Chapter 691 - Semifinal

Chapter 691

(Unedited)

…

A strong force suddenly controlled the two spears sitting on air above the audience stand near its ceiling. It was inconspicuous and the audience did not notice it. However, right now it is suddenly darting in a certain direction.

Its speed was too quick that only a few people noticed it.

It struck the ground, and then the two spears suddenly disappear. Those who saw it recognized that those were arm length spikes as thick as a thumb, what its purpose is, they did not know. However, they soon realized that it has already disappeared.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao who was the target of those spears just calmly walks toward the booth as if he did not notice anything.

In fact, after the two spears hit the ground, he immediately grabs it with his psychokinesis ability and controls it so that it would not be able to move.

After deflecting the spears so that it would not hit him, he immediately covered it with his mental ability so that it would not move again.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Le'as Modrid has a look of horror on his face. This is because, although he could still feel the presence of the two weapons, he is already unable to control them. He didn't know what is happening and is now sweating in anxiety and there's a bit of despair that could be seen in his eyes.

Those two spears are special and could not be locked by someone's domain because of the special material used in contracting them. That's why he is confident to bring them out and use them to kill a mere peasant.

However, due to his worry, he was not able to think and suddenly launch the attack. Who would have known that he would not be able to control them again after that? Although he can still feel that the weapons are within the crowd.

Unknown to him, Shin Jiao is already holding onto the weapons. But his forehead is filled with beads of sweat as he tries to focus his concentration on restricting its movements and covering its aura.

As someone with a unique cultivation method, he is sensitive to the aura around the weapons. When he was already seated and Le'as is not in the audience stand anymore, a smirk suddenly appears in his mouth.

Then with a thought, he forcefully restricts the two weapons with all his mental power and when they are unable to move, he immediately drags them into his space ring.

Once he did that, Le'as who is sitting on the High Elves booth suddenly feels his mental connection to the weapons suddenly disappearing.

Then a strong headache assaulted him. But he was already prepared for this result and immediately decided to cut off his connection with the two weapons. He would rather lose those two than suffer the rebound of the strong mental bond.

Arrgghh!!!

He groaned in pain as he held his head. Then two streaks of blood flow out of his nose as large veins appear on his face.

His teammates who saw him was a bit concerned and immediately asked if he is doing okay.

He quickly turns around and runs out of the booth. While doing so he was wiping the blood on his nose. He still has to hold this pain in his head for a couple of minutes before the painful rebound would go away.

He didn't know what is happening, or who has taken his two special weapons, but one thing is for sure. He would not let them get away with it.

"I'll find you and I'll kill you along with that stupid human," he muttered as his eyes show fierceness and anger.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is already smiling as he knew he has obtained another good material. He is really curious as to why he could not determine the materials used in constructing those two weapons. But he is determined to find it out after they got back to Vitol town.

…

After the matchups, half of the contestants are already defeated and only 74 fighters are left. There are 37 fighters in the silver armored division and 37 in the gold armored division.

In Vitol town golden armored division, only Fushang Xu and a blonde male from the Osmond clan was left. The others were defeated; Ava Vin was lucky enough to not die and was able to surrender on time. Her opponent is a High Elf woman who has entered the top 10 in the last year's contest.

Meanwhile, Vitina Kiwazo won her fight but suffered some grievous wounds in her body. Shin Jiao helped her heal her wounds as the medicine provided by the alchemist in the city has a very slow reaction.

With the help of the three local lords of Vitol town, they secretly gave her one of the healing pills that the town created. And in just a couple of hours, her wounds have already recovered.

After a few hours of rest, the semifinal is about to begin.

In the 74 fighters that were left a particular town beside the High Elves stands out. It is the town of Fallen Crest. This is because the town has the most fighters left. There are still four gold armored and four silver armored fighters in their lineup.

It was a really impressive lineup as they are almost comparable to the High Elves which has 4 fighters with levels 76 to 79 or gold armor protectors and still has a complete lineup of lower-level fighters.

And now, not more than 20 towns are left.

The fighting ground suddenly change and began moving on their own. The portals were sent inside the coliseum through the side gates and a large platform that looks like a small pyramid rose from the ground.

Then a new planet was displayed floating about the platform.

The planet has many different parts and one could not see any living creature on the planet. As the audience observe, they soon realized that it was an artificially crafted planet. This is because they could see the chaotic combination of the planet which is making it a bit unstable.

The planet is divided into five parts, the snowy part, the volcanic part, the rainforest part, the desert part, and the part where only water could be seen and many small islands.

"For the semifinal, as usual, we will have a 7-days survival battle in the Primordial Chaos planet. Those who will survive the 7-days survival battle will proceed to the finals."

A voice was heard all over the stadium as the audience listened.

Everyone has a look of expectation in their eyes as they could not wait for the Battle Royale to start. In fact, many are waiting for this moment in the contest. This is where they could see the true brutality of war.

There are even many atrocities committed by some immortals in this part of the contest, but no one stops them. Because in this stage, one can feel and see the true meaning of the galactic war that every immortal would be facing once they come out of the immortal land.

Those who are new and seeing this even for the first time are filled with awe and worry in their eyes. But those who have already experienced it showed determination and will to fight.

Vitina Kiwazo who is standing beside Shin Jiao has her hands clenched tightly while looking at the familiar planet.

Last year, she was not lucky enough to enter the semifinal as her group was eliminated and has only reached the top 100 bottom ranks.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-geared-immortal_13180047806027405/semifinal_50432759398713190 for visiting.

But this year just like some other lucky years, she once again reaches the semifinal. She has been preparing for this battle but when she noticed the lineup of fighters in the other towns, she felt a bit discouraged.

"Hey, cheer up! If we both work hard we might be able to survive this." Shin Jiao who has noticed her anxiety tapped her shoulder.

Vitina's worrying mind was interrupted by Shin Jiao and she just gives him a glance and nodded her head.

"This time we will be working with Fushang and Vral."

"So you mean there is no division of power level in the semifinal?"

"There are none. It is supposed to simulate a true battle experience. So don't expect fairness in here. Plus the planet might look lifeless, but there are shadow creatures and even shadow beings that are staying in that place. So I advise you to be careful." She warned.

"You might have met a shadow creature before, but shadow creatures are different from those shadow beings. In fact, I think this would be the first time that you might encounter a shadow being. Shadow beings are crafty, scheming, and very dangerous. Their weird abilities are very terrifying. Plus if we fight against shadow beings no one can monitor us. It was as if those shadow beings that live on that planet has discovered a way to conceal themselves from the prying eyes of the immortals. So just pray that we might not encounter one." She added.

When Shin Jiao heard her warning, he showed a surprised look on his face. If others have not encountered a shadow being and lives to tell the tale, he is different. He has encountered one and even killed one. He even learned their weird skill which he has incorporated into some of his previous gears which were destroyed and turned into dust upon his entry to the immortal land.

"The four of you should prepare for battle. You must give it all you've got. If only one of you could survive the semifinals, then we can get all the ingredients we needed for the shop." Aiya Wine said while looking at the stage outside of their booth.

She then showed a faint smile on her face as took a glance at Shin Jiao. In her heart, she is not worried. She has seen how Shin Jiao fights and knew that he is not that simple.

With determination in their hearts, the four people inside the booth replied.

"Yes, my lord!"

"We will do our best to survive!" added Fushang Xu.

And so the semifinal has begun…
