Chapter 198: Chapter 197: The End of the First Round of the Competition

With the falling fragmentation fireball, the entire light curtain was engulfed in flames.

Screams of the three Tower Defense Style disciples could be heard through the live broadcast.

Subsequently, three more people were eliminated from the competition.

“Alright, this one-sided slaughter has come to an end. Now let’s see the performance of the other Senior Brothers,” said the young girl commentator.

The broadcast screen turned, and the focus shifted to Qian Wanbing.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of Sword Cultivators.

“Fellow Sword Cultivator Senior Brothers, it’s in your best interest to let me go. Even if you eliminate me, you will lose more than half of your people.”

“It’s not worth it.”

As Qian Wanbing spoke, he pointed to the Flaming Cannon behind him.

“When I fire this cannon, Sword Cultivator Senior Brothers within a 100- “There’s no harm in letting me go, and when I come across lone Sword Cultivator Senior Brothers later, I’ll show mercy.” Qian Wanbing finished speaking and calmly looked at the five Sword Cultivator disciples not far away.

If his last Flaming Cannon shell were not useful, he really believed he could eliminate the five Sword Cultivator disciples in front of him.

The five Sword Cultivator disciples looked at each other, and all nodded silently in agreement. It was indeed not worth it.

“The five Senior Brothers are looking for Xiong Li, right? We have the same goal, so how about forming an alliance?”

“If Xiong Li makes it to the Competition Stage, we will all lose the opportunity to be the first place.”

Qian Wanbing prepared a spherical, temporary communication device, and threw it to one of the Sword Cultivators.

“When you encounter Xiong Li, crush this, and I’ll get the message and come to your aid quickly.”

“When I crush it upon meeting Xiong Li, your temporary Communication

Talisman will vibrate, guiding you to the direction of Xiong Li and me.”

Just like that, Qian Wanbing and the five Sword Cultivators formed a temporary alliance.

In the spectator stands, Ji Muhua, puzzled, asked, “Why are they all targeting Xiong Li?”

“Because Xiong Li is the strongest existence among this generation of disciples. The strong ones are always lonely.”

“Another reason is that in the previous daily Competition Stage, Xiong Li had almost bullied all his fellow disciples of this generation.”

“That’s why he’s a bit of a target.”

“Although he’s being targeted in the game, Xiong Li is a well-known Senior Brother outside the game and is the spiritual leader of this generation of disciples. ”

“Oh,” Ji Muhua nodded, pretending to understand.

At this time, in a hidden corner of the Great Escape Killing world, Yu Qianshan and Qiu Ziyuan had come together.

They looked at each other and laughed.

Qiu Ziyuan, looking at the Giant Rock Spiritual Beast, said with some emotion: “l understand why your Beast Control is so powerful.”

“After all, our sect’s overall combat capability is high, and it’s not strange that your early-stage power is not prominent.”

Yu Qianshan, who was hiding under the Giant Rock, said in frustration: “Many of my treasures haven’t been cultivated yet. If I were given a few more decades…

“The first place should have belonged to us Beast Controllers.”

Then, Yu Qianshan curiously asked Qiu Ziyuan: “Why did you, the head steward, also participate in the sect’s competition?”

“Aren’t you afraid of being besieged by Senior Brothers who you usually supervise?”

“I’m here to blend in and get a ranking. All first-generation disciples participate in the Sect’s Competition. How can I not participate?” Qiu Ziyuan said with a smile.

“Don’t worry about not fitting in. As a busy person like you, you don’t even have many friends,” said Yu Qianshan with a laugh.

Just then, an invisible Space Butterfly brought Lei Wenxi over to the two of them.

“Fortunately, Little Butterfly remembers the aura of the Giant Rock. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find you guys,” said Lei Wenxi.

“More than 50 people have already been eliminated out there in the fierce battle.’

“We only need to hold on a little bit longer, and we can advance.”

Lei Wenxi sat down next to the Giant Rock and said to Qiu Ziyuan, “Brother

Qiu, you’re not eliminated yet.”

“Why is it that the first words you all say to me are always the same?” Qiu Ziyuan said helplessly.

“Because you usually provoke people,” said Lei Wenxi, smirking. “Sigh, I’m just maintaining order in the Sect,” Qiu Ziyuan sighed.

“l understand.’

At that moment, the Space Butterfly flew over the three of them. Its wings flapped, sprinkling a stream of spiritual light to conceal them.

“Although my combat power is not strong, my skills are all about escaping.”

“I’ve already applied to the Great Master, and in the future, I’ll be able to advance freely without being restricted by challenging puppets,” said Qiu Ziyuan as they continued chatting in invisibility. Outside, there was chaos from the ongoing battles, but inside, it was peaceful, with only the sound of gossip.

Not far from where the three were hiding, Xu Lingtai met Xiong Li. With just one glance at each other, they understood each other’s intentions.

“We’ll meet at the Competition Stage. By then, I’ll learn the divine abilities of my junior fellow,” said Xiong Li. He was very interested in the First Chief Grand Disciple of the Great Elder.

It was said that this young disciple had received the Great Elder’s true teachings, and this was what Xiong Li envied the most.

Because of this, Xiong Li really wanted to see this young disciple who had grown up under the Great Elder’s tutelage. “I understand Senior Brother Xiong Li p s meaning.” “Then see you on the Competition Stage.”

After Xu LingTai finished speaking, the two separated.

In front of the live broadcast light curtain, the young girl commentator had prepared for an intense battle analysis, but the two simply exchanged a few words and parted ways, making the second generation disciples who were expecting a big battle all sigh in disappointment.

After separating from Xiong Li, Xu LingTai looked back at the direction Xiong Li left and thought to himself, “If it weren’t for my leg, I would have at least sparred with you.”

He took his father’s warning quite seriously because since he was a child, he had done everything his father told him to do. He couldn’t guarantee this time would be an exception.

Xu Fan observed Xu LingTai on the light curtain, then suddenly looked at Xu Gang.

“After the Sect’s competition is over, you will challenge the Junior Nascent Soul Puppet.”

“If you fail, you know the consequences.”

Xu Fan’s voice echoed in Xu Gangs heart causing his face to tense up and then look guiltily at Xu Fan who was on the main stage.

“l wonder if 1 can escape without getting caught by Master.” Xu Gang thought to himself.

As for defeating the challenge puppet, he didn’t even think about it. Until all his divine abilities were mastered, he wouldn’t have any chance of beating it.

As the poison circle of the Great Escape Killing world shrank, battles broke out all around.

The wonderful fights of various styles dazzled the viewers.

Xu Fan also discovered many talented fighters within these battles. Although their current combat power wasn’t very strong, they had huge potential for growth in the future. With proper training, there might even be a few prodigious talents emerging.

At this time, Ji Muhua, who was watching the live broadcast, became more serious because he found that the overall level of the first generation disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect could easily defeat the same level disciples of the Thousand Dao Sect.

Those disciples with outstanding combat power could now be promoted to prodigy level within the Thousand Dao Sect.

Watching the light curtain with Li Xingci, Su Rentian’s eyes revealed a strange glow.

“Star Ci, your sect’s methods for recruiting disciples are amazing.”

“Any of your first-generation disciples, placed in any other sect, would at least be at the level of Inner Sect disciples.” Su Rentian said with slight surprise.

“Didn’t I tell you before? The disciples of our Hidden Spirit Sect are all extraordinary.” Li Xingci laughed.

“Star Ci, I’ve decided. 1 want to become a guest Elder in your sect.”

“After the two realms merge and the Human Clan is victorious, I will leave the Elders Association and join your Hidden Spirit Sect.” Su Rentian said.

“You can discuss this with my Master.” Li Xingci said indifferently, showing neither expectation nor resistance.

“Okay. After the Sect competition, I will discuss this with your Master.” Su Rentian said happily.

At this moment, with the final contraction of the poison circle, the decisive battle began.

Xiong Li patiently hid underground, observing the surroundings and searching for the figure of the ten thousand soldiers.

As for Xu LingTai, he sat nonchalantly atop a giant rock, which just so happened to be hiding Lei Wenxi and others beneath it.

Now, only three people needed to be eliminated, and the entire competition would end.

Just as Xu LingTai observed the entire battlefield, a Flaming Cannon Shell suddenly blasted towards him.

“Interesting, so you’re going for a sneak attack.” Xu LingTai watched as the shell exploded on him.

The explosion then ended the competition.

Up until the competition ended, the ten thousand soldiers still didn’t understand why their single shot eliminated three people.

At this time, Yu Qianshan, Lei Wenxi, and Qiu Ziyuan emerged with dark expressions.

Yu Qianshan glanced at the ten thousand soldiers and snorted,

“Be careful next time, you puppeteer. I’ve got my eye on you.”

Ten thousand soldiers: “???”

“First round of the Sect Competition has ended. The Competition Stage matches will begin tomorrow on Satellite Island.” Pu Tao’s voice came from the sky.

Satellite Island was created by Xu Fan’s instructions for Pu Tao to use for the competition.

After the first round of the competition ended, Xu Fan went to Ning Dao’s mountaintop courtyard upon hearing that Ning Dao had woken up.

In the small courtyard, Ning Dao, lying on a lounge chair, struggled to lift his  hand and pointed to a chair beside him, signaling Xu Fan to sit down.

Half a month ago, Su Rentian brought the unconscious Ning Dao and his coveted stick.

“Brother Ning really risked his life for that Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword.” “Considering Brother Nings injuries, even with spiritual pills_elixir, it would take at least half a year to recover.”

“Actually, senior, you didn’t have to try so hard. You just needed to snatch the giant stick from the Mountain-pulling Giant Ape’s hands.” Xu Fan said. Ning Dao adjusted to a more comfortable position and continued to bask in the sun.

“l didn’t think about it too much. Killing the Mountain-pulling Giant Ape and grabbing the giant stick would serve two purposes.”

“As for the injuries, it’s just a matter of more time to rest.”

“The Elders Association will also send me healing Saint Level Elixir later.” “So, I don’t lose.” Ning Dao said.

“Brother Ning is clever.” Xu Fan realized that this guy actually suffered a work injury and was insured thereafter.

“There’s a hint of sarcasm in your words.” Ning Dao glanced at Xu Fan and said.

“Haha, I misspoke. Brother Ning is indeed brilliant.” Xu Fan said with a grin.

“When will my new Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword be refined? Can it be completed before I recover?” Ning Dao asked.

In your dreams, your order is scheduled five years later.

“If senior wants a top-grade Treasure Artifact Spiritual Sword, it can be obtained in three days.”

“As for the new Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword, you’ll have to wait for five years..”
