Chapter 318: A Few More Competitions

After 10 or so different matches, Wan Li finally came onto the stage. His fight was very simple. He would throw out energy blasts of red colors to the opponent and did so until he won. 

His opponent had a water elemental root too from what Alex could see, but since he was weaker, Wan Li's fire element attacks easily won against him.

After a few matches, Luo Mei walked up to the stage. 

Alex wasn't worried about his senior sister. That was until Wen Cheng said, "Sh*t." Alex didn't understand why he said that. Her opponent was a man with a violet robe with white linings. 

"Is he strong," Alex asked. 

"His sect is. It's called the Lesser Immortal sect. It's one of the first 5 sects to reach the 1st grade. Hopefully, this opponent isn't a problem for her," Wen Cheng said. 

Her opponent was a tall man that took out a bow. The bow looked expensive and was probably a Common Heaven rank item. 

Seeing her opponent, Luo Mei brought out her blue, rapier-like sword as well. 

"Begin."

As soon as the words left the referee's mouth, the man pulled back his bow, and a brown arrow formed on his bow. He released it and the arrow immediately flew towards Luo Mei. 

Luo Mei wasn't any slower either. She made a simple slash and blue energy flew forth and hit the arrow.

BOOM

A violent explosion rang out that shook both of them.

Alex's body jerked a little from the surprise of the explosion. When the dust settled, a brown barrier could be seen in front of the man. 

"Ah, so we have nothing to worry about, right master? Her water attack destroyed his earth attack," Alex said. 

"Yes. It seems that she has an upper hand. Thank god, he must be one of the weaker ones to join the singles battle," Wen Cheng said. Alex concurred. 

Luo Mei's and the other person's fight lasted a little longer, but Luo Mei had no real trouble winning. 

Few more matches took place after that. Du Yuhan's match ended in a single blow. The other remaining guy from the Hong Wu sect unfortunately matched up with a disciple from the Myriad beast sect. He had to fight against both man and beast in the 1st Mind Tempering realm, which was impossible for him. 

By the end of the competition, only 64 disciples remained and the audience was starting to realize what sect they had to keep an eye on. 

Some of these sects were Tiger Sect, Royal Fu Academy, Golden Eagle sect, Honor sect, Thousand Hands sect, Cloud Valley sect, Myriad Beasts sect, True Wisdom sect, and Lesser Immortal sect.

Thousand Hands sect was a sect that dealt with puppets, and the Cloud Valley sect, as well as the Myriad Beasts sect, dealt with beast taming. 

These three sects were considered the most annoying to fight due to having to fight multiple fighters at once. 

Unfortunately, the Little Dawn sect and Spirit Song sect didn't make it to the top 64 despite their explosive talismans and pills. 

Once the Single Battles were done, it was time for the next set of competitions. 

The first one was a flying competition. Everyone started by hovering 1 meter off of the ground. Once they were told to start, the contestants had to fly as high as they could in 10 seconds. Then they had to stay flying for another 10 seconds. The final position was regarded as the highest height one flew to. 

The second one was a weight-carrying competition. A person had to hold a weight in midair above a meter in height. The host would slowly add more and more weight until the participants caved under the weight and couldn't hold it above the meter line. The one that could carry the most weight for more than 10 seconds won. 

The third competition was the Multiple Attention competition. The competitors had to carry objects, in this case, small balls, one by one and keep them hovering in the air at least half a meter distance apart from each other. This forced them to use individual Qi connections to carry objects instead of collective. The one who could hold the most midair without dropping any or having them get closer than half a meter won. 

The fourth competition checked the total quantity of one's Qi. This was naturally skewed towards those in the higher realm. The contestants were made to pour in as much Qi as they could in a metal ball that changed color based on the amount. It started from being a black sphere and got whiter as the Qi was poured in. The one whose ball was the most white won. 

The fifth competition checked the Qi density of one's Qi. This too was naturally skewed towards those in the higher realm. The contestants were once more made to pour in Qi, but not a lot this time. The black sphere that took in their Qi and get whiter the denser it was. The person whose ball was the most white at the end won. 

These 5 competitions took around 3 hours to end. Those that took part in the competitions were given a single spirit stone and allowed to cultivate inside a Qi Gathering formation as well as given a Qi restoration pill to get them back on their feet in case they had another fight competition coming up next. 

Alex watched all of these competitions and wondered if he could do well in these competitions. The one about Qi amount was a no for him due to his cultivation base. But the other ones he was quite hopeful about. 

He had a good Qi density, he could fly pretty high, he hadn't checked how much he could carry, but that should be a lot as well, and he was very confident in winning the multiple attention competition. 

'I wonder what cultivation base my Qi density compares to,' he thought. 

Once all the five competitions were over. It was time for the final competition of the day. The Singles Battle between the top 64 contestants.
