Chapter 53 Finals, Level vs Level
Has it reached the point where the higher-ups in the Temple think it’s okay to just give me a bye?
Xingyuan looked at Huang Yi and his opponent No. 13 who were already standing on the field, and he couldn't help but yawn with his chin in his hand.

There were few matches today, and it wouldn't be long before it was his turn, so Xingyuan didn't set out his alchemy furnace to make medicine today. He had the rare chance to calm down and watch the match.

As expected, the huge gap in strength between the fourth and fifth levels cannot be bridged by simple skills.

Even if the opponent is careless, the attributes are restrained, the time and place are right, the equipment level and other factors are all met, it is still extremely difficult to complete the feat of challenging the next level. After all, not everyone in this world is named Long Haochen.

Huang Yi's opponent, No. 13, was a fourth-order, ninth-level great magician of the light system. He was quite powerful and his equipment was all of the extremely high-grade spiritual and demon-level. However, he managed to fight with him for several rounds before he was finally defeated. After the two of them clasped their fists and saluted each other, they retreated to the audience seats.

The next to play were Lin Xin and his opponent No. 17. This match was completely boring. It was simply Lin Xin's passive defense. It all depended on whether his opponent could break through his defense and win before his spiritual power was exhausted.

"Brother Xingyuan, please give me your guidance later."

Hearing Huang Yi say this after he sat down, Xing Yuan couldn't help but look at him, "You want to fight me?"

Huang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, I am at least level five.

Although I am most likely not your opponent, Brother Xingyuan, I will never accept the fact that I don't even dare to try."

"it is good."

Since the other party has said this, Xingyuan is happy to have a chance to stretch his muscles today.

He and Huang Yi didn't have much to say. After a few words, Huang Yi sat cross-legged in his seat and meditated to recover the spiritual power and mental strength he had just consumed in the game.

He needs to get into top shape before the final in the afternoon.

Thinking it was pointless to watch Lin Xin's game, Xingyuan also started meditating.

Speaking of which, he hadn't practiced properly for a long time. Ever since he and Cai'er started sleeping in the same room, both of them had become much lax about their practice. The time they spent on meditation and improving their practice every day was less than half of what it used to be, and a lot of time at night was spent sleeping.

However, Xingyuan didn’t feel that he was at a disadvantage. Otherwise, it would be like improving one’s cultivation level could make one happy, but it would be unhappy to fall asleep with Cai’er in his arms every night?
Time passed in the blink of an eye. The liquid spiritual power in Xingyuan's body had already circulated around his tendons and veins for three full cycles before he finally sensed the elemental aura on the field gradually dissipating.

People were almost getting tired of waiting, and the competition was finally over.

The winner was Lin Xin, which was not surprising at all.

But the complexion on his face was not very good, and he looked as if he was withered.

This is the tragedy of not knowing how to use offensive magic. It is so troublesome for a level 5 player to fight a level 4 player. In the history of the entire Temple Alliance, it is probably only Lin Xin who has such a talent.

"You might as well not be in the top three."

Xingyuan said unhappily, and at the same time took out a bottle of Huiling Pill from the storage ring and threw it into Lin Xin's hand.

"That won't work."

Lin Xin shook his head, unceremoniously poured out two pills and stuffed them into his mouth, while sitting cross-legged next to Xing Yuan, "The rewards for the top three are pretty good, and worth a lot of money, don't miss it.

Besides, I am at the fifth level anyway. If I rank too low, how can I put my grandfather's face on the ground?"

There is some truth in this...

Xingyuan nodded, then shifted his gaze to the platform opposite the audience seats, and happened to see Lin Chen, who was also yawning due to sleepiness.

"Ahem." Lin Chen coughed twice. "Since the top three of this preliminary round have been decided, the last two games will have to wait until the two players are in good shape and after noon..."

"Palace Master Lin! I have something to say."

It was Lin Xin who spoke. Since they were in a public place, he would naturally not expose his grandfather-grandson relationship with Lin Chen in public. He did not mention it just now, and it was the same now.

Lin Chen frowned. Although Lin Xin was a scoundrel who never behaved properly, he would not act recklessly in such an occasion. After hesitating for a while, he gestured, "You go ahead."

Lin Xin nodded and said, “We don’t have to wait that long, all we have to do next is have number one and number two play a game.

I gave up the next two games, and I can enter the finals with the third place in the Temple preliminary round. "

Lin Chen kept a stern face and said nothing. He turned around and looked at the group of temple elders on the platform behind him, asking for their opinions.

"I think it's okay."

An elder holding an aqua-blue cane nodded and praised, "Number Three is indeed no match for Number One and Number Two. He knows this well, so we don't have to waste time."

Many people agreed with him, but Lin Chen didn't say anything. He just glanced at the elder named Shui Wuque, turned around and walked back to the railing of the platform, returning to the sight of the audience below.

He looked at Huang Yi, who had emerged from his meditation state and was sitting upright in his seat.

Huang Yi understood, stood up from his seat, and bowed to Lin Chen, "Palace Master Lin, I have already made adjustments. There is no need to delay until the afternoon."

"Ah."

Since Huang Yi, who had just competed with him, also said so, Lin Chen had nothing to worry about anymore.

"Well, the preliminary and final rounds of the Demon Hunting Team's trials for the Magic Temple will begin now. Please invite contestants number one and two to compete."

This was Xingyuan's second time standing on the competition field. He felt somewhat unfamiliar with the situation and even forgot where he should stand. After being reminded by the referee, he finally found the position.

Huang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly again when he saw this, "Brother Xingyuan, please don't let me go."

Although he was aware that he was not as good as Xingyuan, Huang Yi was after all a genius that appeared only once in decades in the Magic Temple. Others went easy on him, which was something that had never happened to him in his more than ten years of practice.

He also has his own pride and cannot accept charity given by others out of pity.

"Game start."

The referee elder standing nearby announced in a deep voice.

Since his opponent had asked him not to let up, Xingyuan naturally gave up the idea of ​​slowly fighting with the opponent and honing his skills. The brilliant-level Earth Dragon Head Staff broke out of the ground and was firmly grasped in his hand.

Although Huang Yi's staff is not as good as Xingyuan's, there is a yellow earth crystal nearly the size of a fist on the top. It is also the top grade among the spirit and demon level equipment, and it is not much cheaper than the ordinary brilliant level equipment.

Out of respect for his opponent, Xingyuan planned to use the sixth-level Earth Dragon Technique to give Huang Yi a warning first.

But before he could begin to communicate the power contained in the 'Earth Dragon Head' of the staff in his hand, he heard a rumbling sound.
