CHAPTER 1931: CHAPTER 1934: ELITES: THE FINAL 17

Sun Leng Chan defeated Jun Moqing in one move.

Moreover, most people didn’t even see how she did it.

But Ling Xiao saw clearly that it was a silver needle directly piercing into Jun Moqing’s Baihui acupuncture point.

If Sun Leng Chan hadn’t held back, Jun Moqing would likely have perished in Lihen Sky.

"Thank you for sparing my life!"

Jun Moqing was stunned for a moment, accepting his defeat without complaint.

In the seventh battle, Joshua Long chose the eighth genius of Zhengyi Sect, but this time, the Zhengyi Sect opted for forfeit directly.

Having witnessed the terrifying prowess of Leng Mei and Joshua Long’s defeat of the tenth genius in the first round, his courage had long vanished.

After forfeiting, he flew down from the seats reserved for competing martial artists, returning to the audience seats.

Because he wanted to witness Ling Xiao and his friends being defeated, or even killed.

Otherwise, it would be hard to quell the anger in his heart.

The subsequent battles lacked any real suspense.

In the eighth battle, Zui Ling Long won easily.

In the ninth battle, Little Dot chose Dan Feng.

This battle was truly brutal.

Dan Feng was unwilling to compromise, and Ling Xiao didn’t persuade him, just gave him the Liuli Armor to at least ensure his life.

Finally, Dan Feng was knocked off the platform, gravely injured and defeated.

Although the rules didn’t explicitly state that being knocked off the platform meant defeat, this had long become an unwritten rule.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky."

Little Dot was also quite displeased; even though Dan Feng was inferior to him, it took him over a hundred moves to defeat him, and due to the Liuli Armor, he couldn’t kill him.

What annoyed him most was that Dan Feng managed to injure him, leaving a deep wound on his shoulder that exposed the bone.

It was truly an embarrassment.

"Sorry, I am not his match!"

Finishing this sentence, Dan Feng fainted, naturally speaking to Ling Xiao.

"You’ve already done very well."

Ling Xiao promptly took out a pill and fed it to Dan Feng, preparing to heal him with his energy.

"Brother Ling, let me handle this, you need to conserve your energy for the upcoming battles."

Liu Lian blocked him and said.

"Yeah, big brother, I’ll help too."

Like Liu Lian, Lan Xue had hardly expended any energy, and with their cultivation levels, they could easily heal Dan Feng.

"Thank you."

Ling Xiao didn’t refuse their goodwill.

Dan Feng’s injuries were quite severe, and even after taking his specially crafted Injury Healing Pill, a considerable amount of Yin-Yang Elemental Force was needed to activate it.

If he were to heal Dan Feng, the upcoming battles would be risky.

"You are dead!"

Ling Xiao stood up, giving Little Dot a cold glance; he was determined to kill this person!

"I’ve been waiting for you."

Little Dot sneered, also returning to heal his injuries; being wounded by Dan Feng was truly unexpected.

In the tenth battle, Young Master Sky Wolf; the eleventh, Silver Wolf Princess; the twelfth, Fairy of Qingqiu; the thirteenth, Green Hills Separation Fire; the fourteenth, Princess Consort; the fifteenth, Lei Tun all secured victory.

Notably, there was the battle between the Princess Consort and Jun Mochou.

Jun Mochou displayed exceptional combat skills, causing substantial discomfort for the Princess Consort.

However, after a hundred moves, Jun Mochou was ultimately defeated because her cultivation level was inferior to the Princess Consort.

She directly conceded.

In fact, reaching this stage already satisfied Jun Mochou, as even advancing to the next round, the chances of further progress were slim.

After all, among the seventeen remaining individuals, aside from the idle Red Moon, the others were not to be trifled with.

For the sixteenth battle, Lei Mang, one of the thirteen top-tier geniuses, had no choice but to face Mu Wan Shuang.

Mu Wan Shuang, one of the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, was rumored to have strength comparable to Sun Leng Chan, both only inferior to Tianai Ba Tu.

But Lei Mang seemed unfazed by Mu Wan Shuang.

In truth, Mu Wan Shuang hadn’t displayed any remarkable combat prowess from the beginning until now.

Before the battle, Ling Xiao suddenly sighed, "What a pity, I originally planned to kill this Lei Mang; now it seems there’s no opportunity."

"No way, could it be that Mu Wan Shuang is even stronger than Lei Mang?"

Sun Leng Chan asked with some surprise.

"Miss Sun, be cautious of Mu Wan Shuang; her cunning might not be inferior to Fan Ruohai, and her strength is even more unfathomable.

If you observe carefully, you’ll find she matches her opponent’s strength, seemingly hiding something in every battle."

Ling Xiao reminded her.

Sun Leng Chan was skeptical, thus she turned her gaze to the platform.

She and Mu Wan Shuang were old acquaintances, could it be that she didn’t understand Mu Wan Shuang as well as Ling Xiao did?

However, she was soon dumbfounded.

Mu Wan Shuang, in the two hundred and ninety-third move, seized the opportunity to take Lei Mang’s life with one move.

After that, she turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Ling Xiao, this is a generous gift from our young master to you."

With that, she walked off the platform.

This battle, though the last, almost served as the climax, with another of the thirteen top-tier geniuses being eliminated.

It was truly a shock.

What was even more unexpected was the Fan Family of the Tianhai Empire extending goodwill to Ling Xiao; what was going on?

"Thank you, Young Master Fan!"

Ling Xiao cupped his hands toward Fan Ruohai below the stage.

While this goodwill wasn’t out of genuine intention, merely driven by interest, shared interests could still make for strong allies.

With that, all sixteen battles concluded.

The Heavenly Dynasty Empire advanced three individuals—Ling Xiao, Leng Mei, Joshua Long!

The Tianhai Empire advanced five individuals—Tianai Ba Tu, Princess Consort, Sun Leng Chan, Mu Wan Shuang, Little Dot!

In fact, if one counted the three from the Heavenly Dynasty Empire with Tianhai Empire, they almost occupied half of the advancement spots.

The remaining nine individuals were divided among the other three empires and the Zhengyi Sect.

Two from the White Tiger Empire, two from the Yuelang Empire, two from the Silver Fox Empire, three from the Zhengyi Sect.

Nobody expected the Tianhai Empire would become the biggest winner in this White Tiger Summit.

They utterly crushed the other four forces.

Of the remaining seventeen, aside from the idle Red Moon, none of the other sixteen were to be underestimated.

For the audience, this was cause for excitement and anticipation.

The upcoming matches would be true battles of titans, more exciting than the previous ones.

Among these people, Ling Xiao, Joshua Long, and Red Moon had relatively lower cultivation levels, at least on the surface.

The rest were all at the seventeen levels of the Yin-Yang Realm or above.

Only the three of them, on the surface, Red Moon had a sixteenth level of Yin-Yang Realm cultivation level.

Joshua Long had a fifteenth level of Yin-Yang Realm cultivation level.

Amazingly, Ling Xiao was still only at the fourteenth level of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Joshua Long’s cultivation level had finally surpassed Ling Xiao once more.

However, he knew well that Ling Xiao’s slower breakthrough in cultivation was due to focusing his energy on cultivating the Body of the Mystic Realm and the Crimson Sun Sword Art.

In contrast, Joshua Long devoted all his efforts to breaking through his cultivation levels.

With the terrifying talent of the Dragon Clan, purely in terms of speed, it was possibly the fastest in the Mysterious World.

Surpassing Ling Xiao by one level wasn’t surprising at all.
