Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

Qin Wuji looked at Shen Ye standing in the lightning, and for the first time did not immediately make a move.

His Thunder Prison Punishment is enough to severely injure an ordinary early-stage fourth-tier cultivator.

Shen Ye blocked it.

Despite being injured.

But it didn't fall.

This is even more shocking than being completely unharmed.

This means that Shen Ye, at the third rank, is now qualified to directly withstand a fourth-rank killing move.

Shen Ye raised his charred arm.

The Myriad Beasts Divine Pattern slowly repairs the damage to Qi and blood.

Night Feather landed on his shoulder, and Netherfire burned away the remaining lightning power.

The Candle Nine coiled around its feet, its deep blue pupils fixed on Qin Wuji.

Long Yuan pounded his chest, his fighting spirit only increasing.

Qin Wuji said in a deep voice:

"Shen Ye, you are indeed strong."

Shen Ye asked, "Continue?"

Qin Wuji gripped the Thunder Spear tightly.

"certainly."

Just as he was about to make another move, a notification came from the other side of the battlefield.

[The team from the capital city is now incapacitated.]

[Number of people remaining in the capital: 5]

Xiao Jue knocked down one of the capital's key players.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Chen's Mirror Domain encircled the flank of the capital.

Luo Lie stood guard at the fortress entrance and managed to stop two members of the Imperial Capital team who wanted to steal the core.

"Want to come in?"

"queue!"

Thunderhorn Tiger pounced, forcing one of them back.

The core of Nanjiang was not under any real threat.

On the contrary, in the capital, because Qin Wuji was being held back by Shen Ye, the team was becoming more and more scattered.

Qin Wuji realized this, and his expression darkened.

He can continue fighting Shen Ye.

They might not even lose.

But team offense and defense is not a one-man show.

If the capital city continues to drag on, it will be eliminated one by one by Nanjiang.

Shen Ye also noticed his hesitation.

"Withdraw now, there are five people left."

"If we fight again, you might be the only one left."

Qin Wuji sneered:

"Are you trying to persuade me?"

Shen Ye said, "I'm calculating the scores."

Qin Wuji's eyes turned cold.

"You think you've got this in the bag?"

Shen Ye did not answer.

He made a move immediately.

Night Feather Nether Phoenix Soul Burial pressed down.

The breath of the Nine-Nine Nether Dragon erupted from beneath Qin Wuji's feet.

Longyuan launched a frontal assault.

Shen Ye approached, knife in hand.

Four attacks landed simultaneously.

Qin Wuji unleashed his Thunder Prison Domain, forcefully breaking through the encirclement and killing.

But at that moment, Gu Chen's mirror image suddenly appeared behind him.

Shen Ye's figure was reflected by the mirror, directly passing over the outer perimeter of the Thunder Prison.

The back of the short sword struck Qin Wuji's shoulder.

boom!

Qin Wuji took a half step back.

Just half a step.

But that's enough.

A system notification sounded.

The core attack rhythm in the capital city has been interrupted.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jue took the opportunity to smash the temporary assembly formation in the capital.

Luo Lie also knocked down a member of the Imperial Capital team.

[Number of people remaining in the capital: 4]

Qin Wuji finally put away the Thunder Spear.

"The capital city concedes defeat."

The entire room fell silent.

A battlefield notification sounded immediately.

[Team Offense and Defense Round 3: Nanjiang wins.]

[Nanjiang Points: 9]

[The team's offensive and defensive phase has ended.]

[First Place: Nanjiang, 9 points.]

Second place: Mo Hai, 6 points.

Third place: Tianfu, 6 points.

[Fourth place: Beijing, 3 points.]

Eliminated: Northern Wilderness, East Sea.

Fourth in the capital city.

This was a ranking that no one dared to imagine before the start of the Nine Cities Prodigy Tournament.

It's not that Qin Wuji is weak.

The capital was crippled by Nanjiang in the first stage and then suppressed by Nanjiang in the third round.

In the spectator stands, the instructors from the capital city looked extremely grim.

Han Pojun slowly exhaled.

Three-game winning streak.

Nanjiang not only made it into the final rankings.

I still entered as the number one student.

The battlefield light faded.

The group from Nanjiang were teleported back to the rest area.

Luo Lie plopped down on the ground and laughed loudly.

"Three-game winning streak!"

"We've really pushed the capital city down to fourth place!"

Xiao Jue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Stop laughing, it's embarrassing."

Luo Lie asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Xiao Jue remained silent for a moment.

"Happy."

Gu Chen looked at Shen Ye.

"You're badly injured."

Shen Ye's arms still bore the marks of lightning burns.

Taking the Heavenly Punishment of Thunder Prison head-on just now came at a great cost.

Shen Ye said, "It can be restored."

Han Pojun walked over and tossed him a bottle of purple-gold liquid.

"I drank it."

Shen Ye took it and drank it down in one gulp.

The medicine took effect, and the lightning injuries to both arms were quickly relieved.

Han Pojun said in a deep voice:

"The final ranking battle begins tomorrow."

"The rules have just been announced."

"It's not a one-person, one-defeat situation."

"It's a battle of the reigning champion."

Everyone looked at him.

Han Pojun continued:

"Each of the four teams will send one person to defend their position."

The other teams will take turns challenging.

"Winning a match while defending the title earns one point."

"Win the challenge and take the title of champion."

The player with the highest total score at the end will be the winner of Nine Cities.

Luo Lie frowned:

"With this rule, the overall depth of the team is also very important."

Gu Chen said, "But the core issue is how long the strongest can hold out."

Xiao Jue looked at Shen Ye.

"You're going to defend your title?"

Shen Ye nodded.

"Um."

Han Pojun looked at him.

"You're injured today, and you still have to play tomorrow?"

Shen Ye said, "We must defend it."

"The Imperial Capital, the Demon Sea, and the Heavenly Palace all have four levels."

"No one else can hold it."

Han Pojun remained silent for a moment.

"Then you can only defend for a maximum of three games."

Shen Ye asked, "Why?"

Han Pojun said:

"Because if you're any harder today, your hand will be ruined."

Shen Ye thought for a moment.

"Then three games."

Luo Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chen glanced at Shen Ye.

He always felt that Shen Ye's so-called three matches and Han Pojun's understanding of the three matches might not be the same.

night.

Shen Ye returned to the rest room.

The system panel appears.

[Host: Shen Ye]

[Realm Level: Mid-Third Tier]

【Beast Tamer 1: Night Feather, Mid-Tier 3】

[Beast Tamer 2: Zhu Jiu, Early Stage 3]

[Beast Taming 3: Dragon Abyss, Mid-Tier 3]

Evolution Point: 10060

[Fusing Fragments: Thunder Prison Affinity, Myriad Soul Resistance, Flesh Regeneration, Soul Core Perception, etc.]

Shen Ye did not rest immediately.

I have to defend my title tomorrow.

He needs to be stronger.

"system."

"Fusing flesh and blood regeneration fragments."

[Merger successful.]

[The host gains the passive ability: Battle Body Self-Healing.]

"Invest evolution points to upgrade Candle Nine."

[Evolution Points Consumed: 4000]

[Candle Nine's level has been upgraded: Mid-Tier 3.]

[Nine Nether Dragon Breath Enhanced.]

Feeding back to the family.

Shen Ye's arm injuries have healed somewhat again.

He then looked at the remaining evolution points.

Ultimately, no further consumption occurred.

Tomorrow on the stage, a breakthrough may still be needed on the spot.

Shen Ye closed his eyes.

Night feathers landed by the window.

The candlestick is reflected in the shadow.

Longyuan sat against the wall.

The three beast tamers simultaneously entered the shallow cultivation stage.

Outside the window, the battlefield of Jiucheng was brightly lit.

tomorrow.

Final rankings.

Shen Ye wants to become the champion.

We also want all the geniuses of the Nine Cities to understand one thing.

Nanjiang's first place is not temporary.

From the moment Shen Ye stepped onto the stage, no one could take it away.
