Ultimate Martial Divine King

After the middle-aged man in charge of this competition area received the banners, he handed a small red plate with the numbers' 224 'inlaid on it to Chu Hen.    

"In addition, the second round of the tournament will be held two days later. You'll have to wait for the academy to notify you when you return!"    

"Thank you!"    

Chu Hen nodded, said a simple thank you, turned around and left.    

The middle-aged man looked at Chu Hen's fading back, and his heart was filled with all kinds of doubts.    

"Why is he the only one who came out?"    

Logically speaking, since Chu Hen had obtained the banner, the other contestants should have also been coming out one after another. It had been quite a while, yet there didn't seem to be any movement.    

"How strange!" The middle-aged man looked at the deep forest behind him and shook his head helplessly.    

After leaving the competition area, Chu Hen's mood was not as relaxed as he had imagined.    

Other than the joy of obtaining the only promotion spot, there was also an indescribable gloominess. Because of his hatred and anger towards Wei Qingfan, he had killed so many people in a row. It was impossible to say that he did not have any grudges in his heart.    

Of course, Chu Hen didn't feel any guilt at all.    

When to be cruel, when to be forgiving    

Chu Hen knew it clearly in his heart.    

Suddenly, someone patted Chu Hen's shoulder from behind. He subconsciously turned around and saw Luo Mengchang's elegant and refined face.    

"You?" Chu Hen's eyes lit up and he smiled.    

"Don't tell me you were eliminated?" Luo Mengchang's eyes were filled with a soft glow.    

"No!" "I've improved, look" Chu Hen spread out his palm, and put the small red card that hadn't been put into the Storage Ring in front of the other party.    

"Then why are you so listless? I thought you were eliminated!"    

Chu Hen smiled and shook his head, "No, what about you?"    

"Guess!" A trace of a mischievous smile flashed between Luo Mengchang's eyebrows.    

"From the looks of it, you have also advanced."    

"Alright! "You're smart!"    

Chu Hen was stunned, can this also be called smart?    

The two of them chatted as they walked out of the competition grounds.    

Luo Mengchang's smile gradually relaxed Chu Hen's heart. The gloominess that was accumulated in his heart was quietly released. Even though they had only met a few times, they still felt a sense of familiarity with each other.    

More and more regions had finished their first round of eliminations.    

Most of the people coming and going were dispirited and listless.    

In the entire Southern Domain, there were a total of fifteen thousand competitors. However, there were only five hundred who had passed through the first round. This sort of ratio was quite large …    

As for the other three regions, they were all likely in the same situation.    

Not long later, Chu Hen and Luo Mengchang arrived at the front of the competition grounds. Chu Hen saw Mentor Xi Lan waiting outside with a single glance.    

With her long purple hair and her peerless beauty, no matter what, she would always be the focus of others' attention.    

"My teacher is over there." Chu Hen said.    

"Oh!" Luo Mengchang nodded slightly. "Then you go over!" I won't be going over to your side. It seems like my direct teacher has some conflicts with your teacher! "    

Festival?    

Chu Hen was slightly stunned, then asked, "Your mentor is?"    

"Red Lotus." Luo Mengchang softly replied, her red lips slightly parted.    

He had already been in Imperial Capital City for close to a year, so he had occasionally heard Liu Tie and Zhou Lu talk about him as well as the famous Genius Evil.    

Chu Hen had also heard of Core Mentor's Red Lotus from the Royal Martial College.    

It is said that she is also a High-Level Pattern Master    

High-Level Pattern Master?    

Chu Hen's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that when they were in Holy Bell City, Xi Lan and himself were trapped by the mysterious High-Level Pattern Master using the "Hateful Illusion Array". He had nearly lost his life.    

Thinking about it now, wasn't the teacher who Royal Martial College had led back then Red Lotus?    

"What's the matter with you?" Luo Mengchang asked in confusion when she saw Chu Hen's dazed look.    

Chu Hen shook his head. At the same time, he looked at the other party with a complicated expression.    

"Nothing."    

"Oh, then I'll be leaving first."    

"En, alright!"    

Without further ado, Luo Mengchang took the lead and left.    

Chu Hen looked at her elegant and refined back and let out a deep breath. There was a trace of deep meaning in his eyes.    

Then, Chu Hen left the competition area and came to Xi Lan's side.    

"Instructor."    

"You've advanced, right?" Although Xi Lan was asking, her eyes were firm.    

Chu Hen smiled and nodded, "Mhm, our luck is pretty good. We didn't meet any tough opponents."    

Xi Lan also smiled, her beautiful eyes rippling.    

Not long after, a loud and clear bugle call reverberated in every corner of the venue.    

This meant that the first round of the semifinals was over. The top 500 from the Southern Domain's Grand Competition had all passed.    

The densely packed crowd came out of the competition grounds one by one. With the ratio of 30 to 1, it was possible to see a smiling person amongst the crowd of 30 or so people. The rest all had their heads hanging down in dejection.    

Of course, except for walking out on his own.    

There were also quite a number of people who had been helped out, and they were all injured in the competition.    

Some of the more tragic ones had lost their lives and were carried out on stretchers.    

Very quickly, the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion students all gathered around Xi Lan.    

"Shixiong Qingyuan, what's wrong with you?"    

"Sigh, don't mention it. I met a guy with a level two Core-Transforming Stage. The banner in my hands was taken by him."    

"I'm eliminated too."    

All the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion students were not in high spirits, a large majority of them had been eliminated from the competition. Of course, in these recent years, Heavenly Star Martial Mansion had been one of the bottom ranked academies in the entire Imperial Capital City, and there was a reason for this. Due to the fact that they were unable to recruit outstanding students, their overall strength was relatively weak.    

It was not surprising that most people had been eliminated.    

However, what was surprising was that Lei Zhen actually got the promotion quota.    

Previously, when Lei Zhen was at the Holy Bell City, he was pretty much at the ninth level of the Essence Mastering. Then, after five months of diligent and bitter training, he broke through to the first level of the Core-Transforming Stage not too long ago.    

In the past when he was in the Holy Bell City, Lei Zhen had interacted with Demonic Beast s year round, and he had extremely strong experience and fighting ability. Although everyone was surprised, they felt that it was reasonable for Lei Zhen to win the promotion quota.    

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the front.    

"Miserable, truly motherf * cking miserable!"    

"What's going on?"    

"You still don't know? In round two hundred and twenty-four, ten people were severely injured and twenty-two people died. "    

"My god!"    

"Twenty-two contestants died?"    

The entire arena was in an uproar, and everyone who heard this news turned pale with fright.    

"You all didn't see how miserable it was when those people were carried out. Several people didn't even have a complete corpse. Who did they offend? It's a massacre! "    

The one who said it didn't mean it, the one who heard it had a mind of their own!    

Lei Zhen subconsciously blurted out, "Isn't Chu Hen from contest area 224?"    

It didn't matter if he didn't say it, but his words stirred up a huge wave.    

Everyone's gaze turned towards Chu Hen. However, Chu Hen had already left, leaving everyone with a proud and aloof view.    

Seeing this situation, everyone from the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion looked at each other.    

"It was really Chu Hen's doing!"    

"This guy, isn't he too ruthless?"    

"Twenty-two people killed!"    

Even though they were from the same academy, they couldn't help but look at Chu Hen with more caution.    

Xi Lan frowned slightly. From what she knew, Chu Hen was not a bloodthirsty person. He did not have that kind of bloodthirsty aura around him.    

There was only one reason for this situation.    

It was because Chu Hen had to do it.    

"Instructor?" He Qingyuan said softly.    

Xi Lan shook her head and sighed softly. "Let's go!"    

In the evening!    

Imperial Capital City welcomed the entire city's excitement. Four Great Competition Regions, two thousand contest areas, had decided on two thousand geniuses to advance. The entire city was discussing who would be able to make it into the top thirty-six of Earth Rank.    

Who could win the championship seat in the Earth Rank competition?    

"I bet on Difeng Martial Mansion's Wei Qingfan, there's a 80% chance of winning the Earth Rank championship."    

"I bet on Consonance Martial Mansion's Shen Yunxi. The champion must be him."    

"I think highly of Yao Zhan from Royal Martial College."    

Following the exciting performance of the Earth Rank battle, Imperial Capital City and even its entire Holy Star Dynasty became lively.    

Of course, this was just the beginning. After the great battle of Earth Rank, there would still be battles for the Heavenly Rankings. In the coming period of time, the atmosphere of Imperial Capital City would continue to be high and mighty.    

In a magnificent and resplendent manor.    

Lanterns were hung up in the yard, and they were as bright as day. On the pavilion, several graceful young dancers were dancing.    

Within the pavilion, Wei Qingfan was holding a young lady with heavy makeup in his arms as he continuously received the wine that the other person was handing to him.    

This manor was Wei Qingfan's private residence, and it was also the gentle place that he extravagantly spent all night.    

"Young Master Wei, you've had that Miss Ye Youuye recently, so you don't have time to stay with me anymore," the pretty girl in his arms said coquettishly.    

Wei Qingfan held his chin with a smile and said with interest, "Tonight, I will accompany you to the end."    

The lady giggled. "Speaking of which, Young Master Wei, how much financial resources did you put into that woman, but she still hasn't submitted to you. I don't think she knows what's good for her, so Young Master Wei should not waste any more time on her."    

"The more arrogant a woman is, the more I like her. I like to slowly tame her."    

Wei Qingfan said as he poured a glass of wine into his mouth.    

As long as he could win the championship in Earth Rank War, he did not believe that Ye Youu would not give up on him.    

"Young Master!" At this moment, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in from outside. It was Wei Qingfan's personal follower, Wei Han.    

Wei Qingfan's eyelids twitched, then his eyes lit up. "The good news is here!"
