The only thing that limited his strength was his martial art level, which was the exact opposite of the other old citizens.
That was because even if it was an Earth Level cultivation technique, Zhao Yu could still use technology points to cultivate it.
Moreover, it was extremely cost-effective. Cultivating an Earth Level cultivation technique to the Perfection Realm only cost 3,000 Technology Points.
Of course, in order to hide this, Zhao Yu pretended to practice a cultivation technique during this period of time, but he never revealed his true strength.
In ten days, his progress had increased by another level.
[Beginner Tier 2: 56%]
[Vitality: 224]
[Vision: 14971
[Current Technology Points: 14,588]
[Cultivation Technique: Low rank Earth Level: Mountain Splitting Art (Major achievement stage). Maximum attack limit of blood Qi that can be mobilized:
300]
After all, it was only a low rank Earth level cultivation method, and Zhao Yu was still reluctant to pull it to perfection.
The main reason was that his Vitality was only around 200. The Mastery Level
Mountain Splitting Art was enough for him to use.
The benefits from pulling it from major achievement stage to perfection weren’t great, and it will wasted more than 1,000 Technology Points for nothing.
Back in Blackstone Town, the Immortal Medicine Convention had already been heated up for ten days. It was already very popular, and there were discussions about the favorite to win everywhere.
Compared to before, the news about Zhao Yu’s was almost nonexistent and lack of attention now.
In the second round of matches, the opponent was still very weak, a guy who had just entered the second tier and hadn’t even started learning a earth level technique. Zhao Yu defeated him with a casual strike.
The third round of matches didn’t take long to start; it began the next day. The opponent was still a second-tier beginner, and Zhao Yu won easily.
Zhao Yu understood that this was Blackstone Town’s way of showing goodwill to him, ensuring he made it to the top hundred and giving him some magic potions.
In fact it wasn’t just him. At this moment, among those who had signed up to compete, there were nearly twenty other old-citizens who had made it to the top hundred, all of whom had advanced from the eight lower realms in the past one or two years.
After all, when it came to real strength, there were still one or two hundred members of the five great families under fifty years old who surpa.s.sed the old-citizens.
After the third round, Zhao Yu spent the few days of waiting slowly selling off the million first-tier coins he had on hand.
He obtained nearly twenty bottles of second-tier magic potions, each costing over fifty thousand coins. This price was possible only because he was Zhao Yu.
Finally, on the fifteenth day of the Immortal Medicine Convention, the elimination matches ended, and the top hundred matches officially began.
By this time, it had been twenty-five days since Zhao Yu had arrived here. In another five days, the envoy from Moon City would arrive.
As for the envoy from the state city, considering the travel distance, it would take about another month to arrive.
Meanwhile, the covert struggle between the w.a.n.g and Li families had reached a fever pitch. On the battlefield, both sides constantly targeted each other’s members.
For the other three families, this was good news, and naturally, they had no intention of intervening.
As for the match between Zhao Yu and Li Tian Ba, after discussions and arguments, it was finally settled.
It would take place on the fifth day after the start of the top hundred matches. The top hundred matches had ten matches per day, the same as before, with a round every five days. Zhao Yu’s first match in the top hundred would be against Li Tian Ba five days later.
This was the best result the Li family could achieve. After all, the w.a.n.g family was the top family, and in a real struggle, the Li family was still slightly inferior and could only secure this result.
Now, the Li family no longer hoped to take down the w.a.n.g family through this opportunity.
The main reason was that they discovered Zhao Yu wasn’t as crazy as they had imagined.
He hadn’t secretly sought out powerful old-citizens, nor had he taken action against Li Tian Ba.
It seemed that, to him, the death of two women was insignificant.
This made the Li family uncomfortable. They had designed this plan precisely because they knew about Zhao Yu’s past. As a result, they had torn their relationship with the w.a.n.g family but hadn’t caused much damage to them.
This was not a good outcome for them.
However, Zhao Yu was a King Slayer Rank 5 fighter and VIP to the state city.
Even if they were dissatisfied, they could not express it.
Thus, the day of Zhao Yu’s match against Li Tian Ba finally arrived. For ordinary people, their match wasn’t worth much attention, but for the higher-ups of the five great families, it was somewhat interesting. After all, this was a confrontation between a Rank 5 and a Rank 3 fighter. Although the result was almost certain, they wanted to see how far Zhao Yu could push Li Tian Ba.
For this match, no one was worried about Li Tian Ba’s safety; they were all emphasizing to the referee panel the importance of ensuring Zhao Yu’s safety. ■’Zhao Yu, if you can’t win, just surrender. There’s no shame in it. After all, you arrived more than four months later than Li Tian Ba…” w.a.n.g Yan Ran couldn’t help but advise him. Although others said that Zhao Yu had long given up on avenging his two women.
She felt his mental state was very suppressed, as if he was brewing something deeply inside him.
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, but his gaze was fixed on a group of people in the distance.
Li Tian Ba, whom he had seen in photos and videos, was now meeting in person for the first time.
To prevent them from meeting, the w.a.n.g family had kept their matches far apart during the elimination rounds.
So, it wasn’t until today that Zhao Yu saw Li Tian Ba for the first time.
As for Li Tian Ba, he didn’t take Zhao Yu seriously at all. He continued hunting and training as usual, not considering Zhao Yu’s revenge as anything significant.
At this moment, feeling Zhao Yu’s gaze, Li Tian Ba grinned and made a throat-slitting gesture.
■■Boss, I heard the people from Moon City are coming again today. Are you leaving this time?!” A subordinate asked in a low voice.
“It’s almost time to go…”
Seeing Zhao Yu’s expressionless face and lack of anger or confrontation, Li Tian Ba lost interest, “I’ve made great progress in my Earth Level technique and can go to Moon City now…”
“SO, if you win against that Rank 5 fighter today, will you get an extra reward from Moon City?’.”
“That’s not important. Being a Rank 5 at the first tier doesn’t mean you’ll be able to defeat the second or third tier fighter easily…
“This time, I want the world to know my name, Li Tian Ba…
Everyone knew Zhao Yu wanted to kill him, but little did they know, Li Tian Ba also wanted to kill Zhao Yu.
To him, a mere King Slayer Rank 5 was nothing. He believed that if he killed Zhao Yu, even if the state city questioned him, he could bear the responsibility. He was confident that he could achieve everything Zhao Yu had done.
After all, when he was dominating the Zhen realm, Zhao Yu was just a small fry whose name wasn’t even worth remembering.
in the future, he would defy the heavens and create a new destiny.
-Today’s final match, coincidentally, features people from the Zhen realm…”
“They are…”
“Li Tian Ba!”
“Zhao Yu!”
