C33 The Battle to Reach the Top
As more and more people reached the top, it was inevitable that there would be some friction when they reached the top. As long as the others were shot down from the way to the top, they would be the first to reach the top. Everyone had such an idea. They fought to the death and used all their strength here.
Guu Han held Bai Keer's hand and stepped on the Eight Desolate Smoking Step, quickly avoiding those people who were fighting to the death.
To be honest, although Guu Han's current cultivation base was not as high as Bai Keer's, if Guu Han stepped on the Eight Desolate Smoking Step. . . His speed was slightly faster than Bai Keer's, so it was Guu Han who held Bai Keer's hand and ran.
Behind them, Loong Moyang also had a movement Spirit Spell, and his speed was not slower than Guu Han's. However, because his starting speed was slower, he kept following behind Guu Han.
Loong Moyang had attacked Guu Han a few times, but Guu Han had managed to dodge every single one of his attacks. It was unknown whether Guu Han had guessed it beforehand or if he was lucky enough to dodge it. This made Loong Moyang so angry that his teeth itched. But there was nothing he could do about it. If this continued, it would only be a waste of time, so Loong Moyang had no intention of continuing like this. He exerted his strength and chased after Guu Han.
Guu Han sped up his movement technique. After a while, Guu Han was the first one to reach the top of Fallen Sun Peak.
The top of Luo Yang Peak was a huge platform, and in the east, there were three stone doors. Above the stone doors. There was a mark on it. It was the mark put in by the identity token. It seemed like the three of them were right. That should be the place where the top three would receive their rewards.
This platform was at least a few dozen zhang wide, and it was round in shape. However, there were some strange patterns on the surface of the platform, which were quite shocking. The entire peak of Fallen Sun gave people a feeling. It was domineering and imposing!
"Is this the peak of the peak of the Fallen Sun?!" Guu Han murmured as he looked at this place.
Bai Keer who was at the side also cried out in shock. "Wah! This place is really big!"
As expected, the second person to reach the top was Loong Moyang from the Loong family. The third person was a woman with an outstanding appearance. However, she gave off an icy feeling that she was like a lotus blooming in the world, and no one was allowed to enter. However, to be able to reach the top of the third place among the crowd, that woman's cultivation base must not be ordinary.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the group continued to climb to the top. Among them, the three brothers who told Guu Han about the benefits of reaching the top were also among them.
At this moment, an old man in white came out of nowhere. He looked to be in his 70s or 80s. His long beard was floating in front of his chest, and his white hair was hanging at his waist. He looked like a transcendent being.
The old man looked at the people who had climbed to the top and said with a smile, "At this point, the top of the mountain has come to an end. There are a total of 216 people participating in the hunt. Among them, there are a total of 53 participants from the Three Star City. They are all from the outer city, and not from the Three Star City. Those who have reached the top of the mountain will be rewarded with 20 Beast Cores each, and those who have reached the middle level of the spirit grade will be rewarded with one roll of Spirit Spells before retreating to the side. "
After a pause, the old man continued, "For those who are participating in the competition in the Three Star City and have reached the top, they will remain where they are. Later, they will use the method of drawing lots to choose the winner of this year's competition from the Hunting Competition. "
Although the old man's words were amiable, it was filled with an indisputable tone. The Qi exuded from this old man told Guu Han that this man was at least an Earth Sun Stage Peak expert, or perhaps even stronger.
As expected, after the old man finished speaking, a group of people walked into the area that the old man had pointed out. Among them was Bai Keer, and after a group of people left, the number of people shrank by more than half.
"Alright. Now, there are only seven people left in the arena. All of them are the participants of the major families in Three Star City. Take out your family's identity tokens and draw lots. After that, we will begin the battle of the champion!"
The old man looked at the crowd and said with a smile.
Guu Han and the others took out their identity tokens and walked to the stone wall in front of them. Under the old man's reminder, Guu Han and the others knew that they had placed their identity tokens on the stone wall. A bright light flashed on the stone wall. A jade token appeared in Guu Han's hand. After Guu Han left. . . He looked at the jade token in his hand. There was a number carved on it. Five!
After that, everyone placed their family identity tokens on the stone wall like Guu Han. Each of them received a small jade plate with a number on it.
At this moment, the number of identity tokens and Beast Cores among the seven people present were respectively:
Guu Han, twelve identity tokens, thirty-four Beast Cores.
Loong Moyang, ten identity tokens, forty-one Beast Cores.
Lee Binger had 10 identity tokens and 38 Beast Cores.
Sun Qi had three identity tokens and fifteen Beast Cores.
Zhao Tianhe had three identity tokens and thirteen Beast Cores.
Tong Zhan had three identity tokens and eighteen Beast Cores.
He Xingshuo had three identity tokens and twenty-six Beast Cores.
After that, the old man said, "The number of people this year has shrunk by a large portion compared to the previous years. Looks like there are some powerful individuals among you little fellows. Since that was the case, then the competition would naturally be much simpler. Right now, the seven of you only need to take turns fighting to determine the top three. After that, the three of you will fight to determine who will be the first. Alright now, I will announce the winner of this year's Hunting Competition Championship. Begin!"
This battle started with the two thin youths, Sun Qi and Zhao Tianhe, whom Guu Han had met earlier.
The two of them looked at each other, then smiled bitterly and walked forward. After that, the two of them started fighting. In fact, their cultivation levels were quite similar, so it was difficult to determine who would win or lose in a short period of time. Finally, Sun Qi couldn't hold on any longer, and Zhao Tianhe took advantage of the gap in her strength. She was defeated by Zhao Tianhe with a single strike.
"This battle, Zhao Tianhe wins!"
"Brother Sun, thank you for letting me win. "
Zhao Tianhe cupped his fists at Sun Qi and said, then both of them left the stage.
The second match was between Lee Binger and Tong Zhan, who had the tanned skin of the three brothers. Tong Zhan was the strongest amongst the three of them. He had reached the Early Second Grade Spirit Sun Stage, but under Lee Binger's hands, he was defeated miserably in just over ten rounds.
What Lee Binger cultivated was an ice type Spirit Spell. Her movement technique was agile, and her attacks were swift and fierce, causing others to be unable to find a pattern to speak of. Tong Zhan was also an impatient person. As the saying went, one wrong step was not good, so he let Lee Binger defeat him.
"In this battle, Lee Binger wins!"
The following dramatic scene was Guu Han meeting Zhao Tianhe. This made Zhao Tian laugh bitterly without end.
Thinking back, the three of them were not a match for Guu Han. Now, it was even more impossible for him to win alone. Therefore, Zhao Tianhe cupped his hands together and admitted defeat before he even went on stage. Therefore, Guu Han won the match without even attacking.
"This battle, Guu Han wins!"
The old man didn't stop because of this dramatic scene. He continued to announce the result.
In the third match, Loong Moyang faced He Xingshuo from the He family.
These two had been fighting for a long time. Guu Han didn't think that He Xingshuo would be so difficult to deal with. He was actually fighting with Loong Moyang to this extent. Although he was always at a disadvantage, with his powerful defensive abilities, Loong Moyang couldn't do anything to him in a short period of time.
In the end, Loong Moyang lost his patience. He used a high spirit grade Spirit Spell to send He Xingshuo flying away, and only then did he obtain victory. However, he did return with a gloomy face. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the result of the competition.
"This battle, Loong Moyang wins!"
"Next, the top three will determine the winner of this year's hunt!"
The old man said, "The finals will be held in two hours!"
