Chapter 170: Rising Stars
More and more of the young cultivators were kicked out of the Constellation Shell Mirror. The view screens up above even changed what they were showing. Instead of one larger screen and four smaller ones, it suddenly split into a giant grid. Each of the four screens split into quarters and the screen above did the same. Suddenly there was thirty two individual screens now and the action seemed to have multiplied. The cultivators inside werent slacking either.
Dozens of powerful individuals started to stand out, doing the same thing that Song Lu Tian was doing, directly kicking out the weaklings from the competition. Others seemed to catch on quickly and used various methods to hide themselves. They knew they didnt have to defeat the other cultivators here, they just had to keep from being defeated. Some took an even more unusual approach, using their charisma and personal relations with other Sects or Clans to recruit allies. Instead of hiding they rapidly formed large groups to protect them from the lone powerful cultivators. Such a tactic wouldnt let them triumph over others in the later rounds of the tournament, but they used this to their advantage.
Come, let us work together! Well team up and join forces to eliminate those arrogant guys like Song Lu Tian!
One of the groups was successful, knocking out one of those exceedingly strong cultivators that was working individually. Elsewhere a similar group was destroyed by Song Lu Tian. Using his name as a motivation to get more to join had come back to bite them and the whole team of twenty was kicked out one by one. Time continued to pass and despite there being so many different strategies it became apparent there was no perfect solution to this test. The ones that were talented or powerful found a way to stand out, and they excelled using whatever tactic fit them best.
Song Lu Tian still moved alone, his tyrannical strength, sword skills, and sword formations were unstoppable. Fu Zedong showed his skill at clandestine operations. Seeming to materialize from out of the shadows and taking other cultivators down instantly. Chong Xiezi had a beautiful smile, but a heart rending laugh. Her opponents could only curse, standing there on the stage with no idea how they were defeated. Qin Bao used his golden tongue to draw nearly two dozen cultivators over to his side, his energy somehow able to bolster their abilities and improve their teamwork. Jia Ling had an ice cold personality, except when she started fighting, raving like a lunatic and throwing fire everywhere. Kang Min. A strange lady, she looked petite and delicate yet she was a master with a giant sabre. The blade she wielded looked was larger than she was, easily six feet long, its back edge covered with clanking rings. Usually women chose lighter weapons to account for their small physique, but Kang Min broke that rule.
You are the top twenty five of the Thunder Mountain Bridge selection tournament! Rest well, round three starts tomorrow at noon!
What a lazy method of announcing.
The Trial Master does dozens of these tournaments every year. He doesnt waste his words!
Round three was the most comprehensive, seeking to judge the abilities of the participants more closely and create a more accurate ranking between them. Surprising to many, there were five more geniuses on the stage then there was supposed to be. The Trial Master quickly explained that it would be disappointing if, for instance, the second strongest person were to be knocked out by the first ranked person in the first round. That second strongest would never get a chance to prove their might. As such, the Trial Master nominated five people that were knocked out in the first and second round that he judged were similar in strength to those in the top twenty five. These now top thirty were then sent into the Constellation Shell Mirror and split into five groups of six. Each participant would battle the five others in their group and the top two in each group would be named the top ten in the tournament.
It was a feast for the eyes, five different battles were going on at the same time and the crowd cheered their heads off. The view screens had the same configuration as at the beginning of the first round. One large screen and four smaller ones, the large screen showing off what the Trial Master guessed would be the most exciting of the current battles going on. Many geniuses from around the kingdom surged in popularity as they made a powerful showing in the tournament. So many clans and sects had gathered for the Thunder Mountain Bridge tournament that the news of these geniuses prowess would spread far and wide.
