Chapter 94 The Pawns of the Reverse Star Alliance
On the sign for Kuixing Island, several names had already been crossed out before the competition even started.
The remaining Core Formation cultivators who did not withdraw from the competition remained calm and showed no signs of distress.
"Heh, he's just a spoiled brat relying on his father's reputation. If I draw him in the next round, I'll teach him a lesson in real strength."
One of the burly, one-eyed men snorted coldly, his body radiating a menacing aura, clearly someone who had spent years licking blood from the edge of a knife.
"Once you're on this stage, as long as you beat him within the rules, even if Master Sanyang himself comes, as long as you still have some face, you can't openly retaliate."
This is a golden opportunity to make a name for oneself by stepping on the young master of the Qingyang Sect.
Beside him stood a middle-aged scholar dressed as a man, but with sinister eyes, who spoke while waving a feather fan.
"That's right, what a load of bull, what a useless young master, he's nothing but a pretty face."
Judging from his delicate skin and the way he rides on the float, how much combat experience could he possibly have? His cultivation level must have been built up with pills.
When I draw him in the next round, I'll use my "Overturning the Seas and Waves Technique" to loosen his muscles and bones, and let him know that fighting in the arena is not child's play.
"At that time, in front of the Star Palace Elder and so many fellow Daoists, I will defeat him honorably and seize the position of Island Lord. Even that Three Yang Old Demon won't be able to utter a word of objection."
Xiao Dapeng of the Giant Whale Gang was the most arrogant.
Because he has someone backing him.
As long as they defeat Qingfeng in the arena, the forces behind them can also oppose Qingyang Sect.
The more Xiao Dapeng thought about it, the more convinced he became, and a surge of pride welled up within him.
He could almost see himself defeating Qingfeng and ascending to the throne of island lord amidst the shocked and worshipful gazes of the crowd.
The other cultivators who hadn't quit beside him nodded in agreement after hearing Xiao Dapeng's words, finding them reasonable.
If they win the competition in full view of everyone, the Three Yang Old Demon will have no reason to cause trouble.
"Interesting, interesting."
On the high platform, Elder Jin Kui's lips curled up slightly.
His gaze swept over Xiao Dapeng and the others, then swept over the pink float.
He had clearly overheard what Xiao Dapeng and the others were saying.
At this moment, Qingfeng completely ignored those hostile and contemptuous looks.
He returned to his flower-decorated car and smiled slightly at the four women.
"I was lucky; I got a bye in the first round."
Qingfeng sat down by the window, ready to watch the arena match in a while.
"Among the competitors for Kui Xing Island this time, I see that several are late-stage Core Formation cultivators, so it seems they came prepared."
"If you are chosen by the young master, you should still be careful in your dealings."
Wang Ning's purple eyes gleamed with a spiritual light, clearly indicating that she was using some observation techniques passed down from the Miaoyin Sect.
"It's alright. I failed in the first round, so I can take a look at what tricks they have up their sleeves."
You four can also take a look at the various fighting contests on the other arenas; they're quite diverse.
After all, such a large-scale battle between Core Formation cultivators only happens once every hundred years.
Qingfeng said with a relaxed expression.
He didn't take the upcoming arena match to heart.
"Kui Xing Island Arena, Match 1: Wang Chen vs. Xiao Dapeng!"
The Star Palace Steward in charge of the Kui Xing Island arena announced the start of the competition.
A middle-aged monk in a gray robe and a burly, shirtless man leaped onto the arena at the same time.
Wang Chen, dressed in gray robes, held a white jade whisk in his hand, his expression solemn.
Xiao Dapeng carried a dark blue harpoon, grinning to reveal his gleaming white teeth.
Both were at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and their strength was comparable.
"I didn't expect the first game to be so good!"
That Wang Chen was a rogue cultivator who practiced Confucianism and Taoism, and his wood-escape technique was incredibly advanced.
Xiao Dapeng was even more famous, being the leader of the Giant Whale Gang…”
Below the arena, some of the knowledgeable cultivators began to explain the identities and backgrounds of the two people on stage.
"It's starting! It's starting!"
As the Star Palace steward activated the arena isolation array.
Kui Xing Island, Round One, Match One begins.
On the arena, the cultivator Wang Chen flicked his whisk, and hundreds of strands of green hair instantly transformed into countless green vines that wrapped around Xiao Dapeng.
The entire arena was instantly filled!
"Hmph, a mere trick!"
Xiao Dapeng of the Giant Whale Gang, a fierce glint in his eyes, suddenly plunged his harpoon into the ground.
A surge of blue waves appeared out of nowhere, transforming into several water dragons that collided violently with the green vines.
Amidst a deafening roar, the spiritual energies of water and wood collided, causing mist to billow from the arena.
Seeing this, Wang Chen changed his hand seals and waved his whisk again: "Azure Wood Transformation!"
The countless green vines suddenly contracted, condensing into dozens of emerald green wooden spears, which shot towards Xiao Dapeng with a sharp whistling sound.
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Dapeng laughed wildly, and as he swung his harpoon, a thick water shield appeared around him.
The flying sword struck the water shield, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, only causing ripples.
"My turn! Mystic Water Thunder!"
Xiao Dapeng held a harpoon and pointed it at Wang Chen.
From the mist above the arena, streaks of blue lightning struck down.
Wang Chen hurriedly used the Wood Release teleportation technique, leaving behind afterimages on the arena.
However, the lightning grew denser and denser, and finally a water mine struck Wang Chen's left shoulder.
He grunted, his movements faltered slightly, and more mines followed.
"Stop! I surrender!"
Wang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly shouted.
"Xiao Dapeng wins!"
The Star Palace steward beside the arena immediately activated the arena's magic array, and a golden light rose from the arena, blocking the remaining water mines.
"Stop! I surrender!"
Wang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly shouted.
"Xiao Dapeng wins!"
The Star Palace steward beside the arena immediately activated the arena's magic array, and a golden light rose from the arena, blocking the remaining water mines.
"If you don't have the ability, don't bother joining the fun. I'm going to take the position of master of Kui Xing Island!"
Xiao Dapeng smugly retracted his harpoon and gave Qingfeng and the others below the stage a provocative look.
"His water-thunder magic is somewhat similar to the innate divine power of that infant carp beast."
Qingfeng memorized all of his opponent's methods.
First round, second match.
They were all cultivators at the Core Formation stage, but only at the ordinary early Core Formation level, with strength similar to Elder Gu and Elder Miao.
Compared to the previous battle, this one was far inferior.
This also illustrates that there are differences among Core Formation cultivators.
Meanwhile, fierce battles were also taking place on the other arenas.
Some low-level cultivators below the arena were even more excited and exclaimed as they watched the spells clashing and the magical treasures exchanging blows on the stage.
"On the Kui Xing Island arena, Li Ren faces off against Ying Sha."
Upon hearing Li Ren's name, the cultivators near the arena began to discuss it.
"Who is this person?"
"I heard he's an elder from the Six-Hall Hall."
"Oh, I see. So it seems that the Six-Hall Palace still doesn't want to give up the position of the Lord of Kui Xing Island, and has sent people to compete for it again."
"Yes, the competition for the position of owner of Kui Xing Island is fierce."
"I've heard that Shadow Fiend is a well-known bounty hunter. Li Ren is probably doomed to lose."
"Yes, he accepted every kill order issued by the Star Palace, and the number of cultivators who died at his hands is too many to count on two hands."
"Hehe, anyway, I bet twenty spirit stones in advance on Shadow Fiend winning. I can finally recoup some of my losses this time, after losing the previous two bets."
Inside the float, Qingfeng overheard the private conversations between the cultivators around him.
"Huh? Does anyone even dare to open a sale here?"
Upon hearing that there was a bookmaker involved in the betting war, Qingfeng became interested.
He might not be able to win in other arenas, but he could easily manipulate things behind the scenes and make a small profit on Kui Xing Island.
