Monarch Of Time

Chapter 976 The Top 3

''Hmm?''

Fan De's brows shot up when he saw Liu Mei staring at him with her cold, mesmerizing black eyes that resembled a bottomless abyss. For a moment, that frosty gaze sent a shiver down the grey-robed youth's spine, as if the stunning young woman in front of him had witnessed countless deaths already.

And yet, that sensation only lasted for a brief moment as Liu Mei stepped forward and said

''That blond girl you eliminated in the first round is my sister. It's not that I am angry on her behalf, but it really left a sour taste in my mouth seeing her lose like that.''

As she finished speaking, Liu Mei didn't wait for a response as she lightly tapped the beam of light around Fan De with her finger, before the effeminate young man and the stunning young woman both vanished from the mountain peak.

Jiang Tianfang observed that scene with a look of surprise on his injured face, before he turned to Shun Long and asked curiously

''Nephew Shun, do you think Liu Mei can defeat that kid?'' Jiang Tianfang's wounds hadn't recovered just yet, but thanks to the old man's timely intervention, there was no threat to his life allowing him to observe what was going on in the mountain peak without much trouble. Of course, from the looks of things, he wouldn't be able to fight for at least a few more weeks until his injuries fully healed.

Looking at Jiang Tianfang, Shun Long nodded his head and smiled before he answered

''Mei'er may not be as well-rounded as Bai Longtian or Jiang Chen or as versatile as Xingyi, but in terms of pure strength, she is at least as strong as Jiang Chen. That Fan De is born with the 'Blazing Sun unique physique', but it won't be enough for him to win this time.''

''Hahaha! You little brat, you are truly perceptive, aren't you? That's right, that kid's physique is indeed the 'Blazing Sun unique physique'! It's not an overly powerful unique physique, but it's not one to be looked down upon either. Although that girl has comprehended the 'Dao of Death' and is quite proficient in it, it's unknown if she can really come out on top!''

The purple-robed overseer couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Shun Long's and Jiang Tianfang's discussion. The more the old man looked at Shun Long and interacted with him, the more he came to appreciate him with every passing moment. After all, not only was the azure-robed youth incredibly strong and had comprehended more than one supreme-level Dao, but he was also extremely knowledgeable regarding unique physiques as well.

However, Shun Long merely smiled at the old man, not offering any response to his evaluation.

Although the old man's eye for talent wasn't bad, there was no one here who knew Liu Mei's true strength better than him. There was no way for Fan De to win against her if all he relied on was his 'Blazing Sun unique physique'!

Soon, an hour passed in complete silence and then another as the surrounding Dao Kings and Dao Emperors waited for the fight to come to an end. Finally, halfway into the second hour, the immortal qi at the peak of the mountain started to coalesce before two familiar figures appeared once more, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at Liu Mei's unblemished white robes and the powerful fluctuations of spiritual qi coming from her body, Shun Long could already tell how the fight had concluded.

And indeed, after throwing a look at the grey-robed Fan De, whose body was now filled with hundreds of lacerations, some of them coming from small sharp weapons while others resembling the fangs of a terrifying magic beast, Shun Long could practically guess what the effeminate young man had just gone through.

It was obvious that both Liu Mei's skeletons and the 'Death Eater' hadn't gone easy on the grey-robed youth.

Nodding his head, the purple-robed old man threw a high-grade rank 6 healing pill at the injured Fan De, before turning his gaze towards the gigantic slab of stone next to him. Soon, Fan De's name dropped from 4th to 6th place and was eventually replaced by Liu Mei's.

As soon as this scene took place, every single Dao King and Dao Emperor on the mountain peak, regardless of whether they were resting or recuperating from their wounds all opened their eyes and turned their gazes towards Huang Yun. The fight for first place was about to begin!

Even the purple-robed old man couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the long-haired young man at the center of it all.

Without a doubt, Huang Yun was one of the only two people here who could truly challenge that azure-robed monster in first place!

And indeed, a moment later, the successor of the ancient Huang family stepped forward, walking past Xuan Bo and the rest, and stopping right in front of Shun Long. With a deep, profound look in his eyes, Huang Yun then said

''I don't know who you are or how come you are ranked above me and Xuan Bo, but I refuse to yield first place to anyone else. I've been preparing for this 'Heavenly Tower' for twenty years, and neither you nor Xuan Bo can stop me!''

As soon as his voice trailed out, the aura of a peak-stage Dao King exploded from Huang Yun's body, followed by the power of a peak sixth-stage body refiner, before the handsome long-haired youth abruptly thrust his palm towards Shun Long's chest. Then, under the old man's and the rest's astounded gazes, the two young monsters vanished from the mountain peak!

...

Moments later, Shun Long opened his eyes as he found himself at the heart of a vast, eerily familiar coliseum.

Staring at the thousands upon thousands of exquisitely crafted stone seats in the spectator stands and the countless grains of sand on the ground, it was clear that the final stage of this seventh trial was held in the first trial's ancient arena!
