Chapter 99: Zhu Zhuyun, the Outstanding One.
After eating, Zhu Zhuyun sat down to calm her breathing, but something seemed to be getting off her feet. It was as if she was drained of energy, her strength dwindling. She clenched her fists, her arms aching. She gritted her teeth and hurriedly opened the supply box.
Could this have been tampered with? Among the more than 200 participating soul masters, only a few were skilled in the use of poison, and most were eliminated from the start. Zhu Zhuyun hadn't even considered guarding against them.
Bang!
The lock on the door was punched through, and the door creaked open.
Dugu Yan said with a smile, "How are they, Zhu Zhuyun? Are my snake venom buns delicious? Are they authentic?"
Zhu Zhuyun's breathing quickened, her brow furrowed, her voluptuous figure trembling and heaving. She angrily exclaimed, "Despicable! You'd resort to such tactics!"
Dugu Yan sneered, "It all depends on your ability. How can you call me despicable?
I've been watching you for a long time. If I could get even one-fifth of your score, I'd surely rank near the top. Thank you!"
Zhu Zhuyun glanced behind her. No one was there, and no footsteps were heard. She must have come alone. Breaking out quickly still offered a chance; the longer they delayed, the worse it would be.
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing separated. Early on, killing Light Demons was the most cost-effective way to gain points. Later on, she realized defeating other players earned points faster, so she separated from them.
Zhu Zhuyun exerted her strength with a sudden push. Her soul power was depleted, and she could only resort to simple punches and kicks, charging at Dugu Yan at full speed.
Dugu Yan smiled faintly. "You've been poisoned by me, and you still want to fight me?"
Zhu Zhuyun's speed seemed as slow as a snail to her eyes. She launched a kick at her!
Bang!
It hit her in the stomach, and she was immediately kicked back.
Bang!
Zhu Zhuyun's back slammed against the wall. Pain raged through her body, and her eyes filled with bloodshot. She hated the venomous snake woman to the core.
"I've decided not to use poison anymore. I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Dugu Yan smiled wickedly, and with the swiftness of a demon, she approached Zhu Zhuyun.
Bang!
Zhu Zhuyun pulled herself up, still exhausted, but she fought with all her might. But after just one round, she was knocked to the ground by Dugu Yan, who was not very skilled in fighting.
Bang!
As Zhu Zhuyun fell to the ground, the two large mounds on her chest acted as a cushion, giving her a slight bounce.
But the pain was intense. This was the most vulnerable part of her body, and the fall was unbearable.
Dugu Yan delivered another brutal beating, and Zhu Zhuyun was eliminated.
Outside the Gate of Light, with only two hours remaining until the end of the competition, the families of the contestants were practically all waiting.
Whoosh!
The severely injured Zhu Zhuyun was teleported out, and the Netherworld Duke, Davis, and the others immediately rushed over.
"Medical team, come quickly!" Davis roared!
The Netherworld Duke briefly examined her injuries; they were minor flesh wounds, but no damage to her heart meridians. She would recover in a few days.
He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was second on the leaderboard, a thoughtful thought.
Immediately, the Spirit Hall medical team arrived and carried her away!
On the big screen, Zhu Zhuyun's points were highest, at 2132, the highest of all.
After her teleportation, Dugu Yan, who was in the middle, saw her points soar, reaching 1819, placing her in third place. Zhu Zhuqing was second with 2026 points.
Zhu Zhuyun was 106 points ahead of the second-placed Zhu Zhuqing.
With the final two hours approaching, the remaining sixty-odd people engaged in a frantic battle. It was too late to kill the Light Demon now; it would be quicker to eliminate the other contestants.
Another hour passed, and the number of people in the City of Light plummeted to thirty.
The final hour saw relentless fighting.
At the final minute, only eleven people remained in the City of Light.
But the top three remained unchanged. Zhu Zhuyun was eliminated, and Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing had gone into hiding. They already had high scores, so there was no need to engage in a chaotic battle.
Only those barefoot, unfazed by the lower scores of those wearing shoes, would enter a chaotic battle to try to gain a chance.
They would only put themselves in danger.
Five, four, three, two, one!
The second round, the fierce competition was over!
The points were tallied, and the three of them remained in the top three.
Meng Yiran, with 1497 points, ranked 11th.
Ning Rongrong, with 321 points, ranked 131st.
Dong Hui, with 99 points, ranked 199th.
Yang Mingxin, with 98 points, ranked 200th.
The top twenty advanced to the Fighting Spirit Tournament, while the rest were eliminated.
Ning Rongrong was a little confused. "I'm so bad!" she thought, feeling even more wronged. "They both made it into the top three. If I hadn't been eliminated, wouldn't I have been in the top ten with them?"
"Humph, Zhuqing is so easy to talk to."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone from the City of Light was teleported out. Most of the girls were covered in wounds, but they had all changed into new clothes. During the chaotic fight inside, they had no soul power left, so they could only rely on tearing their clothes to attack their opponents.
The host, Doudou, said, "Congratulations everyone on completing the second round. You can rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, the final round of this tournament, the Soul Fighting Tournament, will be held!
Contestants ranked after the 20th place, please go to the Spirit Hall to claim your participation prizes. Thank you all for coming!
Also, after the Soul Fighting Tournament, the top 20 will receive a promotion gift pack! Don't forget."
Ning Rongrong said, "Dad, let's go claim the prizes! I want to see what kind of participation prizes they'll give out!"
The twenty contestants who had arrived went to the Spirit Hall to claim their prizes.
After waiting for a while, they saw several men pushing carts. Leading them was none other than Liu Yang, the chief of Xigua Village!
Liu Yang said with a chuckle, "Hey, just unload them here! These emerald melons can fetch ten gold soul coins each in other places!"
The contestants who came to receive their prizes looked at each other in bewilderment. A watermelon for participation?
This was something the Spirit Hall had ordered from Watermelon Village.
Ning Rongrong complained a bit, but she still carried the watermelon away. This watermelon is quite tasty, and it's free anyway, so why not?
If this princess didn't like it, I would have been furious.
But since it's delicious, I'll let it go.
Xiaoqing and Xiaoli were in charge of distributing the watermelons. Xiaoqing said, "Those who want to receive the watermelons, line up, one by one!"
Xia Li received the comprehensive battle report of the fierce competition. He had expected a dark horse, but it turned out to be the same few familiar faces.
He had expected a chaotic competition, but Zhu Zhuyun stood out.
Perhaps the next competition will be more lively.
The next day, after a day of rest, the final fighting spirit competition began.
