C2487 Sick!
Time slowly passed and the second round of the match slowly came to an end amidst the clamoring crowd.
After a round of slaughter, half were promoted and the other half were eliminated.
There were only less than a hundred competitors left. Most of them were strong people.
Of course, they did not need this in the first place. The reason why the organizers had done this was to prevent some of the stronger individuals from having a strong battle ahead of time. This would allow some of the stronger individuals to advance, allowing some of the stronger individuals to be eliminated.
And thus, in the third round, those that were somewhat famous and strong, but not strong enough, would inevitably fight each other. In the third round, those that were famous and strong enough, but not strong enough, would inevitably fight each other.
If nothing unexpected happened, Gong Qianye and Gong Qianye would probably be allocated to the most powerful opponents in this round.
The purpose of this was naturally to allow those with great strength to advance quickly, and for those like them whose strength was not enough, to stop in their tracks.
"The Emperor of heaven's pride selection round. The second round of the competition is over. Rest for half an incense stick of time. After that, there will be the third and final round of the competition!"
The robust middle-aged man in the middle of the plaza spoke with a voice that contained Spiritual Energy that resounded out above the arena like thunder.
The selection for the Emperor of geniuses officially began this morning. It was already half an afternoon, and judging from the time, even if it was late at night, it would still be evening by the end of the third round.
The matches after that would obviously continue tomorrow.
"It truly isn't easy. Little brother Piercing Wind, big sister Thousandleaf, the two of you have already advanced to the third round. It's not a waste of your time to participate in the selection."
Lei Suyi spoke with a smile on her face among the crowd.
"That's right, especially young master Yang who is only twenty years old. For him to be able to obtain such a result while participating in the Heaven's Pride Emperor Selection for the first time is truly amazing." Gou Yue said with a smile.
"Indeed, for Yang Brother to achieve such a result for the first time in the competition, it is already very impressive. Work hard, next time, you might even be able to make it into the top ten!" Zhuge Li said with a smile.
"Listen to what you're saying. Why do I feel like the meaning behind your words is that I will be eliminated in the next round?" Yang Liefeng asked somewhat gloomily after hearing this.
"No, we didn't mean that." Lei Suyi. When Gou Yue heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled awkwardly.
Zhuge Li smiled and said, "Right, we didn't mean that. Yang Brother, you better not be worried."
"In the third round, Yang Brother and Miss Gong will definitely be allocated to the most powerful people. I'm afraid they will really have to stop for this round."
The shy and quiet Nangong Ling said.
Then, she added, "Of course, I'm afraid that I'll have to stop in this round as well."
"Why are you thinking so much? Whatever you should be doing is whatever you should be doing. When the time comes, you have to try your best. If you win, you can continue. If you lose, you can watch." Cai Zongxiang said.
"That's right." Gong Qianye said.
Clang!
The moment Gong Qianye had finished speaking, a light bell sound resounded and the spectators instantly went silent. Everyone's gaze gathered on the robust middle-aged man standing in the center of the plaza.
The robust middle-aged man immediately said in an incomparably loud and clear voice, "Time is up. Next up, we will proceed to the Heaven's Pride Emperor Selection Competition. The third round, you will advance to the next round. Please look at the Image Stone!"
Just as the robust middle-aged man finished speaking, names began to appear on the giant imaging stone behind the robust middle-aged man.
These names were all the names of the contestants for the third round. There were still two names on the list, one name in the box, and there was a number at the front of the box.
As the number of contestants decreased, it was much easier for contestants to find their own names.
Very quickly, Yang Liefeng, Gong Qianye, and Nan Gong Ling found their names, found the arena they were in, and found their opponents!
The arena Yang Liefeng was on this time was arena forty-four, and the opponent's name was Qin Lianggui.
The arena Gong Qianye was on this time was arena sixteen, and his opponent's name was called Liu Yingshui.
This time, Nangong Ling was participating in the 17th arena. Her opponent's name was He Qing.
"I knew that my opponent this time would be very strong!" Nangong Ling's face sunk as she said gloomily.
Zhuge Li lightly patted Nangong Lingxiang's shoulder and said, "Junior Sister, there is no need to be discouraged. Just try your best."
"It's a little strange. Little brother Piercing Wind's opponent could not be considered as the top genius of the large forces. Sister Thousandleaf's opponent, Liu Yingshui is actually the number one powerhouse of the Thousand Charm Sect in the Central Region!" Lei Suyi felt it was strange and said.
Because under normal circumstances, for this round, an ordinary participant like Yang Liefeng, who was unknown, should be facing the most elite of the first-rate powers in the Central Region!
In the end, it turned out to be a contestant whose background wasn't too strong, and whose reputation wasn't too high either.
"Yeah, this is really strange."
Hearing Lei Suyi's words, Zhuge Li and Nangong Ling also felt that it was rather strange.
"That kid, how come he isn't the pride of a first-rate faction?"
Gong Ruqin frowned, looking at the name of Yang Liefeng's opponent on the stone, she asked in confusion.
Zhao Qiang also felt it was strange and said, "Yeah, this is really strange!"
It was really unusual for Yang Liefeng's opponent to not be one of the top geniuses. If it wasn't for the majority of the spectators' gazes falling on the top geniuses, this matter, at this moment, would probably have been enough to cause the observing crowd to boil.
"How did I find a person with a strange name?"
Qin Shigui also carried Yang Liefeng's name and felt extremely astonished.
He had thought that his opponent would be someone with a similar background and fame to him, and it wasn't that he didn't have any impression of such a person. After all, although they were comparable to the top geniuses of the top forces, just them alone were outstanding existences within the Martial King s of the Central Region.
"Yes, it's really strange. To think that Senior Brother Qin would match up with a name I've never heard of!"
"Indeed, this is too strange."
"..."
Qin Lianggui's fellow sect members and some of his fans all felt strange as they discussed with each other.
"This is good news. In this case, Brother Qin's promotion is guaranteed!" A shrewd looking youth said with a smile.
"Right, right. This is good news!"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Qin!"
"..."
As the shrewd youth's voice rang out, all of Qin Lianggui's fellow disciples congratulated him.
When Qin Liangui heard this, a happy expression emerged on his face. If he was able to safely advance again, it would naturally be a beautiful thing.
"From what I see, the organizers probably think that the gap between Senior Brother Qin and the top geniuses of the big sects is not big, so, just like them, they gave Senior Brother Qin a rookie."
The astute youth said with a smile after his eyes rapidly rotated.
"Right, right, that must be it!"
"That's right. This time, Brother Qin will definitely rise to prominence!"
"If the organizers look favorably on him, perhaps a top sect will offer him an olive branch this time."
"Haha, you're right. We congratulated Brother Qin in advance."
"..."
When the Others beside Qin Xian Gui heard the words of the smart youth, they immediately laughed and said.
After hearing this, the smile on Qin Lianggui's face became even wider. He felt as if his heart was floating. He had already started imagining that the top sects would throw him an olive branch and wondered which sect he would choose to join.
In the end, after thinking about it, Qin Lianggui decided to reluctantly join the Cloud Sea Sect.
"It's about time. Everyone should have finished looking. Next, please hurry up and enter the stage!"
The booming voice rang out once more, jolting Qin Lianggui out of his reverie.
Immediately, he hurriedly walked towards the arena with a smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth.
Yang Liefeng, Gong Qianye, and Nangong Ling, along with the rest of the participants, left the competition grounds and headed towards the competition grounds.
Nangong Ling came to the stage and looked at her opponent He Qing. She smiled bitterly and said: "I did not expect He Qing to be like you. This time, I will not be able to advance."
"It's good that you know this. Actually, with your strength, no matter who you match up with, you won't be able to advance any further." He Qing looked delicate and pretty. Between his brows, he was full of pride.
Hearing this, Nangong Ling's face turned even more ugly. She was very unhappy, she was very respectful to He Qing, but she did not expect him to insult her, he was really despicable!
"This He Qing is so hateful. When the opportunity comes, I will teach him a lesson!" Zhuge Li, who was paying attention to Nangong Ling, immediately became angry when he saw his beloved junior sister being humiliated by He Qing.
With his strength as a 1-star Martial Ancestor, taking care of He Qing wouldn't be a problem for him. However, he needed an opportunity to do so. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to take care of He Qing.
This was because He Qing was the number one disciple in the Sky Clear Palace, Sky Clear Palace would protect him.
When Gong Qianye came to the arena, he immediately saw the number one disciple of the Thousand Charm Sect's Martial King, Liu Yingshui. Liu Yingshui was extremely beautiful, with a tall stature and long hair.
Gong Qianye was extremely beautiful, with an impressive stature. She gave off a very beautiful vibe, and after she and Liu Yingshui went up on stage, it immediately created a huge uproar within the spectating crowd.
"Wow, that Gong Qianye is actually so beautiful!"
"Yeah, he didn't turn into a green leaf when he was on the same stage as Liu Yingshui!"
"That's right, her beauty isn't beneath Liu Yingshui's. She's a beauty of the same level with a different style!"
"You're right, from now on, I want Pink Gong Qianye. From now on, she is my Goddess, Thousandleaf!"
"I want to fan her too. She's the one I like!"
"..."
As the number one Martial King of the Thousand Meet School, Liu Yingshui was extremely popular. One could imagine how many people were paying attention to her, and as long as there were people paying attention to her, there would be many paying attention to Gong Qianye.
When they saw that Gong Qianye had a beauty that was not inferior to Liu Yingshui, with an extraordinary temperament and a different style, they immediately attracted a large number of spectators, some of whom directly became her fans.
In just a short span of a breath, Gong Qianye's fans had already surpassed Qin Liangui's fans, and this was because there were still many spectators, whose gazes were fixated on the top geniuses, and did not notice Gong Qianye. Otherwise, Gong Qianye's fans would have definitely exploded!
"Beautiful indeed. What a pity, it's a vase!"
"This, this can't be said to be a flower vase right? After all, he has also killed his way to the third round."
"So what? Compared to Goddess Liu Yingshui, she's just a vase. You should know what it means by matching her to Goddess Liu Yingshui in the third round, right?"0
"That's true. What a pity, she looks especially beautiful and her strength has yet to catch up with her. She's called a goddess, and yet she's still barely making it!"
"Who knows, but girls with looks and strength are hard to come by."
"..."
Following that sigh, a wave of discussion sounded out once again among the spectators who were looking at Gong Qianye, and within the discussion, there were many voices filled with regret.
Tsk tsk, you really are a great beauty, it's just that, unfortunately, your strength is still a little lacking, however, to be able to kill three rounds, you cannot say that it is too much trash, if you are willing, I can bring you into the Thousand Charm Sect, are you willing? Liu Ying Shui looked at Gong Qianye's pretty face and sighed, then spoke with regret.
"I'm not weak at all. Isn't it a bit too early for you to say something like that now?"
Gong Qianye said coldly.
"You're still an icy beauty with a temper. I like it. Join the Thousand Charm Sect, I'm willing to be your woman." Liu Yingshui's expression was extremely enchanting, he licked his lips and said to Gong Qianye.
"Wow!"
As Liu Yingshui's words rang out, it was as if a giant Essence Qi Bullet had been tossed into the crowd of spectators, instantly causing an earth-shattering wave.
"Oh my god, what did I hear!"
"Why is Goddess Liu willing to be the woman in the vase? Ah, my young lady's heart is broken!"
"Goddess Liu, why are you so heartless? Are you trying to destroy my burning heart?"
"..."
"Damn, Sister Thousandleaf is too charming!" When Lei Suyi saw that Gong Qianye had actually lured Liu Yingshui over, she did not care about her gender and was willing to be her woman, she said in shock.
"Yeah, he's too strong!" Gou Yue also said with admiration.
Beneath the stage, a wail and cry filled the air, but under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, Gong Qianye coldly said: "There's something wrong!"
