Chapter 548 One Step Away
"start!"
"Bang!"
A figure flew back at lightning speed.
"*&%￥, that was really heavy-handed!" Kevassen almost choked on his breath.
"Haha~~ You've already admitted defeat and gotten beaten up, haven't you? Watch me avenge you." Contestant number 40 strode towards the ring.
Three minutes later.
"Bang!"
Another figure flew back; it was contestant number 40.
"Huh, who just said they were going to avenge me?" Kevason asked curiously.
Number 40 rubbed his chest as he got up. "My injury from yesterday hasn't fully healed, so I didn't perform well."
"Have you no shame? You used my words, didn't you?"
While the two were arguing, the third contestant had already entered the fray.
The result remained unchanged.
Half an hour passed.
The fighter on the stage is contestant number 21, who is quite strong and is going to have a good fight with the veteran members. However, it is clear to everyone that it is only a matter of time before number 21 is defeated.
Because Number 21 had used all his basic methods, while the veteran members were still handling things with ease.
as predicted.
One minute later, number 21 was too exhausted to continue and conceded defeat.
"Thanks!"
On the 21st, he thanked the veteran team member, who could tell that the team member had not only gone easy on him but also practiced moves with him.
"You're welcome. Your strength is impressive. After entering the fifth level, cultivate diligently, and I believe you will be able to enter the sixth level in less than five years."
Number 21 clasped his hands in a fist salute and left the ring.
then.
It was Xiao Weiqing's turn.
So far, no one has defeated the veteran members and entered the battle to ascend to heaven. Everyone is eagerly anticipating Xiao Weiqing's battle.
Xiao Weiqing walked to the center of the arena without expression.
A man with short hair, a burly build, and carrying a long spear walked towards us.
"I've heard you possess a domain, and Ayral said your soul is very powerful. Let me see what you're capable of."
Xiao Weiqing didn't speak, but reached out and took out Wan Jie from his spatial equipment.
No nonsense.
The two simultaneously unleashed their source power and charged at each other.
"It's started. I wonder if Button can defeat Xiao Weiqing." The veteran members discussed the battle between the two.
"It's unlikely. The opponent possesses a domain; we're probably going to lose."
"Elar, what do you think?"
Ayral stared intently at Xiao Weiqing, "I have a feeling Xiao Weiqing will win."
"You think highly of him? He was ranked 20th in the ring round-robin tournament, so he probably just recently grasped the domain. I think Button has a chance."
"Just keep watching and you'll find out."
The two had already collided in the center of the arena.
The man with the gun did not underestimate Xiao Weiqing and struck first, his spear moving with lightning speed as he thrust it at Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed, halting his forward momentum, and he used Wan Jie to deflect the spear.
The gunman had clearly anticipated this and immediately changed tactics, continuing his attack on Xiao Weiqing. In less than a second, he thrust out several shots.
"Clang! Clang!!"
The sound of weapons clashing came from the center of the arena.
"This Xiao Weiqing is amazing. He blocked Button's attack with just a knife."
"Indeed very strong, the swordsmanship is unexpectedly strong, and each move has a hint of an inexplicable artistic conception. Button has never been able to get a chance."
"Hmm? Button's getting anxious."
On the arena, Button, unable to break through Xiao Weiqing's defenses, frowned deeply. Xiao Weiqing's swordsmanship was like a tortoise shell, making it impossible for him to attack. No matter what kind of attack he launched, it was all neutralized.
"Hmph, I don't believe it!"
Button swept his way through the air and flew back several kilometers.
"This move will defeat you!"
A terrifying burst of source power erupted, blue lightning crackled from the tip of the spear, and the next second, Button vanished from the arena.
"So fast!"
Xiao Weiqing's pupils contracted. He only saw a blurry image and dared not be careless. With a thought, he opened his golden domain.
Button saw the golden area ahead but showed no fear, and his figure became even faster.
"So what if it's a domain? I learned this ultimate technique precisely to deal with domains."
"Here it comes, Button's trump card: ultimate speed."
"Aila, be careful. A level one domain might not be enough to stop him. You need to save Xiao Weiqing in time."
Alar's lips curled up. "With Lord Dekar here, how could anything go wrong?"
However, she was also curious to know whether Button could defeat Xiao Weiqing. She had experienced that ultimate move before and knew its power.
In the center of the arena.
A blue streak of light pierced the golden domain.
"Mountain Elephant!!"
Boom~~
The blue streak of light flew backward at an even faster speed. Before it even hit the ground, the arena around Button was shattered, and he became somewhat disoriented.
Eral leaped and caught Button; otherwise, at that speed, Button would have fallen off the ring and into space, becoming cosmic dust.
"hiss!"
The veteran members gasped in shock.
"Goodness, that's ruthless. He knocked Button away head-on."
"With this guy's strength, how could he be ranked 20th? Also, who did he lose to in the arena round-robin tournament? Could it be one of those other two monsters?"
"Stop guessing. Xiao Weiqing encountered Leibo, who also has a domain, in the arena round-robin tournament. The two did not fight to the death. After a tentative exchange, Xiao Weiqing conceded defeat, which is why he was ranked 20th."
"I see."
"Burton, are you alright?" Eral asked.
"Cough~ cough~~" Button swallowed the blood back down his throat. "I'm fine." Although he said he was fine, the shock in Button's eyes lingered for a long time.
He knew that Xiao Weiqing had held back, otherwise he would not have been injured. Moreover, he was certain that Xiao Weiqing had not recently mastered this field.
"Okay, then you should rest for a while." Eral nodded.
"The game continues, number 19."
Xiao Weiqing returned to the edge of the arena.
"Xiao Weiqing, your strength is even greater than I expected. I look forward to fighting you again." Leibo was full of fighting spirit.
The other contestants who possessed domains also looked over. As the only contestant with a domain but ranked 20th, Xiao Weiqing's strength was initially thought to be just so-so.
Now it seems they were wrong; Xiao Weiqing's strength was no less than theirs.
Judging from the energy released in that attack, they couldn't say for sure they could withstand it.
"Next, number 18."
The battle continued, and Number 19 was clearly not strong enough and was defeated by the veteran members.
Now it's number 18's turn. After a long battle with the veteran members, he narrowly lost.
"It seems that half of the contestants will make it to the Battle of Ascension," Xiao Weiqing muttered to himself. The remaining contestants are all quite strong, and if none of the veteran members are too powerful, the contestants will probably all be able to win.
An hour later.
With the conclusion of the final battle, the first phase of the battle to ascend to heaven in the Five Heavens has come to an end.
A total of 16 people have entered the second stage.
"Congratulations," Eral said with a smile, then looked at numbers 17, 16, 13, and 12, "Would you four like to continue?"
Although these four defeated the veteran members and passed the first stage, they all suffered serious injuries. Even with healing medicine, they would not be able to recover to their peak strength for a while.
If the first stage is so difficult, it's unlikely that the battle to reach the heavens will be won.
"No, I give up."
"I'm giving up too."
All four chose to give up.
"That's wise. Even if you survive the Battle of Ascension, you'll still have to face them. You'll have no chance at all," Ayral said, pointing at Xiao Weiqing and the others.
"The losers, go with them; the rest of you, wait a while."
The 18 eliminated contestants, along with the 4 who gave up, left with the original members.
Only 12 people remained on the arena, quietly awaiting the final battle to ascend to heaven.
