Chapter 912: Chapter 913: Do You Know the Feeling of Bullying the Weak?
"Silence!" An elder in golden robes spoke; "I am the Grand Elder of Dragon Island, and will serve as the chief arbiter of this Dragon Clan Competition!"
The scene fell completely silent!
Clearing his throat, the Grand Elder began; "As per past traditions of the Dragon Clan Competition, the tournament will span three days. Currently, we have counted a total of 1,008 participants! Some are dragons, some are dragonkin, others are sea serpents, and there are even competitors from other sea tribes! All contestants can fight to their hearts’ content—life and death are left to fate, with no rules whatsoever!"
*Hiss!*
Many first-time participants were utterly shocked!
No rules, life and death not accounted for!
Truly terrifying!
After a brief pause, the Grand Elder continued; "Anyone who places within the top 100 of this Dragon Island Competition will receive a reward of 100,000 Spirit Crystals and ten bottles of grade-five elixirs!"
"Anyone who places within the top 50 will receive 200,000 Spirit Crystals and twenty bottles of grade-five elixirs!"
"Anyone who places within the top 20 will receive 300,000 Spirit Crystals and thirty bottles of grade-five elixirs!"
"Anyone who places within the top 10 will receive 500,000 Spirit Crystals and one bottle of grade-six elixir!"
"The top three will receive 1,000,000 Spirit Crystals and five bottles of grade-six elixirs!"
When the Grand Elder finished speaking, the crowd erupted in fervor!
"Damn, the top three will get a million Spirit Crystals and grade-six elixirs!"
"The Dragon Clan is so generous!"
"Indeed!"
The Grand Elder smiled faintly and continued; "The champion will receive a reward of five million Spirit Crystals, one bottle of grade-seven elixir, and the privilege of using the Blood Dragon Crystal for three days!"
*Boom!*
The entire arena exploded!
"Damn, five million Spirit Crystals is outrageous, not to mention the grade-seven elixir!"
"And the Blood Dragon Crystal—that’s the ultimate treasure of Dragon Island, only accessible to late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators!"
The Grand Elder added with a smile; "In addition to these rewards, the champion will receive the title of Dragon Island’s strongest warrior and the chance to marry the Dragon King’s daughter!"
Dead silence!
The entire venue seemed to be swallowed by an abyss of quiet!
In the next moment, dozens of people simultaneously opened their mouths and screamed!
"Damn, marry the Dragon King’s daughter!"
"Becoming the Dragon King’s son-in-law is more valuable than five million Spirit Crystals or grade-seven elixirs!"
"This is insanity!"
Every contestant present, dragons and sea tribes alike, were imagining themselves as the Dragon King’s son-in-law, with a beautiful bride, rising to the pinnacle of their lives!
After the Grand Elder finished his introduction, he respectfully turned to the Dragon King. "Dragon King, please give the signal!"
With his hands clasped behind his back, the Dragon King solemnly declared; "Let the competition begin!"
"Understood!" The Grand Elder nodded and immediately waved his hand; "Activate the arenas!"
*Boom!*
*Rumble!*
Dozens of arenas appeared, each spanning over a kilometer and filled with seawater!
Many of the competitors in the Dragon Clan Competition hailed from sea tribes, making underwater combat their forte and ensuring maximum performance for their battles!
"These arenas are quite intriguing!" Ye Wudao remarked.
"True, humans don’t fare well in underwater combat!" Long Mie blurted nonchalantly before catching Ye Wudao’s calm smile and hastily correcting himself; "But you’re no ordinary human, Ye!"
"Heh." Ye Wudao chuckled softly.
"Participant 237, Black Rock, versus 784, Flower Snake!"
"Participant 128, Water Bear, versus 367, Sea Horse!"
"Participant 73, Long Hai, versus 887, Long Mie!"
Hearing his name called, Long Mie grinned; "Ye, it’s my turn!"
"Mm." Ye Wudao gave a slight nod.
...
As the referee called out names, dozens of contestants stepped onto the platforms, capturing the full attention of the audience!
"Activate the arenas!"
Nine matchups passed uneventfully, but the final pairing drew widespread attention even before it began!
"It’s Long Hai, a top-100-ranked Dragon Clan prodigy!"
"Rumor has it that Long Hai is already a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator!"
"His opponent, someone named Long Mie, is in for a rough time!" The crowd speculated.
Long Hai spoke with confidence; "Long Hai, mid-stage Spirit Transformation, please guide me!"
Long Mie crossed his arms and casually replied; "Long Mie, early-stage Unity Realm Stage, please guide me!"
*Boom!*
When Long Mie uttered those words, Long Hai’s expression froze as if struck by lightning, his face going pale!
"Damn, Unity Realm Stage cultivator!"
Shock rippled through the crowd!
"The first matchup already features a Unity Realm cultivator!"
"This guy is surely a top-10 prodigy!"
"Unbelievable!"
The confident smile on Long Hai’s face vanished instantly. His feet retreated instinctively as he laughed awkwardly; "Senior, I... I yield!"
Predictably, this battle lasted less than a second as the referee promptly declared Long Mie the victor!
"Participant 887, Long Mie, wins!"
Long Mie crossed his arms and leisurely stepped off the platform!
Many seed contestants from Dragon Island eyed Long Mie with wariness.
"We must be cautious with this guy!"
"Early Unity Realm—he’s a sure bet for the top ten!"
"Congratulations, Long Mie!" Ye Wudao joked with a grin.
"Oh, come on, Ye. This was too dull!" Long Mie shrugged.
There’s a saying:
I haven’t even tried, yet you’ve already fallen!
Long Mie merely stood on the platform, and his opponent surrendered without a fight!
Minutes turned to hours.
Ye Wudao meditated with closed eyes, only to hear his name suddenly called.
"Participant 138, Mad Shark, versus 888, Wudao!"
Before the words settled, a domineering voice echoed through the venue; "Haha, finally it’s my turn!"
A burly man in a brown robe rose to his feet. His skin was dark, his frame imposing, and his aura brimming with ferocity as he wielded a Shark Tooth Knife!
"It’s Mad Shark, a prodigy of the Shark Clan!"
"This man is rumored to be late-stage Spirit Transformation, participating for the third time in the Dragon Clan Competition! Ruthless and brutal in combat, his opponents either die or end up crippled!"
"He’s absolutely destined for the top 100!"
Mad Shark swaggered to the water-filled arena and boasted; "Where’s my opponent? Too scared to show up, perhaps? Might as well surrender and save me the hassle!"
Ye Wudao stepped onto the water.
"So young!"
"He’s probably the youngest competitor in this Dragon Clan Competition!" The audience was astonished.
Mad Shark used his towering build to belittle Ye Wudao, asking; "What cultivation level are you at, pretty boy?"
Ye Wudao smiled faintly; "Early-stage Spirit Transformation."
"Haha! You’re merely early-stage Spirit Transformation?" Mad Shark burst into laughter, mocking him; "I’m late-stage Spirit Transformation, pretty boy! Aren’t you afraid to face me?"
"Afraid?" Ye Wudao responded calmly; "Why should I be afraid?"
"Hmph, fearless, are you? Kid, what’s your name?" Mad Shark asked with a sharp glare.
"Wudao." Ye Wudao replied nonchalantly.
"Wudao! Ha, now that’s an arrogant name!" Mad Shark sneered, raising his Shark Tooth Knife as he declared; "In three moves, I’ll make you regret stepping onto this platform!"
Ye Wudao clasped his hands behind his back; "Go ahead."
"Kid, you attack first. Otherwise, people will say I bullied you with my superior cultivation!" Mad Shark said arrogantly.
Ye Wudao spoke softly; "It’s better if you attack first—because if I make the first move, you won’t even have the chance to fight back."
"You little brat! I despise fools who act cockier than me—especially ones who lack any strength to back it up. You’re dead meat!" Mad Shark roared furiously, unleashing a surge of late-stage Spirit Transformation aura!
The aura was formidable, carrying a deadly intent and almost touching the threshold of Spirit Transformation peak!
"Mad Shark has gotten stronger again!"
"It seems he’s close to breaking through to Spirit Transformation peak!"
"Agreed, I sense it too!" The crowd buzzed.
Many detected Mad Shark’s energy and concluded that this fight held no suspense!
An experienced late-stage Spirit Transformation brute against a mere early-stage Spirit Transformation novice!
Even a fool could predict the outcome!
"Kid, any last words before you die?" Mad Shark jeered.
The entire audience awaited Ye Wudao’s reply.
Ye Wudao’s lips curled into a faint smile; "Have you ever wondered how it feels to crush weaklings effortlessly?"
