The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

77. Record

The next day when the sun rose, the clouds became very rosy.

The Green Nether Union was crowded with people. This time the challenge fight between the cultivators was open to the public, just like before.

There were a lot of attendees. This year five hundred cultivators had passed the first test, which made the number of the attendees of the second test larger than ever before. As a result, the Union had set up two more arenas in order to save time, which meant there were ten arenas in all.

What was more, due to a large number of attendees, the Union also added an elimination match in the second test.

The rule of the elimination match was letting fifty attendees compete with each other in one arena. After forty attendees were eliminated, the remaining ten attendees would be able to attend the following test.

Since most of the attendees didn't know each other and the few acquaintances were not able to cause a stir anyway, the test was relatively fair. For this reason, no one needed to worry there would be some people forming a team to slaughter other independent cultivators.

"Also, the Union also makes that rule in order to prevent something awkward from happening." God of Books said that.

"What awkward things?" Feng Xi asked that on tiptoe while craning his neck.

Feng Xi was standing in the crowd right now. This time this clever boy had got up early in the morning and headed for the Union directly instead of coming with Uncle White. That was because he was afraid that he would create much of a stir like last time and become the focus of everyone. After all, he was the thief master who preferred to keep a low profile the whole time.

While God of Books was explaining the rules of the test, he suddenly brought up an awkward accident which got Feng Xi intrigued right away.

"Ahem, this awkward incident has something to do with Ming Qingyu. That year when he attended the test to enter the Green Nether Hunting Group, the Union also set up an elimination match. At that time there were forty people in one group. But what happened next caused a sensation. It was said that Ming Qingyu kicked all the other thirty-nine attendees out of the arena all by himself. At last, he was the only one remaining in the arena. Some of the cultivators who were kicked out of the arena by him were actually in higher cultivation levels than him, which showed that Ming Qingyu was not only the best among the cultivators in the same realm as him, but able to challenge the cultivators in higher realms than him!"

God of Books said that in a serious tone because he wanted to state explicitly how powerful Feng Xi's rival in love was.

Also, God of Books had already heard that Ming Qingyu had gone to the God and Demon Kingdom where the situation was much more complicated than the Netherworld. Going to the best place for cultivation showed Ming Qingyu's strong determination. Therefore, God of Books didn't want his master to fall behind. Although Feng Xi started cultivation very late, he was no doubt very talented.

"That's awesome!" Feng Xi sighed. After pausing for a second, he said, "He did have strong willpower. How did he manage to kick thirty-nine cultivators out of the arena? I didn't even touch the hem of Uncle White's clothes yesterday."

God of Books couldn't help but twitch his mouth, thinking, 'How could those cultivators be compared with Uncle White?'

Although God of Books didn't know which cultivation level Uncle White was in, he was pretty sure that this old man was one of the most powerful cultivators in the Three Worlds.

Nevertheless, God of Books still didn't utter the things he was thinking about at last. He knew that his master wouldn't take his words to heart anyway. Moreover, now was not the time to discuss such things, and the premier task for him and Hairless Chicken was protecting Feng Xi.

What a difficult task!

"Master, the attendees are allowed to bring their Demon Beasts with them to attend the elimination match. But I think this is a good chance for you to practice since you don't have too much combative experience, so please don't let Hairless Chicken help you unless there's no other choice. The Chicken is already a very powerful Beast and could easily defeat those cultivators. If you let it attack them, it would easily kick those attendees out of the arena..."

Before God of Books could finish his words, he saw the boy's eyes sparkling. Then there were only two words echoing in the head of God of Books, 'Damn it!'

Feng Xi also had another Demon Beast, which was the Sky Breaking Beast. However, that Beast had secluded itself in order to reach the Saint realm ever since it had the Fruit of the World, so it was not able to come over with Feng Xi and his buddies. Anyway, it would make no difference to the result of the test if Sky Breaking Beast came or not. God of Books wanted to say that it was better than Sky Breaking Beast couldn't come. After all, it was too easy for the two Demon Beasts to defeat Feng Xi's opponents. That was why he had reminded Feng Xi of those words. However, Feng Xi seemed to have understood his words in a completely opposite way!

God of Books knew exactly what Feng Xi was thinking the moment he saw the look on the latter's face after staying with Feng Xi for a long time. However, it was no use regretting now.

"Nerd, you said that the Demon Beast could also be considered as part of its master's power. So, it doesn't matter if I let Hairless Chicken attack for me, right?" Feng Xi looked at God of Books with a playful smile.

'I was so right about you!'

Thinking of that, God of Books felt so helpless. His master's thought was so obvious.

Feng Xi humphed, thinking, 'My leader only belongs to me, no one can share him with me. How dare Ming Qingyu covet my leader! I'll never let him get what he wants. Since he can create a miracle at that time, why couldn't I? Also, this time there are more attendees in the arena than Ming Qingyu has faced at that time. If I can kick all the other cultivators out of the arena, I will make a greater sensation than Ming Qingyu did!'

How could Feng Xi miss such a great chance!

God of Books knew that he was not able to change his master's mind, so he had to make a concession by saying, "Master, how about this? Each one of you will deal with half of the attendees. It's like a competition between you and Hairless Chicken. We'll see who'll kick those cultivators out of the arena first. How does that sound?"

"Fine!" Feng Xi found that very funny, so he agreed right away.

Hairless Chicken stood up in an imposing manner. Its beautiful feathers looked dazzling, tender, and smooth unlike the sparse gray ones before. Although it was still a chicken, it was a gorgeous chicken now!

A lot of people were already peeking at Hairless Chicken with a jealous look in their eyes.

Feng Xi patted on the Chicken's back and chuckled complacently, feeling quite pleased when being gazed at by others like this.

Because he had already got used to calling the Chicken Hairless Chicken, even if the feathers of the Chicken were already not very sparse, Feng Xi and his buddies still called it Hairless Chicken. At last, the minority became subordinate to the majority. Hairless Chicken's resistance was invalid, and that name would stay with the Chicken forever.

As time went by, the first round of the elimination match finally started.
