Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 815 - 483: The Crown Prince

Chapter 815: Chapter 483: The Crown Prince

Logan secured one of the semifinal spots, adding many unknowns to this martial arts tournament, especially since Logan was a Grandmaster Formation Master. In the entire history of the Southern Desolation, this truly was a first, a lower-realm Array Master overcoming a disparity of seven or eight levels to defeat an opponent.

The remaining competitors naturally set their sights on the other nine, as there were originally ten slots but now only nine remained, increasing the pressure on each individual.

Lacking the formidable strength of Logan, the only option was to fight by the book three times. After considering for a moment, everyone set their target on Snow Wood.

Previously chosen as one of the top ten in combat power, each person’s realm had been at the Saint Seat Eighth Level, or at least a quasi-Eighth Level, except for Snow Wood who was the only one at the Saint Seat Seventh Level. Although realm doesn’t necessarily equate to combat power, most of the time realm is a representation of one’s strength, and people like Logan were too few.

Even if one were to take a step back, Snow Wood came from one of the three Great Sects, Snow Sky Sect, which was known for its amiability. Eliminating Snow Wood wouldn’t invite enmity, considering that not many came from a Great Sect. If they eliminated a disciple of a Great Sect, what if there were repercussions in the fall?

In Heavenly Moon City, everyone adhered to the rules, but outside the city it was a different story. Thus, despite the seeming fairness of the martial arts tournament, many had reservations. Perhaps it was only the disciples from the Great Sects who could fight without worries, not having to consider so many obligations and social complications.

Faced with dozens of challengers, Snow Wood couldn’t help but feel helpless. After all, she had no right to refuse them.

Therefore, she could only look to the City Lord and asked, “I need to fight three people? But now dozens have come forth, whom shall I fight? There must be some rule, right?”

The City Lord was naturally taken aback, indeed not having considered this aspect. The question was whether to adopt a first-come-first-served approach, or did Snow Wood have the right to choose her own opponents?

“You may choose yourself!” the City Lord thought for a moment before responding. If Snow Wood didn’t have this right, and it was based on a first-come-first-served basis, then if the three strongest came first, wouldn’t that be unfair to Snow Wood? After all, being one of the top ten in terms of combat power, she was already at a disadvantage.

Snow Wood sighed in relief. If she could pick her opponents, her chances of winning greatly increased. She could simply choose the three weakest. Most of the dozens present were at the Saint Seat Seventh Level, but there were a few at the Saint Seat Sixth Level, who were clearly there just to try their luck.

So, without hesitation, Snow Wood chose three contenders from the Saint Seat Sixth Level. Would it be embarrassing to fight the Sixth Level as a Seventh? This consideration didn’t fall into Snow Wood’s worries at all. Although she was from one of the three Great Sects, the Snow Sky Sect, succeeding in the tournament and achieving a high ranking was the real skill.

As for the means used, or the victories that were not honorable, how many would care? The logic of “The winner is king, and the loser is the outcast” applied everywhere. Besides, this was only the preliminary round. The semi-finals and final were yet to come, where strength could be proven. Snow Wood had no qualms whatsoever.

The three who were picked were naturally delighted, much preferring to fight Snow Wood instead of the others. Even though all nine remaining contenders were at the Saint Seat Seventh Level, they still believed Snow Wood to be the weaker one. That she was ranked in the top ten in terms of combat power was indeed surprising.

Only a few insightful people sighed, sure that those who challenged Snow Wood would meet their doom. After all, Snow Wood was from one of the three Great Sects, the Snow Sky Sect, and was also the Sect’s Young Master. How could such a person be simple? Although her realm appeared to be only at the Saint Seat Seventh Level, her true combat power must be terrifying.

Moreover, before coming here, the Sect had undoubtedly endowed Snow Wood with many Divine Skills. These were things far beyond what the others could fathom. Therefore, these insightful individuals did not wish to fight against Snow Wood at all. Instead, they preferred to choose opponents from smaller sects. Disciples from smaller sects might have a higher realm, but their combat power was usually lower, because they lacked the Divine Skills and Divine Weapons that the Great Sects possessed.

In the fight with the first person, it took Snow Wood only ten moves to make her opponent powerless to fight back. Sensing a glimpse of her killing intent, he wisely conceded defeat. The next two, despite being astonished by the scene, still harbored a significant amount of confidence.

During the second match, Snow Wood displayed even greater strength compared to the first. With merely three moves, she inflicted more than a dozen wounds on her opponent, who could feel that she was still concealing her true power, using only about sixty to seventy percent of her strength. How could anyone hope to defeat someone like that? Thus, the second person also chose to concede defeat.

As for the third person, witnessing the other two’s crushing defeat completely sapped their confidence. How was this possible? The first two were not inferior to him in strength, and to some extent, he was even slightly weaker if it came to a life-or-death struggle. Seeing their utter defeat at the hands of Snow Wood, could he truly hope to win?

But if he gave up, he would be eliminated from the martial arts tournament and lose the chance at the Saint Emperor’s opportunity, which was hard to bear. On second thought, Snow Wood had already fought two matches in a row. Even though the rules permitted a twenty-minute rest, he still had a significant advantage.

He didn’t believe Snow Wood could recover so quickly, and there was a chance that she was injured in the previous matches but didn’t show it. If he conceded, wouldn’t he be a complete fool? So, after pondering for a while, the third person decisively chose to fight.
