Chapter 154: Baker with Bad Intentions
When all the carriages drove into the arena, except for Callando, Trebis and others, who were disqualified from the competition, all seventeen contestants arrived.
On the second day of the summit showdown, the top 10 were released, so in addition to the original eight rings, two more rings were added, and the ten rings were lined up, and the four rings in the center were the largest, occupied by the top four players.
According to yesterday's matchup, the top 10 players with the most wins will defend in these 10 rings, while the remaining seven players will need to use their only challenge rights before they can take the stage.
If the challenger defeats the defender, he will be ranked in the top 10, and if he loses, not only will he be relegated to the last place, but he will never have any chance to step into the top 10 again, because the challenge is only allowed once!
Butian missed the last matchup of the group stage yesterday because of that palm, and although his qualification was retained, he was counted as a loss due to the absence of the last matchup with Laureate.
As a result, he not only lost his place in the semi-finals, but also added a stain to his original all-win record, dropping his ranking to eighth, but fortunately he has not been kicked out of the top ten.
Today's peak showdown is even more hot than yesterday, although the number of contestants has been sharply reduced to seventeen, but because of this, there is a strong competition, and before the duel has even begun, the air seems to be filled with a smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere is extremely tense.
There were many spectators in the crowd whose eyes were hot, and some people opened the hall and set up a gambling game, attracting many people to participate in it.
And Butian's reappearance was also noticed by most of the people in the field, and each of them was shocked in their hearts in a little strange eyes.
After all, the battle between Butian and Habya III yesterday was seen by everyone, and they all remembered this young man who dared to kill the fifth prince and challenge the majesty of Habya III, and even saw the heavy price paid by Butian after breaking Habya III's palm.
Many people think that Butian is useless, and the huge loss of life potential has completely silenced this young man who is beginning to shine, and there will be no more potential in the future.
And the injury is so serious, although the quota of the peak duel is retained, it is difficult to appear in the ring again, and if he misses the peak duel, he cannot obtain the student qualification of the Holy Light Academy, so it can be said that Butian has been classified as a waste in the hearts of everyone.
But it was such a waste person, who reappeared, and looking at his mental outlook, he didn't seem to be injured at all, as if the guy who died of aging yesterday was not the same person as him.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and they began to have a strong interest in Butian, and some people became extremely optimistic about Butian because of yesterday's battle, and they pressed a lot of money in the gambling game.
Butian, who was being discussed by everyone, was looking around in the pavilion at this time, and from time to time his eyes swept over a tall building in the easternmost position, as if he was expecting something, and a sinister smile flashed in his eyes.
Beside him, Renault sat on the stone chair and wiped the waterfall knife intently, but Sean had already climbed the tall stone pillar with the other eleven magistrates not long after entering the arena, but Carlando's figure was gone, and he didn't know where he had gone.
It didn't take long for Habia III's gorgeous eight-man sedan chair to arrive, and yesterday's white-haired old man was still following him, but looking at his face, he seemed to be much haggard.
Seeing this scene, the step thief laughed, the middle-level 5-level martial artist is not a cabbage after all, thinking that he made a request yesterday and asked for the blood of five middle-level 5-level martial artists in one go, I am afraid that even Habiya III will feel extremely embarrassed, but this kind of request happens to be within his reach, therefore, this old man with white hair is naturally unlucky as a courtier.
Just after Habia III's sedan chair drove into the tall building, a gust of wind swept suddenly, roaring and raging the entire martial arts arena, with this gust of wind, a powerful pressure that covered the whole field suddenly came, the whole sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds at this moment, it looked dark and gloomy, and the cold air suddenly dropped a few degrees, chilling people's hearts.
A continuous chant resounded from the crowd of "Venerables", and in the end, this cry resounded through the heavens and the earth, causing turmoil, and everyone bowed down to greet him.
"The old man in gray" Bu Tian was stunned for a moment, and then followed everyone's eyes to look at the sky, but saw a blue-eyed giant beast slowly circling in the air, on top of the huge body of this giant beast five or six zhang long, an elderly man in a gray robe sat cross-legged, and bursts of powerful pressure that shook people's hearts came out of his body, and Bu Tian could even see the energy flow outside the other party's body that almost formed a substance, which was a sign that the energy aura was about to turn into a realm.
"Is this the strength of a high-level giant? This coercion is almost suffocating, and I don't know how much stronger it is than yesterday's clone that was just a ray of divine consciousness projection. ”
A trace of shock flashed in Butian's eyes, looking at the figure of the blue-eyed giant beast sitting cross-legged, although this figure was rickety, it looked weak, but it was so simple to sit there, as if it was one with heaven and earth, with an unshakable momentum, like a sky ancient pine, standing still.
"Your Holiness. When the blue-eyed giant beast that the old man sat down to the level of the twelve stone pillars, all the magistrates stood up and stroked their chests and saluted, a strong man whose strength had reached a high level, although it was not the top high-level 8, but in terms of status, it was already extraordinary, and he deserved everyone's respect.
"You don't need to be polite, the old man came here today to see if this last day's peak showdown will be as exciting and fierce as the last one, if my Crook Principality has another person with a talent like Bin, why worry about the country not being prosperous?"
Bin Fengue, that is the Venus student of the Holy Light Academy, except for the other nine Venus students of the same status, it can be said that he is above all the students, even Elena, who is the daughter of the Dean of the Holy Light Academy, cannot be compared.
Since the launch of the qualification challenge ten years ago, Bin has stood out and made great progress all the way to the first place in the pinnacle duel.
Soon after entering the academy, his strength broke through, and there was a big leap in almost a year, and in just six years, Bin stepped into the high ranks and was promoted to one of the top ten Venus students of the Holy Light Academy.
Such an almost legendary figure is not much inferior to the genius of the god who stepped into the high level at the age of twenty as Sean said, and he is a rare genius in a hundred years.
The gray-shirted old man suddenly talked about the guests at this time, and all the magistrates had different thoughts and different colors. But Sean sneered in his heart, he had already understood the meaning of the other party's words, which was nothing more than a reassurance to the incident that caused a lot of trouble yesterday, so that everyone had a little scruple in their hearts, and they would not give the Principality of Crook a black stroke and a cold stumbling block after returning to the academy.
After all, risking offending a Venus student to embarrass a small principality, this matter will not be worth it when most people think about it.
"Hehe, His Holiness really cares about the world, the country and the people, and it is really a blessing for the whole country to have the protection of His Holiness in the Principality of Crook. ”
Elena smiled skillfully, her watery eyes flashed with a bright luster, and her compliments not only did not make people feel any sycophancy, but gave people a heartfelt sigh, she said this, and then continued: "Okay, since the Venerable has moved here, then I will not delay any longer, and the peak duel will begin." ”
As soon as these words fell, Elena Lian stepped lightly, and glided to the largest ring in the center, and a slightly charming and majestic voice came out of her mouth, spreading in all directions: "The hour has come, and the peak duel has officially begun." ”
The sound swept the audience, like an invisible storm, everyone was in a shock, and their eyes were on the ring, and some of the contestants were even more nervous and excited, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and their knuckles were white due to force.
Butian and Renault glanced at each other, got up and walked out of the pavilion, in this eye, the two seemed to say silently in their hearts at the same time: "The last peak, I hope you can persist to the end." ”
At the same time, Elena opened her mouth and continued to command loudly: "The ten people who won the most in the group stage yesterday will immediately come to the stage to defend it, except for the top four players, the other six people are arranged according to their rankings, and each of them will be on the fifth to tenth ring.
The remaining seven contestants will have the priority to challenge the ten people on the stage, and the winner will continue to defend the inheritance position, and the loser will be reduced to the last place.
Everyone has only one chance to challenge, and each time the defender is challenged, they will have half an hour to rest and adjust.
Until the top 10 is determined, there will be a final qualifying match to determine the 1st to 10th places.
Each ring will have a magistrate to challenge the matter, and no one is allowed to disobey the magistrate's decision. ”
Hearing these words, there was naturally a commotion in the crowd and a lot of discussions.
On top of the twelve tall stone pillars, ten magistrates immediately flew down, only the old god Sean was still sitting on the stone pillars, looking like he was watching the show.
The ten magistrates each chose a ring, almost close to the eighth ring on the edge, but was chosen by Baker, and he was the abbot, and I don't know if it was intentional, Butian approached quickly, and he couldn't help but look a little gloomy when he saw this scene.
