C297 Toward the finals (1/2)
The first day of the tournament had passed so easily. By night time, 20 participants had been eliminated, leaving behind only 20.
Actually, these twenty people could already be considered above the Genius Stone, but now, everyone was fighting to be even stronger than the Genius Stone.
After all, Genius Stone represented honor. Whoever could rank at the top of the Genius Stone would have unlimited honor.
On the second day, Ye Xingchen also went to the scene, because the new round of drawing of lots had started again.
By the time everyone had reached the plaza, the main platform was already filled with people, and Grey-robed Elder was already standing on the Arms Drill Platform.
”Hello everyone, I believe everyone knows, after yesterday's competition, we have decided on the twenty spots for Genius Stone, and today we are also drawing lots. Two against two, fighting until the top three are decided.” Grey-robed Elder said loudly.
After that, the Grey-robed Elder did not waste any words, and directly started drawing lots. Ye Xingchen got number 10, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be the last match.
Not long later, Grey-robed Elder finished counting the lot.
”According to the rules, # 1 will fight # 20. The match starts now.” With that, the Grey-robed Elder walked up the stage.
”First round, Lin Hua against Xu Yin!”
”I admit defeat!”
Lin Hua's might was clear to all, Xu Yin immediately admitted defeat.
With regards to this, Lin Qian laughed: ”Next, big brother will be more relaxed, but other than Ning Fengxue and Ye Xingchen, basically no one is big brother's match. Rather than wasting time and getting defeated by these participants, it's better for them to save up their stamina and vitality, and deal with the Contestant that can be dealt with.”
Lin Hua did not really care if anyone admitted defeat. In any case, he only needed to swing his fist once to get on stage, and the amount of stamina that he used was extremely insignificant, but Second Brother Lin Qian's competition was not easy either. He reminded: ”According to my judgement, your opponent should be a profound practitioner, so you must be careful.
Although Lin Hua's words were not accurate to the point, they were undoubtedly close. It had to be said that in terms of perception, Lin Qian was not stronger than him. Lin Hua understood the twenty people very well, if not he would not say it like this.
Lin Qian did not doubt him and said: ”That means, the following matches will be very difficult? Big brother, don't worry, I won't be careless. ”
”There's some luck in the first stage of the knock-out tournament, as long as you're lucky enough, you'll be able to make it to the second stage without any problems.”
In the first stage of the knock-out tournament, all the contestants were fighting in a melee. Thus, some of the weaker martial artists were able to survive. But from the second stage onwards, the weaker martial artists would no longer have a chance.
”Eh, Gu Changtian met an opponent!”
Right at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the competition on the Arms Drill Platform. The two people on the stage were none other than Gu Changfeng of the Heavenly Profound Chamber of Commerce and Chu Zhongtian of the City Lord Palace.
Gu Changtian was ranked fourth in the previous tournament, while Chu Zhongtian was ranked third. This was a showdown between the strong and the weak.
No one expected that Chu Zhongtian and Gu Changtian would clash at this stage. Obviously, one of them would stop at the top 20.
The two were both outstanding youths in terms of their fist arts. Their techniques were hard to differentiate between profound and profound, and each had their own strengths.
Ye Xingchen, who was in the Ye Family area, shook his head. Gu Changtian's luck was a little bad, regardless of whether it was his cultivation or his fist techniques, Chu Zhongtian was stronger than him. Right now, they were unable to determine victory or defeat, because Chu Zhongtian did not use his full strength.
”Good, not bad, Gu Changtian. You have made great progress in this one year.” Chu Zhongtian laughed out loud, his fist techniques suddenly becoming powerful, suppressing Gu Changtian in an absolute disadvantage.
”Snow Dance Fist!”
Gu Changtian's face was expressionless as he clenched his fists tightly. His fists were powerful enough to defy the heavens, and in that moment, it was as though a heavy snowstorm had descended on the stage, as fist imprints filled the air.
”Break!”
Without any techniques, Chu Zhongtian formed a fist with one hand, his body leaping high into the air as he punched downwards.
BOOM!
Like snow, the fist imprints shattered one after another as Gu Changtian collided against the dark blue light barrier.
”Thank you!” Clasping his fists together, Chu Zhongtian kept his fists and stepped down the stage.
Beneath the Arms Drill Platform, many people were watching the competition attentively, and were discussing about it.
”Chu Zhongtian is indeed worthy of being a fist arts master of the young generation. He actually managed to comprehend a fist intent at the Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage realm.
Ye Xingchen possessed the Sword Intent, while Chu Zhongtian possessed the Fist Aura, each of them being different.
When Ye Xingchen was using his Small Three Levels of Grandmaster Stage, he had comprehended ten percent of the Sword Intent.
”Gu Changtian is not bad either, his fist techniques are not inferior to Chu Zhongtian, the only thing that is lacking is that his cultivation and fist intent are slightly lacking, as long as he has enough time, catching up to Chu Zhongtian would not be impossible.”
”Indeed, ordinary warriors are nothing in Chu Zhongtian's eyes. Gu Changtian obviously suits his taste, both of them use fists.”
”Oh right, is Chu Zhongtian able to make it into the current year's top five geniuses?”
”It might be a bit difficult, but even if they could be ranked, they would probably still be at the bottom.”
