"Is this guy crazy? To talk to Zhan Kuanghu like that?"
"Although his strength is very strong, he is definitely not Zhan Kuanghu's opponent."
"Provoking Zhan Kuanghu like this, even if he enters the Ancient Dao Academy, he won't have an easy time."
"Zhan Kuanghu's sect has many people in the Ancient Dao Academy, including some experts at the Divine Emperor realm."
Zhuo Yaoyao looked at Qin Hanchu with surprise, "You have a lot of pride, don't even put Zhan Kuanghu in your eyes?"
"Doesn't he know Zhan Kuanghu's influence in the Ancient Dao Academy?" Bai Qiuhan chuckled.
Gu Tianyi: "Interesting, there will be a lot of excitement when he enters the Ancient Dao Academy."
The words of Zhuo Yaoyao and others further fueled Zhan Kuanghu's anger. He glared at Qin Hanchu, "Do you want to die?"
Qin Hanchu still ignored Zhan Kuanghu. He smiled at Axiang and said, "Tens of thousands of years old, yet still like a brainless rich second-generation in the mortal world."
"Being praised too highly, thinking they are invincible," Axiang said.
"You two are seeking death."
The furious Zhan Kuanghu took out his divine axe and was about to make a move, but at this moment, the voice of Goddess Qingyue came, "Troublemakers will be disqualified from participating in the Feng Hua Banquet!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Kuanghu could only suppress his anger, "You wait."
Qin Hanchu and Axiang continued to ignore Zhan Kuanghu, which made Zhan Kuanghu so angry that his face turned red.
"Serves you right, this is what you call asking for humiliation," Zhuo Yaoyao teased Zhan Kuanghu.
Zhan Kuanghu gritted his teeth, "I will kill them."
"Go for it, I'm waiting to watch the show," Zhuo Yaoyao said with a smile.
Gu Tianyi said, "Notify me when you make a move, I'll come to watch the fun too."
Zhan Kuangniu coldly glanced at Gu Tianyi, then said nothing more.
Two hours later, the elimination matches continued.
After several hours of fierce competition, another batch of people were eliminated.
As of now, the original three thousand people had been reduced to just over a thousand.
Senior Brother Han, who had fought Qin Hanchu before, also advanced as he wished.
"Congratulations to everyone for obtaining the qualification slots for the Ancient Dao Academy assessment. Next, there will be a draw for the duels. The first to win will advance ahead of time."
"Those who lose in this round have one chance to challenge and revive."
"In other words, you can choose a qualified participant to challenge."
"If you win, you will take your opponent's qualification spot."
"The draw begins now."
As Goddess Qingyue's words fell, more than a thousand orbs of light flew down.
Qin Hanchu and others made their moves one after another, catching an orb of light.
Crushing the orb, a wooden token appeared in Qin Hanchu's hand.
"Number Five Hundred!" Qin Hanchu whispered.
Axiang glanced at hers, "Number Ninety-Five!"
"Crush the number token, and you can head to your respective arenas."
Hearing Goddess Qingyue say this, Qin Hanchu crushed the number token in his hand.
The next moment, Qin Hanchu was teleported to an open space.
Opposite Qin Hanchu stood a Divine Venerable who looked like a middle-aged man. He looked at Qin Hanchu with some frustration, "I didn't expect to meet you."
"Apologies," Qin Hanchu said.
The middle-aged Divine Venerable had watched Qin Hanchu's duel with Senior Brother Han. He knew very well that Qin Hanchu's strength was greater than his own.
This battle should be his last!
The middle-aged Divine Venerable took out his intermediate divine artifact, prepared for battle.
As soon as Goddess Qingyue's voice fell, the middle-aged Divine Venerable suddenly attacked Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu did not dodge, he met the attack head-on!
Boom!
Under the explosion, the opponent was directly repelled by Qin Hanchu.
Although this middle-aged Divine Venerable also possessed a Divine Emperor-level divine skill, its power was inferior to Qin Hanchu's divine skill.
The battle between the two started as a one-sided affair.
Under Qin Hanchu's suppression, the middle-aged Divine Venerable was completely at a disadvantage.
Even so, Qin Hanchu dared not be careless.
The opponent knew some of his secrets, but Qin Hanchu did not know the opponent's secrets.
In reality, this middle-aged Divine Venerable was not as incompetent as he appeared. He was just waiting for Qin Hanchu to become careless.
He thought that his feigned weakness would make Qin Hanchu overconfident and rush in, but he did not expect Qin Hanchu to fight so steadily.
Even when he exposed a flaw, Qin Hanchu did not fall for it.
Under Qin Hanchu's relentless assault, the middle-aged Divine Venerable's divine power was rapidly depleting.
If he didn't use his trump card soon, he would lose.
After much thought, the middle-aged Divine Venerable gave up resisting.
Losing to Qin Hanchu did not mean there was no chance at all.
They still had one chance to revive. As long as he chose a qualified participant who was weaker than Qin Hanchu, he might be able to enter a higher ranking.
Under Qin Hanchu's fierce attack, this middle-aged Divine Venerable was removed from the battlefield.
This time, Qin Hanchu was the first Divine Venerable to advance.
After advancing, Qin Hanchu immediately looked towards Axiang.
At this time, Axiang also had the upper hand. Although her opponent was very strong, he was likely no match for Axiang.
Just then, Qin Hanchu's gaze was attracted to the Sky Curtain Divine Venerable.
The Sky Curtain Divine Venerable now was vastly different from before. He possessed two Divine Emperor-level divine skills, making him a formidable expert in the Feng Hua Banquet.
Most importantly, the Sky Curtain Divine Venerable had excellent luck. His opponent was the weakest among these thousand-plus people.
Not long after, the Sky Curtain Divine Venerable advanced closely behind Qin Hanchu.
"Pray that you don't meet me in the next round."
"If you meet me, I will ensure you are eliminated in the fastest way possible."
Zhan Kuanghu also advanced closely behind. When he saw that Qin Hanchu had already advanced, he was displeased and cursed.
Qin Hanchu, as before, continued to ignore Zhan Kuanghu.
For someone as arrogant as Zhan Kuanghu, Qin Hanchu's disregard only angered him more.
An hour later, Axiang successfully advanced, "The top five hundred were relatively easy, but I probably won't have a chance in the top one hundred."
"Do your best, as long as you can enter the Ancient Dao Academy."
After all, the Ancient Dao Academy was a force with an ancestral presence. Qin Hanchu and Axiang would be able to obtain more cultivation resources by joining it.
As more Divine Venerables were eliminated, the remaining participants became stronger and stronger.
Consequently, the battles took longer and longer.
This round of battles lasted for a full eight hours before concluding.
As qualified participants, Qin Hanchu and others had entered the top six hundred ranking stage.
"Eliminated participants each have one chance to revive. Use the token in your hand to choose your challenger."
The projection of Goddess Qingyue appeared in the Mirror Lake World, she said coldly.
The eliminated individuals then began to choose their challengers.
Although Qin Hanchu did not use his top-tier divine artifact, his strength still made many people feel powerless.
Those participating in the revival matches naturally chose the easier opponents. Even Axiang was not chosen by anyone.
Because the weaker opponents were highly sought after, Goddess Qingyue had to conduct the challenges in batches.
Some people, immediately after successfully challenging, were defeated by other Divine Venerables.
At this moment, the judges of the Ancient Dao Academy had begun to rank these participants based on their performance in the battles.
