Chapter 160: Xuan Jun's Authority, Sole Arbiter of the Dry Goods
Everyone in front of their eyes suddenly saw a flower, and they didn't feel any mysterious power fluctuations. They only saw the white-haired and withered Wei Lao Yuanzhu take a step forward and arrive beside Yu Xuanyu.
That transparent long snake born purely from aura silently dispersed. Wei Yuan's head shook as he looked towards the spectator seats.
That man had just made his move, disturbing the Yu Xuanyu who was about to ascend to the Jinjie stage. The hairs on Xuan Zong's body stood on end, as if he was being stared at by a giant ancient beast! He let out a loud cry, jumped up from his seat, and a giant python, Xuan Ling, rose up from under his feet, then rushed towards the outside of Lianyun Peak.
"Stay behind."
Wei Yuanzi lightly said three words, in an instant the mysterious power surged, the three words were like three transparent flying knives, shooting out!
One sword, shattered the grand momentum of Xuanzong! Two swords, beheaded the true spirit of Xuanning! Three swords, severed that person's head!
Until blood gushed out of the hole a foot high, and a bloody rain poured down, everyone in the field came to their senses, one by one, as if they had been petrified!
"What does this mean!" The one who was killed by the three-word decree, Xuan Zong with the surname Su, was an elder expert from the Su family of Donglai City. Now he had been beheaded, and Su Xuan Jun, the old ancestor of the Su family, who was sitting on the jade throne, immediately asked in a stern tone.
"This is Haiyun Mountain." The withered body of the Wei Institute Master turned back, floating lightly away, leaving Yuexuan Rain to condense the Xuanling there. But this time, no one dared to intervene again.
A master of the Xuanzong, one sentence can kill, this is how strong the cultivation is, how profound the realm is! It's said that this Wei Yuanzhai has the combat power of a Junhou, it seems it's not an exaggeration.
Dark clouds gather at the crown, black fog churns, and suddenly a lightning bolt flashes, a majestic and powerful thunderclap condenses into a silver-white dragon with sharp claws! The dragon's scales shine brightly, swallowing and spitting out black fog, quite lively and vivid.
"This little girl, where did she ever think of the existence of such a creature as the Jiaolong?" Emperor Xuanzong was secretly shocked. "Jiaolong can only exist in certain remote and ancient lands, spiritual mountains and great swamps, it is absolutely a demonic beast of the same level as the masters of the Mystic King and Mystic Emperor."
These people didn't know that Yu Xuanyu had just been shattered by the infinite domineering intent of the Broken Sky Overlord's spear, transforming into a black dragon that charged straight at her mind. Although it was only a fleeting glance, it left behind an indelible spiritual imprint. She now carried the prestige of having defeated a powerful enemy, her spirit elevated, and with a sudden breakthrough on the battlefield, she transformed into a python dragon with unprecedented ease.
Pieces of the mysterious stone were taken out, drained of their mystical energy and discarded underground. Soon, a small pile of discarded stone residue was placed on the arena floor. At the same time, the surrounding heaven and earth's mystical aura also rushed in rapidly, pouring into Yu Xuan's body.
"This girl is gifted with a unique talent, gathering her innate mysterious spirit, and has actually extracted such a vast amount of mysterious energy. She will definitely be a legendary figure in the future!" The group stage matches have already ended in the other seven arena areas, and the 16 outstanding contestants who emerged from them will accompany more than 20 seeded players to participate in the final selection.
After a stick of incense, the black fog dispersed. The silver thunder dragon that had just taken shape suddenly rushed into Yuexuan's body. The thunderous waves of Xuan Qi fluctuated wildly before returning to normal.
Yu Xuan's body rose from the ground, and a series of cracking sounds erupted from her bones as her physical strength increased by more than double its original amount!
"Congratulations, Xuan Yu," Le Ting stepped forward with a smile, "Everyone is waiting for you now, hurry back to the contestant area and wait for the final selection."
Yu Xuan Yu was somewhat dazed and only reacted after hearing these words, hastily jumping down from the dueling arena.
The eyes of the other contestants, looking at Yu Xuanyu, all carried a hint of solemnity, apparently this talented girl had already become a hot contender for promotion to the final selection, and was a stumbling block for many people!
"Next, the final selection," said Wei Yuan's voice, flat and calm, without any indication that he had just killed a Xuanzong.
"The 61 contestants, including the seeded players and the winners of the group stage, will produce the final ten candidates for the Heaven's Chosen Ones."
"Wei Yuan, do you know the rules for the final match?" A Xuan Jun spoke up, his voice thundering like a clap of thunder. "Also, since the competition has progressed to this point, there is still one who has yet to arrive. Should we cancel his qualification?"
Wei Yuanzhi said faintly: "The final chapter is very simple."
Wei Institute's grand sleeve unfolded, the mysterious technique that isolated the high platform was withdrawn by him, and the eight arena regions merged into one place, becoming a single large-scale arena.
"Any talented youngster can voluntarily go on stage and become a champion. Any champion, as long as they win three consecutive matches, will secure a spot in the top ten!"
The voice of Wei Institute's master, with the support of Xuanli, was clearly audible throughout the entire Lianyun Peak.
"It's not quite fair," a low voice said, "If the top ten winners on stage all win three rounds and eliminate thirty people, does that mean the competition ends directly? You have to know that only forty people participated in the trial, and there are still twenty-one people who haven't gone on stage."
"There's another possibility, that is, the champion wins two games in a row, but then gets defeated by a third person, and so on, how can we even choose the top ten?" Another mysterious king laughed.
Wei Yuan's eyelids didn't even lift, and he said lightly: "Everyone has come to watch the ceremony, but you have no right to make decisions, be careful." Then he raised his voice: "Now, the final match officially begins. Who is willing to go on stage first and become the champion?"
A group of talented young people, you look at me, I look at you, for a moment, unexpectedly no one dares to go on stage!
The master of Wei sat slowly down on a jade throne, closed his eyes and meditated, seemingly without any worries.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xuan Yu lightly shouted: "I'm coming!" She raised her halberd and flew high into the air, heavily landing on the stage, smashing the bluestone stage with cracks.
This was not Yu Xuan Yu's intention, but the weight of the Po Tian Ba Wang Halberd was too heavy. After recovering to the Quan Tian stage, this halberd already weighed over 300 jin. Fortunately, Yu Xuan Yu had innate divine strength and could swing it with ease.
"You have been promoted and become one of the top ten." Wei Yuanzong said lightly, his eyes still closed.
Yu Xuan was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, when he suddenly heard the audience below erupting like a boiling pot, thunderously shouting: "How could this be! She hasn't even fought one match, how can she advance?"
The special envoy of the Daliang City, Haiyun teacher He Fei Xuanzong stood up and bowed respectfully to Wei Yuanzhong: "Master Yuan, this seems inappropriate. You announced the rules beforehand that the champion must win three consecutive games to advance to the top ten. How can Yuexu rain advance without a single game?"
Next to Donglai City, Xuangong shouted: "That's right! That's exactly what it is!"
"Hai Yun San chose, can't have such a big dark curtain!"
The shouting voices rose and fell, Hai Yue suddenly stood up and said: "He Fei, you are so bold, dare to question the master's decision? Hai Yun was chosen by the master with one word, anyone who dares to question is challenging the authority of Hai Yun Academy!"
Everyone fell silent, this hat came down, and no family in Donglai City, including the royal family, could afford it.
Wei Yuanzhong slowly opened his eyes and glanced at He Fei, who felt a chill run down his spine.
"He Fei has stepped down as the teacher of Haiyun, and will be leaving Mojie City to take up the position of Chief of the Mojie Branch." Wei Yuanzhu said calmly, but his words carried an unyielding authority.
