Chapter 1271 - 1371: Sparring Battle

As of now, the only effective method is to wait here. After all, the Yuan Chu True Master had experimented before, and attempting to escape would directly lead to being chased. So currently, we can only wait inside the Chaos Divine Pearl for a few days and see what happens!

However, after waiting for half a day, Ye Tianfan came up with an idea: they could have the Yuan Chu True Master create a replica of the Tai Chu True Master.

By refining a puppet-type Magical Treasure that mimics everything about the Tai Chu True Master, it would be a one-time use item. Once the Spiritual Power inside the Magical Treasure is exhausted, it will automatically destroy itself!

When Ye Tianfan proposed this method, Yuan Chu True Master deemed it feasible, so they began preparing for this plan, which would take about half a month!

And since everyone was idle inside the Chaos Divine Pearl, they decided to hold a martial arts tournament there, just to pass the next fifteen days!

With that, as soon as the decision to hold the tournament was made, the draw ceremony began immediately.

Everyone was excited and smiling because they thought that there was no shame in competing; it's just sparring. Furthermore, they each had some reputation in the entire sect world and were often compared to others. This way, losing wasn't embarrassing; at most, it just confirmed who could defeat whom. Conversely, if they won, their fame would rise to another level.

The crowd gathered in the large square inside the Chaos Divine Pearl. Those of Sect Leader rank didn't participate in the tournament because if a Sect Leader level lost, it would indicate their sect was inferior to another. To maintain harmony in the world, Sect Leader levels did not participate in the tournament!

Afterward, everyone lined up and started the draw, and a little later, it was Ye Tianfan's turn to draw.

After stating his name, an Elder in charge of the draw brought out a rosewood box and said to Ye Tianfan, "Draw a lot, the number you get is the number, and after the draw is complete, the match-ups will be based on these numbers: Number one versus Number two hundred fifty-six, Number two versus Number two hundred fifty-five, Number three versus Number two hundred fifty-four, and so on. For the second round, there will be another draw, similar to the first round, with the first number facing the last number and the second number facing the second to last number. The third and fourth rounds will follow this pattern until the finals. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Ye Tianfan replied.

After Ye Tianfan finished speaking, he reached into the rosewood box.

In fact, these tournament rules were essentially the same in every sect. It was entirely about luck, but at most, luck could only carry you through two or three rounds, and then it came down to the elites, where luck combined with strength!

Ye Tianfan drew a small piece of paper and opened it to see.

Participants had to directly state their number after drawing, and those in charge of the draw arranged the match schedule for them.

"I am Number two hundred thirty-one!" Ye Tianfan told the draw master his number, then turned and walked to the side since at this point, Senior Brother Yun Tian and the others had already finished drawing and were waiting nearby.

"I am Number two hundred thirty-one, Senior Brother Yun Tian, Bai Feng, what numbers do you have?" Ye Tianfan asked upon seeing Senior Brother Yun Tian.

Actually, Ye Tianfan knew the odds of drawing Senior Brother Yun Tian and Bai Feng among over two hundred participants were quite low.

Given the current situation, Ye Tianfan didn't know how many rounds he could advance because the other participants were either of Elder rank or the heads of halls.

There were very few of Ye Tianfan's rank. He calculated that, including himself, there were only about thirty of them, those below the Basic Knowledge stage, with only over thirty people.

"Junior Brother Tianfan, Number one hundred thirty-two, it seems we won't face each other. You should match against Number twenty-five, and mine is Number one hundred thirty-two, matching against Number one hundred twenty-four. We won't meet for several rounds," Senior Brother Yun Tian said to Ye Tianfan.

Senior Brother Yun Tian genuinely did not want to encounter Ye Tianfan. Considering Ye Tianfan's strength, which had already surpassed his, plus possessing two Supreme Magical Treasures, it seemed in this tournament, among their generation, those below the Basic Knowledge stage, no one could defeat Ye Tianfan. He hoped to last a few more rounds; otherwise, it would be too disgraceful to be eliminated in the first round. After all, Senior Brother Yun Tian didn't think Ye Tianfan would be knocked out in the first round.

"Bai Feng, what's your number?" Ye Tianfan asked Bai Feng.

"Sigh, I am Number one hundred twenty-four, matching against Senior Brother Yun Tian," Bai Feng said with some frustration.

"You're really out of luck!" Ye Tianfan told Ye Baifeng, though Ye Tianfan knew Bai Feng was no match for Senior Brother Yun Tian. Although Bai Feng was strong, it would only be in a desperate situation where all his Magical Treasures were used, yet he still couldn't win against Senior Brother Yun Tian, but at least he could pose some challenge.

But now, since it was just a sparring match, there would be no reckless fighting, so Bai Feng's strength would be limited to seventy percent.

Even at full strength, Bai Feng couldn't defeat Senior Brother Yun Tian, let alone when his strength was limited, making it impossible to beat Senior Brother Yun Tian, which was why Bai Feng was distressed.

However, even if Bai Feng didn't encounter Senior Brother Yun Tian, he could still face others and get eliminated. Bai Feng couldn't fully exert his strength, being severely restricted, and most of the participants were elites.

If truly calculated, Bai Feng ranked about twenty among those thirty-plus participants, leaving him with almost no hope of victory.

Even if Bai Feng drew another opponent, there was a still strong likelihood he would be knocked out in the first round unless Bai Feng decided to fight with all his might.

But there was really no need—after all, fighting desperately would cost Bai Feng many Magical Treasures.

Smaller treasures, while reusable multiple times, did not satisfy Bai Feng's pursuit of significant results. To craft a powerful treasure, they could only be one-time use.

Given Bai Feng's strength limitations, he couldn't forge stronger Magical Treasures. His Spiritual Power just couldn't withstand it, no matter how many Spiritual Power-enhancing pills he consumed; he couldn't handle the energy required to forge high-level treasures.

This meant Bai Feng's usage of Magical Treasures was limited; he would only use his disposable treasures against real adversaries.
