Chapter 1835: Enemies meet on a narrow road

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

There were five days between each round of the Region Compet.i.tion to give the compet.i.tors who have been promoted to the next round an opportunity to heal and recover from their injuries.

Other than going to the Duke’s Manor one night, Sima You Yue hadn’t been out the rest of the time. Hence, it made it impossible for those who wanted to cause trouble with her to do anything.

In the second round of compet.i.tion, there were one thousand one hundred and twenty five people. As there was an odd number of compet.i.tors, there would be an odd one out who would be able to advance directly.

When the host asked everyone to draw lots, Sima You Yue and Fang Ying Han went over with everyone else.

“There are so many lots, but only one of them will have the number zero written on it. If you draw the number zero, you won’t have to compete and you will advance directly.” The host said.

“Young Miss, do you think we will draw the number zero?” Zhang Ming Da asked..

“I think that the chances of Young Miss drawing it is bigger. You… don’t have the luck, so you don’t have to think about it!” Fang Ying Han said in a brotherly manner.

“Chey, I might draw it!” Zhang Ming Da lifted her chin, “No one knows for sure.”

“I just don’t think you will have the luck nor the character quality.” Fang Ying Han said.

“I can dream about it! Besides, even if our luck isn’t good, Young Miss’ luck has always been very good!” Zhang Ming Da said cheerfully.

“Anyone has the chance.” Sima You Yue didn’t think that she would draw the number zero, her luck…

They arrived at the place where the lots were being drawn and she reached into the opaque box to draw a number. She then walked away so that someone else could draw their number.

“Young Miss, Young Miss, what number did you draw?” Zhang Ming Da hadn’t looked at her own number and asked Sima You Yue first.

Sima You Yue smiled and shook her head. She showed them her number, which was exactly six hundred.

This number sounded much better than her last number which was two hundred and five.

Zhang Ming Da was a bit disappointed. If she didn’t even draw the number zero, then she wondered who would get this number.

“Maybe you got it!” Sima You Yue said with a smile.

“I’m not that lucky!” Zhang Ming Da said and opened her own number. Two hundred and fifty one, it sounded better than her last number. She waved the note in her hand, “See, I’ve already said I’m not that lucky!”

“It’s alright, we will rely on our strength to advance!” Sima You Yue patted him on the shoulder.

“Yeah!” Zhang Ming Da nodded. He looked at Fang Ying Han and asked: “What’s your number?”

Fang Ying Han had also been curious about Sima You Yue’s number and hadn’t looked at his own number. He only opened his paper when Zhang Ming Da asked him and he was stunned.

“What’s wrong with you? What number did you get?” Zhang Ming Da leaned over and looked. He was also stunned. After a while, he patted him on the shoulder and shouted: “d.a.m.n, what kind of character quality are you?”

“I don’t know.” Fang Ying Han said, “Am I dreaming?”

“d.a.m.n, you actually drew the number zero! Your character quality is explosive!” Although Zhang Ming Da was shouting, he was grinning from ear to ear.

When Sima You Yue heard that Fang Ying Han had drawn the number zero, she smiled, ” Not bad, we can be sure that at least one person in our province will advance to the next level!”

“I don’t know what kind of luck I’ve got either!” Fang Ying Han said happily.

“Not bad, not bad!” Zhang Ming Da said, “Oh, but I thought that I would be able to get it! How did the luck go to you?”

“You can go and prepare for battle with everyone else!”

“Well, I will work hard to advance too!”

“Will the compet.i.tor who has drawn the number zero please come over to report to the umpire!” The host shouted.

Fang Ying Han didn’t go over at once. Instead, he handed the piece of paper over to Sima You Yue and said: “Young Miss, it’s better if you go.”

Sima You Yue hadn’t expected him to do that. She returned the piece of paper to him and said: “I don’t need this, I have Onyx. Advancing is not a problem. Since you drew the number, then it is yours. Hurry and go over, the umpire will be getting anxious.”

“That’s right, Young Miss’ Onyx is more powerful than you and will surely advance easily! If you don’t want it then give it to me!” Zhang Ming Da stretched his hand out to take the piece of paper, but Fang Ying Han retracted his hand and rolled his eyes, then went over to the umpire.

“This guy, where is the brotherhood!” Zhang Ming Da groaned.

“Come on, let’s go back!” Sima You Yue shook her head and smiled.

When they returned to the rest area, the people from Vast City were excited to learn that Fang Ying Han had drawn the number zero.

“Good! Good! Vast City will definitely achieve better results than the last time!” Murong Hui said with a smile, “You all have to do your best!”

“We will!” Those few who had been promoted were confident.

The umpire registered Fang Ying Han and nodded to the host. The host then opened up the Realm of Emptiness and shouted: “The first one hundred into the Realm of Emptiness.”

Just like before, the first hundred compet.i.tors will enter the Realm of Emptiness once they have finished registration and gotten their talisman. You will then find your opponent and start the duel.

Sima You Yue was in the last batch, so she watched the compet.i.tion with Fang Ying Han and the others in the rest area. She realised that the fighting power of the Underworld Saints were not low, in addition to improving their strength, these people also hadn’t lost their combat effectiveness.

“Ming Da has gone in. His opponent is actually him!” Fang Ying Han was a little surprised, then he smiled, “That person almost crippled Zi Ping, now that he has run into Ming Da, he can have his revenge!”

“Was it him that severed Zi Ping’s vital pa.s.sages?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Well, quite a few people had severely injured us at that point, and because Zi Ping wanted to save Ming Da and scolded them for not daring to fight singly, that person severed Zi Ping’s vital pa.s.sages.” Fang Ying Han said.

“Then this arrangement is quite good indeed.” Sima You Yue said, “Ming Da was quite frustrated about this matter before. Now that he can avenge Zi Ping today, he will be able to resolve the frustration in his heart which will be good for his future cultivation.”

“Yes.” Fang Ying Han thought so too.

As his good friend, naturally he could see through Zhang Ming Da’s happy facade that he has put on. Although he laughed and joked, he knew that he still cared deeply about this matter in his heart.

He never expected that this arrangement would happen, G.o.d’s will!

In the Realm of Emptiness, when Zhang Ming Da saw his opponent, he was unable to suppress the anger in him: “I didn’t expect to meet you in the second round. G.o.d is looking out for me!”

“If I can cripple your friend, I can cripple you!” The man had obviously recognised Zhang Ming Da and he didn’t deny it. At this point in time, it didn’t matter even if he knew his ident.i.ty. As long as he could behead him here, who would know that they had done something to the people from Vast City before?

“That depends on who will be crippling who today!” Zhang Ming Da said as he called out his contract beast. At the same time, he condensed his spiritual energy and turned the seven balck swords he had conjured up in front of his chest and shot them out at the same time.

His opponent had also condensed his spiritual energy and conjured up seven spears which collided with the seven black swords and made a sonorous sound then they folded in half.

As soon as Sima You Yue saw the first round, she felt relief in her heart as she knew that Zhang Ming Da would win this round!
