Battle God In Martial Meritocrats Continent

1Qi Zhuohao paid a heavy price. He finally defeated Helian Wufa and won the competition. He was very happy in his heart. To him, this was totally worth it. Because he had won this competition, he had already obtained a spot in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave for training.    3

    

The Heavenly Nether Secret Cave was very important to Qi Zhuohao, not for any other reason. He wanted to help Nan Yudia find the Poison Scripture. As for the injuries in her body... With the help of Nan Yudia's Medicinal Pill and his own recovery ability, and with Du Qingluo's protection, it wouldn't be long before Qi Zhuohao could move freely. Even if it was a ranking competition, he should have the ability to participate.    

    

Of course, even if Qi Zhuohao didn't participate in the ranking competition, he would at least be fourth place. The reward for fourth place was also very good!    

    

Looking at Qi Zhuohao who was as calm as still water and healing with all his strength, everyone present could not help but sigh with emotion. Helian Wufa, who had the Grand Heaven Bell, had been defeated by Qi Zhuohao, one of the core disciples of Thousand Searching Sect. Who else could be a match for Qi Zhuohao?    

    

However, everyone knew that no one would dare to jump to conclusions until the last moment. They made random guesses. One should know that Nan Yudia, Shen Ji, and Bian Tong had yet to fully display their true strength. Who was stronger and who was weaker? He could only rely on facts to speak.    

    

The following matches were not affected by Qi Zhuohao's healing. The second match was between Qin Feng and Fei Guangli. Qin Feng and Fei Guangli were the first core disciples of Hao Yue Peak and Forgotten Worry Peak respectively. The battle between the two was extremely intense!    

    

This battle lasted for an hour before it ended with Qin Feng's victory. This result made the disciples admire Qin Feng's strength even more. He was an alchemist. Qin Feng was a true genius, and his own strength was incredible as well.    

    

Of course, the current Qin Feng wasn't an alchemist yet. He was just a high-ranked Mortal Rank alchemist. However... There was no second such a young high-grade Mortal Rank alchemist in the entire county city. It was not an exaggeration to call him a genius alchemist!    

    

Qin Feng only needed some time to advance to a true Earth Rank alchemist. Such a person... Everyone wanted to try their best to rope him in, but Qin Feng was too proud and arrogant. He was very rebellious. He wouldn't even spare a glance to ordinary people. It was hard to even say a word to him!    

    

The next match was between Nan Yudia and Tian Yu of Dayuan Peak. Tian Yu's strength was obviously weaker than Helian Wufa and Fei Guangli. Of course... In the end, Nan Yudia also used her heartforce to match with the many martial skills of the Illusion Tome to defeat him.    

    

Nan Yudia was able to win, which was already within her expectations. However, after fighting Tian Yu, she finally understood one thing, and that was that she was a little arrogant. The genius disciples of each peak all had extraordinary strength.    

    

Nan Yudia was well aware that in this battle with Tian Yu, if not for the defensive advantage of the Defensive Ground Weapon and the heart sutra technique taught by Qi Zhuohao, she would definitely have to pay a painful price and time to defeat Tian Yu!    

    

"Zhuohao, are your injuries alright?"    

    

Nan Yudia had just walked down the Life And Death Platform when she saw Qi Zhuohao looking at her with his blessing. At this moment, Qi Zhuohao's face was still somewhat pale, but his expression was full of vitality. This was the effect of the healing Medicinal Pill.    

    

"Haha! It's alright now. Furthermore, I have successfully broken through. Yudia, I will have to trouble you this time!"    

    

Although Qi Zhuohao's tone was very calm, he was very grateful to Nan Yudia in his heart. The Medicinal Pill that Nan Yudia gave him was very rare. It was a very precious Great Rejuvenating Pill. The Great Rejuvenating Pill was not something a Small Rejuvenating Pill could compare with. Using it on him was simply a waste. However, Nan Yudia did not hesitate to give it to him to consume.    

    

Qi Zhuohao knew that the Great Recovery Pill was definitely given to Nan Yudia by her family to save her life. The number of Great Recovery Pills on Nan Yudia's body must be very limited, so Qi Zhuohao felt helpless and regretful.    

    

Of course, the great healing effect of the Great Rejuvenating Pill was also very shocking to Qi Zhuohao. With his injuries, even if he used the Small Rejuvenating Pill, however, after consuming the Great Rejuvenating Pill... It only took him more than two hours.    

    

Nan Yudia also understood what Qi Zhuohao meant. When she heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Zhuohao, why are you being polite with me? No matter how good the Medicinal Pill is, if it is kept on you and not used, it is also equivalent to not having it. Why do you need to remember it?"    

    

To Nan Yudia, although the Great Rejuvenating Pill was precious, she could still take it out. Furthermore, in her heart, if she could help Qi Zhuohao, not to mention a Great Rejuvenating Pill, even if it was her own life, she would not hesitate to give it up!    

    

From the moment they met until now, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia had experienced life and death. The relationship between the two of them was very strong. For each other, the two of them would willingly give it up for free. This point could not be changed!    

    

"Right, Zhuohao, you said you broke through. Is this true?"    

    

Nan Yudia's eyes and tone were filled with deep joy. She would not doubt Qi Zhuohao's words. A battle could indeed allow a martial artist to break through the barrier of the realm. It was just that this kind of situation rarely happened.    

    

Qi Zhuohao did not reveal his realm aura, so his realm would remain at the first level of the current major realm. No one else could see it, but before the competition for the trial spots in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave began, Qi Zhuohao was already at the peak of the third level of the Spirit Acceptance Realm. Who would have thought that... A fierce battle had actually allowed Qi Zhuohao to advance to the fourth level of the Spirit Acceptance Realm. This was something worth being happy about.    

    

Qi Zhuohao did not say anything to Nan Yudia. He only lightly nodded his head. He was undoubtedly very happy about the breakthrough in his realm. One should know that... Among the nine minor realms, the third and fourth were the dividing line. Similarly, the sixth and seventh levels were also the dividing line. At the two ends of the dividing line, the difference in strength could be said to be very great.    

    

In other words, after Qi Zhuohao advanced to the fourth level of the Spirit Acceptance Stage, his overall strength had increased by a large amount. If he could not fight Helian again, Qi Zhuohao believed that he would not be in such a sorry state.    

    

Of course, this was just a general idea. The Grand Heaven Bell could reflect the power and damage. The stronger the attacker's power was, the greater the damage of the backlash. From another point of view, Qi Zhuohao's strength had become stronger. If he fought Helian Wufa, he would suffer even more.    

    

"Congratulations, then! Alright, Zhuohao, your injuries haven't fully recovered. You'd better stop talking and focus on healing yourself! "    

    

Nan Yudia said with a smile and did not say anything else. She naturally hoped that Qi Zhuohao would have the perfect condition to participate in the ranking competition. It was also the final battle, and the ranking was getting higher and higher. The rewards would be more generous. Qi Zhuohao needed these.    

    

He nodded his head lightly again and threw a grateful look at Du Qingluo. He closed his eyes and continued to circulate his Qi to heal his wounds. He knew what Nan Yudia was thinking. Even if Nan Yudia did not say anything, he still had to make the best use of his time to treat his injuries. Even if it was not for the ranking competition, he still had to consider his own safety.    

    

For Du Qingluo to protect Qi Zhuohao, this was a kindness to Qi Zhuohao. He, who was at the end of his rope, was most likely to be ambushed by Zhu Tianrong and the others. Du Qingluo's protection undoubtedly made Qi Zhuohao let go of the worries in his heart.    

    

The fourth match began very quickly. Qi Zhuohao felt somewhat helpless. The last match of this round was Shen Ji versus Bian Tong. Shen Ji and Bian Tong were both rare geniuses. One of them was an ice-type warrior. The other one had a terrifying defense. This would undoubtedly be a soul-stirring battle. However, Qi Zhuohao did not have the time to observe. He could only focus on healing himself. It was truly a pity!    

    

When Qi Zhuohao's injuries were fully healed, he opened his eyes. Shen Ji and Bian Tong were no longer in Life And Death Platform. He listened to the whispers of the surrounding disciples. Only now did he know that the competition had ended. Bian Tong had lost to Shen Ji.    

    

"Humph! Let's go!"    

    

Just as Qi Zhuohao was about to ask Nan Yudia about the battle between Shen Ji and Bian Tong, an old but powerful snort sounded from time to time. Immediately after that, the Third Elder led Zhu Tianrong and the other experts away with a gloomy expression.    

    

In the beginning, Qi Zhuohao was still puzzled. Why would the Essence Incarnating Expert on Shen Ba's side do such a thing? But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt relieved. This wasn't strange. Shen Ba and the others should have this kind of attitude!    

    

One should know that the battle had come to this point. It could be said that the overall situation had already been decided. The top five disciples were all from the Great Elder's side. None of the disciples on Shen Ba's side had gotten a spot to train in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. Shen Ba and the others continued to stay here. They would only be mocked by the Essence Incarnating Expert of the Third Elder's side. Why would they bring shame upon themselves?    

    

Also, the conflict between the higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect had reached a critical point. Shen Ba was very annoyed that his disciples didn't get a chance to train in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. It was very likely that he would start the war early! He would definitely start a discussion with Zhu Tianrong and the others when they returned. He would arrange the following matters.    

    

After Shen Ba and the others left, almost half of the disciples were also taken away. The atmosphere at the Life And Death Platform became unusually quiet. The people who stayed behind... Most of them were the Great Elder's subordinates, while the remaining few were the Great Elder's subordinates. They were the disciples and experts of the four halls.    

    

"Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia, Shen Ji and Qin Feng, congratulations on advancing to the finals!"    

    

Sima Qingyun's voice broke the silence of the scene. He changed the topic. He continued, "I will not delay everyone's time. Next, let's invite the fifth winner, Tu Qiuyu, onto the stage. Tu Qiuyu, you have the right to give up on this battle!"    

    

In Sima Qingyun's and even in the eyes of everyone present, Tu Qiuyu didn't have the strength to fight any one of the four geniuses, let alone one versus four. In this battle, Tu Qiuyu would probably admit defeat.    

    

As expected, as soon as Sima Qingyun finished speaking, Tu Qiuyu shouted out the words' I admit defeat '. Tu Qiuyu knew that she would only be tortured if she went on stage, so it was necessary for her to admit defeat. She was already very lucky to be ranked fifth.    

    

Of course, there was only a difference of one rank between the fifth and fourth place. The treatment was completely different. This was not only because the rewards given by the sect were a little less, but more importantly, she, who was ranked fifth, did not have a place to train in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave!    

    

"Alright! Since Tu Qiuyu has given up the competition, Qi Zhuohao, Qin Feng... the four of you will go up the stage and fight in groups of two. The victor will participate in the competition for the first place, and the loser will compete for the third and fourth place..."    

    

Qi Zhuohao and the other three had obtained the quota for the trial in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. This round of battle was only to determine the ranking.    

    

"Hall Master Sima, may I ask if we can give up on this round of competition?"    

    

Just as everyone was waiting with anticipation for Qi Zhuohao and the other three to enter the competition, Qin Feng asked slowly. Obviously, Qin Feng didn't want to participate in such a meaningless competition. To him, the ranking was just an undeserved reputation.    

    

Qin Feng had an extraordinary background, so he didn't need any rewards from the sect. The reason why he participated in the competition was for the chance to participate in the trial in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. Since he had already obtained the quota, he didn't want to fight anymore. Besides... He was also very wary of Qi Zhuohao and the other two's strength, and didn't want to fight them.    

    

"Sure, but you have to think it through. The higher the rank, the greater the reward..."
