C928 The Top Four List!
C928 The Top Four List!
Those people who had been clamoring that Ming Yu would kneel down and beg for mercy after three strikes from Shen Xuan had no chance of surviving were now wearing a very interesting expression.
As a dark horse that had risen to power, Ming Yu had indeed attracted a large number of fans. But at the same time, there were also those who had slandered and envied him. In their eyes, it was a trademark expert like Shen Xuan Ji. She had long become the goddess in everyone's heart, but Ming Yu was different. He had only appeared in their field of vision for a few months.
This meant that Ming Yu's repeated miracles had actually broken the balance of these people's values and overturned their imaginations. This would naturally make them unhappy.
Therefore, when they found out that Ming Yu had proposed to have a life-and-death battle with Shen Xuan Ji, many people had already laughed their teeth off and were waiting for today to see a joke.
However, when everyone saw this ending, it was as if they had eaten a fly. And those audiences who were very supportive of Ming Yu felt as good as they could at this moment.
Ming Yu kept breaking through from the eighth level of the Star Swallowing Stage to the eighth level of the Peak of Stage. And... The 45,000 Star Aperture on his body, and finally, the fist technique that he threw out. It was even more difficult for everyone to imagine how Ming Yu could be so powerful!
In fact, as the saying went, the laymen were watching the show, while the insiders were watching the show. At this moment, the upper echelons of the Shining Edge Academy, who were hiding on top of the clouds, were not calm at all.
Even Bai Qiushan, who had always been calm and composed, had a hint of admiration on his face.
Because, the killing move that Ming Yu used at the end was definitely a genuine Desolate Grade martial skill!
What kind of concept was this? They, these Super Experts that had already reached the Profound Void Martial Stage, were unparalleled and terrifying existences in the three great Imperial Region. The Desolate Grade martial skill that only qualified to cultivate was actually used by a little kid who was only at the peak of the eighth level of the Star Swallowing Stage.
Even in all these years, countless Demonic Genius had appeared frequently in the Shining Edge Academy. These elders had also seen cases where Ming Yu, who was at the peak of the eighth level of the Star Swallowing Stage, used a Desolate Grade martial skill.
If one were to say that Ming Yu was at the peak of the ninth level of the Star Swallowing Stage, he had already touched the threshold of the Profound Void Martial Stage. Due to his extraordinary talent, he had managed to learn a Desolate Level Martial Skill by chance. Perhaps it could still be explained, but it was impossible for Ming Yu to comprehend the Profound Void Martial Stage at this moment. It was to use such a killing move.
"This kid's talent is indeed not to be underestimated, and he deserves to be taken seriously."
An elder squinted his eyes and looked down at the battle island in the sky as he muttered to himself.
This elder also voiced out the thoughts of many elders.
Judging from the previous battle, Ming Yu did indeed have a lot of luck. Although he had some talent amongst his peers, it was not something these elders had the right to pay attention to. Now, this "True Martial Tribulation Killing Fist" and the Desolate Grade Martial Skill had completely attracted the attention of the elders.
And at this moment, Ming Yu naturally did not know that the elders were watching from above the clouds.
But Ming Yu naturally had a feeling. He knew that the upper echelons of the Shining Edge Academy... Even... Some hidden powers might have noticed this in secret at this moment. From the moment Ming Yu used the Desolate Level martial skill, he wanted to hide his strength. It was impossible for him to have talent.
However, Ming Yu did not want to hide either, because the real battle was about to reach its climax.
At this time, he had to use all of his skills, and he would not hold back at all.
Sword Emperor's Heart, Desolate level martial skill, crazy increase in strength, and even 45,000 Star Aperture, this kind of physique that was infinitely close to a Life Defying level star...
Ming Yu was taking one step at a time towards the three great Imperial Region, displaying his own strength.
"Impossible..."
Duan Yi, who was in the waiting room, immediately knelt down. His eyes were wide open, and he fell into deep despair. His face was deathly pale.
He would never have thought that Ming Yu would actually defeat Shen Xuan with just a Desolate Grade Martial Skill. Furthermore, this was the life and death arena. If Ming Yu chose to kill her, would the higher ups of the Shining Edge Academy not interfere in this matter?!
No... He absolutely could not do this, because Shen Xuan was his goddess and his faith. His faith could not be erased...
But wait... Duan Yi suddenly seemed to realize something.
The goddess he thought was an undefeated legend. Shen Xuan Ji was a supreme existence, even though she was currently ranked second on the Sky Ranking. However, Duan Yi even thought that her strength was even greater than Kuang Renyu's. Shen Xuan Ji should be an invincible existence. She was worthy of his admiration and love!
But now, Shen Xuan Ji lost!
She had completely lost to Ming Yu.
This meant that Shen Xuan Ji's noble image had already cracked in Duan Yi's heart. As the saying went, a dam of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. Duan Yi realized that the faith he wanted to protect had completely collapsed.
It turned out that from the beginning to the end, the complete and utter trash was actually him. Even the person he believed in had been crushed by Ming Yu.
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Duan Yi laughed so hard that he bared his teeth. He didn't care even if saliva flowed out of his mouth. At this moment, his spirit suffered a critical hit. He didn't dare to look directly at the man on the island in the sky. Because his subconscious had already understood that it was never only him who was worthy of pursuing Shen Xuan Ji. Only Ming Yu was worthy!
However, this man called Ming Yu seemed to disdain to look at his former goddess. Instead, he looked down at her indifferently and conquered her from above!
On the island in the sky, Ming Yu lifted Shen Xuan's chin with his sword. He tilted his neck and said with interest, "So, tell me your last words."
In fact, Ming Yu did not have any intention to fight. He did not even show much killing intent. In fact, he saw very clearly that it was a life-and-death battle. In fact, it was just a few words of anger. Even if he wanted to take it seriously... The upper echelons of Shining Edge Academy would never do that, because they would lose any genius that was worth paying attention to. It would be a huge loss to Shining Edge Academy.
Shen Xuan Ji naturally had her own value. The Shining Edge Academy would never let her die just like that.
However, Shen Xuan Ji's mind was blank at this moment. She could feel the sharp edge of the Scale Bone Sword that Ming Yu had lifted up her neck. Her entire body was trembling. She lowered her eyes and clenched her fists tightly. She had never thought of these things. She was simply afraid of death!
"I... I beg you..."
"Beg me for what?" Ming Yu asked with interest.
"Spare my life. I can't die. I can give you all the cultivation resources in my Storage Ring. But, you have to let me go!" Shen Xuan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's fly. To her, this was also a collapse of faith!
She used to be high and mighty, bossy and bossy. Even now, her identity was that of the president of the Star Brilliance Guild. She was a rare genius that was rarely seen in hundreds and thousands of years. But now, she merely knelt here. She begged Ming Yu for mercy, wanting to contribute her cultivation resources. It was all for the sake of living an ignoble life.
These words were meant to force the voice into a line, so only Ming Yu could hear them.
"I can't hear you."
Ming Yu's mind moved slightly. The Scale Bone Sword revealed its edge and directly cut through Shen Xuan Ji's long and fair neck. Bright red blood dripped down from the pure milk like skin... In almost an instant, Shen Xuan Ji shouted at the top of her voice. She practically had a sobbing tone as she said, "I beg you! Ming Yu! Let me go... I'll give you all these resources, as long as... You can spare my life..."
Shen Xuan's words reverberated in the air above the Battle Island. For a moment, the originally noisy battlefield could be heard with a pin drop.
After a few seconds of silence, which caused one to suffocate, it caused an uproar among the audience.
"Then scram."
Ming Yu grabbed Shen Xuan's Storage Ring and kicked her out of the combat island in the air. Her flying bird quickly carried her and flew into the distance.
Ming Yu did not look at Shen Xuan again. He had already defeated her once. He had no chance to be his opponent in this life. Furthermore... The matter of Shen Xuan kneeling and begging for mercy today must have become the shadow of Shen Xuan Ji's life. A person who had never suffered a blow and relied on his talent to live a comfortable life. Once he suffered a huge setback, it would be difficult for him to get up again.
Although Ming Yu did not kill anyone, it was definitely a heart attack!
Shen Xuan Ji was already crippled.
Ming Yu used his divine sense to scan the Storage Bag and almost could not control his smile, but even if he forcefully suppressed it, he still wanted to laugh.
There were simply too many things inside. Just the Star Soul Pill alone... That's three million! Moreover, there were all types of martial techniques, cultivation methods, and even five stalks of precious medicine that were close to ten thousand years old! To Ming Yu, these were all excellent tonics.
For a moment, Ming Yu's mood was extremely good.
He wasn't afraid of Shen Xuan Ji snatching these things, because he hadn't waited for her to snatch them yet. These things would probably be completely refined by Ming Yu. At that time, no matter if it was Shen Xuan Ji or the person she was relying on, Ming Yu would no longer be polite.
"Shen Xuan Ji, I have given you a chance. If you don't cherish it, you will be killed without mercy next time."
Ming Yu thought in his heart. He waved his hand and kept the Storage Ring.
"We will now announce that the Sword-Manipulated Divine Soldier Hall, Ming Yu, will be able to enter the top four of the competition. Let us announce it once again. Congratulations to this super dark horse, the new hero of the three great Imperial Region. Congratulations again!"
The commentator on the island in the sky reported the good news very sensibly. For a moment, the division of the arena was once again brought to the extreme.
"Ming Yu is awesome!"
"Like I said, Ming Yu will definitely become the strongest as we said!"
"Just like that, we will continue killing our way forward. There is nothing that can stop us from advancing."
"Ming Yu, I love you. I want to give birth to a monkey with you, hehe..."
For a moment, Ming Yu was drowned by countless cheers. He almost fell into this kind of hot glory and was unable to extricate himself from it. This kind of feeling was indeed wonderful. Even when he took a deep breath, the air became much fresher.
From now on, the path of cultivation in the future, even if there were countless difficulties, was still a kind of pursuit of happiness. Life, cultivation, dreams, and the path of cultivation were all filled with anticipation!
All of this needed to wait for him to completely undo the Heavenly Evil Tribulation Curse!
"In the next few days, I'm afraid I will have to witness the true miracle of the Exalted Heaven Seeking Ceremony."
On the peak of the clouds, Bai Qiushan stared in the direction of Ming Yu, deep in thought.
His strength was exceptionally deep. After being surprised by Ming Yu just now, after examining Ming Yu carefully, he seemed to have discovered something different. Ming Yu was really too inconceivable. The Desolate Grade martial skill he used was naturally related to his opportunity. But at the same time, he would definitely not be able to escape the help of external forces. It was definitely not as simple as his own talent!
There seemed to be some kind of faintly discernible aura on Ming Yu's body. Bai Qiushan pondered hard. Suddenly, a bright light shot out from the depths of his eyes, and it quickly concealed itself.
When he fixed his eyes on Ming Yu once again, that kind of gaze had already become somewhat different.
However, the change in Bai Qiushan's expression only lasted for a brief moment. It did not attract the attention of the other elders. On the contrary, the other elders said, "This Ming Yu is indeed very capable. However, I wonder if he can fight Kuang Renyu."
"Kuang Renyu, haha, this year's younger generation seems to have become more and more interesting."
An elder said, "Ming Yu has already obtained the capital to become one of the top four when he uses the Desolate Grade Martial Skill. He is a person with talent, this is absolutely true. However, Kuang Renyu was also a man with talent. In fact, it was even true that he was a man with talent. ... It's hard to say whether he's a human or not."
"Furthermore, the newly advanced Ye Wushang, at the age of eighteen, became a Sword Emperor who has mastered 3000 Sword Intent. He's truly extraordinary, and can be considered a Super Genius. Let's see how they'll deal with this final battle."
"Let's go."
In the next moment, Bai Qiushan rolled up his robe. In an instant, all the elders disappeared from the top of the clouds. They were like dark clouds in the horizon, suddenly suppressing the sky above the Battle Island. Almost instantly, there were a total of eighteen elders, with Bai Qiushan at the head. All of them had their hands behind their backs, forming a neat triangular formation. Just like that, they stood in the air.
The Eighteen Elders, the Three Luminaries in the center, with Bai Qiushan in the lead, were currently looking down below.
When the eighteen Elders appeared, all the noisy spectators quieted down. They felt some sort of indescribable pressure, like the pressure of space itself. The entire space seemed to freeze, and even breathing became heavy and difficult.
This... Was it the pressure that the Void Interpretation Stage expert had brought to this boundless sea of people, which was close to three hundred thousand spectators!?
Bai Qiushan opened his mouth, and his voice wasn't loud, yet it entered into everyone's ears:
"Everyone, from this, the top four of our Shining Edge Academy's Piercing Sky Competition have all been announced. Now, after the previous reshuffling, the order of the top four has also changed."
"They are respectively the fourth ranker of the Edgeless Sky Ranking and the Sword-Manipulated Divine Soldier Hall, Ye Wushang."
"Third ranked on the Ascensio Immortal Ranking: Sword Controlling Divine Soldier Hall, Zhen."
"Second place on the Ascendant Ranking, Sword-Manipulated Divine Soldier Hall, Ming Yu."
"And first place on the Edgeless Sky Ranking: Sword Controlling Divine Soldier Hall, Kuang Renyu."
"Next, the fourth place, the second place, and the second place will all be held three days later. Next, the host will announce the rules."
As soon as Bai Qiushan finished speaking, many people started whispering. They naturally did not dare to make a loud noise, because Bai Qiushan had appeared here. His might was extremely terrifying. They were even afraid that his voice would be too loud. It caused Bai Qiushan to be displeased. The threat of a Void Interpretation Stage expert actually didn't require words at all. Just the aura and deterrence were already completely enough.
Many people were naturally very puzzled as to why the last four to enter the second... And why did the two go in at the same time? Moreover, what kind of fine rules were there? There would be a battle three days later. Was it going to be decided so soon?!
For a moment, countless people were excited.
"Okay. Next, let me introduce you all."
The commentator was dressed in a clean white-gold brocade robe as he landed on the scene. He wrapped his voice with a Stellar Genuine Qi and said to the surrounding 300,000 spectators, "The next battle, our top four contestants will be held in the Hundred Ghost Howling Heavens."
"This time, in the Hundred Ghosts Heaven Howling Realm, the Shining Edge Academy will temporarily seal the three void devils. Therefore, there will only be a battle between the top four in the battlefield."
"Because the Hundred Ghosts Heaven Howling Realm has a vast territory, it is suitable for the participants to fight with their fists and legs. At the same time, because they were worried that the force of the attack would be too great, they might accidentally injure the audience. Therefore, they chose to hold this competition in the Hundred Ghosts Heaven Howling Realm. "
"Today, the first thing we need to do is draw lots. We have to decide who will be fighting in pairs among the top four. Secondly... In the Hundred Ghosts Howling Heaven Realm, the elders temporarily cleared the fog... At the same time that everyone had a clear vision, in the semifinals... The two contestants who broke out of the encirclement would only have one day to rest. After one day, these two contestants... Whether or not they recovered their vitality, they would have to participate in the final battle. Until the victor is decided! "
"And the final victor will directly activate the restrictions within the Hundred Ghosts Howling Firmament Realm. The most expensive reward for this year's Soaring Radiance Heaven Proclamation, the Meteor Sword Embryo, will all directly appear within the Hundred Ghosts Howling Firmament Realm. As for who the Meteorite Sword Embryo will fall to, we will wait and see! "
"Next, our top four competitors will be invited to take the stage and draw the final lot. Then, let's begin!"
For a moment, the crowd once again boiled up.
It turned out that the Meteor Sword Embryo was hidden somewhere in the Hundred Ghosts Howling Sky Realm. Only a true heaven chosen person had the qualifications to make it shine once more!
That was a treasure that countless people yearned for. Some powers that were surging in the dark seemed to have finally surfaced!
