Complete Martial Arts Attributes Chapter 1493

1493 Let’s Be Like Normal People!
Many names were displayed on the ten stone plates floating in the air.
Some names were ordinary. They remained inconspicuous among the endless listing, but some shone like the brightest stars in the universe.
Those names included the Crown Prince, Ling Yangxu, Leng Qianxue, Gaunt, Berkshire, Strachey, Ji Haochen, and so on
However, the most outstanding was definitely Wang Teng.
!!
He took the top positions of five zones. It was insane.
Many felt that this would be a record no one could ever break in the future. Wang Teng had left his mark on history.
“The top ten thousand candidates in the ten forbidden zones will move to the next stage: the arena battle!
“There are three rounds in the arena battle. The top ten thousand will proceed to the second round, while the top thousand from the second round will proceed to the third and final round.
“The current top ten in the forbidden zones will get a bye, and be directly counted in the top thousand.
“The third round will be the chance to fight to enter the top hundred, or the top ten!
“The second round will start ten days from now!
“Please make the necessary preparations!”
The voice echoed in space, resounding in the candidates’ ears.
Everyone regained their senses, at last realizing that the first round was over. The ranking was final.
This meant that there were no errors in Wang Teng’s ranking, and even the Seven Stellar Academies had acknowledged this.
“The first elimination round has officially ended. What a brilliant display!
“I feel relieved for some reason. Weak even.”
“This has been the most exciting League of Talents’ elimination round ever.”
“How many leagues have you watched?”
“One!”
“I thought you had watched more of them. Who gave you the face to boast like this?”
“Hahaha, anyone can boast. Me included.”
Many heaved sighs of relief after the round ended. They felt as if a rock weighing down their hearts had been removed.
There were still ten days for cultivation and recovery, but the rules stated that the participants of the next round were not allowed to leave the waiting area.
This was to ensure fairness!
Many warriors had suffered injuries in the first round, and ten days would be enough for them to recover. However, they wouldn’t be allowed to use any external methods or objects to get back in shape. They could only depend on themselves.
No one could ensure this would be so if they left the waiting area.
That was especially so for warriors with powerful backgrounds. They had too many quick-recovery methods, which would be unfair to those without backers.
That was the reason why the rule had been instated. After all, restoration was also a metric to determine the strength of a martial warrior.
Meanwhilethe eliminated participants felt depressed as they were led away by the staff.
Those who didn’t enter the top ten thousand had no fate to enter the next round. The League of Talents’ ride had ended right there.
Soon, the remaining ten thousand candidates were gathered in Ring 1.
While everyone’s eyes were on him, Wang Teng found an empty spot and again took out his chair and parasol. Just like in the beginning, he sat down and rested while enjoying drinks and fruits.
That was allowed. He wasn’t breaking any rules.
He saw this as the best way to rest.
Besides, he wasn’t injured and his health was in top shape; he didn’t need to cultivate like the others to recover.
Everyone:
Although many were familiar with his antics, they were still frustrated when they saw what he was doing.
Is he even here to compete?
Can’t he show some respect to the others?
Doesn’t he know that they’re hurt?
The participants felt insulted and were bashing him in their minds.
Everyone felt tense; he was the sole participant who seemed relaxed, still enjoying himself. Who could even tolerate this?
However, the young hero didn’t care about their opinions. Those resentful eyes didn’t affect him in the slightest. He was used to it.
As soon as he sat downSong Yicheng, Hong Jinghou, Lu Jing, and several talents from the military gathered over.
“Hey, everyone’s still here.” Wang Teng’s eyes lit up when he saw them arrive.
Song Yicheng and the others frowned.
What do you mean by still here?
That doesn’t sound pleasant.
“Can’t you be nicer to us?” Lu Jing sat down angrily, naturally grabbing a white fruit and gnawing at it; the juice was overflowing, with a strong fragrance wafting out. “This is so delicious. I almost couldn’t make it; now I know how enjoyable it is to eat.”
“Not as much as you,” she said, looking at the young fellow as if she were looking at a monster.
Song Yicheng, Hong Jinghou and the others also sat down around Wang Teng and looked at their ‘host’.
They were still handling their disbelief.
No wonder he was waiting till the end when the competition started. He was keeping his big moves secret.
How confident was he to send his clones into the other forbidden zones. It was crazy to even think about it.
If it were any of them, they wouldn’t have made such a decision. They wouldn’t have even dared to think about it.
Even if they knew how to use clones, they would have sent them all to the same forbidden zone.
In fact, clones weren’t suitable for the elimination battle, at all.
Clones would have limited capabilities, and would definitely be inferior in power when compared to the main body.
The more clones, the weaker they would be, and the strength of the main body would also weaken.
That was the main clone-usage principle!
This made them impractical for the elimination battle.
However, Wang Teng had smashed all logic. He and his four clones nabbed first place in their respective forbidden zones.
It was unreal!
There’s only one explanation: Wang Teng is a monster!
Wang Teng laughed and changed the topic. “How’s your rankings?”
“I got 16th in Zone 1!” Song Yicheng responded.
“I’m on the 20th!” Lu Jing said, a bit depressed. “It would have been higher if I hadn’t met three mid-tier imperial star beasts, getting injured in the end.”
“I’m a little lower. Rank 25.” Hong Jinghou shook his head and smiled.
“Your rankings aren’t bad,” Wang Teng said in surprise.
Everyone was silent for a while, giving their leader a strange look. Lu Jing said, “Why do I feel like you’re showing off?”
“No, I’m definitely not.” Wang Teng was at a loss.
No one believed his sincere words, taking it as him boasting. Am I someone like that?
He was indeed surprised. The candidates from the military weren’t at all weak and did well in the rankings.
They actually got those rankings in Zone 1. Had they tried their luck elsewhere, they could have been in the top ten!
“We underestimated the other warriors. We thought we could get a high ranking with our strength, even if we entered Zone 1. It was a surprise to find they were so terrifying.” Song Yicheng smiled wryly.
“That’s right. There were talents from the eight dukedoms and the major force; not one of them was easy to deal with. I used to be a talent from an unknown race. I could kill two mid-tier imperial beasts, but I didn’t have any reputation before.” Lu Jing shook her head.
“It’s good to have many powerful competitors.” Wang Teng’s eyes lit up.
Everyone was speechless.
They were lamenting about the league’s difficulty, but the guy only seemed to be excited about it.
Could this be the difference between us and peerless talent?
Do we have to be as abnormal as Wang Teng to have such abnormal power?
Ugh, thinking about it gave them the chills!
It was horrifying!
Let’s just be normal people.
Wang Teng didn’t know what the others were thinking. The reason why he was so excited was the prospect of having many attributes to grab in the next round.
While everyone was resting the Virtual Universe Corporation remained active.
They produced some wonderful highlights of the elimination battle and were busy publicizing them.
The talents in the League of Talents were rare; their techniques and battles would attract everyone’s attention.
For instance, Leng Qianxue’s battle. Being a goddess-level figure, she had indeed attracted a lot of attention. Her fighting style and posture exuded such beauty that made many of the male warriors go crazy when they saw her.
Gaunt was another example; scenes of him hunting star beasts was also worthy of attention. Many people were intrigued about warriors that used the poison element, and Gaunt was the perfect one to learn from.
Berkshire’s fighting style was rough and direct, but it was exciting to watch, making it a good selling point.
There was also Ling Yangxu, a rare lightning-element warrior. His battles were always accompanied by majestic lightning bolts; adding that handsome face of his, many female warriors would be fascinated by him.
There were also Yuan Hong, Strachey, Ji Haochen, Jin Tiankuang, the Third and Second princes. All of them were powerful candidates who couldn’t be ignored; every single one of them drew lots of attention.
Of course, the most popular were Wang Teng and the Crown Prince. The former’s battles in five different zones were eye-catching. Besides, he was able to enter the rankings of all five, which was a great selling point.
The scenes of the young hero killing the Great Lightning Monster and the Oceanic Unicorn Whale were highly entertaining.
Finally, there was the scene of Wang Teng and the Crown Prince battling it out against the endless waves of Giant Volcanic Jellyfish. Two unparalleled talents fighting side by side, something rarely seen in the first round. It was impressive.
This also counted as a preview of sorts for the clash between the two outstanding talents in the next round of the competition!
Wang Teng won the first round by 560 points. It wasn’t a clear gap, and there was even a bit of luck involved; it was impossible to judge who was the better one.
The following round would be even more interesting. Many were looking forward to the two candidates clashing. The final decision will be made by then!
The Virtual Universe Corporation distributed the news bits and their popularity exploded. Many people saw them and paid more attention to the competition.
