Chen Feng frowned and looked at Xu Chen who jumped off the ring, and then looked at Shi Hao who fell off the ring with a pale face.
After all, Shi Hao was an eighth-level warrior in the Qi Condensation Realm, but he was knocked off the ring by Xu Chen in a head-on confrontation. This was unusual.
In addition to his body skills, could his combat power in head-on combat be comparable to that of the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm?
impossible!
It should be that Shi Hao lacked spiritual power in the end and was unable to exert his peak combat power, so he was defeated by Xu Chen through trickery.
Yes.
That must be the case.
"No. 1 vs. No. 7."
It's his turn to play.
Xu Chen, who jumped off the ring, did not focus on the No. 7 ring, but looked at the No. 1 ring.
now.
The person on stage No. 7 is a young man with a sword on his back, a strong and burly figure, and exuding evil aura.
This person has a name that is well known to all the inner disciples, Cao Man!
The number one inner disciple.
Undisputed number one.
His power made all the inner disciples despair, and no one dared to challenge him.
It is said that Sikong Tu, who came in second place, once challenged him in private and failed in three moves.
I don’t know whether this news is true or false.
When he came to power, no one dared to fight with him, and they all took the initiative to admit defeat.
It's already the eighth round.
In the first seven rounds, he didn't even take a shot.
This time.
His opponent was Li Ping, who was ranked sixth in the inner sect. He was at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm. He had won all the first seven battles. This time, he was unfortunate to encounter Cao Man.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Li Ping stepped onto the stage, clenched his big hand, and a spear appeared in his hand. He held the spear straight and pointed directly at Cao Man.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
He doesn't admit defeat.
He wants to fight Cao Man.
"Wow~"
The whole crowd exploded.
Finally someone dared to shoot Cao Man.
Cao Man looked at Li Ping, who was facing a formidable enemy, and told the truth with an expressionless face, "You are no match for me."
Li Ping was not annoyed at all.
Because what Cao Man said was the truth.
Cao Man held the gun handle tightly and said slowly: "I know I am not your opponent, but I will not admit defeat. I want you to use your sword to see how far the gap between you and me is."
"as you wish."
Cao Man drew his sword from behind.
"Be careful."
He gave a hint.
next moment.
Standing on the spot, he slashed straight with the sword.
The sword flashed.
"Crack!"
The spear in Li Ping's hand was broken, and he was also thrown away. A knife mark was opened on his chest, and blood was flowing everywhere.
"puff!"
Li Ping fell off the ring and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and he stared at the broken spear in his hand in despair. For a long time, he finally said in a hoarse voice.
"It turns out the gap between you and me is so big."
this moment.
The whole place was silent.
Everyone was staring at the man on the first stage who sheathed his sword.
The other contestants who were fighting in the nine arenas couldn't help but stop fighting.
Cao Man defeated Li Ping with one blow.
Everyone knew that Cao Man had spared his hand with that knife, otherwise Li Ping would have definitely been split in two.
How strong is he?
no one knows.
Because, no one in the inner sect can force him to use all his strength.
"It's so powerful, it's so powerful!"
Su Yue's eyes widened and he kept mumbling. Then he looked at the people around him, "Sister-in-law, how strong is Cao Man?"
The cold woman said slowly: "He is no longer on the same level as you."
at the same time.
Xu Chen closed his eyes and kept replaying the knife attack in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion.
He was less than 30% sure that he would be able to receive the knife without any injury.
There is a 50% certainty that after taking the sword, you will be injured by the sword's energy.
Now, he is not Cao Man's opponent.
His cultivation level is too low.
The sixth level of Qi Condensation Realm.
no.
He needs to improve his cultivation before the finals so that he can be qualified to fight Cao Man.
Xu Chen silently made up his mind.
Sikong Tu, who was second in the inner sect, gave a bitter smile, "He is getting stronger and stronger. He is really a desperate guy."
Long Feiyu, who was third in the inner sect, stared at Cao Man for a moment, then sighed and said, "Maybe he is no longer on the same level as us."
Sun Yuan, who was fourth, clenched the sword in his hand, "His sword is faster and sharper. I am no match for him."
Bo Tianxiong: "..."
Dongfang Sheng: "..."
…
…
The top disciples in the inner sect each expressed their feelings.
They have the same idea, Cao Man is invincible.
First, you already have a place to belong.
What they are fighting for next is not first place, but second place.
Although the second-placed Sikong Tu is strong, he is not as powerful as Cao Man. He is so powerful that it is disappointing. Therefore, they are still confident in competing for the second seat.
Under the gaze of countless awe and adoring eyes, Cao Man slowly walked off the ring.
Five sets of platforms.
Gu Cheng versus Fang Yi.
Gu Cheng, ranked eleventh in the inner sect, is only one step away from the top ten.
Fang Yi is unknown in the inner sect and has no reputation.
This battle seems to be doomed.
Fang Yi was a stern young man. Facing Gu Cheng, he pulled out his sword with an expressionless expression and struck out.
"laugh!"
The golden sword light emerged and struck Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng smiled faintly, pulled out his long sword, and waved it casually.
The sword energy was flowing horizontally and strangled towards the golden sword light.
"Chi~"
The sword energy collided with the golden sword light, and unexpectedly quickly disintegrated.
It's like the first snow meeting the scorching sun.
The defeat was so clean and swift.
Gu Cheng's pupils shrank.
next moment.
He only heard a click sound, and the golden sword light struck the long sword in his hand. The long sword made of fine iron broke into two pieces, and his chest hurt and blood spurted out.
Gu Cheng snorted and backed away.
After stabilizing his body, he looked down and saw a knife mark on his chest. The light golden knife light continued to damage his wound, causing him even more damage.
"I, I lost!"
Gu Cheng broke his hand and the sword fell to the ground with a clang, and said in despair.
The sword destroyed his sword energy, broke his long sword, and even left scars on his chest. He lost without regrets.
The spectators near the five groups of platforms were all dumbfounded.
They looked at each other.
Followed.
There was a roar of discussion.
"I defeated Senior Brother Gu Cheng, who was ranked eleventh in the inner sect, with one sword. Fang Yi suddenly appeared, how powerful he is!"
"It's incredible. When did such a powerful person appear from the inner sect?"
"Even Gu Cheng was defeated with one sword. Doesn't it mean that Fang Yi has the top ten combat power in the inner sect!"
At the elders' table.
An elder noticed Fang Yi.
"This Fang Yi is pretty good. He actually understood the secret of gold. But looking at the sword strike he made just now, he probably hasn't fully understood the secret of gold yet. He's only half-stepped into the secret of gold."
"Give him time, and it will not be a problem to comprehend the complete secret of gold. It seems that another genius will appear in our Qingling Sect."
"This boy has comprehended half a step of the Mystery of Gold. With the blessing of the Mystery of Gold, his attack intensity has doubled, and he has unparalleled destructive power. Not surprisingly, he should be able to enter the top ten of the competition."
"It's not easy to understand the profound meaning. This child should be trained with the most emphasis."
Xu Chen looked at Fang Yi who was walking down the ring, "Is the secret of half-step gold? Interesting."
After the eighth battle.
It's getting dark.
The participating disciples went back to rest one after another.
After one night.
The next day, before dawn, the Martial Arts Square was already overcrowded.
In order to occupy a seat with a better view, many people did not return and rested in Budo Square for the night.
in the room.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes.
A look of physical pain flashed across his face.
Three hundred thousand spirit stones.
It took him a total of three hundred thousand spiritual stones to break through from the sixth level of Qi Condensation Realm to the eighth level of Qi Condensation Realm.
Overnight, he broke through two small realms in succession, the speed was staggering.
But the price paid is also unacceptable to ordinary people.
How many Qi Condensation Realm warriors can produce 300,000 spirit stones?
If Xu Chen hadn't made the trip to Shuifu and destroyed the Zhao family, he wouldn't have been able to spend so much money.
Turning to look out the window.
It's already getting bright.
I washed my face, went out and walked towards the Martial Arts Square.
Shortly after.
The elders took the stage.
The game continues.
Game nine.
"Seven groups of arenas, No. 3 versus No. 20."
Number three is Qin Yi.
Number 20 is Xu Chen.
After the elder finished speaking, the audience near the seven groups of arenas became excited.
Xu Chen and Qin Yi both practiced the Wind Shadow Step, and they both practiced the Wind Shadow Step to the peak stage.
Between two people who are good at speed, who is stronger and who is weaker?
"Xu Chen, it's dangerous."
"Yes, although he has practiced Fengying Step to the peak stage, there is still a big gap between him and Senior Brother Qin Yi."
"Senior Brother Qin Yi is at the ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm, and he has practiced the Wind Shadow Step to the peak stage a year ago. No matter how you look at it, Xu Chen has no chance of winning."
"I'm not optimistic about Xu Chen either."
Xu Chen naturally heard everyone's discussion.
Being disliked by everyone, his expression did not change at all and he slowly walked onto the ring.
"Hoo~"
The wind blows.
Qin Yi's figure suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
