Chapter 291
After three rounds of competition, there were less than a hundred contestants left who were qualified to continue.
Those who could reach this point were already the top 100 experts in the country.
One more point in the fourth round, and they would be in the top 50.
There were fewer and fewer people on the field, and more and more onlookers outside the field.
Lu Sheng patiently fought one match after another.
He could crush Masters like he was crushing chickens. These contestants whose strength was generally below Level 6 couldn’t even warm him up.
Those amazing and exciting matches in the eyes of the onlookers were no different from children playing in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
Lu Sheng only needed one move to defeat his opponent. He would never use a second move.
No one needed him to use a second move at all.
Basically, all of his matches would end in less than a minute.
This minute even included the introduction of the contestants, the preparation of the referee, the official announcement of the start of the match, and so on.
Lu Sheng thought it was normal.
But in the eyes of the onlookers, it was a different feeling.
“This Lu Sheng from the Seventh Sage Martial University is a bit strong …”
A middle-aged man wearing a martial arts suit with the words “Sea Dragon Martial Arts Academy” sitting in the spectator area said to a young man with a crew cut and a calm aura. “Even you, Jingtong, who was in the top 20 last year, wouldn’t last one move against him. If you fight him, your chances of winning are not high.”
The crew cut young man was silent for a moment, then slowly grabbed the long saber beside him and whispered, “I’ll try my best. If I can’t …” The crew cut young man paused and said, “I’ll use that move.”
The middle-aged man nodded. “Okay. Although that move was tailor-made for you by your master to deal with the Extreme Dao Academy’s Twins and Transcendence Dao Academy’s seedling. But the strength that Lu Sheng has shown so far is already at the level of those Twins. It’s not a loss to use it on him! You still have a chance to reach the top four.”
The crew cut young man didn’t speak, just silently wiped the long saber in his hand.
…
“He’s something.”
In the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s side, Lian Jibei, who was surrounded by a group of disciples, looked in Lu Sheng’s direction and narrowed his eyes slightly.
“But this is good. Transcendence Dao Martial Arts Academy only has one Zhang Jue, so the pressure on you this time is a bit small. Adding Lu Sheng to the mix would be just right. This kid is a good whetstone. Maybe you can use him to become a Master faster.”
Next to him, the duo’s eyes wandered back and forth between Lu Sheng and the cute girl from the Transcendence Dao Martial Arts Academy. Cruel smiles appeared on their faces, and sparks of fighting spirit burst out from their eyes.
“Very scary …”
The cute girl with short hair stared fixedly at Lu Sheng’s position, her pretty face tense.
The long-haired man next to him was astonished. “That can’t be. Lu Sheng is strong, but at best he’s on the same level as the Twins. Are you not confident?”
The cute girl shook her head, not knowing what to say.
The world in her eyes was different from that of ordinary people.
In her eyes, the sun had yet to set.
However, more than half of the sky above the huge Martial Arts Square was already covered by the thick black fog.
The ink-like mist was like smoke, but also like fire.
The mountain wind could not blow it away, and the sun could not penetrate it.
They transformed into all kinds of terrifying shapes in midair, as if a shadow had shrouded half the field.
And the source of all this black fog …
It all came from the handsome young man sitting quietly on the bench in the distance, holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand.
Although the young man’s face was calm, Zhang Jue could feel that …
There was something extremely terrifying hidden in this young man’s body.
So far, that thing had not awakened.
God knows what kind of great terror would break free from the darkness when the black fog completely covered the sky.
“I hope I can meet him at the end …”
The cute girl let out a long sigh and turned her face away, not daring to look again. Then she silently added in her heart.
“In that case, taking the initiative to admit defeat won’t be too embarrassing …”
…
“The seventh round of the drawing of lots begins!”
Following the announcement of the Martial Arts Association, the crowd in the square became restless.
There were only a dozen people left in the seventh round.
Those who could win this round would be the top ten in the country.
In addition to the generous rewards, it also represented fame and honor …
To the spectators, the next match was the highlight of the show, and it was going to be particularly exciting.
Because those who were able to make it to this round were all truly outstanding young martial artists.
Lu Sheng was still expressionless.
He simply glanced at the Seven Sage Universities.
Apart from him, only Wen Jingyan from the First Sage Martial University and the third Sage Martial University student who was in the top five on the Seven Sages Ranking had made it to the seventh round.
The second on the Seven Sages Ranking, Bai Hengchuan, was unlucky. He encountered one of the Extreme Dao’s Twins in the last round and was eliminated early on.
The drawing of lots for the dozen people soon ended.
Lu Sheng glanced at his opponent.
“Wang Xin, disciple of the Sea Dragon Martial Arts School’s Grandmaster …”
Lu Sheng’s spiritual power caught some people’s discussion in the crowd. He was surprised to learn that the other party had also graduated from the one of the Seven Sage Universities.
Although he was not his direct senior, he could be considered a fellow disciple.
“Should I be a little gentler later?”
Lu Sheng thought to himself as he walked onto the stage.
“Demon King Lu Sheng of the Seventh Sage Martial University …”
Once they heard this news, the disciples of the Sea Dragon Martial Arts Academy all had ugly expressions.
Judging from Lu Sheng’s performance in the previous rounds, the title of Demon King was well deserved.
Many people had already listed him as an expert who surpassed the talent from the Transcendent Dao Academy and on par with the Extreme Dao Twins.
Although Wang Xin was strong, his strength and reputation were still a little lacking. He had always been in the second tier.
Now that he had encountered Lu Sheng, the situation immediately became not optimistic.
Wang Xin, the young man with the buzz cut, looked calm. He grabbed his long saber and stood up from his seat.
“Fame is earned through fighting. Without fighting, who knows who’s stronger and who’s weaker?”
The Grandmaster leading the team of the Sea Dragon Martial Arts School looked impressed. He nodded and said, “Martial Arts Competition requires such determination. Go, do your best.”
“Okay.”
