Chapter 89
Chapter 89 – Fighting Stage No. 8
The appearance of a dark horse is always satisfying to watch. The spirits of the people in the Whirling Sun Square was boiling. The young man whose name was Jiang Chen had just created a miracle. At the same time, many people were starting to worry for Jiang Chen’s safety. It was obvious that Jiang Chen had offended Nan Bei Chao and Liang Xiao, and neither of these two men are someone who can be easily dealt with, especially Nan Bei Chao, a rising star of the Qi Province who is both prideful and arrogant.
All the disciples of the four big sects were looking at Jiang Chen with mixed emotions. Jiang Chen’s performance had made them all lose face. The Qi Province competition had been held for so many years, and this was the first time that the first place had been taken away by an outsider.
The first round of the competition had been concluded, and the second round was coming. The intense competition would take place on a fighting stage, and this is what most people were looking forwards to, because the real genius would be able to become the king of the fighting stage. Although Jiang Chen had taken first place in the first round, when it comes to the fighting stage, no one was optimistic about him. Being able to resist some pressure doesn’t really mean that you have great combat strength.
“The first round of the competition has ended. All top 30 participants proceed to the fighting stage.”
Nan Bei Chao opened his mouth and spoke. The four big geniuses moved their bodies and flew up into the air, then they landed on a high tower in the center of the square. In front of the tower, fifteen 2 meter tall fighting stages had been built, just enough for the 30 participants.
These fighting stages are designed and prepared exclusively for the Qi Province competition, and the program for the Qi Province competition is the same as the previous years. 30 participants will be fighting each other on the fighting stage 1 on 1. The 15 fighting stages is enough for 30 participants.
30 participants who stood near the Stairway to Heaven all walked together towards the fighting stages. All of them were in high fighting spirits.
Jiang Chen flipped the plate in his hands, ‘eight’ was written on it. This means that the other person who had ‘eight’ on his plate would be his opponent, and they would be fighting on the eighth fighting stage.
The draw looked fair, but it was secretly being controlled. In a normal situation, those from the same sect wouldn’t meet each other on the stage, and they would only be fighting people from other sects. If it wasn’t like this, then the competition would lose its meaning.
“I’ll tell you all once more about the rules on these fighting stages. The fights will be deathmatches, and the only way to escape death is to surrender. I won’t talk too much about the relationship between the four big sects, but if you have the ability, then kill your opponent without even giving him the chance to surrender.” Nan Bei Chao said with a cruel expression.
This was the rule of the Qi Province competition. There’s only life and death on the fighting stage, and the only chance for the loser to survive would be to surrender.
“I’m number 9, who is my opponent?”
“Father is number one, fuck it, who is father’s opponent? Come die quickly!”
A muscular man jumped up onto the first fighting stage and shouted out arrogantly. He was from the Burning Sky Pavilion, and he was a Late Mortal Core warrior. His face was filled with arrogance, but the next second, when he saw who his opponent was, the arrogance disappeared from his face, and his imposing aura immediately disappeared. It felt like his bitter face was about to drop to the floor.
Because, the man who stood in front of him was none other than the Little Devil King.
“Damn it, father’s luck is really bad…. I surrender.”
The muscular man cursed, then he turned around and jumped down from the fighting stage. The speed was even greater than the speed of him jumping up to the stage. Although he was arrogant, he still knew his limits. Fighting the Little Devil King, that’s no different than committing suicide.
The Burning Sky Pavilion lost one man. The rest of the men started jumping onto the fighting stages. On the eighth fighting stage, a disciple who wore a Heavenly Sword Sect uniform jumped onto the stage.
