Rumble!
The extremely condensed, symbolizing Wu Zong's high-handed pale purple protective aura simultaneously appeared on both of them. Unlike the emperor-level masters, the two people's auras seemed to be between reality and illusion, as if they had solidified into substantial armor, and in an instant, they became more and more restrained, more and more condensed.
Hehe!
The two, who had clashed multiple times within the Imperial Newcomer's Hall, seemed to be in perfect sync, taking a step forward at the same time and charging towards each other. Their treasured swords tore through the air, like two blazing suns, stabbing at each other in mid-air.
There was no display of sword energy wreaking havoc, as if everyone knew that a simple attack relying on sword energy would be ineffective against the opponent. Therefore, from the start, they fell into a fierce and intense close combat!
Ding ding ding...... Boom boom boom......
Two figures met in mid-air, and in that instant, a dense and terrifying clash of metal rang out, accompanied by the explosive sound of energy collisions. In the blink of an eye, it happened thousands of times. The speed was so fast that most people only saw a flash of sword light, unable to discern how many swords were actually wielded. However, the barrier surrounding the entire arena seemed as if it had been pierced by countless treasured swords, instantly bulging with innumerable protrusions, rising and falling in an endless cycle.
Clang!
After a fierce head-on collision, the two figures burst apart in mid-air and fell to the ground.
Li Yifeng continuously retreated several steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard ground. After retreating ten steps, he finally stabilized his body, with a trace of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
Ni Jianping, who had flown out backwards, steadied himself within five steps, his face equally tense as he forcibly suppressed the surging blood and energy.
"I'll wait for you to catch up with me!"
The two of them gazed at each other from a distance for several seconds before Nie Jian slowly sheathed his sword and spoke calmly.
"Very soon!"
Li Yifeng smiled slightly, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes as he spoke. At the same time, he also sheathed his own treasured sword.
……
"Is that it?"
Dongfang Jun's eyes widened in surprise as he said. Many disciples on the martial arts field were like Dongfang Jun, still not understanding what was going on.
"A master's move, especially when familiar with each other's moves, can decide the outcome in one strike! Instantly 981 swords... Li Yifeng was actually able to keep up... For now, Li Yifeng has lost, losing in terms of realm!"
What astonished Dongfang Jun, Yun Feiyan, and even Huang Qi was that Chen Huan narrowed his eyes, his voice filled with a strong fighting spirit, and slowly said. What's more surprising is that he even reported the exact number of swords drawn by the opponent.
Even if it were Huang Qi and other masters, they couldn't do it. They can see every sword clearly, but who would count how many swords the opponent has? At most, they can only estimate a number. But Chen Huan was accurate to the individual digit...
……
The next day, the arbitration team arranged the opponents for each match, and did not arrange several matches at once, but rather one by one, to conduct a screening.
The first round, Chen Hao vs. Yin Feng Han. This dead eunuch did not hesitate to choose to admit defeat. Even if he hated Chen Hao so much that he wanted to pinch him to death, there was no room for ambiguity, no way out. With Chen Hao's current strength, if he were to go up, he dared to be certain that with Chen Hao's temperament, he would definitely kill him without hesitation, and he couldn't resist...
After Yin Feng Han directly admitted defeat, the referee arranged Nanmen Yi and Wen Bai Ming to fight Chen Huan again. Both of them also chose to admit defeat. When he was only a seventh-grade martial emperor, he could make Wei Chen admit defeat and even promoted to eighth-grade martial emperor on the spot. Who else dared to fight him?
Approaching the stage, it was Ming Hao's arrangement, followed by Dan Tai Lian. The result was the same; Yin Feng Han and four others who had not fought against either of them chose to admit defeat.
Then came Wei Chen, who had fought with Chen Huan the day before, and was arranged to fight against three Wu Zong, all of whom admitted defeat.
Such an arrangement directly made four people with low cultivation become the third echelon.
However, the subsequent arrangement made everyone surprisingly discover that Chen Huan was not in the category of the second echelon, but actually rose to the first echelon with the three major martial arts sects.
Because, first, Ming Hao and Han Tai Lian were separately arranged to go up against Xiang Jian Ping, both of whom conceded. Next was the match against Yang Fan and Li Yi Feng, both of whom also conceded again. On the other hand, there wasn't an arrangement for three people to go up against Chen Huan. It's very clear that in the eyes of the arbitration team, Chen Huan's strength had absolutely reached the point where he could contend with the three Wu Zong.
Finally, after the expected loss in the qualifying match, the first match was Chen Hao vs. Tantai Lian!
This is going to be a real showdown!
……
Wow...
With the appearance of Chen Hao and Dan Tai Lian, the martial arts arena, which had been quiet for half a day, suddenly boiled over. Everyone wanted to see again Chen Hao's unparalleled skills that turned martial arts into art, and everyone also wanted to know whether Chen Hao could still handle Dan Tai Lian, who was much stronger than Wei Chen!
However, to everyone's slight disappointment, Chen Huan once again displayed his unparalleled skills, but it seemed that Dantai Lian's spiritual power was too strong, making it impossible for him to play around, and he was even forced into a desperate situation.
The battle lasted for a full five minutes and ended with the same result as yesterday's match between Ming Hao and Dan Tai Lian, both were severely injured, it was a draw!
Such a result made the usually calm and collected Lian very satisfied, but also slightly surprised. Although Chen Huan's injuries were genuine and he seemed to have exhausted all his energy, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off, and she was almost certain that Chen Huan hadn't gone all out.
"Could it be... he did it on purpose? Why would he do that? Could it be that he... himself..."
Lying on the ground, Dong Tai Lian stared at Chen Huan who was also lying on the ground, ignoring the severe injuries in her body, thinking in her heart, her pale face suddenly flashed a hint of blush.
"It's settled then! He could have clearly beaten me, but he deliberately drew with me. Once he defeats Miao Minghao, I'll be fifth and successfully obtain the qualification for the Hundred Schools Ranking!"
As Chen Huan and Tantai Lian were respectively carried away by their own people, Tantai Lian's gaze still stared blankly at Chen Huan.
……
Huang Qi and the masters on the chairman's platform also furrowed their brows. According to their estimates, Chen Hao should have had at least a 60% chance of winning, but how did it end in a draw?
Is it that Lingtai Lian's spiritual power is too strong and has exceeded Chen Huan's control?
Although Chen Huan's appearance was indeed seriously injured, Chen Huan had a history of this kind of thing, which made everyone feel a bit strange.
Dongfang Jun, who clearly knew how much Chen Hao and Míng Hào hated each other, watched as Chen Hao returned and directly began to recover from his injuries. This guy's eyes were rolling wildly, obviously in a state of extreme agitation. Others couldn't be certain, but Dongfang Jun's intuition told him that Chen Hao was doing it on purpose. Although the price he paid was a bit too high, striking back at Míng Hào like this was truly exhilarating, so exhilarating it was almost bursting!
Dongfang Jun really wanted to burst out laughing at Xī Míng Hào right now, and scornfully scold him a few times, mock him a few times...
But still, we have to give Chen Hao some face, otherwise it wouldn't be good if Chen Hao's efforts were too obvious.
……
"Damn it!"
Mi Ming Hao's face turned pale with rage, his teeth clenched so hard they were about to shatter, and the veins on his face bulged out. His fists were clenched into tight balls, making cracking sounds. He wasn't an idiot, so he could naturally guess that Chen Huan was probably doing it on purpose. How could he not be furious?
A fierce anger burned within him, burning him to the point where he was about to explode at any moment.
"No one can stop my footsteps! No one! What's the use of having a 40% chance of winning? Without Ding Tai Lian's keen senses, my spatial energy will be unleashed to its maximum power... Hmph! I'll make you die! Die!" Ming Hao's eyes almost spat out fire as he stared at Chen Huan's figure, roaring in his heart.
……
The next two games were a battle between Yin Feng Han and the four people divided into two groups, Wen Bai Ming defeated Wei Chen, Nanmen Yi defeated Yin Feng Han.
Then, symbolizing today's final showdown, Yang Fan vs Li Yifeng began once again.
But the two guys under everyone's attention surprisingly didn't immediately go on stage, instead they were quietly arguing about something.
"Flat Bureau?" Yang Fan said.
"No way! I want to have a fair and square fight with you!"
"Fifty thousand!"
"No way! We must fight!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand... Alright, I'll cash it in immediately."
"Damn it..." Looking at Li Yifeng stretching out his hand, Yang Fan suddenly burst out with a foul mouth, saying: "Ten million elixirs can't buy you not to bleed..."
"Damn it, I'm bleeding! You think you can get away scot-free? Cut the crap, hand it over! Or else we'll fight! Otherwise, I'll regret it... ten million dan medicine, all won from me..."
"Here!" Yang Fan directly tossed a storage ring to Li Yifeng.
"Two contestants..." Just then, the impatient judge shouted again.
"We often have a big fight, with equal strength, neither of us can gain the upper hand. Although I may be slightly better, I still can't win. He is slightly worse off, but he also can't lose. Judge, let's call it a draw!" Li Yifeng checked the medicine pill and, with a self-satisfied expression, loudly said to the direction of the arena.
Next to him, Nie Jianping was secretly glancing at the two of them, with a hint of completely incomprehensible emotion flashing in his eyes.
His intuition told him that Yang Fan was going to be stronger, more terrifying. But Yang Fan would rather pay 100,000 dan medicines to buy a draw from Li Yifeng, which made Nie Jianping completely incomprehensible.
This was beyond the referee's expectation, originally expected to be the last game today, but the two did not come out and announced a tie, meaning that Nie Jianping and Yang Fan can play against each other.
Because only the three of them and Míng Hào had not made a move. Míng Hào has already admitted defeat to the three. Nǐ Jiàn Píng and Lǐ Yì Fēng had already exchanged blows yesterday. Only Nǐ Jiàn Píng and Yáng Fán were left.
"Ni Jianping, Yang Fan, you two start first!" Mu Qing announced directly after frowning slightly when the referee looked towards the main stage.
When Mu Qing finished speaking, Ni Jianping looked at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan and Ni Jianping exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and with a whooshing sound, they rushed towards the stage.
"Damn it..." Li Yifeng cursed Yang Fan in a depressed tone, saying: "Yang Fan, if you have the ability, defeat Nie Jianping, otherwise I'll fight you to the death tonight!"
