Chapter 170 - Ranked Third, A Sudden Challenge! (1/2)

In the first round of battles that occurred, almost all the victors were at the level of a peak six-star God.

Finally, the last five contestants were chosen!

Seven-star High God Fang Tian, the peak six-star Goddess, peak six-star God Li Hai, peak six-star God Ji Yue, and five-star god Sullo!

Apart from Sullo, the remaining gods were all six-star gods, and one of them was even a High God!

Sullo's presence as a five-star God made him stand out amongst the crowd and become their target.

Once the first rounds of battle were over, the quarterfinals would begin!

All the gods would once again engage in battle!

This would determine the Gods who would be fighting in the semifinals, and there would be another empty lot to draw as well.

As such, everyone was called to draw lots before their fight.

Just before they were allowed to take their picks, one of the Gods who did not like Sullo began to express how much he would beat up Sullo if they were paired together.

After all, they were all six-star Gods or higher. It felt like pure luck that someone like Sullo had actually managed to continue on in the competition after so long because the differences in power between a five-star and six-star God was definitely a gap that could not be bridged overnight.

Thus, all the gods believed that the only reason Sullo had managed to reach this stage was due to his luck!

While the other Gods besides the Goddess were not fond of Sullo, they were forced to bite their tongue and endure this discontent.

Now, the second lot draws had officially begun and the Gods all took turns in drawing their opponents.

To everyone's surprise, it seems like Sullo had drawn a blank lot yet again!

It seemed like Sullo was destined to enter the semifinals!

After seeing the draw results, all the gods were inexplicably angry.

All the gods were furious as they slandered Sullo's luck, believing that some external force was involved.

Hearing their complaints, the sovereign expert overseeing their battles unleashing a terrifying burst of power, instantly suppressing them!

”What a joke! How can you say unscrupulous things are happening behind the scenes in a competition that I myself am hosting? Are you saying that I'm picking favorites amongst all of you?”

Under the sovereign expert's might, the competitors did not dare to complain any longer. After all, a sovereign expert could easily end them with just a single strike!

However, the sovereign expert decided to speak further so that they would not be discontent.

”Since you aren't satisfied, I swear in the name of God King Mu that I am not personally siding with any of the Gods here! If I violate this oath then God King Mu himself will personally execute me!”

Hearing the sovereign expert make such a promise, all the Gods present immediately shut their mouths. After all, an oath sworn under the God King's name was one that could not be broken without severe consequences!

Even their powerful sovereign expert host would not dare to do anything to anger the God King!

Thus, the competition continued and the Gods began to prepare themselves for the next fight.

The sovereign expert had a cold expression on his face as he divided the battles accordingly.

The second round of battles had officially begun!

The matches were essentially the peak six-star Goddess versus Ji Yue, and seven-star High God Fang Tian versus Li Hai!

There was hardly any suspense during the second round of battles.

After all, Fang Tian was still an unscalable mountain to the rest of them.
