Chapter 862: Contestant List of the Qin Clan

After having conquered the Thousand Feather Sect, and with the Hundred Lane House, the small circle formed with the Qin Clan as the center was completed.

Of course the Qin Clan was the core. The Floating Snow House, Misty Sword Sect, Thousand Feather Sect, and Hundred Lane House will be surrounding the clan in every direction!

These subordinate powerhouses would be the most loyal supporters for the future Heavenly Emperor!

After pa.s.sing the Seventh Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, Qin Wushuang was well aware that in the next period, the Eighth Calamity would definitely not come.

Therefore, for now he did not need to be in solitary training. It was time to make the final preparations for battle.

He equipped himself from head to toe and still exercised the nine Golem Puppets the most. These nine Golem Puppet also mastered the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation; however, Qin Wushuang wished to take one more step.

Currently, he equipped these nine Golem Puppets with Supreme Dao weapons at the Peak of the Transformation Supreme Dao level. With battles coming, he wanted to upgrade them and equip them with Genuine Supreme Dao weapons.

For your information, for the eighty-one weapons in his weapon storage, half were at the Genuine Supreme Dao level and half were at the Transformation Supreme Dao level.

He did not use the Genuine Supreme Dao weapons previously because the nine Golem Puppets had yet to reach their level of mastery. Currently, since the puppets mastered the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation, it would not be a problem to upgrade their weapons to the Third Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao level.

Clearly, it would be unreasonable to not use those outstanding items and keep them a secret. Therefore, Qin Wushuang decided to disregard the gaze from the secular world. He would equip them all with the Third Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao weapons atrociously.

He knew that once he unleashed his extravagant items, it would horrify people.

Among the sects at the level of the Qin Clan, Yun Clan, and Xin Clan, at most they would only have one or two Genuine Supreme Dao weapons. Yet Qin Wushuang even equipped the puppets with Third Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao weapons. It would be strange if people were not in awe of this.

Most likely, even the totem clan would be eyeing them covetously for such grand items!

Currently, as Qin Wushuang had a boost of confidence, naturally he did not just set his eyes to the mere Heavenly Emperor Mountain. The Heavenly Emperor Mountain would only be the first step for his rise.

A month before the pageant, the compet.i.tion rules were announced.

There was only one topic a.s.sociated with the challenging compet.i.tion, compete in martial arts. In the world of martial arts, only competing with martial arts stayed eternally true.

Three rounds decide the victor!

The Hundred Sword Sect against the Thousand Feather Sect, the Vase Mound House against the Hundred Lane House, the Great Second Gate against the Mysterious Reform Gate, and the Floating Snow House against the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa. For these four, two pairs were opponents. As long as they fought three rounds, they would determine a winner.

On the contrary, the Sound of Thunder Sect had two challengers. With a total of three powerhouses competing for it, naturally they would spend some effort.

However, clearly the Xuan Yuan Clan already had made all preparations.

Besides the Sound of Thunder Sect, Misty Sword Sect, and Flowing Sound Valley competing for the spot, the Xuan Yuan Clan would send three elite warriors of the same level to be their imaginary enemy. There would be a total of four spots.

Two parties will take the draw and clutch the spot for battle. Two will win against four, and one will win from two. The final winner got one spot. The result would be the same for there would just be one extra round.

For example, the Sound of Thunder Sect would fight the Misty Sword Sect and the Flowing Sound Valley drew the imaginary enemies sent by the Xuan Yuan Clan.

If the Flowing Sound Valley won against the Xuan Yuan Clan, the Flowing Sound Valley would fight with the winner from those two parties. The winner would get one spot.

On the contrary, if the Flowing Sound Valley lost, the winner of the other two parties would not need to fight the three people sent out by the Xuan Yuan Clan. They can directly acquire that spot.

This arrangement appeared more reasonable. If such a situation appeared, during the contest only one would be the winner and the two others would be the losers. It’s righteous and proper for the winner to win directly. There was no need for them to fight the elite warriors sent by the Xuan Yuan Clan.

Such arrangement also occurred in the past as everyone was familiar with it. It was because in the contest for Heavenly Emperor, for many occasions it was competed between three houses. This situation often appeared. Everyone was not worried about fairness. Before such an important event, the Xuan Yuan Clan would not cheat.

The contest for a spot in the Heavenly Emperor Gate would also be decided by three rounds.

The setup was exactly the same as arranged for the Sound of Thunder Sect, Flowing Sound Valley, and Misty Sword Sect. The Xuan Yuan Clan would also send three partic.i.p.ants of the same level. The relations.h.i.+p between winners and losers would be the same.

To the Qin Clan, having three rounds to decide the winner was an opportunity and also a challenge. It was because Xin Tianwen had a divine beast with power at the same level as him.

In the Upright Morality Hall, all the Supreme Dao elite warriors of the clan were present.

“Head Chief, since it’s three rounds, the situation for the Qin Clan is not advantageous.” Qin Chongyang’s tone sounded deeply worried and sick at heart.

If it were five or seven rounds to determine the winner, the Qin Clan could definitely seize the victory against the Xin Clan. It was because the Xin Clan did not have that many Supreme Dao warriors.

However, the contest for the Heavenly Emperor Gate would only have three rounds.

Qin Yunran and the other Supreme Dao elite warriors also showed a solemn expression. They looked at Qin Wushuang and clearly, they wanted to see what strategy he had.

Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “Everyone, in the three rounds, who will the Xin Clan send out?”

Qin Yunran said, “This is unquestionable, Xin Tianwen, Saber Beard, and Xin Tianchen. The Xin Clan does not have any other Supreme Dao elite warriors. Although the sealed beast soul has good combat power, their power will be greatly reduced if they are sent out as individuals. At most, Fourth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao sealed beast souls are on par with the Second or Third Calamity. When meeting Transformation Supreme Dao warriors of the same level, they will lose for sure. They should send Xin Tianchen, he is at least at the Third Calamity.

Xin Tianchen and Qin Yunran were on par with strength. In a brute battle, most likely neither would win. Even if Qin Yunran could defeat Xin Tianchen, the Qin Clan would only win one round. As for Xin Tianwen and Saber Beard, they were incredibly difficult to deal with.

Qin Wushuang asked seriously, “Chief Yunran, let me ask you an honest question. When you fight Xin Tianchen, if he summons the sealed beast soul, how much confidence do you have to fight?”

When summoning the sealed beast soul, plus with Xin Tianchen, it would be two against one. Qin Yunran must also be meticulous on such question. After some thinking, he gave a long sigh. “Unless I also have a sealed beast soul with the same level, my chances of winning would not be high.”

Qin Wushuang understood the rules on the battlefield. Sealed spiritual beasts have advantages. They could fight as individuals or as supporting beasts.

For other divine beast, they could only partic.i.p.ate as individuals. In terms of divine beasts, Qin Wushuang had many, yet they could only partic.i.p.ate as individuals.

For those twelve sealed spiritual beasts, they would not be effective in this level of battle.

Unfortunately, the previous six loops of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation did not have sealed divine beast scrolls. Or else, they would have a greater a.s.surance to deal with their current situation.

Upon seeing Qin Wushuang in silence, everyone remained solemn.

Qin Chongyang kept thinking of the battle, and still he could not see any chance to win. In this contest for Heavenly Emperor, the three partic.i.p.ants were strictly divided by levels. They were strictly cla.s.sified by strength. It would be useless to use people of different levels to deal with it.

According to Qin Chongyang’s estimation, since Grand Elder Xiaotian could not fight, the first partic.i.p.ant would naturally be Head Chief Wushuang. The second person will be Qin Yunran and third, will be Qin Chongyang or the Head Chief’s divine beast friends.

However, for this personnel arrangement, when fighting against Xin Tianwen, Saber Beard, and Xin Tianchen, perhaps they would not win one round.

This was not been pessimistic, but a reality.

Qin Wushuang seemed to know what everyone was concerned about. Just when he was about to say something, suddenly a gentle laugh came from outside the hall. “Everyone, with the grand occasion of the Heavenly Emperor contest, after much thinking, I should not have stayed in hiding.”

When everyone heard these words, instantly their eyes shone.

Qin Wushuang was also overjoyed as he stood up with roaring laughter. “Grand Elder Xiaotian, it’s great you can come out. Now everything is set except for the crucial decision.”

“Oh?” Qin Xiaotian walked in large strides and showed the expression as light as the spring breeze. “Summoned by the Head Chief, how can I not come? Ha ha, I will not be able to defeat Xin Tianwen, if you ask me. But, if you want me to sway on the arena, this is not a problem.”

“Ha ha, Head Chief, you will not mind if I ask you to fight a renouncing battle?” Qin Wushuang asked with a smile.

“I am a disciple of the Qin Clan, although I am the Grand Elder, I am bound by duty to fight for the Qin Clan. How could I mind? As long as the Qin Clan wins, why would I care to sacrifice my damaged body?” Qin Xiaotian spoke forcibly out of a sense of righteousness.

“Great, with your word, I must win the Heavenly Emperor no matter what!” Qin Wushuang was full of heroic spirit.

Qin Xiaotian was incredibly calm. “Hold on, Head Chief, I do have a question. For this great battle, you are asking me to do it as a show for this round. In fact, with my condition, it’s impossible for me to win. Even if you can seize one round, it seems Qin Yunran does not have much a.s.surance to win the next round. Could it be you will send out your divine beasts friends? They do not seem to be stronger than Yunran?”

“In crucial moments, perhaps they will also exert some effort, but not necessary. If Grand Elder steps out, there is no need for Chief Yunran to step out. We can lend him to the Floating Snow House or Misty Sword Sect.”

“Oh? Then who will be asked to step out?” Qin Xiaotian was slightly surprised.

Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Yunran with a smile. “Chief Yunran, do you remember, at that Illusion Heavenly Lake trip, a divine beast took me out of that ordeal island?”

“Yes, I would have forgotten it if you did not mention it.” Qin Yunran suddenly realized the light. “Do you mean that Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast?”

“Yes, that’s him. Back then he was already at the Sixth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. After all these years, he is now at the Peak of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage! Tell me, when someone at the Peak of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage steps out, what’s the chance to win against a little Xin Tianchen?”

As soon as he said these words, even someone as meticulous as Qin Chongyang was endlessly surprised. Peak of Transformation Supreme Dao Stage! When facing Xin Tianchen, even if he had the Transformation Supreme Dao beast, there would not be any suspense!

This round, they will have victory within their grasp!
