Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

Page 220

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang and the other two showed no change in expression.

Zhou Haotian and Liu Yiyang's expressions changed.

Although they are indeed powerful, they cannot withstand repeated battles!

The constant battles and the resulting wear and tear on them were also very taxing.

If this continues, they will most likely lose to someone else.

Unfortunately, Hu Qian didn't give them a chance to refute him and left directly for the viewing platform.

With no other option, they went to the five prepared arenas.

Xiao Yang and the other two didn't seem to care.

Needless to say, Xiao Yang and Qing Lin could easily lay down enough poison on the stage to kill whoever went up.

The competition began quickly.

At first, few of the other 45 people dared to go on stage.

After all, the five people on stage were basically the strongest among them.

Even if they had the strength to defeat Xiao Yang and his group of five, they would not be able to defend this arena.

Therefore, no one dared to go first.

And so, the standoff lasted for more than ten minutes before someone dared to go up and challenge.

However, just as they had anticipated, the other side was quickly defeated.

Chapter 209 The Library

Seeing that this warrior had been defeated so easily, the others became even more hesitant to attack.

Just then, Qinglin's first opponent, Zeng Ke, who was being chased by the Hidden Killer Serpent, stepped forward.

"Everyone, we can't go on like this."

"Although we may indeed be weaker than those five."

"However, according to this rule, we still have a chance to defeat them."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zeng Ke.

Zeng Ke didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"We can draw lots to take turns wearing down the five of them in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit."

"Once they have exhausted their physical strength and fighting spirit, we will also have a chance to defeat them."

"Anyway, we have two chances to challenge them. We can wait until they are defeated before slowly vying for the final title."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed with the method.

Zeng Ke took out some slips of paper and started drawing lots.

They can take turns going up in order.

Just as numbers one through five were about to challenge Xiao Yang and his group, Zeng Ke quickly stopped them.

"Wait, we can't possibly defeat all five of them."

"The Hidden Killer Serpent of Azure Scale is beyond our ability to deal with; if we go up, we'll be instantly killed."

"Little Fairy Doctor could have waited until after the competition to detoxify us."

"Therefore, I suggest we focus our attention on Xiao Yang, Zhou Haotian, and Liu Yiyang."

Although everyone knew that Xiao Yang was very strong, his later opponents were relatively weak.

Therefore, no one knew just how strong Xiao Yang really was.

In their view, Xiao Yang should only be a high-star Grand Dou Master, just with a stronger physique.

After making their decision, everyone stepped forward to fight the three.

Just as Zeng Ke had expected, Zhou Haotian and Liu Yiyang were both somewhat exhausted after several battles.

However, to their surprise, Xiao Yang showed no signs of fatigue.

No matter who goes on stage, they are instantly defeated.

Moreover, even a three-star Grand Master was instantly killed with a single punch.

Seeing Xiao Yang's terrifying strength, no one had any intention of continuing the challenge.

They all set their sights on Zhou Haotian and Liu Yiyang.

The three of them looked at the other two with a hint of sympathy.

It's too awful.

Xiao Yang didn't know why the two of them wouldn't just admit defeat.

Anyway, they have two chances to take on the challenge.

Regardless of whether they lose a challenge opportunity the first time, they can wait until the time is almost up before going up again.

With their strength, they should be able to hold out for a short period of time.

All I can say is that these two are just full of fighting spirit.

Bored, Xiao Yang had no choice but to communicate with Little Fairy Doctor through telepathy across the arena.

Just as Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor were exchanging soul messages, an old man on the viewing platform glanced at Little Fairy Doctor with some surprise.

"Such powerful soul force!"

As he spoke, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, she uses poison-attribute fighting spirit."

As for Xiao Yang's soul fluctuations, he couldn't sense them at all.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great for him to perceive.

……

Soon, as time went by, three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, some people even tried to challenge Xiao Yang and his two companions.

But they were all instantly defeated by the three of them.

The three of them also secured a spot in the top five.

The remaining two are a two-star Grand Dou Master and Zeng Ke.

Zeng Ke was cunning; after a three-star Grandmaster became the champion, he allowed others to continue challenging him.

When time was almost up, he took advantage of his second chance to go all out.

In the end, he successfully defeated his opponent before time ran out and became the champion.

Hu Qian looked at the five people and made the announcement directly.

"I hereby announce that the top five are Xiao Yang, Little Fairy Doctor..."

As Hu Qian made the announcement, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Mission: Achieve top five in the Canaan Academy Outer Court Competition. Reward: Low-level Earth Rank Battle Skill "Heaven-Opening Palm". Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang had previously set up missions to defeat other students.

Unfortunately, all attempts failed.

After all, those trainees were too weak.

He tried to establish a quest to become an inner court student, but that also failed.

Ultimately, only this task was successfully established.

However, Xiao Yang was already quite satisfied.

Such a simple task, and there's even a Tier 1 combat skill as a reward.

This is already quite good.

"The five of you may go to the library at any time within the next seven days."

"Seven days later, all fifty of you will proceed to the inner courtyard."

Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance and then spoke directly.

"Dean, the three of us are ready to make our selections now."
