Chapter 492: The First Challenge

Qin Chuan followed everyone to a teleportation array.

Swoosh!

As the array formation’s light screen lit up, everyone arrived at a small world.

As far as the eye could see, this small world was a sea of yellow sand.

This place was used as a battlefield.

The paragons were eager to give it a try. They rubbed their palms together, their eyes shining. They couldn’t wait to fight Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan appeared very calm. He knew that there would be fierce battles today, so he had to be mentally prepared.

On the other hand, Xu Longfei was frowning with a gloomy expression. He was especially worried about Qin Chuan.

Lei Ji looked at Qin Chuan and the geniuses and said, “Everyone, this sea of sand is your upcoming battleground.

“Now, you have plenty of time to get used to it. Otherwise, it would be unfair if you can’t unleash your full strength due to the environment.”

The paragons quickly replied, “Sect Master Lei, we don’t have to get used to it. We can start anytime.”

They were all veterans on the Chosen Roll and had experienced hundreds of battles.

Qin Chuan was different.

He never liked fighting.

If the environment was not one he was familiar with, it would indeed affect his strength.

But he didn’t care.

He believed that this impact was not enough to affect his victory.

“Sect Master Lei, I don’t need to get used to it either. I can start anytime.” Qin Chuan bowed.

“Alright! Since none of you need this time, I’ll explain the rules. You have to listen carefully.”

“Yes!”

Lei Ji was an Immortal King and the person in charge of a first-tier faction. Even those paragons with powerful backgrounds did not dare to disrespect him and had to listen obediently.

The rules of battle were similar to the rules of duels outside. One was not allowed to use dharma treasures, magical artifacts in the immortal-grade and above, and all kinds of pills.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

There was no need to worry about cheating when fighting here.

With so many Immortal Kings present, they would be able to spot at a glance if they used any tricks.

In addition, with Immortal Kings present, they could do their best and not worry about killing the other party because the power of their moves was too great.

Immortal Kings were also considered ceiling-level experts. To them, such duels between those below the Immortal realm were like children fighting. They definitely had the ability to avoid casualties.

After introducing the rules, the next step was to choose an opponent.

There were so many paragons present, but there was only one Qin Chuan. He couldn’t possibly let them gang up on him!

To be honest, Qin Chuan didn’t fear that.

He wasn’t completely confident that he could win.

But it wouldn’t be easy for them to defeat him.

Of course, a group fight would not happen. It would be one-on-one.

According to the rules, they had to rest for three to five days after every match.

Because Qin Chuan was alone, he would definitely need to rest after the battle. Otherwise, they would tire him out by taking turns to fight him.

This was very unfair to him.

Of course, these paragons were all proud and arrogant and wouldn’t allow this.

Lei Ji made a few small notes and placed them in a box for these paragons to draw lots.

The notes contained numbers.

The rankings would be decided based on the numbers on them.

Soon, every one had drawn a note.

Number one was the first challenger.

This genius was called Gang Gaoyuan. He was ranked 136th on the Chosen Roll, in the top 150. He was very strong.

If he failed to defeat Qin Chuan, then there was no need for the rest of them ranked lower than him to compete.

They had relied on themselves to climb up the ranks step by step.

There was no exaggeration in his strength, and everyone acknowledged it.

Those like Qin Chuan, whose name had never been heard, would definitely be questioned if he was within the top 100 as soon as he entered.

For these paragons on the Chosen Roll, only their battle achievements could prove their rankings.

Qin Chuan didn’t have any achievements now. He could only be judged by the Heavenly Secrets Court.

Although the Heavenly Secrets Court would not mess up the rankings, especially the top 100, even needing to be especially strict,

Qin Chuan had no achievements and was not famous. Naturally, he could not convince the masses.

At this moment, Gang Gaoyuan was already eager to go. He was already talking tough, claiming that he would defeat Qin Chuan in less than ten rounds.

Qin Chuan had heard too much of such rubbish, so he only smiled.

However, the other party did have the confidence to spout nonsense.

After all, he was ranked 136th on the Chosen Roll. He could easily have the combat ability to surpass two major realms. He could not be underestimated.

Everyone flew into the sky and left space for the two of them.

Everyone was especially curious about this battle.

If it went as Gang Gaoyuan had said, defeating Qin Chuan in less than ten rounds, the Heavenly Secrets Court would lose its authority over the Chosen Roll.

To Qin Chuan, this battle was very important.

This was his first time fighting a paragon on the Chosen Roll in the Immortal Realm.

These prodigies could be said to have the greatest potential and strength among the younger generation of the Immortal Realm.

Defeating them and defeating others would definitely feel different. It would give him a greater sense of accomplishment.

At the thought of this, Qin Chuan’s heart raced, and he became inexplicably excited. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling, and he couldn’t wait to fight.

On the other hand, Gang Gaoyuan was already fantasizing about beating Qin Chuan up.

He was very confident in his strength.

To be honest, the strengths of these geniuses who were in the top ranks of the Chosen Roll were not much different.

Especially with such placings between 100 to 150, it could be said to be negligible.

When they fought with each other, there wasn’t an overwhelming crushing situation unless they deliberately went easy on each other.

Therefore, it was extremely difficult for them to climb up every rank.

At this moment, only the two of them were left on the ground.

Gang Gaoyuan had already spoken harsh words before the battle. Now that the battle was about to begin, he did not say anything else.

With a lunge, he appeared in front of Qin Chuan like a bolt of lightning.

“So fast!” Qin Chuan’s expression changed visibly.

This was the first time he had seen such a fast movement technique below the Immortal realm.

He remembered that when the Demons were challenging them, the paragon of the demon race with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline also had extremely profound movement techniques. He was especially agile, and it was extremely difficult to catch his movements.

However, compared to Gang Gaoyuan, that prodigy of the Demon Race was still lacking, and not just by a little.

Sensing that Qin Chuan was distracted, Gang Gaoyuan quickly swung his fist at Qin Chuan’s chest.

Qin Chuan reacted in time, but it was obvious that Gang Gaoyuan’s fist was faster.

It was too late to block or dodge unless he used spatial teleportation.

However, Qin Chuan didn’t want to be exposed too early.

Therefore, he could only take this strike head-on.

Bam!

There was the sound of flesh being hammered.

Qin Chuan was sent flying like a cannonball.

Gang Gaoyuan did not use much strength in this punch. At most, only 40%.

Had it been anyone else, they would have turned into a bloody mist.

Qin Chuan’s physical body was very powerful, and he had covered his chest with the Law of Gravity, so he wasn’t severely injured.

However, the force of this punch was too great, and it also shook his internal organs into a mess, causing his blood and Qi to surge.

Blood flowed from a corner of Qin Chuan’s mouth.

Fortunately, it was only a minor injury. He could recover in a few breaths.

When the spectators saw Qin Chuan being sent flying with a single strike, their expressions changed.

Xu Longfei frowned tightly. His heart ached as though he had been hit.

Lei Ji and the others frowned slightly. They looked troubled as if they had other opinions.

Most of the geniuses were cheering like they were celebrating their victory in advance.
