Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 816 - 483: The Crown Prince_2

Chapter 816: Chapter 483: The Crown Prince_2

According to the rules, Snow Wood was allowed to rest for a moment, but she directly chose to refuse, which once again surprised everyone. Unless one had absolute confidence in their own strength, who would give up such an excellent opportunity to recover their energy? The crowd couldn’t help but gasp. Could it be that Snow Wood’s strength was even greater? Had she hardly expended any effort against those two earlier?

While the crowd was pondering, the battle between the two had already begun. Snow Wood displayed her Divine Skill with fierce prowess, sending her opponent flying four or five steps back, especially when she unleashed her strongest Divine Skill. Many of the watching Powerhouses changed their expressions, indeed worthy of someone from the Snow Sky Sect, one of the Three Great Sects; such profound strength was truly formidable.

Although her realm was at the Saint Seat Seventh Level, her true realm was at the Saint Seat Eighth Level. Furthermore, after using this move and Secret Technique, her power was definitely not inferior to a Quasi-Saint Emperor. Everyone felt relieved, thankful they hadn’t challenged Snow Wood. Even if their realms were to increase by two or three times, they could at most only exchange ten moves with her.

After ten moves, they would surely lose. Even Cooper Nango, who had fought just before, probably fell far short compared to Snow Wood. Cooper Nango, known as the strongest combat power among the young generation in the south, was apparently only so. The disciples of the Great Sects had been concealing their cultivation levels all along. Now, just any individual emerging among them could make many Half-step Saint Emperors feel fear and embarrassment.

Logan was full of admiration as well. Snow Wood’s realm had reached the Saint Seat Eighth Level, and at this level, no one in the younger generation could match her. Even if Logan did not rely on the Spirit Gathering Array, even if one day he himself reached the Saint Seat Eighth Level, facing Snow Wood, he would likely not have the slightest advantage.

Snow Wood’s Secret Technique was tremendously powerful, not only knocking her opponent out but also rushing towards the spectators. In the nick of time, the City Lord intervened, successfully stopping everything. The several thousand onlookers opposite Snow Wood were left with their hearts in their throats, feeling that the earlier move could have easily killed them all.

After winning against three contenders, Snow Wood also secured a spot for advancement. There were now eight people remaining, but as the strength of these eight was considerable, no one dared to challenge them. It was only after a long while that someone stepped forward, a Young Master from a Great Sect.

With one person taking the lead, many quickly chose to challenge. In this way, an hour passed, and dozens more had contended for advancement. However, as people continued to advance, none of the initially predicted ten strongest were left, with only one contender remaining who could issue a challenge.

Seeing that there were still over a hundred contenders on the field, the City Lord had no choice but to select again the ten with the strongest predicted combat power, allowing the hundred-plus contenders to continue another round of competition. After dozens of bouts, several more advanced, and those without challengers obtained their spot for advancement as well.

Thus, from over two hundred people, only thirty remained. For the semi-finals, ten out of these thirty had to be selected. After going through the preliminary and repechage rounds, each remaining contender was already very strong, with absolutely no chance of having relied on luck or constant scheming and plots.

As for the rules of the semi-finals, the City Lord had already thought it through. He wanted to ensure that the finals would be the most fair, and it was necessary that they showcased the strongest combat power among the younger generation. To see the strength of the younger generation, this martial arts tournament was destined to shine in the history of the Southern Desolation.

“The rules for the semi-finals. Out of the thirty contenders, ten will be selected. That means three people will eliminate two, and the elimination rate will be over sixty percent. But I believe every one of you has the strength. However, the rules of the subsequent competition will be cruel. I hope everyone is mentally prepared in advance.”

“In the semi-finals, three people will form a group, and only the strongest person from each group will be chosen. As for whether or not you’ll be grouped with a Strong One, everything will be completely random, so please don’t blame anyone. After all, the difference in your strengths is not large, and even if you were grouped with weaker contenders, wouldn’t you still lose in the finals?”

“Of course, to make the fight a bit more interesting for everyone, I also want to reveal some information about the Saint Emperor opportunity. This opportunity among the Saint Emperor Powerhouses belongs to the very best, but where exactly it excels, based on my research and speculation over these days, I’ve discovered this opportunity exists at the ninth level of Saint Emperor, and it has even reached one step into a higher threshold.”

“What lies above the Saint Emperor Powerhouse’s realm, I actually don’t know,” Logan said. “In the entire Outer Domain, only a few could possibly reach it. There are legends of several hidden powerhouses who are of this realm, but even among the Saint Emperors in the Outer Domain, there are but a few; the realms above the Holy Land are shrouded in truth and myths.”

“In any case, this opportunity related to the Saint Emperor is very precious. Once obtained, it will not necessarily make one instantly soar to great heights, but at the very least, it ensures a limitless future. Many disciples from the Great Sects even intend to conceal their true strength, but I personally think there is no need. Naturally, the opportunity linked to the Saint Emperor is of utmost importance.”

After the City Lord finished speaking, it naturally sparked a huge sensation. An opportunity concerning the Saint Emperor was extremely precious, not to mention the realms above that of a Saint Emperor Powerhouse. Everyone was incredibly eager because obtaining it would definitely make one a powerhouse of this region in the future.

In the presence of thousands of spectators, the elders from the Great Sects were even more anxious. It was okay if the younger generation from their sects didn’t win first place, and there was no need to blame anyone, but now it was different. They were fighting not just for personal gains but for the entire Sect.

Hence, some of the strong ones from the Great Sects were now considering how to ensure victory for the younger generation, even if it meant resorting to unscrupulous methods, or being laughed at by the entire Southern Desolation. After all, participating in the martial competition meant that one’s cultivation level could not be enhanced any further, as this was not something achievable overnight.

However, they could provide divine weapons and Divine Skills. The rules only stipulated that the younger generation could participate in the competition, but it didn’t prohibit them from using higher-level divine weapons, right? If they pulled out all the stops from their sects’ reserves, they didn’t believe they couldn’t win first place. After all, as long as they could win, no price was too great.

Meanwhile, for the lesser sects, this opportunity was equally coveted. However, they also felt a touch of despair, knowing full well that the Great Sects were determined to obtain it, and they stood no chance at all. After all, their disciples paled in comparison to those from the Great Sects.

Even if they had similar cultivation levels, the disparity between the sects was too great, and they couldn’t offer much in terms of foundation. Even if they managed a lucky win, could they defend the Saint Emperor opportunity after leaving Heavenly Moon City? The larger sects would definitely join forces and come after them, and their small sects would probably collapse within an hour.

Logan was also very troubled by this turn of events; it became difficult for him to take first place. Initially, relying on the Spirit Gathering Array, he had a 90% chance of winning, but now that all the sects were aware of the immense potential of the Saint Emperor opportunity, who would willingly stand aside? The strength of these disciples would surely be boosted in various ways.

His Spirit Gathering Array just wasn’t powerful enough, especially after consuming too many Top-Grade Spirit Stones in the previous two battles and not having enough to spend thereafter. What should he do next?

Logan had to seize the Saint Emperor opportunity. It had been nearly half a month since his arrival in the Outer Domain, and his realm was still at the Saint Seat Second Level, far from what he had envisioned. If he continued at this pace, even after ten years, it would not be easy to excel among the younger generation’s elite.

After much deliberation, Logan looked up at the City Lord on the platform above. The only one he could rely on was him. After all, he still held the identity of a Grandmaster political officer; the City Lord would undoubtedly give him face. If he could borrow a billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, then winning first place wouldn’t be a difficult task.

With a billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, combined with the efficiency of the Spirit Gathering Array, Logan was confident that he could withstand a Quasi-Saint Emperor and completely dominate the younger generation of powerhouses.
