Dynasty’s Royal Family!”
“He wouldn’t be considered a weakling, given he’s a member of the Immortal Dynasty’s Royal Family and also from the Xuanyang Clan, ranked in the top fifty among the Hundred Races.”
“The Tai Kun Clan is at least among the top ten large clans; they wouldn’t truly pick the weak, for winning like that would be shameful.”
Among the crowd, various discussions ensued, while inside the Red Border Immortal Dynasty, curses hummed, yet they were powerless to act.
Standing among the Red Border Royal Family, Chi Xuanyu was extraordinarily handsome and tall, but his expression turned as dark as a pot bottom, looking extremely displeased.
He had observed the opponent’s previous performance, realizing he was likely not their match.
“Damn it, do they think I’m neither weak nor strong?”
Chi Xuanyu raged inwardly but still stepped onto the Emperor Platform.
Soon, as both sides entered the arena, the battle was imminent.
This battle was intensely fierce, and although Chi Xuanyu knew he was outmatched, being challenged was unbearable. He resorted to damaging his bloodline foundation and employing secret techniques.
But the Tai Kun Clan youth’s deadly moves were extremely savage. With an invincible immortal body, he eventually suppressed Chi Xuanyu with brute force, taking his spot.
With the losers’ counterattack from the first match, Ghost Ling Yue followed suit, choosing not the weakest but a young genius ranked thirtieth amongst the major clans.
Her battle was quicker; Ghost Ling Yue’s movement technique swiftly closed in, directly expelling the other’s Primordial Spirit from their body, then using her own Primordial Spirit to tear it apart. When she was about to finish, the opponent pleaded for mercy, conceding, only for the Immortal Guard Commander to rescue them in time.
Seeing the fierce performance from the losers, the faces of the other winners grew somewhat unsightly, with only a few maintaining calm composure, like Shen Wuji from the Ancient God Clan, who looked extremely eager as if hoping someone would select him.
Soon, other losers began challenging one after another, but not everyone, like Ghost Ling Yue, possessed such extraordinary power to enter the top ten. Quickly, some managed to defend their status in the winner’s group.
Time slipped by.
As many losers continued to be defeated, their selection became increasingly cautious.
Li Hao saw those losers glance at his golden phantom before promptly skipping over it, knowing fundamentally no one would select him; he found this convenient and peacefully took out the pastries he had bought earlier beside Great Dream Master and began to eat, meanwhile sharing several pieces with Great Dream Master.
Old Man Li smelled the aroma and actively approached Li Hao to ask for some, but Li Hao requested wine in exchange.
Old Man Li expressed dissatisfaction, questioning why he had to trade wine for pastries.
“She’s the Sect Master, and are you?” Li Hao’s words left him speechless.
Feeling Great Dream Master’s gaze, Li Tie Mu naturally showed no temper, though he fumed inwardly, realizing this brat was blatantly opportunistic!
Finally, Gu Yan also chose his opponent.
Great Dream Master picked a weaker soft spot among the top twenty-five for him, but Gu Yan didn’t choose that; instead, he picked Sword Heart.
When witnessing Gu Yan’s choice of opponent, the entire audience was astir, with countless people turning their attention toward this courageous youngster.
