The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1021: Narrow Encounter Between Rivals

The four fan-shaped arenas moved on their own with a thunderous roar, dividing into four sides.

Many young juniors present watched with faces filled with amazement.

This type of mechanical arena, it was their first time seeing it.

In a modern city, there might be electronic or smart controls to separate them, which would be understandable.

But, this is the ruins of Tianxiang Ancient City, on Tianxiang Island, normally a desolate place.

These young juniors were witnessing such a scene for the first time.

It can only be said that the things passed down in Earth’s Cultivation World are far too few.

”Are you all ready?”

As the four fan-shaped arenas were in position, Huang Jiannsheng, standing at the side, glanced around the people below and then loudly asked.

Swoosh~

The numerous young men and women who had been sitting below adjusting their breath and cultivating all stood up one after another, faces either excited and thrilled or eager to try, filled with anticipation.

”120 people from Eastern Emperor Pillar No.1, onto the southwest arena... 135 people from Eastern Emperor Pillar No.2, onto the southeast arena... 110 people from Eastern Emperor Pillar No.3, onto the northeast arena... 140 people from Eastern Emperor Pillar No.4, onto the northwest arena...”

Pointing to the four arenas behind him, Huang Jiannsheng shouted loudly to the many young men and women below: ”As long as there’s no malicious harming of lives, no matter what method you use, as long as you can stay on the arena, you’ll advance! Everyone, come up!”

Swoosh swoosh~

With Huang Jiannsheng’s words falling, many people rushed towards the arenas, flying and leaping onto them.

After settling down, many unfamiliar people, or those who were inherently adversarial with grievances, glanced at each other with wary and cold looks.

Below.

Yun Qingwan hadn’t moved yet.

She looked somewhat nervous, her facial expression changing, her hands continuously intertwined.

Not to mention chaotic battles like these, Yun Qingwan hadn’t even experienced true fights or clashes with fierce beasts.

Previously, she was only at the Qi Refining First Level, not only was her cultivation of True Qi very weak, but she hadn’t practiced any combat techniques. Moreover, she was just a young girl by nature, inherently kind-hearted, and wouldn’t easily engage in fights.

Thus.

The scene before her caused her to feel apprehensive to some extent.

”Master, Second Master... Can I... Can I do it?”

Yun Qingwan was at a loss, overly tense.

”Now, what you need to do is step onto the arena, and when someone attacks you, use the combat technique your Second Master taught you earlier to knock them away!”

Lin Tian’s face became serious, and he said to Yun Qingwan in a deep voice: ”The only thing you should think about is defeating these people in front of you!”

”Yes, Qingwan, listen to your Second Master!”

Ye Lan also encouraged from the side.

Since Yun Qingwan’s comprehension was tested to be at the Blue Grade under Lin Tian’s guidance, Ye Lan had already become extremely trusting in Lin Tian’s words.

Previously, when Lin Tian said Yun Qingwan could take the first place in the Martial Arts Conference, she dared not even think about it, merely treating it as a joke and encouragement for Yun Qingwan.

But now, she began to have some anticipation in her heart.

Perhaps Yun Qingwan could really defeat a genius like Bu Sheng and seize the crown.

”Then... Second Master, what if I accidentally injure someone?”

Yun Qingwan trembled in her voice, speaking with nervousness.

”Injure? Then just injure them!”

Lin Tian frowned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: ”Think about your past, how much ridicule and injustice have you endured from those people? If you are knocked down the arena, think about their faces. If I hadn’t appeared, consider the fate of your master afterward. Perhaps he’d soon be annexed by the Big Dipper Sect or others! You might become someone else’s woman, a lifelong torment in the days of being ravaged... The Cultivation World is a complete jungle law world, it’s either you die or I survive! Most importantly, this path is about ’dead fellow daoist, not dead poor daoist!’ Remember, hide your kindness to survive in the Cultivation World...”

Yun Qingwan, standing before him, was too kind-hearted, a pure jade without any experience, not knowing the dangers of human nature.

And Yun Qingwan bit her lip, nodded heavily, and said: ”Second Master, I understand!”

”The Yellow Spirit Palm I taught you earlier, practice it well in the future! Combine it with the two sets of combat techniques I just gave you, as long as it’s not Foundation Establishment, no one can defeat you! Go up!”

Lin Tian nodded slightly, once again advising and encouraging Yun Qingwan.

As Yun Qingwan followed and stepped onto the arena, everyone else had already taken their positions.

”Hope you won’t voluntarily jump down to admit defeat!”

Seeing Yun Qingwan standing in the corner of the arena, looking tense, Wu Danhong stealthily moved forward and said to her with a cold smile.

Yun Qingwan’s expression changed, turning pale, and instinctively stepped back a few steps, showing great fear.

After all, Wu Danhong was the Heaven’s Chosen Girl among recent rising stars, a top genius of East Continent. In the past, Yun Qingwan had heard Master Ye Lan mention Sikong Ping and Wu Danhong of River God Sect, taking them as examples.

Now facing Wu Danhong, Yun Qingwan instinctively feared, apprehensive at heart.

”Tch, pathetic!”

Seeing Yun Qingwan like this, Wu Danhong couldn’t help but sneer as the shock from Yun Qingwan’s earlier comprehension test gradually eased.

Very soon.

Huang Jiannsheng turned around, glanced at the four groups of young men and women on the four arenas, and then shouted: ”Begin!”

Boom~

Bam bam~

Many people on the arena had long been prepared, poised to strike, and with Huang Jiannsheng’s words, the battle erupted instantly.

Arena melee is the most straightforward, simple, and intense form of combat, also greatly tests one’s cultivation, actual combat, temperament, and more.

And as the sound of muffled impacts continued to come, many people were already flying out of the arena.

They merely suffered minor injuries, but they were all eliminated.

Arena Number One.

Yun Qingwan stared at the surging True Qi and the combat techniques in the air, already petrified, standing dazed in the corner.

”Trash, you still dare to stay up there!”

Suddenly, mocking laughter came from the side, as Wu Danhong stepped over.

Yun Qingwan’s face changed dramatically, retreating again, but she stepped into the void and began to fall.

But a jade-like hand suddenly caught her.

”Ah... Senior Sister Hee... thank you!”

Yun Qingwan, pulled back to safety, quickly expressed her gratitude after seeing clearly who had saved her.

At that moment, she thought she was going to be eliminated.

”Hee Lingxuan, what do you mean by this!”

Wu Danhong’s face darkened as she spoke sharply.

”Nothing at all!”

The one who had grabbed Yun Qingwan was none other than Hee Lingxuan, the daughter of Tianyang Sect Master Hee Xuan. She protected Yun Qingwan behind her, glaring coldly at Wu Danhong, ”If you want to target her, you’ll have to get past me first! If it really comes to a fight, it’s uncertain who will go down! Even if I give up the spot for Sword Saint Mountain, I, Hee Lingxuan, will fight you!”

Regarding Sword Saint Mountain, Hee Lingxuan had a great desire.

But now, Yun Qingwan was Lin Tian’s disciple, and she deeply understood what kind of existence Lin Tian was.

Entering Sword Saint Mountain wasn’t as good as befriending Lin Tian because going there didn’t guarantee you could soar to success.

Also, Lin Tian had helped her parents. She already knew about the incident when Hee Xuan and Xiao Zihan encountered Lin Tian in Bin City.

Therefore, she could not sit idly by regarding Yun Qingwan.

”Fine!”

Wu Danhong’s expression turned extremely unpleasant, as she sneered and looked at Yun Qingwan, ”Consider yourself lucky!”

After saying that, Wu Danhong walked away.

”Senior Sister Hee, thank you!”

Yun Qingwan once again thanked Hee Lingxuan.

”You’re just too soft-hearted!”

Hee Lingxuan shook her head and sighed.

As time passed, the chaos in the arena rapidly reached a fever pitch.

Hee Lingxuan, a rising star and an outstanding genius, was there guarding Yun Qingwan, making most others hesitant to approach them.

Soon, only fifty people remained on each of the four arenas.

Exactly, the chaos had determined the top two hundred, and each team on the Eastern Emperor Pillar was reduced to just fifty people left!

The eliminated ones walked away dejectedly, leaving behind the exhilarated and proud young boys and girls on the arena.

However, during this time, Wu Danhong and many others continuously mocked Yun Qingwan, saying that the so-called Blue Grade genius was advancing only with someone’s protection.

”Next, there’s the elimination by drawing lots! This is the simplest and most direct, as well as being extremely fair, here it tests your real strength! Of course, there’s also a bit of luck involved...”

Huang Jiannsheng let everyone off the arena and had the arena close up, then loudly announced, ”Next, no more group divisions! We’ll draw lots directly! Two hundred lots, matched front to back for battles, meaning, lot number 1 against lot number 200, and so on... everyone come over!”

This time, there was no chance for the participants to make adjustments, and the drawing of lots proceeded directly.

A quarter of an hour later, the drawing quickly concluded.

Yun Qingwan received her lot number and returned to Lin Tian and the others, ”Master, Second Master, I... I have number 180!”

”That means, your opponent is number 20!”

Lin Tian nodded slightly, ”Sit and wait! As for earlier... I’m a bit disappointed... If not for Hee Lingxuan, you could have left directly...”

”Second Master... I...”

Yun Qingwan’s expression changed, and she bowed her head in grievance.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, ”Remember, don’t hesitate, use what I taught you to defeat your opponent!”

Meanwhile, someone on the arena had already started battling.

The ways the younger generations were fighting, along with their combat techniques, were extremely simple, brutal, and direct, resulting in many being quickly eliminated.

During this period, some even chose to directly give up.

”Number 20, come on stage!”

As someone descended triumphantly from the arena, Huang Jiannsheng once again called out loudly.

From the crowd, Wu Danhong leaped onto the arena.

She looked around below, her face full of arrogance.

As long as she wasn’t up against a genius of a rising star, Wu Danhong was confident she could defeat her opponent.

”Number 180, come on stage!”

Huang Jiannsheng then loudly announced again.

Upon seeing Wu Danhong go up, Yun Qingwan’s expression changed slightly.

But, recalling Lin Tian’s earlier words, she bit her lip and stood up.

”Heh, what a narrow path! This time, let’s see who can protect you!”

Seeing Yun Qingwan stand up, Wu Danhong’s eyes gleamed with a fierce and mocking glint.

And below, the onlookers showed expressions of excitement, eager to watch the spectacle.
