Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: The Battle for the Top Ten Begins_1

"Next, please, the top 100 disciples, come up to the stage," the presiding deacon called out loudly to the crowd below.

When Peter Brown climbed onto the stage, the others also made their way up one by one.

Then came the identity verification.

Once everyone’s identity was verified, the host said solemnly, "You already know the rules, so I won’t repeat them. This is the battle to enter the top ten among the top 100. Since you have displayed your worth, there are experts from the Immortal Sect present to oversee the match and minimize casualties as much as possible, but of course, injuries and deaths are inevitable."

His words caused everyone to chuckle, as it was as if he hadn’t said anything at all.

The host continued, "As I said yesterday, those who enter the top ten will become probationary disciples and enjoy the benefits of full discipleship, naturally receiving greater resources. Your dwellings will also be upgraded, so strive your best."

The contenders were growing tense at this point, as a probationary disciple’s spot was indeed a strong draw for everyone.

"Today’s arena battle is quite simple. Do you see those ten chairs over there? All you need to do is sit in one until midnight to claim victory."

Defend the stage from morning until midnight!

Peter Brown was also surprised by this method of holding the stage.

The host laughed and added, "Don’t get too many ideas. As long as the defender can knock ten people off the stage, they automatically secure a seat."

At these words, those who had hoped to take advantage of the situation shivered inside, wondering if they could actually hide on the sidelines without being targeted by others.

"The struggle for the throne begins now; you are free to attack using any means at your disposal!"

As he finished speaking, the host had already made his exit.

At this moment, the hundred contenders were already rushing towards the chairs.

Peter, witnessing the scene while charging forward, saw several people lunging towards him.

"Kill!"

The attackers were five individuals, all from the Energy Gathering Layer; seeing their formation, Peter realized that the Clarkson Clan’s Elder Sister might not be his match, but her man could mobilize some postnatal experts to come here with the intention of killing him in this place.

Putting aside his thoughts, Peter’s hand now held a large sabre.

With a Fourth Grade sabre in hand, Peter’s aura also began to elevate.

"Energy Gathering Layer!"

One of them cried out in shock.

As everyone turned to look at Peter, they indeed found that he was no longer a person of the Spiritual Layer, but had become a person of the Energy Gathering Layer.

How had he advanced so quickly?

Seeing Peter’s cultivation, and thinking how he was a newcomer who had just joined the Sect, everyone was at a loss for words; Peter’s advancement in cultivation was indeed too rapid.

The spectators were shocked as they turned their gaze towards Peter, not expecting him to be this powerful, with some even regretting not having placed bets on him.

However, upon seeing Peter surrounded by five Energy Gathering Layer people, they weren’t optimistic about his chances of overcoming this obstacle, knowing full well the five had been in the Sect for a while and could potentially advance a rank at any moment.

"Even if you are at the Energy Gathering Layer, what can you do? A newly advanced cannot display his full power. Everyone, surround him!"

The five individuals encircled Peter at the center.

Looking towards the five, murderous intent shone in Peter’s eyes.

"Cold Star Shoot!"

Peter bellowed, and the sabre in his hands radiated Sword Radiance, then a blockbuster swath of Ice Thunder swept towards the five attackers.

"Go!"

The five combatants deployed various Immortal Artifacts, and instantly a massive sound of collision could be heard.

Peter’s sabre followed one slash after another. Now that he had entered the Energy Gathering Layer, he wanted to test the extent of his martial prowess against these five in open combat.

Boom...

The sounds of incessant striking echoed as the five people, indeed from the Energy Gathering Layer, still managed to land hits on Peter Brown’s body from time to time.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Peter Brown at this moment was no longer protected by the Fine Iron Shield but by an impenetrable blue turtle shell.

Realizing he had not been injured, Peter’s confidence soared, and with a swift motion, he broke free; then, with a reach of his hand, a talisman appeared in his grasp.

"Trapping talisman!"

As Peter released the talisman, the five people he had intentionally drawn together were now trapped within it.

"Attack!"

At that moment, Peter flung two talismans from his hand.

Boom boom!

Two massive blasts sounded as the five trapped individuals were vigorously shaken by the impact of Peter’s talismans.

And that was not the end; Peter’s hand now held an upgraded Detachable Arrow, which he fired at one of the injured people trapped inside.

Thud!

The Detachable Arrow struck its mark, and the man collapsed.

Peter had not dealt a lethal blow, for there were many skilled fighters watching; he only inflicted severe injuries on the man.

Under the impetus of the formation, the severely injured man was revealed.

Peter darted forward, snatched the man’s storage bag, and then kicked him forcefully down from the Arena Platform.

One!

Peter had already knocked one person off the Arena Platform.

Looking towards the Trapping Array, he realized it was indeed only effective for a brief period and was about to be broken by those inside.

Without time to spare, Peter cast the Immortal-binding Rope, binding one of the men.

Immediately after, he launched another arrow, and another person inside fell.

The people trapped in the Trapping Array couldn’t see Peter’s attacks from the outside, and consecutively, three people were taken down by him.

Naturally, after collecting their storage bags, Peter kicked them off the platform one by one.

Four!

Peter quickly kicked four people off in a very short time.

When the Trapping Array was breached, and the person from the Energy Gathering Layer charged out, Peter flicked his Immortal-binding Rope and, catching the man off guard, tripped him to the ground.

Using the same method, Peter then kicked the man off the Arena Platform.

That’s when Peter noticed a furious matron glaring at him; without a doubt, he knew she must be from the Clarkson Clan’s eldest sister.

He paid no mind to her thoughts, and with a swift movement, he rushed toward the first chair.

"Seeking death!"

A person from the Energy Gathering Layer saw Peter trying to grab the chair, roared in anger, and sent a hammer-shaped Immortal Artifact at him.

"Scram!"

Peter hurled a Heavenly Thunder Talisman towards the man.

With the talisman’s detonation, the person from the Energy Gathering Layer was blasted away.

"Heavenly Thunder Talisman!"

At this time, Peter unleashed five Heavenly Thunder Talismans in quick succession.

As the five Heavenly Thunder Talismans erupted one after another, the path ahead of Peter was forcefully cleared.
