Chapter 7 City Election Begins
Chapter 7 City Election Begins
The first was the drawing of lots. There was a martial arts expert from the City Lord's Mansion as the chief referee, and four deputy referees were in charge of observing the four corners of the arena.
The referee announced loudly, "There are a total of 320 participants in the Bluestone Town Martial Arts Town Election."
"The first round is the arena competition. Each of the two contestants is a group. Draw lots to determine the group. There are a total of 160 groups. Let's compete on the arena."
"In the end, the top 40 contestants will automatically advance and participate in the Martial Arts City Selection in a month's time."
Afterwards, the referee announced that 320 contestants had come forward to draw lots.
When Xiang Nan went to draw lots, there were quite a few people in the audience who flattered the Wang Clan and angrily scolded Xiang Nan, doing their utmost to insult him.
Xiang Nan turned his head, looked at the shouts and handed the number token in his hand to the referee.
The referee nodded and wrote Xiang Nan's name on the stone slab behind him, marking "sixteen" behind him.
On behalf of Xiang Nan, he was the 16th contestant.
In the end, a youth named "Zhang Chuang" was also selected as "sixteen".
Seeing this result, everyone in the audience booed. They felt very regretful that Xiang Nan had not been able to draw with the Wang Clan.
The referee spoke and began to announce the specific rules.
The duration of each group's final battle shall not exceed five minutes, and the opponent shall not be killed.
"Alright, let's invite the first group of contestants to the stage." The referee raised his right hand.
At this time, two contestants walked up to the arena. One of them was named Liu Kai, and the other was Wang Jinghai from the Wang Clan.
Wang Jinghai was only sixteen years old, but he was already at the fourth level of the Xiantian realm! Liu Kai's strength was also extraordinary, and at the age of eighteen, he was at the Xiantian First Layer.
"My God, look, that's Wang Jinghai! He's one of the Wang Clan's young geniuses!" The crowd immediately boiled.
"That's right. I heard that Wang Jinghai has a talent for earth veins of the Mortal Stage!"
The scene was in chaos, and after Liu Kai heard about the Earth Vein Talent of the Mortal Stage, his expression changed slightly.
Earth veins represented the potential for defense.
Wang Jinghai smiled faintly and leapt up into the arena. With just this move, he won the applause of the crowd.
In the spectator stands and in the direction of the VIP seats, the Li Family Patriarch smiled and said, "Changhe, Jinghai is a very good child. He is indeed a genius who possesses the affinity of the five elements, especially the affinity of the earth vein. It is truly rare."
Wang Changhe cupped his fists and saluted, "Brother Li, you're too polite. Your Li Clan's youths are also extraordinary heroes."
"Haha." The two Patriarchs looked at each other and smiled, both feeling extremely proud.
"Now I declare!" The referee raised his right hand and quickly sliced down his palm, "Begin!"
On the arena, Wang Jinghai and Liu Kai stood opposite each other. Wang Jinghai waved to Liu Kai, "Come, let me give you three moves."
Liu Kai's face was filled with anger as he rushed towards Wang Jinghai, "You underestimated me too much!"
Wang Jinghai shook his head in disdain and turned to look in the direction of Xiang Nan.
Furthermore, under the gazes of the crowd, he made a gesture of beheading Xiang Nan.
"Where are you looking!" Liu Kai leapt into the air and swept his fierce right whip leg towards the back of Wang Jinghai's neck.
This whip leg even brought with it the whistling sound of the wind. It could be said to be extremely powerful!
On the other side, Xiang Nan didn't dodge Wang Jinghai's fiery and murderous gaze and just looked at Wang Jinghai indifferently.
Suddenly, with a muffled sound, Liu Kai's leg ruthlessly swept across the back of Wang Jinghai's neck.
But in the end! The next scene shocked everyone.
Wang Jinghai was hit by the whip leg and only took half a step sideways. He then turned around to look at Liu Kai and shrugged his shoulders, "Is that all?"
Liu Kai's expression changed drastically.
"Come, there are still two more moves." Wang Jinghai smiled and waved at Liu Kai.
This time, even the young geniuses of the Mo Clan and the Li Clan had serious expressions on their faces.
"Jinghai, this brat" Mo Qi of the Mo Clan frowned. "He hasn't fought with him for half a year. His defense is already so abnormal."
Looking at the arena, Liu Kai took a deep breath. He took three steps back and began to condense his Yuan Qi.
A faint glow wrapped around Liu Kai's entire right arm.
"Oh? The weather first." Wang Jinghai smiled faintly, "Come on, you use the weather to attack, and I use the weather to defend."
After saying that, Wang Jinghai straightened his chest, and a layer of pre-weather that was much denser than Liu Kai attached itself to his body.
After Liu Kai finished gathering, he sprinted forward and threw a heavy punch at Wang Jinghai.
Wang Jinghai's Xiantian was instantly moved to his forehead, and his head was actually pushed forward!
Liu Kai's fists collided heavily with Wang Jinghai's forehead.
Peng's muffled sound was followed by a cracking sound!
Liu Kai was actually knocked backwards by Wang Jinghai's fist, and his arm bone was broken!
"Hiss" The scene was filled with gasps of cold air.
"I... I admit defeat!" Liu Kai clutched his broken arm, his face ashen with pain, large drops of cold sweat.
After the atmosphere froze for a moment, the crowd immediately cheered and shook the heavens!
Wang Jinghai defeated Liu Kai without a single move! What heaven-defying strength was this?
"I haven't even finished three moves." Wang Jinghai shook his forehead in disdain. Without looking at Liu Kai, he turned back to look at Xiang Nan and said, "Xiang Nan, you'd better pray that you don't meet me."
"The first winner, Wang Jinghai!" The referee announced on the spot, and then said, "The next match will be played by both sides."
In the next eleven matches, there weren't too many bright spots. Even though a few youths from the three great clans had appeared on the stage, they quickly defeated their opponents.
But no one else showed Wang Jinghai's overwhelming advantage.
Until the twelfth match, Xiantian Fourth Layer expert Mo Qi appeared!
The auditorium was boiling again.
"It's the Mo Clan's Mo Qi! He, Wang Jinghai of the Wang Clan, and Li Lingfeng of the Li Clan are known as the three heroes!"
"That's right, he really is a young hero. I heard that he also possesses the affinity of the Five Elements. He seems to be … a Mortal Grade Fire Vein!"
What was even more remarkable was that Mo Qi's opponent was a Li Clan's Li Yuntian. He was eighteen years old and was at the Xiantian Third Layer. The battle between the two of them was very interesting.
Mo Qi pulled out a snow-white longsword from behind him. He poured the weather into the sword and saw that there was a dazed air current on the sword.
"It's indeed a fire vein!" Wang Changhe nodded and said, "This kind of flame affinity is too rare. It is worthy of being as famous as my Jinghai."
The airflow around the sword was caused by the temperature! Anyone who looked at it would feel terrified.
Li Yuntian's expression was incomparably grave. He drew out his saber and poured the weather into it. He rushed towards Mo Qi.
Every time the two weapons collided, Li Yuntian was knocked back a few steps. His face turned green and red, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Finally, he was knocked out of the arena in the eighth move.
Mo Qi casually carried his sword behind him and raised his head calmly.
The two of them were only one level away! Especially since Li Yuntian was a genius from one of the three great clans!
Mo Qi used this crushing strength to defeat Li Yuntian, who was two years older, and his shocking power was not inferior to Wang Jinghai's.
