Dragon Monarch
Chapter 132 - Preliminary Round
Within two days, Lin Yan, Huan Caiyi, Gu Yuena and Gu Yin relaxed to wait for the time of day the competition preliminary was held.
Two days later, it was seen that the Arena was very full filled by many students who entered the audience to see the preliminary to be held. Due to the size of the Arena, eight groups will compete simultaneously.
From the information that had been circulated, the competition this time only specialized in individual fights that made the allowance was also held as such. Unlike the past five years, the competition is conducted in groups and groups. Every period of the competition, the way the matches are always different.
As well, this time the competition was a little special because even fellow disciples from the same sect would meet in the fight although it was unlikely due to the arrangements that the entire sect had made.
Currently, it was seen all the participants who were gathering at the outskirts of the Arena. Everything now in their respective groups was no exception for Lin Yan, Huan Caiyi, Gu Yuena and Gu Yin.
After saying a few words to Huan Caiyi and Gu Yuena, Lin Yan and Gu Yin went to the group 8 where they had taken the stage.
Of course it made Gu Yin smile all the time because she could be alone with her heart even though she was in public.
After entering into the group, Lin Yan watched all the disciples who were participating in the preliminaries.
“There is no ninth stage Spirit Realm level, there are only a few eighth stage Spirit Realm level disciples. However, they are all powerful.” Inner Lin Yan. He would naturally be excited against the other strong disciples. He was certainly not daunted even though his enemy had a cultivation of two stages above him.
All the other disciples also looked at all the other disciples because everything within one group was of course a rival. There were only eight groups and the last remaining participants would take part in the inter-sect competition as the main participants.
“Paution!”
Someone's voice rang out in the middle of the Arena which was now divided into 16 different places. Because of the breadth of the Arena, every battleground made was also quite spacious. Eight for Spirit Realm level disciples and eight more for Earth Realm level disciples.
Even before, Lin Yan had already looked to a faraway place that the Earth Realm level disciples were not as many as the Spirit Realm level. He also saw that Li Han and Long Hua were at the place of the allowance.
All the attention of the disciple was now on the Elder who was in the middle of the Arena, as the Elder used his qi to speak, it made his voice become strong.
“Second leader!” The inner all disciples in that place while looking at the figure of the middle-aged man who looked extremely wise with a slightly cold face, he was wearing the special clothes of the Heavenly Dragon sect elder but with a different color due to his status as one of the Three main Elders.
“First of all, I will give you the purpose of holding this competition.” The Second Elder spoke at length which made many disciples excited while Lin Yan did not care at all because it sounded like brainwashing in his ears in order for the disciples to be loyal to the Heavenly Dragon sect.
After speaking a little, the Second Elder continued, “Sekte Dragon Sky senagaja made an preliminary round like this so that students who are not famous and have talent are able to participate in the competition. This was a rule made by the sect for all disciples to have a chance to become participants representing the Heavenly Dragon sect.”
“I won't talk much, just one thing I'll tell you. Good luck!”
The disciples who heard that also had a higher fighting spirit. They felt that it was a motivation for them to progress even further.
Not long after, at every group match venue, an Elder appeared to be a referee.
“I will not waste time, the first game will start, number 1 against number 2!” Shouted the Elders who were in the group 8 arena. He also issued a board that has a foot pole to record the winning participants and advance to the next round.
“It seems I'm the first.” A female disciple slowly climbed onto the stage with a confident smile.
Then a male disciple also went up on the stage. Both of them had the same cultivation level that was the seventh stage Spirit Realm level.
Lin Yan looked at the two participants with interest knowing that in the next round, he would fight one of them if he managed to qualify as well.
The two disciples immediately moved towards their respective opponents. Both of them immediately launched an attack using swords.
The tring! The tring! The tring!
A fierce battle was fought between the two disciples. The spectators on the arena bench also chose which matches they wanted to watch as there were 16 arenas at the moment. However, most disciples were certainly watching the Earth Realm level disciple battle that also had a fighting arena that was almost three times that of the Spirit Realm level disciple battleground.
Srak!
“Arrrggghhg!” A woman's shout sounded as her back was slashed by the sword. The wound was quite deep but it would not make a Spirit Realm level cultivator lose a life.
“The winner is participant number 2!” Shouted the Elder after deciding to stop the fight as it was very visible the female disciple would not be able to fight anymore after fighting for almost three minutes.
Some students then brought the female student to be treated.
The elder who was the referee wasted no time at all and instantly continued the next fight.
“The next match is disciple number 3 and 4!” Shouted the Elder.
Zhep!
A disciple with the seventh stage Spirit Realm level jumped into the air in an elegant manner then landed smoothly in the middle of the Arena.
Meanwhile, Lin Yan leisurely walked towards the Arena.
All the participants in group 8 were staring at Lin Yan dissatisfied from looking too relaxed. They all insulted Lin Yan inwardly, because, they saw Lin Yan's cultivation and could only curse him for trying to make the next match last longer.
Lin Yan did not hide his cultivation at all. He did not need to do that so that his enemies would not be wary of him.
The refereeing elder also shriveled a little but did not speak at all because there was no regulation telling the disciple to quickly enter the arena.
When reaching in front of the disciple who was his opponent, Lin Yan only looked at him flatly without any guilt at all for lingering just to enter the Arena.
“Hey is short, did you intentionally do that because you already know it is impossible to win?” Asked the student in a cold tone and continued, “You better give up before I break one of your hands!” Threaten the student.
Gu Yin who was looking at Lin Yan in the middle of the Arena instantly put up a killing intent upon hearing that threat which made all the surrounding disciples feel astonished.
Lin Yan did not reply at all. He only looked towards the Elder to declare the match to begin.
The disciple who was Lin Yan's opponent put on an extremely angry face when he saw Lin Yan's response. He decided to teach a serious lesson.
Meanwhile, the Elder who was the referee certainly understood and did not waste time.
“Games start!”
