The Battle for the Championship Began Early
On the huge Bluestone Square, of the original 55 contestants, only eight remained after a fierce battle!
They became the focus of everyone's attention.
Cheers echoed from almost every corner.
Apart from Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, Feng Qing'er, Tang Ying, and Mu Qingluan, the other three all wore obvious expressions of excitement.
They were naturally extremely excited to have come this far.
Even though they knew this was probably the longest they could go, they still couldn't hide the joy on their faces.
It can be said that before the great melee ended, even though they were all seven or eight-star Dou Emperor, none of them were confident that they could stand until the end.
After all, this is a huge free-for-all, with too many uncertainties!
After all, they are not among the top few contestants. Faced with an attack from multiple Dou Emperor, even if they are stronger, they may still be defeated.
It's important to understand that in a large-scale battle, if someone is targeted, the stronger player is very likely to lose.
Don't you see, even though Wang Chen, the Chief Disciple the Yellow Springs Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions, possessed the strength of Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor, he was still defeated by Xiao Yan?
So, the fact that the three of them are still standing here is largely due to luck.
Meanwhile, after the fierce battle to determine the Top Eight, Thunder Venerable stood up once again.
As before, when Thunder Venerable stood up and his gaze swept across the entire room, almost all sound disappeared.
First of all, congratulations to the eight of you who are still standing on the field! You have successfully passed the first round of the free-for-all test! But this is not the end, but the beginning!
Next up is the main event of my Four Pavilions Assembly – Challenge Tournament!
You can choose any of the rankings from 1 to 8 to challenge.
Once there are no competitors for the position you choose, or all other competitors are defeated, you will directly claim the throne of that position!
Each person has three attempts.
Of course, if you haven't used up all your challenge attempts and are satisfied with your ranking, you can choose to give up and continue challenging.
The rules are that simple. Is there anything you don't understand?
Thunder Venerable's voice traveled through his Dou Qi to the ears of the eight people on the Bluestone Square, including Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.
No one raised any objection after that.
Obviously, they're not stupid. Thunder Venerable explained it so clearly; if they still couldn't understand, then they really might not be smart enough.
Furthermore, although the challenge is for rankings from one to eight, in reality, there's almost no need to choose the eighth place; you can just relax and accept it.
In other words, the eight of them will be challenging for rankings one through seven next!
Immediately, the eight people exchanged glances, none of them making a choice first.
After all, those who are chosen later clearly have an advantage.
For example, if you see someone better than you choose a certain ranking, you'd better obediently choose a lower ranking.
Otherwise, you definitely won't be able to stand firm!
Because you have three chances to challenge someone stronger than you!
So why make yourself uncomfortable?
Therefore, after Thunder Venerable finished speaking, the two Eight-Star Dou Emperors and one Seven-Star Dou Emperor all eagerly turned their gazes to Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, Feng Qing'er, Tang Ying, and Mu Qingluan.
These five big shots were clearly beyond the capabilities of the three of them.
They also didn't have the habit of going up to masochize others.
"Hmph, a bunch of cowards. I'm taking first place. Anyone want to take it from me?"
In the end, Feng Qing'er was the first to step forward.
And she's aiming straight for first place!
Not only that, but to avoid wasting time, she also directly revealed her Dou Zong cultivation level, which she had been hiding all along!
"Boom"
The moment the aura erupted, the two Eight-Star Dou Emperors and the one Seven-Star Dou Emperor all involuntarily took a step back.
"Dou Zong!"
Even Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan's expressions changed at this moment.
They thought Feng Qing'er's cultivation level was similar to theirs, at most slightly stronger, reaching the Half-Step Dou Zong realm. They never expected her to be a true Dou Zong, and she had clearly taken several steps beyond the Dou Zong realm!
What challenges can they possibly have?
It's moisturized, so I won't even dream of getting first place.
Even Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan had this thought, so the remaining three contestants who were not even Nine-Star Dou Emperor were even less likely to do something like this!
At the same time, after revealing her cultivation level, Feng Qing'er's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yan.
The provocation in her beautiful eyes was obvious to anyone!
Xiao Yan: "..."
What's going on? This woman, whose face is practically screaming "arrogance," seems to be hostile towards him.
Do they know each other?
Or is it that the other party, like the 12 Dou Emperor who targeted him in the earlier melee, was also hired to target him?
Xiao Yan couldn't help but think to himself.
"Xiao Yan, what do you say? Should we teach this arrogant woman a lesson?"
Clearly, even though Feng Qing'er wasn't targeting her, Nalan Yanran was still quite angry.
She knew that with her newly attained Nine-Star Dou Emperor cultivation level, she was undoubtedly no match for her opponent.
However, Nalan Yanran, who has an inexplicable confidence in Xiao Yan, believes that if it were Xiao Yan, he would definitely win!
As for Xiao Yan himself, aside from the fact that he was originally aiming for first place in the Four Pavilions Assembly under Yao Lao's instructions, he was not the only one.
Even though he didn't come with this purpose in mind, after seeing Feng Qing'er's provocative gaze and suspecting that she was also targeting him, Xiao Yan didn't want to miss the chance to find out the answer!
After all, Feng Qing'er clearly knew more than those 12 cannon fodder Dou Emperor!
I wonder what kind of expression those 12 Dou Emperor who were defeated by Xiao Yan will have when they realize that they are just cannon fodder in Xiao Yan's eyes?
Returning to the present situation, Xiao Yan has indeed made a plan.
"Boom"
The aura of Dou Zong also erupted from Xiao Yan.
"Excuse me, Miss Feng Qing'er, I'm also quite interested in this first place ranking!"
A confident smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
After Xiao Yan also unleashed the aura of Dou Zong, Nalan Yanran revealed an expression of "I knew it."
As for the others, apart from Nalan Yanran, the remaining five people's expressions changed once again.
Alright, alright, two Dou Zong, what's the point of them fighting over that?
At that moment, the first and second place rankings were immediately eliminated from their minds.
"Very well! I was worried you'd try to run away! Let me see what you're capable of!"
A smile also graced Feng Qing'er's face.
Her words also revealed that she had always intended to target Xiao Yan!
At the same time, their upcoming battle will directly determine the champion title of this Four Pavilions Assembly!
