Chapter 440 - Final 12

Next battle of Zhou Mingyue's. Her opponent was the strongest disciple of the Cloud Rain Sect whose strength per with Yang Jian.

Zhou Mingyue was a metal attribute cultivator, her strength was not weak. But facing Hu Daiyu, she fell into a passive situation.

The sword in Zhou Mingyue's hand instantly transformed into a golden sword imaged that covered the sky, and they were like dense shooting stars that flew straight for Hu Daiyu.

When faced with Zhou Mingyue's golden sword images that covered the sky and descended like heaven encompassing net, Hu Daiyu rose her hand unhurriedly as a crimson red whip appeared out of thin air within her hand.

The spirit whip in Hu Daiyu's hand shook abruptly before flashing out like a venomous serpent, and the energy contained within was strong.

It wasn't just slightly superior to Zhou Mingyue.

Whoosh!

Hu Daiyu's figure flashed out like a ball of flames that swept out, and everywhere she passed, she gave rise to a wave of explosions from the air exploding, and it caused the waves of airflow in the sky to sweep out towards the surroundings of the Battle Arena.

For a time, a fierce gale sprung up within the Battle Arena.

Swish!

Subsequently, the spirit whip in Hu Daiyu's hand flew out from her hand to transform into a crimson red colored bolt of lightning that coiled and flashed around her.

Because of its speed being too swift, it seemed as if a layer of crimson red-colored light barrier had formed in Hu Daiyu's surroundings, and it was like a large fireball that protected Daiyu within it.

Right at this instant, the golden sword lights that covered the skies arrived like shadows descending from the sky.

Om! Om! Om! Om! Om!

…

The golden sword lights were like rainwater as they descended and crashed onto the crimson red light barrier around Daiyu before emitting a wave of heaving sounds, yet they were unable to break open the light barrier in the end.

"The martial skill Daiyu is executing now should be a Mid-Grade Heaven Rank martial skill?" Feng Yun was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue's attack wasn't even capable of breaking open the light barrier on the surface of Hu Daiyu's body, let alone harming her.

In next to no time, the golden sword imaged that approached in full fury as they covered the sky had gradually dispersed.

Swish!

At the instant, the crimson red-colored light barrier that surrounded Hu Daiyu vanished, the whip returned to her hand, and with a raise of her hand, she easily blasted apart the remaining golden sword images.

"I admit defeat!" When Hu Daiyu intended to attack once more, Zhou Mingyue recovered from her shock and spoke of her admission of defeat in a somewhat dejected manner.

"She's worthy of being the best disciple of cloud rain sect." Feng Yun sighed in his heart.

The people in the spectator's area were dumbstruck by Hu Daiyu's strength had recovered from their shock. The entire stadium burst into cheers.

"Zhou, don't be sad. You did great out there. You just encountered the wrong opponent. She was using a Half Step Divine Ranked weapon after all." Feng Yun comforted Zhou Mingyue warmly when she came back.

"Mm!" Zhou Mingyue nodded softly. "She is really strong!"

"How about I defeat her for you?" Feng Yun softly said. Zhou Mingyue was surprised a little bit then nodded.

After that Long Yue's battle against Lin Meifen. Two dragon phantoms golden and blue appeared in the battle arena. Lin Clan and Long Clan both have the martial skills of the Ancient Zhou Empire. The dragon phantom was used to be a symbol of the Zhou Empire in ancient times.

With the passage of time, their technique spread over many regions. Later generations developed new techniques by comprehending these ancient techniques.

Long Yue's ice dragon and Lin Meifen's golden dragon fought bravely in the battle arena. Both girls have similar cultivation, almost have similar combat experience, but Long Yue's weapon was better than Lin Meifen's. Long Yue won by a small margin.

After that Lin Mengyao's match and he won. Next, it was Xiang Yi's match his opponent was dark horse Bu Fan. But in front of the destructive thunder Bu Fan finally admit defeat after battling for hours.

Next Meng Jinhai from the Azure Frost Sect is another thunder attribute cultivator. Her opponent was Gu Liqiu. Meng Jinhai's strength was even stronger than Xiang Yi's, Gu Liqiu admit defeat just after ten minutes.

After that it was Deng Liqin's match, then Xiang Gen from the True Fire Palace, he has the advantage of spiritual fire that helped him to win the match. Gu Shoushan was the young generation leader of the Gu Family as well as the elder brother of Gu Liqiu.

Lastly, it was Yao Shi's turn. His match was also very intense. Although Yao Shi won the match, he was heavily injured in the process. It was very difficult for him to fight in the next round, Yao Shi decided to withdraw from the competition, didn't plan to fight more.

"Brother Yao Shi, are you alright?" Feng Yun asked Yao Shi who just came down from the battle arena.

"I'm fine, Brother Feng Yun." Yao Shi replied with a smile. "I am satisfied with my performance. I was going to drop the competition anyway, even if I didn't injured in this battle."

"Hm! Give up, why?" Feng Yun curiously asked.

Yao Shi smiled a little and replied, "Brother Feng, my cultivation path is unique. I don't think I need empire's resources to grow up."

Feng Yun pondered over his words and nodded. Yao Shi's cultivation method was really unique, he has witnessed his methods of prediction in the ancient battlefield. Feng Yun was confident that Yao Shi could survive of his own.

"With this, the third round of the competition is ending here. Rest for one hour, fourth round will begin then." Long Shan spoke out again. This time, participants got a longer time to rest.

"Sect Master Shen, your disciples are not bad." The middle woman from the empire said to Shen Jiaohao.

"Thank you, senior! Their progress surprise me too a little bit." Shen Jiaohao smiled and said. One could see the hidden excitement on his face. It could be said that Mystic Heaven Peak's performance was much better than others.

"Hmm! Other disciples are also not bad, few have great potential." The man from the empire also speaks out.

Even though the ranking mattered in this competition, their performance matters more. The most precious reward was being chosen by the two envoys to go to the empire for further cultivation. As long as you are found talented enough by the empire, it would invest its resources in you.

"This young man of the light attribute, which clan he belonged?" The middle-aged man asked.

"This one." Long Shan was clueless about Yao Shi's background than he looked at the leaders of various forces but none of them knew Yao Shi.

"He never mentioned his clan or sect's name in the entire competition, so we don't have any information of his background." Long Shan replied." Senior, why do ask?"

"It's nothing much, just for curiosity. A light attribute cultivators are very rare even in the Black Turtle Empire." The man replied. Then said again, "Your son is not bad too, he has potential."

"Thank you senior for your praise." Long Shan said with humbly, but there was a proud expression on his face, proud for his son.

"By the way, let me give good news. Her Majesty(Emperor of the Black Turtle Empire) sent a big reward for the winner of the tournament." The man said with a smile.

"Reward from majesty. What is it?"

"It's a Sovereign Attaining Pill!"

"What?"

"Is it for real?"
