Chapter 259: Instant Victory! . . .
In the second round, Ye Yuan's opponent was Number. 49.
Due to Ye Yuan winning the first round, he automatically entered the victor's group.
The martial artists in the victor's group established the position of core disciples.
While the disciples who were defeated in the first round must undergo the duel in the loser's group. The loser group likewise had to continue competing nonstop, all the way until five failures were produced in the final round. They would undergo a match with the top five outer-sect disciples!
The victors continue to retain core disciple status while the losers would automatically be eliminated and become an outer-sect disciple.
The victor's group had to continue competing similarly, all the way until the top three were born.
The top three disciples would carry out a duel with the last three among the elite disciples. The victor would advance to elite disciple, and the loser became core disciple. nove)Lb/In
Such a cruel ranking system, no matter how talented you were, you would also not dare to slack off at all.
Just ease up slightly, and you would be surpassed by others.
Even a loafer type core disciple like Ceng Yu would also spend large amounts of time to cultivate. Or else there would come a day where they would be eliminated.
If Ye Yuan won this round again, he would enter the top 50!
Do not look at how there were 200 core disciples. All of those who could win two consecutive rounds and enter the top 50 were all formidable people.
People who try to fish in muddied waters would basically be eliminated in the second round even if they were lucky enough to past the first round.
Ye Yuan's opponent was called Wang Dong, an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.
The Pill Barracks' Yang Hao was similarly at the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. But his strength was not even worth mentioning when compared to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong's strength was in the upper tier in the Earth Barracks. Other than those Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm experts, Wang Dong was basically considered the strongest.
In the last grand competition, Wang Dong had a crushing defeat in the second round.
Now that his strength had another substantial improvement, the goal he set for himself this grand competition was to enter the third round!
When he saw the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan opposite, he could not help feeling greatly relieved.
This was truly a gift from heaven!
"Eh? You're Number. 52?" Wang Dong suddenly recalled. Wasn't his opponent the Number. 52 who was the first to win in the first round?
Ye Yuan knew what he was thinking about and could not help chuckling and saying, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I be standing here?"
Ye Yuan gave a light cry. Nine streaks of swordlight flew out disorderly and headed straight for Wang Dong.
Wang Dong still had the bearing of an expert in the beginning, but when he saw the nine sword beams blotting out the skies and earth as they flew over, he immediately cried bitterly.
If he took the initiative, he could still tussle with Ye Yuan for a while.
But how could Wang Dong ward off Ye Yuan's big killing move from a defensive position?
One had to know when Ye Yuan was still at the Essence Qi Realm back then, he once used this move to force Yuan Fei back!
Now that Ye Yuan was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, how could the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Wang Dong defend against the might of this stance?
Wang Dong dodged three sword beams and used his weapon to block two sword beams before finally being hit by the sixth sword beam.
Then, the seventh, eighth, and ninth sword beam opened up wounds on his body like easily breaking a dead branch from a tree. The enormous impact directly sent him flying out of the platform.
If not for Ye Yuan showing mercy, he would already be a corpse now.
In a twinkle, from the time Ye Yuan struck to Wang Dong flying out, not even a breath of time had passed.
Crushing with one blow! Instant victory!
"Platform Number. 49, Number. 52 wins!" Elder Feng's voice was the first to sound out again.
"No way? Who is this Number. 52? Why is he the first to win again?"
"If the first round was luck, then how do you explain the second round? Just where did this unknown Number. 52 pop out from?"
"Too peculiar! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er haven't won yet, and this Number. 52 won already?"
Ye Yuan's victory caused another uproar.
Tian Yu's expression fell slightly, and the sword in his hands accelerated.
After three moves, Tian Yu sent his opponent flying.
Victory!
Tian Yu's foe in the second round was a Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. His strength was quite good. He forcibly hung on until the tenth blow before being defeated.
Compared to Ye Yuan's victory in one move, he was naturally much slower.
On Platform Number. 2, a graceful silhouette danced along with the wind.
But when she heard Elder Feng's voice, her movements clearly lagged for an instant.
Immediately after, only to see that lithe figure speed up multiple times!
Similarly, after three moves, Tang Yu-er won!
