Chapter 1043: Easily Qualified

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The battles continued. Qin Wentian observed each one seriously. These people were all geniuses from the Southern Region, and it was very rare for him to be able to witness them in combat. By watching their battles, he could roughly deduce the strength of the geniuses from the Southern Region.

Qin Wentian discovered that the strength of these geniuses could be determined from the immortal foundation that they formed. For mortal-grade immortal foundation experts, their strength tended to be on the weaker side even if they were at the third tier of a mortal grade. And among these geniuses, the vast majority had a third-tier, mortal-grade immortal foundation.

Going up from there was the fourth-grade, king-tier immortal foundation. Qin Wentian could sense that quite a number of geniuses here established such a foundation. As for the fifth-tier emperor-grade, it was extremely rare to see one possessing such an immortal foundation among third-level immortals. Jiang Ziyu was too mysterious, Qin Wentian couldn’t tell for sure. But if there were any fifth-level emperor-grade immortal foundations here, Jiang Ziyu would definitely be among them.

In terms of the grade of one’s immortal foundation, Qin Wentian and his companions were clearly the highest. This indicated that their immortal path would be smoother than the others, and their combat prowess stronger.

“Which nine maidens do you think will be qualified to enter the ancestral lands?” At this moment, after two more rounds of combat, Nanfeng Yunxi transmitted her voice over to Qin Wentian, asking for his opinion. Right now, they already gained three victories. Nanfeng Yunxi won two while Qin Wentian won one.

“You, Nanfeng Aoxue, Nanfeng Qingruo, Nanfeng Shengge, Nanfeng Xihua, Nanfeng Yue, Nanfeng Yi, Nanfeng Ling, Nanfeng Qing.” Qin Wentian replied. “The others all have established a king-grade immortal foundation, their combat prowess would be stronger than the others. Although there were helpers who could stand equally against them, their own helpers are extremely powerful.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s beautiful eyes studied Qin Wentian as she smiled, “Your judgement is truly terrific. These nine maidens are the most popular ones out of the thirty-six. All their names were accurately pointed out by you, with no exception.”

“After your two rounds of combat, I can tell somewhat of the general strength of the participants here.” Qin Wentian smiled.

The battles continued and finally at this moment, another holy maiden selected Nanfeng Yunxi’s camp. A helper of that holy maiden stepped forth, he was at the second-level of immortal foundation and was extremely powerful.

Nanfeng Yunxi glanced at Qin Wentian. She and Qin Wentian had an agreement. If holy maidens were fighting, she would step out. If their helpers were fighting, Qin Wentian could decide who to send out to fight against these other helpers.

“Mengchen, go and have some fun.” Qin Wentian smiled when he saw how eager Jun Mengchen was.

“Okay.” With a flash, Jun Mengchen appeared directly on the arena. The second-level immortal-foundation expert glanced at Jun Mengchen as he furrowed his brows. He stated with some unhappiness, “You guys are sending a nameless first-level immortal to fight me? Are you looking down on me? Or could it be that he has also obtained the position of the top ranker in the City of Ancient Emperors before?”

Qin Wentian was also a first-level immortal but he was extremely famous, having killed descendants of immortal emperors before and was also the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. It was understandable how high his combat prowess was. But now, who was this young man? Most probably, this Jun Mengchen was decades younger than him. Wasn’t this an insult to him?

“Just fight if you want to fight. Why are you so naggy? Do you think you will win for sure?” Jun Mengchen was extremely unhappy. Was his opponent looking down on him?

That person flicked his sleeves, staring at Jun Mengchen as he spoke. “If I, Chou, can’t even defeat a nameless nobody at the first level of immortal foundation, what face do I have left to remain here as a helper for the holy maiden?”

“Stop bragging.” Jun Mengchen replied in anger. With a loud shout, an overwhelming aura erupted from him. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed. The space on the Phoenix Arena seemed to transform into another world. Jun Mengchen’s immortal foundation swept out with something akin to heavenly might, enveloping his opponent.

Jun Mengchen was clad in armor, exuding an aura of invincibility. His spirit and energy rose to the limits, transformed into an unparalleled battle intent. Emperor-king qi gushed forth in waves from him and with a wave of his hand, the energy of this world gathered within his fist. This, was the fist of a king, he was the king of chaos.

The expert surnamed Chou’s expression changed abruptly. He could feel the heavenly might from the world Jun Mengchen manifested. His immortal foundation vibrated intensely, as he called forth the limits of his strength. But despite so, he felt extremely stifled, as though under a great pressure. The flow of immortal energy within him was disrupted, not smooth at all. His cultivation level was higher than Jun Mengchen, yet his immortal foundation was under suppression. This was simply terrifying to hear.

Jun Mengchen gave a loud shout and stepped out, instantly appearing before his opponent. A punch ripped through space, law energy transformed into boundless fist light, filled with an ancient supreme might. The entire world was shuddering, the king fist of chaos blasted out and that expert had no way to evade. He could only hurriedly put up his defense, yet he discovered the king’s authority of Jun Mengchen could overrule everything in this world he created. Jun Mengchen’s power seem boundless.

Very swiftly, a deafening boom echoed and that expert was flung through the air, heavily injured.

“After Mengchen ascended to immortality, his immortal foundation is perfect. His rare physique underwent a transformation and grew stronger than ever.” Qin Wentian mused silently when he saw this scene. The eyes of others in the surroundings gleamed as they stared at Jun Mengchen.

This was an unknown nobody?

“Are you even qualified to talk to me like that?” Jun Mengchen glanced coldly at his injured opponent before walking down the arena.

From afar, elders from the Southern Phoenix Clan exchanged mutual glances as a bright light flickered in their eyes.

“Seems like the people invited by Nanfeng Yunxi aren’t good to antagonize.” The crowd silently mused. For people from Nanfeng Yunxi’s camp, it was probably for the best if they avoided them. Right now, Nanfeng Yunxi’s camp already had four complete victories. Nanfeng Yunxi would probably be one of the nine qualified holy maidens.

“Powerful.” Qin Wentian smiled at Jun Mengchen when he came down, praising him. Jun Mengchen laughed straightforwardly, “This fellow is simply too weak.”

That injured expert coughed out another mouthful of blood from anger when he heard those words. No matter what, he is a genius of the Southern Region; yet he was dissed like that by his opponent. The crowd soon discovered that after he returned to the side of his holy maiden, he spoke a few sentence before turning and directly departing the area. He said earlier that if he couldn’t defeat a nameless someone at the first-level, he wouldn’t have the face to remain here to assist the holy maiden who invited him here in battle. And true to his words, he really left.

The battles continued, the stronger camps gradually pulled apart in terms of their battle achievement records.

And as expected, the nine camps Qin Wentian predicted all had a higher winning rate than the rest. However, one of the holy maiden’s camp seemed to be struggling, their current ranking was in 10th place. The name of this holy maiden was none other than Nanfeng Qiu. From Qin Wentian’s perspective, this should be a holy maiden that has established a king-grade immortal foundation. Also, out of her three helpers, one of them was extremely powerful and has not lost a single round yet. His strength might be even higher than Nanfeng Qiu.

Nanfeng Qiu being able to rank in tenth place, had much to do with his efforts. At the very end, Nanfeng Qiu stopped sending the other two out, and only allowed herself and this helper to fight. But even so, when it was her turn to fight, she lost some battles.

This extremely powerful expert was named Du Han. According to Nanfeng Yunxi, he is the disciple of an immortal emperor but he has never admitted it. His master is said to be an unaffiliated immortal emperor roaming the realms and was extremely mysterious. There were even some rumors saying that Du Han was his son but Du Han has never mentioned anything like this before. Du Han roamed the Southern Region of the immortal realms and was pretty famous. After he met with Nanfeng Qiu, he quickly fell in love with her and has been pursuing her. If there are no unexpected accidents, Du Han had a high possibility of marrying into the Southern Phoenix Clan.

Qin Wentian stared at Du Han. Among the experts present today, Du Han could be considered one of the strongest. In fact, he was even stronger compared to a majority of the holy maidens. No wonder Nanfeng Yunxi would think that he would marry into their clan and become the husband of Nanfeng Qiu.

After a few more battles, there were some camps who already finished the thirty-six rounds. Many holy maidens knew that it was already hopeless for them but Nanfeng Qiu still had a chance. This was especially so when Du Han defeated the helpers of Nanfeng Qing in the last round of combat. One victory and one defeat, their battle achievements were tied.

For the last round of combat, two powerful camps selected two of the weaker holy maidens camps, and respectively secured their victory. The final ranking stayed unchanged.

All thirty six rounds of combat have ended. For the top ten camps, their battle achievements were extremely outstanding. Nanfeng Yunxi’s camp of first-level immortals obtained a perfect record, a complete victory. However, this couldn’t be considered anything as they didn’t clash a lot with the stronger camps. This was merely the preliminaries after all. The battles after entering the ancestral lands are the more important ones. For sure, they had to go all out in there.

“Nanfeng Qiu, Nanfeng Qing. Both of your battle achievement records are the same. In that case, each of you have to select a camp ranked above you to challenge. If one round of battle isn’t sufficient to determine, you will continue fighting until victory or defeat is determined.” The beautiful middle-aged woman spoke. Before this, Nanfeng Qiu and Nanfeng Qing’s camp has already fought each other before. Nanfeng Qiu was narrowly defeated by Nanfeng Qing but her helpers won against Nanfeng Qing’s helpers. Hence, there was no meaning for them to fight each other again or fight camps ranked lower than theirs

“Okay. I choose Nanfeng Ling’s camp. The person fighting will be me.” Nanfeng Qing spoke.

“In that case I will choose Nanfeng Yunxi’s camp. Du Han will represent me in this battle.” Nanfeng Qiu stated. Both of them made their choices.
