Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

179- Lin Yan's Good Fortune

Ch179 – Lin Yan’s Good Fortune

The third day of the competition arrived as scheduled, but Yuan Tianwen still didn’t appear. Fortunately, the Yuan family’s pupils were good enough to keep the Yuan family within the top ten positions and didn’t let their family fall from the ranks of elite families.

The third day’s competition had nothing to do with the Lin family, but Lin Xuanzhi still came to spectate the match.

Duan Yuyang leisurely sat in his chair, not at all worried that his own family might be torn from the ranks of first-class families by the five winning families who emerged in the second day of the competition.

When Duan Yuhao came onto the stage, Duan Yuyang even closed his eyes and slept for a while.

Elite and first-class families were different from other families. The battles on the third day were particularly fierce. All kinds of powerful techniques dazzled the spectators’ eyes and even destroyed several martial arts training arenas. This was especially true for the first-class families, who weren’t so much competing as showing off all their techniques in a grand performance.

After all, it was very difficult to actually rank first-class families. Rankings weren’t of great significance to them. Moreover, in order to avoid a situation where all participants who advanced to the second round were from the same twenty families, the Hundred Families Gathering ruled that each first-class family could have only three participants at most.

After the three-day competition was over, the first 100 families and the disciples ranked in the first 150 places all entered the second round successfully.

The second round uses a single-elimination tournament format. The family ranked in first place from the previous Hundred Families Gathering thirty years ago would choose one person to guard the arena ring. The other major families could all send any disciples who advanced to the second round out to challenge that defender.

If they succeeded in their challenge, the champion would be replaced. If they failed in their challenge, then it would be the next challenger’s turn.

In fact, the families’ rankings were already more or less determined in the first round of the competition. The second round wasn’t so much of a competition among families as it was an opportunity for individuals to exhibit their skills. Even if they lost, they may still draw the attention of elders from the major sects or elite families. The first-class Wu family won the last Hundred Families Gathering, and the ring defender they chose was Wu Huan. He was only seventeen years old but was already a Foundation Stage Second Layer cultivator. His weapon was a Tianyuan Whip, which was a top-grade magic tool crafted by a master especially for him. The whip could be long or short, thick or soft, just like a spiritual snake swimming around a dragon, and it was a very powerful weapon.

In less than one incense’s time, Wu Huan had already beaten down more than ten challengers.

Wu Huan raised his head haughtily as he swung his whip, which hit the ground with crackling sounds. “Who else dares to challenge? At least have some strong ones come up!”

Lin Yan went up and spoke with a giggle, “Let me try.”

Wu Huan stared at him, surprised. “You’re only a Refining Qi Stage cultivator. You’re not my opponent. Go down ba.”

The people who just challenged him were either Foundation Stage cultivators or were much older than him, but Lin Yan seemed both young and low in cultivation. Wu Huan was quite worried about going overboard — situations where people lost even arms or legs were common in the competition.

Lin Yan blinked, “Little Gege, don’t underestimate me. Who knows, maybe I’ll be the one to knock you down in a minute.”

Wu Huan gazed at Lin Yan’s pretty little face and shortened the long whip by a section. “Let’s give it a try then.”
