Chapter 288: We’ll Definitely Win, Huge Points Gap, Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art
Lan Yu won the battle between one versus a hundred in a landslide!
The power that she demonstrated had greatly shocked the audience and stunned all the sky-prides!
The audience went wild the instant Lan Yu came out of the Beast Summoning Tower!
“That’s just awesome! Truly remarkable! Who the hell is she?”
“I recognize her. That’s the Young Emperor Lan Yu, someone deemed by the divine predictor as a peerless sky-pride who can be compared to the Emperors of Old!”
“Her strength is truly terrifying!”
“By the heavens, she’s extremely powerful.”
Everyone looked at the figure donned in gorgeous silver-white armor with wonder, obsession, excitement, reverence, and other mixes of emotions in their eyes.
At this moment, Lan Yu was the center of attention!
Under the stunned gazes from the onlooking crowd of sky-prides, Lan Yu headed towards the Overlord Sage Tribe’s camp after exiting the Beast Summoning Tower. She simply lifted her head and looked at the grim-looking Overlord Sage Tribe Leader, Chang Tian and others.
“The Black Heaven Sect will win!”
She did not say much, but her words were full of determination.
At that, Chang Tian could not help but utter, “It’s still hard to tell who’ll emerge victorious in the end, so don’t rush to conclusions so soon!”
“Just wait and see then!”
Lan Yu turned and walked towards the direction of Black Heaven Sect.
Meanwhile, Murong Xuan who was behind her was incredibly frustrated.
“Now that I’ve joined the match, where’s my chance to join in on the action?”
He had initially wanted to take part in the first round, but that spot was nabbed by Lil Bing instead. Now that he could take part in the second round, Lan Yu single-handedly defeated all the beasts before he had the chance to display his strength.
However, compared to him, the participants from other orthodoxies were even more dumbfounded. They did not know how to react at all.
All of them felt that they were only there to fill in the numbers.
Lan Yu had already dealt with every beast inside the tower before they had a chance to shine, so what else could they do? They might as well surrender and give up.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
“All the beasts have already been killed, so what else is left for us?”
The participants from the other orthodoxies looked towards the judges.
The three prefects were unprepared for a situation like this too as they looked at each other and began to discuss.
A moment later, the Eleventh Prefect said, “The second round is now over. The Black Heaven Sect has accumulated a total of a hundred and fifty-six points!”
“As for the rest, all of them got… Zero points!”
All of the orthodoxies were extremely dissatisfied with those words.
“Why is that so? We haven’t even entered the Beast Summoning Tower yet!”
“That’s right. Why does that mean we have earned zero points then?”
The Eleventh Prefect continued to explain. “In the second round, a total of a hundred beasts were prepared as a challenge for everyone to defeat. In the event that all one hundred beasts had been completely defeated or when everyone has used up their turns to enter the tower, this round will be considered concluded.”
“Now that the Black Heaven Sect has eliminated all the beasts inside the tower, this round has now ended according to the rules. Everyone, please return and make preparations for the next round.”
Even the Eleventh Prefect felt slightly helpless to say that.
When they were planning for this round, they had never expected that someone would single-handedly challenge all one hundred beasts. After all, it was just too crazy to attempt!
Despite feeling dissatisfied, the participants from the other orthodoxies had nothing to say.
What else could they possibly say?
Could they blame Lan Yu for being too strong and leaving them with no chances?
“It’s truly as she said earlier. This round is one that luck will matter the most.” The Heaven Chord Sect’s Lady Snowflake commented as she looked at Lan Yu’s receding silhouette.
It was only because Lan Yu drew the number one that she was able to achieve the terrifying feat of killing all one hundred beasts. If she were to draw a number slightly further towards the end, the participants from the other orthodoxies would not have to suffer such disgrace and embarrassment.
“Leading with nineteen points in the first round! Then nabbing all one hundred and sixty-five points to themselves in the second! Hey, are you kidding me!”
“The Black Heaven Sect is just too strong!”
“Now, the total combined points of the other orthodoxies in Group Delta won’t even come close to the Black Heaven Sect’s.”
“All hail the Black Heaven Sect!”
Someone could not help but feel shocked upon noticing the huge point gap, and the audience then started to cheer for Black Heaven Sect.
Meanwhile, the looks of the participants from the other orthodoxies were not too pleasant.
Black Heaven Sect’s performance was just too impressive.
They had accumulated such a terrifying amount of points in just the first two rounds, gaining an absolute advantage to lead ahead of all the other participating orthodoxies.
“I used to think that without Chu Kuangren, the others from Black Heaven Sect were nothing to worry about. But it seems like we’ve made a mistake.”
“Just Lan Yu alone is enough for us to deal with.”
“We must go all out in the next round!”
The sky had turned dark by the time the first two rounds had ended.
Hence, the third round was scheduled on the second day of the championship.
Since the third round was a fighting match, the sky-prides from each orthodoxy were busy studying their opponents’ skills and techniques that very night.
Among them, most of the sky-prides were trying to find out about Lan Yu’s combat techniques.
The strength she had displayed inside the Beast Summoning Tower was extremely terrifying. If they had no countermeasures for her kind of combat strength, none of the sky-prides would have any chance of defeating her during this championship.
However, no matter how much they researched Lan Yu, the combat strength she displayed still made most of them feel very weak.
“The Hold Radiant Physique is a Supreme Daoist Physique. And on top of a few Sage Techniques that suit her combat style very well, she’s invincible. It’s just too difficult to defeat someone like her.”
“I can only hope that I don’t get paired with her tomorrow.”
In the Black Heaven Sect residence.
Chu Kuangren asked for Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others to see him.
“Sect Leader, what’s wrong?”
Nangong Huang asked straightforwardly.
“Tomorrow’s the fighting match. Here’s some information I have about the sky-prides that are in all four groups. Take this and give it a read.”
He took out a jade scroll and handed over it to them.
Nangong Huang received it curiously, and the moment he took a look inside, the information of each participating sky-pride flooded his mind. This included their cultivation level, cultivation techniques, strength and weaknesses of their techniques, weapons, and more. It was written in great detail.
“Where did you get this, Sect Leader!”
Even the sky-prides’ own orthodoxies might not necessarily have such detailed information about them. After all, who would not have some tricks up their sleeve? Tricks that not even they would reveal to the people close to them.
Yet all of that information was in Chu Kuangren’s possession.
“No need to bother about where it came from. Hopefully, this information will make it much easier for you guys to deal with them tomorrow. Take your time to study them tonight.”
Chu Kuangren said.
As to where all of this information came from? They all came from his eyes, of course.
He activated his Eye of Revelation while he stood unmoved during the opening ceremony today, so there was nothing that these sky-prides could hide from him.
With the information at hand, every of their opponent’s secret techniques or tricks were made known to Nangong Huang and the others, which greatly increased the chances of them winning.
…
“Congratulations Host, you have obtained the Starlight Grade Technique, Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art!”
Chu Kuangren woke up in the morning and drew his daily gacha roll.
Only to receive a Starlight Grade Technique.
“Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art?”
“Why does this technique sound so familiar?”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Then, he suddenly remembered. He had come across that technique in the ancient archives before.
Rumored had it that this technique was developed by a Sage more than ten thousand years ago. With this technique, one could improve their combat strength by setting their life force aflame.
It was said that the Sage’s wife was killed by a Great Sage. In an effort to seek revenge, the Sage was relentless in trying anything unconventional and eventually coming up with this technique. Later, he managed to use this technique and kill the Great Sage with his strength as an ordinary Sage, which was a clear indication of how terrifying this technique was.
However, since the price of this technique was the user’s life force, the user’s lifespan would shorten the moment this technique was used. In worse cases, the user would be depleted of his or her life force and end up dead on the spot!
