C557 Merit Points
Lu Chen smiled without saying a word as he heard the loud noise behind him.
Top 20?
His goal had never been to get into the top 20. Since he had come, then he naturally had to fight for the number one position. Moreover, as long as he obtained first place, he would definitely be able to stay in the Imperial City with Dagan Academic Palace.
If he wanted to save his mother Yin Susu, with his identity as someone on the Dagan Academic Palace level, it would more or less be of some help.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Lu Chen, right?"
A figure appeared in front of Lu Chen. It was a tall young man. His eyes were sharp like a knife and his body was surging with fighting spirit. He was like a hunter looking at his prey, full of expectation.
"My name is Yao Jie."
"You are very strong. I really look forward to fighting with you."
After staring at Lu Chen for a moment, Yao Jie grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth.
"You are very strong as well."
"It's very suitable to be my opponent."
That day, he had seen Yao Jie in the Auction. When they looked at each other at such a close distance, he realized that this young man was perhaps even more outstanding than he had imagined, even though he had hidden it well, but deep within his body, there seemed to be an extremely dangerous aura that came from nowhere. It was as if a primordial giant beast was hibernating inside Yao Jie's body.
"Ha ha!"
"It really has a seed."
"No wonder Jiang Zichu's teeth are itching from your anger. I really look forward to you continuing on your path. When the time comes, I will have a good fight with you."
Yao Jie laughed and walked towards the arena.
"He's not a simple young man."
Lu Chen smiled and went straight back to his seat.
The sky gradually darkened, but a bonfire was lit in the hall, illuminating the entire ring.
This time, no matter if it was the spectators or the participants, they were all extremely powerful warriors, so naturally, they did not need to take as much time to rest as the ordinary people. Furthermore, at this moment, when Hundred Sects Meeting was at its most intense, the top twenty, including Lu Chen, appeared one by one.
"Everyone, after a series of selections, the names of the top 20 have been announced."
"In order to guarantee fairness and fairness of this Hundred Sects Meeting, it's up to you participants to decide whether or not you want to participate in the final semifinals."
"But there is one thing to remind everyone, in order to motivate everyone, Third Prince made a decision. All young warriors that can enter the top ten will be able to enter the royal clan's reward points, and the higher the rank, the more reward points they will get."
The old man in charge of the large meeting glanced at Third Prince and Yin Zhi. After receiving the latter's signal, he reminded Third Prince in a low voice.
"Merit points?" What is that? "
"I don't know."
"Never heard of it."
As the old man's voice faded, many people began to discuss among themselves.
"Merit points?"
"What is this?" Xie Wantian and the rest looked confused.
"These merit points are great stuff."
"To be able to exchange for precious treasures of the imperial clan in the Imperial City's station, and if one's contribution points are sufficient, it is possible to go to the treasury in the depths of the Imperial Palace to choose a peerless treasure."
"The treasures of the imperial family. Those are true treasures!"
Seemingly able to see the doubt in Xie Wantian and the others' eyes, the Heavenly Star Sect's old Sect Master smiled as he explained.
"So that's how it is."
Xie Wantian noticed that while this old Sect Master from the Heavenly Star Sect was talking, his eyes had a touch of Colour Of Hot. It seemed like the usage of these achievement points was much more precious than he had imagined.
Lu Chen did not probe further to find out what these achievement points were, but to be able to get royal clan Third Prince to open his mouth, it was definitely a pretty good benefit, but to him, whether he had these achievement points or not, was already good.
As an existence on the level of Previous Martial Emperor, it was either not competing or fighting for the strongest championship.
The old man's voice dropped for a long time, but none of the twenty young warriors who were left on the stage had any intention of leaving. Those who were able to make it to this step, were all outstanding Genius Martial Cultivator, none of them were willing to concede to others, how could they so easily withdraw?
"Very good."
"Next up, let's continue with the competition. Those who call out their names, go directly to the arena and begin." The old man nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Flowing Sand Sect, Qian Fu."
"Lu Family, Lu Qiaoer."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, two silhouettes walked up to the arena. One of them was Lu Qiaoer, whom Lu Chen had noticed earlier.
"It's her?"
Lu Chen's brows twitched. If there were no surprises, then this Lu Qiaoer should be his cousin. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also extremely powerful. Even though she was a woman, she was still a strong opponent from the beginning.
However, this time around, her opponent seemed to be quite strong.
In front of Lu Qiaoer was a plump youth. He narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He looked rather friendly.
However, Lu Chen had noticed earlier that this fatty was not a simple person. He appeared to be smiling on the outside, but his attacks were extremely vicious. As long as he defeated an opponent, they would either be seriously injured or die.
Moreover, to be able to come this far proved that this fatty's strength was similarly outstanding. If Lu Qiaoer wanted to defeat him, it wouldn't be so simple.
"Being able to exchange blows with the big miss of Lu Family is truly my honor."
"I hope Miss Lu will show mercy later."
Qian Fu said with a smile and a humble tone.
"I've long heard that the Quicksand Sect's cultivation method is unrivalled."
"It is truly an honor for Qiao'er to be able to receive it today."
Lu Qiaoer nodded her head with a rare serious look on her face. Although the other party was speaking humbly, she was not a fool. She could feel an extremely strong pressure from him. If she was even a little bit careless, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Miss Lu is too polite."
"Bam!"
Suddenly, Qian Fu strode forward and appeared in front of Lu Qiaoer. His fingers were as sharp as an eagle's claw as he viciously swiped at the latter's snow-white neck.
He was still clasping his fists and bowing one second and attacking viciously and mercilessly the next. This sudden change stunned Lu Qiaoer at first, but she immediately reacted.
"Despicable!"2
Lu Qiaoer snorted angrily as she stretched out her fair, jade-like palm, clashing with the other party's claw.
"Bam!"
Although her reaction speed was fast, her opponent had gathered his strength while Lu Qiaoer had hastily dealt with her. In a single exchange, she was directly pushed back seven or eight steps.
"Hu!"
Before Lu Qiaoer could react, a sharp whistling sound could be heard, and the sharp claws had already struck again.
At this moment, Qian Fu's chubby body had become extremely nimble. His two hook-like claws were abnormally fierce and his attacks were like an unending torrential storm. Every strike had the terrifying power to break through the mountain rocks.
