Star Observation Cliff had many more people compared to yesterday. It was a hustle and bustle.
The arena had long been destroyed to the point that it looked like a pile of rubble. The only thing that remained standing was the ten meter tall stone tablet.
In the center area of the Star Observation Platform, there were eight people: Pu Tianze, Ye Weini, Gongsun Zhe, Ling Wanquan, Wu Qi, Chou Ying, Yu Qin and Han Chen. As one of the top eight geniuses, the audience was filled with all sorts of cheers and exclamations.
There were also a few more people on the platform where the five residences were situated compared to yesterday.
Shangguan Yi, Luo Ye Hua and Ouyang Yi, who had already been eliminated, stood in their respective teams. Because Luo Ye Hua was heavily injured, his face looked extremely pale, and there was a thick bandage wrapped around his body.
Shangguan Yi stood together with Shangguan Mian, so the age of this aunt and niece was only a few years apart. The two of them were like a pair of beautiful sisters, attracting quite a bit of attention.
However, everyone in Dan Hao Mansion knew that the relationship between these two people seemed to not be on good terms recently. As for the reason behind it, it was naturally due to someone else.
The five Palace Masters were still seated in their comfortable, wide chairs. They were the supreme existences within the The City of Innocence, and towards the five of them, everyone was filled with respect and reverence.
The Senior Elder were still preparing for the competition, so the spectators below the stage could no longer hold back their excitement and anticipation.
"Senior Tianze, the champion must be you."
"Senior, we will always support you."
"Senior Gongsun, you've reached first place."
Hearing the cheering and clamoring from the audience, Pu Tianze couldn't help but to rub his chin and smile to Ye Weini beside him, and said: "Wei Ni, how about we make a bet?"
"Do I know you well?" Ye Weini said indifferently.
"Oh, yes, Senior WeiNi. Hur Hur."
"Betting on what?"
"Let's bet on the opponent we meet later. The one who defeats the opponent with the least number of moves and has the shortest amount of time, will be the one to win." Of course, if we were to meet later, that would be fine. "
Who used the least moves? Ye Weini raised her eyebrows, and revealed some interest, "So what if we win? So what if I lose? "
"Heh heh, I think you and I will meet in the end. Whoever loses in this gamble will choose to forfeit when we meet again. "What do you think?"
Hearing Pu Tianze say that, Gongsun Zhe who was at the side also looked over in surprise.
In Pu Tianze's opinion, if there were no surprises, then. He and Ye Weini would definitely meet, and rather than fighting till the end, it would be better to decide the victor in this round. The way to determine victory or defeat was to defeat their opponents with the least amount of moves and the shortest amount of time.
"What if the disparity in our strength is too great?" Ye Weini said.
"Then you can only blame your bad luck." Pu Tianze revealed a charming smile, and his gaze swept across Gongsun Zhe, Ling Wanquan and the rest, and especially stopped at Han Chen's body for a moment.
"How is it? What do you think of it, Sister Winnie? Do you dare to accept my suggestion? "
Ye Weini's expression did not change much, her red lips slightly parted as she replied evenly, "Why would I not dare? I agree. "
"Satisfying. Haha." That's exactly how I like it. "
The wager between the two immediately took effect. The spectators in the audience, who were closer to them, also heard it. Soon, the news spread and caused all sorts of discussions.
Han Chen heard the words of the two and he was secretly surprised in his heart. Although Pu Tianze looked gentle on the outside, there was a trace of ruthlessness deep in his bones. Once this kind of person exploded, he would become a very dangerous character.
Gongsun Zhe and Ling Wanquan were similarly coveting the champion's throne, so the bet between Pu Tianze and Pu Tianze caused their blood and bones to boil. Today's battle might bring about an unknown climax.
"I announce the start of the third round of the Heavenly Rankings."
Clan Elder Kun Yang continued to carry out the job of 'referee', causing everyone's heart to tremble, as their gazes uniformly swept towards the stone monument beneath the stage.
The Elder beside the stone monument placed both of his hands on the surface of the monument. The names of the eight people that had advanced quickly began to change. After a few blinks of an eye, the name suddenly stopped and everyone's hearts were caught in their throats.
Ye Weini, Chou Ying.
Two words clearly appeared on the stone monument and at that moment, everyone's breath came out like a wave. Pu Tianze lifted his eyelids, and laughed lightly: "Senior Wei Ni, this person is not easy to deal with! It depends on your performance. "
"Just take care of yourself." Ye Weini replied coldly.
"Today is the first battle, Ye Weini versus Chou Ying. The other contestants, please return to your seats."
Under the passionate cheers, the other six people on the stage all withdrew. When Han Chen brushed shoulders with Gongsun Zhe, the latter said in a voice filled with threat.
"Your life is really huge, you can even climb out of the stomach of a Heaven Swallowing Beast. Let me give you a word of advice. It's best if you don't meet me, or else I'll let you know what it means to fly high and fall painfully. "
"Heh." Han Chen sneered, there was not the slightest trace of fear on his face. "Anytime."
With that, Han Chen no longer bothered with the sinister gaze of the other party. He turned and walked down the arena, returning back to Qiao Feilin and Yan Wu's side. Gongsun Zhe snorted, suppressing the killing intent in his heart and returned to the spectators' seats.
On the stage, Ye Weini floated gracefully, looking extremely beautiful. That beautiful face that was as cold as ice seemed as though it would never melt, as though it had never revealed a smile. Her exquisite facial features revealed traces of demonic charm, and her temperament was indeed somewhat similar to Yan Wu's.
If Ye Weini was a block of ice, then Chou Ying was an unsheathed treasured sword. His entire body was releasing a cold Qi, the moment Mount Tai collapsed, it was not a mess, even against Ye Weini, who was ranked third on the Heavenly Rankings, Chou Ying still did not admit defeat.
"Not giving up?" Ye Weini raised her delicate eyebrows and said.
Chou Ying slightly raised her hand, "Please enlighten me, Senior Wei Ni."
"I made a bet with someone else."
"I know."
The hidden meaning of Ye Weini's words was to tell the other party that she would finish the battle in the shortest time possible, and that there would be no difference in priority in her attacks, as long as she lived or died, it had nothing to do with her.
On the stage, Kun Yang raised his arm, and shouted loudly, "First battle, begin!"
Swoosh!
Right after he finished speaking, Chou Ying instantly disappeared from where he stood, transforming into a black stream of light and flew into the sky. Chou Ying's palm moved, and a three feet long sword that emitted a bright light impressively appeared in his hand.
"Innate divine ability, clone!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosions continuously sounded out in the air, and after a flash of white light, three figures who looked exactly the same appeared beside Chou Ying. Whether it was the clothes or expressions on their faces, the four Chou Ying s looked exactly the same. Even the aura it exuded was not inferior in the slightest.
Swoosh! The four Chou Ying s spread out, like flowing light, they attacked Ye Weini who was below them. The speed was truly astonishing. This series of actions was done in the blink of an eye.
Everyone below the stage revealed looks of shock. For Chou Ying to be able to firmly occupy a seat on the Heavenly Rankings, she was indeed not just for show.
Four Chou Ying s attacked Ye Weini from four different directions. The latter coldly glared at him, her long and slender fingers intertwined as her smooth wrist moved, gently and elegantly pinching the air.
In the next moment, between Ye Weini's right index finger and thumb, a strange, demonic petal appeared. The petals changed colors, exactly the same as yesterday when Luo Ye Hua was heavily injured.
The hearts of the entire audience hung in their throats. The power of that flower petal was something that they had personally witnessed yesterday. But there were four Chou Ying s in front of him, which one would Ye Weini attack?
The auras of the four Chou Ying s were almost the same. It was likely that not many people present were able to determine which was the real body and which was the prosthetic one. Everyone was guessing.
The Senior Elder s and instructors of the Five Palace were all puzzled, because even they could not tell if it was real or fake.
Ye Weini moved, but surprisingly, she did not pay attention to the four Chou Ying s attacking from mid air, and did not even give them a second glance. She gently held the strange flower with her hand and flicked her finger. Swoosh! The petals flew out like a meteor, striking the ground a dozen meters in front of her.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The earth quaked and the mountains shook. Dust flew everywhere. The arena that had already been destroyed by yesterday's battle became even worse off. That demonic flower petal was like a meteorite as it struck the platform that was full of holes. Numerous cracks spread out, and an insane amount of power ripped apart a layer of dirt on the ground, and scraped off a thick layer of dirt.
Rocks were not the only ones flying around wantonly, there was also an extremely battered figure. Everyone's eyes were wide open, their faces filled with disbelief. Who else could it be other than Chou Ying?
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four violent sounds overlapped with each other, and the four Chou Ying s in the air exploded into fragments that filled the sky, like bits of paper that was being blown along with the wind, not even five meters away from Ye Weini.
"Heavens, four. All four are clones."
"What's going on?"
A big question mark appeared in everyone's minds. All of their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at the scene in front of them.
On the stage, Chou Ying lied on her side, using her arms to support herself as she struggled to get up. She clutched her chest and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"You?" Chou Ying was no longer able to maintain her calm as before, and shock and disbelief surfaced on her pale face. You, how exactly did you discover me? "
Ye Weini ignored the other party, and instead looked towards Pu Tianze who was standing below the stage. His red lips slightly opened, and spat out two ice-cold words. "One move."
One move, just one move. Ye Weini once again proved how strong she was.
Pu Tianze no longer had any hope of winning this bet.
