Chapter 618

Although they were both ninth-rank True Gods, the strong man in golden armor and the man in animal hide chose to ignore the black-robed woman. Instead, they glared at each other, their fighting spirit rising infinitely.

According to Gu Ding's judgment, the reason the black-robed woman was ignored was not because of her gender, but because her aura was relatively weak. In contrast, the strength of the strong man in golden armor and the man in animal hide was very similar. They were both peak ninth-rank True Gods, which was why they glared at each other.

However, Gu Ding made a mistake in his judgment. His previous judgment was that the two of them would not fight in this kind of elimination round. However, it turned out that he was very wrong. Not only did the two of them fight, but they also fought fiercely.

In the entire arena, the people who were happily killing the low-rank True Gods were suddenly affected by the battle between the two. Many people could only barely hold on so that they could pass the elimination round. However, after the two of them fought for an hour, the results of the elimination round in this arena were obviously extremely tragic.

Out of ten thousand True Gods, only three ninth-rank True Gods passed the elimination round. None of the others stood up. From beginning to end, the black-robed woman stood in the same position, like a humanoid puppet. She did not move even once, nor did she make a single move. From beginning to end, she stood in the middle of the storm of battle between the two men, watching the two men fight until the end.

Although this result was out of many people's expectations, the other people in the arena could only blame their bad luck. Elimination was elimination, and the established rules of the competition could not be changed for any reason.

An hour later, the results of the elimination round were finally out.

For the beginner ranks, 590,000 people signed up. After the elimination round, there were more than 55,000 people left. For the advanced ranks, more than 280,000 people signed up. After the elimination round, there were more than 26,000 people left.

The results of the preliminary elimination round were soon announced, and Capson announced how the second round of elimination would be conducted. "The preliminary elimination round is over, so I'll now talk about the rules of the second round of elimination.

"In the second round of elimination, there are still many people, and we have a limited number of arenas, so the time for the elimination round is also limited. Therefore, I'm thinking of conducting another collective elimination round for all the contestants. It will still be ten thousand people per arena, and only one-tenth of the victors will be left. "

When Capson said this, Gu Ding was actually a little disappointed. He had thought that it would be a new way to play the game with different rules, but this kind of rule was indeed the best way to keep the strong players.

"Those whose numbers are within 100,000 will be in the first arena. Those whose numbers are between 100,000 and 200,000 will be in the second arena, and so on. Therefore, on each arena, there should be less than ten thousand contestants. But this was not important. As long as there was less than a tenth left in the end, the screening would be over. The three ranks competed at the same time, and the rules of the competition were the same as before. They were all limited to one hour. If you can't complete it, everyone in the arena will be eliminated. "

"Fifty-five thousand people of the beginner ranks are in the first to sixth arenas. Eighty-one thousand people of the Intermediate Division were in arenas seven to fifteen. The twenty-six thousand high-level fighters were in the sixteenth to seventeenth arena. Now, they had all found their respective arenas. Those who entered the wrong arena would be deemed to have forfeited the match. Also, the act of clearing out all the contestants in the arena was not allowed to happen again. Anyone who does that again will be disqualified. "

When Capson said this, his gaze fell on the golden-armored man and the man in animal skin.

The two of them only glanced at Capson and did not say anything.

Gu Ding followed the instructions of the commentator and arrived at arena seven.

When everyone was there, Neptune scanned the number of contestants. There were a total of 9,353 contestants in arena seven. In other words, there would be a maximum of 935 people left in this arena. Although it was not much different from the total number of people in the previous arenas, it was actually very different from before.

Now, all the people standing in the arena were people who had gone through the first round of screening. This was different from the first round of screening where people of all cultivation levels could participate. Now, in the entire arena seven, Gu Ding was the only one whose cultivation level was lower than an eight-star half-step True God. There were more than five thousand eight-star half-step True Gods and more than four thousand nine-star half-step True Gods.

The final number of people selected was only 935. This meant that not only would these five thousand eight-star half-step True Gods be wiped out, but there would also be less than a quarter of the nine-star half-step True Gods left in the end. The intensity of the competition was not just one level higher than before, but several levels higher!

Since only one person's cultivation level seemed to be at the level of a seven-star half-step True God, many people's eyes fell on Gu Ding and began to secretly have ideas about Gu Ding.

Although Gu Ding's previous performance was very shocking, no one in the other arenas had seen it except for a few people in arena one. Therefore, it was normal for people to target Gu Ding.

"Match … Start!" Capson ordered.

The people in the seventeen arenas moved.

In arena seven where Gu Ding was, there were twelve people who immediately rushed toward Gu Ding. The twelve of them scrambled to be the first to pounce on him with ferocious looks on their faces.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, only raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stood motionless. To outsiders, it looked like he was scared silly.

The first person to rush toward Gu Ding was a skinny young man in a white robe. He leaped high into the air and stepped toward Gu Ding. Gu Ding did not see how Gu Ding moved, but the young man in the white robe's attack missed. In the next moment, Gu Ding clamped down on the young man's throat and broke his neck with a crack. Then, he threw the young man out like he was throwing a sack.

Gu Ding had a sense of propriety and did not kill the young man. For a lifeform with strong vitality, having their neck broken would not result in death. At most, it would be a state of injury, and they would not be able to move for a short period of time. As long as the broken bones were reattached within a certain period of time, they would quickly recover.

Before the others could react, Gu Ding's attack had already started. He slammed his palm on the second person's chest and directly shattered the other person's sternum. Then, he turned his palm into a fist and smashed the third person's chin from the bottom up. After that, he turned his fist into an elbow and ruthlessly hit the fourth person's face …

The twelve people's attacks were completely neutralized by Gu Ding in an instant, and the situation was completely reversed.

Seeing the twelve people being thrown out almost at the same time, blood gushing out of their bodies, many people finally realized how terrifying Gu Ding was.

"This seventh-rank fellow is just too terrifying." This was what many people in the same ring thought at the same time.

There was a reason for them to sigh. Among the twelve people who pounced on Gu Ding, seven of them were eight-star half-step True Gods, and five of them were nine-star half-step True Gods. An ordinary nine-star half-step True God would not be able to handle such a lineup. Perhaps only a peak nine-star half-step True God would be able to kill them in an instant like Gu Ding did.

Naturally, Gu Ding did not know what the others were thinking. His goal was very simple, which was to participate in the Martial Arts Conference and get into the top three. Only by getting into the top three would it be possible for him to come into contact with the Palace Master of Divine God Palace. What was going on now was just a screening competition. During the competition, he did not take the initiative to attack because he did not want to expose his true strength in advance. However, for those who took the initiative to provoke him, he could only kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

As it turned out, this method of killing the chicken to warn the monkey was indeed very effective. In the arena, the area around Gu Ding became a vacuum again, and no one dared to approach him.

Gu Ding stood motionless as he silently watched the number of people standing in the arena rapidly decrease.

Soon, all the eight-star half-step True Gods were eliminated. Just as the nine-star half-step True Gods were about to fight each other, a figure walked out from the crowd.

It was a golden-haired young man with a handsome face. However, his face was filled with arrogance. The young man was Kaiser, whom Gu Ding had seen during the registration — the young man who rode the Purple-Blooded Crystal Chariot.

Kaiser walked up to Gu Ding and looked at him arrogantly before saying, "You're just a seven-star half-step True God. The Martial Arts Conference is not something people of your cultivation level can participate in. Wait a few thousand years, when you become a nine-star half-step True God, then participate. As for now, you can admit defeat and leave, and I won't make things difficult for you. "

"What if I say no?" Gu Ding grinned after he heard that.

Gu Ding could roughly guess the reason why Kaiser advised him to withdraw. Kaiser was an extremely arrogant and narcissistic person. For him, a seven-star half-step True God to pass the screening with him was a disgrace. That was why he had defeated all the people in his arena who were less than nine-star half-step True Gods. As a result, less than six hundred people in his arena had passed the preliminary screening. Gu Ding knew about this as well. Therefore, when he saw his opponent in the same ring as him, he had already predicted that this would happen.

"You have no right to say no in front of me!" Kaiser looked coldly at Gu Ding, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"Is that so? Look at my lips." Gu Ding grinned. "No, no, no, no, no …"

Gu Ding spat out the word 'no' several times in a rhythmic manner. After a long time, he continued to add fuel to the fire. "What's wrong? I've said no more than a hundred times. What can you do to me?"

"You're courting death!" Kaiser did not expect Gu Ding to provoke him in such a way. He was a little stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react.

The other people in the arena also stopped fighting and looked in the direction of the two men. They all looked like they were watching a good show.

"I'll give you a word of advice. Before you talk big, you should first consider your own capabilities before opening your mouth! That way, you won't make a fool of yourself in the future. "Gu Ding threw another taunt at him, and Kaiser was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"I'll kill you!" Kaiser finally could not hold it in and completely exploded.
