Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Plundering Fate

Not only did the audience find it difficult to choose the last contestant, but judges on the referee stand were also frowning over the selection of the final seed player.

"Since there are exactly ten judges and one chief judge, why don’t we simply vote? Whoever gets the most votes, we select that person, how about that?"

Someone suggested.

"This proposal is good."

The chief judge, not wishing to be autocratic, simply nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I choose Joshua Long, his defense is astonishing, and so far, no one has been able to break through it!"

"I choose Hong Li, her strength surpasses that of Bai Qianjiao. It’s only a pity she didn’t have a chance to compete with the Sixth Young Master of Holy Dynasty, otherwise, her performance wouldn’t be worse than Qin Bi Xue."

"I’ll still choose Ling Xiao. He managed to defeat Jian Wuji, his prowess cannot be underestimated."

After a round of voting by the ten judges, three voted for Joshua Long.

Four voted for Hong Li.

Three voted for Ling Xiao.

Looking at the current situation, Hong Li had the most votes.

However, the vote of the chief judge, who carried the most weight, had yet to be cast.

"The chief judge’s cultivation level and insight are both superior to ours, his vote should at least count as two, shouldn’t it?"

"Indeed!"

"Then let it be settled."

The chief judge did not refuse.

After a moment of silence, he cast his vote for Ling Xiao: "This young man is unfathomably deep."

With that, the six seed players had been selected.

Ji Mingkong, Mo Wu Shang, Bai Qianjiao, Qin Bi Xue, Liu Taiyin, and Ling Xiao.

For such a result, the majority of people had no objections, after all, the strength and insight of these ten judges and the chief judge were universally recognized. Their judgement was unlikely to be erroneous.

Of course, there were definitely those who objected.

Such as Hong Li, such as Hong Sanwei, these two were quite discontented.

Hong Li believed that her strength surpassed that of her senior sister, yet now she wasn’t even a seed player, which she felt to be a great insult. She was unhappy.

As for Hong Sanwei, she felt that although she lost to Qin Bi Xue, she might not necessarily lose to her elder brother Liu Taiyin, and was even less likely to lose to Ling Xiao. Why hadn’t she been selected as a seed player?

Both individuals were thinking about how to slap the judges in the face.

"Hmph, although Ling Xiao defeated Jian Wuji, our Hong Sanwei could do it too. It’s outrageous, how dare a small Moon Hua Sect climb over the heads of our Mysterious Fire Sect?"

The upper echelon of Mysterious Fire Sect was extremely dissatisfied with the result.

Mainly because they felt it was a loss of face.

After all, Hong Sanwei was one of the Sixth Young Masters of Holy Dynasty in the previous tournament, but now was kicked out of the seed player ranks, and that was no small injury to Mysterious Fire Sect’s pride.

Nevertheless, dissatisfied as they were, they didn’t dare to make any reckless comments and could only grumble in private.

They were aware that just the ten judges alone were all Martial Artists of the Cave Heaven Realm, not less in strength than the Sect Leader of Mysterious Fire Sect.

The chief judge was an even more powerful Yin-Yang Realm expert, someone they could not afford to provoke.

Only someone with water in their brain would criticize judges, as the outcome would undoubtedly be miserably dire.

"Let it be, as long as Sanwei pulls her own weight and defeats Ling Xiao, then Mysterious Fire Sect’s face won’t have been lost!"

The Sect Master of Mysterious Fire Sect remained composed.

Of course, that was also out of helplessness.

After all, with things having come to this stage, even if he was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

"It’s infuriating, had I known it would come to this, I would’ve urged Sanwei to use her trump card to defeat Qin Bi Xue; then it wouldn’t have come to this!"

"That wouldn’t have been wise, revealing the trump card too early would be disadvantageous for the upcoming matches. Just be assured, aside from a few opponents, the rest are unlikely to be a match for Sanwei."

"That does make sense."

The members of the Mysterious Fire Sect were well aware that Hong Sanwei was stronger than Liu Taiyin, and they believed that Hong Sanwei would definitely not fail to secure a place among the Six Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty.

"Sister apprentice, there’s no need to be so angry, as long as one has strength, even if not a seeded contestant, one can still advance to the top six."

Liu Taiyin was well aware of his sister apprentice’s strength. He believed that as long as she was willing, advancing to become one of the Six Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty and obtaining the glory of the previous session was not an impossibility.

"I understand, brother apprentice!"

Hong Sanwei nodded, calming her irritated mood.

Since the competition hadn’t started yet, the audience had their own opinions about these six seeded contestants.

"It’s really unfair that Hong Li and Joshua Long didn’t make it, both of them are stronger than most, I think even stronger than Ling Xiao!"

"Oh, come on, do you think your judgment is better than the referees’?"

"Anyway, no matter what, Ling Xiao only defeated Jian Wuji, which earned him quite a few points. Otherwise, he might not have made it into the seeded contestants."

These commentators were unaware of the events of the previous night, otherwise, they would not have spoken so.

"The match is starting, let’s stop chatting for now."

After the rules were announced and the seeded contestants were selected, the chief referee quickly declared the start of the competition.

This was the most thrilling moment.

The selection of seeded contestants was not a big deal; it was the actual performance in the matches that really mattered.

If the seeded contestants were quickly defeated by others, that would probably be even more embarrassing.

All eyes were now focused on the Martial Arts Platform.

There were two martial artists standing on the square Martial Arts Platform.

One was the Fire Demon Venerable from the Mysterious Fire Sect, and the other was Fengmo Ting from the Heavenly King Sect.

Fengmo Ting was a replacement for the deceased Jian Wuji, so his strength was certainly not on par with the Fire Demon Venerable.

But he had no intention of giving up.

Having become one of the Twenty Heavenly Prides and gained a fortune of qi destiny, he did not want to give up so soon.

However, under the watchful eyes of all, he still fell short in strength and was defeated by the Fire Demon Venerable.

After Fengmo Ting’s defeat, the essence within the Bronze Cauldron behind him steadily flowed into the Bronze Cauldron of the Fire Demon Venerable.

After some time,

The Bronze Cauldron behind Fengmo Ting became very faint, almost invisible, while the Bronze Cauldron behind the Fire Demon Venerable became much clearer.

A single Cauldron of fortune was almost formed.

"Interesting!"

Since Ling Xiao had received three Cauldrons of fortune from Jian Wuji the night before, he was not unfamiliar with this scene, yet every time he saw it, he still found it fascinating and exhilarating.

The competition continued, and the second to appear was surprisingly Joshua Long.

Ling Xiao had high hopes for Joshua Long.

The qi destiny of the Divine Sword Sect needed to be contended for by Joshua Long.

Joshua Long’s opponent was Li Xuefeng, whom he had defeated once before, so this battle was basically without suspense.

Joshua Long won with ease.

Li Xuefeng was quite strong, and his sect was also powerful, so he had accumulated a good amount of Nine Cauldrons fortune, initially possessing two Cauldrons.

After being defeated by Joshua Long, he went from having one Cauldron to two, while Li Xuefeng dropped to one.

From this, it was evident that the more Nine Cauldrons fortune one had, the greater the loss upon defeat.

After Fengmo Ting’s defeat, the fortune he lost was less than that of a Cauldron, while Li Xuefeng lost an entire Cauldron of fortune.

Actually, this principle was quite easy to understand.

Simply put, those with less fortune who defeat those with more gain more, and if they lose, they lose less.

Those with more fortune who defeat those with less gain less, and if they lose, they lose more.
