The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Wanting to Cry but Without Tears

Even if Jing Yan doesn’t join the Qingmu Department, Gong Luo is still happy about Jing Yan defeating Chi Mao.

Chi Mao’s talent is very high, you have to admit that. Moreover, Chi Mao had decided to join the Truth Department. Now that Jing Yan defeated him in the third round, directly eliminating him, it’s equivalent to reducing a good achievement from the Truth Department.

”Well done!” Gong Luo couldn’t help but cheer for Jing Yan.

Li Yue was completely confused.

He had painstakingly persuaded Chi Mao to join the Truth Department, and now? Now Chi Mao was eliminated and couldn’t even become an ordinary member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, let alone join the Truth Department? It means at least waiting for a hundred years until the next selection test. By then, who knows where Chi Mao will be? He might have already joined other great Divine Skills.

Li Yue indeed felt quite miserable.

Just now, he triumphantly showed off to other chiefs, saying Chi Mao had agreed to join the Truth Department, and now Chi Mao had been knocked out.

What has he become?

Li Yue’s eyes shifted, glancing at the other chiefs, and indeed, many had smiles in their eyes.

His old face!

”This is absolutely impossible! Chi Mao is close to the cultivation of a Three-star Void God, while Jing Yan is merely a native who has just ascended; how could he possibly defeat Chi Mao? There must be something fishy here.” After a while, Li Yue shook off his confusion and spoke confidently.

No one responded to Li Yue.

Li Yue fiercely eyed Jing Yan.

The selection test was underway, and Li Yue didn’t dare to affect the process presided over by the Supreme Elder. His internal frustration had to endure.

”This Jing Yan seems quite remarkable indeed. Director Gong Luo, you have a keen eye—ahead of the selection test, you personally went to contact Jing Yan. Director Gong Luo, did you know beforehand about Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Realm?” The chief of the Hundred Refinement Department asked Gong Luo.

”I really don’t know the Martial Arts Cultivation of Jing Yan, but I do know Jing Yan’s talent is indeed very high. Now it seems his Martial Arts Cultivation is not low either, probably a two-star Void God, maybe approaching a three-star Void God.” Gong Luo responded.

Gong Luo indeed did not know Jing Yan’s realm.

The elder at the registration place, Bao Tong, equally did not know Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Realm.

”Humph, Two-star Void God? What a joke!”

”A native from a Low-class World, at most can reach One-star Void God. Even if a Low-class World can birth a Two-star Void God, how can they ascend the God Realm through the Void Channel?” Li Yue laughed coldly.

”It’s ridiculous. Can’t Jing Yan be a One-star Void God before ascension and then promote to a Two-star Void God by absorbing Chaos Qi in the God Realm?” Gong Luo sneered.

”The situation Director Gong Luo mentioned is indeed very possible. Many natives just ascended from a Low-class World, upon entering the God Realm and absorbing the Chaos Qi, can directly break through the realm shackles. Some martial artists at the Half-step Void God level can reach One-star Void God after coming to the God Realm, which is quite common.” The chief of the Hundred Refinement Department nodded and continued, ”If Jing Yan was already a One-star Void God in the Low-class World, then after reaching the God Realm and absorbing Chaos Qi, entering a Two-star Void God is possible, as long as his talent is sufficient.”

Many department chiefs nodded slightly at this moment.

Their eyes on Jing Yan turned fervent again. Jing Yan had defeated Chi Mao, who was a genius on the Celestial Blossom list, which means Jing Yan might also have enough ability to enter the Celestial Blossom list.

...

The third round battle took almost an hour.

As the rounds increased, the duration lengthened because many martial artists of the same realm fought each other later, and it’s difficult for two martial artists with similar strength to determine one’s defeat quickly, so it consumes more time.

On many arenas, at this time, only twelve thousand eight hundred martial artists remained.

This time, Yong Ming did not immediately use Divine Power to group these twelve thousand eight hundred martial artists.

”First, I want to congratulate you twelve thousand eight hundred people for passing the previous three rounds of eliminations. Next, you will enter the fourth round of elimination.”

”In the fourth-round battle, even if you are defeated, you won’t be directly transported away. The losers still have a chance to join the Luo Jiu Divine Palace,” Yong Ming announced.

After saying these two sentences, Yong Ming then wielded Divine Power to regroup the twelve thousand eight hundred martial artists for the fourth time.

Before Jing Yan, the scene flashed, and he appeared on a new arena, seeing his fourth opponent.

Seeing this person, Jing Yan couldn’t help but smile lightly; this time, he met an acquaintance!

The fourth opponent was indeed the Three-star Void God, Chai Yang, who had previously been tricked by the Blind Mountain Five Tigers.

After continuously defeating three opponents, Chai Yang felt somewhat unsatisfied.

The opponents he encountered were too weak; the strongest was only at the One-star Void God level. Chai Yang himself is at the Three-star Void God realm, easily defeating a One-star Void God without even using his Holy Artifact.

He was stripped bare by Jing Yan, although he got some resources from the Blind Mountain Five Tigers, enough Holy Artifacts on them cannot compare to the ones he had used for a long time, both in terms of familiarity and power.

Three-star Void God is still Three-star Void God, a genuine Celestial Blossom list genius martial artist.

After fighting consecutively three times, he felt very unsatisfied.

After being stripped bare by Jing Yan once, Chai Yang had always felt aggrieved, hoping to find a similar-level opponent for an exhilarating battle.

Finally, the fourth round began.

”I hope this round’s opponent is stronger; at least give me a Second Star Void God level,” Chai Yang thought before being transported to the new arena.

”Come on! Let this battle be more fulfilling.” As he sensed the enveloping Divine Power, Chai Yang let out a low roar full of valiant spirit.

”This...” When he arrived at the new arena and saw the person standing on the opposite side, his pupils suddenly shrank.

”Jing... Jing Yan?” Chai Yang also knew Jing Yan’s name.

When he first met Jing Yan, Jing Yan had already told him his name.

”Damn!” In Chai Yang’s heart, there was an absolute chaos.

He knew he was about to face a disaster.

Jing Yan’s strength was too formidable; he remembered clearly that when he fought against Jing Yan that day, he couldn’t even block a slap. He suspected that Jing Yan was at least a Four-star Void God or even beyond.

Seeing Jing Yan’s smiling eyes fixed on him, Chai Yang felt an urge to cry without tears.

”Hahaha...”

”This round, let’s see how you handle it!” Li Yue was delighted, observing that Jing Yan’s fourth-round opponent was Chai Yang, and immediately laughed.

Chi Mao was only a second-star Void God, largely due to his youth, barely making it into the Celestial Blossom list. But Chai Yang, being a Three-star Void God, entered the Celestial Blossom list entirely due to his own cultivation. Even if Jing Yan really became a Two-star Void God after ascending the God Realm as that old fellow Gong Luo said, in front of Chai Yang, wouldn’t he still be at Chai Yang’s mercy?
