Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 302
Chapter 302: Medicinal Pills And Elixirs Banned, Nangong Huang Defeats Chang Yuan, Lan Yu Versus Chang Tian
“Oh, that’s nice. As far as my Overlord Sage Tribe is concerned, the semifinal is as far as you shall go,” the Overlord Sage Tribe Leader uttered as he glanced at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren yawned in reply. “I’ve had enough of menacing threats. You might as well prove your strength with actions instead.”
“There’s one more point I’d like to bring up.”
At that moment, the Thirteenth Prefect continued to say, “In the upcoming matches, the use of medicinal pills or elixirs will be forbidden for the sake of fairness.”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze turned cold upon hearing that. “First you remove the points system, and now you’re banning the use of elixirs too? Do you want us Black Heaven Sect to compete with our arms and legs tied as well?”
“Please hold your anger, Sect Leader Chu. These measures are all implemented for the sake of fair competition. After all, Black Heaven Sect’s medicinal pills and elixirs are so overpowering that it’s foul-play to the other participants,” the Thirteenth Prefect explained.
“It’s alright, Sect Leader. Even without the use of medicinal pills, we can still win this championship. Just you wait and see,” Murong Xuan said with determination.
“That’s right. It’ll be meaningless to win that easily anyways.”
Nangong Huang added.
They had decided long ago that they would win the championship for the Black Heaven Sect as a thank you gift for Chu Kuangren.
Hence, they would never back down no matter what challenges they were thrown at.
Chu Kuangren took a deep breath before he glanced at the Thirteenth Prefect and others, and said, “You guys are the adjudicators anyway, so I’ll let you have the final say in this.”
He had chosen to respect the decision of Nangong Huang and others.
“If no one has nothing left to say, then we shall let the semifinals begin.”
“The semifinals will be conducted in a best-of-three format. Each participating orthodoxies shall send three contestants to represent them, and the first orthodoxy to win two out of the three matches will advance to the finals.”
The Thirteenth Prefect explained.
The rules of the competition were quite simple.
Soon.
The semifinals had begun.
“Sect Leader, please allow me to fight in the first match.”
Nangong Huang twisted his neck around while he said excitedly.
“Very well,” Chu Kuangren replied.
When Nangong Huang walked into the arena, they realized that his opponent was a Bachelor Sage from the Overlord Sage Tribe and someone whom Chu Kuangren was a little familiar with.
It was that guy he had met in the streets the other day, Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan
He immediately activated his Eye of Revelation.
Then, Chu Kuangren analyzed the combat strengths of both contestants. “Oh, the chances of Nangong Huang winning is as high as eighty percent.”
He chuckled.
It seemed like the so-called Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan was a greenhorn too.
“Bring it on!”
Nangong Huang drew his sword and gestured with his finger for Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan to attack.
“Hmph, you insolent fool!”
Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan roared and a violent black air current erupted from the surface of his body.
That was the Daoist Physique unique only to the Overlord Sage Tribe — the Overlord Physique!
The Overlord Physique was one of the Three-Thousand Physiques. Although it could not be compared to a top-notched Daoist Physique, the chances of such a physique manifesting among the Overlord Sage Tribe was extremely high. Almost every sky-pride in that sage orthodoxy possessed this Overlord Physique.
That alone was already a terrifying fact in itself. That was also the main reason the Overlord Sage Tribe could dominate all others in the Black Warrior Domain.
“Brilliant Heaven Shaking Punch!”
Knowing Nangong Huang’s extraordinary strength, Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan immediately started the fight with one of the Overlord Sage Tribe’s strongest Sage Technique.
In one punch, a violent surge of palm qi which transformed into a raging torrent was blasted towards Nangong along with Daoist Rhymes and sandstorms, like a terrifying black tornado.
However, Nangong Huang did not panic in the face of such an overwhelming attack. Instead, a Divine Yinyang Light began to swirl in his eyes.
The power of his Yinyang God-eye was activated!
“Divine Yinyang Light, Tide Surging Sword Art!”
Imbued with his raging sword qi, an endless surge of Yin and Yang Daoist Rhyme gushed out as if it was a tidal wave.
It was obvious that Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan’s Sage Technique was inferior compared to the sheer might of Nangong Huang’s attack. However, his fist energy could no longer push forward the moment his attack collided with his opponent’s, and the impact of the sword qi sent him flying backward instead.
“How’s this possible!”
Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan’s expression suddenly turned grim.
By then, the might of his opponent’s sword qi had already broken through his fist energy and was closing in on him. He hurriedly channeled his Overlord Physique’s ability to merge the Overlord Sage Tribe’s unique sword qi with his spiritual power, forming a dark golden barrier in front of him.
Boom, boom, boom!
The barrage of sword qi continuously landed on his barrier!
Multiple cracking sounds rang out and within a second, streaks of cracks appeared on the barrier before it eventually shattered.
The impact of the sword qi blasted Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan about less than five meters backward.
Although he looked fine, he was beaten into quite a mess.
More importantly, Nangong Huang took advantage of that victory and continued to attack his opponent. Even though he had an upper hand, he did not back down from unleashing his full strength.
There was already a difference in both their cultivation levels, but because Nangong Huang had also looked through all of Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan’s details beforehand, he knew all the latter’s techniques and weaknesses like the back of his hands. The winner of this battle was quite obvious.
Bam!
With one sword strike, Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan was sent flying before he crashed onto the wall of the arena. Even the strength of his Overlord Physique could not spare his body from being injured by Nangong Huang’s successive attacks.
He then fell onto the ground and wanted to pull himself up. However, all he could do was lay on the ground in dissatisfaction as he could no longer stand up anymore.
This battle was won by Nangong Huang!
“D*mn it!”
The Overlord Sage Tribe Leader was so angry that he punched the wall of the skybox.
After destroying more than half of the skybox’s wall, he then said with a very grim expression, “How can this be? Chang Yuan’s strength is second only to Chang Tian, so how can he be defeated so badly?”
“That Nangong Huang looked like he was fully aware of Chang Yuan’s techniques. What the f*ck is going on here?”
After all, the Overlord Sage Tribe’s various cultivation techniques were kept secret from the world, and the techniques that Chang Yuan cultivated were one of the most top-tiered Sage Techniques in the Overlord Sage Tribe. Even among the fellow sky-prides in that tribe, only a few knew it.
If that was the case, then how was Nangong Huang fully aware of all his opponent’s techniques and weaknesses?
“The Black Heaven Sect is just terrifyingly evil!”
The group of Sect Leaders from various orthodoxies could not help but grumble.
Having noticed how weird this battle seemed, they then recalled how Chu Kuangren had easily pointed out Li Yin’s weakness.
An extremely absurd idea immediately popped into their minds. Could Chu Kuangren see through their cultivation techniques and their weaknesses?
That ability was just abnormal!
Everyone shook their heads and tossed that crazy idea aside. However, they were even more cautious of Chu Kuangren after that.
The semifinal matches continued.
Since Chang Yuan was defeated once, the Overlord Sage Tribe would not be able to advance to the finals if they were to lose the second match. Hence, they immediately sent out Chang Tian, their strongest contestant.
Upon seeing Young Emperor Chang Tian entering the arena, a cold glint lit up in Lan Yu’s eyes as she stood beside Chu Kuangren. “Master, please put me in this match.”
“Alright.”
Chu Kuangren nodded.
As soon as Lan Yu leaped down from the skybox, her body radiated with a flash of white light and there was a magnificent silver armor on her.
An extremely cold Holy Radiant energy emerged and turned into an overbearing aura that attacked Chang Tian.
“Hmph, Young Emperor Lan Yu, I’ve been wanting to fight you as well!”
Chang Tian snorted as surges of purple palm qi and domineering Daoist Rhymes swirled around his body to defend himself against Lan Yu’s aura.
That was an extraordinary physique from the Overlord Sage Tribe, the Purple-Blooded Overlord Physique. It was one of the Supreme Daoist Physiques that was ranked top thirtieth among the Three-Thousand Physiques.
“Let’s fight!”
Without another word, Chang Tian immediately attacked with his full power!
Purple palm qi (TL note: sword qi “剑气” assumed to be a typo by author, since Chang Tian is not a sword cultivator and fights with his fists) gathered around his fists as a surge of immensely domineering Daoist Rhyme emanated. The moment he unleashed a punch, a purple fist sign materialized in the air and headed towards Lan Yu with immense power.
However, Lan Yu faced the incoming attack indifferently. All she did was tap her scepter lightly on the ground and a white barrier appeared.
