Chapter 1028 Mini Battle (I)
1028 Mini Battle (I)
After establishing everything, Wang Wei returned to the Heavenly Court. Everybody in the world was focusing on the new system, especially the Supreme, Holy, and Law Lands. They knew the next court meeting was significant and wanted to increase their strength quickly. Sadly, three hundred years was not long enough to have much effect.
Wang Wei did not care about how they felt. He was focused on the fact the expansion of the court and the Dream World was slower than expected and needed to speed things up.
He headed directly to the core of the Dream World and called Dong Lifen, consulting her on how to amass the power of dreams from people. In the cultivation world, virtually anything can be a source of power or strength, and dreams are no exception.
Although it was rare for cultivators to dream since they spent most of their time in cultivation or replaced sleeping with meditation - they still dreamt. So, the two worked together to gather the power of dreams secretly from all sentient beings. The process was easier than expected due to the fact that 99% of people in the world used the Dream World and had some form of connection with it one way or another.
Once Wang Wei finished, he sent an invitation to a few people across the world and waited. Thê ïñčëptïøn øf thïš çøntënt çån bë tråçëd tø n0v€1b¡n★
Enlightening Emperor Academy:
Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the ground before a simple white and gold grave. He held a gourd of wine in his left hand while his right caressed the engraved words on this tomb:
[In loving memory of Lin Huan: a blessed child taken away by this cruel world before her light could shine.]
Lin Fan looked at the tomb, not hiding the pain in his eyes. He rested his back on it while drinking, his mind filled with created memories of what his child would have been like, what gender it would have been, and what kind of activity they would have done together.
He searched for this Memory Manipulation Technique just for this occasion and even modified it when it was not potent enough. Usually, he would use the Dream World for such a thing, but he felt it was not intimate enough and chose this way.
"I know you would be here."
The world was in the midst of its rapid development when everyone received a notification from the Dream World. A large event was about to occur in the Battle Tower as former Heaven Chosens were about to battle it in a tournament that anyone could watch.
As soon as the news was released, 70% of the world's population stopped what they were doing and tuned in. Of the remaining 30%, a quarter of them were in deep retreat cultivating or refining pills, so they could not participate. The remaining two quarters did not care for battles, and since this event would not drastically influence the world-at least not in this generation-they did not care to watch.
Soon, the battle began. Wang Wei chose a more tournament style instead of an all-out brawl. However, he did not place many restrictions on the battle, so they could fight as they wished, including using large armies (with a limited amount of troops). The seven participating individuals publicly took papers out of a box that randomly assigned their first battle opponent. The final results for the first round were: [Yang Guowei vs Jingwu Hua]
[Yin Gen vs Zhen Biyu]
[Lin Fan vs Jian Wushuang]
Xiao Songxi was lucky to be qualified for the second round without any fights. The rules of this tournament were odd. At first, this will be a one-round knockout tournament, meaning only the victor of a match will proceed to the next round. However, after the winner of the tournament is decided, the remaining participants will have a chance to fight each other and use a Point System to determine ranking.
Besides the Champion, every participant will have fought everyone else at least once. Then, the second and third place will have an opportunity to battle the champion for the first time or a rematch to reclaim the throne.
The first match was soon broadcast, and it was exciting. Yang Guowei demonstrated the versatility of his Chromatic Dao. He used colors to their limit as he controlled anything that had a color to it. Yang Guowei used the symbolism, myths, or legends associated with colors. In some ways, his Dao is a lesser form of Creation Dao.
Sadly, this did not change his fate of defeat. Jingwu Hua fought with an unparalleled vigor she had never displayed in her life. She was aggressive and passionate, which made her flame burn even brighter and with more destructive potency. Ultimately, she used the power of the Emperor Bone to its limit and beyond, winning the battle.
As Wang Wei watched her winning smile, he could deduce some of this girl's psychology; she wanted to prove to herself and her father that her previous failures did not define her. With her newfound confidence and state of mind, she can prove the Dao and become an Eternal, then help her father and the Golden Crow Clan.
The next battle was Yin Gen vs Zhen Biyu. This battle was also fierce and probably the people's favorite, primarily because of Zhen Biyu. One of the Five Elements is the most common or widespread laws used in the cultivation world, and her pinnacle display of these laws was a crowd favorite as they learned much from her.
Sadly, her opponent was Yin-a truly powerful body refiner. Before the match began, Wang Wei knew she would lose since Yin Gen had already entered the Infant Fiendgod Force. Additionally, he seemed to have sublimated his Zombie Art as it was no longer too Yin Focus; it was now more balanced.
Of course, the battle was not easy for Yin Gen. Firstly, he was hiding his strength and did not go all out. Secondly, Zhen Biyu successfully reverted the Five Elements into Yin-Yang Dao, increasing the power and versatility of her battles.
Wang Wei was very satisfied with this battle and praised both of them. Yin Gen continued to show the world he was a genuinely talented individual on the body-refining path. Meanwhile, Zhen Biyu took another step in development after successfully having two distinctive personalities. However, he could also tell the threat of Emperor Five Heart was still looming over her head, thus preventing her Dao Heart from being perfect.
The final battle of the first round was Lin Fan against Jian Wushuang, which could be considered the main event. Many people focused on them, especially those who knew these two shared the same fate in their generation.
