Chapter 1264 The Semifinal Rules of the Team Compet.i.tion
Divine will was a manifestation of mental force condensed to the extreme. The mental force was divided into three levels: divine perception, divine will, and divine soul. Most of the geniuses present, such as Fa Wu, the monk from the West Little Buddhism Realm, the team leader of the Winged Man Valley, and the team leader of the Wandering Soul Realm, had only formed their divine perception and were still a long way from divine will.No one expected that this half-step Saint from the Immortal Cooking Realm would have divine will. It was simply against common sense and difficult to understand.
Looking at Bu Fang, who was radiating golden light in the arena, and the golden Phantom Spirit above his head, which was somewhat similar to his appearance and was emitting vast spiritual pressure, all the people present felt suffocated. Only then did they understand why Bu Fang was able to fight four Little Saints on his own and why he was able to create miracles repeatedly in the arena. It turned out that his mental force was so much stronger than everybody else!
The team leader of the Wandering Soul Realm was already petrified. Her seven orifices were bleeding continuously, and her face was full of fear.
‘Divine will? He has more than just divine will…’ the woman thought.
If Bu Fang only had divine will, she wouldn’t have bled even if she couldn’t get away unhurt. Although she had not yet formed her divine will, she had already formed her divine perception. Therefore, even if her mental force was weaker, she could still run away. The terrible thing was, she couldn’t run away.
‘There are great terrors in this little chef’s spirit sea!’
Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back, his whole body s.h.i.+ning with golden light. He looked at the Wandering Soul Realm expert coldly. All of a sudden, his divine will moved. The golden Phantom Spirit floated above his head, held out a hand, and pointed a finger at the woman.
The expert was instantly immobilized by a mighty pressure. She felt as if her mental force and divine perception were broken at that moment. She wanted to resist, but there was nothing she could do. The next moment, a finger pressed down on her.
A miserable howl immediately rang out as the terrible divine will kept oppressing the woman. At the same time, a golden fire burst out of her body and burned brightly.
In everyone’s shocked eyes, the invisible soul energy in her body seemed to fade away, and her eyes gradually became blank. Then, the golden fire on her body disappeared. Just like that, the team leader of the Wandering Soul Realm had become an idiot as well.
The G.o.d of Cooking Set was one of Bu Fang’s secrets. Now that she knew the secret, he naturally had to prevent it from leaking out.
The divine will faded away, and Bu Fang’s Vermilion Chef Robe no longer fluttered. He clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the woman who had become an idiot with indifferent eyes, and let out a soft breath.
Commander Mo Yuan flew over in a beam of light and landed in the arena. He looked at Bu Fang in astonishment. He was really shocked this time. Even he had only formed his divine perception. As for divine will, he had not even seen its shadow. However, this little chef, who was only a half-step Saint, had actually formed his divine will.
‘Perhaps this is the so-called… genius. It takes a lot of mental force to cook, and he may be gifted. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been such a great chef.’
“It’s over,” said Bu Fang.
Commander Mo Yuan recovered from the shock and nodded at Bu Fang. He then announced, “In this team match between the Immortal Cooking Realm and the Wandering Soul realm, the winner is the Immortal Cooking Realm. It has officially become one of the top ten teams and entered the semi-finals.”
Everyone outside the arena froze, and then looked at each other.
“The Immortal Cooking Realm is in the semi-finals? So simple?”
“Isn’t the Wandering Soul Realm a first-cla.s.s small world? Why are its contestants easier to defeat than the Blackwind Continent’s?”
Mo Yan, Zhu Yan, and the others were very confused. The way they looked at the Wandering Soul Realm contestants became very strange. ‘Is this a first-cla.s.s small world? It doesn’t appear to be too strong… We’ve won this match so easily.’
Meanwhile, in the Immortal Cooking Realm, the people in the square were suppressing their laughter. This team match was a bit too easy. The so-called Wandering Soul Realm seemed to have gained some false reputation. Although it was said to be on the same level as a first-cla.s.s world like the West Little Buddhism Realm, it appeared to be extremely weak.
The way the West Little Buddhism Realm experts looked at Bu Fang had changed. The fact that he had formed his divine will and easily defeated the Wandering Soul Realm was enough to make everyone learn about his frightening talent.
“This is the real example of one person holding up a world!” Some people couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
The match was over. Bu Fang walked out of the arena leisurely. He didn’t leave, however, but waited like everyone else. There were still a few matches to come, and when they were over, Commander Mo Yuan would announce the rules for tomorrow’s semi-finals. He had revealed that the semi-finals would not continue to be arena matches, so Bu Fang had to pay attention to it.
Bu Fang hoped to make it to the finals and fight with the experts of Nether Prison. His goal, of course, was to meet the experts of the Nether Puppeteer Clan and get a Sacred Nether Puppet heart to repair Whitey. Therefore, he didn’t want to be eliminated so early.
No one dared to underestimate Bu Fang anymore. Although his physical body was not strong, he had divine will, which showed that his talent was absolutely extraordinary. Once this kind of expert stepped into the Little Saint realm, his cultivation base would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. The experts of all the first-cla.s.s small worlds, who didn’t take him seriously at all, began to think otherwise.
Bu Fang was very calm. He clasped his hands behind him and watched the match in the arena. The stall was closed early today, so he had the time to watch the compet.i.tion. This was also the first time he watched the match seriously.
The last team match would decide the last one of the top ten teams.
Soon, the contestants from both teams stepped into the arena. Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed when he saw them.
“The Abyss and the Vajra Realm?”
Looking at the two teams, Bu Fang’s expression became strange. He didn’t expect that these two would fight for the last spot. It was the experts from the Abyss and the Vajra Realm who jointly attacked him yesterday, and today they were fighting each other.
The Vajra Realm team was obviously at a disadvantage. It was originally very strong. With Yi Zhu, a top Little Saint, leading the team, it was actually not weaker than the Wandering Soul Realm team. However, he was killed by Bu Fang, who was possessed by the White Tiger. In addition, its two Little Saints were seriously injured in yesterday’s attack. It was a little dangerous for them to face the Abyss team now.
Because of yesterday’s attack, all the contestants of the Vajra Realm were disqualified from the individual compet.i.tion, so the team compet.i.tion became their only hope. They didn’t want to be eliminated and go back in disgrace. So, they would fight with all their might today.
The battle broke out in an instant. Although the Vajra Realm Little Saint was injured, he still had to fight. After all, all the Abyss contestants were Little Saints, and the Vajra Realm half-step Saints were not as gifted as Bu Fang, who could fight four Little Saints alone.
The two Little Saints fought each other fiercely in the arena, instantly making the audience excited. The match would decide the final team in the semi-finals of the team compet.i.tion, so many people were very interested.
Slas.h.!.+
Suddenly, the audience gasped, and their pupils constricted. A huge head shot up into the sky, spewing blood. The Vajra Realm expert’s head was cut off by the Abyss expert with a scythe. The next moment, the head fell to the ground and kept rolling.
The whole audience was silent as a strong smell of blood spread in the air. The Abyss expert smiled coldly, put away his scythe, and walked out of the arena.
The Vajra Realm lost another Little Saint. The rest of its contestants were so angry that their whole bodies were almost wrapped in flames of fury.
In the second match, the Abyss expert attacked only with lethal moves. Soon, another Vajra Realm Little Saint was beheaded.
In the third match… the Vajra Realm gave up and withdrew from the team compet.i.tion.
The Abyss team, which had killed all its opponents, had succeeded in advancing to the semi-finals and becoming one of the top ten teams. Its contestants, surrounded in a strong smell of blood, looked like blades in the arena, flas.h.i.+ng with a sharpness that stung people’s eyes.
The top ten teams stepped into the arena. Most of them were first-cla.s.s small worlds, including the West Little Buddhism Realm, the Winged Man Valley, the Abyss, and Earth Prison. Of course, there were also several second-cla.s.s small worlds and a third-cla.s.s small world. These were the teams that would fight in the semi-finals.
The semi-finals were extremely cruel. As all know, only three teams could make it to the finals and face the two teams from Nether Prison.
Commander Mo Yuan stood in the middle of the arena. Suddenly, four figures flew whistling across the sky and landed in the arena. Mighty auras spread out of them, causing the pupils of every contestant to constrict.
The Little Saints present were basically One-revolution Little Saints. They were all the top experts and geniuses in their own small worlds, so they represented their small worlds in this tournament. However, in the face of the four figures who had just descended into the arena, they all felt depressed.
They were the four Prison Overlords of Earth Prison―Jin Jiao with the Corpse Ghost Soul Sealing Fan on his back, Yin Jiao with the Primal Chaos Gold Gourd, the pink-haired Luo Ji with a hot figure, and You Ji with the Overbearing Hefty Sword on her back, who was in charge of keeping order.
Bu Fang was quite familiar with them, so when he saw them, he was slightly stunned. He finally met these Earth Prison Overlords again. When they were in the Immortal Cooking Realm, they were oppressed by the Will of the Great Path, so they could not fully exert their power. Even so, they were already very strong. Now, seeing them again, he finally felt their true strength.
Each of them was a top expert among the Little Saints. Although their auras were much weaker than Bi Luo, the Empress of the G.o.ddess City, they were strong enough to oversee the tournament.
“The semi-finals of the team compet.i.tion and the individual compet.i.tion will be held tomorrow.” Jin Jiao was the one who would announce the rules. He was a burly man, and just by standing there, he could make people feel oppressed, and when his eyes rolled, everyone shuddered.
“The rules for the semi-finals of the team compet.i.tion have changed. The team compet.i.tion is inherently about teamwork, but arena matches cannot fully demonstrate your teamwork. Because of this, the organizers changed the rules.
“The venue of the semi-finals will start from the bank of the Yellow Spring River outside the Forbidden Soul City and go all the way to the source of the river, the Yellow Spring Town. Each team will have a jade plate. The plates have two colors, black and white, with the words Earth and Prison written on them.
“The teams that will arrive in the Yellow Spring Town with two jade plates of Earth and Prison are considered to have successfully stepped into the finals. However, I don’t expect five teams to get the jade plates, because from the semi-finals onward, your life and death will be decided by destiny. There is no restriction on killing in the semi-finals. We only look at jade plates. If you don’t have the jade plates of Earth and Prison, even if you kill all the other teams, you won’t be able to step into the finals.”
Jin Jiao’s commanding voice resounded through the audience, making everyone gasp. The semi-finals that only looked at jade plates with no restriction on killing… Just listening to the rules made everyone shudder.
“Yellow Spring Town is on the other side of the Yellow Spring River, so you’ll have to cross the river to reach it. By the way, let me give you a friendly reminder that there are many treasures along the river. On your way to the town, if you encounter any treasures, you are allowed to acquire them, because it is your fated chance. Of course, with luck comes misfortune. There will be all kinds of savage monsters and disasters waiting for you along the way.
“In any case, what we want to see is the combination of Earth and Prison jade plates,” Jin Jiao said in a faint tone, putting his hands behind his back.
“This is the semi-finals of the team compet.i.tion. This is the cruel Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path.”
As his voice rang through the air, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts, making their pupils constrict.
