Chapter 230: Great Brawl (Seeking Monthly Pass)
The central area of the huge island.
Above the clearing, a heated battle was underway.
It had been three days of continuous fighting, and it still hadn't ended.
In the attic, on the third floor.
Chu Yuan was sitting quietly; he was growing impatient, wanting the contest of the Wayless Sect to end quickly so he could tidy up and return to East State.
But this contest of the Wayless Sect was dragging on.
Three days had passed, and it still wasn't over.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but send Ao Yu to notify Wu Yue, asking him to speed things up.
"I wonder which place those four disciples will secure."
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
He slightly turned his head to look at a desk behind him.
At that moment, Su Xi was dozing lightly on the desk, clearly exhausted from her mortal constitution.
Watching his disciple sleep, Chu Yuan was increasingly pleased.
Indeed, this was as it should be.
If a useless disciple didn't need to sleep daily, that would really be strange.
This disciple was a sure thing!
This minor realm was secured as well!
Next, he could truly start to consider finding another disciple.
Chu Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought for a while.
Just then.
Ao Yu re-entered from outside.
"Sect Master."
Ao Yu greeted softly.
"How is it going?"
Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Sect Master, Alliance Master Wu said they're moving as fast as possible, and they've now entered the top hundred. The main issue is they simply can't go any faster. It's... it's because of the situation with Zhang Han..."
Ao Yu hesitated, unsure how to continue.
"What's wrong with Zhang Han? Has he been hurt?"
Chu Yuan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, it's just that Zhang Han's battles are lasting way too long. Fights that could be finished in a second, he drags out for several hours, refusing to let his opponent surrender. It's causing too much delay."
Ao Yu could only say it as it was.
He had glanced at Zhang Han's battle and found it utterly nonsensical.
Fighting a being at the Half-Step Tribulation Transcending Realm.
Zhang Han would deploy hundreds of Great Formations, interlocking in complex ways, showing off dazzlingly while his opponent was stunned and completely unresisting.
Yet Zhang Han kept attacking without incapacitating his opponent and making them lose their combat ability.
It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito...
Ao Yu wanted to criticize but didn't know what to say.
"Go and tell him to speed up the fight, just say it's an order from me,"
Chu Yuan said, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, waving his hand.
"Yes, Sect Master."
Ao Yu nodded and left the attic once again.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan just shook his head, too lazy to say more. He glanced at Su Xi, who was still sleeping, and closed his eyes to rest.
...
On the other hand, after Zhang Han learned of his master's command, he didn't dare to dawdle anymore, playing with powerful formations in the air. In a few moves, he dispatched his opponent and advanced to the next round.
Wu Yue, upon seeing Zhang Han stop dragging his feet, also covertly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really at a loss with him.
Zhang Han liked to showcase his grand formations, creating a sort of intimidation through his array skills.
Though effective, it was a massive waste of time.
"You lot, go make the announcement. We'll change it up temporarily, the next round of combat will be a free-for-all. The specific rankings will be determined by whoever stands until the end!"
Wu Yue waved his hand, instructing a group of Elders and Deacons behind him.
"This... Alliance Master, this is not acceptable."
"Exactly, Alliance Master, changing the reward system is one thing, especially since the competition had not started and we could accept the changes, but now that it has already begun and we're about to reach the top hundred, how can we change the system at this time? And to a battle royale, even less so."
"Alliance Master, this is absolutely unacceptable! Unless you kill me today, I will never allow it!!"
Everyone was opposing.
"Senior Chu wants to speed up the completion of the competition; he probably has pressing matters to attend to, so this method was chosen. Do you have objections? Then go take them up with Senior Chu."
With a sigh, Alliance Master Wu spoke.
Upon hearing this.
The crowd went silent for a moment.
Seconds later, one elder after another began to wave their hands dismissively.
"It's fine, it's fine, the system has changed, and we're doing a battle royale."
"If you had said it was Senior Chu's idea from the start, all this fuss wouldn't be necessary."
"Let's go, let's go. I'll go pass on the message."
The crowd immediately dispersed to make the announcement.
This gave Alliance Master Wu a headache.
What's all this?
He's the Alliance Master, after all.
How come Senior Chu's words carry more weight than his own...
The corners of Wu Yue's mouth twitched, but he was too lazy to say anything else.
He needed to go prepare the rewards for the rankings in the competition properly.
Senior Chu was in a hurry to leave, which must be due to something significant.
If he waits for Senior Chu to return to East State, flattering him then would be too late; this competition's rankings and rewards were his last chance.
He must make himself known in front of Senior Chu!
As Wu Yue thought this, he began to recall what treasures in the Cultivators Alliance's treasury could be suitable gifts...
Spirit Stones? That would be an insult to Senior Chu, no, certainly not!
Spiritual Treasures? Forget it, Senior Chu's disciple already has treasures surpassing Spiritual Treasures, so would he lack any? No, that's out of the question.
No, he must find some unique treasures instead.
The Wayless Sect is built on the Ancient Battlefield, right...
The Ancient Battlefield must be filled with malevolent energy...
The rewards must be prepared with that in mind.
If he could help Senior Chu eliminate this issue, surely Senior Chu would remember him.
Wu Yue began scheming.
He pondered over what within the Cultivators Alliance could eliminate malevolent energy.

...
Meanwhile.
In the center of the island, upon the clearing surrounded by numerous arrays.
Ye Luo and the other three had also received the notification that the selection for the remaining top hundred would occur via a battle royale. The strongest would be ranked first, while the ranks of others would be determined by a combination of 'comprehensive factors' such as combat record, and of course, the origin of their Sect was one of these factors.
Upon learning of this change in the mechanism.
They instantly felt the change in the gazes of the people around them.
If things went as expected, almost everyone was staring in their direction.
"This is going to be interesting. It looks like we're up for a four against ninety-six situation now."
Ye Luo slightly narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
Their performance had been too spectacular, putting enormous pressure on the other disciples.
Changing to a battle royale probably meant that the disciples from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect and the numerous Holy Land Disciples would mainly focus on eliminating the four of them, launching fierce attacks.
"Who the hell suggested changing the system? That's just screwing people over."
Su Qianyuan couldn't help but complain.
"Sect Master, our Sect Master said he wanted to end the competition quickly, so that's why the change."
Squatting to the side and not yet departed, Ao Yu spoke quietly.
"Cough, it's a good change. It's just ninety-six people, I'll go first!"
Immediately, Su Qianyuan changed his tune, acting as if he didn't care about the others at all.
"Enough with the nonsense. This battle royale will probably start soon."
Ye Luo waved his hand to get Su Qianyuan to be serious, and as he watched a deacon flying towards them, he had a hunch that the battle royale was about to begin...
