Miracle Throne
chapter-155

Nangong Yun was completely restrained by the «Wind and Cloud Sword Song» and everyone thought that the winner would be Feng Caidie.

But Nangong Yun was not willing to lose!

It was not time for her to lose yet!

When she had left South Sky City to come to Central State City, Chu Tian had given her a scroll for the «Great Nirvana Scripture». At that time, Nangong Yun had thought that the «Great Nirvana Scripture» would be a powerful cultivation technique like the «Starlight Immortal Body».

When Nangong Yun calmed her heart and read the «Great Nirvana Scripture», she realized her error.

This «Great Nirvana Scripture» was a very profound cultivation technique that was much stronger than the «Starlight Immortal Body», but it was also ten times more profound than the «Starlight Immortal Body». She had never heard of the resources needed to practice it and the cultivation technique was impossible to train in!

When Chu Tian had given this «Great Nirvana Scripture» to her, he did not expect Nangong Yun to cultivate it at all.

Chu Tian had not brought many top grade cultivation techniques with him from the future and a strong cultivation technique like the «Starlight Immortal Body» was only a body refining cultivation technique for Chu Tian. It was only suited for early or mid stages of cultivation and something like the «Great Nirvana Scripture» was something that should be practiced beyond that.

Chu Tian had several cultivation techniques like this, but they were very difficult to cultivate and had high requirements. The resources needed to practice these techniques were hard to find and he could not practice them at this stage at all.

The reason why Chu Tian had given the «Great Nirvana Scripture» to Nangong Yun was that he hoped she would read through this profound cultivation technique and build a foundation for the future. It would also help with the Nangong Family’s «Burning the Heaven Art» that she practiced.

Nangong Yun gave a loud roar as she punched out and destroyed several streaks of sword qi.

Feng Caidie pointed out with the Divine Wind Sword.

Seven-eight streaks of sword qi interweaved and surrounded Nangong Yun like a cage. When this cage contracted, she would be attacked by a strong pressure.

Peng!

The starlight glaze shattered!

The Starlight Immortal Body’s barrier was shattered and turned into countless glowing sparkles!

It broke! It finally broke! This incredibly strong defensive technique had finally been broken by Feng Caidie!

Feng Caidie’s attack frequency was too high, allowing her to attack continuously, which even the defense of the Starlight Immortal Body could not stop. From the beginning, the outcome had already been decided.

Feng Caidie had spent 60-70% of her spirit energy whereas Nangong Yun had only used around 30%. Feng Caidie had used a higher consumption in order to create an opportunity for her to win.

“Stop fighting!”

“You will get hurt!”

Feng Caidie knew that Nangong Yun had relations with Lu Ren and now that her defenses had been broken, Feng Caidie did not want to hurt Nangong Yun.

“Stop with that!”

“This old lady will not give up!”

How could Nangong Yun give up?

She condensed a large amount of spirit energy and prepared to go all out. When Feng Caidie saw this, she knew she had no other choice. If she allowed for any hesitation and allowed Nangong Yun to repair her Starlight Immortal Body barrier, she would not have enough spirit energy to fight a battle of attrition!

The Divine Wind Sword was raised.

The sword qi surrounding her body were like soldiers receiving orders as they started moving together and launching at Nangong Yun at the same time.

No matter how strong Nangong Yun’s spirit energy was, it was impossible for her to destroy all the sword qi coming at her.

Victory would be decided in an instant!

This was the most critical moment!

Nangong Yun gave a low roar and the figure of the Fire Phoenix burned like fire that had gasoline added in. It was enveloped in flames and the flames were actually a golden red colour, giving off a holy aura!

“This…..”

“What is happening?”

The Divine Wind Marquis, Mayor, and the heads of the Four Great Families all stood up in shook. Their eyes filled with shock because this was not the Nangong Family’s Burning the Heavens Art!

Nangong Yun had already disappeared and there was only a golden Fire Phoenix left in the air. The blue sword qi landed on the Fire Phoenix’s body, but it did not break it, rather it made it larger.

The wind was feeding the fire!

The Fire Phoenix released a long cry as it charged out at Feng Caidie!

Feng Caidie was stunned facing this kind of burning strength. She never would have thought that the trapped Nangong Yun would have this kind of strong counterattack!

Nangong Yun’s burning figure charged out of the Fire Phoenix and a fist launched out at Feng Caidie.

Before the fist could connect.

The wild energy ripped apart her body protecting spirit energy. Feng Caidie gave a groan and spat out a large mouthful of blood while being sent out of the stage.

She lost!

Feng Caidie had lost in the end!

Nangong Yun slowly fell to the ground and stood in the center of the stage. Her face was completely white. That one attack had used too much strength that she almost could not stand up anymore.

Feng Caidie slowly stood up. There were burn marks on her clothes and it seemed very serious, but she knew that Nangong Yun had held back at the end, which was why she hadn’t been injured.

She raised the Divine Wind Sword and returned it to its sheath. Then she cupped her hands at Nangong Yun, “Young miss Nangong is at a higher level, Caidie admits her loss!”

“Your luck is pretty good!” Nangong Yun had an ungrateful appearance, “This old lady did not have enough spirit energy, otherwise with a single fist, you would have been stuck in bed for at least half a year!”

This fellow really liked to pretend to be strong!

The mayor let out a sigh, “A pity, truly a pity. Caidie was too negligent, otherwise with her strength, she definitely would have become the champion.”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, it’s fine if she loses. Caidie couldn’t beat the Nangong Family’s little girl.” The Divine Wind Marquis gave two loud laughs, “As for becoming the champion…..is that possible? Even if she didn’t lose to the Nangong Family’s little girl, she still would not be an opponent for your son. It’s all the same, it’s all the same!”

The mayor’s eyes sparkled a few times and he smiled without saying anything.

This competition had been painstakingly prepared by him.

The champion would not be Luo Jinshi, Ye Hen, or Chu Wufeng. It wouldn’t even be Nangong Yun, rather it would be someone no one could think of.

[TL Note: You’re right, but not in the way you’re planning XD]

“Boss, how is it? I’m pretty strong, right!” Nangong Yun jumped off the stage and appeared in front of Chu Tian with an excited look on her face, “I feel like it’ll be really easy for me to defeat you now! Boss, don’t blame me for not giving you face, I will show a bit of mercy.”

Chu Tian looked at her with disdain, “You were just lucky enough to scratch some knowledge from the Great Nirvana Scripture and managed to fuse it with the Nangong Family’s Burning the Heaven Art, yet you still think you can defeat me?”

Nangong Yun snorted and said, “We’ll know when we fight in the finals!”

This really was a splendid fight.

However, after Feng Caidie and Nangong Yun’s showdown ended, there were no other great fights before the champions of the six different stages were decided.

The six people respectively were: Chu Wufeng, Luo Jinshi, Ye He, Nangong Yun, Lu Ren, and Feng Qingyun.

There were no doubts about the first four’s strength. However, both Feng Qingyun and Chu Tian did not encounter any good fights. Chu Tian did not pull his sword once on his whole route to the finals. Feng Qingyun had also used minimal strength against his enemies, so the depth of his strength was unknown.

First place would belong to one of these six people.

“The qualifiers are over!”

“Now the tournament will begin!”

“Will the six strongest contenders please come onto the stage!”

Under the audience’s gaze, the six stage champions walked into the arena as they prepared to begin the most important final round. Per the Great Games’ rules, these six now had the qualification to enter into the Central State Trials.

These six were not necessarily the top six yet.

According to the Great Game’s rules, after the tournament was the challenge tournament.

The qualifiers were over and six first rankers were picked for the six stages, now it was time for the rankings tournament.

The six of them would fight a large battle and would then be ranked according to their performances. After the ranking tournament, there would be the challenge round. If anyone was not satisfied with their rankings, they could challenge anyone of them and if they could win, they would be able to enter the top six.

It had always been one on one duels.

Now it would be the strongest decisive battle!

The ranking tournament would have all six of them fighting in a melee until they either fell off the stage or until they couldn’t fight anymore. They would be ranked in the end based on the performance they displayed!

On the stage.

The six of them had already taken their positions.

Chu Wufeng was a thin young man wearing the Chu Family’s uniform and carrying a treasured sword. He had an average appearance, but his eyes were incredibly sharp, just like a sharp treasured sword.

Luo Jinshi was tall and powerfully built with a thick beard that was just like a lion’s mane. Standing in his position on the stage with a dignified aura filling the air, he was just like a lion standing on the prairie.

Ye Hen had an average height and a restrained aura, but he also had cold eyes that gave off a sinister feel. It was like he was a dangerous demon wolf hiding in the jungle.

When the three of them walked onto the stage.

The crowd was stunned!

These three were the highest geniuses of Central State Academy!

Around 80-90% of the audience thought that the grand champion would be one of these three!

Of the other three, Nangong Yun was considered quite outstanding, but she had undergone an intense fight with Feng Caidie and it was unknown whether she had recovered or not.

As for Feng Qingyun and Lu Ren?

The crowd just shook their heads.

Feng Qingyun was surnamed Feng so he should be the same as Feng Caidie, a member of the Feng Family. Only, Feng Qingyun was an unknown name, so no one thought that he would be a strong character.

As for that fellow named Lu Ren?

This name was destined to be given to a passerby. Although he had a little skill, his performance was quite average. Being able to reach the final stage was probably just because of his luck.

Even if Feng Qingyun wasn’t famous, he was still at least from a famous family. Lu Ren was just a rogue cultivator, what skills could he have?

The one thing everyone was confused on was.

Why had Yun Xiao who had potential suddenly surrender to Lu Ren? Still, no matter what, no one had a favourable view of him!

The Great Games had not formally begun.

But the six of them studied each other.

Chu Wufeng coldly stared at Chu Tian, “You have potential, so you shouldn’t offend the Chu Family. I’ll give you one final chance, give up this competition and hire yourself to the Chu Family. Devote yourself to the Chu Family and I can ask the head to spare your life!”

“There are enough members of the Chu Family, so it doesn’t matter if you have an extra lackey.” Right at this moment, Luo Jinshi suddenly said, “You should hire yourself to the Luo Family and I’ll even personally instruct you. How about that?”

Ye Hen gave a cold snort and an invisible spiritual fluctuation slowly filled the air, “Other than devoting yourself to the Ye Family, you have no other choices! Otherwise, I will not let you step off this stage alive!”

Perhaps the normal people did not know Chu Tian.

But those of the great families had already investigated him.

Although they did not know Chu Tian’s real identity, but it was easy finding out that he had blocked one slash from Chu Xinghe without dying. There were even some people that knew he had relations with Qilin Hall.

This was a person that had value in winning over.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” Nangong Yun couldn’t help breaking out in laughter, “You really are popular! You even make me feel jealous!”

“There’s no other way. An outstanding and handsome person like me cannot hide my greatness!”

Chu Tian merrily laughed as he spoke.

The three young masters were enraged.

This damn fellow, not even putting their words into his eyes!

Right at this moment.

“Dang!”

A loud and clear bell sound rang out into the sky. The final competition was beginning!
