The next day.
The eight true gods participating in the elimination rounds gathered in front of the arena, and there were thousands of true gods around to watch the battle.
The referee Yan Qin, the plane god, and several other true god referees arrived at the scene, as well as Yan Xian.
"This True God Competition has officially entered the elimination rounds," the referee said to the contestants and all the spectators. "The referees of the Pantheon Mansion swear to make impartial judgments."
The following True God judges also swore not to make unfair decisions due to personal emotions, including the owner's daughter Yan Xian - she was also one of the judges.
"There are four assembled arenas in the east, south, west and north directions. Please ask the eight participating True Gods to enter at the same time." The referee Yan Qin said, pointing around.
Wang Xiaohai saw that the original ninety-nine arenas were broken up and formed into four arenas that looked about twenty times larger, located in the four directions of east, south, west and north.
Wang Xiaohai and Yoshimoto Zhenshen looked at each other at the same time and walked towards the arena in the north. The arena opened a three-meter-high front door, which closed after the two walked in.
The North Arena looks different from the outside and the inside. From the outside, it looks only the size of a stadium. Once you get inside, you find that it can easily accommodate 10,000 stars. The ground is bumpy, as if it had been baptized by meteorites.
Wang Xiaohai and Ji Ben confronted each other, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"All participants are ready, let's start now!" announced the True God Yan Qin, his voice penetrating the outer space and entering the inner space of the competition.
Ji Ben's first reaction was to summon his true body to fight with Wang Xiaohai, but Wang Xiaohai's gray sword had already reached his forehead. He calculated in his mind - the moment he merged with his true body, his head would be pierced by Wang Xiaohai's gray sword!
"Bastard!" Ji Ben Zhenshen cursed, "If I don't summon my true body, neither can you!" A strange curved spear appeared in his hand, and he took Wang Xiaohai's gray sword head-on.
Wang Xiaohai hadn't used his full strength. How could he have used it in the quarterfinals? His plan was to first use his equally matched divine power to tussle with this guy for a while, then defeat him and advance to the semifinals.
“Ding—ding—”
The two men fought at a rapid speed, their weapons clashing hundreds of thousands of times in a second. The entire space was filled with dense phantoms of their bodies. Flames continued to burst, the temperature gradually rose, and the meteorite blocks below soon turned red, like iron blocks in a foundry.
"With their speed, neither of them can stop and summon their true form within the dimensional space." The True Gods observing nearby commented, "I didn't expect that No. 8 Wang Xiaohai, who had previously won by using tricks, would actually be so powerful in the elimination rounds? You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Claude also came over and quietly walked to Yan Xian's side, cheering for Wang Xiaohai, which attracted Yan Xian's attention.
Two minutes later.
"True God Claude." True God Yan Xian suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter?" Claude turned to the True God Yan Xian like an obedient dog, his eyes full of affection.
"It's impossible for the two of us." The words of the True God Yan Xian exploded in Claude's heart like a thunderbolt.
"Why...why?" Claude's voice was a little hoarse and trembling. "What's wrong with me? Do you despise my identity as the True God of the Star Domain? I can disperse all my divine power and destroy the divine fruit, and then become a free True God again!" His tone gave people a bitter feeling at the end.
"Don't be silly, that's not the reason." True God Xianxian said, "I've been engaged since I was a child. I'm in marriage with Young Master Chenxi, the son of the Chen Tourism Group in Xuanyuan Continent. You know, as a True God, you have to consider the interests of the family alliance, and it's normal to make sacrifices."
Yan Xian explained so much to Claude, which shows that she also has feelings for Claude, but love in this world does not mean that you can be together just by having feelings for each other.
"I..." True God Claude felt that he was a little weak. He was just a true god of a star field. Although he managed hundreds of millions of galaxies and angels, once he left the star field and came to this continent that was as important as the shadow universe, he was just the lowest-level god, the god with the lowest status. Goddesses of equal strength would not even look at him!
"I wish you happiness!" Claude said in a hoarse and dry voice, then turned his head to Wang Xiaohai who was fighting with Gibbon.
He only looked in the direction of Wang Xiaohai, but his mind had already wandered. He couldn't even distinguish the two True Gods fighting in the northern space. Which one was Wang Xiaohai? But he didn't want to distinguish them. His mind kept recalling the words he was rejected by the True God Yan Xian.
"You've read so many books about courting girls, but don't you know about marrying someone of equal social status?" Yan Xian said quietly. "Even if the girl you're courting likes you, her family won't approve of you being together. Do you really think that after overcoming numerous obstacles, you can be together like in the books? Let me tell you, in reality, 99% of them end up breaking up."
"Ultimately, it's all because of my lack of strength. If I were a Plane God, your family would definitely agree." A flame flared up in True God Claude's heart. "Your family thinks I'm unworthy of you, but don't worry, I'll never bother you again." He had a plan. After obtaining Wang Xiaohai's three-colored divine fruit, he would destroy the current divine fruit and become a god again, a free True God, even if it meant the risk of death! Then he would go to the True God Academy in the Pingting Star Region to study. Only then would he have the possibility of becoming a Plane God!
Claude's wisdom seemed to light up. He thought, "For a family, if a True God is exchanged for a Plane God in exchange for benefits, no family would object. At most, they would explain the reasons to the other family and then marry a member of the same family. The divine companies that form a family are rational and will not turn against each other over such a thing. Just like two star regions are constantly at war on the surface, if there is benefit between the companies in the two star regions, they will still trade and cooperate with each other."
Neither of them was talking.
In the northern arena, the attack speed of Yoshimoto Shinshen slowed down significantly. His body rotated to the right, and the strange spear emitted circles of light, heading towards Wang Xiaohai.
Wang Xiaohai remembered the reminders from his three fellow True Gods, and knew that this was the moment when True God Yoshimoto revealed his weakness, so he quickly attacked!
A strange smile appeared on Yoshimoto Shinshin's face, the strange spear split into two, and the aperture doubled and went towards Wang Xiaohai - this change of move was quite unexpected, it seemed like his ultimate martial art!
"Oh no—I've been fooled!"
Wang Xiaohai was shocked. Seeing the halo approaching his head, he had to use Senluo Eight Transformations to avoid it!
"I almost capsized!" Wang Xiaohai wondered if Lincun and Tang Kezhenshen had teamed up to trick him. "Ji Ben's right spin wasn't a flaw at all; it was a killer move!"
Yoshimoto's aperture captured Wang Xiaohai's shadow, and then he felt a chill behind his head.
"I give up!" he shouted hurriedly.
Wang Xiaohai’s gray sword stabbed in the air—Ji Ben was carried out by the white light!
"It seems that the Senluo Eight Transformations is a really good trick to sneak up on people." Wang Xiaohai revealed a unique skill, but he was not worried.
"Wang Xiaohai wins and advances to the semi-finals." The voice of referee Yan Qin sounded.
