C235 Profound Thunder
It's late in the morning!
The martial arts arena in the capital was once again filled with people. Everyone was looking forward to the next peak battle.
The nine people participating in this competition represented the highest level of young cultivators in the Western Region's military career. It was also a rare experience to be able to appreciate the battles between these people.
Today, other than the contestants, the many spectators, and the six huge Silver Thrones, a huge Golden Thrones faintly appeared in the distant Nine Heavens.
Luo Tongtian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the throne. He didn't expect West King to appear as well.
It was still the host from yesterday, and his tone was still as serious as before. However, when he drew the lots, Luo Tongtian's heart was filled with a sense of nervousness.
Because today's opponents were different from those useless people from yesterday. Each of them had powerful combat strength and a strong foundation. When fighting with them, not only did they have to have strength, endurance, and perseverance, but they also had to pay attention to strategy.
To participate in this kind of cyclical battle, rational choice was an extremely important part. Luo Tongtian originally had no idea about the profoundness behind it. Only when he entered the arena and received Du Zhongtian's teachings did he have a well-thought-out plan.
Each of the nine of them would have eight battles in a cycle. Objectively speaking, each of the eight battles should be fought with all their might and courage.
However, due to the uncertainty of the battle situation and the principle of damaging the battle, when experts defeated their opponents, they would either intentionally or unintentionally make heavy moves. It was best to make the opponent lose the ability to fight again and then be eliminated.
In this way, they would be able to more effectively guarantee their chances of winning.
Otherwise, if the loser they defeated was lucky and defeated the other injured opponents, it was very likely that they would surpass them.
After considering all these factors, the rational choice was widely spread among the round-robin players.
The core of this method was to choose to retreat without hesitation when facing an undefeatable powerhouse. To avoid being heavily injured and losing the opportunity to continue fighting; to meet an opponent with similar strength. Try your best to win; when you meet someone weaker than you, attack with all your strength, use your fastest speed. The least amount of strength would make him lose the ability to fight.
Although this method was shameless, dirty, and lacked the style of martial arts, it was the most effective method under the premise that he pursued results on a one sided basis.
Apart from Gong Yang, who was participating in the Grand Competition this time, Hua Yishen, Luo Tongtian, Yin Wuji, and Zhan Guanglie were the four super experts of the capital. They were Shangguan Ting, Ying Caicai, Guming, and Luo Yu.
Luo Tongtian's eyes slowly swept across the eight opponents. He could feel a huge dangerous aura from everyone. This made him smile bitterly to himself, "I can't just admit defeat on the battlefield."
However, when he used the water Light Mirror to check again, he determined the degree of danger among the eight people. Among them, the elite Luo Yu of the capital gave him the strongest sense of danger, followed by Shangguan Ting. Hua Yishen, Zhan Guanglie. Compared to them, the other four people's aura of danger was slightly weaker.
"Four matches, forfeit four matches!"
After pondering for a moment, Luo Tongtian decided to follow the Water King Mirror's judgment.
Right at this moment, a golden scroll appeared out of nowhere, giving people the feeling of an extremely luxurious king.
When it slowly unfolded in the wind, the exciting words appeared on it: Shangguan Ting against Yin Wuji, Ying Caicai against Zhan Guanglie, Luo Yu against Luo Tongtian.
In order to show the fairness of the competition, Hua Yishen was the only one who had a temporary rest in this round of four matches.
After the four competitors walked onto the fighting stage, they all made different choices: Yin Wuji chose to admit defeat without hesitation, Zhan Guanglie's Doomsday Shuttle and Heaven Transformation Mirror were blocked by Ying Caicai and also chose to give up. As for Gong Yang and Luo Tongtian, they launched their most ferocious attacks at the two experts of King's City.
Gong Yang held the Lightning Blade in his hand and wore the Heavenly Armor. His whole body was as sharp as lightning. Luo Yu's body was burning with hellfire. The Dark Dark Dark Halberd in his hand was like an old demon. Each attack carried a devil wave.
The two of them fought until the sky turned dark and the sun and the moon lost their light. It made the audience feel intoxicated.
Compared to their exciting battle, the battle between Luo Tongtian and Guming was a little boring.
"Brat, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have a few magic treasures to participate in the capital's competition. In my eyes, you are just a tiny ant."
When Guest Du sent Guming to test Luo Tongtian earlier, he had been rudely insulted by Luo Tongtian. Now that they had finally met, Guming naturally had to teach him a good lesson.
"Don't come. Even if it's an ant, I can still bite you to death, you little bug."
Luo Tongtian curled his lips and pointed at Guming with a cold smile.
"Really? Then I will see what you have to do."
Guming sneered. The peach wood sword in his hand slashed out a dense peach forest towards Luo Tongtian. This peach wood had the ability to suppress demons and avoid evil. At this moment, it was whistling down, bringing along the eternal righteousness.
"Mountain and River Shattering!"
Facing the attack of this rank 2 spirit cultivator in front of him, Luo Tongtian used the True Martial Sword to use the Mountain and River Shattering Technique. A supreme Martial God howled, and with a single palm, he destroyed the peach forest.
"Eh? Why did the True Martial Sword suddenly become so powerful? Could it be the effect of the golden energy?"
Although using the Heaven Melting Furnace to burn the Martial Pill could greatly increase Luo Tongtian's combat strength. However, fighting a rank 2 spirit cultivator head on was still a very disadvantageous thing.
But at this time, the True Martial Sword in his hand not only struck out a supreme Martial God, but also easily disintegrated the opponent's attack. This caused Luo Tongtian to reveal a shocked expression.
"Activate the peach forest and unleash the demonic devils!"
Daoist Guming shouted and opened the peach forest space, unleashing thousands of demonic devils.
Some of these demonic devils had three heads and six arms, some had four eyes and six ears, some had human heads and horses, and some looked very strange. However, they had one thing in common - demonic qi was everywhere, and their combat strength was unparalleled.
"Supreme Martial God, vanquish demons and devils!"
Luo Tongtian once again used the True Martial Sword to summon the supreme Martial God, and struck those demons to death with lightning speed.
"Spread the beans and turn them into weapons!"
"Thousands of peach weapons!"
Accompanied by a series of elegant music, pink peach blossoms fell and turned into rows of enchanting female soldiers wearing veils and holding silk ribbons. As they moved, the pink and delicate flowers appeared, and they were extremely alluring.
At the same time, Guming's big hand sprinkled beans and turned them into rows of sharp armored and murderous iron soldiers. They carried violent Combat Qi and attacked Luo Tongtian.
"You want to compete with me in numbers? I'll accompany you."
Luo Tongtian coldly snorted and used the power of the Water King Set to summon the water element. Blue light flickered around him, and waves of water element roared out.
"Seven Stars Glorious Sun, pierce through!"
After seeing the water elements summoned by Luo Tongtian surround his bean weapon and peach weapon in the opposite direction, the purple-gold Seven Stars Crown on Guming's head flickered, and seven rays of light burst out, shooting towards Luo Tongtian with the momentum of seven stars.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
After the rays passed through the layers of defense of the Water King Set, their strength was greatly reduced.
But even so, the sharp beam was still enough to kill cultivators below the Half-step Spiritual Cultivator level.
However, what surprised Guming was that after the Seven Star Beam hit Luo Tongtian's body, it disappeared into thin air like a mud cow entering the sea. This made him widen his eyes in disbelief.
One had to know that the attack power of this Purple Gold Seven Star Crown was so powerful that it could almost be compared to the full power attack of a Fourth Grade spirit cultivator. Luo Tongtian didn't even move his body, but he had already defended against the Seven Star Ray. This was really extraordinary.
"You can't do it. You should just watch me."
Luo Tongtian took a deep breath. He used the Heaven Melting Furnace to burn the tenth grade Martial Pill in one breath. Finally, he activated the lightning talisman in the Lightning Martial Bead. In the blink of an eye, a finger thick lightning bolt burst forth.
"Tch, after using half of my Heavenly Energy, I can't believe my fart came out."
"That's right, Guming is a spirit cultivator, how can this Little Lei do anything to him?"
The surrounding audience were mostly the royal family of the capital, even though they thought highly of Luo Tongtian. However, when his opponent was the elite of the capital, Guming, they unconsciously shifted their focus to him.1
At this moment, when they saw Luo Tongtian release the Ray, they could not help but mock him.
Those with experience could not help but show a solemn expression when they saw this ray of lightning.
Especially the Supreme Almighty on the Silver Throne, their reactions were completely different from the audience's.
They watched as Little Lei slowly descended, and felt the supreme profundity contained within it. All of them revealed expressions of shock.
