After Lin Mo returned to the stands, the subsequent ring battle progressed at a very fast pace.
Some people are happy and some are worried on the stage.
Each round of challenge victory represents a replacement of the seat on the Enlightenment Platform.
Every failure in the challenge round also means a victory in defending the ring.
Unfortunately, the remaining few immortal seedlings who wanted to challenge the top 20 on the Immortal List did not succeed.
Moreover, most of the challenges ended with a crushing victory for the genius ranked 20th on the Immortal List.
It was not until this moment that both the qualified candidates in the waiting seats and the audience outside the venue realized how valuable the ninth level of the Enlightenment Platform was.
“As expected of a genius from the ninth level of the Enlightenment Cliff. Even though he is at the eighth level of Qi training, his strength far exceeds that of other immortal seedlings of the same level!”
The audience in the tavern couldn’t help but sigh.
“The Heavenly Dao Immortal Test is indeed not exaggerated at all.”
“Among the top ten on the Immortal Ranking, only Lin Mo has taken action. The others have not made any moves yet. I wonder how strong they are!”
“I heard that except for Lin Mo, the top ten have all reached the perfect stage of Qi training, and the remaining twenty are basically all at the 9th level of Qi training.”
“…”
Compared with the group of laymen in the tavern, the team leaders in the bamboo house are naturally much more knowledgeable.
“This year’s Immortal Ranking is indeed much more valuable than previous years. Even Ji Feng, who is ranked 20th, would have been ranked in the top ten in previous years, right?”
Senior Brother Li praised: “No wonder the teachers of the Taoist Academy revised the process of the third stage this year.”
Speaking of this, the team leader next to him asked curiously:
“Brother Li, what exactly are the procedures and rewards for this third stage? Why don’t you reveal a little bit in advance? Can’t you tell us now?”
Senior Brother Li smiled bitterly and said:
“Don’t embarrass me. This is the internal rule of the Taoist Academy. It cannot be announced until the end.”
Hearing him say this, the team leaders’ expressions became more curious.
The ring battle is the default competition for freshmen in the nine academies. However, the ring battle is not a friendly thing for the high-level immortal seedlings.
Especially for the geniuses on the ninth floor of the Enlightenment Platform, their positions have basically reached the top, and the increase in the enlightenment glow enjoyed by each other is almost the same, so there is no need for them to participate.
Therefore, in order to encourage these geniuses to actively participate, the nine major academies usually set rewards in advance and only require them to participate in the first month’s ring battles.
According to the regulations of previous years, the top ten will usually be rewarded with some spirit stones or cultivation elixirs, and the top three geniuses will receive some rare resources.
This year happens to be a rare year for the Immortal Examination in a decade. The top leaders of the nine major academies will naturally not be stingy. I believe that the rewards for this year’s arena battle will be better than those in previous years.
However, in order to avoid cheating due to favoritism, only Senior Brother Li, who was responsible for hosting the ring battle, knew the inside story. The other team leaders did not even know the process of the third stage, and naturally did not know what the rewards were.
Brother Li saw the curious looks of the leaders around him and said quickly:
“Don’t worry, fellow Taoists. The second phase is almost over and the process will be announced soon.”
Seeing that he was on high alert and unwilling to reveal details in advance, everyone gave up asking questions and turned their attention back to the ring.
However, in the eyes of the team leaders, apart from Ji Feng’s one-on-three fight at the beginning and Lin Mo’s one-on-two fight, the rest of the ring fights seemed somewhat boring.
how to say?
It feels a bit like “newbies fighting each other”!
There is no way, this is the competition for freshmen at level 1.
Due to their low cultivation level and limited spell types, the two sides in the battle could only make boring gestures and cast spells. In the eyes of these foundation-building monks, these battles seemed somewhat dull and boring.
In order to ease the atmosphere in the courtyard, the host, Senior Brother Li, tried his best to praise the more outstanding immortal seedlings in each Taoist temple. In the end, his mouth was dry and he had no words left.
Fortunately, each of the fifty ring battles was very quick, and in less than an hour and a half in total, the outcome was almost decided.
【Winner: Lei Wenlin.】
With the birth of the last winner of the ring battle, the second stage finally came to an end.
Senior Brother Li took a long breath of relief and complained in his heart:
It’s finally over. If I take this kind of hard job again, I’ll be a dog!
As he thought this, he stood up and started to practice the Taoist techniques again.
Soon, the host’s figure reappeared on the stage in the mirror and his voice rang in the ears of the audience and contestants:
“My fellow Taoists, the second phase of the Nine Daoist Academies’ freshman competition has ended, and we have finally entered the exciting third phase—”
“A peak melee in a moment!”
The sound reached everyone’s ears, which made the audience a little confused.
“Still a melee? What’s the difference between this and the first stage?” someone asked, but soon the host, Senior Brother Li, gave an answer:
“The third stage is limited to freshmen on the ninth floor of the Enlightenment Platform. You can choose whether to participate!”
“There is only one battle, with all players competing on the same stage. The time limit is 30 minutes, and the ranking will be calculated based on the order of elimination.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience who were watching the battle outside the Mirror Flower Water Moon immediately ignited.
“Oh my god, a fight among the top 20 on the Immortal Ranking! This is too crazy!”
“I knew there would be this big battle. It’s finally worth the money I paid for my booth!”
“Tsk tsk, I wonder who will be able to hold out to the end?”
“…”
At the same time, the team leaders in the bamboo courtyard were also shocked.
Senior Brother He, who had been “silented”, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
“It turned out to be a big melee!”
Another team leader also said: “Melee combat is the most challenging test of comprehensive combat power. I didn’t expect that the final battle would turn out like this!”
“Yes, if we are not careful, even a top scholar like Chu Wange will fail.”
“But… not everyone will participate, right?”
“Haha, whether to participate or not still depends on the reward. From what I see from Brother Li, the reward for this freshman competition shouldn’t be too cheap!”
Hearing this, Senior Brother Li, who was still controlling the substitute spell, smiled awkwardly, and then he stopped keeping the secret and directly said to all the geniuses in the stands while reciting the Dao formula:
“In addition, this competition has received strong support from the nine academies. Any contestant who participates in the competition will be rewarded with a low-grade Taiqing Pill.”
“The top ten will be rewarded with a middle-grade Taiqing Pill, the top five will be rewarded with a high-grade Taiqing Pill, and the top three will be rewarded with…”
“A ten-year-old Dao Yuan Fruit!”
Hearing this, the leaders of the bamboo building courtyard were suddenly shocked.
“A ten-year supply of Dao Yuan Fruits, and three at a time!”
“Tsk tsk, this is incredible! This is three times more than in previous years. It seems that the Taoist Academy has invested a lot of money this time!”
“I admire you so much. No wonder Brother Li said it at the end.”
“According to previous years, there would be at most one Dao Yuan Fruit, and the year is also five years, right?”
“…”
They discussed it one by one.
However, compared to their excitement, most of the geniuses in the stands actually had confused expressions on their faces.
Lin Mo is naturally the same.
When he heard the word Taiqing Pill, he understood that it was a rare pill for the foundation-building stage.
However, during this period of time, he had already obtained a mid-grade Taiqing Pill from Senior Sister Zhuang, and after entering Qingshan Sect, he was also given a Taiqing Pill in his gift package.
So when he heard about the reward, he was not too excited.
It’s just Dao Yuan Fruit…
It sounds so familiar, I think I heard Senior Sister Zhuang mention it?
Lin Mo thought about it carefully in his mind, but suddenly heard Long Ah’s exclamation behind him:
“Damn, three Dao Yuan Fruits!”
He turned around and asked curiously, “What on earth is this Dao Yuan Fruit?”
Many confused geniuses also cast their eyes in this direction.
Long Ah suddenly showed a simple smile on his face, waved his hand and said:
“Oh, it’s not a good thing. It just increases your Taoist age after taking it. We are still so young, we can’t use it!”
Lin Mo & Everyone looked at him: “…”
