Chapter 456: Never Underestimate Tang Yu
There were many entry slots in the advanced tournament, two thousand, while those qualified to participate were few.
It was the opposite of the previous situation where tens of millions or hundreds of thousands of hunters were competing for hundreds of spots.
Tang Yu thought if there were not enough hunters above the 10th level in the East 8 section of the Holy Land to make up 2,000, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
‘I won’t even have an enemy by then!’
……
The countdown of the start of the advanced stage was gradually approaching its end.
An invisible force descended and covered him, Tang Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he tried to break free, but nothing moved …… The next moment, he appeared thousands of meters in the air, with a translucent orange light curtain beneath his feet, through which he saw countless hunters on the ground, stretching their necks and standing tall.
The light curtain was constructing a square battlespace, but it seemed to be stuck for a while.
No closed space was formed, and no signal of the beginning of the battle surfaced in his mind.
‘It can’t be ……?’
At this time, Tang Yu received a new message, “According to the number of participants in the advanced tournament, a certain degree of rule adjustment has been made to cancel the resurrection qualification, each person was to participate in five games of sparring, ranked by the number of games won, the first two thousand people can get access to the quota, if there are the same number of wins, the shorter time to win, is superior.
He swept his gaze over the sparse human figures on the light screen.
There should be a few thousand people, no more than ten thousand at most, that represented the highest end of battle power on Earth at the moment.
It was so much more than he had expected, actually.
“In the advanced division, it would be impossible for Tree Shade to take up most of the spots anymore. After all, there are only so many people who participate.”
A month or so ago, the official Hunter of the Tree Shade, in addition to the crowd of followers, there has not been anyone who managed to break through to the awakening of the tenth.
And now, among the official hunters, Lu Xiaopeng, Peng Bo, Ma Jiafeng, Lan Qingya, Ji Ming, Xia Wanru, Cai Jiajia, Sun-Yu, and a few others, have broken through the bottleneck.
Thirty or so people.
There were many hunters in the Northern Court who were stuck in the ninth-level bottleneck. Those who were well qualified and had a deep sense of martial arts were more likely to breakthrough, but it was not absolute.
Some people hold it for a long time and still can’t breakthrough. Others, however, only needed to let out a fart, take a sh*t, and bang to break the bottleneck.
Tang Yu saw the awakened people of the Northern Court.
Most of them wore combat uniforms with patterns of Zhu Long, Qing Long, and Ying Long, but there were also a few other sectors and ordinary Hunter- Tang Yu saw an ordinary hunter from the Northern Court who wore combat uniforms produced by Tree Shade, standing among a group of experts from the Northern Court, with a very different style and distinctive.
The Ancestral Dragon Legion of the Northern Court should be the largest cluster of people in the Advanced Tournament.
And the Hunter who wore Tree Shade combat uniforms were scattered and added up to quite a few.
In addition, Tang Yu also saw some people wearing strange costumes, some with long hair tied into braids and wearing costumes like a horse coat; others wore spiked round hats longer than their faces and had long beards ……
Others wore forehead ornaments, masks; some even had their aura burst out without reservation, like a red sun, pressing the Hunter near him to stay away.
The hunters of the fourth era!
Just the ones he saw, there were two or three hundred of them, and Tang Yu believed that there were more who were wearing similar costumes to them and hiding.
Perhaps some of them have already reached a transcendent level!
……
After loading for a while, a wall of light curtains rose in the distance, and the battlespace finally took shape.
Tang Yu looked across at an, um, unrecognizable hunter. The man was stout, with two large axes over a meter long, held on his bulging muscular arms.
Obviously, already in a fighting state, his aura was released without reservation.
The tenth-level hunter.
Tang Yu glanced at him and saw his opponent’s legs fired, like a lion pouncing on its prey.
“Well, it’s a nice opportunity to try out the magic swordsman’s inherited thunder warfare technique.”
BOOM…
The “thunderstrike” hit his opponent precisely. The burly man flew halfway and froze on the spot. His body was scorched black, and his hair stood up like spikes.
In the next second, the man disappeared from his sight, conceding defeat.
Tang Yu nodded slightly, “Thunder Strike” was originally a melee combat technique. After his transformation, it has become a long-range combat technique and could also be called a spell.
This shows that his use of source power has gone to a higher level.
A force descended from the void and enveloped him, and when he returned to his senses, Tang Yu had already appeared in the green camp on the ground. At the same time, that force also turned into a fine stream to nourish his whole body and replenish the source of power and physical strength he had just consumed.
Elaine, Nancy, and others had already returned to the original place. Some of the hunters who had just broken through to the tenth level were still on the upper side of the battle.
After waiting for a short while, the second game began.
Tang Yu was again transported to the battlespace thousands of meters high, this time his opponent was a fourth-age hunter, much stronger than the previous strong man and has reached the 12th level, Tang Yu tried the magic swordsman’s ice inheritance skill “Polar Ice Blade” and defeated his opponent in a mere ten seconds.
The third match.
The person who appeared in the distance was a hunter wearing a Tree Shade combat suit, which Tang Yu did not recognize, but that was not the case for his opponent. His opponent looked at him with awe as if he had already known who Tang Yu was and immediately conceded.
It took only one second for him to achieve victory.
Fourth game.
The opponent was one of his own again, and when he saw Elaine, who was wearing a frost dress robe and holding a staff of equal height, Tang Yu was helpless.
In the high-end game, it was clear that there were not many people from Tree Shade, so how come they always met their own family members?
Elaine also admitted defeat. Their figure disappeared, and both went back to the original place.
At this point, there was still one last game left.
Among the followers, his record was basically a total victory. He did not meet the Northern Court or the fourth era of transcendent, Hui Ren has met the opponent of the awakening stage at the same level as him, but the opponent was defeated within a minute.
And the only match where Elaine lost was when she conceded to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu was not worried. With three wins in five games, there was a high probability that she would make the cut. Even if Elaine had bad luck in the last game and ran into a transcendent opponent with her strength, she still had a high chance of winning.
Tang Yu looked into the distance, Lu Xiaopeng, and others. Their fight was more difficult. Taking advantage of the interval, the treatment team stepped up to help them recover from their injuries.
Not much longer…
The power of teleportation enveloped him once again, and Tang Yu had just stood still when he heard a loud voice coming from the distance.
“Kid, admit defeat. I’m too lazy to do anything.”
He looked, only to see a man with long wild hair, dressed in a gray cloth robe, hands clasped on his chest, hovering a foot high from the light curtain, head held high, gaze looked condescending.
A terrifying aura struck him, like being in the center of a stormy sea, with thunder rolling and waves of fear.
‘It’s transcendent!’
Tang Yu’s eyes narrowed unexpectedly. He had won the lottery!
However, admitting defeat was impossible for Tang Yu, the director of Tree Shade. Underneath him, there might be countless hunters who rooted and idolized him, and he didn’t want to let them down!
So Tang Yu’s chin was slightly raised, extended his middle finger up, and coldly glared back at his opponent.
…
The newly-promoted transcendent from the Ancient Yan Country, Qi Diaonan, froze.
The Ancient Yan Country was once a big country, but it was rumored to have fallen at the end of the third era, and in the fourth era, it was only ranked as one of the many small countries without a transcendent.
The previous four games of the battle, in addition to the first game, were slightly moved. For the next three games, he did not bother to move a finger, and he only needed to unleash his ferocious aura to make his enemies scared sh*tless and admit defeat.
But now, is there something wrong with the script?
The two of them were standing opposite each other, and they could not hide their aura from one another.
Does a mere awakening class dare to stand in front of his transcendent power?
Qi Diaonan felt that he did not need to use much power. He raised his hand, five fingers grasped, majestic source power condensed into a substantial ball of light which instantly flew out.
This blow alone could destroy half of the village.
BOOM!
The air rippled, there was no smoke and dust, the raging energy flow made the space distort, covering Tang Yu’s tiny body.
After waiting for two seconds, there was no change in his opponent’s aura. It’s no weakening at all.
Qi Diaonan grabbed another energy ball of light and blasted out.
BOOM…
CLANG-
BOOM!!!
The battlespace kept trembling, and after ten seconds, the energy turbulence dispersed, and the unscathed youth in his battle suit appeared in his eyes.
……
Tang Yu held two runic longswords, crossed each other.
The faint light of the protective barrier slowly dissipated…
He put down his longsword and moved his wrist. Tang Yu’s confidence came back; his transcendent opponent was way weaker than he thought.
It’s now his turn to launch a counterattack!
Under the super high-speed movement, thin air was like sticky water. Tang Yu sources power spurt to form a coat. His sharp blade cut the air to the sides, increasing his speed even further.
CLANG-
Qi Diaonan has set up a stance and five fingers bent into claws.
Tang Yu crossed the distance of thousands of meters instantly, and when he was close, whoosh, his feet lifted gently.
“instantaneous step”
And the next moment, he appeared behind Qi Diaonan, stabbing his opponent.
Qi Diaonan did not turn back, and he precisely grabbed Tang Yu’s blade with his claw. But it wasn’t without a cost. His metal claw was scratched and tattered from the impact of Tang Yu’s blow.
The Qi Dianonan’s arm went numb, but he immediately raised his foot, wrapped it in the source power, and kicked Tang Yu in the face afterward.
The air was pierced like a thunderous explosion!
In terms of speed and reflexes, Tang Yu was not yet at the transcendental level after all, but he had expected this reaction and simply closed his eyes, enhancing his perception like water waves.
With the augmentation of “Transcendent Perception (Passive)”, as early as Awakening Eleven, Tang Yu was able to catch the movement of Qi Diaonan!
A sweeping kick from Qi Diaonan distorted the air and shattered the stage…
Tang Yu’s figure had already appeared on the other side, and his right hand holding the sword was still in the forward stabbing position.
“Instant Step”
“Instantaneous Stab”
The endless wind blew the stage debris into a mess, and the source power in the sea of Qi rushed out along the meridians, through the arms, and into the sword.
Tang Yu’s heart was like water. His movement was fluid and effective.
Left palm ……
Right raised leg ……
Qi Diaonan was like a sun that emits endless light and heat, but in his constant perception, the sun’s light gradually converges and becomes clear.
It was like an ink painting that was spread out.
On it was painted a wild and unrestrained human figure.
Hands, feet, there were lines formed by the shadow.
Every move was just a figure under the painter’s brush, and Tang Yu was the very person who made the painting.
-The “Realm of Intent Level” mastery!
Through trial and error, Tang Yu was guiding his opponent in the direction he wanted to land his colored ink!
His eyes snapped open, his figure appeared once again, and the inner light of his longsword blossomed at this moment!
……
For Qi Diaonan, it was clear that he was moving faster, but his opponent seemed as if he could read all of his movement.
Tang Yu’s move was flowing naturally.
Qi Diaonan tried to regain his focus, but still to no avail.
Tang Yu appeared on his left side, and from his blind spot, he stabbed out a sword with a fiery flame.
The red, purple flame was so hot that it distorted the air. The burning sensation made Qi Diaonan feel as if he was swimming in a volcano.
“How can he be so strong?”
He did not dare to be stabbed by this move. His body moved out a meter sideways, but alas, he was still stabbed, his transcendental force field was instantly popped like a bubble, leaving a tiny hole in his left arm and the sizzling sound from the high-temperature burn.
The color of fear finally emerged from the bottom of Qi Diaonan’s eyes, successfully painted by Tang Yu.
Not being able to counterattack, his feet stomped on the ground. The transcendent force field also propelled him, quickly flying backward.
And at this time, the young man suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed him with his sword.
Relentless!
Swift!
Impossible to evade!
……
Qi Diaonan’s figure disappeared, but there was blood dripping down from the sword’s tip.
Immediately afterward, the mysterious power enveloped and Tang Yu, and he returned to the camp of Tree Shade…
Once his tense mind was loosened, he felt drained… His arms were numb.
The battle lasted for a short time, and it seemed that he had overpowered his opponent from beginning to end, playing a 10:0 crushing game, but in reality, only Tang Yu himself knew that he had used all his strengths and all his cards, except for the Kryptonite mode.
When he thought of this, the corners of his mouth could not help but smile dryly.
