Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 76 Ch 76: Second Round Of The Competition

Ye Xiao opened the lid of the cauldron and looked inside it. There was four round white coloured pill inside which was emitting a very profound aroma.

He took out the four pills and continued to stare at it as these four Body Tempering Pills were his first pills that he refined. After that he stored it into the pill bottle and continued to refine the next batch of pills.

After his first success, Ye Xiao successfully refined all remaining sixteen sets of medicinal herbs and every time he refined four pills per set, a total of 64 pills and adding the previous four pills, he successfully refined 68 pills.

During the process of refining the pills, he didn't rest even for a few breaths of time. So, now he was very tired.

.....

Ye Xiao once again appeared in his room inside the inn. He immediately went to sleep the moment he appeared in his room. He slept soundly and when he woke up again it was already the day of the second round of the competition.

He hurriedly washed himself and went to the place where the second round of the competition is going to be held. When Ye Xiao reached there, he saw that there were already many people present. There was a large arena build up in the centre and from the three directions surrounding it was thousands of stone seats which was build up like stairs, mainly for the local peoples to watch the competition.

On the front of the arena was also eight stone seats build up but what was the difference between this stone seats and the rest of stone seats was that these eight stone seats were build up like thrones.

And behind these eight stone throne like seats were tens of small seats.

Many participants were already present and many were still coming. A lots of peoples also came to watch the competition. When it was about time. Ye saw that from a certain direction, many twenty or so people were flying toward the direction of the arena.

Ye Xiao many familiar faces in these twenty peoples. There were seven faces which Ye Xiao recognised in them. Six of them were the representatives for the first round of the competition. And the last one that Ye Xiao was familiar with was his own master, Grandmaster Wang, who was walking in front with seven other old men.

These seven old men were wearing white robes but from the looks of it, one can easily tell that it was really very luxurious robes.

Grandmaster Wang and the seven other old men sit down on the eight throne like seats and the rest of eleven people sit down on the stone seats behind the throne like seats.

When they sit down, Grandmaster Wang saw Ye Xiao standing in the crowd of participants. Seeing him, Grandmaster Wang nodded his toward him and then busy himself in chatting with the seven old men.

Seeing these twenty people, the participants and the other people who came here to watch the show, stopped gossiping and looked toward them.

After the time it take for an incense stick to burn, a man stands up and walked to the centre of the arena. Then he said, "Now is the time to start the second round of the competition but before that let me introduce to some important figures."

That man started to introduce all the old men who were sitting on the throne like stone seats.

"Let us start from the left sides. First one is the sect leader of the Blue Cloud Sect. Second one is the sect leader of the Profound Sky Sect. Third One is the sect leader of the Heaven Sword Sect. Fourth one is the sect leader of the Red Moon Sect. Fifth one is the sect leader of the White Snow Sect. Sixth one is our king, King of the Azure Dragon Country, his majesty."

The moment he said that the sixth person sitting on the throne like stone seats from the left side is the king of the Azure Dragon Country. All the people present, including the participants, immediately bowed and shouted loudly 'long live the emperor'.

When the king saw this, he nodded his head in satisfaction and waved his hand. Immediately a gust of wind helped all the people to raise their heads. And the man who was introducing these mighty figures, continued to introduce the next person.

"Seventh person sitting there is the Formation Master whom our king and the sect leaders of the five great sects invited, Master Wu Yu. Everyone already knows that he was the one who build up those teleportation circle which eased up our travel."

"And the last but not the least, the eighth person is the only Grandmaster of Alchemy of our Azure Dragon Country, Grandmaster Wang. Many peoples here not know him because he does not like to come out in public. He came here, in our Azure Dragon Country ten years ago. And all the tier 4 and tier 5 medicinal pills of our country is refined by him. Our country can be consider a very lucky country as there is no Grandmaster of Alchemy present even in the many big country."

When the man introduced the Formation Master Wu Yu and the Grandmaster Wang, it caused a huge uproar in the crowd of people. All the peoples started discussing among themselves about the Grandmaster Wang and the Formation Master Wu Yu in a slow voice. But since there was thousands of people there, even though they were discussing in the slow voice, it caused a huge uproar.

When the crowd finally once again become silent, the man continued, "Now, I'm going to tell you about the rules of the second round of the competition. This round is also divided into two stages. In the first stage, there will be a battle royal. All three hundred participants will fight with each and every other participants at once and the last hundred participants standing on the arena will be qualified to enter in the next stage. And these one hundred participants needs not worry as after qualifying as a top hundred, these hundred participants will already have the right to enter the five great sects or they can enter into the Imperial Family and become the disciple of the Imperial Family. Well, the top hundred participants will be chose by the five great sects and the Imperial Family. They themselves would have no right to choose the sect they want to enter."

"Now, the top hundred participants will fight in the next stage of this round of the competition to choose the top ten and the champion. After qualifying as top ten, these ten participants will gain the right to choose where they want to enter and which sect's disciple they want to become. And the champion will directly become the inner disciple of that sect which he'll choose to enter."

"Now, let me tell you about the reward. Top hundred will be given a martial arts skill of Middle Grade Profound Rank. Well, they can choose the martial arts skill suitable for them of this grade from the sects where they'll enter. Top ten can choose a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill from the sect they'll enter and they will be given a tier 3 pill, the Profound Spirit Pill. Champion of the competition will have the same reward as the top ten but the difference between these two rewards is that the champion will become an inner sect disciple while the other top ten and top hundred will become the outer sect disciples."

The moment that man finished telling about the rules and rewards of the competition, it once again caused a huge uproar. But this time the crowd of people were making less noise while the three hundred participants were making the most of the noise.

They were making these noises mainly because of the rewards. Middle Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill was already enough to cause many people to fight to death. But the top ten were actually getting a chance to choose a High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill.

Except for the five great sects and the Imperial Family, in the entire Azure Dragon Country, the High Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill was the highest level of martial arts skill. How can it not cause such a uproar if they'll get such a martial arts skill just by getting in the top ten.

There were also top hundred who were getting a Middle Grade Profound Rank martial arts skill which was only a single level below from the High Grade Profound Rank. It can be already consider a very high level of reward.

And there was also the Profound Spirit Pill. It was a tier 3 pill which can make the Origin Core Realm martial artist to directly breakthrough to the next stage of the Origin Core Realm without causing any damage to the foundation.
