"Buzz!"
Long Chen was teleported onto the arena. From both the inner and outer courts, countless cheers erupted from the viewing platform. Long Chen was extremely popular, and seeing him take the stage, they were filled with anticipation.
Opposite Long Chen appeared a man in white. He looked at Long Chen with a bitter smile appearing on his face.
"Enough, enough, Brother Long is one of the people I admire most. I admit defeat in this match." The man sighed and admitted defeat immediately.
The reason he came up was to greet Long Chen, or perhaps he had the intention to fight, but after seeing Long Chen, he changed his mind.
Long Chen cupped his fists to the man to express his gratitude. That person was also a strong figure. If he went all out, Long Chen would have to put in some effort and even risk exposing his trump cards, so he still had to accept a favor from the man.
Long Chen advanced easily, and the strong warriors present were somewhat disappointed. But there was no choice—after his battle with Chu Gan, the terrifying power Long Chen displayed had already intimidated countless people.
If you keep forcing Long Chen to reveal his trump cards, you'll risk being killed. Ranking matters, but life is even more important. Everyone knows their limits, so there's no need to take unnecessary risks. After all, this isn't a top 100 match, so there's no need to risk everything.
The opening victory did not materialize; Long Chen won silently. The second match soon began, and it was much more intense. The two first-generation powerhouses, both strength-type, unleashed their full power from the start, strange phenomena roared, and every move was a deadly technique, fighting fiercely and almost desperately.
The two exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant, and finally one was defeated and admitted defeat, but Long Chen and the others shook their heads slightly.
In this duel, they used almost all their ultimate moves, and the winner even burned their blood essence to claim victory.
The next match will probably not be restored. Although he wasn't eliminated this time, there was no hope for the next one. Fighting so hard was far too much of a loss.
Soon, the third match arrived. To Long Chen's surprise, the third match was actually Gui Yun, but Gui Yun didn't even appear, and his opponent immediately conceded defeat.
"I've looked around, that fat guy Gui Yun and that big guy Ku Wuya didn't seem to have made a move along the way.
Anyone who matched with them would immediately admit defeat. Unexpectedly, in the top 256 qualifying round, no one dared to challenge them. Lu Mingxuan said in a low voice.
"That exaggerated? This is like they're lying down to win the championship. Bai Xiaole couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Actually, it's nothing much. Anyone attending the conference must have been warned by their elders to be careful of these two, and admit defeat if they encounter them.
They lay down all the way here, but soon couldn't get back down. In the end, they were all absolute strongmen, and in the end, they had to rely on real skill. Long Chen said.
The competition continued. According to the rules, the time for the strong players to participate could not exceed the time it takes to burn an incense stick, or both would be eliminated.
Time is very short, so true strong players decide the outcome within a few moves. If they can't determine, some people feel their chances of winning are too low, or that winning means paying a huge price, so they simply admit defeat.
So, the pace of the match was extremely fast. In less than half an hour, more than a dozen battles had passed. However, the next fight caused an uproar among the crowd in the arena.
It turned out there was a shameless guy whose combat power was clearly lower than the opponent's, but because he was an earth-element powerhouse, he was very restrained and dragged that person down to deliberately waste time.
Halfway through the fight, he even asked the other party for benefits, saying that if he gave them, he would admit defeat, or else they would be eliminated together.
In the end, the man had no choice but to give him thirty million immortal crystals and two top-grade spiritual artifacts. Satisfied, he finally admitted defeat. The crowd was in an uproar—was this really okay?
"As expected, when the forest is big, all kinds of birds can be found. A dignified first-generation powerhouse—have you even lost your pride?" Luo Ning couldn't help but shake her head. Today was truly eye-opening.
Most importantly, both of them were shameless—one selling, one buying, and doing it in front of everyone—truly unmatched.
However, at the Jiuzhou Conference, there was no rule forbidding trade, which was a loophole for the two of them to exploit. Although people looked down on them, they couldn't do anything to them.
"Look, it's Young Master Wuji."
Suddenly, Lu Mingxuan spoke. Everyone looked toward the arena and, sure enough, saw Young Master Wuji standing on the platform.
"That bastard actually managed to make it here." Luo Bing and the others all disliked this person terribly, never expecting him to also make it into the top 512.
Opposite Young Master Wuji stood a tall, slender woman carrying a long sword on her back. As soon as she appeared, Young Master Wuji let out a sinister laugh, his eyes shining.
"Young lady, you're no match for me. Why not give up? Let's unite and rest together, roam the fairyland of desire, and enjoy ourselves like immortals." Young Master Wuji chuckled, his eyes filled with lecherous intent.
"Die!"
The woman was furious, a strange phenomenon swirling behind her. In an instant, she activated the first-generation bloodline, slashing down her long sword, and the void twisted in large areas.
"Pfft!"
The woman's strike was lightning-fast, shocking everyone. Young Master Wuji couldn't dodge in time and was split in two by a single sword strike, leaving everyone stunned.
"Puppet Technique,"
Long Chen curled his lips. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bing and the others realized that the young master Wuji whom the woman had slain with a single sword was actually a puppet.
The moment the puppet shattered, a strange fragrance filled the air. The woman's expression changed and she quickly retreated. As soon as she moved, she was shocked to find her body stiffen. At that moment, a large hand grabbed her neck from behind.
"Young lady, you're still too inexperienced. It's so easy to fall for it, and you're not going to beg me for mercy?" As long as you agree to be my maid, I will cherish you well... Hahaha... Young Master Wuji was shrouded in mist, as if hidden in the void. One hand gripped the woman's neck, runes swirling, sealing her entire body.
The runes coiled around the woman like venomous snakes, binding her tightly. Young Master Wuji was extremely sinister, the runes constantly squeezing her body, exposing her curves—a clear form of humiliation.
The woman tried to struggle, but her gaze began to blur. The puppet she had slain was poisoned, and she had been betrayed, unable to turn the tide. In a moment of shock and anxiety, she was furious.
"Struggle! I love watching you chaste and virtuous women struggle. The more you struggle, the more excited I get..." Young Master Wuji said with a lecherous grin, and he even sniffed the woman's cheek hard, looking utterly intoxicated.
"Bastard"
"Shameless"
"This damn ..."
Seeing Young Master Wuji so lewd and openly humiliating a first-generation powerhouse, it instantly ignited the anger of countless people.
"Young lady, if you agree to rest with me, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, hehe..." Young Master Wuji completely ignored the scolding and scolding of those people, looking completely confident and fearless.
"Die...!"
The woman suddenly shouted angrily, a rune lighting up on her brow. Young Master Wuji's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly pushed the woman away.
"Boom"
The woman's body exploded in an instant, blood mist staining the void red—she actually self-destructed.
