Chapter 1982: Free-for-All Battle!
"Next, I’ll announce the rules for this Great Dynasty Trial!"
Old Xun said in a loud voice:
"You all see these six Douwu Platforms, right? In a moment, you can freely choose any platform to stand on!"
"The first round is a melee. As long as you fall off the platform, you’re eliminated. Each Douwu Platform will leave three spots to enter the top eighteen!"
When Ji Ya heard this, she was stunned!
Starting off with a melee?!
Worthy of being the Great Dynasty Trial, really brutal!
Su Chen actually quite liked this format—clean and straightforward!
"Alright, now everyone choose your Douwu Platform!"
Old Xun said.
As soon as his voice fell, every participant shot out, each choosing a Douwu Platform!
Naturally, the strongest from higher-ranked forces like the Myriad Swords Sect, Tianhan Palace, Black Flame Sect, and so on each chose a different Douwu Platform!
This was pretty much the inevitable outcome!
The other participants all picked a platform based on where those top experts went!
"Ji Ya, later you should come to the same platform as me. I can make sure you get into the top eighteen!"
Su Chen said.
But Ji Ya shook her head:
"No need. I still want to rely on my own strength and see just how big the gap is between me and those people!"
Hearing this, Su Chen glanced at Ji Ya, then nodded:
"Alright then."
He respected Ji Ya’s choice. Honestly, even if she entered the top eighteen by relying on him, it wouldn’t mean much!
After that, the two of them split up and flew toward different Douwu Platforms!
Ji Ya chose Platform No. 5, while Su Chen chose Platform No. 6!
In fact, Ji Ya’s decision not to stand on the same Douwu Platform as Su Chen had another reason: she had guessed that the Duanhai Sect would definitely not let him go!
When that time came, if Su Chen tried his best to protect her into the top eighteen while also dealing with those people, the pressure on him would only be greater!
To be honest, facing the Duanhai Sect’s attacks, her strength was far too weak; she wouldn’t be able to help at all!
The gap was just way, way too big!
Though she’d inherited Senior Mu Qinglian’s legacy, the time had still been far too short!
All she could do now was not add even the smallest bit of trouble for Su Chen!
If Su Chen really met with misfortune, she swore that one day, she would bathe the entire Duanhai Sect in blood and avenge him!
Sure enough, once Su Chen flew toward Platform No. 6, two people from the Duanhai Sect went up as well!
The strength of these two had actually already reached Great Supreme Realm, Eighth Turn!
The grudge between Su Chen and the Duanhai Sect was basically common knowledge by now!
"Miss Ji, that brat doesn’t know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. He actually provoked the Duanhai Sect. Today he’s dead for sure!"
After Ji Ya stepped onto Platform No. 5, that Gu Shuo who’d tried to chat her up earlier also went up!
"Miss Ji, how about after the Great Dynasty Trial you come back to the Juyun Sect with me?"
Gu Shuo said proudly:
"Our Juyun Sect is also one of the great sects of the Ancient Dynasty, you know!"
"Get lost!"
Ji Ya was busy worrying about Su Chen, and this guy kept chattering nonstop, which irritated her to no end!
Ji Ya’s bluntness made Gu Shuo very unhappy!
Hmph, just wait and see how that brat dies right in front of your eyes!
Right now he really wanted to see this bitch utterly devastated!
...
Of course Su Chen had noticed the two Duanhai Sect disciples who followed right behind him onto the Douwu Platform!
However, he didn’t care!
After a while, all participants had already gone up onto the Douwu Platforms. Each platform had around twenty to thirty people, and almost none were below the Great Supreme Realm!
Moreover, each Douwu Platform had one or two Great Supreme Realm, Nine Turns experts!
Those people were without a doubt the seed candidates!
Among the geniuses from the various sects, there were almost none who’d really broken through to Great Supreme Realm, Nine Turns!
After all, it was just too hard, far too hard!
Of course, once you reached the level of the Great Supreme Realm, even within the same Minor Realm, there could still be huge differences in strength!
"I declare this session of the Great Dynasty Trial officially begins!"
The next moment, Old Xun loudly announced!
As soon as his voice fell, True Yuan surged, and blades and sword-light filled the air!
Aside from those one or two Great Supreme Realm, Nine Turns experts, everyone else had already started fighting!
They all knew that those seed candidates were guaranteed to enter the top eighteen; the spots they were fighting over were the remaining one or two!
But even among these remaining people, the gaps in strength were huge!
In just a few moments, people were already falling off the platforms one after another!
Of course, those who fell from the Douwu Platforms first were mostly below Great Supreme Realm, Third Turn!
Those people might be pretty good back in their own sects, but placed in this Great Dynasty Trial where geniuses gathered, they were the bottom rung!
As for the one or two Great Supreme Realm, Nine Turns on each Douwu Platform, they were all standing there leisurely like they were out for a stroll, and some had even sat down to cultivate!
It was as if the battles happening around them had nothing to do with them!
The situation on Platform No. 6, where Su Chen stood, was pretty much the same. On the surface, aside from the Myriad Swords Sect’s Yan Feiyu at Great Supreme Realm, Nine Turns, the cultivation of the two Great Supreme Realm, Eighth Turns from the Duanhai Sect was the highest on this platform!
In their eyes, the three spots on this Douwu Platform would definitely be taken by Yan Feiyu and the two of them!
By rights, they didn’t really need to fight too hard, but they’d come up with a mission—to seriously injure that young man who had caused the Duanhai Sect to lose so much face!
The reason they were only going for serious injury and not death wasn’t because they were stupid; it was because killing was forbidden in the Great Dynasty Trial. After all, these were the treasured geniuses of every force!
All they needed was to injure him badly and recover some face for the Duanhai Sect. In any case, this brat was destined to die in this Ancient Capital!
As soon as Old Xun’s voice fell, the two from the Duanhai Sect had already locked onto Su Chen!
But what they hadn’t expected—and what left them endlessly depressed—was that this guy was just like a loach, way too slippery!
Forget seriously injuring him, they hadn’t even touched the hem of his clothes!
Every time they were about to reach him, this guy would slip into the crowd!
Because of that, they instead "accidentally" hit a few other people and knocked them off the platform!
This left them so stifled they were about to explode!
Since the strongest seed candidates hadn’t joined the battle, the situation on Su Chen’s side naturally drew most of the attention!
They’d originally thought that sending two Great Supreme Realm, Eighth Turns from the Duanhai Sect to deal with that young man would be a piece of cake!
Even though that young man had easily slain He Wendo—a Core Disciple at Great Supreme Realm, Sixth Turn—a few days ago, once you reached the Great Supreme Realm, every Turn was like a whole different world!
Just because he could kill a Great Supreme Realm, Sixth Turn didn’t mean he could kill a Great Supreme Realm, Seventh Turn!
Let alone Great Supreme Realm, Eighth Turn!
And there were two of them!
It had to be said, the Duanhai Sect really did take this seriously!
Their hatred toward this young man was obvious!
But none of them had expected that this young man, facing two Great Supreme Realm, Eighth Turns, would be handling it with ease, instead playing those two from the Duanhai Sect like fools!
