Do the Giant Rock and the Zhongyan races have some kind of connection?
Many thoughts went through Wang Teng's mind, but he didn't dwell upon it for long. After all, there was no need for it, and it didn't concern him.
He then left this thought on the backburner.
He felt a little disappointed since there was nothing special. His only choice was to watch the rest of the matches.
…
The competition continued with the rest of the participants after Wang Teng and Berkshire's battle was over.
Soon, the fight for the top 140 ended, which was followed by a revival round; only two people would have the chance to continue.
Once again, it would be settled with a battle royale setting.
In the end, Wade lived up to everyone's expectations and proceeded to the next round.
It was really intriguing!
No one knew how he did it; he was resilient to an extreme. He managed to emerge from the revival rounds after being ousted time and again. He was like an indestructible cockroach.
The other one was Berkshire. There was no need to even think about it.
The rocky fellow was really strong. He wouldn't have been eliminated if he hadn't met Wang Teng.
Next was the fight for the top 71.
Since the competition was reaching its final stages, the allotted recovery time was shortened from five to three days.
Even if they were injured, they would have to participate!
Three days later, the participants were ready and the competition was just about to continue…
The matches would be divided into two days, and they wouldn't take up much time.
From that point onward, it was likely that the ones who had gotten into the zone's top ten spots would be eliminated.
The avatars and names of the participants for the first match appeared on the light sphere.
Yuan Hong versus Su Jianchen!
There was an uproar when their names were revealed.
Yuan Hong!
The first one to appear was Yuan Hong!
And his opponent was the popular Su Jianchen!
Tian Luo Empire!—
The emperor squinted as he looked at the participants on the light sphere; some surprise was evident.
Yuan Hong was ranked first in Zone 4 and renown preceded him. He was extremely powerful. Would Su Jianchen be able to win?
That would definitely be a fierce and intense battle!
Everyone became excited and discussions broke out.
On Zone 1's stone platform—the Second Prince, Ji Haochen, Strachey and the others looked over at the arena.
Those two were participants they were paying attention to!
Su Jianchen was the Tian Luo emperor's personal disciple, who was actually an eternal stage warrior. The young man's potential had to be extraordinary, to catch the eye of such a powerful master.
The tutelage of an eternal stage warrior certainly helped him become extremely powerful, not necessarily weaker than the princes of the imperial family, or the talents from the eight dukedoms.
On the other hand, Yuan Hong was also a disciple of an eternal stage warrior but from the ape race.
His master's race had a rather large population in the Great Qian Empire. There would always be some of their kind who would be fortunate enough to reach the eternal cultivation tier.
Yuan Hong's teacher ruled over a planetary sector within the empire.
Just then, Yuan Hong and Su Jianchen flew up to the sky in unison and locked stares from afar.
The former was a stout ape youth, covered in brown hair. He was clad in menacing battle armor and equipped with a large battle ax behind his back.
The latter was in gray garb, holding an ordinary sword; there was nothing special about it, based on appearance.
Wang Teng looked at the arena with interest, hoping they wouldn't let him down.
The match began!
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and Yuan Hong stormed forward with his ax, slashing down towards his opponent.
Clang!
A crisp sound could be heard as Su Jianchen unsheathed his sword and made a cutting motion.
Boom!
The sword glow and the ax clashed, causing an explosion.
A great fight ensued; they clashed continuously in the sky, while the terrifying Force impacts swept towards their surroundings.
Yuan Hong was a metal-element warrior and his battle ax emitted a golden glow; each of his strikes carried a powerful ultima.
Su Jianchen was also a metal-element warrior. His sword shone brilliantly, releasing countless sword glows that surrounded him. They also had ultima power imbued in them. Every slash was powerful.
"This is a battle between metal element warriors!" many people cried.
Such a battle was too rare!
Their clashes were bound to bring out their metal ultimas to their greatest potential. It was a match between experts who had a deeper enlightenment of metal ultimates. And it wasn't just that…
Many fighters who used the same element were focused on their fight, hoping to gain inspiration from them.
The Third Prince was also a metal element swordsman. He stared at Su Jianchen, since he took him very seriously; he hoped to see the latter's true strength in that match.
Boom!
The attacks from both sides were dispelled at the same time, and the two fighters retreated.
The human's sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and a powerful sword ultima burst out, startling the viewers.
The primate fighter's expression was grave, but he suddenly grinned. His battle ax started to radiate a powerful aura; the feeling was menacing.
The Second Prince watched the battle and commented, "Yuan Hong has a strong malicious aura!"
Ji Haochen shook his head. "I wonder how many people and star beasts he's killed to develop it. These powerhouses' disciples train and cultivate differently from us; it's hard to say which is stronger, but they're definitely more troublesome than us."
Wang Teng yawned and raised his eyebrow. "It's still okay. This aura is not that terrifying."
Timothy glanced at Wang Teng and said, "This isn't terrifying enough? None of us have such a malicious aura. No one can reach this level without killing many."
"Yuan Hong is very powerful. Your tongue might get twisted one of these days." Strachey sneered.
Wang Teng glanced at him. Just when everyone thought he was going to retort, he stuck out his tongue and checked it. "Good thing my tongue's still good."
Strachey was dumbfounded.
Everyone frowned at the young hero.
How is his brain wired? Why would he do such an embarrassing thing?
The Second Prince and the others couldn't bear to look at him.
Strachey couldn't bother to say anything else to his enemy, so he turned to look at the match.
The battle was at its climax.
A horrifying aura was created by Yuan Hong's battle ax. Although formed by metal Force, it was enveloped with a black malicious aura; it wasn't just a simple metal ultima.
Su Jianchen's sword was emitting a golden sword glow. It was sharp and pure!
There was nothing else, only that sword!
Suddenly, both attacked at the same time.
Yuan Hong's ax moved across the sky; its golden glow slashed forward along with the malicious aura.
The aura alone was able to affect a person's will, causing others to fall into a realm of boundless horror and lose their minds, rendering them incapable of fighting again.
However, Su Jianchen was nothing like that; his heart was fixated on swords. He had practiced his sword for more than twenty years and his mind was unwavering. He wouldn't be shaken by the ominous energy.
Boom!
The sword slashed out, and only a terrifying glow remained in the skies.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm The sword brilliance cut through the malicious aura, clashing with the powerful ax glow.
Crack~
A crisp sound was heard. Cracks were formed on the ax glow, before it crumbled away.
The sword light cut straight through and landed on Yuan Hong's body. If it wasn't for the latter using battle armor, he would have been rendered disabled.
Even so, the sword glow slashed through his battle armor, leaving a deep wound on his chest. Large amounts of blood flowed out of his body.
Yuan Hong looked down at his wound and said, "I admit defeat!" There was a trace of bitterness on his face.
Su Jianchen kept his sword and turned to leave.
"Oh my god!"
"Yuan Hong lost. He actually lost!"
"I didn't expect late bloomer Su Jianchen to be stronger than Yuan Hong. This is unbelievable."
"Su Jianchen's sword is too powerful. It was so pure!"
"I suddenly want to practice my sword skills again. What should I do?"
"I practiced for three hundred years, and yet I'm not the least bit as pure as Su Jianchen. I'm trash…"
"Is Su Jianchen one with his sword?"
