In the fourth competition, twenty geniuses faced off in pairs, ten were eliminated, and the remaining ten passed. Four people from the Ancient Emperor Palace passed, namely Lei Wenyuan, Su Huanyu, Zong Renfu and Jian Mo, and the other three were Mu Xue. , Zhong Xingba, and Gu Hong were all eliminated. Even so, the Ancient Emperor Palace still had the largest number of people who passed the third competition.
There was a duel between No. 1 and No. 20, and the winner was the proud dragon representing the Taiyin Palace. In the duel between No. 2 and No. 19, the winner was Gui Tathagata, a disciple of the Death Building. In the duel between No. 4 and No. 17, it was the disciple of Suiminglou who won. In the duel between No. 7 and No. 14, the disciple of Taiyin Palace won. In the duel between No. 9 and No. 12, Yin Qingyan from the Taiyin Palace won. In the showdown between No. 10 and No. 11, the winner was Nangong Tianjiao, who represented the Suiminglou.
The other six people who passed the third competition happened to be three from the Taiyin Palace and three from the Death Building. For now, the Ancient Emperor's Palace is slightly better, because the Ancient Emperor's Palace has one more young warrior who has passed the third competition than the Taiyin Palace and the Death Building. Fortunately, there is still a fourth match, and Taiyin Palace and Ancient Emperor Palace are not without a chance to come back.
"Recovered?"
After Gu Hong stepped off the battlefield, the ancient demon took out a pill that restored his origin and asked Gu Hong to take it. The ancient demon understood that if it were the last competition for the Heavenly Generals Ranking, with Gu Hong's strength, there would be no problem in becoming the top three. Gu Hong's defeat to Sword Demon was not Gu Hong's fault, but Sword Demon's ridiculous strength.
Speaking of geniuses, the ancient demon has seen many times, but he has never encountered a late-stage Heavenly General realm warrior who is as powerful as the sword demon. Even if the sword demon doesn't break through the realm, he will definitely have a place in the top five. When it comes to competing for the top three spots, it's a bit short. Su Huanyu, Gui Tulai, and Yin Qingyan, none of them are easy to mess with.
"Well, the elixir the elder gave me is very effective."
It can be seen that Gu Hong is not very interested and does not even have the energy to speak. It was normal for him to feel uncomfortable after losing to a warrior whose level was even lower than his own. The emperor's son is said to be invincible in the same realm. He is simply discrediting the emperor's son. If other emperor's sons were put in his position, they might go crazy.
"I'm not asking you whether your original power has been restored, do you understand?"
The ancient demon shook his head, and before Gu Hong could react, he continued, "You are the proud son of heaven, and you have had everything going smoothly since you were young. However, in martial arts, it is impossible to be without setbacks forever. Losing to the sword demon, for you, It’s not a bad thing. If you fall down, if you get up, you will definitely be stronger in the future. If you can’t get up, even if you are the emperor’s son, you will only be a waste in the future!”
One hundred victories, but to Gu Hong, none of the defeats are of any use. As the emperor's own son, Gu Hong must be proud. Even if he doesn't say it, he still looks down on most warriors in his heart. He firmly believed that he was invincible in the same realm. Even if Su Huanyu was the leader of the Nine Heavenly Generals, he felt that Su Huanyu was no match for him.
When fighting the sword demon, Gu Hong suppressed the realm from the beginning because he felt that the sword demon of the same realm was no match for him. Who knew that not only could he not be able to defeat a sword demon at the same level as him, he could not even defeat a sword demon at a lower level than him. If the sword demon had humiliated him after defeating him, maybe he would have left the ancient battlefield.
"I… "
Gu Hong didn't know what to say. It was one thing to understand what the ancient demon meant, but it was another thing to truly get out of the shadow of failure. In a short period of time, there will be no breakthrough in his realm. There is absolutely no possibility of avenging one's shame in the subsequent competition.
"If you lose again in the fourth game, you won't be among the top ten on that day."
He was eliminated in the third game, and there were four more games to come back. But if he was eliminated in the fourth game, he would never be able to reach the top ten in the ranking. The ancient demon's words finally aroused Gu Hong's fighting spirit. If he couldn't even compete for the top ten in the Heavenly Generals List, would he still have the nerve to return to the Ancient Emperor's Palace? Does he still have the nerve to see his father
Su Huanyu, Gui Rulai and Yin Qingyan have been famous for a long time. If Gu Hong can become the top three, that will be a good thing. If he does not become the top three, it is not completely unacceptable. But now Gu Hong has another opponent, that is, the Sword Demon, a warrior with a lower level than him and a higher strength than him.
In the fourth competition, there were ten people in total, divided into two groups of five people in each group. There are three Ancient Imperial Palaces, three Life-killing Towers, and four Taiyin Palaces. In the first group, two were from the Ancient Emperor's Palace, two were from the Taiyin Palace, one was from the Death Building, and the rest were from the second group.
Zhong Xingba and Gu Hong happened to be in the first group. They joined forces, and the other three were no match at all. Even if two peak Heavenly General Realm warriors from the Taiyin Palace and one peak Heavenly General Realm warrior from the Life-Destroying Building join forces, it will have no effect. Gu Hong lost to the Sword Demon, but he was simply invincible to the three peak Heavenly General Realm warriors on the battlefield.
If Zhong Xingba joins forces with the other three, they may be able to compete with Gu Hong. It's a pity that Zhong Xingba is a disciple of the Ancient Emperor's Palace after all. Even if he fails to pass the fourth competition, he must ensure that Gu Hong can participate in the fifth competition. Because Zhong Xingba knew in his heart that he was no match for Gu Hong in one-on-one situations.
After defeating two peak Heavenly General Realm warriors from the Taiyin Palace and a peak Heavenly General Realm warrior from the Death Building, Zhong Xingba took the initiative to admit defeat. There was no chance of winning anyway, and the end result of fighting to the end was that he suffered heavy injuries and Gu Hong was only slightly injured. Gu Hong passed the fourth competition, which was expected by many people. After all, his strength is there.
Among the five people in the second group, one was from the Ancient Emperor's Palace, two were from the Taiyin Palace, and two were from the Death Building. Mu Xue was unlucky, because the two peak Heavenly General Realm warriors from the Taiyin Palace and the two Taiyin Palace warriors from the Death Building had the same intention to eliminate Mu Xue first, and then they would decide the winner. .
Mu Xue and Zhong Xingba both lost their qualifications to compete for the top ten. Fortunately, Gu Hong passed the fourth competition, which means that there are five people in Gudi Palace who can compete for the top ten. If they all succeed, half of the top ten ancient imperial palaces will be on the list that day. The more beautiful the palaces are, the more beautiful they will be.
The final winner was a young female disciple from the Taiyin Palace. Together with the three in front, the Taiyin Palace had four people who could compete for the top ten. The worst thing right now is Suiminglou, because they only have three people who can compete for the top ten. After four consecutive competitions, the top twelve were finally selected for the battle for the Heavenly Generals Ranking.
However, the main purpose of the Heavenly General Ranking is to compete for the top ten, and only the first to tenth rankings will be listed in detail. The following rankings are not very important, just know a rough idea. There are still twelve people who have not been eliminated, and two more must be eliminated.
"How about the fifth competition?"
Some of the remaining twelve people are already not calm. There are rewards for the top ten on the general list. They definitely don’t want to be eliminated by others at the last moment. Of course, Su Huanyu, Yin Qingyan and Gui Tulai all looked indifferent. They are all aiming for the first place, and there is definitely no pressure at all to be in the top ten.
If the twelve people are divided into six groups, they will have to fight six times. However, the elders of the Taiyin Palace, the Ancient Emperor Palace and the Death Building had no intention of letting them draw lots. The competition for the top ten may be different from the previous ones. Now we are waiting for the elders of the three major forces to speak.
"The previous drawing of lots was based on luck. Next, we will not draw lots, and the initiative will be given to you."
The elders of Taiyin Palace spoke first, and the elders of the three emperor-level forces had already discussed what to do. If you draw lots, if you draw Ghost Tathagata, Yin Qingyan or Su Huanyu, you will be extremely unlucky. If Su Huanyu draws Ghost Tathagata, even the elders will have a headache. What will happen to the loser
"There are twelve of you now, so you can choose for yourself. If two people are eliminated, you can compete for the top ten."
The elder of the Death Building continued, and the remaining twelve young warriors understood what he meant. It only takes two duels to eliminate two people, and then the top ten will be left. Let them choose, just to choose the weakest. No one would foolishly challenge Su Huanyu or Gui Tulai. Wouldn't that be seeking defeat
"Su Huanyu, Gui Tulai, Yin Qingyan, and Sword Demon are not allowed to challenge others. If others want to challenge you, there is no problem."
The elders of the Ancient Emperor Palace added that any action taken by Su Huanyu, Gui Tulai and Yin Qingyan would be causing trouble, because it would be easy for them to eliminate others. After Sword Demon defeated Gu Hong, his status was obviously different from before. Even the elders of the three emperor-level forces placed him on the same level as Su Huanyu, Gui Tulai and Yin Qingyan.
Of course, the elders of the three emperor-level forces all felt that the sword demons in the late Tianjiang realm were no match for Ghost Tathagata, Su Huanyu and Yin Qingyan. However, no one can guarantee whether the sword demon will break through to the peak of the Heavenly General realm in the next competition. Besides, even the sword demons in the late stage of the Heavenly General Realm are not comparable to other peak Heavenly General Realm warriors, and Gu Hong is the best example.
Originally, the elders of the three emperor-level forces wanted to talk to Gu Hong, but it was a pity that Gu Hong was not as good as the Sword Demon. Furthermore, Gu Hong came from the fourth competition and could not be on an equal footing with Yin Qingyan, Gui Tulai and Su Huanyu. Anyway, if Gu Hong challenges other warriors, there shouldn't be any surprises.
The three peak Heavenly General Realm warriors from the Taiyin Palace, the two peak Heavenly General Realm warriors from the Life-Destroying Building, and Zong Renfu and Lei Wenyuan from the Ancient Emperor Palace are the protagonists of the fifth competition. Su Huanyu, Yin Qingyan, Gui Tulai and Jian Mo are not allowed to challenge them, and they will not overestimate their capabilities.
The ones who will really be eliminated are two of the seven of them. Zong Renfu and Lei Wenyuan didn't give others the impression that they were very strong, so Nangong Tianjiao prepared to deal with Lei Wenyuan. There are only two duels in the fifth-level competition. As long as Nangong Tianjiao wins one, he will be in the top ten, and no one else can challenge him again.
Among the twelve people, the most came from the Ancient Imperial Palace. Of course, Nangong Tianjiao was right to choose the Ancient Imperial Palace. Zongren Mansion said that they were all disciples of the Ancient Imperial Palace, but Lei Wenyuan was not. It is completely understandable that Nangong Tianjiao chose Lei Wenyuan.
