The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 232

The more than 10000 apprentices did not seem to be shocked by the announced number of participants, and it was apparent that it would be the same for each ranking competition.

Then, Violet started calculating.

‘The spiritual apprentice list is a single-elimination tournament, which means as long as I win two matches, I can almost enter the top one thousand.

’Next, it was time to draw lots in front of the public.

For the sake of fairness, the draw would be based on the previous ranking competition, and disciples of the same level would be arranged into different groups.

That way, the strong would be prevented from preying on the weak.

The previous top ten disciples would directly be arranged to a different group.

Then, the remaining twentieth to fiftieth disciples would be divided into ten various groups, and so on…

At that time, the atmosphere finally became somewhat tense.

Although the groups were arranged as fair as possible, the spiritual apprentice list was once every three months.

In those three months, the cultivators’ strength would have changed too.

Hence, it would be inevitable to have intense collisions during the division of groups.

When some disciples noticed that they were against a higher-ranking opponent in the first round, they immediately showed a look of despair.

On the other hand, the strong apprentices that were against weaklings showed a confident expression.

When it was Violet’s turn, he appeared calm.

After all, he had seen worse scenes, and that type of competition was not enough to scare him.

After drawing his lot, Violet looked at the group lists, and he was shocked.

The strongest person in that competition was the only female disciple in the top ten last time, and she was also the one that caught the most attention among the top ten, Maya!

Violet turned to look at Maya, who sat dignified in the distance.

Maya would naturally not notice Violet in the crowd.

‘This is slightly difficult.

However, it doesn’t mean I don’t stand a chance.

’ Violet raised his head and looked at the top ten disciples.

Soon, he walked toward his seat.

Once everyone drew lots, the competition started immediately.

The rules for the spiritual apprentice list were straightforward.

There were no rules.

The disciples could do everything within their means to knock the opponent off the ring or until they admitted defeat.

There was no need to worry about showing any killer moves at that time as there would be Holy Land Realm elders and elite disciples watching by the side.

As long as the disciple’s life was in danger, they would naturally stop the match.

However, once they appear, the apprentice that wanted to kill the other disciple would be the losing party.

As elders and elite disciples spectated the competition, it was naturally impossible for anyone to use crooked means to win the match.

The Heavenly Stars Sect organized such a ranking competition every three months naturally to encourage the disciples to fight for cultivation resources.

Nonetheless, any tricks would not be allowed.

If such a disciple was found, the easier punishments would be losing the competition, deducting their salary for a specific time, and being banned from participating in the tournament for a period.

At worst, they would be disposed of and expelled from the Heavenly Star Sect.

Back in the early days, some disciples might even use some minute tricks.

However, some people received severe punishment, which became an example for others not to do anything anymore.

Consequently, there was no problem in the recent hundreds of matches.

Violet’s opponent in the first round was a relatively strong apprentice, and his weapon was a massive ax, which was the size of a wheel.

When he stood in the arena, the huge shadow appeared terrifying.

When the disciple appeared in front of Richard, he then said arrogantly, “I was ranked eight hundred and seventy-two in the previous ranking competition.

You might as well just give up and don’t waste our time.

”With his hands at his back, Violet looked askance at him.

“Why don’t you tell me this when you‘re ranked eighth.

“You!” The disciple choked on his words, and he glared at Astor.

Then, when the bell rang at the start of the game, the disciple roared and showed a speed that did not match his figure.

In that instant, he leaped toward Violet’s head, raising his ax as he wanted to slash at him.

“Mountain-Breaker Axel”

Crackle and rattle!

When the giant ax dropped, the air in the surroundings shook, forming visible airwaves.

The loud noises even made people wonder if they were in massive waves.

“So this is the strength of the disciple ranked eight hundred and seventy-two,” Violet commented calmly as he looked at his opponent.

The next second, Violet used the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows.

Boom!

When the giant ax fell violently to the ground, Violet was already behind his opponent.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

With a slap at his back, the opponent was immediately pushed out with a huge force.

The disciple only felt as if there was a moving mountain behind him, and he was sent flying before he even realized what went on.

Then, he was knocked out of the arena.

After falling to the ground, the disciple was stunned for a moment before finally recovering his senses.

Then, his eyes widened as he stared at Violet in disbelief.

As for those disciples that wanted to see Violet making a fool out of himself, they were gobsmacked, and they could not utter a single word.

“How… How did I… How could I lose to you…” The disciple that threw off the arena stood and glared at Violet with eyes full of resentment.

Violet sneered.

“That’s considered a light attack as you didn’t make fun of me before.

Perhaps you want to try what it feels like to lose all your teeth?”

The disciple shivered, and he did not say another word, carrying his ax into the crowd.

Due to the formations in the square, the first few rounds of matches could be held simultaneously through the arrays.

Hence, the first match quickly ended, and Violet also smoothly entered the top 2000.

Soon, the second round began.

At this time, most of the disciples were eager to get in action, and they were secretly excited.

After all, as long as they won this round, they would be in the top 1000 of the spiritual apprentice list and awarded five spirit stones.

At least in terms of spirit stones, after deducting the three spirit stones they used to participate in the competition, they earned two extra pieces, which could be used as cultivation resources.

That time, Violet’ s opponent was a buck-toothed guy, and Violet remembered well that he was the one that mocked him the most when Violet paid the participation fee.

“They said your appearance reflects your heart.

Looking at yours, I bet you curse at others all the time, right?” Violet sneered.

“Come to think of it, are all your abilities placed at your lips?”

“B*stard! I’ll make you pay for what you said!” The buck-toothed disciple roared, rushing at Violet with his sword.

“Stars-Gatherer Swordsmanship!”

Then, the sword lights flashed everywhere, and silver lights flickered as they formed a bright galaxy in front of Violet with dense murderous intent.

Violet saw the longsword in his opponent’s hand and smiled.

“Not bad.

You have a fifth-grade weapon.

No wonder you’re so boastful.

”The buck-toothed disciple grinned, and he thought Violet felt regretful.

However, before he could say that out loud, he realized Violet snatched away his longsword and immediately rolled it into an iron ball.

The sword lights that filled the air swiftly disappeared, and the emptiness that suddenly appeared before the buck-toothed guy made him feel a chill running down his spine.
