Chapter 2353: Ending Early
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The second round of qualifiers, two months later.
Nearly 720,000 people had gathered outside the black tower. Most of these people had been eliminated below the 1,000th floor, but some had been eliminated from several hundredth or even the 1,000th floor.
Most of these people who had been eliminated were sitting cross-legged outside the black tower. The moment they came out, they didn’t even have the time to return to their residences. This was because there were too many things in their minds that needed to be digested.
In the second round of qualifiers, there were too many things worth absorbing. Those who came out of the black tower later felt that as long as they absorbed this part of the experience, their strength might increase by at least 10%.
Of course, some people came out early or comprehended it fast enough, so they had finished their consolidation and review.!!
However, most of these people didn’t look quite good. This was because the number on their qualification tokens let them know clearly that they had been eliminated.
There were a total of 800,000 Sky Opening Realm cultivators, but they were ranked below 500,000th, so they must have been eliminated.
Someone sighed. “It’s said that someone was beaten out after reaching the 1,000th floor. Isn’t this round of qualifiers too difficult? It’s more than ten times harder than the first round of qualifiers.”
Someone said, “Hehe, many of the top 100,000 cultivators have been eliminated. It’s said that many of them have reached the 1,001st floor. Do you know what kind of abnormal opponent it is?”
“What is it?”
“Heh! It’s said that the opponents are 100 late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators with different Great Daos.”
“A hundred?”
“Are you kidding me? I can accept ten, but how can anyone fight 100? And are they ordinary late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators? Above the 500th floor, those late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators are basically good opponents. Above the 900th floor, they have probably embarked on the Star Path. 100, heh, I can be sure that I can’t last more than ten seconds.”
Someone said, “Ten seconds? I can’t even last five seconds.”
Someone sneered. “Just imagine what it will be like if a hundred different Great Daos are crushed on you. To be honest, you are lucky if you can last for three seconds. It has nothing to do with strength.”
But someone added, “Currently, most of the people who were in the top 100,000 are reviewing their battles in the tower. They must have a lot of gains. But I found out that fewer than ten people in the top 30,000 have come out. Do you know what this means?”
“Just ten people?”
Many people were shocked. They were not stupid. They didn’t come out, which meant that these people might have reached the thousandth floor or even passed it.
…
At this moment, Han Fei, who was surrounded by a group of people, put on a smile.
A hundred late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators were too many for him, but 33 were just right. These people couldn’t hurt him, and he wouldn’t feel tired.
With their power to temper his body and release energy, Han Fei’s Origin Star finally began to calm down and stopped shaking.
During this period, his Golden Jade Marrow increased by four drops.
It was definitely not a lot, but it could at least bring some growth to his strength. His Origin Star had finally regained peace, which made Han Fei take a long breath of relief. This meant that he could start to mold the ground veins.
Last time, he impulsively carried out the Origin Returning Technique, causing him to delay molding the ground veins. If it weren’t for that, he would have finished molding the ground veins.
After the golden fist mark swept across the 33 people.
On the next floor, Han Fei encountered a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator. Han Fei was not surprised. In the previous floor, it could be said that 90% of the people would be eliminated there.
And now, with the appearance of a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator, this meant that the difficulty level had increased again. Even the weakest peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator was not something ordinary late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators could resist.
Reaching the late-stage Star Transformation Realm could only be said to have completed the transformation and embarked on the Star Path.
However, peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators had even completed the Star Path. After taking this step, their Origin Stars were indestructible and could connect the power of multiple stars.
On the surface, their physiques soared, their soul power soared, their combat ability soared, and the Great Dao runes born from their Origin Stars soared.
No matter in which aspect, peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators could fundamentally crush late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators.
For example, if a Sky Opener transformed his Origin Sea into a star and gave birth to a Star Core, his basic strength would be 10 points, then the basic strength of a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator might be 20 points or even more.
However, even a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator with a combat power of only 20 couldn’t be compared to a few late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators with a basic strength of 10 points.
Han Fei was strong enough, right? But when he saved Feng Xingliu and Feng Qingcheng in the Sea of Chant, his strength could only barely contend with Black Shark. And how many abilities had Han Fei used? With the God’s Prayer Bead, the God Slaying Boxing Gloves, and the enhancement of the power of the Heavenly Dao, plus the enhancement of his Dharma Idol, he managed to narrowly defeat Black Shark.
But in fact, at that time, he mainly scared Black Shark away.
After leaving Tomorrow Camp, he killed a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator. At that time, his basic combat power had been greatly strengthened. With his full strength and the Void Stealing Technique, he only killed the original body of a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator who only had one third of his strength left.
If that person were him in his complete state, Han Fei was sure that it was impossible for him to kill him.
Now, Han Fei’s comprehensive strength had made a qualitative leap again. Only then was he sure that he could fight a normal peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator.
However, since this was a trial, Han Fei didn’t intend to use the Void Stealing Technique right away. With the help of the Void Stealing Technique, Han Fei felt that he might be able to reach first place.
However, this was only the second round of qualifiers. Ranking wasn’t very important.
Therefore, Han Fei was beaten for a full day before he had a chance to defeat this peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator who walked the Great Dao of speed.
However, Han Fei still felt a sense of accomplishment after defeating the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator, because he only used the power of the God’s Prayer Beads.
Han Fei didn’t know if it was because the first peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator he encountered was too weak. When he encountered the second peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator, the God’s Prayer Beads were completely useless. He was beaten up for three hours. Feeling that he was about to be defeated by the other party, Han Fei stole the other party’s combat consciousness, buying himself some buffer time.
On the third day, Han Fei was sure that he couldn’t defeat this peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator with his pure strength and the ten percent boost of the God’s Prayer Bead, so he used the God Slaying Boxing Gloves.
Finally, after piercing through this late-stage Star Transformation Realm with difficulty, Han Fei estimated that he should have no problem reaching the third round.
Han Fei naturally walked to the next floor. He didn’t stop to carry out the battle review. This was because this was a training of his basic strength. There was no need to review.
On the next floor, after a fierce battle, Han Fei found that this person was so strong that he was no match for him even with the God Slaying Boxing Gloves. Han Fei, who was not going to fight for the ranking, naturally gave up the battle.
For him, it was fine as long as he could enter the third round. After all, there were no rewards in the qualifiers. Besides, although he could use the power of the Great Dao, the power of time, the Dharma Idol World, the Void Stealing Technique, and many other techniques, he didn’t have to use them here. Instead, he felt that he had to go out quickly because he still had to mold the ground veins.
Buzz!
Outside, there were still nearly 80,000 people who hadn’t come out yet. Feng Yu, Feng Xingliu, Zhao Qinglong, Wang Beichen, Wushuang, and the others all hadn’t come out yet.
However, Han Fei suddenly appeared.
“Huh!”
“Why is he here?”
“This is a big shot who killed Yi Qianxing. Why is he out so early?”
“Shoot! Did he pass all the floors? After all, he once killed a peak-level Star Transformation Realm cultivator!”
“I don’t think so. Even Zhao Qinglong hasn’t passed all the floors, and neither has Feng Yu, who ranks first on the Heaven Roll. Even if he killed Yi Qianxing, it doesn’t make sense for him to pass all the floors so early!”
Immediately, many people looked at Han Fei in surprise.
Han Fei, on the other hand, came to the referee immediately. “Hello! Can I go back now?”
The referee seemed slightly surprised too. He looked at Han Fei’s wrist, and Han Fei looked down, only to find that the number 306 on his wrist had changed, replaced by 1986.
This meant that 1,986 people had gone further than him. However, in any case, he had made it into the third round.
The referee nodded slightly. “Yes, after this round of qualifiers is over, there will also be a three-day buffer time for the third round of qualifiers. We will inform you later. In addition, you don’t have to change your residence. That’s based on your initial ranking.”
Han Fei nodded. “Okay, thank you.”
