Legend of Reborn Alchemist

At this moment, a deep buzzing sound suddenly came from the three thousand meter tall Confinement Tower in the center of the plain...    

The top of the pagoda emitted a bright light that spread out. In the blink of an eye, it formed a huge Light Curtain with a radius of about ten thousand meters with the pagoda as the center.    

As long as one entered this huge Light Curtain, one would be sensed by the three thousand meter tall Giant Tower in an instant. If nothing unexpected happened, a beam of light would shoot out from the pagoda, enveloping one's body and entering the pagoda. Then, they would form a group and fight in pairs.    

This was the part of the Advanced War of Confinement Heaven Pride Advanced War. There would be several battles, which was basically the same as the rules of the Advanced War. However, there would be too many of them.    

There were over a thousand islands in the Confinement Island, and nearly half of them were qualified to participate in the scale selection of the Heaven Pride Advanced War. Including the main island, there were exactly five hundred of them.    

Five hundred islands. Each island had one hundred geniuses each from the early stage of the scale selection. Adding all of them together, this was the size of fifty thousand people.    

In other words, there were fifty thousand geniuses from the various islands that had gathered in the vast plains ten thousand feet away from Xian Kong City.    

Any one of these fifty thousand geniuses who rushed forward and entered the ten thousand meter wide Light Curtain zone of the Giant Tower would immediately be sucked away by a beam of light. They would then enter the Giant Tower, and they would be randomly assigned to fight against each other, and the survival of the fittest would be decided...    

"Swoosh!"    

"Swish, swish, swish..."    

Very soon, the sound of the air being torn could be heard. Following the opening of the Confinement Heaven Pride Advanced War, the Light Curtain of Confinement Tower was sprinkled all over the place. Soon, some figures rose into the sky and rushed into the Light Curtain...    

As soon as they entered the Light Curtain, a tiny beam of light shot out from the Confinement Tower and enveloped the figure of the person who had entered. In a flash, the person disappeared and was sucked into the interior of the pagoda. Then, the person was randomly assigned to fight in pairs...    

At the center of the pagoda, which was also the peak of the pagoda in the Confinement Tower, a number appeared. It was changing according to the number of people who entered the Light Curtain. In just a moment, it had already exceeded ten thousand people.    

In the distance, Lin Cheng clearly saw the figure of Tuo Zhaofeng by his side. Besides the few companions from yesterday, there were a few more people. They were all Half-step Sovereign Cultivation Levels. These guys were talking to Tuo Jiafeng. From time to time, they turned their heads to look at Lin Cheng with curiosity in their eyes. There was even a hint of hostility in their eyes.    

If nothing unexpected happened, these people were most likely the top ranked people in the Confinement Earth List. There was even a possibility that some of them were ranked higher than Tuo Gang.    

Lin Cheng didn't pay any attention to all of this. There was bound to be a battle between him and Tuo Zhaofeng, and his opponent would certainly die in that battle.    

Since he was a man on the verge of death, why should he pay too much attention to him?    

However, the battle between him and Tuo Zhaofeng hadn't arrived yet, so he had to fight two more battles first.    

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Cheng no longer hesitated. With a sway of his shoulder, he instantly dashed out. In the blink of an eye, he had passed through the Light Curtain in Confinement Tower and entered the region covered by the Light Curtain.    

"Swoosh..."    

A weak sound of breaking through the air was heard. A beam of light shot out from the Confinement Tower. Its speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Lin Cheng. It spread out and covered Lin Cheng's body. In a flash, it disappeared without a trace.    

After the scene turned dark, Lin Cheng found himself in a dark and gloomy spatial zone. There was nothing inside. Obviously, this was one of the many small spatial zones in the Confinement Tower.    

At the same time Lin Cheng appeared, a beam of light flashed across his face. A young genius appeared. The Cultivation Level's strength had disappointed Lin Cheng. He was only a Peak Of Great Power...    

As a matter of fact, this was supposed to be the case, although the prosperity of the Confinement Archipelago's martial arts far exceeded the Land of Nine-prefecture's. Even the Land of Nanyang could not compare with it. But as a Junior Heaven Pride... There weren't many people who had broken through to the Half-step Sovereign Stage at such a young age.    

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been only ten supreme elders in the Confinement Archipelago after so many years.    

"You are the blind man who killed Hu Feng?"    

When he saw Lin Cheng, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his facial expression changed, and he subconsciously asked. Then, he quickly stopped talking. He was not a match for Lin Cheng. He was far from being a match for him. He was going to get himself killed.    

"He has met a Half-step Sovereign, and he is even ranked in the top ten of the Earth ranking... Consider me unlucky! "    

He sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. "I admit defeat!"    

"Swish!"    

"Whoosh..."    

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of light shot out from the spatial zone, wrapping around Lin Cheng and the man, and disappeared in a flash.    

Obviously, the news of Lin Cheng killing Hu Feng and replacing the tenth genius of the Earth Rank had already spread. Even the bet of the gambling match between him and Tuo Jiafeng had already been announced. Currently, he was an influential figure. Knowing that he was no match for ___, who would be willing to provoke him for nothing?    

With a flash of light, Lin Cheng's figure appeared outside the pagoda. A token appeared in his hand, and he landed outside the Light Curtain.    

The first battle had ended just like that. Lin Cheng felt depressed as well. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt relieved. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.    

Putting aside the fact that this guy was absolutely no match for him, even if his opponent was a Half-step Sovereign Cultivation Level, he was afraid that he would only choose to admit defeat in the end.    

The reason was very simple. Now, the gambling bet between Lin Cheng and Tuo Jiafeng had been opened. Almost everyone thought that Lin Cheng would die for sure in this battle.    

In other words, he was going to die in the hands of Tuo Jiefeng very soon. Who would still attack a person that they thought was going to die?    

It was meaningless.    

If he lost, it would only bring humiliation to himself. Even if he won, it would mean that he had eliminated Lin Cheng. As such, there would be some variables in the gambling match between him and Tuo Jiafeng in the third match.    

Since he had already been eliminated, how could he have the qualifications to participate in the third match of Advanced War?    

In the past, there had been someone who had deliberately lost in the second match, and used this method to avoid the bet that he wasn't confident in.    

If this was really the case, not only would he offend Tuo Dingfeng after he defeated Lin Cheng, after all, there were countless people outside betting on this bet. If there was a variable in this gambling match that could not be carried out, something big would happen...    

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Cheng became even more depressed.    

Judging from this, the second match would be the same as the first one. He would win without even waiting for the fight to begin. It seemed like he was going to win two matches in vain.    

After half a day, no one else entered the Light Curtain. After waiting for a while, all the battles in the first round of the Ocean Baptism had ended. The number displayed on the top of the pagoda was also fixed at 25,000.    

This meant that the second match of the Advanced War was about to begin...    

"Swoosh!"    

"Swish, swish, swish..."    

Very quickly, the first battle had ended. The victors who had been waiting outside the Light Curtain all flew up and entered the Light Curtain...
