Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 248

A few minutes ago, while Wang Wei and Wu Hong were distracted talking to one another, headmaster Bai Han appeared in front of all the people watching the tournament. He first swore to Heavenly Dao and his Own Dao that the Academy has nothing to do with Fan Li’s affairs, then he started introducing the rules of the tournament.

"Due to the fact that the Professional Champions are not allowed in the top 30 in this year’s tournament, the rules are a little different. There are currently 1920 participants in the Final Round.

"Each participant will face a randomly selected opponent. The winner will move on to the next round, while the loser will be eliminated. This process will continue until the top 30 Heaven Chosen is selected.

"Now, let the Final Round of the Heaven Chosen Selection Trial Begins."

After Bai Han made the announcement, he returned to the floating booth of the Emperor Enlightening Academy with all the other teachers. During the process, he started thinking to himself:

’Hopefully, this move can buy some breathing room for the Academy. As for the Qi of Calamity, it is obvious that Heavenly Dao is using my projected hatred for Wang Wei to ensure that I become his enemy. However, as long as I manage to prevent him from entering the Secret Realm of the Dao Tablets, I can find a way to remove it.’

After thinking about this, Bai Han sighed deeply: ’If I still had my original body with my father’s protection, I would never be so easily affected by Qi of Calamity. Well, there is no need to lament about the past now. Since I have decided to completely cut off my past, then I should have no regrets.’

After Bai Han returned to his booth, the majestic fighting ring in the middle of the large stadium was divided into many different rings. In each ring, there was a projected screen made of arrays that showed two numbers--which represent the participants chosen to fight one another as they all had to randomly choose a number before the Final Round began.

The audience surrounding the fighting rings had a giant projected screen that showed all the battles simultaneously, so that they could either watch everyone at once, or focus on a particular participant.

All the people watching the tournament remotely also had similar divided screens like the members of the audiences.

Inside the floating booths, each person had their own personal divided screen with all the participants. However, this particular one had the ability to only show one match based on the choice of the user.

While Wu Hong and Wang Wei were talking, they ignored the screen as they were too focused on their discussion--even when Li Jun’s fight began.

Holding his trusted spear, Li Jun walked to one of the fighting rings after his name was chosen. After only waiting for a few seconds, his opponent also appeared in front of him; it was a beautiful girl with a blue dress and a shy look on her face. However, despite her appearance, she had a firm determination in her eyes.

Taking a brief moment to recall all the information he read about all the participants of this tournament, he recognized her as a genius from a Holy Land in the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent.

Li Jun secretly sighed as he acknowledged that she was either very lucky or very talented to reach the Final Round based on her background. Nevertheless, this will not change the fact that she had reached the end of the road after meeting him.

His big brother had given him a mission to get one of the Top 30 spots, and nothing or no one could stop him from fulfilling his mission. So, as soon as the battle began, Li Jun did not say anything to his opponent; he directly attacked her.

Holding his spear in his hand, Li Jun threw it with all of his strength, turning it into a red light that flew straight to the Holy Land genius. However, she was not to be underestimated. As a person who made it to the Final Round, she was one of the people who fought against the Seeded-Players and survived. Although she no longer had the advantage of large numbers, she would not give up so easily.

So, with a wave of her hand, a group of metal gates appeared in front of her as a form of protection. Unfortunately, the gates could only stop the spear for a brief moment before they were pierced one by one.

Fortunately, she only needed this brief pause to move out of the way of the spear, thus dodging the attack.

After seeing this, Li Jun made a grabbing motion with his hand, then his spear disappeared from the distance before appearing in his hand. Then, he made a circular motion with the spear while holding it with one hand.
