Chapter 169: Round One

Just as before, many in the crowd seemed to be familiar with the way that the Trial Master handled things. Those that had no idea what was going on finally followed the example of the ones in the know and waited patiently. In just a few moments the Constellation Shell Mirror began to glow. The many hexagonal mirrors on it began to emit light into the air, beaming towards the heaven like a set of gigantic searchlights. The lights continued to twist and transform until finally a few minutes later the lights completely converged. The cloud of light began to take form above the stage, creating four huge flat panels facing in each of the cardinal directions. The four panels would easily be recognized as huge view screens by those on Earth, but in this world they were a rare occurrence and only powerful cultivators would have seen similar methods.

There was a collective gasp from the commoners as they saw moving pictures for the first time. Each of the four view screens faced in a different direction and let everyone see a huge mountain valley. Before anyone could get a good grasp on what they were looking at, a person suddenly appeared near the center of the stage. The suddenly appearing persons robes were torn up and they were bleeding from multiple places on their body. They had a dejected look on their face.

Thats Xiao Yumu!

Some of the people in the stands recognized the bloodied person and quickly the news that he was one of the geniuses in the tournament quickly spread. The Trial Master merely gave Xiao Yumu a quick look over before waving him off, Youre the first one out. Please exit the stage.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Song Lu Tian didnt seem to care. He rushed in like a freight train, stomping forward and sending the wolves flying with a few kicks. Rushing up to the group of three, a group of nine swords appeared behind him. The swords didnt seem to match at all, but they flew out from behind his back and each of them stabbed into a different wolfs neck. At the same time he held up one hand, extending just the index and middle finger to form sword fingers. As he got closer those two fingers of his started to glow with a silver light. He swung his arm, using his fingers like a sword and in just a dozen swipes of his hand, the three cultivators were covered with blood and disappeared. Each of them found themselves standing on the stage. One of them looked down, thinking his wounds were only superficial. The Trial Master just pointed at a small bead of blood that was on his throat, indicating how he was saved at the last instant.

The nine swords spun in place vertically like a fan blade, each of them beheading a wolf. They quickly returned to Song Lu Tian, clumping together for him to hop on top. The nine blades being used as a method of transportation, he rode them off into the distance, escaping from the pack of wolves on his makeshift hoverboard.

Riding on a flying sword was something reserved for those of a higher rank, the amount of energy it took to move them through the air was considerable. Carrying a person atop a flying blade while also achieving a decent speed was almost impossible for everyone else at the third rank. An expert in the crowd leaned over to one of his comrades, That was a Sword Formation. Song Lu Tian truly is as amazing as everyone claims.

After resting a few minutes, Song Lu Tian returned to hunting other participants. Sometimes dropping down from the sky to assassinate them, other times just sending a swarm of flying swords to do the deed, but most often he would just charge in and slash them with his fingers like before. The eliminated geniuses could only slowly leave the stage and curse their bad luck. Song Lu Tian seemed to have no order to his hunting, merely targeting whoever was closest to him and aiming for groups first. At this rate, wouldnt the tournament be over far faster than everyone thought?
