Weapon Master Chapter 1617

Chapter 1617 - The Prince's Challenge
As the name implied, the Prince's Challenge Competition was a competition that only happened between princes.
Right now, Tang Huan, She Yuji, He Zang and the others had already become the new prince, while the original princes who were ranked 91 to 100, like Jiu Ling and Yin Mo, were already on the verge of being eliminated. If they still wished to obtain the throne of the prince, they would have no choice but to issue a challenge to those ranked 90 and above.
Every prince only had one chance to issue a challenge.
The winner can replace the loser, and the loser will be eliminated.
Of course, if new princes like Tang Huan and She Yuji were not satisfied with their current position, they could still issue challenges to the princes who were ranked higher.
A successful challenge could raise one's ranking. If one failed a challenge, they would be eliminated as well.
The princes ranked 90 and above could similarly challenge the princes ranked higher. If the challenge was successful, both parties' rankings would be exchanged. If the loser wished to advance to the next ranking, they would have to wait for the next "Royal Spirit Ceremony". If the challenge failed, he would be punished, and his ranking would drop by 10 places.
Therefore, in this "Royal Spirit Ceremony", not only was the competition for the prince selection fierce, but the competition for the prince's challenge was also equally fierce.
"This challenge shall begin with the prince who was previously last ranked!"
His gaze landed on the seat at the back of the stairs.
Seated there was a rank 17 undead, but it seemed to be lacking in confidence. However, no matter how little information there was, there was no way to avoid it.
Unless he wanted to voluntarily renounce the position of prince.
"Whoosh!"
With a slight movement of his body, that 17th step Death Spirit appeared in the middle of the plaza.
After bowing slightly to the two elders, he took a deep breath and said with a deep voice, "My challenge is the eighty-ninth prince!"
Hearing that, Tang Huan's gaze swept across them, and the corner of her mouth hooked into a smile.
It was indeed a wise decision for this hundred princes to challenge eighty-nine princes instead of one hundred and ninety.
The former had already reached the peak of the 17th step, while the latter's aura was slightly weaker, and he should have only recently advanced to the 17th step. However, the former was a dead spirit while the latter was a nether beast. Generally speaking, nether beasts with the same cultivation level were stronger than dead spirits.

Although the aura of the ninety-ninth prince was slightly weaker than that of the eighty-ninth prince, his true strength was probably above that of the eighty-ninth prince.
"Alright!" After being the first to be challenged, the expression on the face of the first person to be challenged naturally became ugly. With a cold snort, he jumped down from the stairs and landed on the plaza.
"Begin!"
With a wave of his hand, the battle between the two princes erupted.
Tang Huan and the other new princes, as well as those who were eliminated in the selection, all retreated to the side of the plaza to watch the battle. It was also a rank 17 undead, and after catching sight of the look in Hua Yu's eyes, she did not hesitate and immediately issued a challenge to her opponent. However, he didn't challenge the ninety prince, but chose the eighty-eighth prince instead.
The prince, who had started the challenge first, did indeed have a small advantage.
They could choose weaker princes as their target, while the remaining princes had less of a choice.
After the two princes chose an opponent who was ranked higher, the original ninety-eight princes finally challenged the ninety prince named Fu Lin. After that, the ninety-seventh prince challenged the eighty-seventh prince. After that, it was time for the ninety-six princes and nine spirits.
According to gender, the nine spirits should be called the ninety-six imperial daughters.
However, in the "Nether Death Realm", there were very few people who cared about gender. Most of the time, whether it was the elders or the other living beings, they would directly call the Nine Spirits the Ninety-sixth Prince.
The target of the Nine Spirits Challenge was the Eighty-sixth prince, Meng Yao, a peak undead spirit at the 17th step.
After the nine spirits came the dark candles. The 95 prince's expression turned extremely ugly. Although the 85 prince in front of Meng Yao was also a peak 17 undead, that guy was very powerful. It was said that a few months ago, he had defeated an expert of the 18th step.
But things had already gotten to this point, he could only challenge the 85th Prince, because the 84th Prince was actually a stage 18 dead spirit.
On the plaza, the great battle continued to erupt.
Tang Huan did not pay attention to the other battles, his gaze landing on the nine spirits and Meng Yao.
The current Nine Spirits did not return to her original form, she was still the same cute little girl. However, her attacks were extremely ferocious.
Streaks of colourful auras shot out from his fingers. They were incomparably gorgeous, but they possessed an extraordinary might. It was as if they could pierce through everything in the world. As her opponent, although Meng Yao was at the peak of the seventeenth step, he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Meng Yao was extremely anxious. While he kept shouting and fighting back with all of his strength, he still couldn't change the situation of this battle.
The nine spirits were currently only at the level of fourteen stage undead, but she had experienced nine rebirth, lived for countless of years, and now that she was back in the world she was born in, the power she could unleash was beyond imagination. Looking at the current situation, there was no suspense about the result of her battle with Meng Yao.
Tang Huan couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on her face. She was already completely relieved, and her gaze swept across the other areas on the plaza.
At this moment, there were ten battles going on at the same time.
The challengers in a few battles had already revealed their defeat, for example, the ninety-fifth prince, Yin Zhu. Under his opponent's ferocious attacks, he continuously retreated, and he was already in an extremely sorry state. He estimated that he would be completely defeated by the eighty-fifth prince within ten breaths of time at most.
"..."
"Haha, defeated, defeated! That Prince Yin Zhu is about to be defeated!"
"The Prince of Nine Spirits is only at the fourteenth step of cultivation, but his strength is actually so tyrannical. How could he gain the upper hand so quickly? His opponent is at the peak of the seventeenth step!"
"It seems that quite a few princes will succeed in this round of the challenge."
"..."
Around the plaza, all the other creatures were extremely excited. All sorts of sounds converged into victory as they shot into the sky. It was truly earth-shattering.
"Eighty-fifth prince Arc Pupil wins, original ninety-fifth prince has been eliminated!"
"Ninety prince of Floating Scale wins, the original ninety-eight princes …"
"..."
"The original ninety-sixth prince won the nine spirits and advanced to the eighty-sixth prince. The original eighty-sixth prince has been eliminated!"
Elder Hua Yu's earth-shaking voice echoed from time to time.
After several successive challengers were eliminated, Nine Spirits finally defeated Meng Yao, obtaining the first victory that belonged to the challenger. He replaced the original Eighty-sixth prince Meng Yao and became the new Eighty-sixth prince. The moment the news was announced, the crowd in the square immediately erupted with cheers.
