Champions emerge one by one

* Swoosh! *

There was roar of a hammer made of the strange red iron as it flew towards a few unfortunate disciples. Some of them managed to dodge but some of them were hit by the huge shaft of the two meter long hammer as they were flung into the force field. As soon as they collided with the force field, they were thrown out of the Ring and were carried to the medical bay by the robots.

the person swinging the hammer was a big fat disciple wearing a thick red armour. It looked as if a small tank was swiping the turret left and right and sending desciples flying. He was roaring while swinging his hammer as his hands were releasing dark grey energy which was powering up his swings. the hammer was so fast that even when the desciples started to counter it's mught by combining forces, it still shattered their defense and sent them flying.

In this round, the big fat guy won by a landslide. there was another girl who was really good at Healing and had a sword as main weapon. whenever she was injured, she would heal herself and infuse the green spiritual force into her sword. Her sword was really deadly as even the slightest cut would leave the dark green energy on the disciples body.

The energy wasn't harmful by itself but the girl was also infusing her spiritual force into the ground, which would make the grass grow into Monstrous plants that would smell this energy and attack whichever disciple was affected. the plants although attracted by this energy, they never attacked the girl. She was clearly onto a win in this round.

There was also a strong boy who was a spirit master who was fighting really well with his body covered in electricity. He would run around the battlefield and grab anyone that tried to attack him with his hands. He would give them electric shocks which would make the opponents paralyzed for few good minutes which would be considered their defeat as the robots would escort the defeated opponent out one by one.

Suddenly a desciple in black robe released a strange black arrow towards this disciple. Ace was enjoying his coffee as the alarm in his lab went off. Before the arrow could make a hit, The plasma Reaper cannon installed on top of the mountain fired three rounds. The first round hit the arrow which destroyed the strange arrow midair and other two shots landed on the black robed disciple.

*Swoosh * * Booom! *

There was a loud sound and it sounded as if a sword had cut through thick mass. As the smoke cleared, there was headless corpse standing at the spot where the black robed disciple was at and there was another hole in his chest where his heart was. the people watching were in uproar as they looked at the scene as the calm voice of sector lord sounded from the big screen.

" No need to panic, my creations detected that there was someone using higher level energy then their allowed level. The person wasn't a rank 5 spirit master but a rank 7 spirit master. He was here to assasinate. I urge all the participants to refrain from doing Life threatening attacks because my creations would instantly obliterate those who attempts to do so. Thank you and continue.

As the participants looked at this scene, they were terrified and also relieved. Some were regretful that they won't be able to kill their enemies or targets while some were assured of their safety. More then that, all of them were now aware of Sector lord's powers. Even the four leaders started taking everything seriously and stopped the attempts to attack the sector lord or targeting other geniuses of other sects for the time being.

There were many examples after many rounds where there was a clear winner among all the disciples and there were also some examples of the disciples being divided into a few groups and the groups fighting it out with each other. there would be only few disciples left at the end as some of them would betray one another to take the first place or they would stop fighting.

there was no rule that stated that at the end of the match, only one disciple needs to survive, but there was a rule that stated that among the 5 stages only five disciples would be accepted if there were five disciples left at the end of the match then they would be directly accepted into top 1000, but if there were more than 5 then the arena would be opened up as the disciples who did not want to fight each other would have to fight the champions of the other arenas. if they combine the forces and manage to defeat appropriate amount of Opponents so that only the five people were left at the end of the match then they can progress into the top 1000 together.

there was one particular case where eight disciples decided to join forces and survived until the end, the arena open up as they challenged challengers of other arenas. they defeated all of the Challengers and at the end, eight people survived.

Ace saw this as he smirked. He knew that this kind of thing would happen as he looked at the eight rank 5 spirit masters. As the eight were waiting for the results, The huge projection of sector lord appeared on the big screen. he looked at them as he spoke "you need to fight among yourself and decide the winner. only five people can advance from here, if you refuse to fight among yourself then you would be sent into the next batch of contenders. if you manage to defeat the next batch of disciples until there are only two champions left, you all will be allowed to progress in the next round. But keep in mind that the next arena will be opened one and all five hundred disciples would be able to attack you all at the same time! "

the disciple leading the eight looked at the big screen as he spoke in a proud tone. " I am Yin xuan of Wargod Alliance's Wargod legion's vice commander. Wargod legion is never afraid of battles. We will defeat whoever comes our way and secure the dragon for ourselves! "

Han shuya was smiling while looking at this. " It was indeed a good strategy to send in the Young one's of the Wargod legion into the preliminary rounds. This way we can reduce the competition for our geniuses farther down the road. "

The Sector lord in the screen nodded as the screen showed a five minute countdown. " All the disciples who are participating in the next batch are to gather in the arena in next five minutes. please follow the robots guiding you. " There was a voice as the robots standing in the stadium among the crowd escorted the next 500 participants one by one. Yin Xuan and others were told to stand on the side as the arena was slowly filling up with different desciples.

Yin Xuan and his young soldiers were mediating while the opponents gathered ad they were fighting intense battles continuesly and were almost out of the spritual force. They were able to win because of their battle experience and teamwork but the next battle was going to be a tough one for them.

They were so tired because they were trying not to kill or cripple their opponents which limited their moves and strength that they could use as they needed to be careful at every step. There were huge cannons aimed at the arena and they didn't want to end up like the last desciple who was dead in the blink of an eye.

Slowly the desciples gathered as Yin xuan noticed the few people in the 500 opponents that he was going to fight. " There are quite a few Rank 5 Spirit Masters of Five elemental mountains among the opponents. I hope they don't group up and attack us....maybe we can get help from our own desciples in this round...." They looked at the crowd as the crowd was clearly divided into several groups. the group of the Wargod's Alliance was standing near the eight soldiers while other groups consisted of Five elemental mountains, Shadow sect and a few allied dark sect desciples of theirs and another few small groups along with a small amount of desciples of divine dragon sect.

Yin Xuan wasn't confident anymore as there were two to three renowned and famous desciples from the Five elemental mountains.

" It'll be tough..., to think that we have the misfortune of meeting the desciple of the Heavenly Fortress Earth Demon here...."

In the five elemental mountains, there were five peak leaders. Apart from them, there were also many elders in the peaks and each peak's strongest five elders were called with the title of demon of the respective mountain. There were ranks in demons and the Heavenly Fortress was the third rank Earth Demon. Xian Delan was called The Sea Queen Water Demon Xian Delan. But since she didn't like the title of demon, everyone called her fairy. Thus she was called The Sea Queen Water fairly xian Delan.

The person Yin xuan was referring to was a small boy. He was a short boy with a skinny body and was accompanied by a senior sister of his who was standing besides her.

" Junior brother, remember what master told you, try not to use the earth golem so that you can gain experience with using the other techniques Okay? "

the boy smiled as he nodded " Yes senior sister, but if they attack you, i would use my earth golem and save you! " His bright smile melted the hearts of many girls as yin xuan's face twitched.

" I won't be defeated by such a small brat...if we are defeated, each one of you will get a beating from me! All of us are going to attack that boy together and try to survive! "
