199: Chapter 199 The top ten in the competition are born

After days of fierce competition, the top ten powerhouses finally emerged.

They were Zuo Wentian and Zuo Qiqi from the Zuo Family of Four Seas City, and Li Sh兵 and Li Chaoqun from the Li Family of Four Seas City.

As the leading Families of the Four Seas Commerce League, both of these Families had Soul Transformation Cultivators overseeing them and monopolized most of the resources, so it was reasonable for them to Cultivate several prodigies.

The Chu Family from West Sea City also had two people on the list: Chu Qingluan and Liu Yiyi.

From North Sea City, there were Situ Qingqing from the Situ Family and Shen Suan, though strictly speaking, Shen Suan was the true dark horse. There was also Zhang Fei from East Sea City and Wang Fengtian from South Sea City.

At this moment, Li Lei Yun, Vice-Leader of the Sea Territory Commerce Alliance, the Vice League Master of the Four Seas Commerce League, stood up again and loudly declared:

"The top ten participants of this competition have been determined. You are all the future of the Four Seas Commerce League, and each of you will receive a Nascent Soul Pill as a reward!"

Upon hearing this reward, the Cultivators watching below couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, completely forgetting that a Soul Transformation Realm powerhouse was standing on the stage.

The reward was simply too generous; the Nascent Soul Pill held a fatal allure, especially for Golden Core cultivators.

A complex emotion arose in Wang Bin's heart, not because he was particularly envious of this Nascent Soul Pill.

It was just that his heart suddenly sank. At this moment, he finally saw the reality of the Four Seas Commerce League clearly.

The class solidification here was too severe, and the major Families' monopoly on Cultivation resources was simply excessive. Ordinary Cultivators like him had no chance of rising.

He used to hold a glimmer of hope for the Four Seas Commerce League, but this time, he had completely given up.

The strong would only grow stronger, and with the accumulation of time, their advantages would continuously expand.

Take, for example, the people who participated in this competition; they were all disciples of the major Families.

The only one who could be called a dark horse, Shen Suan, also came from a Nascent Soul Family.

Marginal figures like himself, if nothing unexpected happened, would probably only die of old age in the Golden Core Realm for their entire lives.

Fortunately, the Yao Race occupied half of this continent, and some Cultivators risked their lives to venture out, perhaps even obtaining a glimmer of Opportunity.

It seemed he had to firmly develop towards the sea. In the Four Seas Commerce League, there was simply no place for people like him to stand.

Li Lei Yun, Vice-Leader of the Sea Territory Commerce Alliance listened to the discussions below and didn't get angry.

After all, the goal of promoting the Four Seas Commerce League had been achieved, and these Nascent Soul Pills were originally provided by the major Families themselves, intended for their own disciples.

The only slight surprise was Shen Suan, but it was just one Nascent Soul Pill. He didn't need to ruin his reputation for such a small matter.

"Cough cough! Quiet! Next, we will proceed with the ranking battles. The rules are simple.

The top three will receive additional rewards!"

The subsequent development of the competition completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Except for Zhang Fei, Zuo Wentian, Li Sh兵, and Wang Fengtian, the other six people directly gave up the competition.

It was unclear whether they felt their strength was truly inferior, or if they wanted to preserve their trump cards to contend for "law fragments" in the Secret Realm.

After all, simply entering the top ten already granted them the qualification to enter the Secret Realm and contend for "law fragments."

"First battle: Zhang Fei of East Sea City against Zuo Wentian of Four Seas City."

As the referee gave the order, both of them flew into the arena.

Zuo Wentian remained calm. He had easily defeated Zhang Fei's younger brother, Zhang Lang, earlier and discovered that his Pure Yang Body had a strong suppressive effect on the Zhang Family's Blood Sea Scripture, which greatly boosted his confidence.

Although his cultivation was two minor Realms lower than Zhang Fei's, he still spoke up:

"Brother Zhang Fei, why don't you just surrender? After all, my Physique is too much of a counter to yours!"

Zhang Fei didn't reply, directly activated his Blood Shield, and a blood soul banner appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Zuo Wentian also became serious. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of Pure Yang Fire, forming two large white fireballs with a wave of his hand, and then fused them together.

The two enormous fireballs shot straight towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was not to be outdone. He waved the blood soul banner, and four Golden Core Realm demon souls flew out from it.

These demon souls let out sharp wails at Zuo Wentian from afar, and waves of Divine Sense power vibrated through the space.

The two Nascent Soul Realm referees immediately acted, blocking the aftermath spreading towards the spectator stands.

Even so, when Wang Bin heard the sharp sound, his Sea of Consciousness still experienced a slight tremor, and he became irritable.

Other Golden Core cultivators were also more or less affected.

Wang Bin suddenly gained a new insight at this moment: this was a combination of Divine Sense attack and sound wave attack! Why hadn't he thought of it before?

Sound could also be used as a means of attack, and he knew quite a bit of theoretical knowledge about sound!

Zuo Wentian bore the brunt. The armor on his body instantly formed a shield, blocking the impact of the sound. A light flashed on his chest, and a white light streaked across, resisting the Divine Sense attack.

The two massive fireballs he unleashed met Zhang Fei's Blood Shield like iron balls encountering ice and snow; the Blood Shield instantly melted.

Zhang Fei's expression changed slightly. Without further hesitation, he shouted again: "Blood Shield!"

"Mobilizing the power of heaven and earth! This is a technique of Nascent Soul Cultivators. Zhang Fei has actually already comprehended the power of heaven and earth!"

As someone exclaimed in surprise, everyone turned their gaze to Zhang Fei's newly formed Blood Shield.

Zuo Wentian's two large fireballs were blocked three meters away from Zhang Fei.

This new Blood Shield was formed by Zhang Fei mobilizing the power of heaven and earth and fusing it with his own Blood Shield.

Comprehending the power of heaven and earth was an important sign of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. It was unexpected that Zhang Fei, at only eighty years old, had already comprehended the power of heaven and earth.

Zuo Wentian's expression also changed. Although he still had trump cards he hadn't used, he knew in his heart that even if he used them, he likely wouldn't win.

His trump cards would most likely not be able to break through the opponent's Blood Shield. It was better to save them for contending for "law fragments" in the Secret Realm.

"I surrender!"

As Zuo Wentian's words fell, Zhang Fei waved his hand and put away the several Golden Core demon souls.

Wang Bin's gaze fell on the blood soul banner in Zhang Fei's hand again, thinking to himself, this is truly a good item.

He should also buy one; it could actually capture demon souls to enhance its power. He had killed a few Yao Beasts before, but he had nothing to store them in at the time, so their souls had dissipated into the air, which was truly a waste.

Moreover, this type of banner-like Magic Treasure seemed to be a growth-type Magic Treasure; one only needed to continuously absorb demon souls into it!

"Next, Li Sh兵 of Four Seas City will face Wang Fengtian of South Sea City!"

Li Sh兵 was only in the Golden Core Early Stage, while Wang Fengtian was already in the Golden Core Late Stage and possessed the Giant Ape Bloodline.

In the previous two battles, Wang Fengtian didn't even take out his Magic Treasure; he basically defeated an opponent with one punch.

Li Sh兵's expression was solemn. He knew that his Realm was low, and he primarily focused on attack, with relatively weak defense.

Fortunately, his Family had given him a trump card for self-defense.

As the referee announced the start, Wang Fengtian let out a low shout, and his figure instantly grew taller.

Then, he suddenly exerted force with his right foot, directly spanning a hundred meters, and his fist instantly arrived within a meter of Li Sh兵.

Li Sh兵 had no time to react. Fortunately, the bead on his chest formed a thin shield, which actually blocked this punch.

However, Li Sh兵 himself flew backward like a cannonball with a "whoosh."

Wang Fengtian instantly reappeared above Li Sh兵's head, directly punching him into the ground.

With a muffled "thud," the entire ground vibrated, and Wang Bin clearly felt it.

At this time, everyone had already flown into the air to watch the battle.

Wang Fengtian gave Li Sh兵 no chance to breathe, smashing down more than a dozen punches consecutively.

Li Lei Yun, Vice-Leader of the Sea Territory Commerce Alliance, in exasperation, had no choice but to shout for surrender.

Although the Li Family had given Li Sh兵 a top-grade defensive Magic Treasure that could instantly form a shield, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would have to attack several times to break it.

But encountering a Body Cultivator like Wang Fengtian, who didn't follow conventional methods, this Magic Treasure's effect was not significant.

At this moment, Li Sh兵 had been shaken to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices and had fallen unconscious. His exquisite sword art had no chance to be displayed.

This was Wang Bin's first time witnessing the true power of a Body Cultivator: fast speed, great strength, and high defense.

Once they got close, there was no chance to even cast a Spell.

This was still because Li Sh兵's Family was powerful and had profound foundations, giving him such a formidable defensive Magic Treasure.

If he had encountered Wang Fengtian, he would probably have been beaten to death in a few punches, and he didn't know how many punches the armor on his body could withstand.
