Chapter 1181 - As if Awakening from a Startling Dream
A total of eight battles were going to be held tomorrow. Four battles of the second round of Conferred Gods Group, and four battles of the third round of Losers Group.
Although they were already mentally prepared, everyone from the Flame God Realm felt their hearts sink down upon seeing the name of Huo Poyun’s opponent in the match-up list.
The successor of the Sword Sovereign, one of the Eastern Region’s Four God Children, Jun Xilei!!
Huo Poyun didn’t change the expression on his face, but his hands slowly clenched into fists.
Yan Juehai and Huo Rulie glanced at each other. They were very clear about the strength of the “Sword Sovereign’s Successor” who was also “one of the Eastern Region’s Four God Children.” They had come into close contact with the master-disciple pair in the Snow Song Realm before arriving at the Eternal Heaven Realm. Jun Xilei was still of a young age, but the aura of the way of sword accumulated within her body made even two great Divine Sovereigns such as them feel inwardly apprehensive.
It was absolutely not possible for Huo Poyun to be her opponent.
The atmosphere remained tense for a short while, after which Huo Rulie relaxed his brows. He heavily patted Huo Poyun’s shoulder as he said smilingly, “Yun’er, you just have to give it your best in the battle tomorrow. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. You have already surpassed my expectations by a hundred, no, a thousand times by being able to come this far, and have also won unprecedented glory for our Flame God Realm. Therefore, you don’t need to feel pressure any longer.”
Huo Poyun slowly nodded his head, but didn’t say anything.
Yun Che glanced sideways at Huo Poyun. He knew very well that the true pressure for Huo Poyun didn’t originate from the expectations of the Flame God Realm, but from his own.
In the second round of the Conferred Gods Group, the first battle between the God Children of the Eastern Region was finally going to take place—Luo Changsheng VS Lu Lengchuan.
The battles between the Four God Children of the Eastern Region was undoubtedly going to be the greatest showdowns between the Eastern Divine Region’s younger generation.
[Note: Should be the “second” round as mentioned above, not the “third” round. It seems to be a mistake made by the author.]
Yun Che was at once taken aback when he saw the match-up list of the second round of the Conferred Gods Group.
Shui… Mei…yin!?
She’s actually… still not eliminated? Moreover, she is in the Conferred Gods Group!?
What’s going on?
It was easy to imagine the great strength possessed by those who were still left in the Conferred Gods Group. Luo Changsheng, Jun Xilei, Shui Yingyue, and Lu Lengchuan together monopolized half of those places, and Meng Duanxi as well as Chao Feng were both at the ninth level of the Divine Spirit Realm. They all were absolute experts who had firmly occupied a place in the top ten lists in the preliminaries.
Comparatively speaking, Huo Poyun’s profound strength at the seventh level of the Divine Spirit Realm was definitely near the bottom level among the thirty-two Conferred God Candidates. So he could be called an exception for still being in the Conferred Gods Group. In the opinion of the majority, luck was the biggest reason for such a thing to happen. After all, both of his opponents so far hadn’t lost because of him showing his amazing strength, or anything of the sort. One of them, Lu Chenyuan, was caught unprepared due to his arrogant and conceited attitude, and didn’t even get the chance to display his true strength. The other was Luo Changan, whose profound strength was at the bottom level compared to the other contestants, and had entered the Conferred Gods Group without having to fight a battle. It was nothing amazing to defeat such an opponent.
But why was Shui Meiyin… still in the Conferred Gods Group?
On the first day of the competition, he had immediately left after conceding, and he wasn’t even present at the battle site the day before. Therefore, he knew nothing about the other fights of the Conferred God Battle. He didn’t see Shui Meiyin’s name in the match-up list of the second round of the Losers Group this day, and naturally thought that she had been eliminated… After all, although she managed to enter the group of Thirty-two Conferred God Candidates with tricks, her profound strength was only at the first level of the Divine Spirit Realm. So, it was only natural for her to be immediately eliminated in the Conferred God Battle.
He was completely unable to understand what he was seeing at this moment. Not only was she not eliminated, her name was actually in the match-up list of the second round of the Conferred Gods Group tomorrow.
“Palace Master Bingyun, how did Shui Meiyin… win in her previous battle?” Yun Che asked Mu Bingyun as he looked to her.
Among the eight people of the Conferred Gods Group, four were at the tenth level of the Divine Spirit Realm, and two were at the ninth level of the Divine Spirit Realm. Huo Poyun was already considered an exception, so for someone like Shui Meiyin to be there with her profound strength of the first level of Divine Spirit Realm was simply…
Was there something really fishy going on?
Mu Bingyun replied, “Shui Meiyin indeed relied on her strength to remain in the Conferred Gods Group. Although her profound strength is only in the early stages of the Divine Spirit Realm, her strength cannot be measured according to normal conventions… the same as in your case.”
“…” Yun Che’s strength was far beyond the level of his profound strength, which was mainly because he possessed the unique inheritance of a Creation God; he had the heaven-defying Evil God’s Profound Veins. But what was Shui Meiyin relying on that made her so strong?
“As for how she fought her opponent… You will be able to see it for yourself in the battle tomorrow.”
Yun Che was startled once again. Mu Bingyun clearly sounded as if she was implying that Shui Meiyin might win in the battle tomorrow, too.
She would win against Meng Duanxi, who was at the ninth level of the Divine Spirit Realm?
“You had better pay attention to your opponent tomorrow,” Mu Bingyun said in a serious tone.
In the match-up list of the third round of Losers Group, Yun Che found his name at a glance.
Battle 1: Divine Martial Realm 【Wu Guike]（Eighth level of the Divine Spirit Realm）VS Snow Song Realm【Yun Che]（Eighth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm）
Wu Guike!?
Just as Yun Che raised his head, his gaze met with a malevolent one. Wu Guike was sitting at the side of Wu Sanzun, the Divine Martial Realm King. There was surprise in his eyes, but they contained even more ruthlessness. He almost lost all his standing and reputation because of helping Yun Che to “cheat,” after all.
Other than surprise and ruthlessness, there was some fear within them too… Yun Che had two great blackmailing items with him!
Yun Che shifted his gaze away, and said in a low tone, “We’re truly fated, huh.”
Mu Bingyun found no trace of seriousness on Yun Che’s face. She asked in a low tone of voice, “How confident are you in obtaining victory against an opponent of Wu Guike’s level?”
“One hundred percent,” Yun Che immediately replied without the slightest hesitation.
Mu Bingyun revealed surprise in her eyes, before she said in warning, “Be sure to not underestimate Wu Guike. The profound art of the Divine Martial Realm is extremely hard, fierce, and domineering, which makes it difficult to execute. However, not only is Wu Guike proficient enough to easily execute it at such a young age, he has also cultivated it to a very high realm. His battle power will greatly surpass an opponent of the same level.
“The reason he has fallen into the Losers Group is due to him getting beaten by none other than Luo Changsheng.”
Following the end of the Conferred God Battle for this day, sixteen people were eliminated. Only sixteen were left out of the thirty-two Conferred God Candidates.
