"Long Chen..."
Bai Shishi and the others were also surprised. What was Long Chen trying to do? Was he going to challenge everyone?
Long Chen waved his hand at them, signaling them not to speak. He wasn't impulsive; on the contrary, he was clearer than anyone.
He also knew where his anger was coming from—that boundless killing intent came from the Eye of Purgatory.
He realized that lately, perhaps because he was studying the Three Flower Eyes, he kept activating the power of the Purgatory Eye, which made it even more active.
Anyway, he was becoming increasingly irritable, especially seeing the provocative looks and insulting gestures from those people. He recalled all the experiences from his childhood. He felt that if he didn't let the power of the Purgatory Eye unleash soon, he might go mad.
He knew he could no longer tolerate it. Enduring would only make the Eye of Purgatory more agitated, accelerating the generation of dark power. Swallowing his anger was a breeding ground for dark power.
Since that's the case, Long Chen made it clear: if you want my life, come ahead. What I need is a reason to kill you.
Long Chen's words instantly stirred up a huge wave. Countless people were shocked by Long Chen's arrogance, and many were enraged by him.
"Long Chen, you're just a disciple of a declining sect. You were acting arrogantly here, and you were tens of thousands of years earlier."
"Idiot, when the time comes, you won't even know how you'll die. What right do you have to be so arrogant?"
"Not to mention you—even if your Lingxiao Academy provoked public anger like this, it would be leveled to the ground. Are you making enemies for Lingxiao Academy?"
For a moment, shouts and curses erupted, but only a small portion of those were the ones who cursed. As they kept cursing, they started to feel something was wrong, because countless spectators looked at them with utter contempt.
Everyone here, except for those 512 people, had been eliminated. The rest were just here to watch the spectacle. Those eliminated had now become mere spectators; who was arrogant or arrogant didn't really matter.
At this moment, anyone who could jump out and curse Long Chen was a beneficiary of the Jiuzhou Conference. Their curse instantly exposed their sect.
Faced with countless strange and contemptuous looks, these people fell silent as they cursed. They were clearly telling everyone that they were the ones cheating at every Jiuzhou Meeting.
"Third Master, we support you. If we kill those shameless dogs, they deserve to die."
"That's right, we support you. As strong warriors, you should take on your responsibilities without hesitation—slaying gods when you meet gods, slaying demons when you meet them. On the path of cultivation, there's no need for a woman's compassion. A strong person should rule the world, and all beings will bow to you."
"Those idiots who insult Third Master, what right do you have to insult me? Can't stand Third Master's arrogance? Then why don't you go win the Dao Debate Tournament and make it to the top 512 too?
If you don't know how to be a loser, all you know is to shout and show off your presence. If it weren't for the tournament's rules protecting you, Third Master could have slapped you all to death. Those
people fell silent, while others began to fight back. After all, Long Chen had exposed the dark secrets of the Jiuzhou Conference, benefiting the vast majority and enjoying a fair and unscrupulous competition.
Moreover, Long Chen's indifferent attitude toward life and death, fighting when defiant, deeply influenced these young people. Now, someone took the lead, immediately attacking those people with their pen and blood, wishing they could drown them with spit.
Long Chen hadn't expected that his arrogant words would attract so many people to help him.
"Rumble rumble...
chaos erupted on the viewing platform. As countless people cursed, the drum began spinning, and the contestants were selected by drawing lots. For a moment, everyone stopped shouting and turned to look at the drum.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
roller stopped, and Long Chen and the others' nameplates lit up. The list of opponents was immediately revealed. Long Chen's opponent was a name he had never heard before, and when Bai Xiaole saw the name, his face turned miserable:
"Boss."
Everyone looked and saw that on Bai Xiaole's nameplate, Chu Ren's name appeared—Bai Xiaole actually matched Chu Ren.
Luo Qing listened to Long Chen's advice and admitted defeat immediately. Bai Xiaole saw it was him and couldn't help but feel pain.
"It's fine. When it's your turn, immediately activate the Three Flowers Gathering Crown and the Three Talents Combined Attack. You have an eighty percent chance you can kill him in one blow." Long Chen comforted her.
"Really?" Bai Xiaole was overjoyed.
Long Chen laughed and said, "You really lack confidence. You have no idea how terrifying Calico Pupils really are."
The Chu family's four strongest strengths were not their own strength, but the technique of combined force. But since the technique of combined force was, after all, cheating, they couldn't be too obvious.
So when they charge up, it definitely takes a process. You go up and unleash your full power, fighting head-on. Unlike other divine arts, the three-flower pupil has a short charging process and can instantly unleash its strongest power. Chu Ren definitely can't withstand it.
Even if the first move only hurts without killing, you already have control of the situation afterward, so there's no need to fear him. If you follow up with the second move, he's basically finished.
However, such an extreme burst will have a certain impact on your Three Flower Eyes. After defeating Chu Ren, you may not be able to activate the Three Flowers Eye again for a short time.
But don't worry, the battle for the top 512 requires three days. After three days, there's still one day of rest to recover. According
to the tournament's rules, the upcoming battles will not have only one arena, nor will multiple arenas be held simultaneously, but will be contested one after another.
The original purpose of the Jiuzhou Conference was to provide young disciples with a platform for communication. At this time, each match was meant to let spectators see more clearly and gain more combat experience and insights.
So, the next 256 battles will be held over three days, allowing everyone to watch without worrying about overlooking the other side while watching one side.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Bai Xiaole immediately felt confident, even giving Chu Ren a thumbs-up in the distance and quickly turning his thumb to gesture downward, full of provocation.
"Is Xiao Le okay? Are you sure? Seeing Bai Xiaole full of confidence, Bai Shishi showed a hint of worry and secretly asked Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi. This beautiful girl was still deeply concerned about her younger brother.
"Don't worry, the combined attack technique takes time. It works on others, but not on Xiao Le. Plus, I've calculated the backlash force—there's no problem." Long Chen said.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Bai Shishi finally felt at ease. Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi's nameplate and found that it also bore an unfamiliar name. He then looked at Young Master Changchuan and Luo Xue, both of whom were the same, not matching anyone who was an enemy.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, Long Chen's nameplate lit up rapidly. To his surprise, he was actually the first to advance to the top 256.
