241: First place in the singles competition

Accompanied by two miserable screams, those two Disciples were sent flying in a posture that was hardly human.

The referee made no move; it was clear he had completely given up. Facing these two powerful Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples, there was nothing he could do, no matter how hard he tried!

Since their opponents were doomed to die, the referee simply gave up. Even Great Emperor experts could not stop these two from attacking; what could a mere ordinary Quasi-Emperor Expert do?

Those Great Emperor experts, seeing that they had lost Face and had no way to regain their standing, simply chose to give up and stopped interfering in this mess.

The two individuals' Magic Treasures fell to the ground simultaneously. The Haotian Mirror instantly shattered into fragments. After exhausting the last bit of essence, this Magic Treasure, which could barely be called Heaven Rank, turned into a pile of scrap.

The other Disciple also met a miserable death; Zhang Hai, having assumed the Incarnation of a Vicious Beast, tore the opponent apart.

Everyone present had a drastic change in expression, because they had clearly heard two crisp sounds just a moment ago.

Both of these individuals had heaven-rank red magic artifacts protecting them!

And the guy who had gone onto the stage earlier was the same. Could it be that they possessed three heaven-rank red magic artifacts?

Everyone present wore an ashen expression, knowing full well that it was absolutely impossible to pose any threat to the Heavenly Profound Sect in the individual competition.

They even suspected that all four of them were like this, likely possessing immense treasures.

Among them, two guys who had clearly drunk fake wine and were not thinking straight actually planned to target Crimson, the weakest in the entire team.

Although Crimson was fighting on behalf of the Heavenly Profound Sect, she was the real daughter of Crimson Gold, the Sect Master of the Chiyuan Sect. Targeting her—wasn't that just courting death?

By then, not only would they fail to target the Heavenly Profound Sect, but they would also invite trouble upon themselves. If they attracted the full strength of the Chiyuan Sect, these Sects would really be in for a rough time.

Originally, the Heavenly Profound Sect, the Chiyuan Sect, and the Snow Domain Gate looked like grasshoppers on the same rope. Now that the other two major Sects had not shown a clear stance, if they dared to initiate trouble, they would likely Face a siege from the three top powers.

This was something no one was willing to bear. The Elder who had proposed attacking Crimson was naturally beaten up and thrown out.

They did not discuss Xue You too much, because every time they discussed various methods to harm Xue You, an indescribable force would descend upon them.

This force was extremely terrifying; it carried no intimidation and had no apparent power, yet even a Quasi-Emperor Expert would suffer when facing it.

For instance, a Quasi-Emperor Expert who had previously wanted to kill Xue You inexplicably fell headfirst into a manure pit while taking a dump. For some unknown reason, his Meridians suddenly malfunctioned, making it difficult for him to circulate his Qi for a time. His spiritual power could not be channeled, just like an ordinary person, and he struggled in the manure pit for a long time.

At the same time, other Powerhouses at the same negotiation table also suffered; they were either inexplicably bitten by a dog or bumped headfirst into a big shot.

In short, they all paid a heavy price and could be said to be extremely unlucky.

After summarizing several times, everyone reached the conclusion that Xue You's strength was simply too formidable and absolutely not to be trifled with. Although her combat power was average, she possessed a mysterious and profound force.

Every time they discussed any topic related to harming her, they would suffer severe backlash.

They even suspected whether she could manipulate things like fate; otherwise, why would everyone fall into such misfortune every single time?

Moreover, her opponents were the same; they would either inexplicably fall off the Arena or inexplicably injure themselves with their own weapons, unable to continue fighting.

Such means were simply unheard of, and could even be said to be extremely Heaven-Defying!

In the end, everyone chose to give up on the individual competition. They would just try to achieve their best results, and from then on, they would choose to surrender when facing Disciples from the Heavenly Profound Sect.

If they could gain an absolute advantage in the team competition, they could still receive rewards.

By then, if the Heavenly Profound Sect did not have enough points, they would ultimately be left behind.

In the end, whenever people from the major powers encountered Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples, they would directly choose to surrender. They won all their semi-final battles without a single loss.

The six of them did not fight another battle; for five whole days, they walked all the way to the final.

Other major powers basically also had some people squeeze into the final. The so-called final was the competition among the last one hundred Powerhouses remaining.

Each of the Ten Great Powers basically had five people safely among them, and the Snow Domain Gate even had six.

Every Grand Competition basically had this standard configuration; the number of Disciples from other major powers entering the final was very small.

Li Haotian's six Disciples fighting all the way from the semi-finals to the final was already shocking enough.

From now on, every battle would be worth 50 points. Winning one match was equivalent to winning 50 matches. The final would eventually determine the top 16, who would enter the grand final. A single battle for these 16 people would be worth 100 points; that was the truly massive amount of points.

Li Haotian sat very calmly in his spectator seat, watching battle after battle.

After some time passed, except for Crimson, the other 5 people all entered the top 16 of the grand final. A full 1/3 were Powerhouses from the Heavenly Profound Sect.

This ratio made everyone present unable to help but click their tongues in wonder.

During the battles, Du Xian continuously gained insights from facing various Powerhouses and various means, and ultimately grasped that final bit of Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Heaven Monarch Realm.

With a full 5 people advancing, everyone had a huge change in perspective regarding the Heavenly Profound Sect, which had once been destroyed and whose current strength was doubted. Many people once again returned to their previous respectful attitude.

As for those who thought their own forces could enter the Ten Great Powers, they were furious. They had even started to consider themselves Disciples of the Ten Great Powers, but reality dealt them a heavy blow.

The Heavenly Profound Sect Powerhouses were simply too terrifying. Whenever these people encountered them, they would either surrender or kick the bucket. No one was willing to risk their own life to fight against them. Knowing it was a certain death trap, why court death?

Even Great Emperor experts had no way to protect their lives. If there were a glimmer of hope, perhaps someone would still give it a try, but no one dared to try anymore.

Except for Xue You, who had not killed anyone, the other four were full of Killing Intent and directly defeated a large number of opponents with a formidable attitude.

Only one person from the Snow Domain Gate entered the grand final, and that was Ling Yiyi.

After spending a few more days to determine the winners and losers, the Sect rankings for the individual competition were immediately released.

The Heavenly Profound Sect ranked first with an extremely high score; the combined scores of the second-place Divine Mirror Sect and the Snow Domain Gate did not even reach the score of the Heavenly Profound Sect.
