《Astral Land》Chapter 30 Semi Finals
Advertisement
The qualifying round has finished.
One thousand participants then magically shot back to the astral dimension of the land.
When Reno returned to the location of the initial meeting, the number of participants present seemed to be reduced compared to the number of participants at the beginning of the event.
The same man in the process of opening the event before once again come up flying above the participants.
"The qualifying round has finished. Congratulations to the participants who have made it into the semi-finals, "said the man
The next round will begin tomorrow.
The participants were asked to return to their respective pavilions to rest.
The participants who made it to the semi-final round returned to their respective pavilions, including Reno Prayuda.
When Reno arrived at the pavilion, Admiral Prayoga, who was waiting and in charge of accompanying Reno in this competition, showed an astonished face.
Admiral began to see Reno with respect and admiration.
Quietly he again measured the strength of Reno, surprised to find that Reno is currently in the level 1 candala.
Even though Reno had been in level 2 candala cultivation when the admiral watched Reno battle throughout, the competition on the projector screen made him confused.
Prayoga himself is currently at the level 2 candala, while the other two are Prayudi and Arok Ken in the level 2 and one candala.
Reno's cultivation is very close to the cultivation power of the patih and the king in the Paragon kingdom.
The strength of Reno almost matched the royal officials in his age who were still relatively young.
Prayoga can't imagine how much Reno's achievements will be in the future.
He remembers that two months ago, Reno's cultivation was still at mleccha level, how could Reno now be in the candala?
After talking and chatting for a while with Admiral Prayoga, Reno then allowed him to rest to gather the lost energy.
The next day Reno got up; he rushed, took a shower, and shot straight towards the meeting point located at the same location.
The current meeting point has changed.
One hundred marble-topped square stages were lined up neatly in front of Reno.
The semi-final round is a one-on-one battle round, where each stage will have one referee in charge of overseeing the match.
Ten participants will fill each stage.
Each participant then must compete for one by one in turns.
Winners from each stage are participants with the highest number of wins, which will then enter the top 100 categories.
Every participant in the top 100 categories will enter group matches.
Reno then looked at the projector screen in every corner of the stage.
Inside the projector screen, Reno can find a list of participants who will compete in each stage.
Reno is listed on the first stage with number seven by the organizer.
Each participant then sits on a wooden chair that has been provided around the stage.
Each stage has ten seats as a place to wait for their turn.
Shortly after that, the match at each stage begins.
"Participant Number 7 against Participant Number 10," Said the referee on stage 1.
Reno and participant number 10 then walked onto the stage.
"The fight will be completed when one of the three conditions are fulfilled; the first condition is if one participant surrenders, the second condition is when the participant touches the outside of the stage, the third condition is when one participant dies.”
Reno and participant number 10 then nodded in understanding.
"Okay, the fight starts!" Said the referee on stage 1.
Participant number 10 jumped and kicked Reno.

Instantly Reno immediately dodged.
Seeing Reno was quite agile, Participant number 10 then measured the strength of his opponent's cultivation by touching the jade that was on his wrist.
Participant number 10 glared in surprise, seeing the information received.
He didn't think his opponent had the strength in the candala cultivation.
Participant number 10 alone only has a level 5 tuchha cultivation level.
Seeing there was no hope of winning, participants number 10 did not just give up but returned to attack.
However, the attack on participant number 10 could not touch Reno's body that was moving very fast.
Seeing Reno agile enough to avoid any attacks issued by participant number 10, the faces on Reno's opponents began to turn pale.
"Bang"
Participant number ten was thrown out of the arena, drifting far enough then crashing into the wall outside the field.
The viewers around stage number one were surprised seeing this incident.
In one move, Reno’s opponents thrown ten meters out of the arena.
"Wow"
"Amazing combat power!"
"Do you see it? I didn't see it at all? How did the participants throw off? "
"Crazy! Who is he!"
The spectator on the number one stage began to shout, looking amazed not to believe.
They did not understand the movements Reno had done to participant number 10.
"Number 7 wins."
Reno returned to sit and waited for his turn to be called again by the referee.
While waiting, he looked at another stage.
He saw Mei Li appear to be on the second stage located next to the first stage.
Mei Li has participant number 11 on the next stage.
At present, Mei Li is fighting against number 13 on the second stage.
Seeing Mei-Li fight, Reno fascinated; he did not expect Mei Li to be the only woman who participated in this competition.
Reno realized this because when he looked at the entire stage in the semi-finals, there was only one female participant around the arena, and that person was Mei Li.
"Participant Number 7 against participant number 8," said the referee.
Reno again called, this time Reno will fight participants number 8.
"Bang"
In an instant, participants number 8 thrown back 10 meters out of the arena.
"Number 7 win," Reno strolled back to sit, waiting for his next turn.
"Wow, very strong!"
The entire audience was again amazed by the action that Reno had carried out.
One move hit made by Reno continues, and so far, Reno has pocketed five consecutive wins.
These five wins collected by the young man won with a single strike.
In stage number 2, Mei Li saw Reno from a distance.
Mei Li never stopped seeing the developments that took place on the number one stage as well, seemed amazed by the achievements of Reno on the scene.
"Participant number 7 against participant number 6," said the referee.
When participant number 6 strolled into the arena, he looked scared when he saw the figure of Reno in front of him.
Aware that the young man in front of him is a godlike figure before the command begins, participant number six immediately gives up.
"I give up," said participant number 6 confidently. Seeing number 6 giving up, Reno won automatically.
Since the sixth victory in a row, all opponents that Reno faced surrendered, they were unable to resist the mighty domination on the number one stage.
"Stage number 1 ended, Reno Prayuda from Paragon kingdom came out as the number 1 champion," said the Referee shouting.
The referee's shout made everyone pale in hearing the information.

Stage number 1 is the only stage that was completed at the earliest and has released a champion named Reno Prayuda.
The only winner with ten consecutive wins so far has made all participants shiver to see Reno’s achievement.
"Participants Number 7 with this, you have the right to enter the top 100, please wait for the 99 other stages of finishing the match." Said the referee continued.
#Pavilion where Admiral Prayoga is waiting
Admiral Prayoga's face was pale and shocked.
His mouth was wide open; his eyes glared at the projector screen before him.
During the one on one stage on stage one, Reno showed strange scenes beyond logic.
"We're in the top 100?"
"We're in the top 100?"
"Hahaha...hahaha…hahaha"
"I can't believe this happened. Hahaha, seriously."
Admiral Prayoga laughed to himself, talked to himself, and asked himself like a madman.
"History, this is the first time in the history of the Paragon kingdom."
"Hahaha, I'm curious about the look on the face of the King, hahaha."
The Kingdom of Paragon is a class E kingdom that has never been able to penetrate a ranking of more than 500.
Only this time in the history of the kingdom, they were able to penetrate a ranking above the top 500, and a young man named Reno Prayuda has made this history.
Reno's achievements are now beyond the target.
The Paragon kingdom only hoped to be able to qualify from the qualifying round, entering 500 ranks like the previous event.
But whoever thought, Reno has now done something completely unexpected.
One hundred Arena of the first-round semi-final match officially finished.
Currently, 100 participants filtered from each Arena.
Mei Li became one of the participants who also qualified for the top 100.
Seeing Mei Li is the only woman who participated in this competition also passed, making Reno chuckled in awe at the achievement of the oriental girl.
The first half semi-final was over, continuing into the second round.
In the second round, each winner in each stage will randomly put into groups consist of 5 participants.
The five people in this group will then fight with other groups.
If the group can reach three wins, the five people who are in the winning group will be able to swing to the grand finale.
Reno then looked back at the projector screen in every corner of the stage.
In the projector screen this time, Reno can find a list of participants who will compete in each group.
Reno listed in group 3.
What surprised Reno was Mei Li's name also appeared in a group with him.
"Ren! We are in one group! take care of me, okay!” Mei Li, who was previously temperament, seemed to be changing now.
She shouted as she ran to greet Reno happily.
Reno just nodded and smiled.
Not long after that, three other young people approached Reno with happy expressions.
The three young people then greeted Reno and introduced themselves.
"My name Mangku Alam from the kingdom of Kertajaya."
"I am Singgih Trimedia from the Trisakti Kingdom."
"Edi, Edi Wahyudi from the Kingdom of Pillars"
Hearing the first two names, Reno was somewhat surprised.
The two names spoken by the two young men in front of him seemed familiar to Reno's ears.
After being silent in his daydream, Reno finally realized, Mangku Alam and Singgih Trimedia's names were names that also posted on the "Top Five Kills Ranking" list in the previous qualifying round.
"Ren, Reno Prayuda," said Reno to three men in front of him
The three people already knew the figure in front of them was Reno Prayuda, who is currently to be a popular figure in the competition.
"Group 3 against group 2, ask each group to immediately determine the order of participants who will advance to compete representing the group," said one referee.
Each group began to discuss and determine the order of participants who would advance in this match.
Discussions in the group are quite intense because, after all, this round would determine each group to qualify for the grand finale.
Group 3 itself decided to allow Edi Wahyudi as a representative in the first match.
Group 2 sends a young boy named "Satrya Sena," black, tall, and stocky forward, representing group 2.
"Start," said the referee.
Edi jumped 1-meter back, alert, and kept his distance.
On the other hand, Satrya Sena looked smiling disparagingly.
Without further ado, Satrya then ran to hit Edi quickly.
Seeing Satrya movement, Edi then jumps backward to anticipate Satrya attack.
The muscular and black youth suddenly made a "Sliding tackle" like a soccer player trying to tackle his opponent.
Seeing Satrya's movements so quickly made Edi surprised, he then jumped to the air to avoid the attack.
When Edi jumped, the muscular and black youth then changed the style of his attack by doing the "Uppercut" from below to beat Edi's face.
"Bang"
Immediately Edi bounced and fell.
Seeing Edi fall down, the referee did not immediately decide lost for Edi because Edi was still seen standing up after falling.
With difficulty, Edi then stood up.
"Hey, young man, give up before I take your life!" Said Satrya.
Edi then replied, "Do you think I can easily be defeated?" Edi then shot towards to Satrya with full force.
Edi opened his palm and stuck it in front of Satrya face while muttering - chanting a spell.
Not long after, a giant hand in the form of a white shadow came out from Edi's palm then shot quickly towards Satrya.
Seeing a sizeable white shadow resembling a god's hand flying towards him, Satrya Sena then muttered while moving to form a "Hand seal." In an instant, the mouth of satrya opened and spouted fire.
"Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
The fire coming out looked large like a Fire spouting from the mouth of a dragon.
Edi's giant palm fell into the flames of Satrya then disappeared.
The flames continued to rush towards Edi. Edi tried to avoid it but was too late.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
In an instant, Edi disappeared as if swallowed by the fire.
Seeing Edi scorch and disappear like dust, group 3 was shocked.
"Edi!"
"Edi!"
"Edi!"
Singgih, Mangku Alam, and Mei Li "shocked" and then shouted for Edi's name.
Seeing the condition of Edi who died without leaving his body, Reno looked furious.
Although Edi was a new companion, he had just met, but in Reno’s eyes, Edi was a group companion whom he considered as a friend.
Seeing this incident, Reno could no longer see the death of other group mates on the stage.
After all, the deciding round to enter the grand finale is this round.
Each participant will spend all his ability to be able to penetrate into the next round.
Reno then shot up the arena and spoke to the referee, "Sir, is there a rule for a participant to be able to fight three people at once and determine the victory?".
Hearing Reno's request, everyone was surprised.
"Ren! Don't act ridiculous,” Mei Li spoke in a tone of worry about Reno's attitude.
All seemed shocked by Reno's decision but not for the referee.
"Are you sure young man?" The referee returned to confirm Reno's words.
"Sure! Is it possible? "Reno then asked again.
"It could, but if you lose, your group will automatically fail to enter the grand finale."
"Now, I am asking again, are you sure?" The Referee explained then confirmed again to Reno.
"Ren stops! this match is not only about your event, "said Singgih
"We don't need to be emotionally responding to Edi's death; after all, death in this competition is something that can't be avoided," Mei Li added.
"Right, after all, our group represents five kingdoms, if you make your own decisions like this, then you have automatically stepped over our five kingdoms," said Mangku Alam.
Reno fell silent, not replying, ignoring their words, then returned to speak to the referee in front of him.
"I am sure," Reno said to the referee.
"Ren!"
"@! # @ ##! # @ $ # $$ ^^ && ^ *"
"You…………………"
Hearing Reno's decision, Mei Li, Singgih, and Alam were "shocked," but Reno ignored them and continued his request to the referee.
"You three go fight with me at once, "Reno's eyes glared at the opposing group outside the arena.
Reno was not afraid of them at all because the five people in the opponent's group only had first-level Mlechha cultivation, which is far below Reno cultivation.
"Well then, please three representatives from group 2 immediately advance simultaneously to the arena!" Referee orders to group 2.
All representatives from group 2 were angry because the decision taken by Reno in front was an attitude of underestimating group 2.
Three people from group 2 went straight to the stage and then spoke alternately, "Hey runny boy! Kid! Who are you? God? Hah?"
"Do you think the semi-finals are the same as the qualifying round? in this section, there are no weak participants. "
"Stupid boy, let's burn alive this boy!"
Reno just smiled curtly in response to their comments.
"Come, come, move forward," Reno spoke while thrusting his hands forward, then his fingers danced back and forth, inviting a fuss.
Not long after, three shadows darted in front of him, attacking blindly.
Reno was still silent in its original position, completely motionless.
When the attacks came to Reno, he only moved - left and right body movements, right, bent, or jumped without changing positions.
The way Reno avoids enemy attacks is an action that provokes the opposing group.
Reno did not move from his position when he avoided all the attacks that came.
Seeing how well Reno is in fending off and avoiding attacks coming from his three opponents, the referee on duty on this stage glares in disbelief.
Mei Li, who was used to Reno's action in each battle, still showed a surprised expression.
Singgih and Mangku Alam's facial expressions also seemed "shocked" to see the fight before them.
For more than 30 minutes, the battle between Reno and the three youths on the arena had taken place.
Although three against one, Reno seemed not cornered at all. On the other hand, the look on the faces of the three young men who became Reno’s opponents began to show pallor.
The three young men then jumped backward 3-meters from their respective positions and began chanting - reading the spells of the fingers to their opponents again, forming the "Hand Seal."
Soon a beam of light began to emerge from the palm of each young man's hand.
Three light balls in the size of a soccer ball came out from each palm of the three young men above the arena, then shot towards Reno.
Reno smiled wryly and threw a smoke bomb to the ground.
"Booommmmmm"
Immediately the smoke began to envelop the arena making the sight of the three young men difficult to see Reno movement.
Reno no longer visible above the arena that currently filled with fog.
The ball of light ejected from the palms of the three young men above the arena passed without injuring Reno at all.
"Whosssshhh"
"Whosssshhh"
"Whossssshh"
Seeing three translucent light balls pass by, the three opponents of Reno began to worry.
Their vision was blurred, blocked by the haze.
"Jlebbb"
"Jlebbb"
"Jlebbb"
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh"
A sudden shouting sound echoed above the arena.
The views around the Arena are hard to see because the arena currently covered with thick fog from the smoke bomb.
Slowly, the fog above the arena began to disappear little by little.
All participants were surprised by the scene before them when the fog began to disappear.
The scene before them makes them confused beyond reason.
Three young men from group 2 who were Reno’s opponents were all lying covered in blood on the arena floor.
