Free Web NovelChapter 624: Chapter 357: Ranking Tournament of a Thousand (Part 2)
Thor couldn’t even see through it.
Especially that figure on the special arena number one.
"The Empire’s Eldest Princess!"
Listening to the sounds around, Thor couldn’t help but whisper.
Then after the other party walked down from the arena, his figure also left from here.
Such an existence has little to do with him for the time being.
Also not something he can currently reach.
He is very powerful.
But the Divine Domain and the Sky Knight are different.
Among the Sky Knights, his strength as a Sky Knight is enough to rival, even defeat, the Holy Sanctuary, but in the Divine Domain.
With his current strength, at most, he can compete with a Middle-tier Divine Domain; defeating them would be difficult, let alone a High-tier Divine Domain.
And the Gods.
That’s not even on the same level of existence.
After all, the Divine Domain is just a mortal about to step into godhood.
Completely incomparable to the Deities.
Even a Lower-Rank God can easily take on any High-tier Divine Domain.
This is almost an insurmountable gap.
Thor is well aware of this.
So his goal is to enter the top one hundred.
Not to take first place.
Of course, even the top one hundred is no joke in terms of difficulty.
Time slowly passes.
An hour gradually went by.
Soon, the second wave of the third round began.
Compared to the first wave, the second wave clearly saw some differences.
Over a thousand arenas vanished.
One hundred arenas remained on the stage.
Simultaneously, a mechanical voice echoed in the minds of all those remaining.
It was about the rules of this second wave of competition.
The rules for the second wave are simple: one hundred arenas, one hundred spots, twelve hours—stay on the arena continuously or defeat four opponents in a row to advance.
After carefully reading the competition rules, Thor couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
Compared to the previous allocation, these new competition rules are undeniably much more brutal and intense.
Defeating four opponents isn’t that easy, especially when it has to be within twelve hours.
With this, when to go up and when to choose is extremely important.
Once you’re up there, even if you defeat the opponent that day, the one who challenges you thereafter may not be someone you are confident to beat. If you fail, you have to win four matches again.
This difficulty is not ordinary.
After all, those who dare to challenge you after you defeat an opponent generally have some confidence, at least not thinking they will lose to you before making a challenge.
As for staying continuously on the arena.
Being able to stay on the arena, without being challenged, is itself a proof of strength.
Only being strong enough makes others dare not to challenge you.
Frowning slightly.
Thor is in deep thought.
At the same time, others are also pondering.
For a while, no one stepped onto the arena.
But this Silence didn’t last long.
Soon a graceful figure landed on the first arena.
With the appearance of the figure, exclamations arose, as that figure was clearly the Empire’s Eldest Princess.
And at the moment the Empire’s Eldest Princess moved, figures likewise descended onto the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth arenas. The appearance of the ten people immediately caused the crowd to become clamorous again; clearly, these ten are all prominent figures.
But just when everyone was waiting for someone to enter the eleventh arena.
A figure clad in silver-white armor directly descended onto the first arena.
"Your Highness Princess, please enlighten me."
The man in silver-white armor spoke with a light laugh.
"You are not my opponent!"
A cold female voice sounded, and the Empire’s Eldest Princess glanced at the man in silver-white armor.
"How would you know if you don’t try?"
The man in silver-white armor chuckled, drawing the broadsword from his back with his right hand.
Such a scene undoubtedly drew quite a lot of exclamations.
Clearly, this man clad in silver-white armor is not an ordinary person either.
Thor vaguely heard some.
However, he only glanced and didn’t pay much attention.
That place is still too far from where he currently stands.
Right now, what matters most to him is how to pass the second wave of the competition next.
Rushing onto the stage is obviously inappropriate.
If not careful, he might run into some big shot.
But if he waits until the end, he might not get another chance.
Thoughts began to turn.
Ideas intertwined.
And the arenas quickly started being occupied.
Some were cautious, thoughtful, while others were extremely confident.
Quickly, the arenas reached the seventieths.
The remaining twenty-some arenas also began to be gradually occupied by people.
Suddenly, Thor noticed a figure.
His eyes lit up.
His figure took a step forward.
Instantly vanished from the original spot.
At the location of arena ninety-three.
A figure had just stood still when he suddenly found another figure appeared in front of him.
"Thor Dressrosa, please enlighten me!"
Thor’s voice rang out, his gaze fixed on the figure in front of him.
This figure he was very familiar with, who had just eliminated Reine.
The reason Thor acted immediately was that he knew this opponent’s strength.
Compared to others, this person’s strength as a Knight was barely at the Divine Domain level, weaker than the burly man he had recently defeated.
This was undoubtedly the best target.
Defeating him wouldn’t even require exposing too many techniques.
In his contemplation, Thor gradually grasped the key to this competition.
That is to conceal his techniques as much as possible.
Only by doing so could he win four consecutive rounds.
Otherwise, exposing everything would almost certainly lead to failure.
Among thousands of students, there are not many who are genuinely confident in staying for twelve hours or defeating four students.
The others must learn to keep their territory.
Upon hearing Thor’s words, the figure across from him was initially stunned, then his expression became slightly unpleasant.
Just as he got onto the stage, there weren’t many positions left. Yet Thor directly picked him, clearly seeing him as weak.
"Please enlighten me!"
A low voice responded, he didn’t even care to announce his name at this point.
Domain Power spread out.
An invisible wind swept.
The Wind Domain spread.
Thor smiled without saying anything.
In the next moment, the Thunder Domain extended.
This time, however, he didn’t fully unleash the Thunder Domain but suppressed it to a level similar to his opponent’s.
This time he had to win, but he couldn’t win too easily.
Otherwise, it would be hard to bait out challengers.
Boom.
Rumble.
Their domains clashed again.
Unlike before, the domains were directly at a standstill in the distance.
Upon seeing this, the originally grim-looking opponent’s face slightly relaxed, a cold smile on his lips.
Thor, however, didn’t pay much attention. At this moment, he tried to suppress his strength to the same level as his opponent and began the battle.
Their fight immediately caught the attention of many spectators.
And as gazes turned to the two of them.
Many people’s eyes lit up.
Thor and his opponent’s strength wasn’t strong, and no matter who wins, it seemed like a good choice.
Of course, this did not include those who had previously watched Thor fight.
Some who saw Thor fight seemed lost in thought.
Those who could enter Canaan Academy were not fools. Upon realizing Thor was intentionally hiding his strength, they quickly grasped the key point.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Thor.
The battle continued relentlessly.
After dragging on for almost half an hour, Thor finally struggled to defeat his opponent.
At this moment, among the one hundred arenas.
Aside from a few in the front row, battles had commenced across them.
Even at Thor’s location, after he struggled to defeat his opponent, someone couldn’t hold back and began to act.
Thor barely caught his breath when a figure suddenly appeared just like he had before.
"Jacob Copeland, please enlighten me!"
The voice echoed.
"Thor Dressrosa, please enlighten me!"
