Chapter 410 The Final Knockout (Part One)
After four rounds of the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games wereplete, a troubling figure of 74
yers was left. The next round would be to eliminate the surplus and rank the top 50.
However, now arose a problem. Twenty-four people needed to be eliminated now to bring the count
down to 50.
But if thepetition went on like the previous four rounds where yers fought one-on-one, half of
the yers would be eliminated and only thirty-seven would have been left.
So right now, everyone in the audience was curious to figure out how thepetition was going to
proceed from here.
When Austin returned to the team of Prince Reuben, he saw that only six yers were left now. There
had been a hundred yers fighting for Prince Reuben but after the previous four rounds, a majority of
them had been eliminated.
One thing that surprised Austin right now was the fact that after fighting with Owen, the golden sphere
inside his elixir field had absorbed the efficacy of two different kinds of secret elixirs. Austin now felt
that his vital energy cultivation base had vaguely touched the brim of a breakthrough. Therefore,
instead of resting, he chose to spend the next hour sitting down with his legs crossed and ordered the
vital energy inside his body to fill his energy meridians with the help of the Golden Sun Scripture.
After participating in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games and seeing so many cultivators who
were still very young but already at the medium or premium stage of Earth Realm, Austin realized that
his own cultivation base which was at the premium stage of Earth Realm was hardly worth mentioning.
So, he was now very eager to improve his cultivation base and make a breakthrough.
More importantly, his greatest enemies were Jaime of the Sun Sect and two more giant forces—the
ming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Team. Austin knew that only if he broke into the Mysterious
Realm could he defend himself well in the future.
So when he found that his cultivation base was just about to jump up a notch, he decided to not let this
chance slip away.
"Hey, Tin is sitting there and has started cultivating even in this situation. It''s rare to see such a calm
temperament. No wonder he is so powerful and strong."
Dewey noticed that Austin was sitting on the ground and immersed in cultivation like an old monk. He
told his fellow teammates in admiration.
Seeing this, Maria also nodded slightly and thought that Austin really was an extraordinary young man.
After running the Golden Sun Scripture in his body for a while, Austin found that the energy meridians
inside his body started to be numb and itch, like countless ants crawling through the meridians.
This was exactly what a breakthrough would have felt like, just a bit more intensely. Austin was
overjoyed with this discovery.
But he also knew that all he had was just a chance of breaking through, and his odds were clearly less
than a perfect 100%. Whether he did make a breakthrough or not, depended entirely on his fortune.
A few momentster, with the Golden Sun Scripture still running inside his body, the golden sphere
inside his elixir field suddenly sensed something. With an immense and powerful bang, a hot stream of
prime masculine vital energy surged out from the golden sphere and began rushing about, trying to fill
every inch of his body like a great river. The next moment, he felt that this powerful stream of vital
energy was trying to stretch his energy meridians and causing a great deal of pain in the process.
He knew he must go through the pains because it always came along with breakthroughs of the vital
energy. Nevertheless, after cultivating the Overlord Body-refining Form, Austin could take it easy
with such a pain on his body flesh because he could handle it easily.
If he was making a breakthrough somewhere else, he would have absorbed the spirits of the heaven
and the earth from his surroundings as much as he could. This would have immensely helped him.
However, he could obviously not do that right now and was even trying to control the urge because
there were so many people around him that once he started absorbing the spirits of the heaven and the
earth from the surroundings, he would start drawing attention and be too conspicuous.
Fortunately, the two elixirs he had absorbed from Owen came with sufficient efficacy for this
breakthrough and he was confident that his chances were still high enough. Also, the energy of the
elixirs was masculine which was extremely suitable for the cultivation of the Golden Sun Scripture.
Over the course of the next hour, Austin reached the breakthrough point many times, but there still
seemed to be some limitations inside his body and it looked like his time had not yete.
Although he was at the edge of breakthrough, there was still somethingcking inside him.

Austin shook his head reluctantly. After an hour''s efforts, he finally gave up trying to breakthrough into
the Mysterious Realm and decided to prepare for thepetition. The final round was about to start
now!
Both the audience and the contestants were really excited and their eyes were burning hot with
curiosity.
Finally, as everyone had expected, the old eunuch appeared, "Your attention please. We are now going
to start the final round of thepetition."
Somehow, the shrill voice of the old eunuch reached everypetitor''s ears clearly and was loud
enough so that it made them feel that he was standing right next to them. This clearly showed the old
eunuch''s superior strength in terms of cultivation base.
"74 contestants remain who are goingpete for the 50 spots. Those who qualify will go to the
Mysterious Nether World. Now, I know you''re been wondering how the final round of thepetition
will take ce.
Do not worry. I shall exin it to you."
The old eunuch continued slowly with a very leisurely look on his face.
The contestants were so anxious at this moment, they hated the old eunuch''s slow way of speaking.
"Thest round will proceed like this:
The 74 yers are going to be paired randomly. These pairs will fight in the battle rings as usual.
During that process, the 24 yers who are defeated first will be eliminated and the remaining 50 will
be promoted.
In other words, not all 37 pairs of yers need to defeat their opponent. Now, the question here, is of
time. So either destroy your enemy as soon as possible, or keep going for as long as you can. The first
24 losers will be eliminated, and after that, even if a fight is going on in a ring, they can stop and
proceed to the next round together.
