"Remember, if you sense any danger, you must immediately admit defeat. Losing isn't a big deal, preserving your life is what matters the most." Lin Yun turned to Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing who were about to compete, and instructed.

Because there were many competitors, all sorts of people were present. Even though level twelve cultivators have strong vitality and can recover from most injuries as long as they aren't too severe, they had already witnessed many competitors killed by their opponents.

"Okay." Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing nodded in agreement.

However, Lin Yun was still worried. He turned to Xiao Chong and said, "Brother Xiao, not just Mengmeng and Qingqing, the safety of all our competitors depends on you. If anyone is in lethal danger, please help. If there are any problems, I'll take the full responsibility."

Although there were protective barriers around the platforms which prevented outside forces from disrupting the competition,

Xiao Chong, being a super warrior, could still interfere.

"No problem, leave it to me." Xiao Chong assured instantly.

There were also quite a few competitors from the Xiao family. Among the competitors of the same level, those from the Xiao family were far inferior to Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing. Therefore, Lin Yun's request was actually more beneficial to the Xiao family, as this Heavenly Principle Fruit competition was a top event in the universe.

Even if he was a super warrior, he dared not interfere arbitrarily in this competition.

After all, he was just an ordinary super warrior, and maybe even somewhat inferior, considering he had just broken through a few days ago.

Now with Lin Yun's assurance, he felt at ease.

"Wow, with Brother Xiao's protection, we can rest easy."

"This is great."

Lianshan, Qing Luo, and others expressed their happiness.

"Hah, you guys are at least half-step super warriors, and not just any half-step super warriors. There should be very few competitors at your level who can threaten your lives, forcing you not to have the chance to concede, right?"

Xiao Chong shook his head and laughed.

"Few is still a possibility. There are so many freakish geniuses in this Heavenly Principle Fruit competition. It's really a shock to realize how many have emerged in such a short time." Qing Luo shook his head.

"Yes!"

Lianshan nodded as well.

Before, they held a fluke mentality that even if they couldn't get the Heavenly Principle Fruit, perhaps they have a chance to be chosen by the super warrior judges, and thus receive a Heavenly Principle Fruit as a grant from the competition. Now, they have completely lost that mentality.

Currently, they only hope to conquer the Heavenly Principle Tower. It is said that the tower can help people understand their potential and talent direction more clearly, revealing their weaknesses and shortcomings. Even if there were no other gains, these few things alone were quite valuable.

Usually, the Heavenly Principle Tower was controlled by various super-powerful forces, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. This time was a rare opportunity.

Moreover, if they become the master of the Heavenly Principle Tower, that would mean they have hit a jackpot.

Although they knew this probability was very small, everyone more or less had the mentality that they were the protagonist, so they were yearning for it.

Usually, they could first conquer the Heavenly Principle Tower and not participate in the subsequent tests. Of course, if they failed to achieve high rankings in the tower, they didn't qualify to take part in the subsequent tests.

The rules of this year's competition, however, required them to participate in the tests before conquering the Heavenly Principle Tower. So, they had to fight with others first.

"It's a pity that you missed the opportunity presented by the Immortal Origin Holy Land thousands of years ago." Xiao Chong exclaimed regretfully.

He recognized that many of the people who had performed well on the platforms had been to the Immortal Origin Holy Land thousands of years ago. It was sure that their current performance had a lot to do with the opportunities they encountered at that time.

Listening to Xiao Chong's words, Qing Luo and the others smiled bitterly.

Who would have thought that such a powerful force would suddenly emerge in the universe?

Who could have imagined that the powerful force would be so selfless in preaching to all creatures?

And who would have guessed that the powerful force would soon hide from the world?

They just entered a closed-door practice once, and they missed such an opportunity.

If they had known about this earlier, they wouldn't have closed themselves off during that period.

On the one thousand nine hundred and eighty-fifth platform.

This battle was at the late stage of level twelve.

Xia Qingqing flashed onto the platform.

Soon, her opponent also arrived. He was a competitor who had won three consecutive battles.

If he defeated Xia Qingqing, it would be four consecutive victories.

On the contrary, if Xia Qingqing defeated him, it would count as two consecutive victories.

In this case, the competitor's three consecutive victories were divided by two (rounded down), and one more was added for the current victory. That's how it was counted.

For example, if the competitor had won four consecutive battles and Xia Qingqing defeated him, it would be considered three consecutive victories [four divided by two, equals two, plus one for the current victory].

If the competitor had won eight consecutive battles and Xia Qingqing defeated him, it would be considered five consecutive victories [eight divided by two, equals four, plus one for the current victory].

If the competitor was defeated, the current winning streak was considered final. If they didn't want to continue competing, they could use this as the standard. If they wanted to continue competing, they had to start counting from scratch.

If someone won some battles, got injured, and then lost – without confidence to continue fighting, it's best to stop the challenge. Otherwise, the final score would be based on the next loss.

For instance, if you first had four consecutive victories but then stopped competing after a defeat, the final result was a four-win streak.

If you continued competing, and only had a three-win streak before losing, then the result was a three-win streak.

"Greetings from the Superior Swordless of the Supreme Family from Central Star Domain of the level nine civilization." Xia Qingqing's opponent was a young man. As he reached the platform, he greeted with a bow.

"From a low-level civilization Star Domain, no family, Xia Qingqing." Xia Qingqing also returned the salute, very courteously.

"Hehe, my friend, you better be careful." The young man chuckled.

Declaring their origins was to prevent accidently injuring someone with a well-connected background. If the opponent was from a powerful background, they would hold back on their attacks, they would not deliberately kill their opponent.

However, since the opponent was from a low-level civilization Star Domain... there was nothing he had to worry about.

As the man spoke, a trace of natural mental strength emanated from him. He sensed that the opponent, Xia Qingqing, was probably not lying.

"Clang! Whistle!"

During this conversation, the young man suddenly drew a green long sword and thrust it towards Xia Qingqing. The sword blossoms bloomed like a sky full of snow, instantly enveloping the entire platform, making it hard to distinguish where the young man's attack was.

"Hum!"

Xia Qingqing was unmoving. A pair of beautiful black eyes flashed, and an invisible air was released. At the same time, mysterious fluctuations rose from her body, forming a tornado around her, which rapidly spread towards the young man.

"Over there!"

Very quickly, Xia Qingqing locked onto a spot with her mental strength.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!"

A series of strong mental attacks were launched towards the young man.

"Mental Attacks! She's a mental type cultivator!"

Seeing this, the young man's expression changed slightly and he muttered to himself that this was bad.

His attack was very confusing, and he feared meeting a mental type cultivator the most.

"I hope that this mental type cultivator isn't too strong…" He thought to himself.

Originally, seeing that this woman was in her first platform contest and didn't appear very old, he thought she would be easy to bully, but unexpectedly, he ran into one who practiced a cultivation system that countered his.

"It's my bad luck. There are not many mental type cultivators…" He lamented in his heart.
