Chapter 1311: Instant Kill
```
Swoosh~~
The jade talisman lit up brightly!
Pointing directly to the space for a duel, guided by an unseen hand.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
One after another, figures entered with incredible speed.
An instant competition!
The sooner one finished, the more rest time they could earn!
Everyone was thoroughly familiar with the rules.
Moreover, compared to securing designated seats by dominating the four major districts—east, west, north, and south.
The one extra spot available in the consolation battle royale was extremely attractive to those cultivators whose strength was above average, but not top-notch!
Because it's a melee!
Because it's unpredictable!
If the quotas of the four major districts were 99% reliant on actual combat prowess to win.
Then the quota in the consolation battle royale depended only 80% on strength!
Or even less!
Strategy and luck were equally important!
Achieving three consecutive wins to enter the top 16 was currently the primary goal for the vast majority of participants!
To seize an opportunity first!
And for the 28 contestants who had a bye in the first battle, it was undoubtedly a huge advantage.
They would have one less battle to fight, and they could relax and prepare, thus holding a considerable advantage in terms of combat prowess.
The results from the first and second rounds did matter to some extent.
At this moment, the eyes of the 28 who had a bye were all focused on the space for a duel.
The clearly displayed names and numbers on the screen let everyone know who their next opponent would be.
To know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.
Especially since the Divine People Hall selection had already gone through two rounds, for many human talents who had never entered the Infinite Genius Garden, the resources gained from these two rounds could significantly boost their strength!
Take Yu Qing, for example.
A rare talent from the chaos races ranked within the top 100 of the Talent Garden.
Ranked 72nd, she was somewhat inferior to her opponent, Xu Sheng, who was ranked 48th.
But the current situation was entirely different.
Xu Sheng seemed to have the upper hand, but Yu Qing's defensive and counterattack approach, much like a hunter who evades its prey's attacks, patiently sought her opponent's weaknesses.
Wang Ye watched the contest.
This woman was very smart.
Her judgment of the situation was clear-cut, and she never acted recklessly.
They had met in the first round.
At that time, the team led by Yu Qing had a combat prowess that was above his own.
In the end, Team Yu De was annihilated, and Yu Qing retreated without risking herself, leaving a deep impression on him.
Mmm, it had nothing to do with her being attractive.
Even now, it was still the case.
"She might not necessarily be looking for flaws," Wang Ye understood.
Yu Qing might be hoping to take down Xu Sheng with the least cost possible.
After all, she would have to fight at least two battles,
And in front of him, expose as little of her strength as possible.
Otherwise, she'd be at a significant disadvantage.
But...
"Xu Sheng is no pushover either," Wang Ye thought to himself.
The attacks and control of the Void Race were quite exceptional.
Although they belonged to the Infinite Genius Garden, anyone could gain an opportunity and treasures by entering the Infinite Divine Mountain in the second round!
Facing Yu Qing's patient and opportunistic fighting style, Xu Sheng launched fierce attacks without hesitation!
He was well aware that the girl across from him was deeply skilled and much stronger than before.
Now he could no longer consider his next opponent, Wang Ye.
He had to give it his all and defeat Yu Qing!
...
36 duel spaces.
36 fierce battles!
Like 36 stars twinkling in the sky.
Yu Qing True Divine effortlessly controlled the Primitive Source Treasure, maintaining authority over each duel space.
Snap! Space number 7 was the first to go dark.
Mo Nitu from Talent Garden, ranked 251st, was the first to be eliminated.
His opponent was Ya Ziya, ranked 37th in the Talent Garden.
A genius from the Alien Divine Race.
He hadn't performed well in the previous two rounds, just barely squeezing into the top 100.
But in the last round, only strength mattered.
Mo Nitu had his opportunity in the Infinite Divine Mountain and achieved a higher ranking, but facing the instantly stronger Ya Ziya, he was quickly defeated.
The gap in their strength was too large.
"Oh?" Wang Ye looked toward the screen.
Mo Nitu's name had already disappeared.
At the same time, Ya Ziya from the East District had advanced, lining up to face Yu Jiuding who had a bye in the first battle.
Sparks flew!
Space number 7 lit up again.
The brightly glowing jade talismans of the two great divine geniuses swiftly entered.
Commencing the second battle!
"So fast," Wang Ye thought with a chill.
There wasn't the slightest chance to catch one's breath.
Just like real combat.
Defeat one opponent and instantly, the next one appears!
However, both were somewhat lucky, as they were the first pair in the top 64 to fight, and the winner was likely to get some recovery time before the next round.
But that time might not be long. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire
Having either enduring combat prowess or the capability for a burst of decisive victory was key.
"You should have the advantage in the top 64," Wang Ye said to Gun Genius, "Remember to consume the immortal herb immediately after winning to recover, or even start recovering beforehand if you're certain of victory."
"Okay," Gun Genius obediently replied.
"Do you have the Primitive Fruit for a temporary boost in combat prowess?" Wang Ye asked.
Gun Genius nodded gently.
Like most human talents, she had spent the majority of her Divine Jade on cultivation, spatial treasures, and Primitive Fruits.
To boost combat prowess as much as possible.
"Try not to use it in the first match; you can in the second," Wang Ye advised.
Since Gun Genius had a bye in the first battle, she only needed to fight two matches to advance to the top 16 and ensure she could participate in the consolation battle royale.
But as she said herself, with her strength, advancing to the top 16 was not guaranteed—it would depend on luck.
As they spoke, several more duel spaces went dark in succession.
But they quickly lit up again.
There was no pause.
One round after another rolled on!
Incredibly thrilling!
The entire plaza was filled with an atmosphere of tension and fervor, every moment counting!
Many names on the screen were already faded.
The brackets from the four major districts were continually extending toward the center.
