te to dodge now, all I can do is frantically circulate my protective qi, hoping it can withstand this punch.It turned out he had overestimated himself. The protective qi was as fragile as an eggshell..."This is impossible! How could this be How could there be a Void Core Stage disciple in Tianluo Prefecture"
Although the facts were right there in front of him, Bai Li Xing Kong was still unable to accept them.
According to his past understanding, the strongest cultivator in Tianluo State was only at the Dongxu stage. How could a young disciple under twenty-five years old possibly possess such cultivation
Ximen Feng smiled faintly, her smile filled with sarcasm.
You lack the understanding to comprehend that man's power. He could forge even someone at my level, a peak Mahayana cultivator, so how much more so for someone at the Void-Whisk stage
The competition continued, with some battles ending quickly due to vast differences in cultivation levels, while others, involving cultivators of similar strength, raged on until dusk.
Mu Xiaoyun drew in the fourth round, her opponent was just a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It was too easy for her and she easily won.
By dusk, the final bout of the fifth round concluded. Overall, it was a rather uneventful affair with the stronger fighters achieving expected victories. The only surprise came from Tianluo Prefecture's impressive performance.
Before this, many people speculated that the five disciples from Tianluo Prefecture would not even win a single victory and would ultimately leave in disgrace.
But what no one expected was that, besides Hu Yayao and Ye Bufan who drew a pair, the rest of the people all won, which was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
If we disregard the number of participants and look at the win rate per state, Tianluo State's 80% win rate undoubtedly surpasses all other four states, taking the top spot.
On the Tian Shengzhou side, everyone led by Bai Li Xingkong's face was very ugly.
Originally, they had fifteen disciples participating, but after one round of competition, only seven remained, with more than half being eliminated. Two of them were defeated by those from the Tianluo State.
"Your Highness, there's no need to dwell on this. After all, victory and defeat are common occurrences in warfare."
It ultimately comes down to who reaches the finish line, not how many people start.
In contrast, Li Miaozhen's expression was very relaxed. After all, the performance of Hanjian Immortal Sect was acceptable, and most importantly, she had Leng Qingqiu as her trump card in hand.
As long as Fairy Han Jian can win the final championship, she will immediately have 128 points, basically securing the first place. The performance of others is completely insignificant.
Baili Xingkong agreed with her statement, but his expression remained grim. "No matter what, I won't let those people in Tianluo Prefecture get away with it."
He wasn't feeling well because, firstly, Tiansheng Prefecture hadn't met expectations, and secondly, the unexpectedly good performance of Tianluo Prefecture, which he had always looked down upon, was something he couldn't accept.
The scene quickly returned to order, with disciples from all over the world returning to their seats. The winners were beaming and celebrating, while the losers hung their heads in disappointment. Some of the injured tended to their wounds.
"Bai Li Xing Kong's voice rang out once more: 'Today's competition is over here, and tomorrow the second round of battles will take place. However, before that, we need to draw lots.'"
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he sent another fifty orbs soaring into the air.
Ye Bufan was a little taken aback. The competition wasn't until tomorrow, so why were they drawing lots today
But no matter what, since we've started, let's just draw. It doesn't really matter when we draw lots anyway.
He, along with Jiang Fangzhou and several others, stepped forward to draw lots. He quickly grasped a luminous orb in his hand.
This time I drew a black number 5 ball. Because I don't know where the white number 5 ball is, I can't see the result yet.
After the draw was completed, Bai Li Xingkong on stage began to announce the groups for the next round of matches.
"Ye Bufan, a student from Shui Mu University in Tian Luo Prefecture, to Yin Li, a member of the Yin Men sect in Tian Mang Prefecture..."
"Tianluo Prefecture Shuimu University Lu Xueman vs. Tianwu Prefecture Huajianpai Hua Ruyu..."
"Tianluo State Shuimu University Jiang Fangzhou versus Tianwu State Jijianmen Nangong Du..."
"Tiānluó Zhōu Tiānshuǐ Gé Shuǐyuè Lì against Tiānmáng Zhōu Xuánwǔ Mén Huángshí..."
Although the four sets of draws were announced in different orders, taken together they immediately caused an uproar.
"Holy crap, what's going on Has Tianluo State used up all its luck Why are they always encountering super-powered beings"
“It's really something, how are they all so strong They're all in the Void Core stage, and they're all core disciples of the Nine Star Sect. What's the point of even fighting..."
"It's over, Tianluo Prefecture is finished this time. Pack your things and get ready to go home..."
Seeing this draw result, Ye Bufan's expression also sank.
He didn't care if he drew hidden gates or Yin Li, but when you put all the draws together, it was obvious something was wrong. To say there wasn't a conspiracy here would be naive.
It's obvious that the organizers are behind this, their goal is to completely eliminate the participating disciples from Tianluo State.
Although Yin Li's cultivation was not particularly high, everyone had seen his terrifying methods before. In the eyes of many, dealing with Ye Bufan, this lucky guy, was more than enough.
As for the remaining three, their opponents were each stronger than the last.
Needless to say, Nangong Du and Hua Ru Yu are core disciples of the Jiuxing Sect, powerhouses at the peak of Dongxu. Their strength is self-evident, and it's no surprise that they won the final championship.
and the Xuanwu Gate where Huangshi is located is also one of the Nine Star Sects in Tianmang Prefecture. They are best known for their defense, and I am also a master at the peak of the Void Opening realm, with a defensive power that is simply unbelievable.
Facing such a deadly group, Ye Bufan was very clear that the other three people had no chance of winning besides himself.
He saw that the others were equally indignant.
Jiang Fangzhou angrily cursed, "Damn it, these bastards are screwing us!"
Nalan Yujia shouted: "I'm going to have a theory with those old bastards!"
"Well, that's useless!"
Ye Bufan pulled her back, although he knew the other party was scheming against him, there was no evidence. Everyone had drawn lots to decide their opponent. Going would only lead to humiliation.
Nalan Yujia cried out, “Could we just endure this”
Ye Bufan's expression was grim. "Arguing about this is pointless. The best way to fight back is to win the championship. Then we'll see what they have to say."
The other party is indeed a good schemer, but the only flaw is that they don't know their own strength. Arranging an Inner Gate disciple Yin Li to deal with themselves is simply not enough to look at.
Lu Xue man said: "Xiaofan, who do you think is trying to harm us"
Ye Bufan said, "Need I say more It must be that old geezer Bai Li Xing Kong, he just manipulated the draw."
This lottery method looks fair, but if the host wants to cheat, it's very easy because they know exactly which number is in each light ball.
At this moment, Bai Li Xingkong's voice echoed throughout the arena once more: "Alright, everyone, go back now. Tomorrow at dawn, come here again and compete in groups according to this draw."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the schoolyard began to disperse.
Before Tianluozhou could even leave, Nangong Du and his group walked over with sneers on their faces.let out a cold snort, unable to utter a word at this moment. He could only fix his icy gaze upon Qi Xiuyuan and Jiang Wenxiao."Are you people from the Demon Sect"The two of them trembled all over, the...
