#164 - Diamond Joz, invincible defense!
Chapter 164: Diamond Jozu, Invincible Defense!
The fourth round of the elimination tournament lasted for two days.
The next day.
After the matches ended, everyone gathered in the lounge once again.
"I have good news for everyone!"
Teacher Shen said with a smile, "I just checked our score ranking, and we have successfully entered the top 500, currently ranked 467th."
Hearing this.
Everyone's spirits lifted!
Entering the rankings meant a higher Spirit Energy Point reward, which was definitely something to be happy about.
"What is our team's current combat score?" a female teacher asked.
Teacher Shen said, "103."
"103?" The female teacher calculated in her head and said, "The last round ended with 49 combat points... that's 54 points more? So, Sister Gu and Zhao Zheng each earned 27 combat points for advancing in this round?"
"Yes," Teacher Shen said, "The combat points gained for advancing have tripled compared to the 9 points earned in the previous round."
"It seems my previous deduction was correct. The combat points earned for each successful advancement increase threefold."
At this moment.
President Song suddenly said, "We were able to achieve our current results thanks to Zhao Zheng and Ms. Gu. You two are the greatest contributors to our team!"
Ever since Zhao Zheng clarified things yesterday, President Song completely changed his attitude towards Zhao Zheng.
Because Song Haitang had told him privately that she could achieve god-tier status every time thanks to Zhao Zheng, and it wasn't her achievement at all...
In addition.
Everyone had already accepted the fact that Zhao Zheng, a freshman, possessed seventh-order strength.
"That's right!" Teacher Shen said with a smile, raising her cup. "Come, let's toast to our two contributors!"
Everyone raised their cups.
After a lively moment.
That Teacher Qian asked curiously, "Teacher Shen, is the South Korean team still in first place?"
"Yes," Teacher Shen nodded.
It seemed that everyone had tacitly agreed to leave the task of checking the scores to Teacher Shen.
"How many points do they have?" Gu Yuying asked.
...
After a night of rest.
When dawn broke, it was the fifth round of the elimination tournament.
When everyone arrived at the audience seats, they discovered that the arena's stages had changed once again.
Yesterday, there were still hundreds of stages, but today there were only ten.
This was because the Wasteland Wolves in the fourth round had eliminated a large number of transcendents.
Now, there were less than 100,000 transcendents who still had the qualifications to compete!
However.
The transcendents who could pass the Wasteland Wolves' test were at least sixth-order powerhouses.
The global transcendent community was indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and teeming with talent!
Subsequently.
The stage guardians of the fifth round simultaneously appeared on the stages.
It was a giant monster over five meters tall, whose size was no smaller than Bumblebee.
However, this monster's body looked a little strange.
Its torso was very strong, its arms were covered in muscles, but its head was relatively small, which was very disproportionate.
If you only looked at its face, you wouldn't be able to tell that it was a strong man over five meters tall.
Seeing this stage guardian.
Many people in the audience exclaimed.
"It's actually Diamond Jozu?"
"The commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' Third Division!"
"He possesses extremely terrifying defensive power and monstrous strength, making his overall strength astonishing."
"According to our country's standards, Diamond Jozu can basically reach the seventh-order strength standard."
"I didn't expect the stage guardian of the fifth round to be him?"
"I estimate that only a very small number of people will be able to advance in this round."
"That's right! It's not easy to defeat such a monster in ten minutes..."
...
The previous martial arts rules mentioned that the first five rounds of the elimination tournament had time limits.
This time was ten minutes.
If the challenger could not defeat the stage guardian or knock the stage guardian out of the arena within ten minutes, then when the time was up, the challenger would be judged to have lost and would lose the qualification to advance.
Although the Wasteland Wolves' defense was powerful before, it had not reached the point of being impeccable.
Diamond Jozu's defensive ability had reached the point of being indestructible, which was extremely terrifying!
It was too difficult to defeat such an opponent in ten minutes.
Even for seventh-order powerhouses, it was a huge challenge!
"They actually arranged such a monster to guard the stage?" Old Chu sighed. "It's simply that they don't want people to advance!"
Zhao Zheng asked curiously, "Why does everyone recognize this guy called Diamond Jozu? Did he appear in the early Spirit Realm before?"
Old Chu nodded: "Yes, you and Song Haitang will soon enter a Spirit Realm world related to this monster."
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed.
A world related to Diamond Jozu?
That must be the Pirate World!
At this time.
Gu Yuying suddenly said, "I should be eliminated in this round."
Her tone was somewhat unwilling: "My Laser Eyes are afraid of opponents with high defense, let alone Diamond Jozu's level of defensive power. I'm afraid he can completely immunize my attacks."
Hearing this, everyone understood.
How could she fight when her strongest attack method was immunized by the enemy?
Everyone wanted to comfort Gu Yuying, but they didn't know how to speak.
Because they had all been eliminated, how could they be qualified to comfort Gu Yuying?
In the end, Zhao Zheng spoke: "It's okay, Sister Gu, leave the rest to me!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Zhao Zheng's tone was confident, obviously believing that he had the strength to defeat Diamond Jozu.
Gu Yuying immediately asked: "Zhao Zheng, are you confident?"
Zhao Zheng glanced at Diamond Jozu on the stage and said, "It should be no problem!"
At this time.
The martial arts competition began.
People stepped onto the ten stages one after another.
Moreover, on the stage on the left, the first one to appear was that Ma Dongwu!
Even for a powerhouse like Ma Dongwu, it was very difficult to deal with Diamond Jozu.
Ma Dongwu had almost solved the previous stage guardians with one punch, but his fist no longer had this effect when it hit Diamond Jozu.
At most, it only made Diamond Jozu retreat repeatedly.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying Diamond Jozu's defense was.
In the end, Ma Dongwu used his skill to throw Diamond Jozu out of the arena.
Ma Dongwu wins!
It took a total of about three minutes.
And throughout the martial arts competition, Ma Dongwu did not appear relaxed...
...
Diamond Jozu's strength was very strong.
Once he activated his Diamond Form, his defense could be called invincible!
At the same time, his strength was also very terrifying, and his speed was not slow either.
He could be considered a powerful stage guardian without many weaknesses.
The transcendents who fought against Diamond Jozu, the sixth-order powerhouses, had almost no way to deal with Diamond Jozu and admitted defeat one after another.
It was not easy for seventh-order powerhouses to defeat such an opponent either.
Some seventh-order powerhouses were eliminated by Diamond Jozu...
After a while.
It was Gu Yuying's turn to play.
The girl's judgment was indeed correct. Her Laser Eyes were almost ineffective against Diamond Jozu.
Diamond Jozu could even withstand the Laser Eyes and launch a charge at her!
Watching the huge monster pounce over, Gu Yuying had no choice but to admit defeat and leave the stage.
In this way, Gu Yuying was also eliminated and lost her qualification to participate.
The entire team was left with Zhao Zheng as the only seedling.
