C608 The Seven Emperors
After a day of competition, Ling Xiao and the others had all passed the first round.
However, Bai Yuxi had suffered quite a bit of injury in the last round. Fortunately, she was not killed.
Looking at the injured Bai Yuxi, Ling Xiao's heart was very painful. He decided not to let Bai Yuxi participate in the second round.
He would let her experience the baptism of battle and she would be fine. In the future, as long as she raised her rank, she would have the ability to protect herself. This way, Ling Xiao did not need to worry anymore.
"Young Master, am I useless?" In the inn, Bai Yuxi said to Ling Xiao with a pale face.
Ling Xiao caressed Bai Yuxi's hair with pity. "No, my Yuxi is the kindest. It is the young master who forced you to do things that you do not like. It is all the young master's fault. You will not blame the young master, will you?
Bai Yuxi buried her head in Ling Xiao's embrace, closed her eyes and breathed in Ling Xiao's unique manly scent.
She said lightly, "How can I blame Young Master? I know Young Master is doing this for my own good. No matter what Young Master wants me to do, Yuxi will not complain.
Bai Yuxi had such a character. She was kind and gentle. To put it bluntly, there was a little disobedience, but this was also to Ling Xiao.
"Don't worry. Young Master won't force you to do anything you don't want to do in the future." Ling Xiao said. Ling Xiao kissed Bai Yuxi's cheek, and then carried her onto the bed, allowing her to meditate and recover her spirit energy.
After half a month, the first round of martial arts competition finally ended.
Twelve thousand people, in the end, only a thousand people entered the second round.
During this half a month, Ling Xiao and the others went to watch the battles every day. They saw all kinds of powerful Earthly Sovereigns, their dazzling Profound Skill, shocking secret arts, and all kinds of Protective Spirit Beasts. They were truly not poor.
Among the remaining over a thousand people, three out of them were Earth Emperor of High Rank while the rest were Earth Emperor of Middle Rank. The only one who had advanced to the Earth Emperor of Low Rank realm was Yuan Zhantian.
His popularity was also the most popular among all the emperors. Many powers were trying to find out his background, and at the same time, they were using all kinds of temptations to rope him into their own powers.
As for what Yuan Zhantian was thinking, Ling Xiao had no idea.
During the past half a month, Ling Xiao had paid special attention to seven people. These seven people were the Earthly Sovereigns that Ling Xiao had determined would have the chance to enter the top ten of the competition.
Other than Yuan Zhantian, the seven people were: Wen Huang, Bai Mensheng, Tuoba Yuan, Gu Mingzhu; Gu Jiaojiao; Guan Xiong; and Chang Jingda.
Wen Huang looked like an elegant and handsome man. His cultivation base was at the Peak Earth Emperor realm. As long as he understood his own Dao, he would be able to break through to the Natal Opening Realm very soon. He was one of the true disciples of the Blue Sun Religion. He was just like Xuan Yao, a light attribute warrior. He was good at using the bone fan. He had won ten matches in a row, but he hadn't even summoned the Spirit Beast yet. Moreover, his opponent hadn't even exchanged three moves with Xuan Yao. It could be seen that his strength was extraordinary.
Bai Mensheng's appearance was ordinary, but his expression was extremely feminine. He was also a true disciple of the Blue Sun Religion, and he had the strength of a Earth Emperor of High Rank. He had cultivated the water element to the level of four Clone Arts in the secret realm of the Blue Sun Religion. However, Ling Xiao was sure that these four clones weren't his full strength, because he seemed too calm in every battle. Basically, he would kill his opponent within a few moves, not giving his opponent any chance to beg for mercy. This was exactly the same as Shen Mo.
Tuoba Yuan came from a direct descendant of the Great World's Tuoba family. The Tuoba family's strength was comparable to the Fourth Rank Sect. Tuoba Yuan was a genius of their new generation. He was already a Earth Emperor of High Rank at the age of thirty-five. He cultivated the rare lightning attribute, and his lightning attack was so powerful that no one could get close to him. He had squandered all ten matches with just one move, and his combat strength was astonishing.
Gu Mingzhu was an outstanding disciple from the Fifth Grade Sect's Falling Dawn Sect. She had the strength of a Earth Emperor of High Rank warrior, and she cultivated the wood attribute. She had a high tier fifth grade Green Pine Raccoon as a Protective Spirit Beast, and the combination of a human and a beast was perfect. She had also advanced with an absolute advantage. Through observation, Ling Xiao learned that this woman should still have quite a few trump cards. It was just that one would only know after a competition.
Gu Jiaojiao's appearance was slightly inferior to Gu Mingzhu's, but she was still petite and cute. Her face always had a shallow dimple, giving people a pure feeling. Her face always had a harmonious smile, but her attacks were not soft at all. The control of the Profound Skill made Ling Xiao suspect that this girl had the identity of an alchemist, because her flame should be the flame of some kind of beast flame. From this point, it was not hard to guess. This girl was the daughter of the head of the Gu family. Ten years ago, a person from the Gu family had entered the top hundred of the Imperial Ranking competition. And that man was Gu Jiaojiao's big brother. She hoped that she would be able to achieve the same name as her big brother, "Combat Emperor.
Guan Xiong was a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his sixties. He was a Peak Earth Emperor warrior who cultivated both earth and wood attributes. He was a free mercenary, and his killing intent was extremely violent. Normally, his opponent would be scared to the point that his legs would go soft. This guy was extremely abnormal. Before killing someone, he had to kill his opponent's Spirit Beast first, unless the other party admitted defeat in advance. None of the seven people that died in his hands were able to keep their corpses intact.
Chang Jingda was the oldest among the seven. He was already ninety-seven years old. He was infinitely close to a hundred years old. He looked very old. However, he was a genuine Peak Earth Emperor, perhaps because of Ming Wuchi's reward. He had just come to participate in this battle for Peak Earth Emperors. He specialized in claw techniques and cultivated a strange movement technique. He belonged to that kind of expert in close combat. Ling Xiao thought that Chang Jingda was the most likely person to be in the top ten in this competition, because this person was the most cautious and never underestimated his opponent. His combat experience was also the most experienced, and even though each battle required a considerable amount of time, However, his steady and steady fighting style made it even more difficult for him to make mistakes.
Apart from these seven people, there were also a few people that Ling Xiao paid attention to. Perhaps those people were dark horses that hid their strength.
Ling Xiao naturally did not fear anyone here. His goal was not only to enter the top ten. He wanted to obtain the glory title of "First Throne" in the entire Central Region.
The reason why he was observing them so carefully was because he had absorbed the combat strength and secret techniques of the young geniuses of Central Region. He also reminded the people around him that they should avoid these people as much as possible, so that they could avoid unnecessary fierce battles during the battle.
The first round of the competition had ended, and the second round of the competition had begun very quickly.
Currently, more than a thousand people had entered the second round, and the rules were the same as the first round. Those who won ten matches in a row would enter the last round of the competition. In other words, the top hundred of the small competition would be born in the second round.
Those who could enter the second round were extremely strong, so they were extremely cautious in choosing their opponents.
Ling Xiao planned to let them wait until the others had accumulated enough strength before challenging them. This way, they could save a lot of combat strength.
However, many of them had similar thoughts. The second round of the competition was much slower than the first round.
Because most people were looking for the weakest opponent to challenge.
In the end, Ye Yunfeng could not hold it in anymore and jumped onto the third ring. He defeated his opponent who had just won a battle and began to wait for the other nine to challenge him.
Ling Xiao secretly cursed Ye Yunfeng for being too impatient. However, this was also a good way to temper his combat strength.
Nine consecutive battles were quite stifling in the second round. Every single opponent was an extremely shocking figure.
Ye Yunfeng's victory in the first two battles was rather relaxed, but he had no choice but to summon his Spirit Beast in the third battle.
Ye Yunfeng's medicinal Spirit Beast could also be considered to have appeared before everyone for the first time. His medicinal Spirit Beast was no longer the Tier 4 medicinal Spirit Beast that he brought out from the Ye Family previously, but the peak Tier 5 medicinal Astral Yellow Lion that he captured before participating in the competition for medicinal Astral Yellow Lions.
The medicinal Astral Yellow Lions belonged to that type of battle-type medicinal Spirit Beasts. They also had a rare sound wave attack, making it difficult for the opponent to guard against them.
A man and a beast cooperated and won a few more matches.
It was just that as he consumed too much energy, Ye Yunfeng had no choice but to apply for two hours of rest before the seventh battle to recover.
As for the winners of the consecutive battles, they could apply for a break midway. Otherwise, not every single one of them would be able to fight ten people without being injured or defeated.
With the high grade recovery medicinal Pill that Ling Xiao had prepared in advance, Ye Yunji's condition had mostly recovered after an hour.
At the final juncture, Ling Xiao had no choice but to instruct Ye Yunfeng to be more careful.
Ye Yunfeng also realized that there would definitely be many people who wanted to take away his victory fruit, so he focused 120% of his attention.
In the last three rounds, he had to make it through no matter what.
If he couldn't even make it through these three rounds, how could he make it into the top 100 during the competition and become a true Combat Emperor?
In the following two matches, Ye Yunfeng won with great difficulty. He had suffered many injuries, and his combat strength had dropped drastically.
If he hadn't relied on the power of the Astral Yellow Lion, he would probably have died a long time ago.
In the last match, a seventy to eighty year old Peak Earth Emperor had luckily obtained the opportunity to fight Ye Yunfeng.
This Peak Earth Emperor was called Hua Fanzheng, and he cultivated the wind attribute. The Protective Spirit Beast was a Fifth Order high rank Yin Wind Wolf.
"Kid, on the account that you helped me win so many matches, admit defeat!" Hua Fan was speaking faintly to Ye Yunfeng. Judging from his confident expression, it seemed like victory was already within his grasp.
"If you want to defeat me, you have to show me your abilities first!" The golden spear in Ye Yunfeng's hand shook violently. The golden spear shadows that filled the sky shot toward Hua Fan.
At the same time, the Astral Yellow Lion released waves of terrifying sound waves towards Hua Fan and the Yin Wind Wolf.
However, Hua Fan Zheng seemed to have long been prepared. He used energy to isolate his eardrums from the sound of the outside world. At the same time, he used the wind attribute to quickly escape from Ye Yunfeng's attack.
A silver long sword appeared in his hand. Gray Wind Blades shot towards the injured Ye Yunfeng.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yunfeng's body was hit by the Wind Blades a few times. Fortunately, he was wearing spirit artifact level defensive armor, isolating most of the Wind Blades.
However, he could block it for a moment, but it was hard to block for an entire lifetime.
Hua Fan was using his super fast speed to fight Ye Yunfeng, depleting Ye Yunfeng's combat strength. From time to time, he would take advantage of Ye Yunfeng's slow reaction time to strike a few times.0
Ye Yunfeng's four limbs were covered in wounds, and his Qi was greatly reduced.
Just when everyone thought he was going to lose, Ye Yunfeng's combat strength suddenly soared.
