The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 124: The First Round
The middle-aged man who did not introduce himself turned his head around. He smiled faintly as he raised his right hand into the air, and said in an echoing voice, "For anyone who wants to take part in the selection of the Heavenly Palace disciples, expect to ascend the arena!"
In that instant, people from all walks of life. Whether it was nobles, commoners, women and men. All of them jumped up onto the arena and landed in different places.
When the others jumped high while giving off their cultivation aura to add to the impression. Mo Lian chose to walk through the stone steps that had been provided on all four sides.
Of course the steps taken by him made the attention of everyone present go to him and laugh at him.
Everyone thought of Mo Lian as a frog who tried to eat a goose. Unaware of his own strength, yet still acting arrogant by following the selection of the Heavenly Palace disciples.
Mo Lian simply smiled faintly ignoring everyone's gaze and speech. For him it was meaningless, then right now he was also trying to humble himself, so having to remain patient did not take out too much of his strength.
Wei Yian Fei and Wei Yian Ning also climbed to the top of the arena walking following Mo Lian's footsteps from behind.
After everyone stood on top of the arena, with the number only reaching around 2000 people, it was quite a bit when compared to the number of people present watching.
The Vice Elder raised his hand into the air, suddenly from all four corners of the arena appeared another middle-aged man. The four people made hand seals and made a barrier from four sides so that the attacks of the participants did not hit the spectators.
The protective walls of the four sides were golden-yellow, from the strength of those four people, the protector could only withstand the attacks of the Golden Core Realm. But not Mo Lian's Golden Core.
The Vice Elder again raised his hand into the air after the protective wall had been made, he turned his head to look at the entire participants, then said loudly, "Fight first part! It's starting!"
At that very instant, everyone moved away from each other while issuing successive attacks and ignoring Mo Lian who was on the edge of the arena.
Mo Lian himself did not mind if no one attacked him, so he did not expend too much energy.
Mo Lian channeled her spiritual energy into the Space Ring, and took out the wooden chair she bought yesterday, then she sat on the chair observing the course of the match. Even he also took out the snacks he bought, of course, not snacks that came from Earth.
"Lian Mo's. What the hell are you doing? You're not supposed to do that, you can say disrespect the organizers." Wei Yian Ning whispered in Mo Lian's ear with a slightly bent body.
"What harm? They didn't attack me, surely I relaxed for a moment," Mo Lian replied indifferently.
Mo Lian's words were heard by many people, including the participants who were fighting and trying to get the other participants out. They all turned their eyes to Mo Lian and the two women on her left.
"Kill him!" One of them shouted out loud.
It was true that there were no rules in the reception of Heavenly Palace disciples, but still this was too soon to say it would kill.
"Well..." Mo Lian exhaled a long breath of coldness. He got up from his seat while grasping a chair, then threw it at hundreds of people who ran towards him.
Wush! Bang out!
The wooden chair he threw shot out sharply creating an extremely swift wind wave, splitting through hundreds of people and throwing it to the side of the arena. Then a deafening loud bang rang out as the chair he threw struck the protective wall.
With just a single throw of wooden chairs, already over 1000 people were eliminated from the top of the arena as they could not withstand the blowing of the wind, and balanced their respective bodies.
Mo Lian's throw was already held to the slightest, not even one percent of strength. But the one whose name was Perfect Golden Core, whose strength was on par with Nature and Humans, certainly had different powers.
Everyone was flabbergasted with their eyes wide open when they saw the movements Mo Lian made. It was an unexpected attack, as others used techniques and spiritual energy to fight back, but Mo Lian only used physical strength, and even then without using any weapons.
Elder Ye who was sitting on top of the tower opened his eyes slowly observing Mo Lian. "She was just a Late-stage Shen Hai, and the two women next to her were Intermediate-stage Shen Hai. It seemed like he was not training spiritual energy, but rather physical," he murmured.
Mo Lian smiled faintly upon hearing that mutter. From the wrong guess, Mo Lian was able to tell if Elder Ye was not knowledgeable.
Mo Lian walked leisurely into the middle of the arena, making all the remaining participants surround her from all sides
Everyone stared at each other, then nodded their heads simultaneously. Then without lingering any longer, they pressed their feet on the arena floor, then darted simultaneously to the center of the arena, where Mo Lian was standing.
Seeing everyone running towards him with weapons in hand, Mo Lian simply stayed where she stood without moving a single bit. But when one of the swords almost hit his neck stem, he crouched down on the spot, then slapped them all around the waist in a twisting manner.
The sound of coarse cracks that were mutually unpretentious, signifying that the bones of everyone who was hit by Mo Lian's slap became broken. Some of the people hit by the slap shot, hitting the people behind them, making some of the participants leave the arena.
"Although I intend to hide my strength, but because the examiner said that I am a Physical Cultivator, so it is very natural for them to see this," Mo Lian murmured a glance at Elder Ye.
Although most of the participants had already left the arena, the remaining hundreds of people were still fighting, working together to defeat Mo Lian.
"Fire Technique! Fire Tiger!"
"Wind Engineering! Storm Wind!"
"Swade Technique! The Thousand Swords Incision!"
Various techniques were directed at Mo Lian who was at the center of the arena.
Mo Lian smiled faintly, she pulled her left leg back and twisted her body avoiding the attack. Attacks continued to be directed at him, he also continued to move gradually avoiding the entire attack, which was capable of killing the Late Profound Phase.
Aarrgghh! Arggh! Arggh!
There was a loud shout that seemed to be very painful, the shouts were mutual, as their attacks hit the opponent who was on the other side and threw them.
After the match went for about a dozen minutes, finally on top of the arena there were only a few tens more people left, but it was still too much when compared to the quota that had been set.
Mo Lian glanced to the right and to the left, looking at the people who were still surrounding her. He also saw Wei Yian Fei and Wei Yian Ning who were on the edge of the arena, but were not targeted by other participants.
"It seems I have to finish it quickly, I don't want this to last long, however I haven't eaten from last night." Mo Lian muttered softly, then he darted very fast, following the speed of the Late Divine Sea Phase.
Plaque! Plaque! Plaque!
Mo Lian slapped the faces of everyone who was surrounding her, making them all flung out of the arena and hit the protective wall.
In just a span of minutes, Mo Lian had already eliminated most of the people, and now there were only twenty people left.
But Mo Lian did not stop her movements, she still darted very fast, and appeared in front of the participants of the middle-aged man who was about forties, long black-haired tied up.
When Mo Lian was about to slap the middle-aged man in the face, suddenly a loud voice came from the tower that stopped her actions.
"Stop!"
Everyone turned their attention to the source of the voice, looking at the young man who was over 500 years old. The young man was Elder Ye, had fresh white hair, a smooth face and a sharp eye gaze.
"That's enough. The first round is over, the second round will resume ten minutes from now!" Elder Ye shouted as he stared intently at Mo Lian.
Mo Lian turned her gaze to the other side avoiding Elder Ye's eyes, she gave a cold snort, then muttered, "It seems like she hates me, she hates me, I don't know what would happen if I really made it into the Heavenly Palace. But if he dares to rule like a very powerful man, I will directly break through to the dungeon."
