999: C999 Already Started

C999 Already Started

Four hours passed in the blink of an eye.

A loud and clear melodious horn sound spread across every corner of Saint Flood Dragon Island, which also meant that the second round of the War of Heavenly Talisman competition was about to begin.

The people who were resting and playing on the island all started to gather at the Coiled Flood Dragon Platform Plaza in succession.

Chu Hen, Zheng Shu and the rest had a simple moment of rest before they returned to the Coiled Flood Dragon Platform once more.

Compared to the first round, the number of spectators in the audience seating had not decreased, instead, it had increased.

The black mass of people had a grand momentum.

The crowd outside the stage were all cheering with their arms raised high, shouting loudly.

"Whale Island City, you have to win!"

"The Zhongyuan City is the strongest!"

"Go for it!"

"Great Crocodile Bay!"

All sorts of cheers came from the spectators as the air currents soared to the sky. If it was just a single round of cheering, then Whale Island City and Zhongyuan City would be the loudest.

Amidst the crowd of spectators, every popular competitor's gaze was burning with pride and arrogance. They were like dragons that were about to enter the sea, eager to give it a try …

The City Master Chi Ming and the four patriarchs had already taken their seats in the spectator stand of the host at the north side.

All of them seemed to be figures whose Whale Island City covered the sky with one hand, and their faces all glowed with a red light. Only the Patriarch of the Shen Family had a gloomy face due to the fact that Shen Hu had been crippled.

"The second round of the competition is about to begin. All those who are not involved, leave the field immediately!"

The Shui clan elder, Shui Yuan, who was in charge of hosting the competition, waved his hand and spoke with a tone that could not be denied.

Very quickly, the scattered people in the plaza all quickly retreated to the spectators seats.

In the blink of an eye, only the lifelike statue of the Flood Dragon was left on the spacious and empty plaza …

Immediately after, Shui Yuan shot a glance at the management leaders behind him.

The few of them understood, and with a movement of their bodies, they respectively appeared on the plaza.

At the same time, more than a dozen strong auras landed on the outer perimeter of the square one after another …

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, the passerby simultaneously unleashed a wave of Spiritual Yi Strength … …

A strong wind gathered and a whirlwind swept in all directions.

The Spiritual Yi Strength released from that person's body was like a ball of golden flames that rose into the sky. It was more than ten times stronger than when he summoned the four Black Illusory Tower in the first round …

"What are they doing?" Qiao Xiaowan who had returned to the audience seats asked.

"Set up a barrier!" Zheng Shu replied from the side as he gained some understanding.

A barrier?

The corner of Chu Hen's eyes congealed. Amongst the nearly twenty people present, there were at least seven or eight Heavenly Pattern Master s.

Judging from the Spiritual Yi Strength undulations, the power of the barrier was probably enough to suppress any expert of the profound strength realm and below …

"Rise!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged men who were leading the group all shouted.

In that instant, a surging wave of Spiritual Yi Strength flooded over the entire Coiled Flood Dragon Platform like a tide, and the other Pattern Master also released their strength at the same time.

"Crack!"

The stone tiles shattered and the ground split apart.

From the bottom of the audience seating and from the ground at the edge of the square, one solid stone wall after another appeared …

The stone walls emerged from the soil and connected head to toe. They were like bone medallions that directly surrounded the plaza in a circle, forming a special battle ring …

One after another, gorgeous Rune And Secret Talisman began to circle above the stone wall like Light Vine s.

The stone wall was only about a meter high, but it gave the impression of separating the audience stands from the battlefield in a completely safe distance

The internal arena's diameter exceeded five hundred meters, and occupied more than two-thirds of the total area of the Coiled Flood Dragon Platform.

To the Pattern Master, this place was still wide open.

After all, to martial cultivators, the competition of the rune technique's movement speed was relatively low.

"Use the Spirit Formation Wall as the boundary!" Shui Yuan said loudly, "The inner region is where the second round of battles will take place in the War of Heavenly Talisman. All of the participants inside the barrier are unable to use the Martial Arts! This is the main rule of this round of competition. "

After pausing for a moment, Shui Yuan spoke again, "Then, all those who have advanced in the first round are invited to enter the barrier wall."

The din began to overlap.

One figure after another walked out of the audience stands and into the arena.

"Brother Chu Hen, let's go!" Zheng Shu said, his eyes blazing with fire.

Chu Hen nodded, and the two of them immediately entered the competition grounds.

When Chu Hen stepped into the interior of the 'barrier', a bizarre force suddenly surged into his body. In the next moment, Chu Hen felt as if the True Elemental Strength in his dantian had fallen into a motionless state, as if it had been completely frozen, and was unable to be activated at all.

Not only was the True Elemental Strength suppressed to the point that it could not move, even the strength of the Boundary of Blood Lineage was difficult to use.

"So that's how it is!"

Chu Hen was secretly surprised, the purpose of the enchantment was to prevent people from using the True Elemental Strength during the competition.

After all, this world did not lack geniuses who dual cultivated both the 'Spirit and Martial Arts'.

In this way, he would be able to ensure the fairness of the War of Heavenly Talisman.

Many people who had advanced in the first round entered the competition area one after another.

With a single glance, he saw more than a hundred people.

In other words, the number of Pattern Master participating in the third round would only be around fifty to sixty people

"Heh, I heard that the first round of your challenge was against the hardest Rune?" The Liu Family Genius Liu Yan tilted his gaze, looking at the Zhongyuan City Genius Song Xiu with ridicule.

Song Xiu was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, his expression was unclear, and he did not reply Liu Yan.

Liu Yan revealed a frivolous smile, he shook his head and laughed, "I kindly reminded you not to overdo it."

Song Xiu remained silent.

On the other side, the Shui family's genius Shui Feng was also looking at Su Lingzhu with an arrogant and provocative gaze.

Su Lingzhu's willow-shaped eyebrows stretched out and her eyes were clear as water, showing that she was extremely calm. She merely swept a glance over Chi Juexin's body, and did not have too many emotions.

Even before the competition had begun, the aura of sharpness exuded by the geniuses had already reached a stalemate.

Chi Juexin, Su Lingzhu, Liu Yan, Shui Feng and the others were like pearls in the night, gathering together, fighting for glory.

Compared to that, the newly arrived Chu Hen was much more dejected.

"The numbers are double!"

Shui Yuan held onto a namelist, and roughly counted the people on the field.

At the same time, a young beautiful maid walked to Shui Yuan's side and held onto a tray in her hands.

There were more than a hundred jade tokens shining with spiritual light on the plate.

"The rules of this round's competition will be carried out by drawing lots!" Shui Yuan pointed to the jade plates on the trays and said, "All of these jade plates have corresponding numbers carved on them, whoever draws the same number will be their opponent."

The opponent with the same number of points!

Everyone's eyes turned cold and their expressions turned solemn.

Many people were secretly praying that they would not meet Chi Juexin, Liu Yan, Su Lingzhu and the rest.

"I'll repeat the rules of the competition. I can only use the rune technique. Do not use any Martial Arts s power, including weapons, Pill s, and even runes. Of course, if you have the ability, you can refine some things during the competition to join the battle.

Shui Yuan's voice did not allow for any doubt.

"Is anyone suspicious?"

No one answered!

"Alright then!" Shui Yuan's old eyes widened, he then waved his hand, "Hua!" A strong gust of wind swept past, in an instant, the hundred over jade tablets carried by the servant girl flew out.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

A dense rain of lights and shadows flew towards the contestants in the square.

"Hehe, this is mine." Liu Yan flashed in the sky, and like a dragonfly touching the water, he kept a ray of light onto his palm, causing the people below him to cheer.

Chi Juexin smiled indifferently. With a flick of his fingertip, a strand of golden light flashed out, and like a needle piercing, it instantly wrapped around one of the jade plates and kept it between his fingers.

Su Lingzhu, Song Xiu, Shui Feng and the others had also obtained their jade plates.

Since Zheng Shu was standing at the back and did not have much choice, he casually received the two jade plates that flashed in front of him.

"What's your number?" Zheng Shu immediately stuck his head out and asked.

But when he saw that the jade token in Chu Hen's hand had the words' twenty-fourth 'engraved on it, Zheng Shu heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, we are not his match!"

Chu Hen smiled slightly, and did not say much.

On the other side, Chi Juexin shot a glance at Chu Hen, disdain seemingly flashing past his eyes.

"The contestant who got the 'number one' Jade Stick will remain on stage. The rest of the contestants, return to the sidelines!" Shui Yuan's calm and powerful voice resonated once again.

Everyone understood and retreated.

Returning to the audience seats, the pressure on Chu Hen lessened and the True Elemental Strength in his body became active once more.

Ye Yao asked.

"How is it? Which scene are you in? "

"Brother Chu Hen is the twenty-fourth," Zheng Shu answered first.

"24? "Not to the front, not to the empress dowager, I don't know who my opponent is," Mouse muttered in a low voice.

Soon, only two people remained on the field.

One of them was weak in stature, while the other was tall and big. The two stood facing each other, and there was a clear difference in aura between them.

"That's Li Chong from the Trade City."

"There's also Ma He from Giant Alligator Bay."

"Not bad! The first round will be between these two, and that Li Chong is known for his fast hand speed and surprise attack. "

"What's the use of fast hand speed?" Ma He is two levels higher than Li Chong, and Heavenly Pattern Master's two levels are not something that can be made up for just by relying on speed. "

It could be seen that the two of them were quite famous, and the audience was also looking forward to their performance.

On the stage, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ma He from the Giant Alligator Bay looked at Li Chong, who was shorter than him by a head, and coldly laughed, "It's really unfortunate, you can begin the exit declaration now."

"Oh?" Li Chong looked unimpressed, "Are you bullying me because I'm short? "Be careful not to dislocate your jaw from me."

"Hur hur, are you done talking?"

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably powerful Spiritual Yi Strength instantly exploded out of Ma He's Niwan Palace. A series of dazzling Rune began to circle between his fingers.

"Dragon fire!"

"Whoosh!"

In a split-second, the Rune opened up like a rain of smoke. Along with the scorching heat, a pillar of flame with terrifying flames flew out from Ma He's arm.

The approaching fire pillar was like a fire python that originated from hell. Wherever it went, the ground would be scorched black.

"So ruthless?"

The prodigy Li Chong's face changed, with a flick of his ten fingers, the Rune danced like a flower with flying spirit leaves. In the blink of an eye, a luxurious and resplendent silver water chestnut shield appeared in front of Li Chong.

"Thump!"

The huge explosion exploded, and the fire python solidly hit the crystal shield. It released a scorching wave of Qi in all directions, and fireballs of all sizes flew all over the sky …

The impact of this strike directly shattered the water chestnut in front of Li Chong, causing it to fly backwards.

Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

"Like I said, the gap between two levels is not that easy to make up for."

"Ma He has won!"

Having gained the upper hand with a single blow, Ma He's face revealed an excited and vicious smile.

"Hey, are you ready to turn into ashes?"

"Hua!"

An even thicker Spiritual Yi Strength surged out, and all kinds of bright and beautiful Rune appeared and flickered around Ma He's body.

Following that, with Li Chong as the center, a wall of fire dozens of meters wide was formed from all directions. At the same time, the fireballs, which were of all sizes, condensed into a hundred meter tall flame dragon …

The fire dragon coiled around Li Chong, completely sealing off all escape routes.

Following that, the dragon's mouth opened, and pounced towards Li Chong who was in the 'urns'.

"Such powerful strength!"

"The battle at the Rune Arts is just that quick."

The scorching flames illuminated the faces of everyone outside the arena, causing them to turn completely red. Just as everyone thought that Li Chong would undoubtedly lose, Ma He's complexion suddenly changed greatly.

"What?"

"Buzz buzz!"

At some point, a layer of halo had appeared under Ma He's feet, and the Spiritual Yi Strength Qi this halo of light was emitting was clearly not his.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, the rings of light under Ma He's feet overlapped one another, forming a bizarre circular column …

Ma He was directly sealed within the pillar.

"This?"

Ma He's eyes were wide open and he was shocked to find that all the Spiritual Yi Strength that were connected to the outside world had been cut off, and even his four limbs had been imprisoned.

Bang.

At almost the same time, the giant flame dragon surrounding Li Chong suddenly collapsed, and the vast heat wave was instantly pushed back. "Swish", an Arrow condensed from Spiritual Yi Strength burst out, piercing through the wind and waves of flames as it charged towards Ma He.

The latter's face was ghastly pale and filled with fear.

"Hiss!"

The Spiritual Yi Strength s were like meteors streaking across the horizon, forcefully passing through the light pillar imprisoning Ma He and piercing into his chest.

A stream of blood flew through the air. Ma He followed it and was sent flying, crashing into the ground.

The entire audience was silent, feeling extremely surprised.

"What's going on?"

"When did Li Chong set up 'Confining Talisman Array'?"

"I don't know. That's too strange!"

From the very beginning, Ma He had taken the initiative to suppress him. In such a short period of time, besides a Shield defense, it was basically impossible for Li Chong to complete the Imprisoning Technique.

Everyone was filled with doubts.

"You!" Ma He, who was on the ground, stared angrily at Li Chong who was walking out from the flames. "You, you had already set up the Imprisoning Technique before the competition started!"2

Before the match?

"Hua!"

His words woke the people in their dreams, and everyone was once again stunned.

Li Chong's expression did not contain the light pickiness from before, what replaced it was profoundness and haughtiness. He replied indifferently, "To Pattern Master, the competition has already begun when we arrived here."
