Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 77 Ch 77: The Battle Royal

A pill like the Profound Spirit Pill was very rare to come by which can help a martial artist of the Origin Core Realm to directly raise their cultivation by one level without causing any damage to the foundation.

All in all, these rewards were something nobody would have even imagine to get.

This reminded Ye Xiao once again that something was off. Zhao Yufei once told him that their was a certain reason for this competition. But what was this reason, Ye Xiao didn't know and Zhao Yufei also didn't told him.

Ye Xiao knew that something was fishy here but even so he decided to take part in it because one, he wanted to enter a certain sect which can help him to become more powerful in a short amount of time and second, he once again wanted to meet Zhao Yufei. The reason of wanting to meet Zhao Yufei, he himself was not clear why.

And third, he just wanted to know what was the reason behind this competition.

The man who was standing on the big circular alter once again started to talk, "Now that everyone heard about the rules and rewards. This is the time to begin the second round of the competition."

He then flew up in the sky and said, "Now all three hundred participants, please enter the arena."

When the participants heard this, they all started to walk toward the arena. A few breaths later, all the participants were standing on the arena. Ye Xiao was also standing in the middle of the arena while keeping a very low profile. He looked around and saw many genius martial artists standing a few meter away from him like Xu Qing, Lu Li and others. He also saw Lin Hao standing on the arena on his left side. No one dared to go near him and Ye Xiao felt like the vibe that Lin Hao gives him was now many times stronger than before.

He thought for a while and then as if he thought of something, he looked at Lin Hao with a surprised expression on his face.

He... He brokethrough to the Origin Core Realm.

In these few days, Lin Hao again breakthrough and now he is already a martial artist at the Origin Core Realm.

Lin Hao also felt that someone was staring at him. He turned around a little and saw Ye Xiao looking at him with a shocked face. He immediately understood that Ye Xiao already knew he had become an Origin Core Realm martial artist. He smiled at Ye Xiao and suddenly he also looked at Ye Xiao with a stupefied expression.

He still remembered clearly that when he first met with Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao was only at the Fifth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm and now a few days later he levelled up by two stages, becoming a martial artist at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. This speed of breakthrough was something he never saw on others except for himself. After all he himself, in just a few years becomes a martial artist of the Origin Core Realm from being a zero.

Ye Xiao and Lin Hao, they both looked at each other with a surprised expression on their face.

At this moment, Xu Qing also turned around and saw Lin Hao looking at someone with a stupefied face. When he followed Lin Hao gaze, he saw Ye Xiao looking back at Lin Hao with the same expression. He felt confused thinking about what was going on but he failed to think of a reason so, he just threw this matter to the back of his head and went to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao also came back to his sense at this time and saw Xu Qing coming.

Xu Qing stopped in front of him and said with a serious face, " Lin Hao, this time I will definitely win this competition become the champion."

Lin Hao only smiled slightly at him and didn't say anything. Maybe Xu Qing was already used to it so he didn't get angry or felt annoyed when Lin Hao didn't replied him.

"Who is this kid?" Xu Qing again asked.

"His name is Ye Xiao and don't underestimate him. He is very powerful. Maybe, in this competition, he'll get the third place or maybe second place." Lin Hao smiled and said.

"Oh! really." Xu Qing again looked at Ye Xiao deeply and said, "He is only at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. How can he get the second place in this competition. You are overestimating him."

"You'll see." Lin Hao didn't say much and then he closed his eyes while standing on the alter. It looked like as if he felt asleep but even so no one dared to go near him. Xu Qing again looked at Ye Xiao deeply and then he sat down on the alter and closed his eyes.

Ye Xiao was only watching these two the entire time. He didn't know what they were talking previously but he knew that these two definitely talked about him as Xu Qing stared at him two or three times while talking with Lin Hao.

At this moment, the voice of that man again sounded from the air, "Now that every participants is on the alter then let the first stage of the second round of the competition begin."

"Let the Battle Royal begin."

The moment he finished speaking, all the participants started to fight on the arena. Immediately, as if a chaos erupted on the arena. No matter who it was, everyone was fighting and trying to eliminate as much participants as they could so that there will be a chance for them to stand on the arena till there are only a hundred participants left.

At first, all the participants tried to eliminate those who were at standing at the border of the arena and after eliminating them, they started to look for the participants with weak cultivation than them.

After the time it took for two incense stick to burn, there were only a hundred and sixty something participants were left on the arena. In just this short amount of time, almost half of the participants were eliminated.

Now, whoever was still standing on the arena were all strong ones. Weakest of them were participants with the cultivation level at the Sixth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

For a moment, it looked like as if there was only peace on the arena. All the participants remain silent, looking at each other, thinking of what to do next.

"Let's fight a great battle. Maybe even if we fail here, we can enter in the eyes of any elder of the five great sects or the elder of the Imperial Family. This can also become our road to enter these great places."

"Yes, you are right. What are we waiting for. Let's fight."

No one knows who initiated but once a young man started to speak then the resumed battle once again began. Everyone was fighting with others. Ye Xiao was no exception. Anyway, no one here knew him. Why would they give him face and not fight with him.

Only the widely known geniuses like Feng Lin and Lu Li were facing one or two opponent at a time. Obviously no one wanted to offend them. Only those who believed themselves to be stronger than these geniuses went to fight with them.

But still, there were two figures who were not fighting. Or the correct words would be, no one dared to fight with them. One of them were sitting on the arena with his eyes closed and the other figure was standing on the arena with his eyes closed. These two figures were Xu Qing and Lim Hao.

These two were known as the most talented geniuses of the entire Azure Dragon Country.

Even though Xu Qing was already about to turn seventeen, he was already at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm and his fighting prowess was also very strong. He can even win against a martial artist at the First Stage of the Origin Core Realm.

No one dared to look for trouble with these two geniuses and these two were also behaving as if nothing was going on here.

All of the participants were fighting very intensely. Ye Xiao also sometime faced with many participants at once. And at that time, he fought with all he got and finally managed stay standing on the arena.

Finally there were only hundred participants left on the arena including Ye Xiao, Feng Lin, Lu Li, Xu Qing and Lin Hao.

At this time, the previous man again flew on the arena and said, "Congratulations all of you for obtaining a place in the top hundred. Now you all are qualified to become the disciple of the five great sects and the Imperial Family. Now rest for one day. Next day will be the final day of the competition."
