Chapter 2452: Who Can Cheat with this Rule?
On the second day, when the point race officially began, Han Fei had already found out.
He got the message via Feng Yi from Princess Lan Xin of the Divine Capital Dynasty, and then learned that Shui Dongze was actually the strongest Sea Establisher of the new generation of the Gate of Heaven.
Later, because of his outstanding talent, this young man was taken in by the main branch of the Heavenly Race and given the name Tian Ze. Shui Dongze was his original name. After joining the main branch of the Heavenly Race from the Gate of Heaven, Shui Dongze went to the wilderness to gain experience and had only appeared here now.
Han Fei was amused. When he told the news to Zhang Xuanyu, the latter was also furious. “So blatant?”
!!
Han Fei said, “What do you think? I should have thought of it. The people of the Divine Capital Dynasty disdain to do this because the Divine Capital Dynasty has plenty of resources to nurture their people. Only the Heavenly Race are closest to the Divine Capital Dynasty and are best at stirring up trouble. Wouldn’t it be great if they exploit a small loophole in the rules and let their people get first place in the point race? The rewards are given by the Divine Capital Dynasty. It’s a bargain!”
Han Fei’s heart stirred. Since Shui Dongze was the strongest Sea Establisher of the new generation of the Gate of Heaven and had been taken in by the main branch of the Heavenly Race, should he let Nezha beat him? If Nezha won, would he be targeted by the Heavenly Race? If he lost, his status might not be good after entering the Heavenly Race. It was probably a problem whether he could come into contact with the Spring of Life and the little vein.
Besides, the one who could use connections to help Shui Dongze change the compet.i.tion order of the ten-thousand-year compet.i.tion couldn’t be simple.
Nezha was going to the Heavenly Race. If he offended Shui Dongze and the people behind him before he entered, how could he find the Spring of Life and the little vein?
They would probably make things difficult for Nezha the moment he entered.
Therefore, Nezha couldn’t win against Shui Dongze. However, wouldn’t it be embarra.s.sing if he lost so easily? He could just admit defeat and choose to avoid the battle. Although it would be a waste of points, this guy would probably give points to him too, right? After all, Nezha was going to enter the Heavenly Race.
Although Han Fei had thought of a way to deal with this situation, he felt very unhappy.
“d.a.m.n it, don’t give me a chance, or I’ll kill you.”
Although Han Fei wasn’t in a good mood, he had already made a decision. Although Nezha would still lose, Zhang Daqian would beat this guy. Anyway, this guy wouldn’t be able to win the next few winning streaks.
Fortunately, Zhang Daqian hadn’t shown his true strength yet. Otherwise, he might have been secretly targeted.
And the first person to fight today was called Xiang Qian.
This person was from a powerful Shark-Man tribe near the G.o.dfiend Sea in the East Sea Divine Realm. Yes, the G.o.dfiend Sea was also extremely dangerous. It was said that the people there were tough and good at fighting.
Xiang Qian used serrated wolf fang knives, which were double knives made of the bone spurs of various sea beasts. In the previous battles, Han Fei had noticed that this person was good at ramming. When he burst out, his power was like a raging tide in the sea, with infinite strength. He could enter the top 32 because he was strong, fast, powerful, and fearless.
To put it bluntly, he was very ferocious. He seemed to be a transformed mad shark walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
To be able to stand out among these countless peak-level Sea Establishers, this person had to be extraordinary.
In the first battle, he fought a female cultivator who walked the Dao of Ice. Her physique, Qi and blood, strength, and ice power couldn’t trap him at all.
However, the other party’s control far exceeded Xiang Qian’s. Unfortunately, after fighting for nearly an hour, she was injured by Xiang Qian’s serrated double knives and declared defeat.
In the second battle, Xiang Qian encountered a Master War Bow. His opponent controlled arrows well and set a domain. His power of s.p.a.ce and the sealing palm was far greater than ordinary. It took Xiang Qian nearly an hour to narrowly defeat him.
However, he was. .h.i.t by more than seventy arrows in total, and it took him nearly 16 hours to recover before the third battle began.
In this battle, the opponent was a strange-Dao cultivator who could borrow the energy of the void. A hundred seconds later, Xiang Qian was parasitized and broke through from the inside. His flesh and blood exploded as he declared defeat.
There was no telling if it was intentional or not, but the person ranked third was not weak. Han Fei felt that even Nezha might not be able to take him down within a hundred seconds.
There was no need to watch the following battles. When Xiang Qian fought the sixth game, he encountered Jia Tian. Jia Tian’s invincible defense was undamaged by Xiang Qian’s bombarding attacks. Instead, he was directly defeated by the counterforce.
When he fought all the way to Nezha, Xiang Qian had eight wins and seven losses. There was no winning streak in the middle.
It could be said that this result was not bad. In the top 32 compet.i.tion, it was already very good to maintain a 50% chance of winning. After all, this was a battle between the best of the Sea Establishment realm in the East Sea Divine Realm. Whoever could stand here was a peerless genius.
However, because the top ten hottest contestants came in at the back of the order, Xiang Qian was defeated in only fifteen seconds when he encountered Nezha.
He encountered Butcher An, who was the seventeenth to fight him. Butcher An was slightly stronger than Xiang Qian in all aspects, and Xiang Qian was defeated.
The 18th person he fought was Hua Lingyue, one of the top ten hottest contestants. She was a complete controller, and Xiang Qian was defeated.
The 19th one he encountered was Feng Qingcheng. She used Magnetic Fire Storm, and Xiang Qian was defeated.
Defeated four times in a row, Xiang Qian was completely numb. He felt that he could defeat no one.
When he met Zhang Daqian, Xiang Qian found that he couldn’t even withstand a single slash. He had a mental breakdown. When he met Zhang Xuanyu, he chose to admit defeat and avoid fighting.
When Xiang Qian’s round was over, he won 13 games, lost 19 games, and got an additional three points. Because he admitted defeat whenever he ran into the top ten hottest contestants, he ended the battle two days in advance, so he got 15 points in the end.
However, no matter if it was the audience or the powers that were recruiting talents from the top 32, no one would underestimate Xiang Qian. 15 points were better than nothing.
It could be said that 99% of the people in the East Sea Divine Realm would lose instantly.
On this side, when the third person’s point race came to an end, the second round of the Sky Opening Realm compet.i.tion had ended and entered the third round. The third round was expected to last for three months.
When the third round of the Sky Opening Realm compet.i.tion started, half of the Sky Opening Realm cultivators in the arenas of the Sea Establishment Realm had gone to watch the Sky Opening Realm compet.i.tion.
A month later, this was Jia Tian’s 11th game, against Shui Dongze.
Han Fei and Zhang Xuanyu had thought that this would be a fierce battle, but in only ten seconds, Shui Dongze was defeated, or rather, admitted defeat.
Zhang Xuanyu was dumbfounded. “Well…”
Han Fei’s pupils were constricted. “This guy is quite smart. Because everyone has to be re-challenged, Shui Dongze’s defeat won’t affect his score, so he doesn’t care. He can just let Jia Tian continue to win.”
However, when Jia Tian fought against Nezha, the latter went even further than Shui Dongze. Shui Dongze had fought Jia Tian for ten seconds, but Nezha directly said, “I admit defeat. Just pa.s.s.”
Shui Dongze was stunned. He had thought that with Nezha’s belligerent personality, even if Jia Tian didn’t lose the battle against him, he would definitely lose the next round. This was because Nezha, Butcher An, Hua Lingyue, and Feng Qingcheng were arranged to appear in sequence to block Jia Tian’s winning streak.
Therefore, if Nezha chose not to fight Jia Tian, what would Butcher An and the others choose? If they really didn’t fight, wouldn’t they be giving points to Jia Tian?
The audience was in an uproar too.
Someone cursed, “How can he do this? How can he just admit defeat?”
Someone threw spiritual stones into the field and cursed, “Foul! Nezha is foul! Referee, punish him severely!”
However, Nezha’s fans shouted, “This is called conserving your strength and hiding your trump cards. What do you know? Why does Nezha have to fight Jia Tian, this turtle sh.e.l.l? Nezha’s choice was right.”
“That’s right. If it were anyone else, my brother Nezha would definitely have beaten him, but how can he beat Jia Tian without using his trump card?”
Jia Tian grinned. “Nezha, you know that I’m sixth place. Although you don’t fight me now, I won’t go easy on you. The significance of the Ten-Thousand Year Compet.i.tion is to fight different strong masters. Ranking is secondary.”
Nezha said indifferently, “Then let’s talk about it when the time comes! For now, I think I’d better watch the show.”
When it was Butcher An’s turn, the truly irritable Butcher An would definitely not admit defeat. Therefore, Butcher An lost gloriously. However, he broke Jia Tian’s s.h.i.+eld and heavily injured him.
When Jia Tian encountered Hua Lingyue, he finally tasted his first defeat. This was because his defense was good but his attack was not. When he encountered Hua Lingyue, who was a pure controller, Jia Tian only fought for a hundred seconds before he stopped and admitted defeat.
Jia Tian was a smart person. He knew that it was almost impossible for him to defeat Hua Lingyue. Instead of fighting her, he might as well admit defeat. This way, not only could he accelerate the battle, but he could also continue to acc.u.mulate winning streaks.
However, Feng Qingcheng also taught Jia Tian a lesson. Although the Magnetic Fire Storm couldn’t break through Jia Tian’s defense, its scorching power enveloped Jia Tian. Having no choice, Jia Tian could only charge at Feng Qingcheng.
However, Feng Qingcheng, who was born with the ability to control magnetic fields, had triggered the natural magnetic force without even moving, making it impossible for Jia Tian to hit her.
Jia Tian smiled. “I admit defeat.”
When Jia Tian lost two games in a row, the audience felt that under this rule, who could cheat?
But after Feng Qingcheng, all the way to the 26th contestant Jia Tian fought, Zhang Daqian, Jia Tian won another six games in a row.
When he met Zhang Daqian, he grinned and said, “Ye Fengliu, I’ve wanted to fight you for a long time. No one has ever been able to test your real strength. Why don’t you show me this time?”
Han Fei smiled casually. “OK! Take one slash from me and you can pa.s.s this level.”
Jia Tian’s face sank. “No one has ever defeated me with one attack, not even Zhang Xuanyu. I’d like to see how you can defeat me with one attack.”
In the spectator seats, Shui Dongze frowned slightly and said, “I hope Jia Tian can test out the real strength of this guy. Except for Zhang Xuanyu, my intuition tells me that this person is the most difficult to deal with.”
In the sky, on the side of the East Sword Pavilion, someone sighed. “It’s a pity that this person is not a sword cultivator. Otherwise, regardless of whether he can win or not, our East Sword Pavilion will definitely recruit him.”
Off the field, the audience cheered.
This was because the most mysterious guy in their hearts had met Jia Tian. Was there anything more exciting than this?
