Chapter 1209

With her arms crossed, she stood in the center of the platform with an arrogant expression.

Shi Kangshun looked at Li Yao, who had finished his secret conversation but remained indifferent.

He sighed and walked onto the platform.

"In this match, Qin Xuejun wins!"

"You all," Shi Kangshun turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the practitioners battling on the other platforms, "you've seen enough, it's time to compete, don't waste time."

"Ah? Oh!"

"Yes, Dean Shi!"

At this moment, the audience finally came back to their senses and erupted into enthusiastic applause.

The battle between Jingyu's two great geniuses had given them their fill of excitement.

Many were also feeling regretful;

the eliminated practitioner with the blade was also very strong.

If her luck had been better and she hadn't encountered Qin Xuejun, she might have gone very far.

Hong Ling walked off the stage.

Cang Wuqi, who had been waiting for a long time, patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much about it. Your opponent was Qin Xuejun, the Dragon Nation's only SSS-tier practitioner. Being able to fight to this extent is already extremely difficult."

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

Cang Wuqi looked at the pitiful Hong Ling and raised an eyebrow:

"Don't pretend."

"Although you did well, losing is losing. After watching the competition, go back and add extra training!"

"What is that!"

The battle between Hong Ling and Qin Xuejun had raised the audience's excitement threshold to a certain level.

Looking at the remaining three pairs of practitioners fighting, they were somewhat lacking in interest.

Fortunately,

as long as it wasn't two knights dueling,

battles between practitioners were usually very fast.

The first round of ranking battles consisted of five matches in total.

Each match drew eight practitioners to duel in pairs, promoting twenty people and eliminating twenty.

The first round ended quickly.

Zhang Yucheng and the others also let the audience know what the 'gold content' of the border trial participants was.

As long as they were in the arena,

it was like adults bullying children.

The battles didn't last more than three seconds!

Pure, one-sided crushing!

Those aristocratic children who had looked down on the participants before were now having their faces slapped hard!

They wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Practitioners were just like that;

one step fast, every step fast.

Zhang Yucheng and the others were able to achieve top rankings in the seizure battle a few months ago.

After receiving the rewards, they were already a cut above the others.

Furthermore, knowing the danger, they had defied public opinion to participate in the border trial and obtained opportunities there.

The strength of the two sides was no longer in the same dimension.

The second round of ranking battles was no different from the first.

Twenty into ten.

Only in the third round of top-ten ranking battles would they fight one by one.

The winner would gain points, and the final ranking would be based on points.

It could be said that

the Newcomer Competition, besides testing strength,

also tested the practitioners' endurance.

Just for the top-ten ranking battles, each practitioner had to perform nine duels!

Without lingering too much,

after confirming that none of the participating practitioners had major injuries,

a randomly selected audience member walked onto the platform

and took eight small balls out of the large barrel.

There were too many audience members, and this little girl who was picked was somewhat stage-frightened.

"First match, Kong Jiamu versus Magic-Martial Su Liangfeng."

"Oh?" Li Yao was somewhat surprised.

This Su Liangfeng had quite a reputation.

Previously at the luncheon, Ge Shuqing had introduced him.

Among those aristocratic practitioners of Magic-Martial, besides Yun Hejiang and Zuo Shuning, this person was the strongest!

The practitioner whose name was called walked onto the platform.

Su Liangfeng was a thin, tall magic-class practitioner.

Seeing Kong Jiamu in front of him, he was also somewhat surprised.

This kid—

was his luck a bit too bad?

Li Yao had the same question.

Once or twice could be called luck,

but with it happening so frequently,

Li Yao turned his head and looked at Jia Yeshuo nearby.

Seeming to feel Li Yao's gaze,

Jia Yeshuo turned back, "Chief General, something up?"

Li Yao did not answer.

He only suspected; he had no evidence.

The battle began.

Facing a strong enemy, Kong Jiamu did not complain about bad luck but treated the enemy in front of him seriously.

His goal was to break into the top ten and achieve as high a ranking as possible,

so he needed to conserve mana.

He had to dodge the opponent's attacks while finding his flaws!

"This kid can win, but the subsequent top-ten ranking battles might be a bit difficult."

Li Yao's guess was not much different from Lin Lao's.

Kong Jiamu's opponent in every round was someone he had to fight with all his might to defeat.

Being able to retain a certain amount of mana at this time was a special technique he had honed from long-term solo dungeon clearing!

Just then,

a figure came running over.

Near the front row of the spectator area, which was where Li Yao and the others were, they were stopped by a practitioner in military uniform.

"Young Master Li!"

"Young Master Li!"

Qin Yue shouted loudly, and seeing Li Yao turn his head,

Qin Yue pointed to the communication device in her hand. ===== CHAPTER 1211 =====
