Chapter 794: Challenge Tournament

As Venerable Tianji finished speaking, the atmosphere in the White Jade Plaza was ignited once again.

Although some people continued to focus on Ye Wudao, more people turned their gazes toward the arenas engraved with numbers.

Almost at the same time, the Prodigies on several arenas moved simultaneously!

"I want to challenge Zhang Lin, ranked 60th on the prodigy ranking list!"

A young man standing on the No. 93 Arena immediately moved, leaping from his own arena to the No. 60 Arena.

"I, Wang Mang, challenge the 84th place on the prodigy ranking list!"

The sturdy man Wang Mang, who was standing below the arena, also stomped on the ground and charged toward the No. 84 Arena.

Many more Cultivators launched challenges simultaneously, rushing toward the arenas where their opponents were located.

Whether they were Prodigies already on the list or Prodigies like Wang Mang who had not yet entered the list, all were very clear about one thing.

That is, the biggest variables in this Prodigy Ranking Tournament were Ye Wudao and Yue Liuli.

Ye Wudao's cultivation had reached the Tongyou Realm Tenth Stage, so he likely wouldn't challenge someone with a lower cultivation level; otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

But Yue Liuli was not necessarily the same.

If she chose to start challenging from the lower-ranked arenas for safety, then who knew if they would run into Yue Liuli?

One had to know that once they accepted a challenge and failed, they would be eliminated.

It would be better to secure a victory now; while occupying a spot for themselves, they could also demonstrate their strength so that Yue Liuli would have an assessment.

It was not just those who were unsure of their own positions who moved.

Those young Cultivators who wanted to improve their rankings and hoped to at least enter the top ten also moved.

"I want to challenge the Fellow Daoist on the No. 21 Arena, Zhao Kuo!"

Lin Qingxue's crisp voice rang out, and at the same time, her figure moved.

The next moment, she leaped directly from the No. 97 Arena onto the No. 21 Arena.

During the last Prodigy Ranking Tournament, Lin Qingxue was plagued by the burning cold poison, which could be said to be her weakest moment in terms of combat power.

At that time, she had tried her best and only managed to squeeze into the prodigy ranking list, occupying the 97th place.

But now the poison in her body had been neutralized, and she had no more reservations when attacking.

Therefore, as soon as she came up, she directly chose Zhao Kuo, who was ranked 21st and also had a cultivation of the Tongyou Realm Eighth Stage!

Of course, this choice of hers was not made on a whim.

Her Master, Shangguan Qing, had long helped her screen various opponents through various investigations.

Zhao Kuo was one of them.

On the other side, Zhou Yuanyuan was not to be outdone and said loudly:

"I, Zhou Yuanyuan, challenge the 22nd place, Sun Yi!"

While speaking, she also rushed toward the No. 22 Arena.

For this Prodigy Ranking Tournament, Branch President Zhou Zhengqi had given Zhou Yuanyuan a task: she had to at least enter the top twenty.

Although Zhou Yuanyuan liked excitement, she was not the type of person to act recklessly.

She had no intention of challenging the 20th place directly; she would rather test the waters with Sun Yi, who was in 22nd place!

Immediately after, Crown Prince Chen Youdao and Princess Ji Ruxue also moved.

"I want to challenge Wu Hao!"

Crown Prince Chen Youdao gave an arrogant cold snort, his golden robe shining brightly, and while speaking, he jumped from his own arena to the No. 20 Arena.

Princess Ji Ruxue's speed was not slow either.

Her fiery red long hair traced an arc in the air, resembling a meteor.

By the time the meteor stopped its movement, she was already standing on the No. 24 Arena, slightly cupping her hands to the young female Cultivator standing on it, and said:

"Princess Ji Ruxue of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, please!"

Before she had finished speaking, the aura of the Tongyou Realm Eighth Stage erupted directly from her body, aggressively crushing toward the female Cultivator opposite her.

The female Cultivator gave a cold snort, immediately summoned her weapon, and engaged her in battle!

The same scene occurred one after another on other arenas.

In just over ten breaths of time, nearly twenty arenas had welcomed challengers, and intense battles erupted simultaneously.

For a time, spiritual power lights soared into the sky, and the roaring sounds rose and fell, dazzling the eyes.

Looking at this heated scene, burning Battle Intent also ignited in Yue Liuli's beautiful eyes.

She glanced at Ye Wudao beside her, her hand gripping the ice soul sword tightening slightly, and said:

"Junior Brother, I am going to initiate a challenge as well!"

She did not want to continue winning by just lying down.

In the previous elimination round, Ye Wudao's obstruction was indeed reasonable.

When there was no need to attack, she indeed did not need to waste her strength.

But now, it was time to attack.

Yue Liuli wanted to use her own sword to fight for her own position.

Most importantly, she also wanted to fight for the qualification to stand beside Ye Wudao!

Elder Yin Changhong did not miss that look she gave Ye Wudao, and he knew in his heart that her girlish thoughts had emerged again.

However, this was also good; pressure creates motivation.

The stronger Yue Liuli's strength was, the further she would be able to accompany Ye Wudao in the future.

As her Master, Elder Yin Changhong had always been happy to see this.

He stroked his beard and smiled, saying:

"Go ahead, Master believes in you."

"However, Liuli, you should find a safe position first."

"With a baseline, you can then display your skills to your heart's content!"

Ye Wudao also gave her an encouraging smile and said:

"Senior Sister, I believe in you."

Yue Liuli nodded heavily, took a deep breath, scanned the crystal ranking list with her eyes, and finally locked onto a name.

The next moment, her figure moved, turning into a white stream of light, and she landed gracefully on the No. 15 Arena.

"Yue Liuli of the Dongyi Divine Kingdom, please!"

Yue Liuli cupped her hands in a salute, greeting the young man standing on the No. 15 Arena.

The owner of the No. 15 Arena was named Fang Heng, a Sword Cultivator with a cold expression, whose cultivation was also at the Tongyou Realm Eighth Stage.

Seeing Yue Liuli land on his arena, a flash of gravity crossed his eyes, and he also cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yue, please!"

He did not waste words; the moment his voice fell, his long sword was unsheathed, and sharp Sword Intent soared into the sky.

Yue Liuli did not show weakness either; the ice soul sword emitted a crisp sword cry, and the extreme cold Qi instantly spread out.

Both of them shouted explosively at the same time and moved simultaneously!

Fang Heng's swordsmanship was grand and open; every sword strike carried a sharp whistle that tore through the air, resembling ocean waves, one after another, continuous and endless.

Yue Liuli's movement technique was elegant and agile.

She shuttled through the dense sword light, her figure graceful like a butterfly.

But every time the ice soul sword in her hand swung out, it brought up a sheet of ice crystals radiating coldness, constantly weakening Fang Heng's offensive.

The two confronted each other head-on, trading dozens of moves, and quickly confirmed what level of combat power the other possessed.

Yue Liuli appreciated this kind of upright opponent; after having a measure of things in her heart, she greeted Fang Heng and said:

"Fellow Daoist, I am going to attack with all my strength!"
