Chapter 2274: The Six Strongest
The cheers in the Baro Arena gradually subsided. The participants on the field hadn't drawn lots yet. At least an hour later, the fourth round of the Strongest Contest would begin.
The fourth round was an elimination points system, with 167 participants. On average, each participant had to fight four matches, including elimination matches, resurrection matches, etc. As long as one didn't die, there was still a chance.
After the four major rounds of the arena ended, regardless of how many people were left in the end, the top ten in arena points would successfully promote to the fifth round of the Strongest Contest (the Ten Strongest Contest).
This round relied on hard strength. One couldn't forfeit before going on stage. If one wanted to forfeit, one had to wait at least five minutes after the battle started. If one wanted to obtain resources through the Strongest Contest, one had to risk one's life.
Even the qualification to forfeit in the fourth round was a kind of reward, a recognition of the participants who had fought to the fourth round. This also meant that after fighting to the fourth round, it was possible for participants to retreat unscathed.
Compared to the participants on the yellow sand field, some spectators in the spectator stands were also very nervous. After all, those fighting on the sand field were their clansmen, friends, and possibly even their relatives or lovers.
Of course, such spectators only accounted for a part. The remaining majority of the spectators were relaxed. The representatives sent by their races had long died in the first three rounds. It was unlikely that the relatives and friends of the deceased would come to watch the battle. Most of those who came were melon-eating masses of the same race.
Located in the seating area of the Arcane Eternal Star, this area occupied one-tenth of the entire spectator stand, and next to it was the seating area of the Devil tribe.
Don't think that the spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star were all in magic robes; that was their attire when fighting. The younger generation of spellcasters dressed differently.
Compared to the younger generation of spellcasters, those older spellcasters all wore magic robes. They had experienced too many battles, and not having magic robes on them would make them feel a bit unnatural.
If it weren't for the high-level spellcasters of the Arcane Eternal Star suppressing them, some young spellcasters would have already been verbally arguing with the young Devil tribe members next door. Next door was actually a similar situation. It could only be said that young people were hot-blooded, and it was normal to have conflicts. Powerful strength didn't make people emotionless and desireless.
"The sunlight is too dazzling. Hey, I really want to go back to the Magic Tower."
A spellcaster in his early twenties, wearing loose pajamas, narrowed his eyes. His skin was very white, caused by staying at home for a long time. This homebody was the Wind Prince of the Arcane Eternal Star.
"Rebellious son, shut up."
A majestic voice came. A middle-aged man with some stubble on his face, who felt upright just by looking at him, spoke. He was sitting beside the Wind Prince. He was the Wind Prince's father, the Gale King, one of the high-level members of the Arcane Eternal Star.
"Father, your old Feather tribe lover has also come. Otherwise, I'll go and say hello for you..."
Before the Wind Prince could finish his words, he felt that his father's gaze was wrong. The "fatherly love strike" like a mountain might be coming.
"Hugh, over here. Bai Ye, how have you been lately?"
The Wind Prince's previous words made the Gale King quite satisfied, but the latter made him feel something was wrong. The name Bai Ye sounded a bit familiar.
Suddenly, the Gale King thought of Kuku Lin Bai Ye, the Law-Breaker of the Reincarnation Paradise!
Thinking of this, the Gale King's cheek twitched imperceptibly. Looking at that expression, it seemed he was preparing to slap the Wind Prince to the last row with one big mouth.
In the three rows in front of the Wind Prince and his son, Mage Sage Sephilia was looking at the yellow sand field below. She wore a white magic robe and a hood, allowing people to see only the lower half of her cheeks. That fair skin made Sephilia look at most thirty years old.
Under the cover of the white hood, Sephilia's pupils were golden, and there seemed to be endless magic patterns inside. Elements were distorted, enslaved, and finally swallowed.
Don't spellcasters know what will happen after the elemental system collapses? No, they know better than anyone, but after the strength of spellcasters exceeds a certain level, they need to swallow natural elements with magic patterns. Otherwise, their internal magic paths will have big problems.
It's not that they don't know, but they must do so. This led to the hostile stance between spellcasters and Law-Breakers. Interestingly, if a spellcaster and a Law-Breaker stand together, the first impression of outsiders is definitely that the spellcaster is the righteous side, and the Law-Breaker looks very much like a villain.
This situation exists because Law-Breakers don't care about image or reputation at all. They belong to the type who play however they want. Having a bad reputation is even better, which helps maintain elemental balance.
As long as the reputation is fierce enough, those who intend to destroy the elemental balance have to think twice before doing certain things, because what they are facing is a group of Law-Breakers who don't listen to any explanations.
This also has benefits, which is that no matter what shocking things Law-Breakers do, major Void races can accept it calmly, after all, they have long been accustomed to it.
Su Xiao stood on the yellow sand field, looked up slightly, and looked at Mage Sage Sephilia in the spectator stands. After a while, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
He raised his right arm, and crystal layers spread in his hand, finally forming a crystal sculpture.
"Gillian."
Sephilia whispered, the corners of her mouth curled up, and the boiling killing intent was undisguised.
With a snap, Su Xiao crushed the crystal sculpture in his hand and walked toward the participant seating area. The draw was about to begin.
Su Xiao certainly wasn't provoking Sephilia; he just wanted to confirm one thing. Unfortunately, that woman didn't show her emotions, and the probe failed.
Just arriving at the participant seating area, Su Xiao found that most participants had already taken their seats. He glanced at the back of his hand, where the Void number 16 was. This number would be used until the end of the fourth round of the Strongest Contest.
Coming to the seat marked "16," he sat down. Coincidentally, a familiar person was sitting in seat 17: the Feather tribe eldest miss, Shang Yue.
After Su Xiao sat down, Shang Yue felt terrible, but with so many people watching, she could only remain calm.
"Don't draw the Six Strongest. The Goddess of Luck must protect me. Don't draw those six monsters, otherwise I'll be dead..."
A little fatty in seat 18 was muttering. He had bandages wrapped around his head. This was a Yanling tribe member, proficient in barrier-type abilities.
"Six Strongest?"
The Shang Yue in the adjacent seat looked puzzled. The little fatty looked at Shang Yue and smiled from the heart. In most cases, lick-dogs didn't end well, but for the goddess of the Feather tribe, the little fatty went all out.
"Ms. Shang Yue, after the previous three rounds, I have collected information on the six strongest people. Do you want to know?"
"Yes."
Shang Yue certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
"No problem. I can't judge the ranking of the Six Strongest for the time being, but their danger level is easy to estimate."
The little fatty's words attracted not only Shang Yue, but Bubu Wang, who was squatting beside Su Xiao, also turned its gaze.
"First of all, the least dangerous among the Six Strongest is Hugh of the Arcane Eternal Star. His strength is unfathomable, but he is easygoing. As long as you don't provoke him actively and there's no old grudge, the probability of surviving after fighting him is over eighty percent."
The little fatty's words made Shang Yue nod. The facts were indeed so. Hugh's character was famous in the Void. ===== CHAPTER 2275 =====
"First, the least dangerous of the top six is Shuge of the Arcane Eternal Star. His strength is unfathomable, but he is easygoing. As long as you don't provoke him and have no old grudges, the probability of surviving a fight with him is over eighty percent."
The little fatty's words made Shang Yue nod; it was indeed the truth, as Shuge's character was famously good within the Void.
