MTL - Fantasy: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely-Chapter 396 unexpected raider

A middle-aged man with a majestic face stood on the high platform and said loudly:

“The next step is the challenge.”

“The fifty winners of the qualifiers will be divided into ten groups by drawing lots, with five people in each group competing in ten arenas.”

“The ten seeded players will serve as the initial champions of the ten stages, and the five challengers from the group will challenge them one by one. If all five challengers fail, the champion will be ranked among the top ten.”

“If any one person defeats the initial challenger, he will take the challenger’s place and accept the challenge of the other four people again until someone wins.”

 “Does everyone understand the rules?”

 The middle-aged man asked loudly.

"understand!"

 The fifty challengers, as well as the ten seeded players in the waiting area, responded with high spirits.

“Okay, then for the ten seeded players, please come to the stage to draw lots!”

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, the ten seeded players sitting next to the ring stood up and walked onto the high platform to draw lots under the spotlight.

 The middle-aged man counted the votes one by one, while another young man recorded the votes on a stone tablet next to him.

 “Miao Ce, No. 2!”

 “Shi Shuiyue, No. 6!”

 “Cai Liya, No. 5!”

 …

 “Jiang Hao, No. 1!”

“Okay, all the initial champions will be invited to board their respective arenas!”

 The middle-aged man looked at the other fifty challengers.

“Invite fifty challengers to the stage to draw lots!”

Everyone came on stage and started drawing lots, and ten groups were quickly assigned, and they went to their respective arenas to wait.

Each challenger’s eyes are full of eagerness to try.

Even if most people are not confident of winning the top ten, they still want to show their faces on such a grand occasion.

Jiang Heng and his two men's eyes fell on the No. 1 arena.

At this time, Jiang Hao was standing in the middle of the ring with a calm expression, waiting for the challenger to appear.

“Xiao Jiang Hao looks like a master now.”

“His five opponents are all in the early or mid-stage of Linghai Realm. Unless their martial arts are too different, there is no chance of defeating him.”

Hearing Jiang Heng's words, Wen Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Little Jiang Hao has mastered several perfect levels of heaven-level martial arts. He has an advantage over others in this aspect. I'm afraid those few people have no power to fight back."

 The fact is exactly what she said.

 After several challengers came on stage one after another, they were all defeated within three moves and were completely crushed.

 The onlookers cheered excitedly.

 “This boy is so strong! He deserves to be a seeded player!”

“That’s not true! This young man’s name is Jiang Hao. He is not only a seed player, but also one of the favorites to win the championship.”

 “How old is he? He looks quite immature.”

"I heard that he is only a teenager. He is the youngest among all the contestants and the most talented. Moreover, it is said that he has been booked as a core disciple of Tai Sui Mansion a few months ago."

 “Once you graduate, you will be a big shot!”

These words immediately caused a burst of exclamation.

To most civilians, members of the Tai Sui Mansion are high-ranking figures, and the status of the core disciples is equivalent to that of a senior garrison on a planet.

 This is already an achievement that no one can achieve in their lifetime.

 And the young man in the ring only has it in his teens.

This makes everyone feel that the gap between people is sometimes bigger than the gap between people and dogs!

 A corner of the square.

The three Blade tribe members looked at the high-spirited young men on the stage and listened to the comments and flattery around them. Their expressions were calm and indifferent, but occasionally there was a hint of fierceness in their eyes.

The arms as sharp as blades were exposed, faintly flowing with a cold light.

　　From the aesthetic point of view of most races, the Blade Tribe is like an ugly giant insect. In addition, they carry double knives with them, which are more piercing than hedgehogs, so the people around them are subconsciously alienated.

 It didn’t take long.

 The challenges of the other nine arenas have also ended one after another.

 As everyone expected, the final winners were all the seeded players.

  After all, every seed player is selected after a comprehensive evaluation by the academy’s top management, and already has absolute leading strength.

The middle-aged man in charge of hosting walked to the middle of the high platform again and said loudly:

“The duel has ended, and the top ten in this competition have been decided. They are Jiang Hao in the first stage, Miao Ce in the second stage, and Miao Ce in the third stage..."

 After he read out the top ten names one by one, he continued:

 “Let’s move on to the third stage—the promotion round!”

“The top ten contestants are invited to come on stage and draw lots for two rounds of duel. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated until the top three are selected after two rounds of duel!”

Amid the roaring cheers of the crowd, the ten people drew lots and the two-by-two duel began.

To ordinary people, such a battle filled with sword energy and surging spiritual energy can already be called fierce and dangerous, but in the eyes of Jiang Heng and the others, it is just ordinary.

 The competition is advancing rapidly.

 The two rounds of duel ended quickly.

 Two consecutive winners and one bye have become the top three.

 They are Jiang Hao, Cai Liya, and a young man named Kou Wenrui.

However.

When the three of them were preparing for the final round of the championship match, three figures suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and the sharp sword light flashed in mid-air.

Three huge sword energy shot out, targeting Jiang Hao and the other two people on the high platform.

This sudden change shocked many onlookers.

They never expected that someone would dare to openly attack the top three in such an important event as the college competition.

 This is simply a provocation to the entire Tai Sui Mansion.

Facing the sword energy, Jiang Hao and the other three were also shocked.

Even if they haven’t made contact yet, they can feel the powerful power contained in the attack.

 The opponents are at least experts in the Xuanzang realm!

　　It is at least two realms higher than them, and it is not something they can compete with at all.

 “This blow can’t be blocked!”

 Jiang Hao subconsciously had such an idea in his mind, but then he thought that his mother was watching his battle in the crowd. With her strong strength, she could definitely block the opponent's attack easily.

Think of this.

 Jiang Hao also felt confident.

Facing this unprecedentedly powerful blow, he became somewhat eager to try.

Since I won’t die, let me try how strong this blow is!

 At this time.

 The side of the high platform.

 The senior members of the academy and several members of the Tai Sui Mansion sitting on a dozen big chairs had calm expressions on their faces, as if they had expected this.

One of them moved and immediately appeared in mid-air, intercepting the three figures.

A wave of his right hand.

A big spiritual hand formed, crushing the three sword energies, and then grabbed the three incoming figures at the same time and flew back to the side of the high platform.

The middle-aged man in charge of hosting the competition came to the high platform.

“Don’t panic, everyone. The adults in Tai Sui Mansion have caught the troublemakers. Just continue watching the game.”
