Chapter 445: Opposing Each Other
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
Jiu She flashed a light grin at Xue Ying and Drunk Guest as he stood on the platform. Anyone could see that he was provoking those two.
“Brother Dong Bo, Drunk Guest had not provoked you earlier, yet this Jiu She proactively provoked both of you.” Mei Yu then added, “It seems like he is very domineering.”
Xue Ying nodded.
Wildness and arrogance did not mean much. Those with great talent and power were, to their very core, proud beings. Even if Xue Ying seemed very polite and humble on the surface, he was similarly proud.
Xue Ying did not care much about how domineering the other party was. He cared more about his combat power.
Truly powerful. Xue Ying mused, That single move of his has somehow appeared everywhere, leaving no place left untouched? Furthermore, his power is very formidable, to where he could easily destroy the entire region. That expert he faced, who had still ranked in the top thousand, did not even have the chance to escape with his life.
I wonder how it will be like if I were to fight with him. Xue Ying looked forward to it. Only, this arena battle will never arrange for us to fight.
The top ten within the Prefecture Selections would never match up against each other.
Because ultimately, the Calm Sea Prefecture would be selecting the strongest hundred!
“He is provocative, but it’s a pity that the arena battle will not see me fighting him,” Xue Ying remarked.
“It is indeed impossible in the arena battle, but in the final survival battle, there will still be a ranking within.” Seventh Mei Yu laughed. “You ranked first in the ranking battle, but don’t let yourself be surpassed by them…during the final survival battle.”
Xue Ying laughed.
No wonder Jiu She was provoking him. It seemed that he was banking on the final survival battle.
The battles that came thereafter became increasingly fierce the later it got, since the difference in combat power between the two parties became smaller.
None of them, however, had given Xue Ying a similarly powerful, threatening feeling like Jiu She and Drunk Guest had.
This included Seventh Mei Yu! Even though she did surprise Xue Ying, he felt no threat from her at all. Firstly, her battle ended too quickly in just two moves; with her opponent admitting defeat, Seventh Mei Yu had no need to reveal her true sword techniques. Seventh Mei Yu, after all, specialized in a prolonged battle, not one ended with an instantaneous, explosive killing strike.
“The top five hundred has been chosen.”
“The first battle of the second batch in the arena battle, Dong Bo against Wu Yong.”
The second batch began once again…
Just as both of them stepped onto the platform…
Wu Yong shouted out, “I admit defeat.”
Thereafter, when Drunk Guest and Jiu She went onto the platform, their opponents similarly admitted defeat!
Precisely because their prowess had stunned others during the first battle round, it caused all the other experts to determine the gap in combat power to be too vast and their hopes of victory to be nil. Admitting defeat was better than losing their lives in a battle where they would have no time to even act.

On the platform, the Calm Sea Prefecture Master, Monarch Mo Xue and the others were observing the battles below.
Despite ten or so honorary and inner disciples of powerful existences participating in the arena battle, the most dazzling experts were still the top three in the ranking battle: Dong Bo, Drunk Guest, and Jiu She! That person called Zang Xiao, for instance, had merely ranked twenty-seventh in the ranking battle. While such a rank was quite good, he still could not match the top three experts.
“That Jiu She seems to have not revealed all his strength during the ranking battle?” White Sand City Lord was quite startled.
“He has indeed not displayed this secret skill during the ranking battle.” King Rong Hai nodded.
“It’s merely the ranking battle. This Jiu She is extremely self-confident and thus did not display this killing move of his. Even with his half-hearted efforts, he could still rank third.” The yellow-robed Venomous Ying World Deity giggled. “Having discovered there are two others who ranked above him, he will naturally display his techniques to make a statement. From my perspective…that Jiu She should be the strongest. Drunk Guest is the personal disciple of a powerful existence, so his combat power is similarly very deep and unpredictable; he should be able to grasp a grade one Deity Heart at any time. Meanwhile, this Dong Bo seems quite weak.”
Marshal Qin calmly interjected from the side, “You have some hatred against that Dong Bo, so are you deliberately targeting him?”
“Targeting him?” Venomous Ying World Deity sneered. “Is he even qualified to hold my attention?”
“Venomous Ying, Dong Bo is ranked first.” The White Sand City Lord laughed. “Despite what you say, he is still first in regards to the ranking battle.”
“Then do you dare to bet? I wager that during the survival battle, that Dong Bo will absolutely not be first. He will most likely not be second either!” Venomous Ying World Deity sneered.
The White Sand City Lord shook his head. “Bet? Why must we bet? The rules for the ranking battle and the survival battle are not the same. Who can be sure of the final ranking? It would not be surprising if Dong Bo is not first.”
“You have no confidence?” Venomous Ying World Deity sneered.
“Then are you confident to declare that Drunk Guest will definitely be the first? Or that Jiu She will definitely be the first?” The White Sand City Lord retorted.
