Chapter 29 - Finals(3)

The array disk in Jun's hand was a mortal grade high-level array that he bought from the system for only 15 tokens. 

[Spirit Sealing Array Disk (Mortal grade high-level: This array disk is able to seal 10% power of spirit users in a range of a thousand meters. Through this array disk, you can directly utilize the array without needing to learn the array. However, it consumes more spirit stones to operate it.] 

Unlike [Illusory Space Array], this array disk does not have an array core. That's why, it could only seal 10% power of spirit users. 

"This shop owner Jun is really smart." A female elder from Nine Yin palace said.

Her name was Ji Qian, an outer sect elder of Nine Yin Palace. 

Jun's decision to use this array as a reward for the battle arena was a good idea. 

That's because [Spirit Sealing Array] isn't all that impressive in arrays of the same grade. 

However, in a month's time, the beast wave will arrive, that's why an array like this one would be pretty useful. 

If it was any other time, nobody would have been excited after seeing this array.

Manager Chen nodded in agreement, "As expected of someone from Immortal World." 

"He's from the immortal world?" Ji Qian was surprised. 

"There's nothing surprising about it. Many of the banished disciples, come to this place to first stabilize themselves in the mortal world." 

Just like Jun, there are many banished immortals on Golden Moon Island. 

Because of its location and spirit cave, which provides the island with various resources. As well as because this place is governed by the Immortal Order. 

Looking at everyone's surprise expression Jun felt that those 15 tokens were worth it. "This is Spirit Sealing Array. I don't think I need to explain much about this array. Hence, I will not waste your time any longer." 

Jun stored the array disk back in his storage ring and pointed his hand toward a giant door. "Please welcome, our top 5 contestants." 

All the top 5 contestants entered through the door, grabbing everyone's attention. 

Without delay, four contestants were transported in the array, while Hu Yaqi was left behind. 

The reason why he was not transported to the Illusory world was because as a first rank, he has the privilege to not directly advance to the final match. 

Inside the array, Mao Li was facing against Chen Yanhong, while Pei Hou was facing against Li Jaihao. 

Inside the Illusory World...

"So, you are Chen Yanhong. I have heard about your impressive deeds." Mao Li said with a smile. 

"Alright." Cheng Yanhong replied indifferently. 

"Don't feel bad if you lose today. I will treat you to dinner to make up for it. How about going to White Lotus Pavilion?" 

Chen Yanhong said nothing and ignored Mao Li.

Looking at Chen Yanhong's indifferent expression Mao Li felt insulted. 

Just as he was about to say something, the countdown started.

1...

2...

3... 

Start!

"It's good to be proud of your abilities. However, you should remember that there is always a bigger fish..." Before Mao Li could finish, a sharp sword slashed towards his neck. 

With every second that passed, the sword seemed to come closer, but Mao Li was unable to move. 

He was desperately trying to dodge, nevertheless, his efforts were futile. 

In the next second, Chen Yanhong's sword smoothly beheaded Mao Li. 

[Congratulations, Participant Chen Yanhong has advanced to the next match.] 

Everyone was silent, it ended just like that. 

"What happened just now? That's it? I thought Mao Li was going to win." A spectator exclaimed in surprise. 

"I know the technique Chen Yanhong used just now. It was a special binding technique of the Chen family, it looks like she has reached greater mastery in it." 

"Mao Li was right, there's always a bigger fish in the vast ocean." 

This unexpected turn of events made the match even more interesting. 

"It looks like your prediction was wrong Zhenyi." Jun chuckled as he looked at pale-faced Hua Zhenyi. 

"It seems like I am still incompetent." Hua Zhenyi replied with disappointment in her eyes. 

"You didn't bet on Mao Li winning. Did you?" 

"Actually, I did bet 50 spirit stones on Mao Li." Hua Zhenyi said with her head lowered. 

For Jun, 50 Spirit Stones wasn't all that big of a deal. But, for Hua Zhenyi it was a big amount. 

"Well, it's too late to regret now. We can't turn back time after all." Jun said. 

A few moments later, Pei Huo also won against her opponent. 

However, unlike Chen Yanhong, Pei Hou struggled to win the match. 

Which was because she was hiding her true abilities. Otherwise, with Pei Hou's power, it wouldn't be too much to win the match in a single strike. 

Next, it was the match between Pei Hou and Chen Yanhong. 

Two cold beauties, who don't speak much were standing in front of each other, without uttering a single word. 

1...

2... 

3... 

Start! 

As soon as the match started, Chen Yanhong used her Ocean Binding Technique to trap Pei Hou. 

In the next moment, Pei Hou swiftly dodged the binding technique and glared at Chen Yanhong. 

Chen Yanhong felt a lingering fear from Pei Hou's glare and took a few steps back. 

Looking at Chen Yanhong's unusual behavior, Manager Chen frowned. 

"What's wrong with that disciple of your sect?" Manager Chen asked, looking at Elder Ji Qian. 

"Nothing's wrong with her, she is just too monstrous for her peers." Elder Ji Qian didn't say anything else and looked at Pei Hou with a proud expression. 

Back to the match, Pei Hou's surroundings suddenly started to change.

In the next second, greenery around the Illusory World was replaced by a thick layer of ice. 

In the freezing weather, Pei Hou was standing straight with her spear pointed towards Chen Yanhong with a cold expression. 

"You... you are not too bad." Pei Hou said and in the next moment, she aimed her spear towards Chen Yanhong. 

As soon as the spear was shot towards Chen Yanhong, time seemed to have slowed down. 

Chen Yanhong's pupils constricted, as the spear got closer to her. 

Is that how it feels before death? She asked herself. 

Shush! 

Pei Hou's spear made a hole in Chen Yanhong's stomach. 

Thump! Chen Yanhong's lifeless body dropped to the ground, eventually turning into dust.

This match had surprised everyone, to the point that no one dared to speak. 

"I know her, she is Pei Hou, the youngest disciple of Nine Yin Palace's sect leader. Rumor has it that she was born with a Heaven-grade spiritual root and Nine Yin Physique." A spectator soon recognized Pei Hou. 

"Heaven grade and a special physique? Is she the adopted daughter of God of Winter?" 

"I even heard that she will become the next sect leader of Nine Yin Palace." 

"Isn't that obvious? You retard!" 

As soon as the match finished, all kinds of rumors about Pei Hou started to circulate among the spectators.
