Zhao Kuo!
This time, Hao Ren clearly saw Zhao Kuo withdrawing his fist and standing there magnificently in the Li Xia Arena.
After winning, Zhao Kuo looked around, and his gaze finally turned to Hao Ren who was three small arenas away.
The 24 arenas were one meter higher than the platform.
Therefore, the people who were in the arena could see the battles in the surrounding arenas.
At this moment, Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo had defeated their respective opponents and stood in the Jing Zhe Arena and Li Xia Arena, looking at each other across the space.
Dozens of meters away, Hao Ren could still feel the piercing and dominating energy in Zhao Kuo's eyes!
"Ren Yin 168 and Ren Yin 197!" the inspector of the Jing Zhe Arena declared.
After casting another glance at Zhao Kuo, Hao Ren jumped off the arena.
The cultivators around the arenas were densely packed together, and they couldn't see what was going on more than one arena away.
"Gongzi, you were awesome!"
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili immediately walked to Hao Ren, handing him water and a towel like two cheerleaders.
Seeing Hao Ren's victories, Zhao Yanzi's face flushed with joy, but she didn't want to admit it to him; instead, she snorted with a pout.
"You have won six battles consecutively," Xie Yujia smiled lightly and said.
"Everyone who is still in the game all won consecutively." Zhen Congming dampened their enthusiasm with his words.
His words didn't sound encouraging, but he spoke the truth. After all, this was only the initial selection process, and anyone who wanted to continue forward had to win seven or eight battles in a row.
Zhao Hongyu smiled at Hao Ren. "It's Hao Ren's first time participating in the exam, and he is doing a great job."
Then, she frowned slightly and glanced at the direction of the Dragon God Shrine.
Four hours had passed since the combat exams began, Zhao Guang had been in the Dragon God Shrine with the two elders for four hours as well.
Glancing at Zhao Hongyu, Hao Ren thought for a while and decided not to tell her about Zhao Kuo. From the look of things, Zhao Kuo would definitely win out of the Yi Mao cultivators.
Since Zhao Hongyu was worried about Zhao Guang, Hao Ren decided not to mention Zhao Kuo for the time being.
In the Jing Zhe Arena, a Dui-level cultivator was in a fierce battle with another Dui-level cultivator.
As the competitions went on, the cultivators with weaker cultivation strength were gradually eliminated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Zhen-level cultivators would be lucky to get to the second or the third rounds, but they couldn't win in the fourth or the fifth round. The cultivators who would be last standing in the arenas were going to be at least Dui-level cultivators. At Gen-level, Hao Ren was a rare exception at this point.
In the arena, the cultivator with the Ren Yin 168 identity token hanging on his waist suddenly lifted his wooden bowl, emitting a bright light.
The cultivator with an identity token of Ren Yin 197 condensed a thick layer of yellow armor around him, and the two big hammers in his hands released dazzling yellow lights.
With equal strength, they couldn't reserve their nature essence anymore and unleashed their true strengths.
Ren Yin 168 suddenly shot out a wooden awl which instantly pierced Ren Yin 179's armor and his shoulder before flying out through his back with a trace of blood.
Ren Yin 179 grunted and tried to fight back, but his right leg was pierced by the wooden awl which turned and flew back. With a banging noise, the burly cultivator, nearly two meters tall, sat down in the arena.
"Sorry!"
The Dui-level wooden-elemental dragon cultivator released a green light beam from the wooden bowl and sent the earth-elemental dragon cultivator with the Ren Yin 179 identity token flying out of the arena.
Several earth-elemental elders standing around the arena immediately rushed over to help this cultivator up.
This earth-elemental dragon cultivator pushed the elders off him and struggled up with great fortitude, and he looked defiant.
Obviously, this Ren Yin 197 was a new star in an earth-elemental dragon clan. Having been defeated, there was no use to be upset, and he had no choice but to return to the mountains and cultivate hard for next year's exam.
The inspector responsible for the Jing Zhe Arena stood up with a cold expression and yelled, "Ren Yin 168 and Ren Yin 246!"
He didn't even spare a glance at the earth-elemental dragon cultivator who failed. After all, such failures were countless during the Dragon God Shrine's exams each year.
What the Dragon God Shrine wanted was the top ten who could become official inspectors and 40 masters who were going to become assisting inspectors. The cultivators who failed in the early stages of were not the ones who the Dragon God Shrine were after, no matter how great their backgrounds were.
Standing in the arena, Ren Yin 168 asked for a 15-minute break to adjust. This wood-elemental dragon cultivator would fight Hao Ren whose number was Ren Yin 246 next. If he won, he would gain seven consecutive victories and become the champion of the Ren Yin group, earning the qualification to enter the next stage of the exams.
At the inspector's nod, Ren Yin 168 hurried out of the arena, and more than ten wood-elemental elders who were waiting around the arena immediately surrounded him. Some helped him smooth out his meridians while one fed him an elixir pill from a bottle. Some other elders glanced at Hao Ren and kept giving Ren Yin 168 tips and instructions.
In ancient times, if a scholar won first place in the imperial exam, he would bring great benefits to his family.
It was the same for the Dragon God Shrine's general exam. If a cultivator became an official Inspector, no one would dare to mess with the clan he was in. Especially to those middle-ranked dragon clans, the more inspectors they had, the more powerful they were.
"Ren Yin 168 and Ren Yin 246!" The break was over, and the inspector stood up again and yelled.
The wood-elemental dragon cultivator had replenished his nature essence and leaped into the arena.
Steadily, Hao Ren went onto the arena, and the silver dragon embroidery on his shoulder shined in the rising sunlight.
The wood-elemental dragon cultivator had observed Hao Ren's matches and found that he was good at boxing, but he had no dharma treasures or a high realm.
Despite that, Ren Yin 168 didn't dare to relax since he was afraid that Hao Ren had been hiding his true power. He also asked the elders from his clan to observe Hao Ren's companions.
The information he got was very confusing. Among Hao Ren's cheering group were two beautiful twins who looked very powerful but emitted no lights of dragons'; the mother and daughter were respectively at Xun-level and the Foundation Establishment Realm; another beauty looked like a mortal without any fluctuations of nature essence, but she had silver and golden light encircling her like some dharma treasures; a Li-level kid who looked very fierce; the last person was a hunch-backed old man who was at Xun-level, and his light showed that he came from a water-elemental dragon clan…
"After you!"
"After you!"
On the arena, the wood-elemental dragon cultivator and Hao Ren cupped hands at each other.
Hao Ren's strange support team and his identity as an assisting inspector confused this cultivator, and that was why he decided to suppress Hao Ren at the very beginning.
The wooden bowl in his hand shot a dazzling green light toward Hao Ren's heart!
Green Wood Scroll!
This wood-elemental dragon cultivator was only 28 years old, but he had reached top-tier Dui-level, just one step from Xun-level. He was a young star in the Qingcheng Mountain Dragon Palace and even one of the entire wood-elemental dragon tribe.
If he unleashed his full force, even the elders in his clan were not his match.
That was why he was sure that he could suppress Hao Ren's Gen-level power with one attack! If Hao Ren had been hiding his true power, he would force Hao Ren to show it.
"Be careful!"
Seeing the aggressiveness of the wood-elemental dragon cultivator, Zhao Yanzi shouted outside the arena. After all, the previous earth-elemental dragon cultivator got his shoulder and right leg pierced just a moment ago. Hao Ren reached out his hands, and he absorbed the green light coming his way with a wave!
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, absorb!
The power released by the wood-elemental dharma treasure that was powered by the Green Wood Scroll contained pure wood elements, and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll had the power of absorbing five elements!
Absorbing his opponent's attack looked risky, but Hao Ren had watched all the matches in the Jing Zhe Arena, and he remembered each of the six matches of this wood-elemental dragon cultivator.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
Hao Ren absorbed the wood-elemental nature essence because he was sure he could do it!
The wood-elemental nature essence entered Hao Ren's body through his palms before going to his feet. In one cycle, the energy was completely devoured.
A thin beam of white sword energy shot out from his little finger.
Metal-elemental sword energy! Metal conquered wood!
Almost at the same time, Hao Ren turned lightly and pushed his palm at Ren Yin 168!
The brown wooden awl suddenly shot out from the wood-elemental dragon cultivator's forehead!
Like a flash, Hao Ren grabbed the wooden awl while the hundun godly lightning in his palm broke the wooden awl into two pieces!
The white sword energy arrived at the wood-elemental dragon cultivator's side together with Hao Ren.
The wood-elemental dragon cultivator raised his hands to block Hao Ren's palm, but the sword energy hit him on the chest. As he felt numb all over his body and couldn't move, his shoulder was struck heavily by Hao Ren's palm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHao Ren's palm contained more white metal-elemental nature essence!
Feeling as if his whole body was disintegrated, the wood-elemental dragon cultivator took several steps back, not able to defend or attack. As he was forced back, he stepped into the air and fell from the arena!
Bang! He fell from the huge arena, and dust rose upon his fall.
The wood-elemental elders hurried over and helped the young cultivator with the identify token Ren Yin 168 up.
"Thank you!" Hao Ren stood on the edge of the arena and cupped his hands gracefully.
Standing on the ground, Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren in his fluttering robe with stars in her eyes.
"How come Hao Ren looks so dashing all of a sudden?" she thought.
Numb and sore all over, the wood-elemental dragon cultivator looked up at Hao Ren with rage and yelled with gritted teeth, "You cheated!"
Seeing people turning their eyes to him, he pointed at Zhao Yanzi and the others with ambiguous backgrounds and yelled, "They must have been assisting him with hidden weapons!"
"Hey! Careful with your words!" Zhao Yanzi jumped out and yelled, pointing her finger at the wood-elemental dragon cultivator.
"How could a Gen-level cultivator win six battles consecutively? It must have been you guys who have been assisting him in secret!" Looking at Zhao Yanzi and the people around her, the wood-elemental dragon cultivator stood up and yelled.
The inspector responsible for this arena ignored this argument and lifted his right hand. The identity token hanging at the waist of this wood-elemental dragon cultivator flew into the inspector's hand and turned black instantly.
It meant that the wood-elemental dragon cultivator was disqualified for the rest of the competition, and the inspector decided that Hao Ren won the match.
"I don't agree! They used hidden weapons! You must investigate them!" The wood-elemental dragon cultivator pointed at Zhao Yanzi and the others, yelling in a loud voice.
As a young master from the Qingcheng Mountain Dragon Palace, it was a big disgrace for him to be defeated by a Gen-level cultivator with two attacks.
"You are a lousy loser! Useless!" Zhao Yanzi got angrier and made a face at the wood-elemental dragon cultivator.
It instantly enraged the wood-elemental dragon cultivator. Standing up, he yelled at the elders by his side, "Elder Liu, Elder Ye, teach them a lesson!"
The Qingcheng Mountain Dragon Palace was a big force in the southeast area, and this wood-elemental dragon cultivator was the son of the dragon king there. Feeling cheated, he got angry at Zhao Yanzi's provocation and lost his temper.
"Ren Yin 246 from the East Ocean Dragon Palace is the winner!" Standing in the arena, the inspector declared.
"East Ocean Dragon Palace…" Although the inspector's voice was not loud, his words stunned all the cultivators around the Jing Zhe Arena.
"East Ocean Dragon Palace?"
The wood-elemental elders from the Qingcheng Mountain all looked at Zhao Yanzi and her group in astonishment, and the other forces nearby stared at Zhao Hongyu and the others in bafflement.
Each of the 24 arenas would get one final winner whose clan and origin would be declared at the end of the elimination matches.
"The East Ocean Dragon Palace also entered the Dragon God Shrine's general exams?"
The news instantly caused an upheaval around the Jing Zhe Arena!
The elders of the Qingcheng Mountain immediately dragged their young prince out of the area without a fuss.
After all, they couldn't afford to mess with the East Ocean Dragon Palace!
