C2136 The New Rules of the Competition
When the imposter and his companions left, Ye Hongtian no longer hid his presence and took a detour back to the martial arts field.
Nobody knew what the imposter had said at the martial arts field, but everyone calmed down and stopped talking about what had just happened.
Lan Mi had not returned yet, and the young man was nowhere to be seen. Only the strong man was left here.
As the compass was damaged and there was no place suitable for them to fight, the City Lord of the Dark City had changed the way of the competition.
The team battle was changed to a one-on-one battle between the candidates. However, the team members could launch long-range attacks from outside the battlefield. This was the training ground.
The training field here was not very big, so with the cultivation of these people, no matter where they stood, they could attack the candidates inside the training field.
This rule could be said to be very novel, but it gave Ye Hong Tian a headache. He did not have that much true essence to release long-range attacks!
If he could use sword qi attacks purely with sword skills, then the power would be greatly reduced. If he really fought then Lan Mi would think that he was slacking off again.
"Can't you change the rules of battle?" Ye Hong Tian asked the fake.
When he asked this question, everyone in the training field looked over. They seemed to be very satisfied with the rules of the battle and wanted to tell Ye Hongtian to shut up.
The minority obeyed the majority. Ye Hongtian was helpless and didn't say anything else. He could only wait for Lan Mi to come back and explain it to Lan Mi.
Walking to the strong man's side, Ye Hongtian felt the strong man's gaze on him. He turned his head and saw the strong man looking at him in surprise.
"Is there some kind of restriction when you use martial skills?" The strong man asked.
Ye Hong Tian revealed a surprised expression when he heard that. He did not expect the strong man to actually see through his difficulties. He hurriedly nodded his head to show that he was right.
Seeing Ye Hongtian nod to confirm, the strong man thought for a while and frowned. He said, "Previously, I saw that you rarely used martial skills when fighting with those martial artists. I can see that the martial skills you used were very powerful. What kind of restriction is it that restricts you? True essence reserves? Or is it a special restriction on martial skills?"
" To tell you the truth, my constitution is special, although I have the cultivation of semi-sage realm. However, I estimate that my true essence reserves are only as much as that of an ordinary martial artist who has just stepped into the mirror of true essence. Moreover, I don't have a dantian. My true essence is only scattered in every part of my body. "
Ye Hong Tian followed the strong man's words and fabricated a lie, saying the same thing as the truth. As for the strong man, he also believed it. With a face full of disbelief, he grabbed Ye Hong Tian's arm and probed his body with his perception.
Because Ye Hong Tian had already completed the integration of his three dantians and formed a rare internal space, it was impossible to find a dantian in his body. Most of the true essence was in the internal space, and only a small part of it was in his body.
The strong man could now feel a small part of true essence. It was truly a pitiful amount, and not only did the strong man look at Ye Hong Tian with a pitiful look, but he also looked at Ye Hong Tian with pity.
"I never thought that you would be able to reach such strength with just a tiny bit of true essence. I really admire you. I will explain this matter to the Elders. In the following matches, you don't need to force yourself to use martial skills."
After comforting Ye Hong Tian, the strong man turned around and left, saying that he was going to find Lan Mi.
After the strong man left, Ye Hong Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He didn't think that the matter of him not being able to casually release his martial skills would be resolved just like that.
While the strong man was looking for Lan Mi, Ye Hong Tian once again checked the suppression of the strange green flame within his body.
This time, he inexplicably felt that the power of the green deviant fire had become a little weaker. However, this weakening could almost be ignored, so he did not think too much about it.
By the time he finished checking and opened his eyes, Lan Mi and the muscular man had already returned. The young man hadn't returned yet, but an extremely feminine looking man had appeared beside Lan Mi. It seemed that this person had replaced the young man, and what had happened to the young man? One could imagine.
"This is the interesting fellow you mentioned? He looks very ordinary. Why did you hire a semi-sage expert to help you fight for the position of the Dark City's City Lord? " The feminine man looked at Ye Hong Tian and asked Lan Mi.
Lan Mi replied with a smile: "This guy has some ability. He can jump ranks to deal with an expert of the intermediate stage of the semi-sage realm. Moreover, I heard from my attendant that he seems to be using his physical body to fight. The Real Elemental Energy in his body is pitifully small. He can't use martial techniques at will. The following matches will depend on you. "
"Heh, I have a ranking on the Saint Ranking, so why am I still worried about my work? When you fight with those candidates later, all you need to do is hide. Watch me blast them all into pieces!"
As he spoke, the feminine man gripped the jade pendant hanging on his neck. The word 'Sage' was written on the jade pendant, and it seemed to be used to represent his status on the Sage Ranking.
Ye Hong Tian stared at the jade pendant hanging on the feminine man's neck. When the feminine man let go of the jade pendant, the jade pendant was flipped over. The word "Lan Chu" was engraved on it, which seemed to be the name of the feminine man.
Lan Mi and Lan Chu had a short conversation, and then the competition for the City Lord started. They were the first to go in the first round, and the opponent was the team closest to them.2
The crowd quickly retreated to the edge of the training field to watch the battle. Lan Mi and another candidate stayed in the center of the training field. Ye Hongtian and the others flew into the air.
"The Heavenly Fire Family?" Lan Mi asked his opponent.
His opponent didn't answer. Instead, he took out a long spear from his Cosmos Sack and pointed it at Lan Mi, as if to tell him that Lan Mi could start a fight at any time.
Lan Mi didn't delay. With a light laugh, he rushed towards his opponent. The Wind Laws were extremely flexible, and he even used a weapon that he hadn't used in the previous matches. It was a group of flying sabers.
With the combination of the Wind Laws, there were a total of forty flying sabers in the air that continuously attacked his opponent. It could be said that they didn't give him the slightest chance to breathe.
And just as he was completely suppressing his opponent, the spear-wielding martial artist opened his mouth. A large ball of fire spewed out from his mouth. The Wind Laws actually increased the intensity of the fire. In an instant, the tide of the battle reversed. That flame was the golden-red flame that only the Heavenly Fire Family had. It confirmed that he was a member of the Skyfire clan.
At this time, the strong man used a martial skill to release a cow-like demon beast condensed from nether true essence, rushing towards the spear-wielding martial artist. It forced the spear-wielding martial artist to retreat, giving the blue flame tornado time to disperse.
Then, Lan Chu moved. He stretched out his hand, and a mass of faint purple smoke condensed in his hand. The smoke seemed to be changing, and he threw it at the spear-wielding martial artist with all his strength.
This attack was very fast. The faint purple smoke arrived in front of the spear-wielding martial artist in an instant, startling the spear-wielding martial artist.
