285: C285 The Knockout Round Begins

C285 The Knockout Round Begins

Today, the entire Loong Yuan City was on the highest alert.

The pedestrians were walking on the road. There were guards formed by Genuine Entering Stage warriors everywhere. These guards all had serious expressions on their faces as they stared at the people coming and going, trying to find clues on their faces.

The elimination matches of War of Celestial Chosen actually had nothing to do with most of them. However, being able to witness the clash between geniuses of this level with their own eyes was also an opportunity for them to increase their combat experience. Three days ago, the entire Loong Yuan City was filled with people.

"It's said that this time, it's going to be a restructuring of the nobility. When the War of Celestial Chosen ends, at least half of the nobles will lose their noble status."

"The top ten of the War of Celestial Chosen can bring their own families and become nobles of our dynasty. "Such a reward is simply too generous."

"Take a guess. How many aristocrats will be eliminated from the War of Celestial Chosen this time, and how many more will be born?"

Now, as long as people were talking about it, they would be talking about the War of Celestial Chosen. Also, the 32 geniuses who were participating in the competition were all people who people talked about enthusiastically.

The people who were talking about the most were the Three Dragons and Two Phoenixes, and the number one madman of Dynasty, Shen Yih.

At this moment, Hai Aojun had already personally brought Shen Yih, Hai Lingqing, and Hai Cangfeng to the venue where the elimination round was being held. When the four of them arrived at the arena, it was already crowded with people.

Xiahou Guang, Xiahou Lieh, Tan Qi, and Luo Yingying were all in the crowd. The positions of the four of them were requested by the Hai Mansion. They could clearly see the arena. As for the others, they could only watch from afar. The sea of people extended to ten miles away.

However, although there were a lot of spectators here, there were only thirty-two main characters.

These thirty-two people were all the most terrifying geniuses in Dynasty, and all of them were very powerful.

They were currently standing expressionlessly on the arena, and their eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit. The sound of the arena going down the mountain and roaring at the sea was incessant.

"Look, the number one madman of Dynasty, Shen Yih, has arrived!"

"That is the daughter of the Hai Mansion, Miss Hai Lingqing, right?"

"It is said that Lord Hai Aojun intends to let Shen Yih be his son-in-law. However, if one took a closer look, Shen Yih and Hai Lingqing are really a match made in heaven. "

Some of these discussions fell into the ears of Zhao Bingming who was standing on the stage. Initially, when Zhao Bingming saw Shen Yih, his face lit up. He was just about to step forward and greet him, but now, his facial expression turned ugly.

Zhao Biewen, who was standing next to Zhao Bingming, naturally noticed his sister's expression. He couldn't help but sigh.

It was widely spread in the empire that Shen Yih and Hai Lingqing had become Dao Companions. Furthermore, Shen Yih had been living in the Hai Mansion for the past few days. It wasn't just a rumor.

It was just that he pitied his sister. Zhao Biewen was very clear about the feelings of this silly sister of his.

However, he couldn't figure out Shen Yih's attitude.

Initially, he thought that Shen Yih wasn't good enough for his sister. However, with Shen Yih's performance, he was now worried whether Shen Yih would take a liking to his sister.

When Shen Yih appeared, a young girl hiding in the crowd suddenly had a look of hatred in her eyes.

The anger in the girl's eyes was not concealed at all. Shen Yih quickly noticed the strange look in the girl's eyes and subconsciously looked at her.

When he saw the man, the corner of Shen Yih's mouth curled up slightly. He did not expect to meet someone he knew here.

This person was staring at him with hatred all over his face. It was none other than Xue Xiaochai.

Xue Xiaochai had already reached the Genuine Entering Stage Fifth Layer, and her realm was very stable. Obviously, she wasn't the kind of realm that could be improved by using pills.

Xue Xiaochai's strength was only above average among the 32 people, but not outstanding. However, to be able to break through to the Genuine Entering Stage Fifth Layer in such a short period of time, it seemed like Xue Xiaochai's talent could not be underestimated.

"Shen Yih!"

Xue Xiaochai's pretty face was filled with frost. Especially when Shen Yih looked over, the coldness in her eyes was not concealed at all.

When Shen Yih had just become famous in the empire, Xue Xiaochai had already noticed his identity, but she did not take it to heart. Because Xue Xiaochai was confident that with the nurturing of the royal family, she would definitely be able to soar into the sky. There was already a huge difference between her and Shen Yih.

No matter how strong Shen Yih was, he was just an ordinary genius in the dynasty. He might become the consecration of those aristocrats and obtain a lifetime of wealth and glory.

But he was the phoenix of the Nine Heavens!

He was the one who truly stood at the peak of the dynasty. And his opponent was no longer Shen Yih, but a top genius like the Three Dragons and Two Phoenixes.

However, he had never thought that Shen Yih's reputation would grow even more after he had only been in seclusion for a few days. Not only did he cripple the geniuses of Chen Family in the Trial, but he also attacked like a dark horse. The entire dynasty had recognized him as the number one madman of the dynasty.

Shen Yih had also defeated Duan Qingtian, one of the top geniuses of the three dragons in the Formation Chess Game.

These honors were supposed to belong to him, but why was he still unknown until now, while Shen Yih's name had spread across the world?

How unfair was the Heavenly Dao?

"Shen Yih, this time, I will let you understand who is the true genius of War of Celestial Chosen!" Xue Xiaochai took a deep breath and muttered to herself.

Xue Xiaochai had made up her mind to take back all the glory that should belong to her from Shen Yih.

Shen Yih only gave Xue Xiaochai a calm glance before withdrawing his gaze.

He never paid too much attention to those who were defeated by him. Now that Shen Yih's gaze fell on another person, the corner of his mouth involuntarily revealed a smile.

This figure was also staring at him.

This person was precisely Lin Yingru, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Yih nodded slightly at Lin Yingru, and Lin Yingru smiled back at him.

Lin Cui, who was beside Lin Yingru, also noticed the conversation between Lin Yingru and Shen Yih. A flash of light flashed across his eyes, but he did not say anything. His eyes kept blinking, obviously thinking about something.

"The names of the thirty-two people in this elimination tournament, as well as their Cultivation Technique and habits, are all familiar to the three of you?" Hai Aojun asked with a calm expression.

The three of them nodded slightly. Shen Yih only took a glance at the name list and the introduction. Hai Lingqing did not pay too much attention to it. Only Hai Cangfeng studied it carefully for a long time.

However, Hai Aojun did not take it to heart.

If one was able to defeat a person just by knowing the opponent's techniques and habits, then the path of Cultivation was too simple.

"This elimination match is a one on one arena battle. All of you must be careful of your opponent. Don't let your opponent slip away." Hai Aojun reminded.

The elimination match this time required the selection of the true top two, and not a detailed ranking of strength. Hence, the only thing that could be said to be defeated was elimination.

This was the reason why the Chen Family didn't hesitate to offend the Hai Mansion, and also wanted to assassinate Shen Yih and Hai Lingqing.

To these participants, any battle was of great importance.

When Hai Aojun asked Shen Yih and the other two, the discussions below the arena didn't stop at all.

"This time, the War of Celestial Chosen has really won over all the geniuses of our empire. Not only are there top geniuses like the three dragons and two phoenixes, but also geniuses like Lin Cui, Zhang Ming, and Li Yuan, who have already made a name for themselves, are also here."

"These are all rare geniuses. No matter what their ranking is today, being able to enter the elimination round has already proved their strength. "

"This time, Chen Huang, Duan Qingtian, and Gudu Yun are the main attraction of this competition."

"Hehe, what's so good about the battle between the three dragons? Could it be that Chen Huang and Duan Qingtian can still threaten Gudu Yun? I'm looking forward to the battle between the two phoenixes. The battle between these two peerless geniuses will be more interesting."

"Gudu Yun is too strong. His strength is enough to suppress the other geniuses."

"Do you all think that the number one madman of the dynasty, Shen Yih, can fight against the three dragons and two phoenixes?"2

"If arrogance equals strength, then he will definitely be the champion. Unfortunately, arrogance was not equal to strength. He had offended the Chen Family, so it was still uncertain whether he would be able to survive. " Do you think Chen Huang of the Chen Family will let him go? "

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At this moment, three ancient bells suddenly sounded. The originally chaotic environment instantly became quiet.

This bell sound came from within the royal family and could not be sounded unless it was a major event. And now it rang three times in a row. It could be seen how important the royal family regarded the War of Celestial Chosen.

Shen Yih stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the tall platform above the arena with an unhappy expression.

Everyone's eyes were also looking at him. Some people's breathing became urgent.

At this moment, an old man slowly walked out.

When he saw this old man, Shen Yih's eyes narrowed. Don't look at how this old man was trembling as he walked. However, his strength was actually a bit stronger than Hai Aojun's.

This old man had already reached the peak of Eighth Layer of Qi Sea Stage. If it wasn't for his age, he wouldn't be able to advance any further, and he would only be a step away from breaking through to the ninth level of the Qi Sea Stage.

"Eh? Isn't this old man a consecrate of the Imperial Family? Cloudsea Spirit Lord?"

"I never thought that this elimination match would be hosted by Cloudsea Spirit Lord himself."

Below the arena, a series of whispers could be heard. These people's eyes were filled with surprise.

This Cloudsea Spirit Lord had always been very famous in the dynasty. When he was young, he was also a god of slaughter.

When Cloudsea Spirit Lord was fighting with the Southern Barbarians Country, he led his team and travelled three thousand miles, killing three rounds in the Southern Barbarians Country. However, in the past twenty years, he had gradually restrained his killing intent, and rarely showed his face.

Some people suspected that Cloudsea Spirit Lord had gone back in time. Some said that Cloudsea Spirit Lord was seriously injured and had never thought that he would suddenly appear in front of everyone today.

Venerable Yun Hai glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.

"This War of Celestial Chosen is related to the future of our Great Xia Country. It is also related to your fates and the future of your families. " As long as you are outstanding enough, my royal family will never be stingy with the rewards! "

"Regardless of whether you are able to obtain a ranking that is close to the top, as long as you can display your talent, my royal family will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Now, everyone can draw lots."

Boom!

As soon as Cloudsea Spirit Lord announced the start of the competition, it was as if the entire venue had exploded, and all sorts of noises were heard.

Now, there were people who had already prepared the skewers and placed them in front of the contestants.

There were only 32 people in the elimination round this time, and the speed of drawing lots was very fast.

Shen Yih drew his lot and retreated to the side.

Very soon, the results of the drawing of lots were announced.

"First match, Shen Yih against Zhang Ming!"
