Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1336: Consuming Blood Essence (3)

Outside the ancient city.

When Su Yu floated into the air again, he noted that the crowd on the island had grown.

As he looked at the human race's palace, he saw some familiar faces, including Bai Feng. When Bai Feng saw Su Yu, he even waved. He did not shout loudly, but he didn't pretend he didn't know Su Yu either.

Su Yu was his student. It was pointless to try hiding that.

It was unknown if the discussion had been completed earlier. The moment Su Yu appeared, the white-haired divine king said, "The rules are simple. You will only receive the slot of the opponent you defeat. For example, when Mayor Su defeats someone who had defeated eighty-eight opponents, he will only receive one additional slot instead of eighty-nine slots."

"..."

Su Yu laughed, "Aren't you restricting yourself with this as well? Why bother?"

With this rule in place, it would be much harder for him to win all the slots alone. This would give others the opportunity to deliberately lose to someone else to preserve their slots.

The white-haired divine king said, "We're not targeting you, Mayor Su. However, the various races are unwilling to accept the previous proposal. This is our only choice. You're not the only one losing out through this new proposal. In fact, we will lose more than you. However, we have decided to agree for the good of everyone."

That was true as well. This would restrict the other young geniuses as well.

Su Yu said, "I understand. With this, I'll need to finish each fight rapidly. I only need to kill everyone before they can react and I can have all the slots. So this is a game of speed. Am I right? I have no issue with it."

That was nothing. Some of the Invincibles were rendered speechless while some merely laughed with amusement. That was true. One only needed to be fast enough and not give others the chance to collaborate with each other.

The white-haired divine king continued, "Additionally, each fight will last until someone concedes. Since it is inconvenient to kill inside the ancient city, you are allowed to throw a stubborn opponent into an ancient building to win if the opponent attempts to drag the fight out to waste your time."

That was actually a good rule to have. It would be troublesome if some people decided to harass others by refusing to admit defeat since they were fighting in an ancient city. Having the option to throw someone into an ancient building to win the fight would solve this issue.

Su Yu smiled and asked, "What if someone enters an ancient building voluntarily? If that is also considered a defeat, who will the slot go to? The slot must go to someone, right? In my opinion, such slots should go to the biggest winner of the stage. Those with the biggest fist shall get these slots. Is that acceptable? Otherwise, all eighty-nine of my opponents would be able to hide inside the ancient buildings at the start of the match. Am I supposed to give up on all the slots in that situation?"

The white-haired divine king nodded, "That was what I had in mind as well. If multiple combatants remained until the end, the extra slots would be split among them. If only one combatant lasted until the end, all the extra slots would go to that combatant."

"I agree!"

Su Yu did not protest since these limitations were not targeted solely at him.

He smiled and asked again, "By the way, how many matches can each combatant participate in?"

"Hmm?" The white-haired divine king said, "Didn't we agree on this yesterday? You can only fight those with the same cultivation level."

Su Yu grinned and said, "I mean an advancement or a drop of cultivation. Will that allow me to participate in the matches for the other cultivation levels?"

With a toying tone, he said, "For example, I'm a seventh-stage Cloudbreach now. After winning the match for seventh-stage Cloudbreaches, I will advance into the eighth stage. After winning that match, I can advance to the ninth stage and join the next match. Will that be acceptable?"

"..."

Everyone stared at him blankly.

With the same smile on his face, Su Yu said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm being serious. I guarantee my cultivation level will move for real. There are no tricks involved. So? Is this acceptable? Can you guys stop targeting me all the time? I'm working according to the rules. You are free to do the same as well."

Finally, Devil King Moge lost patience and roared, "Su Yu! Don't push it!"

Su Yu exclaimed in surprise, "What am I pushing? I'm merely asking some questions about the rules. Why is that bad? What nonsense are you on? I'm being serious. I am completely capable of dropping my cultivation level to the seventh stage. Why is that an issue?"

"..."

Everyone felt greatly annoyed. Why was Su Yu so troublesome? How could someone think like this?

Dao King emphasized, "Each participant can only participate in one match."

Su Yu shrugged, "You're targeting me again. Sigh. You guys are indeed sore losers. How boring."

"..."

All around them, everyone watched silently as Su Yu toyed with the Invincibles like they were children. They couldn't help but be impressed.

Su Yu continued, "By the way, are there any race limitations for the competition? That won't work for the ancient cities."

Everyone eyed him suspiciously. What trick was he trying to play now?

With a frown, Moge said, "There are no race limitations."

Su Yu sighed with relief and said, "Remember your words. Don't renege on them again. This whole thing will be completely pointless if you keep going back on your words."

Dao King said, "As long as you stop causing trouble, we naturally won't have a need to renege on our words."

He looked at the group of people behind Su Yu and asked, "Have you picked your twenty combatants? If you lack people, the immortals will be happy to help you out."

"I have enough people." Su Yu said, "Don't worry. I have more than enough people to participate. Do we start with the match for the first-stage Skysoars?"

"We can start anytime."

Su Yu smiled, "The Holy City Alliance will be participating as well."

As he said that, he casually tossed a drop of blood into the city. Then, a first-stage Skysoar death spirit manifested.

After marking the head of the death spirit with a shining circle, Su Yu smiled, "He will be our combatant. All the other first-stage Skysoars may enter the city now. Kill him and you will win his slot. You can also throw him into an ancient building if you're feeling merciful."

Stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

What was this?

Even Great Zhou King was stunned. Nobody had expected this.

Su Yu said, "I checked. You guys confirmed that there are no race limitations. The death spirit race is a race as well. Don't worry. He's weak. A normal first-stage Skysoar can easily kill him. Oh, right. I forgot one thing. This guy can't enter the ancient buildings. I guess you will need to kill him to get his slot."

"..."

Fuck that!

The others cursed inwardly.

Killing a death spirit in an ancient city? Wasn't that the same as courting disaster? Was that a joke?

Su Yu continued, "I'm being serious. It won't be hard at all. For example, when only three or five combatants are left, you can join hands to kill him before running. The city won't be sealed unless it's a Sunmoon death spirit. Don't worry. I'm not the type to make things difficult for others. Killing him will be your best option. If you opt to kill him earlier, things might get troublesome as more death spirits will spawn."

The others didn't know what to say. Then again, what he suggested was indeed doable. It would be fine if they waited until the very end before killing the death spirit.

However...the death spirit would eliminate quite a number of combatants before that. Yes, the death spirit might be weak. But a death spirit was also extremely troublesome to deal with.

Su Yu said, "The rules allow this. All of you are Invincibles. It won't be appropriate for you to keep reneging on your words. I might be an easygoing person, but you need to be reasonable as well. It's not like a death spirit is an impossible opponent."

The Invincibles exchanged gazes. After a long while, the white-haired divine king said coldly, "Fine."

Yes. A death spirit was not an impossible opponent. It was indeed inappropriate for them to keep changing the rules. However, Su Yu was truly too unpredictable. How could he think of something like this? This was so ridiculous that they couldn't help but be impressed.

Yes, the death spirit was weak. But it could still win quite a lot of slots for Su Yu. That was because fighting a death spirit in an ancient city was extremely troublesome. One had to constantly hold back to avoid killing the death spirit accidentally.

Even Tian He and the other ancient city residents were staring at Su Yu with odd expressions.

Mayor Su sure was creative. This was a great idea. He wouldn't even feel the loss if this death spirit were killed. After all, he had plenty of death spirits he could use.

Su Yu said, "This is a suggestion. I repeat. This is just a suggestion. It's a bad idea to kill the death spirit for only one slot. It's not like you can get more than one slot from killing the death spirit. Just drag it out and let the match end. If you kill a death spirit, more death spirits will appear. You will be making things difficult for the subsequent combatants. Just pretend the death spirit isn't there. It's only one slot. It's no big deal."

Once again, everyone was rendered speechless. It felt as though he was leaving only one possibility available. What else could they say here? Perhaps...they really had to ignore the death spirit.

The white-haired divine king was too tired to keep arguing. He impatiently said, "All first-stage Skysoar combatants, enter the city. If there are fewer than ninety combatants, we will readjust."

He glanced at Su Yu and cursed inwardly. If he had known this, he wouldn't have agreed to setting the ancient city as the venue. Unfortunately, all the races had been happy to accept the proposal to reduce losses. This was the only proposal everyone could agree with.

Su Yu grinned.

When his gaze landed on the weak death spirit in the city, his smile grew wider. What a pity that the Invincibles wouldn't be fighting or he would drag even Xing Yue out to participate. Would the Invincibles dare to kill her? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Wouldn't that be fun?
