199: Temporary change, go to the battlefield

When Xia Qi saw the giant insect in front of him, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

This seemed to bear some resemblance to a certain Void Creature mentioned in records.

However, it also seemed different.

Xia Qi didn't bother with such thoughts and directly charged forward to kill it.

In the face of absolute strength, these Void Creatures were no match.

Xia Qi held his longsword, aimed at the Void Creature, and slashed.

A surge of ice power suddenly erupted from his body, spreading directly in all directions.

At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, with lightning constantly flashing within them.

Xia Qi channeled the lightning and struck with a single sword.

The lightning, mixed with fire, struck the Void Creature at an extremely fast speed.

But just then, the Void Creature opened its mouth wide.

A powerful suction force continuously drew the lightning into its belly.

Xia Qi was stunned by the scene before him; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

After swallowing the lightning, the Void Creature's belly appeared to have grown a size larger.

It seemed it couldn't eat too much.

Xia Qi gave up on using elemental skills and directly charged at the giant Void Creature with his sword.

In an instant, Xia Qi arrived in front of the Void Creature.

This Void Creature was several times taller than Xia Qi, estimated to be as tall as three or four stories.

It had sharp claws and spikes, as well as a distinctive tail.

Xia Qi immediately used Lingxu Sword, aiming at the Void Creature's body.

With the size of this large insect, Xia Qi was sure to hit it.

With one slash, a huge gash was left on the large insect's body.

A large amount of purple liquid gushed out from its body.

The enormous Void Creature spat out a pale purple light wave from its mouth, striking towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi used Instantaneous Movement and appeared behind the Void Creature.

He raised the sword in his hand above his head, and the five elements gathered once again.

This time, Xia Qi did not choose to strike from a distance.

Instead, he directly struck the back of the Void Creature.

The five elements rapidly exploded on the back of the Void Creature.

A large amount of purple liquid gushed out.

The Void Creature immediately let out a shriek.

Seeing that this attack did not immediately kill the Void Creature, Xia Qi kicked off its back and leaped high into the air.

Demon Slayer!

Lingxu Sword!

Countless materialized Flying Swords all pierced towards the Void Creature.

If these swords were not illusory, the Void Creature would probably have been turned into a pincushion.

However, at this moment, the back of the Void Creature was also a bloody mess.

If that could be called flesh and blood.

Seeing that he had not yet achieved victory, Xia Qi immediately launched his final attack.

With one slash, a crescent-shaped blood-colored Sword Qi was drawn.

The Sword Qi entered the Void Creature's body and began to wreak havoc.

In just a blink of an eye, the Void Creature dissipated.

A halo of light also appeared around Xia Qi.

“This, it’s over?”

Xia Qi had not yet used his full strength; he was merely testing the Void Creature's power just now.

He just didn't expect the opponent to be so weak.

Xia Qi was teleported back to the square; this time, he was again the first person to come out.

Void Creatures, the enemies he was encountering now were increasing.

Outside the arena, everyone looked at Xia Qi in disbelief.

They had thought Xia Qi would be the first to come out, but they hadn't expected it to be so fast.

The third round was even faster than the second; could the third round be simpler?

“I suspect Xia Qi has a System!”

“You've read too many novels!”

“Then you explain to me why he's so strong!”

“Can't you just admit someone else's excellence?”

“I…”

...

Xia Qi looked around; no one else had come out yet.

It seemed he was again the first person to come out.

However, the format of the subsequent competitions had not yet been announced.

At that time, he wondered what the situation would be.

He sat down again and began to recall the information he had mastered and the previous battles.

Now, no one below Rank forty should be his opponent.

The focus should be on the arena competition.

This arena competition had no Rank divisions, meaning Xia Qi could encounter people above Rank forty.

Above Rank forty, the strength would be much greater.

If they were those top Geniuses, a difference of more than ten Ranks could create a huge gap between them and ordinary people.

Currently, Xia Qi did not have an SSS-Rank talent; although he was not afraid, it was still somewhat lacking.

However, once his talent was upgraded again, everything would get better.

What he needed to do now was to obtain as many rewards as possible in the competition.

This way, he could improve his talent Rank faster.

As long as he raised his current talents to SSS-Rank, his strength would greatly increase.

For Xia Qi, what he lacked most now was time.

As long as he had time, he could earn enough money.

And with that, he could exchange for enough resources.

Xia Qi highly valued this arena competition.

Perhaps, this was an opportunity for him.

The higher the Rank, the better the rewards obtained would surely be.

By defeating stronger opponents as much as possible, he could obtain richer rewards.

His goal was the champion; then, he would truly get to see those powerhouses who were almost at the Third Transition.

Those people had all emerged from groups of Geniuses.

Thinking about it now, Xia Qi felt a little excited.

As time passed, an hour later, someone was finally teleported out.

This time, it wasn't Sima Mingyue, but a Scarface.

He looked quite mature, much older than Xia Qi.

However, being able to stand here meant that the other party was definitely not simple.

Scarface merely glanced at Xia Qi and then found a place to sit down.

The difficulty of the third round was very high, and the opponents were strong.

So it took more time to solve them.

The real Flame Demon King must be much more powerful than this Void Creature; however, for ordinary professionals, Void Creatures were more common encounters.

Only by understanding the characteristics of Void Creatures could one better deal with them.

There was only one Flame Demon King, but there were probably more than one nest of Void Creatures.

After a full five hours, everyone had finally arrived.

Those who had not been teleported back to the square had already left the God War Arena.

Originally, Xia Qi thought that today's assessment would end here.

Nothing else would happen, until that solemn voice came again, and everyone realized that things were not over.

“Individual competition, the top ten thousand, step forward!”

Upon hearing the voice, the top ten thousand participants of this elimination round all stepped forward.

Naturally, this included Xia Qi.

“Next, you will be sent to a battlefield.”

“This professional competition will be scored based on the information and spoils of war you obtain in the battlefield.”

“The final score will be linked to your ranking in this professional competition!”

“Do you understand?!”

The contestants below were still confused, and a light already appeared on their bodies.

This meant they were going to be sent directly!
