Chapter 247: The First Battle

Translator:Editor:

Soon, the eliminating competitions had officially begun.

Over at group No. 3, two Clasping Yuan Realm warriors had gone onto the first stage. One was a blade artist while the other trained with his fists. The level of their blade and fist arts wasn’t low at all. The after waves of their attacks hit the dark blue light wall, making a huge exploding sound, as sparks spilled everywhere.

After exchanging hundreds of attacks, the contestant who had trained fist arts eventually got the upper hand. While he avoided the blade light, he threw a fist attack and shattered his opponent’s protective zhen Qi layer, which made him the winner of the round.

“Second round, Yuanheng Ying verses Huang Lang.”

On the first row of the audience seats, the judge of the group three yelled.

Hearing him, Yuanheng Ying sneered and flew over to the battling platform. That powerful dark blue light wall seemed to be made of water, wavy patterns spreading out over and over again. But it did not block him out.

“I am looking forward to learning!” Huang Lang had a common appearance. He held both of his fists tight in front of his chest and said politely.

Yuanheng Ying said without patience, “Cut the crap! Take a claw attack of mine!”

As he talked, Yuanheng Ying pushed his zhen Qi as his right hand made a grabbing gesture. Dark blue zhen Qi shot out into the sky before turning into a huge eagle claw. Once this claw appeared, it brought an ancient raw evil atmosphere, making it feel almost like a demon’s claw.

“Turning an ace martial art to a normal routine movement, it looks like Yuanheng Ying has made some breakthroughs as well.” Ye Chen’s eyebrow flicked. He remembered when they were all in the Heaven Dream Battling Palace fighting for great treasures, and Yuanheng Ying and Zhuang Fei had decided to fight him together, he had used that movement. Back then, it was considered one of his best and most powerful movements, but now, he could use it as the first attack. Obviously, it was not because Yuanheng Ying thought of his opponent as a powerful warrior, it would be mostly because he had got so many more powerful attacks.

But Huang Lang was a contestant who had made through the three challenges of the dragon door too. Facing Yuanheng Ying’s attack, although he looked extra serious, he was still able to block out the attack. However, Yuanheng Ying did not plan to let him catch a breath. He threw out claw attacks one after another, each one of it attacking the weak part of his protective zhen qi layer.

Boom!

If one only defended for a long time, one would be doomed to fail. Huang Lang had only lasted a couple of minutes under the intense attacks from Yuanheng Ying before his defensive layer had been shattered.

The judge of group three nodded secretly. Yuanheng Ying had already made it in the rank last time, so he would most likely make it again. Clearing his throat, he announced the contestants for the third round.

Ye Chen’s number was quite behind, and the first round of the battles was arranged in numeric order. So, it would take a while before his turn came. Seeing there were no intense fights in the group three stage, he lifted his head to look over at the other battling platforms.

“Eh! It is Lin Qi!”

Over at the group seven’s battling platform, Lin Qi was standing face to face against another Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior.

Judging only based on cultivation, Lin Qi was only at peak-level Early Clasping Yuan Realm, which was not as powerful as his opponent. However, judging from the fighting power, that contestant would be nowhere near him. First, his weapon was knocked out by Lin Qi, and then his protective layer had been shattered. He lost completely in no time.

“How impressive. Right now, he is the first contestant who was able to beat an opponent with higher cultivation.” The judge of the group seven seemed impressed.

After glancing at Lin Qi, Ye Chen turned away.

Coincidently, he saw another person he knew.

It was the second disciple of the Alchemist Martial School, Tian Hao, who was having bad luck. He had encountered someone quite powerful. After lasting thirty attacks, he had also lost completely.

Then, Ye Chen had watched another couple battles. All of the contestants were mostly either peak Early level or Mid Clasping Yuan Realm. The one who had reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm were less than forty people. As for the peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm, there were less than ten of them.
