Chapter 1109 Bai Qing Is Eliminated
The weakest candidate in Caoxi County in the entire Kuzhong City was only at the first level of Qi Refining. It was difficult for him to deal with a first-level monster, not to mention the three and nine monsters that would come later. Everyone knew the situation in Caoxi County, and they also understood that a first-level Qi Refining cultivator could not last too long in the Bailian Tower, so no one laughed at the candidate after he was eliminated.
However, some people were puzzled by this. They had heard from people in Tiegu County that the candidates from Tongguan County were all old, weak, and disabled, and there was a Kaimai realm cultivator among the candidates. How could a Kaimai realm cultivator deal with a first-level monster? I'm afraid he would be killed as soon as he entered? But why wasn't he the first to come out? Could it be that what the people in Tiegu County said was all false?
The first-level Qi Refining cultivator in Caoxi County was a beginning. Not long after he came out, other cultivators were teleported out one after another. At first, it was the first level of Qi Refining, followed by the second and third levels of Qi Refining. In less than an hour, more than 30 people were eliminated.
Among them were Ma Xingchen and the 40-year-old Qi Refining Level 3 guard from Tongguan County. They were teleported out in such a short time and didn't even reach the edge of the second floor of the Bailian Tower. They were extremely depressed. They looked up at the team from Tiegu County on the opposite side. Two people were also eliminated, one of whom was even at the fourth level of Qi Refining. They felt a little more balanced.
From the outside of the Bailian Tower, you can't see the specific situation inside, who is ahead and who is behind, and who has killed several enemies, but through the brightness of the spiritual light outside the Bailian Tower, you can roughly judge which level the contestants have reached.
For example, now, the brightest level of the Bailian Tower is the second level, which means that most of the contestants have passed the first level and are trying to pass the second level; the brightness of the first level has dropped a lot compared to before, but it has not completely disappeared, which means that there are still a small number of people stranded on the first level; the third level has just been lit up, which means that someone has entered the third level first. No need to ask, it must be that Senior Brother Jiao.
After the contestants were teleported out, they only needed to hand over the jade talisman they had brought with them to the foundation-building cultivators outside. The jade talisman recorded in detail how many floors the contestants had entered into the Hundred Refining Tower, how long they had stayed inside, and how many enemies the Hundred Refining Tower had conjured up. After the foundation-building cultivators outside registered, they would soon be able to rank the rest.
Ma Xingchen and the Qi Refining Level 3 guard from Tongguan County also stepped forward to take a look. They were temporarily ranked 297th and 306th among more than 300 contestants. This was not the final ranking. If the people who came out later performed worse than them, their rankings might move forward a little, but the final change would not be too big. This ranking was in the middle of all the Qi Refining Level 3 contestants. This was considered a normal performance for the two of them, and there was nothing to regret.
As time went by, more and more monks were teleported out. The enemies on the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower were equivalent to the strength of the middle stage of Qi Refining. For the majority of the middle stage of Qi Refining monks, one was easy to deal with, but three was a bit difficult. If nine appeared at once, there were very few people who could deal with it, and only some senior candidates of the sixth level of Qi Refining had this ability.
Sure enough, not long after Ma Xingchen and others were eliminated, a large number of cultivators of the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refining were teleported out, and some cultivators of the second and third levels of Qi Refining who had barely persisted on the first floor of the Hundred Refining Tower were not spared. Even if these people persisted in the Hundred Refining Tower for a longer time, because they did not break into the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower, their final results would not be much better.
Soon another hour passed, and more and more monks were eliminated, gradually exceeding 50%. Only more than 100 candidates remained in the Hundred Refining Tower, mainly those above the sixth level of Qi Refining, a small number of those at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and a few at the fourth level of Qi Refining. As for those at the third level of Qi Refining and below, no one could persist until now.
The spiritual light on the third floor of the Hundred Refining Tower flickered, indicating that many candidates had entered the third floor. However, the spiritual light on the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower did not decrease too much, proving that there were still many people struggling hard on the second floor.
During this period, four more people from Tongguan County were eliminated, leaving only Qingyang, Shangguan Yan, Bai Qing and another fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator in the Hundred Refining Tower. The situation in Tiegu County not far away was slightly better, with five people left in the Hundred Refining Tower. Almost everyone in other regions had people teleported out, and the only ones who were not eliminated were the candidates in the City Lord's Mansion area.
In the second half of the pre-selection of the Son of God, the atmosphere around the Hundred Refining Tower gradually became tense. Everyone was guessing who would be selected as the quasi-son of God in the end. Even the eliminated candidates, even if they had a grudge against the people in their own area who had not been eliminated, hoped that the other party would win, because this was not only their personal matter, but also related to the honor and interests of the local area.
Time passed quickly, and people were teleported out of the Hundred Refining Tower from time to time. Gradually, all the cultivators below the fourth level of Qi Refining were eliminated, and there were only a few at the fifth level. Even many people at the sixth level were teleported out. The spiritual light on the second floor of the Hundred Refining Tower gradually dimmed, and the spiritual light on the third floor became brighter. Just at that moment, the fourth floor of the Hundred Refining Tower was also lit up.
There was only one person in the entire Kuzhong City who had the ability to enter the fourth floor of the Hundred Refining Tower, and that was Senior Brother Jiao in the City Lord's Mansion. He was the only one who could light up the fourth floor of the Hundred Refining Tower. Perhaps there would be some people who could enter later, but I'm afraid no one could surpass Senior Brother Jiao in the end.
Before the game started, many people on the field counted the candidates in front of the Hundred Refining Tower. There were about 340 candidates in total. Now more than 280 have been teleported out. There should be less than 60 left. The final quasi-saint will be produced from these people.
There are still three people left in the Hundred Refining Tower from Tongguan County, and only two people left from Tiegu County. The monks from Tiegu County, who were proud just now, looked a little unnatural. They didn't understand why the candidates from Tongguan County had better results than them in the end when they were obviously hit hard, especially the one who seemed to be only at the Kaimai Realm, and for some reason he had not been eliminated so far.
At this time, the undefeated golden body of the candidates in the City Lord's Mansion area was also broken. Two sixth-level Qi Refining monks were teleported out of the Hundred Refining Tower one after another. However, compared with other teams, this result was ridiculously good. On average, other teams only had two or three candidates left, and some were completely wiped out, such as the poorest Caoxi County in the entire Kuzhong City.
Seeing that the preliminary selection of the Son of God had been going on for more than three hours, a disheveled figure flashed out from the Hundred Refining Tower. It was none other than Bai Qing, the only Qi Refining Level 6 candidate from Tongguan County. Unexpectedly, he was also eliminated.
