104 Chapter 103: The Third Battle! (2/2)
”Me too! The guy is an ex-member of the Subjugation squad, it would be a no-brainer to not place one's bet onto him!”
All the crowds were excited for this battle, even Duan Li and the rest of his party were looking forward to this battle.
The person called Ti Bao was bald with a generic face to him. Looking at his appearance, he seems to be more like a monk from some temple far away in the mountains, rather than a student of the academy.
”Begin!” Shen Lu shouted out.
”Benefactor, I was informed that you had practiced the dark arts which was closer to the power of the demons. I shall help you to cleanse yourself from this unholy power!” the bald monk Ti Bao spoke out.
'Purifying Mantra!'
He then proceeded to chant some form of a long mantra which causes his whole body to shine golden. Next, this glow flew over to Fei Longwei as it surrounds the latter.
This mystifying power of Ti Bao seemed as though it was intent in seeping through the body of the other party by penetrating the pores.
”Paltry tricks. Perish.” Fei Longwei spoke out coldly.
'Dark arts: Qi Infection!'
When he used this ability, the previous golden glow wriggled as though something was choking at it. Slowly, that golden glow turned dark, before becoming black entirely!
”Y-You! What have you done to my holy chant?!” the bald monk Ti Bao shout out, unable to believe that his holy powers just got engulfed by the power of the darkness!
”Wasting my time. Disappear!” Fei Longwei spoke out once more as he used another skill arts.
'Dark arts: Darkness Whirl!'
BOOM!
A dark and insidious aura erupted forth from him, as they swirl out like a raging typhoon and crashed against the body of Ti Bao.
”AAAARGHHHH!!”
Ti Bao screamed out with a tragic cry as he was thrown over across the platform and then crashed over at the barrier, after which, the sheer impact had caused the latter to be swiftly knocked downunconscious.
”...” everyone.
Another anti-climatic battle!
”That bloody bald monk got insta-killed! HAHA!”
”This battle just went way too fast! Ten breaths has not even passed yet!”
”Who cares! I already had the feeling that the bald monk called Ti Bao or whatever he is known as, were nothing to begin with! Now that the battle was swiftly over, perhaps the next one would be good!”
The crowd cheered as the majority of them won their bets and managed to make a quick money out of that battle.
Duan Li was sitting on his throne as he turned his head over to Shen Lu and Shen Murong by the side.
”Who was the one that had shortlisted him? I don't think he is that strong enough to make it into the shortlisted roll..” he asked curiously.
Since Ti Bao had that 3 Star rank Warrior token on his waist, that means he was shortlisted by them since they were in charge of shortlisting Warrior class applicants.
”Eh.. I guess that was me. When I looked through his applicant form, it was stated that he was close to being 4 Star rank Warrior and thought that he was quite decent.” Shen Murong spoke out as he cupped his chin.
This underperformance, could it be that the other party was just that strong that he couldn't even manage to hold out for a bit?
Shen Murong shook his head.
What a waste!
...
The next few battles swiftly commenced over after that as the crowds alternated between cheering, yawning and exclaiming in shock.
Out of the seven matches after the third battle, the notable ones were from matches number five and the last, tenth battle of the first round.
The fifth battle was coincidentally between two Alchemist which was funny to watch. Instead of battling with each other, they instead took out pills one after another to show off to their opponent.
In particular, was the Alchemist called Guo He. Duan Li was amused by this man because the other party had challenged the opponent to concoct pills. Whoever concocted more pills within a period of time would win the battle, and he won.
Not just that, Guo He's method of concocting, while slightly unorthodox, could produce a lot of pills within a short amount of time. Although Duan Li could probably produce far more pills than the other party, in a group battle, his battle prowess was what was needed the most instead of his concocting skills.
Thus, having another person with such a swift concocting skills to rely on in a group battle, would definitely be handy in a situation as such.
His overall capabilities however, does not pale in comparison with another Alchemist, called Teoh Cheng whom also won his battle against another Alchemist using in the same way and method. So Duan Li hoped that in the second round, these two would meet together and battle it out!
The tenth battle, which was the last match of the first round, could be said to be devastating. This was because coincidentally, the two of them were Seniors both in the Core formation realm, and their resulting duel was that, the platform was reduced to a rubble!
After all, the might of those in the Core formation realm was not something to be underestimated. But after battling for a long while, it was apparent that no one would win if they did not stake their lives into it. Thus, they both made an agreement with each other to resolve the battle with a rock-paper-scissor instead.
