Martial Emperor Reborn(Completed) - C996 Top 50
C996 Top 50
In order to ensure that he would be able to enter the top three, Lin Long did not go all out when facing these two, and even lost to one of them.
The final result was that he would happen to be ranked third and would be able to enter the next round.
“Although the Heavenly Demon Saber is very powerful, Lin Li’s display of strength is not convincing. Based on his performance, it will be very difficult for him to enter the top 20.”
“Yeah, among the new disciples, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. With Lin Li’s current performance, it is very difficult for him to achieve anything.”
Lin Long’s performance made many people comment this way.
Even Su Fei thought so, so when Lin Long finished the last match in the group, she immediately comforted him, “Junior Brother, you can go all out now, since you have just entered the Holy Gate, Master and Teacher Han Yueran will not ask for too much from you.”
Hearing Su Fei’s words, Lin Long only laughed, and did not say a word.
On the other side, seeing this situation, the tense expression on the face of Elder Yin became a little more relaxed.
How could he have known that Lin Long’s weakness was all an act?
Due to the excessive number of matches in the group, it took a full day to finish the match.
In this way, the following matches could only be held on the second day.
After that, nothing happened. Soon, it was the second day.
On the second day, everyone gathered at the training grounds of the Demonic Peak.
The difference was that there were more than a thousand people competing yesterday, but today, there were only a hundred and fifty.
The 150 people were divided into another ten groups. Each group had fifteen people, and each group could only have five people entering the next round.
This division was also based on the difference in strength, preventing powerful individuals from appearing in the same division.
Of course, this division was based on everyone’s usual strength. If someone was deliberately hiding their strength without being seen by the elders of the Devil Sect, it would be another story.
When the results of the division came out, Elder Yin’s face turned ugly, because it was difficult for him to get anyone to help the powerful ones that were split with Lin Long.
Like this, he could only hope that Lin Long could enter the next round.
However, in the bottom of his heart, he did not wish for Lin Long to enter the next round, because that would mean that Lin Long’s talent was not bad.
It could be said that his heart was filled with contradictions.
If he could enter the next round, he would directly cripple him so that he wouldn’t have any way to cultivate in the future. In the end, this thought directly emerged in his mind.
In this way, he would have to pay a great price. However, thinking about the fact that this was something that he would have to do, he felt at ease.
Although the average strength of the opponents in the group was stronger than the opponents in the previous round, it was not difficult for Lin Long. After all, the true strength of his devil arts had already reached the martial arts domination, and it was not something that these people could compare to.
However, Lin Long still did not show off his strength.
This situation naturally made Elder Yin satisfied, because Lin Long didn’t seem to be very talented and he just happened to be able to enter the next round, allowing him to find someone to deal with him.
And so, fifty people finally entered the next round.
As long as 20 people were present, 30 more would have to be eliminated.
“As most of you are already not too far apart in terms of strength, for this round, we will no longer split into groups and instead allow you fifty to fight in pairs. The victor will directly enter the next round. The 25 people who lost do not mean that they would be eliminated. After all, if they were to be eliminated just like that, it would be unfair to you.
“In other words, ten out of the twenty-five people who lost, and the remaining fifteen will enter the next round along with the twenty-five people who won. There will be a total of forty people, and then we will decide on twenty spots.”
The elders on the stage announced this rule.
Afterwards, he directly drew lots to decide who would be his opponent.
At this time, most of the fifty were nervous. After all, the strongest among them were only a few, and they didn’t want to run into such a strong opponent.
“Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, that Gu Ze was one of the few disciples who came in with the strongest aptitude and strength in the past two years.”
“That Zhao Deyun is one of them.”
“And that Liang Yong!”
“And that Lian Junwu!”
Beside Lin Long, Su Fei was introducing and introducing those five people to his. Out of the five, only one of them was a new disciple and the rest had already been in the devil sect for a year.
“Oh, which one of these five is the strongest?” Lin Long asked.
He naturally didn’t care about these five people. He was just asking casually.
“It should be Gu Ze, the way Gu Ze controls the Black Bone Palm doesn’t seem to be a match for him among the new disciples. Not only that, his spirit fire is also the extremely famous Blue Bone Devil Flame.”
“I have seen this Blue Bone Devil Flame before. It is indeed an extremely powerful Spiritual Flame. However, it is said that what I saw back then was not the strongest killing move of the Blue Bone Devil Flame. Junior Brother, you must be careful when encountering it.”
Su Fei explained in detail to Lin Long.
Just as Su Fei finished speaking, the drawing of lots on the stage also began.
The method for drawing the lots was very simple. On the stage was a black box with fifty bamboo sticks in it. Each bamboo stick had the identity of a disciple written on it.
The Elder who drew the lots reached into the black box and drew two sticks at a time. The people who were pulled out at the same time would compete as opponents.
This competition was not like the previous matches, where many black runes were flickering on top of the black box. Clearly, they were there to prevent the elder who drew the lots from cheating.
“The drawing of lots begins.”
As the other elder spoke, the elder in charge of drawing lots reached into the black box and pulled out two lots.
After pulling out the bamboo sticks, a person walked over from the side. The two of them picked up the bamboo sticks and looked at each other. Then, they both recited, “Wang Yu, disciple of Elder Mo, versus Hao Hong An, disciple of Elder Mo.”
Hearing this, Elder Wang’s disciple, Wang Yu’s face immediately turned bitter. The reason was simple, Hao Hong An’s strength was much stronger than his.
His companions naturally began to comfort him.
Putting aside the two bamboo sticks in his hand, the elder in charge of drawing the lots once again reached into the black box.
After taking out the two bamboo sticks, the elder picked up the bamboo sticks and started reading with him.
