Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 591 The First Crushing Defeat! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Three minutes later, in the arena
"Oh!"

A violent energy storm spread outwards, and one of the burly figures had his head severed by a battle blade, vanishing into nothingness.

[First match of the Blood Transformation Realm: Liu Qu (Liu Ren) wins!]

……

The intelligent voice system announced the final results.

On the large blue electronic screen, Knox's image instantly went dark.

On Earth, in the stands, Knox was teleported back. He bowed his head and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I lost!"

The Ice and Snow Emperor, clad in white robes, offered words of comfort:

"Just do your best!"

The others frowned, wondering how a genius who had awakened two abilities could lose so quickly!
Knox is ranked third in the Seven Realms, yet he can't even beat the weakest one.

The strength of the Flowing Blade Civilization may be even greater than they imagined.

……

In the Liuren Civilization contestant area, Tianrenliu's expression remained calm.

"There's actually a genius who has awakened two abilities!"

"This Blue Star civilization is a bit stronger than I imagined."

The stream that had been teleported back also spoke with a smile:
"This native is quite strong, but he's still far inferior to me."

"Even if a few geniuses are born who awaken two abilities, they cannot escape the fate of total annihilation."

Upon hearing this, the others also smiled.

They were even eager to go on stage and show their skills.

"Next up, Wind Serpent, you're up!"

As Tianrenliu spoke, a tall and beautiful woman stood up and was enveloped in a blue beam of light, soaring into the sky.

And the Blue Star civilization's contestant seats

"Ada, you're up next!"

A woman dressed in a golden robe spoke to a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, saying that she was the strongest in the Sunset Kingdom—the Wind King.

"Yes!"

Ada stood up and was teleported to the arena by a beam of light.

Jiang Tao said with a solemn expression, "Ada is the second-ranked genius. If she loses again, she's finished!"

Others also turned their attention to the arena.

The second battle has begun.

Both combatants were women, and both used swords.

One person awakens the power of wind, and another awakens the power of wood.

The two sides began to clash repeatedly, and the battle was extremely fierce.

In theory, both sides are at the peak of the seventh realm, and their combat strength is not much different.

However, in reality, after several rounds of fighting, Ada was at a disadvantage.

Lin Qi also frowned; the difference was quite obvious.

Because Ada was familiar with the Wind Serpent, but the opponent's sword technique was not simple, he quickly launched a counterattack, and Ada quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"We're going to lose this game!"

Lin Qi made a decision in his mind instantly.

"Pfft~"

Two minutes later, Ada was killed when a sword pierced her chest.

A look of regret appeared on the Wind King's exquisite face. She shook her head and said:
"What a pity, the defeat was so frustrating."

"This is the difference in inheritance. If Ada had also cultivated a five-star secret manual, she wouldn't have lost."

"There is still no suitable five-star manual for his wood-attribute swordsmanship, and it is far inferior in terms of the sophistication of the moves."

The others nodded in agreement. Although their Blue Star civilization had Ruins No. 9, they had inherited a great deal of knowledge from it.

However, so far, there are no more than 10 five-star secret manuals.

The geniuses of the Flowing Blade Civilization are all top-tier geniuses of their civilization, and they all cultivate five-star secret manuals.

Their combat strength is several times weaker.

Lin Qi and the others also shook their heads, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

However, the shouts and cheers from the audience did not diminish; on the contrary, they became even louder.

At this moment, the Mountain and River King turned his head and said:

"For the third match, Xu Qin, you're up!"

Xu Qin, dressed in a green robe, slowly stood up.

Her expression was solemn. As one of the geniuses who had awakened two abilities, if she couldn't win either, then there would truly be no hope.

[Xu Qin, contestant from Blue Star Civilization, please get ready to enter the arena!]

After hearing the voice, she was immediately enveloped in a blue beam of light, which then shot into the sky.

They descended upon the arena.

On the other side, the Ryujin Civilization also had a physically imposing opponent wielding a long spear.

The battle is imminent!
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and Xu Qin caught the opponent off guard at the very beginning of the fight.

They even gained the upper hand for a time, which lasted for three minutes. Just as the battle was about to end, the opponent suddenly erupted.

"laugh!!"

"Pfft~"

Xu Qin felt her body being pierced by the spear. She unleashed her full power, controlling the thorny vines to deliver a powerful blow.

"Pfft~"

"what!!"

In an instant, sharp vine thorns pierced through the opponent's left eye and skull.

In the next instant, both of them vanished into nothingness.

[Match 3 of the Blood Transformation Realm: Draw!]

……

"Clap!!"

As soon as the intelligent voice system was announced, thunderous applause and shouts erupted from the audience.

In the contestants' seats, everyone started applauding when Xu Qin was teleported back.

Ba Wang couldn't help but praise, "Well done, Xu Qin, you've done a great job."

King Shanhe also praised, "They showed the fighting spirit of our Blue Star."

Xu Qin shook her head and said:
"It's a pity it was just a draw; we didn't beat our opponent."

Lin Qi also spoke up, saying, "A draw is a testament to skill."

At this moment, King Shanhe spoke up and announced:

"Jiang Tao, you're up next!"

Jiang Tao's dark face showed a firm expression as he said:

"I am absolutely certain I will win this battle!"

After saying that, he transformed into a blue pillar of light and shot into the sky.

……

Laughter filled the stands of the Ryujin Civilization audience.

"Juehai, you and your opponent perished together. How shameful!"

Juehai, who was being ridiculed by everyone, immediately defended himself with a grim expression:
"I was just careless for a moment."

"Let's have another match, I'm absolutely sure I can beat him!"

At this moment, Tianrenliu also spoke:

"There will be no next match, everyone take note!"

"The Blue Star civilization has some knowledge of us, so we must not be careless from now on."

"I hope that something like the Desolate Sea will not happen again. Next, I hope for a complete victory."

"The rewards for the Deep Sea expedition are gone!"

At this point, Juehai's expression immediately turned ugly.

The smiles of the others vanished instantly.

"Next up, Liu Kui!"

A burly man, over two and a half meters tall, stood up and was enveloped in a blue beam of light, soaring into the sky.

He descended upon the arena, clad in blue armor and wielding a giant battle axe.

Looking at Jiang Tao across from him, he smiled and said:

"Hey, I'll take you down in three moves!"

After hearing this, Jiang Tao slowly spoke in broken, universal language:

"The clown!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kui felt a surge of anger.

"Watch me tear your mouth apart!"

[Countdown: ... 3, 2, 1]

[The fourth round of the Blood Transformation Realm competition has officially begun!]

"die!"

After the intelligent female voice announced the start, Liu Kui brandished his battle axe and launched a rapid charge.

With the force of a thunderbolt, it slashed down fiercely towards Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao also revealed an excited smile, his body instantly filled with excitement.

"Oh!"

The sword and the giant axe collided, the air exploded, and an energy storm was unleashed.

In an instant, Liu Kui felt a terrifying suppressive force.

Just like when I train in the gravity chamber.

A terrifying gravity pressed down on me, and my body began to feel heavy involuntarily.

"This is... a domain?"

Liu Kui was shocked. Domain power, a fifth-order skill?
How can this be?

At the same time, in the audience of the Ryujin Civilization, Tenren Ryu's brows furrowed.

"Another genius who has awakened two abilities; this is the fourth one already."

"This Earth civilization is no ordinary civilization."

"Even if there are trial planets, there shouldn't be so many geniuses here, right?"

"And this guy named Jiang Tao has actually broken through to the fifth rank."

"Having a fifth-tier skill at the Blood Exchange Realm is extremely rare even in our Flowing Blade Civilization."

"Liu Kui is going to lose this match!"

The Heavenly Blade School quickly made a judgment: the difference in skill was enough to make up for the difference in inheritance.

Meanwhile, the other players from Liuren Civilization were also surprised.

"Fifth-tier sword technique? How is that possible?"

"Something I couldn't do, a native did?"

Even Liu Ming opened his eyes, revealing a surprised expression.

It's astonishing that such a small planet as Blue Star has produced such a genius.

There might be other geniuses out there.

Unfortunately, they did not collect information on martial artists at the eighth level.

At the same time, anticipation rose in his heart.

He hopes that among his opponents in the Qi Refining Realm, there will also be a top genius, so that he won't feel bored.

……

The battle in the arena is still ongoing.

It could even be described as exceptionally intense, with Jiang Tao wielding his battle sword and suppressing Liu Kui.

He was in high spirits. The power of his domain was incredibly effective for martial artists who didn't possess it. It directly reduced the opponent's combat strength while enhancing his own; otherwise, defeating his opponent would have been far too difficult.

Under the suppression of the domain, even the most exquisite secret techniques are useless.

"Pfft~"

A moment later, Jiang Tao unleashed his killing move. With the enhancement of his domain power, the power of his killing move was greatly increased.

"Oh!"

In the violent collision, it slashed Liu Kui's throat.

In the energy storm, Liu Kui fell to the ground and died, turning into nothingness and dissipating.

[Fourth match of the Blood Transformation Realm: Jiang Tao (Blue Star) wins!]

Above the arena, an intelligent voice announced the results.

Jiang Tao gripped his sword tightly and roared, releasing his excitement.

We finally won a game!
"Bah bang bang!!"

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

I'm so excited!

Their Blue Star civilization finally won a battle.

In the audience seats on Blue Star, Jiang Tao was teleported back and was greeted with applause from the crowd.

"Taozi, well done."

Lin Qi couldn't help but praise him, even though Jiang Tao wasn't his strongest fighter yet.

His strongest state will come when he undergoes another blood transfusion, enters Ruins No. 9, and obtains the five-star manual.

This way, it doesn't matter who you fight.

However, no matter how strong he is on his own now, he can't overcome the fact that the others are too weak.

After the others finished celebrating, their expressions also became serious.

Four geniuses who awakened two abilities each won only one match.

It's practically impossible to win from here on out.

……

The inspection team was in the audience.

Deacon Taga also showed a look of surprise:
"The Blue Star civilization actually has such a genius."

"They actually managed to win a game!"

"It seems they've unearthed quite a few good things from the trial planet, and it's also fertile ground for the birth of geniuses."

Tie Ran laughed and said, "Blue Star civilization is already quite good, managing to win one game and draw another."

"I thought they were going to be completely wiped out."

The burly Lei Gu said, "Winning one game would be good enough."

"But in the end, we may still lose."

Everyone nodded; they could all see a clear difference in strength between the two sides.

……

Liuren Civilization player slots
Liu Kui was teleported back with a grim expression. He had actually lost to a native; it was truly humiliating.

Most importantly, there were no rewards.

They are all top geniuses from various factions within the Flowing Blade Civilization, participating in the Fire Seed Trial. Every victory they achieve is a contribution to the civilization and comes with generous rewards.

"Liu Kui is really unlucky. Jiang Tao's native strength is indeed very strong."

"You've encountered them, it's normal that you can't beat them."

The white-robed Heavenly Blade Style also spoke up at this moment:

"This is an accident. There is only one genius who can master a fifth-level skill."

"We can't afford to lose the next few matches."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded, and one person stood up; it was his turn to go on stage.

……

After Jiang Tao, among all the geniuses of the seventh realm on Blue Star, there were no more geniuses who awakened two abilities.

You can only be randomly matched with other players.

Fifth match, a loss!
Sixth match, a loss!
Game 7, loss!
……

He suffered three consecutive defeats, each one incredibly swift, ending in a mere few seconds.

Since minor supernatural powers and life-threatening methods such as burning blood are not allowed in the Fire Seed Trial, one can only rely on strength.

The difference between having one ability and having two abilities is still too great.

On the seats of the Blue Star Civilization contestants.

The strongest warrior in the White Eagle Federation, the God of War, shook his head and said:

"The timing of the Fire Seed Trial is still too early. Our country still has two geniuses who have awakened two abilities, and they have just broken through to the seventh realm."

"If we give them a few more months, our Seventh Realm might be able to win one or two more matches."

The Ice and Snow Emperor also spoke up, saying, "Our country also has one."

The Overlord also spoke up, "Our country also has one, but it has just broken through to the sixth realm."

While everyone was discussing, the competition on the field was also progressing rapidly.

Lin Qi watched as the geniuses in the third row went on stage one by one, and were quickly teleported back.

Geniuses like Shen Heng and Gu Cheng were no match for them and were easily defeated.

Soon, it was time for the final match.

In the arena
[Blood Exchange Realm Match 10: Feng Jia (Flowing Blade wins!)]

With the announcement from the intelligent female voice, all nine rounds of the Blood Transformation Realm have come to an end.

On the large blue screen, the nine avatars facing each other went dark.

"Everyone!"

"Om!!"

The next moment, the burly Tagha was projected again.

His voice drew the attention of the crowd.

"I hereby declare the first round of the Fire Seed Trial, the Blood Exchange Realm competition, officially over."

"Liu Ren Civilization has 8 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss!"

"Blue Star Civilization has 8 losses, 1 draw, and 1 win!"

"Ryujin Bunmei wins the first round!"

Taga announces the results!

"Clap!!"

In an instant, thunderous applause and tsunami-like shouts erupted from the audience of the Ryujin Civilization.

"too weak!"

"Is this the strength of Earth's civilization?"

"I might as well do it myself."

"Let these natives of Earth witness the power of our Flowing Blade civilization."

"It's boring. Their strength is not even as good as the Iron Gang Civilization. At least they can fight back and forth."

They spoke the language of the Flowing Blade Civilization, which the audience on Earth couldn't understand, but their expressions told them it wasn't a pleasant language.

They only felt a sense of frustration.

"Oh no, the gap is too big."

"how to spell?"

"We simply cannot win."

"Don't be discouraged. The eighth and ninth realms are the strongest fighting force of our Blue Star civilization."

"The real show is just beginning."

There was also a commotion in the audience.

Their morale had plummeted to rock bottom.

When Deacon Taga saw this scene, he felt a sense of familiarity. He had presided over 1000 Fire Trials and had seen this situation many times before.

From initial fervor to eventual repression and despair.

He continued, saying:

"I hereby announce that the second round will begin, in the Arena of the Refining Aperture Realm Martial Artists of both sides. Players from both sides, please prepare yourselves."

After that, the blue screen refreshed and switched to a new positioning.

His figure also transformed into blue light particles and dissipated into the air.

Liu Ren Civilization is in the player's position.

Liu Ming's expression also turned serious; it was his turn to play in this round.

"In this sentence, we at the Qi Refining Realm must strive for a complete victory and not give the natives of Blue Star any chance."

A burly man spoke with a resounding voice. He held a high position among the crowd because he was a galaxy-level genius.

Tianrenliu was also observing the Blue Star Civilization's contestant seats at this time, and Jiang Tao's appearance made him feel a bit of crisis.

However, his subsequent six-game winning streak restored his confidence.

The next stage of the Qi Refining Realm will be no exception.

So he turned his head and said:

"For the first match, it's the same as before, Liu Hu, you're up!"

A lean, imposing man sitting in the second row slowly stood up and confidently said:
"I won't be careless, for my reward!"

After he finished speaking, he was enveloped in a blue beam of light and shot into the sky.

……

In the audience seats on Blue Star, the 10 ninth-realm martial artists in the front row exchanged glances.

The Crimson Emperor slowly turned around and looked at the second row, saying, "It has begun!"

"Every game in the next round is crucial."

"The future of Earth's civilization rests in your hands!"

The ten people, including Lin Qi, looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

The Ice and Snow Emperor in silver robes spoke:

"Andrei, you're up for the first match!"

Even the burly Andrei, who stood at 2.3 meters tall, nodded and said:

"Teacher, I won't let you down!"

After he finished speaking, he was enveloped in a blue beam of light and shot into the sky.

All eyes were on the arena; whether they could win the first match was of great importance to their entire Blue Star civilization.

"boom!"

In the spacious arena, two beams of light descended, and Liu Hu, dressed in a blue battle armor, held a silver blade resembling an embroidered spring knife.

He looked at Andrei opposite him, and said calmly:

"Show me your full strength and put some pressure on me."

Andrei remained silent, like a block of ice, silently gathering his strength. The intense pressure prevented him from being distracted in the slightest.

[Countdown: ... 3, 2, 1]

[The first competition in the Qi Refining Realm has officially begun!]

……

"boom!"

A terrifying aura emanated from Andrei, and two layers of icy blue patterns appeared on his body, instantly freezing the surrounding ground.

"Whoosh~"

He instantly brandished his battle axe and charged forward, unleashing his full power without any intention of testing the waters.

"That makes sense!"

Liu Hu revealed an excited smile, and swung his sword like a whirlwind, tearing through the air.
