Chapter 696: True Person

The ninth round of the Daoist ranking battle, sixteen into eight!

This battle had reached the moment for a desperate fight.

Everyone began to compete for the lead at any cost, and all kinds of powerful star arts and explosive star arts that had not been displayed before appeared one after another.

Some even resorted to strategy.

The reason was very simple.

The treatment enjoyed by the top ten Daoists was completely different.

Among Daoist treatments, the fourth rank was a watershed.

Because fourth-rank Daoist treatment included the opportunity to contemplate a True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal.

However, below the fourth-rank treatment, there was no such item.

Even the Mansion of True Person Yutang could only provide Xu Jin with one opportunity to contemplate a Dao-Proving Blood Crystal, which showed how precious this reward was.

The reason for this was also very simple.

Every True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal had a limit on the number of times it could be contemplated.

One person could contemplate the same True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal multiple times, but the total number of times a single True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal could be contemplated by people was limited.

Contemplate it once, and the number decreased by one.

It was extremely precious, a priceless treasure.

From this point of view, the fact that first-rank Daoist treatment allowed for the contemplation of a True Person's Dao-Proving Blood Crystal every ten years was enough to make all the peerless geniuses present break their heads over it.

According to Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen, other True Person mansions might also collect one or two True Person blood crystals, but it was impossible to allow the geniuses within their clans to contemplate them without limit.

And even if they had them, the remaining number of contemplation times was not much.

As for the Tianyang Xingjun Marquis mansions, it went without saying; as long as their ancestors had not produced a powerful True Person, it was impossible for them to have any.

This was also the reason why the genius descendants of the True Person mansions and Tianyang Xingjun mansions in the Emperor Dongxuan Star Realm risked their lives to squeeze into the Emperor Dongxuan Dao Palace.

Inside the Dao Palace, there were True Person blood crystals bestowed by the Emperor.

Just in the third match, Xu Jin saw a scene of bayonets drawn and blood flowing.

Liu Shu, who came from the Tianyang Xingjun Xiji Mansion, directly used his essence blood to stimulate his natal spirit treasure, increasing the power of his natal spirit treasure by more than 30%, and directly sent away his opponent, who also came from a Tianyang Xingjun mansion.

He locked in the top eight ranking in advance.

But after the battle ended, his aura was weak, and it would take at least a month or two of recuperation to recover, and he would also need heavenly materials and earthly treasures to supplement his health.

But it was worth it.

This was his strategy.

Locking in the top eight was enough; Liu Shu had already given up on the top four.

In the eighth match of the ninth round, it was soon Xu Jin's turn.

Xu Jin did not choose the Emperor Dongxuan Token; on the entire practice arena, there were only two Daoists left who had not participated in the battle.

Xu Jin, and Shen Hui from the Tianyang Xingjun Tianyi Mansion.

The moment Xu Jin stepped onto the void arena, he looked down at Shen Hui from afar.

At the same time, the excited and expectant divine soul transmission of Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen rang in Xu Jin's mind, "Brother-in-law, beat this guy hard and vent my anger!

Just now, this guy eliminated me. The tables have turned, it's great!"

Xu Jin nodded slightly; eliminating Shen Hui was inevitable.

This Shen Hui was good at wind-type and metal-type star arts, and his speed was extremely fast, making him very difficult to deal with.

But in front of Xu Jin, who was proficient in space-type star arts, it was nothing.

To Xu Jin's surprise, Shen Hui did not step onto the arena immediately, but frowned, as if he was struggling with something.

"Shen Hui?"

Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo, who was presiding over the battle, gave a light shout to urge him.

The next moment, Shen Hui, who came from the Tianyang Xingjun Tianyi Mansion, bowed to Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo and said, "Lord Tianyang Xingjun, I concede and give up this battle!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the watching Daoists were in an uproar.

However, people like Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan, and Xu Jin immediately understood Shen Hui's choice.

Strategy.

If he did not fight for his life in the battle with Xu Jin, he would have no chance of winning.

Even if he fought for his life, the chance of winning was shockingly low.

If he lost to Xu Jin, not only would his strength be affected after his outburst, but his explosive means would also be seen and prepared for by others.

In that case, it would be too terrible.

He wouldn't even be able to enter the top ten.

Not being able to enter the top ten meant entering hell mode for him.

So he chose to give up voluntarily, preserve his strength, and strive for the ninth and tenth places.

After all, with his real combat strength, ranking in the top eight was no problem; he just happened to run into Xu Jin.

The Emperor Dongxuan Dao Palace had always recognized such combat strategies; after all, in future battles in the star domain, those reckless men who only knew how to fight and did not know how to utilize the environment were often the first to die.

"Accepted!"

With one word from Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo, the ninth round of the Daoist ranking battle ended.

While Shen Hui breathed a sigh of relief, the expressions of the two Tianyang Xingjun mansion disciples who were originally going to fight for the ninth and tenth places became nervous.

"Sigh, bad luck, this kid Shen Hui is too cowardly." Prince Yutang Zhu Shizhen's helpless voice rang in Xu Jin's mind.

But Xu Jin felt that he should still pay attention to Shen Hui in the future; this kid was decisive in killing and dared to concede directly at this time, he was definitely a ruthless person!

After resting for two quarter-hours as usual.

The tenth round of the Daoist ranking battle began, eight into four!

The speed of this battle was even faster.

Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan, Yuan Luzhen, and Xu Jin, who had always been regarded as seeded players, all won their four battles, and their opponents were all disciples from other Tianyang Xingjun mansions.

Not to mention Xu Jin.

Yuan Chengfa, Su Xuan, and Yuan Luzhen demonstrated the foundation of the True Person mansions in the battle.

At the very least, they had natal spirit treasures with six Dao rules, and even nine-star spirit treasures on their persons.

The disciples of the Tianyang Xingjun mansions were a bit worse in this regard.

The top three should have been produced from these three people.

But now, there was the variable of Xu Jin.

The top four ranking battle was the most important battle in every Daoist selection, so the rules had also changed.

"The eleventh round of the Daoist ranking battle begins. Because the ranking of the top three Daoist sequences is extremely important, the rules have been slightly changed!

Each of the top four Daoists must fight one match against the other three Daoists.

The one who wins all three matches ranks first.

If there is no one who wins all three matches, the one with two wins will be ranked first!" Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo's voice rang out high in the sky.

"First match, Yuan Chengfa versus Su Xuan!" Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo directly called out their names. The next moment, Yuan Chengfa and Su Xuan stepped onto the void arena at the same time, and even Xu Jin looked forward to the battle between the two.

These two both cultivated fire-type, but Yuan Chengfa also cultivated earth-type, and Su Xuan also cultivated wood-type.

In terms of the combat strength displayed before, Yuan Chengfa was slightly stronger, but in actual combat, it was hard to say.

On the void arena, the two of them used their natal spirit treasures as soon as they started fighting.

Yuan Chengfa's natal spirit treasure was a seven-petaled lotus lamp. As soon as it started, the moment the purple flame black lotus wrapped around Su Xuan, golden flame light erupted around Su Xuan, and a golden crow phantom vaguely appeared above his head.

The golden crow spat out golden flame light from its mouth, burning towards the purple flame black lotus like magma and a torrent. In just an instant, the purple flame black lotus began to melt.

But the seven-petaled lotus lamp in front of Yuan Chengfa had lotus petals dancing, and every time one flew out, the power of the purple flame black lotus grew by one point.

After only three petals flew out, Su Xuan's golden crow was actually suppressed.

However, Su Xuan was no pushover.

A huge tree phantom suddenly grew inside his body, lifting the golden crow. In just an instant, the golden crow's body size surged, instantly overwhelming the purple flame black lotus and shattering it.

But at the same time, a small mountain surrounded by Dao rules suddenly appeared above Su Xuan's head, pressing down with a bang.

In an instant, Su Xuan's figure disappeared from the arena.

Xu Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, "A second natal spirit treasure!"

He did not expect that Yuan Chengfa had actually refined a second natal spirit treasure.

It could only be said that the True Person mansion was truly wealthy, and they were also putting in great effort to cultivate Yuan Chengfa.

For ordinary Tianyang Xingjun mansion disciples, it was already a bit difficult to get one natal spirit treasure.

Yuan Chengfa actually had two!

"I lost!" Su Xuan's figure appeared below the arena, his aura stable, and his expression even more determined.

The battle with Yuan Chengfa just now seemed to have used all his strength, but in terms of strength, there was no consumption at all.

This made Xu Jin feel a bit surprised.

Did he use all his strength?

But it felt like he was preserving his strength.

Then using strategy?

But with only a few people left, what strategy could he use?

Or rather, did Su Xuan want to preserve his peak strength to fight Xu Jin with all his might?

To obtain the second place.

"If that is really the plan, then I can only apologize!" Xu Jin thought to himself.

"Second match, Yuan Luzhen versus Xu Jin!"

The moment Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo's voice rang out, Xu Jin and Yuan Luzhen stepped onto the void arena at the same time.

Naturally, there were no good expressions between the two of them.

"Xu Jin!"

"Yuan Luzhen!"

The next moment, the moment the star light of the substitute command token fell, the void barrier between the two disappeared.

Almost at the same moment, wind wings appeared behind Yuan Luzhen, and while moving at high speed, a cyan giant bow with six Dao rules immediately appeared.

Whoosh!

Arrows with wind and fire colors had already bombarded Xu Jin like a string of pearls!

As soon as he made a move, he launched a surprise attack!

At the same time, he started moving at high speed!

Is this the means they used to deal with Xu Jin's killer move, Star Shatter?

The next moment, the moment Xu Jin disappeared, space power fluctuations rose, and Yuan Luzhen, who was moving at high speed, suddenly stalled.

Star Art: Space Cage!

Without hesitation, Xu Jin pointed a finger.

Since Star Shatter was used, there was no need to hide it.

Xu Jin's real killer move was Star Shatter: Extreme!

Seeing Xu Jin point a finger, Yuan Luzhen was terrified. Space was restricted; even if he could break it, by the time he broke it, Xu Jin's terrifying star art power would have already erupted.

A majestic divine soul fluctuation erupted from Yuan Luzhen's body, but this divine soul fluctuation was aimed at himself.

In an instant, everything within a few meters around him, including spatial changes, was clearly visible.

"Found it!"

At the first moment, Yuan Luzhen sensed the moment Xu Jin's Star Shatter fluctuation appeared.

The natal spirit treasure Cyan Origin Divine Bow erupted with star light, the bow handle changed as he wished, and it stabbed fiercely towards the place where the Star Shatter fluctuation appeared like a sword.

Boom!

A star light shockwave appeared.

Xu Jin felt that his Star Shatter star art was violently destroyed at the moment before it erupted, that is, the moment the spatial fluctuation appeared.

The star art was violently interrupted.

This guy Yuan Luzhen actually found a way to crack this move.

However, the position where it was violently interrupted, that is, the place where the star power shockwave erupted, was Yuan Luzhen's chest.

Even though he was prepared, he was not lightly injured at this time, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth!

But there was no doubt that the highly threatening space-type star art was broken by him.

Xu Jin's threat was greatly reduced.

A look of excitement appeared in the depths of Yuan Luzhen's eyes.

But before he could react, spatial fluctuations and thunder light rose at the same time.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Duke Seal had already poured down thunder.

Yuan Luzhen's wind wings flashed wildly behind him, intending to dodge the thunder.

But he suddenly hit an invisible space barrier, and thunder light rebounded from the space barrier, directly electrocuting him until his whole body was numb, and he stood there in a daze!

Thunder poured down.

Yuan Luzhen disappeared!

Seeing this, Xu Jin sneered, you can dodge Star Shatter, but can you dodge Thunder Prison?

On the ground, Yuan Luzhen looked at himself who had been teleported out, his face pale, and then looked at Yuan Chengfa and Su Xuan, his expression immediately became ugly.

Lost!

Lost to Xu Jin!

His goal of defending third place and fighting for second place was now in jeopardy!

Very precarious!

Xu Jin, however, was considering the tactics for the next round; his opponent in the next round would be either Yuan Chengfa or Su Xuan, both of which would be fierce battles.

"Rest for two quarter-hours, and start the next round."

Almost the moment Tianyang Xingjun Liuhuo's voice rang out, another divine soul transmission suddenly appeared in Xu Jin's mind.

The moment this divine soul transmission appeared, Xu Jin suddenly understood what Su Xuan's strategy was!

Because the person who transmitted the voice to him was the ruler of the Emperor Dongxuan Star Realm, True Person Commander Tian Zhang!
