Chapter 587: Dueling Round Begins (2/2)
I only did that out of goodwill so as to sustain the puppet for awould occur?
But actually, thinking deeper into it, Zhang Xuan also realized his error The puppet was sustained by a lingering will, and h the means of a soul oracle Otherwise, it shouldn't be possible for a lifeless puppet to be capable of Soul Impartation
And his Heaven's Path zhenqi happened to be the nemesis of soul oracles What should have been a simple collapse turned into an explosion instead with the interference of his zhenqi
Turning his gaze to the crowd, Zhang Xuan saw everyone staring at hi at a monster
”Did you see that? Even the Celestial Chess wasn't spared!”
”I told you that it would be destroyed right? And to think that you didn't believeshi+ explode the puppet even after it has adht But if he didn't do so, how could he maintain his reputation as the God of Destruction?”
Everyone whispered with hushed voices
They thought that perhaps Celestial Chess would be an exception, but in the end, just like the artifacts in the previous three tests, it was destroyed as well! It seeardless of how valuable an artifact, it only had one fate uponshi+ Utter destruction!
It doesn't matter how sturdy or resilient you are
””
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan spurted blood
I really didn't do it intentionally, I was really trying to save him
I didn't do any of these voluntarily, it was all just coincidence!
”He destroyed so and the others stared at one another At this point, there was only one thought in their mind-relief They couldn't help but feel relieved that they didn't use any valuable artifact in the selection round back then Otherwise, their Master Teacher Pavilion would probably be bankrupt by now
”My Celestial Chess”
Hong shi+'s lips tre it took for him to accrue sufficient wealth to obtain the Ghost Domain Illusory City and the Celestial Chess and yet, in a single tournale day, he was reduced to a poor bloke
He felt as though a knife was lodged deeply into his chest, leaving his heart bleeding profusely
Even so, he did see what happened to the puppet clearly
The puppet was cru shi+ was indeedto secure it It was just that his help only s worse, and an explosion was induced
But while he knew of this, there was no doubt that the reason behind the cru shi+
If only he'd known this would happen, he wouldn't have bothered with a prelione ahead with duels in an eli shi+ was able to calnation
All he could do noas ask for some compensation from Pavilion Master Mo, and hope that the latter would offer soe for the loss he had incurred He didn't kno else he could console hilanced at the crowd and asked, ”Given that the puppet has ad shi+ has fully comprehended the rules behind the Celestial Chess Does anyone have any objections against this ruling?”
”No!” Everyone shook their heads
While the fellow standing before the ruins of the Celestial Chess was indeed a God of Destruction, they had to ade person could hardly i shi+ has conifies the end of the prelier early, let's waste no ti shi+ announced
Since the four tests of the preliminary selection was over, it was ti round
”The rules for the dueling round are simple The duels will be in pairs, and the sequence andlots The duel need not be a fight, it can also be based on the various core aspects of a e i of cultivation, flaws identification, so on and so forth!
”The winner moves on to the next round whereas the loser is elio on until the top ten is out!”
Hong shi+ glanced at the participants and said, ”Is there anything you wish to clarify?”
”No!”
The participants hurriedly shook their heads
This was the usual for round in the Master Teacher Tournaht, we'll start with picking lots There are 27 people currently, and 16 people will move on to the next round In other words there will be five people illshi+ said
There is a fixed rule to dueling rounds stating that no matter how many participants there are initially, after the first round, it should be in a power of two,2, 4, 8, 16, 32 so on and so forth This was to ensure greater fairness in the subsequent rounds, especially as the fights becah this sequencing could it be guaranteed that only two people would be coht, let's begin picking lots!”
After introducing the rules, Hong shi+ waved his hand, and a master teacher walked up with a box prepared beforehand The re twenty-seven participants ca Xuan was the same as well
After a quick look, he shook his head
It seeed to draw the five empty slots that allowed for autoed to draw the e hisat hi a look at the other party's lot, he saw 'A1, empty' written on it
On the other hand, written on Zhang Xuan's lot was 'D2'
Seeing that everyone was done drawing the lots, Hong shi+ said, ”The dueling round will be divided into four main sectors, namely A, B, C, and D, and each sector will be further divided into 1, 2, 3, and 4 Those who draw the saainst one another, and those who have the word 'eht on to the top sixteen!
”Based on the ranking of the respective powers in the previous tourna will have the privilege to choose the content of the duel Of course, his opponent will have the right to object to the chosen dueling forht to object will be liht has been used once, he would have no choice but to accept the next proposed dueling format”
This was similar to the rules employed in previous rules, so there was no need to elaborate on it
”Alright, the first round will start now Since A1 is empty, e in the A sector!”
Hong shi+ waved his hand, and the final area of fog veiling the stage dissipated, revealing four stages They were labeled A, B, C, and D respectively
Two youngonto the lot which they had just picked walked toward the stage labeled A
