Half a month later, half of the 172 contestants had been eliminated, and 86 people finally won.
Including Jian Chen who had a bye in the first round, there are still eighty-seven Immortal Emperors competing for the position of Thousand Immortal Generals.
Except for Jian Chen who was still in peak condition because he avoided a battle, the remaining eighty-six people were either suffering from minor or serious injuries, or their cultivation power had been greatly depleted.
The competition for official positions in Qingtian City is like this. In addition to testing one's own strength, it also tests one's own heritage and luck. If there are not enough magic pills or heavenly materials and earthly treasures to restore oneself, it will be difficult to reach the end.
Personal heritage and luck are also regarded as a manifestation of strength.
After the first round, there was a three-day rest period. Except for Jian Chen, all the contestants sat cross-legged on the spot to recover and put themselves in the best condition possible.
Everyone is racing against time!
Unknowingly, three days had passed, and another large white ball of light emerged above everyone's heads, no more, no less, a total of eighty-seven.
The moment these light balls appeared, all the contestants with their eyes closed and cross-legged opened their eyes one after another, and their eyes were focused on dozens of light balls.
"Eighty-seven people. In this second round of competition, there is another lucky person who has a bye. I just don't know who it will be this time..."
"In the first battle, all of us were very exhausted, and it is difficult to return to the peak in such a short period of time. Therefore, the significance of this second round bye is very important. Whoever can get a bye in the second round can take advantage of it." While others are fighting, they slowly restore their strength to its peak in the audience..."
Many Immortal Emperors had fiery looks in their eyes. Obviously, for them, the significance of a bye in the second round was more important than the first round.
"Hahahaha, if someone's opponent is that Sixth Heavenly One, it won't be a bye, but what's the difference between it and a bye?" In the crowd, an Immortal Emperor let out a strange laugh.
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes fell on Jian Chen again, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared on the corners of their mouths.
"Fellow Taoist Changyang, I hope that in the second round of the battle, the two of us can appear on the same stage together." A middle-aged strong man chuckled, with a hint of ill-intentioned look.
"Okay, I also hope to discuss with fellow Taoists. Let's see if we have this fate." Jian Chen looked at the middle-aged man and smiled heartily. He immediately took the lead and directly grabbed a Photosphere.
The middle-aged man was startled. He just wanted to tease this unreasonable casual cultivator, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so simply. But then the smile on the middle-aged man's face grew stronger, he clasped his fists in the air and said, "Since fellow Taoists from Changyang have agreed, Master Qi Ling, I hope you can help us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man grabbed a light ball and crushed it without hesitation. Suddenly, a golden number floated in front of him.
"Immortal Emperor Lishan, you are also a well-known figure in the Taiji Heaven Realm. How could you be so shameless today to bully a casual cultivator whose realm is far inferior to yours." An old man in Taoist robes said to the middle-aged man, He seemed extremely disdainful of the middle-aged man's move.
The middle-aged man, known as the Immortal Emperor of Lishan, his face darkened, and he stared at the old man in Taoist robes with an unkind look on his face, saying: "Master Shangqing, what do I, Lishan, do, it is your turn to point fingers here, and don't dare to talk nonsense. , believe it or not, I will blow your head off in the ring, get out!"
"Blow the poor Taoist's head off? I'm afraid you, Immortal Emperor Lishan, don't have this ability yet." Master Shangqing said with a smile, confronting Immortal Emperor Lishan. The two of them have obviously been enemies for many years.
"Crack!"
At this moment, the ball of light in Jian Chen's hand was crushed. Immortal Emperor Lishan, who was about to continue arguing with Zhenren Shangqing, subconsciously turned his gaze to the ball of light in Jian Chen's hand.
However, Immortal Emperor Lishan soon showed a look of astonishment on his face.
I saw the ball of light in Jian Chen's hand shattering, but it was empty, with no numbers flying out.
In this second round, he actually got a bye again!
"Another bye, this...how is this possible?" Immortal Emperor Lishan lost his mind for a while.
This time, Jian Chen suddenly became the focus of the field again. Those Immortal Emperors who were not interested in him at first also turned their attention to Jian Chen.
The first bye can be said to be luck.
But having two byes in a row is a bit intriguing.
There have been countless competitions for official positions in Qingtian City, and it is extremely rare in history for people to be able to qualify for byes twice in a row.
"This casual cultivator must have been secretly cared for by the weapon spirit of Qingtian City..."
At this moment, many immortal emperors who participated in the war had such thoughts in their hearts. Although some people felt that it was unfair, they did not dare to complain.
Because no one dares to question Qingtian City!
Even those Immortal Emperors from heaven-level forces would not dare!
Jian Chen's expression was also somewhat dazed. At this moment, he could finally be sure that Qingtian City's weapon spirit had indeed given him some care.
Soon, the second round of battle officially started. Except for Jian Chen, the remaining eighty-six Immortal Emperors were arranged in the forty-three ancient battlefields.
This round of elimination took twenty days, and the battles that took place on forty-three arenas finally came to an end. Almost all of the forty-three winners were injured, and some even had their auras changed. They were so weak that they raced against time to recover as soon as they came out of the ring.
Immortal Emperor Lishan was also seriously injured. There was a huge penetrating wound on his chest, his heart was shattered, and his face turned pale.
Even the Heavenly Court level force, Xia Mingtian of Xianyu Sect, is not in optimistic condition.
After all, every contestant is not simple and has a huge background. Even if there is a gap between them, they are far from overwhelming.
Among the forty-four people, only Jian Chen was intact and still in peak condition.
Moreover, he watched everyone's battles from the sidelines and basically understood the methods of these people.
A few days later, the third round of battle draws began.
However, there were no byes in this round, so Jian Chen inevitably participated in the battle.
"Whoever can be assigned to those casual cultivators from the Sixth Heaven will have an advantage in the fourth round of battle and have a great chance of winning the final victory..."
Many people are eyeing Jian Chen, the contestant with the lowest level.
In the end, after the light ball drawing, Jian Chen's opponent turned out to be Immortal Emperor Lishan!
"Hahahaha, fellow Taoist Changyang, I didn't expect that you would be my opponent in this round. Don't worry, I will be gentler and let you leave with dignity." Immortal Emperor Lishan was extremely happy and couldn't help shouting. smiled.
A meaningful smile appeared on Jian Chen's face, and he entered one of the arenas without saying anything.
"Lishan is really lucky. He can get through this third round effortlessly. It probably won't take more than a few rounds. He will have more recovery time than any of us."
