Chapter 1275 Luck in Drawing Lots

“I’m here to watch the competition,” Headmaster Shan said with a smile.

At the same time, he stared at Zhang Han with a look of complaint.

After returning to the Sea Dragon Star Area, Headmaster Shan immediately went to Heavenly Dragon Star Province. After finding that there was nothing wrong with the academy, he quickly left. It seemed that he must invite Zhang Han to the academy.

Zhang Han was a little helpless about this. Learning that Mengmeng and her fellows wanted to visit the Dragnet Academy, he accepted the invitation, but Headmaster Shan still seemed to doubt it.

“The Dragnet Academy is under control. I’m now looking forward to this competition of Heavenly Dragon Star Province,” added Headmaster Shan.

“Me too. I didn’t expect that I would be able to watch so many exciting battles during my stay in the Sea Dragon Star Area. Come on, you guys. I wish you victory.” Ge Feng cupped his hands.

After saying goodbye, he left.

Headmaster Shan then mentioned Ge Feng’s identity.

There were some supervisors assigned to different Star Areas. They were not permanent staff, and if they wanted to become the regular supervisors of the Zhenlong Faction, some conditions needed to be further satisfied.

Ge Feng was one of the inner supervisors of the Zhenlong Faction in Heavenly Dragon Star Province.

The group of people present were not very interested in such information. The Zhenlong Faction was a great sect in the upper Star Area, and it was indeed very powerful.

However, many of them still felt that it was far away from them, while the others, like Zhang Han and Yue Wuwei, did not care.

“It’s about to begin.”

“Hiss, I’m in high spirits.”

“I heard that there are many experts, who disappeared from the outside world long ago and cultivated in seclusion, showing up this time. Their goal is to enter the Astral Domain.”

Upon hearing these words, Olien said, “There are indeed such seclusive and low-key clans. I’ve heard that there are eight such clans totally. Each clan has at most eight to ten members. Generally speaking, they just cultivate at ordinary times. Most people haven’t heard of them. It is estimated that some people will suffer in face of them. Rumor has it that they are capable of fighting against those who are at a higher level.”

“Don’t underestimate any of your opponents.” Yue Wuwei looked at the crowd and added, “Do your best, but don’t value the ranking too much. Sometimes, your ranking may be beyond your expectation. It’s up to your luck.”

“Yes, it’s up to my luck. God, I hope I won’t fight against the Young Lord!” Wang Xiaowu said instantly.

“I also hope I won’t fight against Master!” Mu Xue also said.

“Me too.”

“And me.”

No one present wanted to fight against Zhang Han.

While they were talking, a series of pictures were shown above the transparent window in front of them.

In the end, it was the picture of an old man, Ge Feng.

“The Qualification Session in the Sea Dragon Star Area of the Twenty-fifth Dragon Ranking Competition is about to begin.

“This time, there are still three lists: the Dark Dragon List, the Earth Dragon List, and the Heavenly Dragon List. Everyone knows the concerned rules. There is no need for me to explain.

“There are thirteen thousand six hundred and forty-three participants for the Dark Dragon List, sixty-five thousand two hundred and sixty-four participants for the Earth Dragon List, and five thousand three hundred and twenty-five participants for the Heavenly Dragon List.

“Now, let me explain the battle rules. One hundred rings, from No. 1 to No. 100, will be opened at the same time. The Intelligence Star System will be used for your drawing lots fairly. No flight is allowed above the area, unless those who have drawn their lots need to directly fly to the rings according to their respective lots. Of course, it must be in the flight passage.

“If you’re lucky enough, you may be the one who can directly enter the second round. Of course, everyone has only one chance to enter the second round. When the number of participants is singular, someone will have such a chance. When it is dual, no one will have the chance to enter the second round.

“Now, the first round of drawing lots of the knockout match, starts!”

Clatter!

Everyone was excited now.

The lots, for the Dark Dragon List, the Earth Dragon List, and the Heavenly Dragon List, were being drawn at the same time.

Above the French windows, there were three categories. Different kinds of symbols were flashing. Many names could be seen. Soon, every two names, representing the two rivals, were linked by a line.

“Who is my rival?”

Mengmeng pressed the button on the armrest of the chair. According to her fingerprint, her opponent’s information was shown in front of the chair.

“Ancadila, the disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect in the Sea Dragon Star Area, Elixir Realm Early-Stage, Ring No. 54, Queue No. 116. Your number in the queue is 116 now.”

“I’ll check mine.” Yue Xiaonao hurriedly pressed the button on the armrest of her chair.

Beep!

Her opponent’s information was also shown.

“Cacau, the disciple of the Water Floating Sect in the Sea Dragon Star Area, Elixir Realm Middle-Stage, Ring No. 36, Queue No. 689. Your number in the queue is 689 now.”

Yue Xiaonao patted her forehead and said, “Oh my god, my number in the queue is over 600 now. I’ll have to wait for a long time.”

“The Dragon Ranking Competition is indeed going to last for a few days. Take your time. A few days will pass soon for us cultivators,” said Headmaster Shan with a smile.

“Let me check my opponent. Great, it’s not one of us,” Mu Xue said in surprise.

She was not afraid of losing, nor was she afraid of fighting against an outsider. She just did not want to fight against anyone on her own side. That would be very boring.

“I won’t battle with one of us, either.” Zhao Feng smiled.

“But your opponent is very powerful,” Li Hao said, “who is a branch leader of the Silver-winged Hall. I heard that she had been at the Yuan Ying Realm Last-Stage for twenty years and has broken through to the Peak-Stage, but the news has not been verified yet.”

Zhao Feng was speechless.

“Let me check my opponent.” Zhang Guangyou laughed. “He’s not one of us, and I don’t know him. Humph, I, Zhang Guangyou, the Lord of Battle will return to the ring and win all the battles!”

“Giggle giggle... Grandpa, you are so confident.” Mengmeng could not help laughing.

“Oh my god! My god! No!”

Suddenly, a painful wail resounded through the room.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Everyone looked back.

Wang Xiaowu was holding his head with both hands, with a despairing expression on his face.

“What’s the matter?”

“Who is your opponent?”

Jiang Yanlan ran over curiously. When she saw it, she had a complex expression on her face.

“Aha, his opponent is Master!” Jiang Yanlan burst into laughter.

Bang!

Everyone present also burst into laughter.

“Xiaowu, it seems that your God doesn’t like you, so you must compete in the resurrection match.” Zhang Guangyou laughed.

Even the corner of Zhang Han’s mouth twitched a few times.

He felt it funny. Xiaowu was so unlucky to pick him as an opponent out of tens of thousands of people.

“I’m done. I must be going to compete in the resurrection match. I haven’t had a fight yet. My God.” Wang Xiaowu collapsed in the chair.

“It’s about to begin. I’m Number One,” said Felina while standing up. Her expression was calm. Being in the God Transformation Realm, she would definitely get a place on the Dark Dragon List, so she was not under pressure in the Sea Dragon Star Area.

She flew from the side door and headed for Ring No. 8.

Her opponent was a young man.

When the two of them went into the ring, the young man cupped his hands, with a look of arrogance on his face.

“That kid is from a clan in the Chaotic Region. He rarely travels outside. He is at the Yuan Ying Realm Middle-Stage, and he is indeed an outstanding person. There are far too many people in the Elixir Realm on the Dark Dragon List,” said Olien.

“Unfortunately, his opponent is the little monster.” Zhang Guangyou laughed.

In the ring, the young man said with a smile, “Felina, right? Don’t worry. I’ll beat you very tenderly. I won’t make you suffer a lot.”

“Oh.”

There was a flash of light.

The young man flew backward, with his hair bristling up.

Lying in the ring and feeling the numbness of his body, he looked greatly confused.

“??? I lost just like that?”

This battle surprised many people.

The young man lost immediately after greeting his opponent. The strength gap was just too great.

The other battles were also in full swing. More than seventy percent of the battles were one-sided and therefore ended quickly.

Then, only a small part of the battles was still in progress.

People could watch the details of the battles on the screens.

Soon, battles began one after another.

Mengmeng was immersed in watching these battles.

After a while, the right armrest of her chair vibrated, and a palm-sized image was projected: “There are ten battles in the queue ahead of you.”

She was about to get in the ring.

Mengmeng did not wait for a long time. There were a few elves, as well as some people of the Cloud Shadow Sky, in the queue ahead of her. Among those eight people in total, five won and three lost.

The first round of the competition was a little chaotic.

Nine, eight, seven...

“It’s my turn soon. I’m going down.” Mengmeng looked a little nervous.

Seeing this, Zhang Han said, “Be gentle and careful. Don’t kill your opponent.”

“Huh?”

Mengmeng was stunned for two seconds. Then she curled her lips, snorted slightly, and flew down from the door.

When she came to the Ring No. 54, she saw Ancadila, the disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect.

There were still two battles ahead of them.

A battle was under way. On the big spectators’ area below, cries and screams could be heard from time to time.

The grand scene made many people aiming at the Dark Dragon List get nervous.

After all, they participated in the competition for the first time.

When the two of them stepped into the ring from either side, the energy layer quickly rose up.

“Your name is Zhang Yumeng. You’re so beautiful.” As they got closer to each other, Ancadila saw Mengmeng’s appearance clearly and his eyes lit up. “I don’t want to win.”

“Aha, you’re so confident,” Mengmeng said with a snort.

“I’m telling the truth. Ordinary people at the Elixir Realm Middle-Stage are not a match for me,” Ancadila said, “and my name is Ancadila. I come from the Heavenly Crane Sect, and I’m the son of the head of the sect. When we fight later, you’ll feel my strength. If you promise to be my girlfriend, I’ll let you win, okay?”

“What did you say?”

Mengmeng’s beautiful big eyes got wide.

Fire Phoenix Spreading Wings!

It was the move she had newly learned.

The two-meter-tall red phoenix quickly rushed toward Ancadila, and its power made him a little dumbfounded.

“Oh no!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

He took out different Defense Treasures and formed three defensive energy layers.

He did not give Mengmeng a chance to change her move at all.

“I admit defeat! I admit defeat!”

Clatter!

In order to protect him, the energy of the ring was scattered on his body.

He was defeated by Mengmeng with just one move.

Mengmeng dispersed the Fire Phoenix, curled her lips, and said, “Such a coward.”

After that, she jumped off the ring and flew to the private room through a passage aside.

Ancadila returned to his private room in a somewhat dispirited manner.

“I lost.”

His father shook his head slightly and comforted him. “It’s not your fault. The one you fought against is Zhang Hanyang’s daughter.”

“What? She is the daughter of Ares Zhang?” Ancadila cried out in surprise.

He usually called Zhang Hanyang by the nickname of “Ares Zhang”. Zhang Hanyang was his idol.

He did not expect to fight against Zhang Hanyang’s daughter. “Oh my god!”

At first, when he saw that his opponent was at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage, he was happy. After all, a person at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage could not defeat him, but in the end...

It was never a nice feeling to be overwhelmed.

Soon, Mu Xue came into the ring, and her opponent was also someone famous.

Three minutes later, Mu Xue came back. She won.

Zhang Guangyou got in the ring aggressively. He waved his broadsword forcefully and defeated his opponent with a simple broadsword skill in two minutes. It was relatively rare in the competition for the Heavenly Dragon List.

When Zhao Feng got in the ring, the Big Dark Devil Shadow appeared. With uncanny body movements plus fighting skills, he defeated his opponent and won.

Yun Feiyang got in the ring and defeated his opponent quickly.

Jiang Bing was overwhelmed by his opponent in one minute and suffered a crushing defeat.

When he came back, he ran to Wang Xiaowu and said, “Let’s participate in the resurrection match.”

When it came to Jiang Yanlan, her opponent was at the Yuan Ying Realm Last-Stage, who performed well but not outstandingly. She soon won.
