Helian Mengde chuckled, "Without a doubt, the top ten are the geniuses among geniuses, especially Xiao Zhang."
"Even though I, this great offering, have lost too many Ancestor Stones because of Xiao Zhang, I still want to commend him."
"It can be said that he has created one miracle after another, allowing us to witness incredible feats."
"Regardless of the final outcome, he is already the undisputed number one in the ancestral sage realm of our Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty. This status, I believe, will remain unshakable now and in the future!"
Helian Mengde is the great offering of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, primarily responsible for selecting talents for the dynasty. From his standpoint, he increasingly favored Tan Yun.
"Thank you for the praise, great offering. I am truly overwhelmed," Tan Yun looked up at Helian Mengde, his words expressing surprise, but in reality, he remained unfazed by praise or humiliation.
"Hahaha." Helian Mengde looked down at Tan Yun, stroking his beard and laughing, "To be honest, if you hadn't already taken a master, I would really want to take you as my disciple!"
After Helian Mengde finished laughing, he said, "As per the old rules, you will all rest tonight, and tomorrow we will continue the battle!"
The ten of them replied in unison, "Yes, great offering!"
...
The next day, at the hour of Chen.
Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the top ten had completed the draw under Helian Mengde's arrangement.
Qi Kong VS Situ Yu!
Ke Gu VS Liu Kongsheng!
Lu Chen VS Situ Quan!
Liu Konglong VS Zhan Yinghao!
Tan Yun VS Zheng Rufeng!
There is no doubt this will be five fierce battles.
On the Divine Pavilion, Helian Mengde's voice rang out, "Those who have entered the top ten are all extraordinary individuals. Every match will be something that I and everyone present do not wish to miss."
"Therefore, starting from the fifth round of the ten into five battle, it will be a one-on-one duel."
"The first matchup will be between the eldest son of the grand marshal of East Town, Qi Kong, and the eldest son of the grand marshal of North Town, Situ Yu!"
"The two of you, take the stage!"
As soon as Helian Mengde's words fell, Situ Yu, at the great perfection of the daoist realm, leaped onto the Heavenly Battle Platform.
"Whoosh!"
Qi Kong, at the sixth layer of the daoist realm, elegantly flew onto the Heavenly Battle Platform, standing face to face with Situ Yu.
Situ Yu's eyes revealed a fierce fighting spirit as he clasped his fists towards Qi Kong and said, "To be honest, I have never accepted you and have never recognized you as the number one in the daoist realm of our Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty."
"I’ll speak plainly, today I will defeat you!"
Faced with Situ Yu's provocation, Qi Kong shook his head, a dismissive smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Eldest Young Master Situ, if you are done speaking, can we start?"
Seeing himself ignored, a glint of killing intent flashed in Situ Yu's eyes. For a long time, the four grand marshals had been at odds, wishing nothing more than to eliminate each other to take control of the other's military power.
Thus, Situ Yu wanted to kill Qi Kong to relieve his father's worries. Once Qi Kong grew stronger, he would become a significant threat to his father!
Qi Kong felt the same way, wanting to kill Situ Yu, and preferably Situ Quan as well, leaving the grand marshal of North Town without a successor to ease his father Qi Long's burdens.
"Let’s begin!"
With a deep voice, Situ Yu unleashed a violent, dark death daoist power from within, and a pitch-black Square Heaven Painting Halberd appeared in his right hand out of thin air.
Immediately, a dark eye opened on Situ Yu's forehead, resembling a demonic manifestation. At the same time, his eyes and lips turned black!
"What is this..." On the Divine Pavilion, the grand marshal of East Town's pupils constricted sharply, as if realizing something. His expression grew unusually serious as he transmitted to Qi Kong, "Kong'er, do not be careless! This Situ Yu has activated the hidden bloodline of the Situ family and cultivated the clan guardian technique, the Sacred Demon God Technique!"
