Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 56 Competition
In the third round, the princess requires the selected participants to draw lots for one-on-one matches, with the top three then facing off against her one-on-one.

In the first match of the first round, Yu Jiachen of the Feathered Clan faced off against Asoni of the Beast Clan. Upon stepping onto the stage, the difference in their stature was striking. Asoni was tall and imposing, while Yu Jiachen was petite and delicate; the difference in height and weight was enormous, making it clear that Asoni was destined to win. However, things are unpredictable; let's wait and see! The battle began.

"Just admit defeat, or you'll suffer," Asoni said to Yu Jiachen with a hearty laugh.

"Bullshit, we don't know who will lose yet! Take this!" Yu Jiachen launched a lightning attack.

"Screech, screech, screech!" Lightning struck Asoni directly, crackling and sparking all over his body. However, Yu Jiachen's skill level was too low to pose a threat to Asoni. It was merely a tickle. Asoni unleashed his ultimate attack, the Vajra Hammer, sweeping outwards. The hammer's force created a fierce gust of wind, blowing Yu Jiachen several meters away. However, Yu Jiachen's flying skills were superb; with a turn, he flew back. The Winged Clan's flight and arrows were the most advanced. In an instant, he conjured a longbow, and three arrows, crackling with lightning, were launched. He had infused the arrows with lightning-attribute skills, making the energy of these three arrows unfathomable. Whoosh, whoosh, the three arrows were fired simultaneously, attacking Asoni directly.

With a series of booming sounds, three arrows struck Asoni in quick succession. Even the tough-skinned orc was badly injured, staggering back more than ten steps, his clothes torn. This attack completely enraged Asoni, causing him to erupt in fury.

"Take this, Hammer of Justice!" Asoni unleashed his strongest, deadly attack. His hammer instantly grew twice its size, energy swirling around its shaft with a whooshing sound. A gust of wind swept past, and Yu Jiachen was struck head-on.

"Thump! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Yu Jiachen was struck and sent deep underground, disappearing from sight. A bottomless pit appeared on the arena.

There was no movement for a while.

With a whoosh, Yu Jiachen flew out, his clothes tattered and clearly badly injured, but the fact that he could still fly meant he wasn't seriously hurt. He soared into the sky, circling above Asoni, spinning rapidly. A tornado gradually formed in the sky, growing larger and faster, before suddenly crashing down and striking Asoni directly. The downward impact caught Asoni off guard, rendering him immobile. The rapid spinning disoriented him, and he was swept away by the tornado, ultimately losing the match and being disqualified. Yu Jiachen won the contest.

The second match pitted the seventh-tier sea race warrior, Hai Shiqi, against the human Lan Yu. Lan Yu was only at the fifth tier, not even sixth, making this cross-tier challenge incredibly difficult. However, Lan Yu wasn't discouraged and still went to the stage to fight. Lan Yu's attributes and skills were no match for Hai Shiqi; he was completely suppressed. In the first round, Lan Yu unleashed a full-force Wind Blade Strike, which Hai Shiqi easily countered, failing to even scratch him. Undeterred, Lan Yu unleashed a tornado attack, but Hai Shiqi activated his full composure skill, remaining completely unmoved. This was a huge blow to Lan Yu, an insult to his own ego! In the end, Lan Yu was thoroughly beaten by Hai Shiqi, thrown out of the arena without any resistance, and defeated. Ten people won the first round, all by fair and square. The second round eliminated five more, leaving only five to compete for the top three spots in the third round. In terms of strength, the eighth-rank demon elite, Mo Tianxing, is the strongest among the five and will definitely advance. However, Mo Tianxing is arrogant and disdainful of everyone, looking down on other races. Anyone who fights with him will either die or be seriously injured. He never shows mercy to his opponents and looks down on them.

Mo Tianxing was facing off against another high-level expert from the Feather Clan—Yu Jiajie, a peak seventh-tier fighter. The two were evenly matched; their first round was a close contest, their attributes and skills mutually damaging, neither able to defeat the other in one move. The match was thrilling and the most exciting of the day, lasting an hour without a clear winner. It would be a shame for either to lose. However, Mo Tianxing was no saint, employing increasingly underhanded tactics that forced Yu Jiajie into a retreat, tilting the tide in Mo Tianxing's favor.

Mo Tianxing launched his final attack, gathering dark energy across the sky—the energy source of the demon race. He unleashed all his skills and attributes, merging them into the dark energy to create a super energy wave, which he then used to deliver the final blow to Yu Jiajie.

With a deafening roar and a burst of colorful light, accompanied by thunder, only a flash of white light obscured the figure of Yu Jiajie, who vanished into a vast expanse of white clouds, only to be quickly covered by a dark cloud. The battle was over. Yu Jiajie's injuries were severe; he had lost consciousness and it seemed it would take a long time for him to fully recover. His clansmen hurriedly took him back to their ancestral home for treatment. He had already left the underwater city to return to his ancestral home in the Feather Clan for healing. Mo Tianxing had emerged victorious.

Injuries during competitions are perfectly normal, and no one found it strange. If you're outmatched and get injured, you bear the consequences yourself; there's nothing wrong with it, so the competition continues. The second match is between Hai Shiqi and Yu Jiachen. Everyone has seen Hai Shiqi's strength; he's a higher-ranking warrior than Yu Jiachen. However, Yu Jiachen just won a victory against someone of a higher rank, putting Hai Shiqi under considerable pressure. He doesn't know how Yu Jiachen will fare. Yu Jiajie was severely injured by Mo Tianxing, which already fueled his resentment. The Feather Clan is putting immense pressure on him, and now he's facing Hai Shiqi, whose strength he knows. This match is incredibly difficult, doubly difficult!
As soon as Haishiqi entered the arena, Yu Jiachen launched an attack. Yu Jiachen knew that he had to strike first and take the initiative.

"Clap clap clap!" Yu Jiachen unleashed his ultimate attack, firing six arrows simultaneously, each arrow imbued with the power of lightning. This was his peak skill, and virtually no one of the same level could withstand this attack. However, Hai Shiqi was of a higher level than Yu Jiachen, and dared not be careless in the face of Yu Jiachen's ultimate attack. He immediately mobilized all his energy to resist with all his might.

Hai Shiqi, a high-level user of water-attribute skills, mobilized his strongest water elemental abilities, forming solid water walls in front of him to defend against Yu Jiachen's rapid-fire attack of six feathered arrows.

A series of metallic clangs rang out as the water wall in front of Hai Shiqi shattered and scattered, striking him directly and causing him to stumble backward several dozen steps, sustaining serious injuries. It seems Yu Jiachen's attack was truly formidable. Had Hai Shiqi not possessed higher-level strength, he would have been severely injured!
