Chapter 1305 - You can do that? (1/2)
The one feeling most rueful was the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden.
When their cultivation levels had been the same, she could easily bully Ling Han as she liked, and eventually forced Ling Han to have no choice but to step onto the path to seek out ancient sites in order to improve his abilities.
But now, not only had Ling Han become a prodigy on the level of king tier, but was even a king among kings!
With such a husband, what more could she ask for?
She smiled dazzlingly, and thought that she did not have to be so compet.i.tive in the future anymore. With such a strong shoulder for her lean on, it was really comforting.
“I forfeit!” Tuoba Dong was not a person who could not go with the flow. As a king tier, he was more able to clearly see the gap between himself and his opponent, and only with the ability to see the gap between them would he be able to continuously improve. Otherwise, even if he was a king tier, he would slowly decline to become only a top-grade prodigy, and then become an ordinary prodigy, or even become mediocre.
Ling Han couldn’t help but smile, and said, “Yi, I seem to have used more than 10 moves.” He did not just deliver 10 punches.
Tuoba Dong smiled bitterly. Though Ling Han had not delivered just 10 strikes, every punch was done carelessly. He had not used his full power at all. He, on the other hand, had used his full battle prowess, and had only a few powerful moves that he did not use.
That was because he knew that even if he used them, it would be useless. On the contrary, it would only cause his battle prowess to drop drastically.
In any case, he had only lost this once, and still had two chances to issue a challenge. There was no need for him to fight Ling Han to the death here.
He leaped off the platform, and went to rest for a while. Like Yue Ying, he was intending to target a “pushover”.
Ling Han sat down in a cross-legged position, and waited for others to challenge him, though this was practically impossible.
The people below the platform had also begun a new round of challenges after a long rest. This time, it was even more exaggerated. Over 100 prodigies collectively gathered on a single platform, and had all cramped onto this one platform such that it was practically impenetrable.
The ones being targeted were the Cloud Maiden and Ao Ziyun.
Those that could come here were three-star geniuses at least. With so many challengers, this was really very frightening… but to no avail. The Cloud Maiden and Ao Ziyun had both cultivated the pinnacle level to perfection, and possessed the advantage of at least four stars of battle prowess. This was not something that could be compensated by over 100 people.
Ordinarily speaking, 10 people could compensate for the gap of a single star of battle prowess, but then how many people would be needed to compensate for four stars? 10 to fourth power, meaning 10,000 people! Furthermore, it was necessary for the attacks of these 10,000 people to land at the same time, and this would require a formation. Seamless cooperation was needed as well, which would make it even more difficult.
Wave after wave of attacks all ended in failure. King tiers were king tiers, after all. The gap was not something that could be filled with mere numbers.
After Tuoba Dong and Yue Ying had rested for a long enough time, they began to issue a challenge. One chose Yue Ying, while the other chose Dan Ge.
These were again two intense and exciting battles. The battle continued for a whole half day’s time before the victor was finally decided. Yue Ying won, while Tuoba Dong lost to Yang Lin.
This time, among the nine great king tiers, the Immortal Realm had occupied a total of seven places.
Taking advantage of the fact that both Yue Ying and Yang Lin were weary from a long period of battle, others grouped together to fight them again. However, a wounded tiger was still a tiger. It was definitely not something that could be defeated by a few dogs working together.
The battles continued. Aside from Ling Han, Chi Huangji, and the other kings among kings, the other five battle platforms were all very intense. To obtain a placement for themselves, they all used their ultimate moves, broadening horizons of their spectators.
Two days’ time pa.s.sed very fast. Dan Ge became the first king tier to be completely disqualified, and after another few hours, Yue Ying became the second. This time, the dust had settled, and there was indeed no doubt the candidates for the Nine Kings were confirmed.
It was impossible anyone would be able to shake the positions of these nine people.
Even a Heavenly Body Tier like Zuo Quan could only bow his head here. Being weakened to the level of the Mountain River Tier, he was completely no match for the king tiers of the young generation.
…Was that really the case?
Ling Han smiled faintly. He was still waiting, and when there was about an hour left, he nodded at the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden.
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden understood his signal, and ascended onto the platform with a leap.
‘What in the world is going on?’
Everyone was shocked. There was actually someone who dared to issue a challenge at this time? Furthermore, the one being challenged was actually Ling Han—he was a king among kings!
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden made a move, and a pair of phoenix’s wings spread open. Fiery flames blazed.
“Ah!” Ling Han screamed out, instantly falling off the platform.
