Chapter 1385: Chapter 1310: The Final Round of Selection for Divine People Hall Officially Begins! _2

Wang Ye, along with Luan Renjiao, Yu Junxiang, and Xu Xu, the three strongest opponents, were divided up!

Everyone was filled with envy.

“Just like you see, the four districts—east, south, west, north—will pair up for battles according to the combat chart, battling until a sole victor emerges, earning a spot in the Divine People Hall,” Yu Qing True Divine said with a sly smile.

“But, unlike previous years, this time the competition will adopt real-time rules.”

“All battles start at the same time!”

“Victors advance; losers are eliminated.”

...

“If both sides in a duel have finished their previous round, the next round begins immediately!”

“Until the contenders from each district are decided!”

Everyone gasped.

Pretty ruthless!

Continuous combat!

Just like the first two rounds, it felt a bit like simulated real combat.

Besides testing Combat Prowess, it also demanded a great deal of Endurance; the arrangement of the matches was equally crucial.

Wang Ye felt somewhat helpless.

All because of the Buddha-faced Divine Butterfly and the Demon Eye Blood Griffin!

If only he hadn’t fought them so hard, his Life Divine Jade wouldn’t have shattered.

Rapid recovery was crucial in this format.

Luckily, he was stuck in fourth place, effectively the number one seed of the North District. His luck was still holding.

After all, if he had been placed in the same district as Luan Renjiao and Yu Junxiang, there’d be basically no need to fight.

Huh?

One spot from each of the four districts—east, south, west, north—leaves one spot remaining?

Just as Wang Ye pondered this, Yu Qing True Divine’s voice echoed again, filling the square.

“Once the cultivators enter the top sixteen and are defeated, they’ll automatically enter the losers’ melee.”

“After the four district contests conclude, the final battle for the losers’ melee will commence.”

“The last cultivator standing from the twelve in the melee wins the fifth spot in the Divine People Hall!”

The scene stilled.

All the human prodigies struggled to digest Yu Qing True Divine’s words.

The rules were simple, yet the details were vast.

The existence of the fifth spot in the losers’ melee made the situation bewildering.

Especially for those human prodigies allocated to the east and south districts.

Even in their peak state, could they win against Luan Renjiao and Yu Junxiang?

Even with attrition tactics, was there a chance of winning?

Rather than competing with the two great kings, it was wiser to fight all out to reach the top sixteen and then quickly lose.

To enter the losers’ melee, save energy, and compete for the fifth spot.

It was undoubtedly a wiser decision.

“Shoo!” The Primitive Source Treasure appeared in the hand of Yu Qing True Divine.

Covering the entire sky, Primitive Energy burst forth, quickly delineating 36 clearly divided battle zones.

Completely transparent—no hiding.

All battles were clearly visible!

“The rules of the duel are simple—one-on-one, without any restrictions on spatial treasures.”

“Triggering the jade talisman protection counts as loss.”

Yu Qing True Divine’s voice fell.

Above the light screen, the countdown began.

In the void, a hundred jade talismans fell, each marked with a number as they rained down like meteors, precisely landing in each human prodigy’s hand.

Snap!

Wang Ye reached out, receiving the number 4 jade talisman.

Next to him, Gun Genius held number 8.

Just like on the battle chart.

The two exchanged gazes; Wang Ye’s brows furrowed, and he hesitated to speak.

“It’s okay,” Gun Genius gently began, “…as long as it’s not against you.”

“Should we aim for the losers’ district?” Wang Ye said.

Number 8, assigned to the East District!

Just like Luan Renjiao— one at the top of the East District, the other at the bottom!

If all went well, they would meet in the final battle!

Gun Genius had no chance of winning.

“I might not even make it to the losers’ district…” Gun Genius murmured quietly.

Wang Ye gave a grunt.

It seemed to be exactly that.

Gun Genius, ranked only 99th in the Talent Garden, had his high ranking from the first two rounds pulling him into the 8th seed.

The same went for Jing Yesi.

She was placed in the West District,

Right alongside Xingchen.

“Every four numbers in one district.” Wang Ye looked at the battle chart.

He was number 4, and although he avoided number 1—Luan Renjiao, and number 2—Yu Junxiang,

He couldn’t avoid number 5—Yu Hongni.

And there was also a very tricky number 9—

Red Beauty Meng Han!

“What a twisted fate,” Wang Ye lamented.

How had he become so entangled with Red Beauty Meng Han?

Running into her in both the first and second rounds was one thing, but to continue in the third?

Was this a bond of three lifetimes?

Four Little Kings, and I find myself facing two in the North District!

Most importantly, these two have separate battles!

This is the rhythm of taking flight!

“Red Beauty Meng Han is ranked on your side,” Gun Genius said softly.

“Because Yu Hongni is from the Jade Beauty Divine Race,” Wang Ye said.

Such fine ranking is actually crucial.

If Red Beauty Meng Han and Yu Hongni fought first, it would be very advantageous for me.

But Yu Hongni is from the Jade Beauty Divine Race, a noble identity.

In a negotiable space, as the supreme authority of the Human Great Clan Alliance, naturally, they would not arrange a devilish schedule for their talented newcomer.

“Do you have confidence?” Xingchen looked over.

“I have no problem,” Wang Ye said contentedly.

Not being grouped with Luan Renjiao and Yu Junxiang is already quite good.

Yu Hongni and Red Beauty Meng Han are old rivals, thoroughly familiar with each other, and they would only encounter each other after reaching the top 16.

By then, I could at least advance into the loser’s brawl circle.

“It’s you who has to face Xu Xu, the strongest of the Four Little Kings,” Wang Ye said.

“Only by fighting will we know who’s the strongest!” Xingchen said proudly, her eyes brimming with arrogance.

Obviously, she does not consider herself weaker than Xu Xu.

The number six seed spot is not bad.

Compared to the number seven seed Taiching Ninth Generation, it’s a much better tier.

After all, Taiching Ninth Generation is going to face Yu Junxiang, the second seed, where the odds are more unfavorable.

“The loser’s brawl circle is not easy to fight in either,” Wang Ye looked at the combat chart.

Once we enter the top 16, four will advance and twelve will enter the loser’s brawl circle.

In the East District, Luan Renjiao is unrivaled, with hardly any possibility of an upset.

The other competitors, knowingly keeping back, might very well reserve some strength to enter the loser’s brawl circle.

In the Southern District, either Yu Junxiang or Taiching Ninth Generation might face grim combat, with the loser entering the brawl circle, which would be equally fiercely fought.

In the West District, Xu Xu and Xingchen’s struggle means that neither loser should be underestimated.

In the North District, which is where I am.

Excluding myself, Yu Hongni and Red Beauty Meng Han will surely secure one spot.

Looking at it this way, the loser’s brawl circle alone will have at least two Little Kings and Xingchen, whose strength is not inferior to the Kings.

The difficulty level is essentially equivalent to dominating in the other four districts.

Moreover, unexpected events are likely to occur in the brawl.

Other human prodigies are also not to be underestimated; a dark horse might emerge from nowhere.

So, if one can dominate a single district and secure a spot, it’s best to avoid going into the loser’s brawl circle.

Wang Ye quickly made his decision.

The loser’s brawl circle could be seen as another opportunity.

But it should not be part of the standard plan.

Because of the many variables.

Solidly, the key is to perform well in the four duels in the North District.

From 100 to 64, the first round consists of 36 matches.

The top 28 ranked participants will have a bye in the first match.

“My next opponent is…” Wang Ye looked at the combat chart.

Yu Qing versus Xu Sheng.

One ranked 72 in the Talent Garden.

The other ranked 48.

There is a difference in strength.

“It’s most likely going to be Xu Sheng,” Wang Ye didn’t particularly care who his opponent was.

None of them were a match for him anyway.

Currently, he was very strong!

The Four Little Kings had never really crossed hands at their peak, unclear indeed.

But from a rough estimate, my current combat prowess could match the top ten ranks of the Talent Garden!

And, I’m in peak state!

“Let’s get started already,” Wang Ye was somewhat anticipating.

His gaze fell on Red Beauty Meng Han; her crystal-clear eyes also looked back, unabashedly displaying her fiery combat spirit.

It’s time to settle the old and new grievances she and Wang Ye had!

This time, she definitely would not lose!

Not far away, Yu Hongni wore a smile that was not quite a smile.

The pearl-adorned young girl, thinking of the last moments of the second round when Wang Ye and Xingchen joined forces to defeat her, losing the opportunity at the Mountain Top Layer, kept it in mind.

She was overjoyed to have the chance for revenge.

Being able to eliminate Wang Ye and Red Beauty Meng Han to secure a spot in the Divine People Hall, she was very pleased.

In the light curtain, the countdown continued.

Above the square, 36 spaces for a duel flickered with brilliant light.

An atmosphere of bloodline intensity was already kindling.

Each human prodigy, combat spirit high!

Waiting for the countdown to finally reach zero!

3.

1.

0!

The crowd erupted!

Endless combat spirit soared into the sky!

The last round of the Divine People Hall’s selection officially began!
