84: Final Martial Arts Test Rules

Twenty-five into thirteen, or rather, twenty-four into thirteen.

After all, there was one extra Student as an empty slot.

Not only that, but in the second round, the fifty people eliminated from the one hundred into fifty knockout were grouped together for a knockout round to determine the final two spots.

In the third round, the twenty-five people eliminated from the fifty into twenty-five were grouped together to determine the last person.

It was still a chaotic battle mode. After the two groups determined the final three people, they would join the thirteen people who advanced in this round.

A total of sixteen people would become the top sixteen, and then they would continue with one-on-one battles until the champion was decided.

The battles after the top sixteen would no longer be held simultaneously in multiple matches as they were now.

Instead, they would be held one by one in public.

After all, the Students who had made it this far all possessed a certain level of strength.

Their ultimate goal was still to show their combat skills to the various admissions teachers.

There was nothing more detailed than one battle at a time.

However, none of this made any difference to Jiang Yuan.

He did not pay attention to these things either.

He only needed to be led by Nezha and keep winning.

Jiang Yuan indeed had this confidence.

Not to mention Nezha, just by himself, he could barely enter the top sixteen.

It was just that the fighting looked a bit unsightly.

Constantly entering and exiting the Linglong Pagoda.

But that was truly a bit unsightly.

Moreover, the drawback was that if he encountered a powerful Student like Jiang Lingyun, under the suppression of the battle rhythm, Jiang Yuan would still be unable to win.

But who told us we have Nezha!

Naturally, there was no need to worry about such small problems.

He had already made it into the top one hundred through his own efforts and had even defeated one person in a one-on-one battle.

Jiang Yuan was already satisfied.

The rest of the matters would be left to Nezha.

After Jiang Yuan swaggered onto the stage, it was still the same set of Skill Cards.

Nezha—Jade Purification Bottle—Fire Tipped Spear—Linglong Pagoda.

His current opponent did not even require wind-fire wheels; Nezha with the Fire Tipped Spear could handle it.

Moreover, the appearance of the Fire Tipped Spear was merely to allow Nezha to end the battle more quickly.

After doing all of this, he would quietly settle into the Linglong Pagoda and watch Nezha defeat his opponent, and it would be over.

Speaking of which, it seemed he was also about to reach the Star Epoch Late Stage.

After Nezha quickly defeated his opponent and ended the battle, Jiang Yuan also returned to his seat, watching the chaotic battle while lost in thought.

The three stars representing the Xing Ji Stage had all lit up at this moment.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the light of the third star was somewhat dimmer than the first two stars.

When the light of the third star also flickered like the first two stars, then he would reach the Star Epoch Late Stage.

As for breaking through to the second realm, Xuanxiao Stage, he would need to connect the three stars of the Star Epoch Late Stage to each other, and only then could they illuminate the three stars of the Xuanxiao Stage.

Looking at himself now, Jiang Yuan estimated that he might be able to reach the Star Epoch Late Stage within two or three days after the martial arts test ended.

With the blessing of the Gathering Star Array, his cultivation speed was still very fast.

Currently, Jiang Yuan had two Gathering Star Arrays.

One was activated around eight o'clock, and after preparing what he needed to prepare and completing what he needed to do, he would begin cultivating around eleven o'clock.

At the same time, he would activate the second Gathering Star Array.

Because Jiang Yuan had calculated that if no one was absorbing Star Power in the Gathering Star Array, then the Gathering Star Array would take about four to five hours to fill up with Star Power.

If Jiang Yuan was cultivating inside, it would take about six hours to fill up.

In other words, at first, he would cultivate in the Gathering Star Array with the highest Star Power concentration when the first Gathering Star Array was about to disappear around three or four in the morning of the next day.

When the first one disappeared, the second Gathering Star Array would also be almost full of Star Power. At this time, Jiang Yuan could cultivate at the fastest speed in the second Gathering Star Array.

This was the reason why Jiang Yuan's cultivation progress had already surpassed Mu Qianshan's in the past half a month.

One should know that Mu Qianshan's cultivation speed was already considered fast, but he had only just lit up all three stars.

He was still about half a month away from truly reaching the Star Epoch Late Stage.

It was a pity that the Gathering Star Array could not be merged at present, otherwise it would not be so troublesome.

Perhaps improving the quality of the Gathering Star Array later would make things much better.

Or, create another array Skill Card, one where Star Power would directly drill into the body upon entering.

However, this was just a thought for now. The Gathering Star Array was already a blue-quality Skill Card.

His current mental power did not yet support the creation of purple-quality Skill Cards.

Jiang Yuan was lost in thought, completely unaware that Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan had returned.

“Did it succeed?”

“No…”

Zhou Dongshan shook his head with a mournful face.

After the previous chaotic battle, they had all tacitly agreed on a strategy.

As long as the Linglong Pagoda was on the field, the moment the Linglong Pagoda disappeared was the moment the Linglong Pagoda's Card Master was eliminated!

The Linglong Pagoda was too disgusting for chaotic battle situations.

It was completely like sitting on a mountain watching tigers fight, then reaping the benefits of the fishermen.

Who could tolerate this?

Openly taking advantage?

So, undoubtedly, Zhou Dongshan was eliminated the moment his Linglong Pagoda's duration ended.

Even though his combat power was not weak, he could not withstand the attacks of so many people on him.

“Tsk, there’s nothing we can do.”

Mu Qianshan was also a bit helpless. This kind of chaotic battle not only depended on strength but also on luck.

Unless one's strength was so great, like him, a Zifu Sword in the first round made everyone dare not approach.

Well, except for Jiang Yuan, most of the people who advanced in the first round were not weak.

Oh, right.

After Jiang Yuan transferred to a Skill Card Master, his strength did not seem too weak either.

Mu Qianshan looked at Jiang Yuan, who was turning his head blankly, then secretly nodded.

“How was it?”

Jiang Yuan turned his head and saw Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan, then he came back to his senses and asked the two of them.

“What were you doing just now? You look like you just woke up. I advanced, and he failed again.”

“Again…”

After Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Zhou Dongshan was on the verge of tears, running to the side and curling up into a large ball of flesh to grieve alone.

What did he mean by 'again'!

“Alright, the top sixteen battles will be tomorrow, right?” Jiang Yuan looked at the time and asked Mu Qianshan curiously.

“Hmm, pretty much. After all, the chaotic battle of those fifty people hasn’t ended yet.”

Mu Qianshan nodded and looked at the battle in the Martial Arts Arena.

Only the chaotic battle of fifty people remained unfinished.

But it was almost over; there were only four people left on the stage now.

The other three were unfamiliar, but Jiang Yuan was quite familiar with the golden-haired Jiang Lingyun.

Jiang Lingyun had an excited smile on her face. After another drop of Sweet Dew Water fell from the Jade Purification Bottle above her head, three more white-quality Skill Cards appeared in front of Jiang Lingyun.

A barrage of attacks!
