#2044 - One Punch Breaks the Limit
The state competition's scoring mechanism is a bit different.
In the competition matchups, each defeated opponent grants you all the points they have earned in that particular event.
Therefore, in the state competition, the number of team members is no longer much of an advantage.
The individual strength of the team members is the most important factor.
No matter how many times you win before, or how many points you earn for the team,
once you lose in a later match, all the points you have earned will be instantly cleared, and the team's total score will plummet.
The battles on the dueling stage are intense.
The top three teams from each county compete against each other.
Jun Wuxie watched quietly.
He really wasn't interested in these duels, he was purely waiting for the top three competition and the ultimate challenge.
The only things that piqued his interest in this God-given Battle were the teams with special origins that appeared in some of the states.
Of the five great states, the East Sea and Yingchuan states each had two special teams.
They also came from other universes, they were extraterrestrial cultivators, but they did not come from the same world as him.
Before entering, Jun Wuxie knew that this world was pieced together from many fragments of broken universe spaces.
Some areas of this world hide world rifts that connect to other worlds.
It didn't surprise him that creatures from other universes crossed over when this world's space nodes opened.
In recent years, he rarely talked about the God-given Battle.
But the few times he discussed the God-given Battle with Jing Ya's avatar, Jing Ya's avatar would mention those two teams.
The two teams were very strong, especially a team called Burning Heart, which actually passed the ultimate challenge.
Although they used special artifacts and external forces to pass the ultimate challenge, it still proved that they were very strong.
The members of that team must have stepped into the realm of the Hundred Lifetimes Myth, otherwise they would not have been able to win even with external help.
However, the Burning Heart team only passed the ultimate challenge once, and it was not the first clear.
No matter which state or level of competition, the first clear of the ultimate challenge was always Jun Wuxie.
Only the first clearers could get the secret realm key, and non-first clearers could only get divine fruit rewards.
The realm of the members of those two teams are very high.
Although they are not Heavenly Gods, they have already cultivated the True God realm to perfection.
If they get the Rank Three Divine Pill in this state competition, their cultivation will definitely improve and step into the Half-Step Heavenly God realm.
Of course, entering the Heavenly God realm is not that easy.
First of all, let's not talk about whether the Rank Three Elementary Divine Pill can allow them, who have strong talent growth, to break through to the Heavenly God realm.
Even if it can, entering the Heavenly God realm also requires comprehending the laws of the Heavenly God.
This is not something that can be done by relying on Divine Pills, but requires time to comprehend.
Therefore, it is impossible to break through to the Heavenly God realm in a short period of time.
"Husband, are you worried about the competitions in those two states?"
Jing Ya's avatar was sitting next to Jun Wuxie and could sense his thoughts.
"What do you think? In the state competition, my friends will inevitably face them.
Keep an eye on it and secretly intervene when necessary.
It's not to interfere with the outcome of the duel, but to ensure that they can leave the dueling stage alive if their lives are in danger."
"Don't worry, even if my husband doesn't say it, I will protect your old friends from harm,"
Jing Ya's avatar said.
She knew who he was talking about when he mentioned his friends.
It was the people named Cang Tian and Ba Feng, and the two contestants named Fan Hai and Qi Huang.
These four people belong to two different team combinations, located in different states.
The Cang Tian and Ba Feng combination has the strongest character, and the Fan Hai and Qi Huang combination is slightly better.
But no matter what, encountering those two teams may be life-threatening.
The two teams from the outer universe are quite ruthless, it's all or nothing.
Especially when they encounter stronger opponents, their methods will only be more ruthless.
… …
The competition continued, and after several days, it was finally coming to an end.
The number of people in the state competition is relatively small, after all, only the top three from more than thirty counties participate, with a total of only about a hundred teams.
Along the way, there were a few teams that were particularly strong, defeating all their opponents.
Because if the loser, all points will be cleared by the other party.
Meaning that the defeated team's points all become zero, and the team members also lose the qualification to continue the duel at the same time.
After a round of elimination, only three teams remained.
Even so, none of these three teams challenged the Apricot Blossom Village team.
They just competed with each other until they competed out of the two teams, and then the last team besides the Apricot Blossom Village team that never played.
At this time, the Apricot Blossom Village team had to come on stage.
Only their two teams were left to compete for the first place.
Hua Qi didn't move, and stood honestly below.
He knew very well that his realm could not go on stage to compete with the competitors.
Jun Wuxie stood up under the attention of countless eyes and walked towards the dueling stage.
On the dueling stage, the members of that team trembled when they saw him stand up.
Especially when they saw Jun Wuxie walking towards the dueling stage, their legs began to soften.
When Jun Wuxie's footsteps completely landed on the dueling stage, all the members of that team could no longer control themselves and knelt on the stage.
"Welcome, Lord Jun!"
"We are weak and unworthy of Lord Jun's action, please let us go…"
They knelt on the ground, with their heads lowered, their bodies constantly trembling, and their voices were full of fear.
"Get up, I don't eat people, why are you so afraid?"
Jun Wuxie waved his hand, and a wave of energy forcibly lifted the members of the team.
The team members were in awe.
Lord Jun is indeed an existence that can crush Heavenly Gods.
From such a distance, a wave of his hand made them unable to resist.
"Lord Jun, we admit defeat!"
They were terrified, knowing that this was the best choice.
Although this was in the competition, although they knew that even if they dueled according to the competition rules, Lord Jun should not hurt them.
But what kind of powerhouse is Lord Jun, and their strength is far from worthy of Lord Jun's action.
If they really let Lord Jun take action, it would be a blasphemy to Lord Jun.
I'm afraid that after leaving the dueling stage, the people of the entire dynasty would be hostile to them, and the days to come would be difficult.
"Yun Sect Team, are you sure you want to admit defeat?"
The voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded at this time.
"Confirmed! We know that we are not strong enough, we are unworthy of Lord Jun's action, and we give up competing for the first place."
The senior leaders of the Yun Sect team said loudly to the void.
Dong—
As soon as Yun Sect's voice fell, a loud bell of the Heavenly Dao rang above the sky.
"Congratulations to the Apricot Blossom Village team for winning the first place in the state competition, rewarding fifty Rank Three Elementary Divine Pills."
"Yun Sect team, won the second place in the state competition, rewarding thirty Rank Three Elementary Divine Pills."
"Qishan Family Team, won the third place in the state competition, rewarding twenty Rank Three Elementary Divine Pills."
… …
The voice of the Heavenly Dao announced the top eight rankings, signaling them to come on stage to receive the awards.
For a time, the entire arena was boiling.
Various voices were noisy.
People's eyes were fiery, full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Especially when they saw the antique pill boxes descending from the sky, and the boxes opened, the emerald green pills overflowed with fragrant pill fragrance, and I don't know how many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
On the stage, the only one who was not envied or hated was the Apricot Blossom Village team.
No one can feel jealousy or hatred towards Lord Jun, and subconsciously they would not think in this direction.
Lord Jun's power has long shocked the world.
The fifty pills neatly arranged in the box, flowing with emerald light, and covered with divine patterns on the surface, made Jun Wuxie very satisfied.
Although he himself can't use these pills, the people around him can.
These things are invaluable and rare resources.
Its characteristics of being able to be quickly refined and absorbed destined it to be a treasure-level resource that is hard to find in all ages.
"Apricot Blossom Village Team, the first place in the state competition, has obtained the qualification for the ultimate challenge. Do you choose to start the ultimate challenge?"
The voice of the Heavenly Dao rang again.
Although, the voice of the Heavenly Dao is actually secretly manipulated by Jing Ya's avatar.
But you still have to go through a process.
"Of course."
Jun Wuxie put away the pill box and smiled faintly at Jing Ya's avatar under the stage.
Jing Ya's avatar blushed slightly.
"The ultimate challenge is about to begin. Members of non-first-place teams, please leave the dueling stage quickly."
It was still the voice of the Heavenly Dao, with majesty.
The members of the other teams did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly left the dueling stage, and then looked at the stage one after another.
A haze covered the dueling stage.
The order of the Heavenly Dao crossed the sky.
Two beams of light fell from the sky, evolving into two bodies of order.
People became nervous.
Those are the challenge opponents evolved from the order of the Heavenly Dao, immune to all laws, and have the divine forbidden realm of the Hundred Lifetimes Myth First Heaven.
Such an opponent can be said to be almost unsolvable, and is inherently invincible.
However, at the moment when the challenge began.
People were shocked to see Jun Shen waving his fist, and the fist mark was as bright as the sun.
There was no divine rule blooming, no secret technique phenomenon, and no magical power presented.
Only pure physical divine power was surging.
The body of order, which was originally immune to all laws, was like a piece of porcelain that had been severely hit under that sun-like fist, and exploded on the spot.
That was the Hundred Lifetimes Myth First Heaven, a powerhouse of the same realm as Lord Jun, and condensed by the order of immunity to all laws.
There were two such powerhouses in total.
However, they were forcibly crushed by Lord Jun with one punch, and they were actually instantly killed!
This is terrible!
People were stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
Just how strong is Lord Jun? To what heaven-defying level has his Divine Forbidden Zone reached?
To kill two first-level, same-realm experts of the Hundred Lifetimes Myth with a single punch, and they were even immune to all laws!
Such a scene is simply too unimaginable, unbelievable, as if one is in a dream, so unreal.
Some people even pinched themselves hard, wanting to see if they were hallucinating.
“No wonder Lord Jun slays Heavenly Gods as easily as picking flowers and pulling weeds!
Even Hundred Lifetimes Myth experts of the same realm, evolved from the Heavenly Dao Order, are not his match!”
“What realm do you think Lord Jun is in?”
“Anyway, it’s not Heavenly God, but he should be infinitely close to Heavenly God, right?
Lord Jun is the first existence in history who can easily break through and suppress the Heavenly God barrier, pioneering the unprecedented. He is completely a myth and a legend!”
From the extremely shocked crowd, someone began to exclaim in amazement.
Soon, similar voices spread.
Countless people were discussing, each person's tone filled with unspeakable admiration and awe.
Breaking the limits and challenging the impossible is actually so powerful and unmatched.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao specially released a list to promote Lord Jun back then. It was all because Lord Jun was too strong, divinely martial and naturally gifted, invincible in this era!
