Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7681

Chapter 7596: The Third Round!

The total score combines individual and team scores; it represents not only individual ability but is also closely related to the survival rate of teammates.

After all, every teammate eliminated reduces the total score by one-fifth, making the survival rate extremely important.

Li Tianming thoughtfully said, “In the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, there are countless crises, opponents, and various dangers on the treasure hunt. Even if teammates are not weak, a strong team strategist is needed to command them. Therefore, those who can preserve the team’s numbers and find a large number of treasures are no ordinary people; it’s not just about combat strength.”

“You’re right. It is precisely these people who are both brave and resourceful that can be considered true talents. Fighting ability is certainly important, but it’s not the only criterion. This is the same whether it’s the Inner Frontier Franchise countries selecting people or ‘them’ selecting people.” Ji Xuanjian whispered in Li Tianming’s ear, slightly avoiding Wan Yao and the others.

“Understood.” Li Tianming nodded with a smile, then added, “But even if they are strong, I have no fear.”

“You really shouldn’t be too careless, be careful not to capsize in the gutter.” Ji Xuanjian said somewhat irritably, “You should know that even including me, we are only two slightly stronger fighters, while the others have an entire team that is not weak.”

“We’ll see when we try.” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Fine, I don’t care about you anymore, do whatever you want.” Ji Xuanjian sighed slightly.

After all, apart from the Republic of the Divine Heaven, many people in the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Battle only aimed to be selected by the Inner Frontier Member States.

The problem was that she was already a princess of a member state, so she didn’t need such an opportunity, and she didn’t really care about the results of the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Battle.

Although she said she didn’t care, since Ji Xuanjian had already brought up the third round, she decided to explain to Li Tianming.

She continued patiently, “Actually, those who can participate in the third round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle are already among the strongest geniuses from the outer regions. Of the 128 who successfully advanced, there shouldn’t be any purely outer-region individuals; almost all are from the inner regions. Someone like you is truly an anomaly!”

“Isn’t a miracle simply an inevitability with an extremely low probability? With so many talented disciples from the outer-region sects, and so many years of change, shouldn’t miracles have happened?” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Then isn’t it a miracle that I found you in that vast sea of people?” Ji Xuanjian’s eyes lit up.

“Nonsense! It’s clearly because my team was short-handed; I just happened to meet you,” Li Tianming laughed.

Ji Xuanjian was speechless for a moment. He wanted to fight, but wasn’t sure he could beat Li Tianming, so he could only sulk with his arms crossed.

Li Tianming continued leading his nine-person team forward.

In truth, his Emperor Points were now more than enough to advance from this round; continuing to search for opponents was merely to secure first place in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle.

After fully demonstrating his strength, Li Tianming’s victories over other teams became commonplace for outsiders.

After all, his ability to crush even the fourth-tier evolved princess Yin Yan was enough to prove his power!

With sufficient Emperor Points, Li Tianming no longer relied on Yin Chen’s information, roaming freely through the ruins and corners of the upper levels of the Inverted Tower.

He robbed treasures of any living person he encountered, regardless of strength!

While this process was slightly slower than Yin Chen’s guidance, it was sufficient for Li Tianming’s goals.

Most importantly, Yin Chen was no longer at risk of exposure.

Gradually, Li Tianming accumulated more and more treasures, and of course, he would share a portion with Ji Xuanjian.

Since Li Tianming could satisfy his own needs, these extra treasures, as a favor to Emperor Qianfeng, showed his attitude—it was a worthwhile deal!

“Little Li’s own strength is probably already close to dominating the entire Star Group. Now, with Ling’er’s power, we’re practically sweeping everything in our path. Who can stop us?”

Sui Shenyao said excitedly after Li Tianming wiped out a team.

“Our goal is no longer just to get results and rankings; we want to amaze the Martial Immortal Group with our performance,” Aurora said gently.

Because of this, Li Tianming crushed his opponents with every move!

Of course, he usually did it himself, only using Jiang Feiling’s power on a very rare occasion when he encountered a truly formidable opponent.

Having seen Li Tianming’s hair glowing with golden light twice, Ji Xuanjian was quite curious.

She grabbed Li Tianming’s arm, looked him up and down, and muttered, “What kind of ability is this? I’ve never heard of it before.”

“With so many races and bloodlines, I don’t even know which move belongs to which race. How am I supposed to explain it to you?” Li Tianming said, seemingly speechless.

Throughout the universe, countless races exist, not just the Star Race and the Primordial Race, but also some rarer races.

The Little Thief Clan is a prime example.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanjian, no longer curious, belatedly remarked, “That’s true. With your complex talent, I’d believe you even have bloodlines from extinct races passed down from you!”

“Heh, maybe,” Li Tianming said calmly.

He possessed many abilities, but he didn’t actually have that many racial bloodlines; these were abilities bestowed upon him by the Primordial Chaos Beast.

However, his bloodline might very well be extinct!

Time passed, and the second round of the Myriad Sects Emperor War, lasting a thousand years, quickly drew to a close.

Li Tianming turned and asked, “Everyone, how was my performance?”

“Average, but we’ll see,” Wu Huan replied calmly.

This surprised Li Tianming somewhat. He knew his performance against his opponents had been impressive, basically crushing them.

“It seems the assessment standards are higher than I expected,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

Soon, the second round of the millennium had completely passed…

Buzz—

buzz—

The nine people present, including the other participants still climbing the Inverted Tower, suddenly had their Qianfeng Rings emit a crimson light!

This light from each person’s Qianfeng Ring instantly enveloped them!

“Time… seems to have come?” Xiang Qin’s tone was filled with undisguised excitement.

“Brother Tianming helped us obtain so many treasures, this will definitely improve our sect’s ranking significantly, allowing us to secure more cultivation resources!” Huangfu Yu’s face beamed with joy.

“Thanks to Brother Tianming!” Wan Yao also exclaimed excitedly.

Although the four mysterious figures behind Li Tianming were not participating in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, they were each wearing a Qianfeng Ring for the convenience of returning to the ‘Star Ruins’.

And so, at this moment, nine red pillars of light shot into the sky!

Boom boom boom!!

Such scenes were playing out in every corner and area of the Upside-Down Tower.

Countless figures vanished from the Upside-Down Tower almost instantly through the Dao array within the Qianfeng Ring!

Ultimately, the countless red beams of light led to… the Star Ruins!
