Witnessing it with one's own eyes was always the most shocking. Hearsay was unable to determine how strong a person was. However, witnessing it with one's own eyes was a completely different matter.
Many of the disciples looked at Xiao Chen in a daze. Who would have thought that the outcome of the battle would be like this? In a blink of an eye, the outcome of the battle was decided with a single finger.
However, as the saying goes, the layman only enjoys the show while the expert observes the skill. While they were still in shock, Gu Lingyao and a few other disciples, as well as Gu Qi and the older generation experts, all of them felt a trace of sharp sword intent from Xiao Chen's finger.
"Wang Huan, that brat actually managed to grasp sword intent?" Gu Qi looked at Xiao Chen in bewilderment as he thought in his heart.
It wasn't that there weren't any people who had comprehended the concept of power in the Tianqi Sect, but they were extremely rare. As for Wang Huan, he was a hedonistic young master who didn't seek to improve himself. Yet, he had actually comprehended the concept of power.
Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Xiao Chen walked down the stage unhurriedly. He walked over to the big tree and laid down. The first round should still take some time. After that, there was nothing else for him to do.
Once again, he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest. At the same time, the first round of battle continued.
Gradually, those prided kings of the Tianqi Sect also started to make their moves. Just like Xiao Chen, when facing their opponents, these few prided kings of the Tianqi Sect were also able to determine the outcome of their battle with a single move.
With regards to these few prided kings of the Tianqi Sect, Xiao Chen paid attention to them. There were a total of three of them. Other than Gu Lingyao and Cheng Yu, there was another person called Cao He who had also reached the level of a prided king.
However, just a sect had three prided kings. This Tianhe Continent wasn't something the Tianchen Continent could compare with. Furthermore, this Tianqi Sect was just a fake sage clan. Within the sect, there were only half-sages and no true sages.
Just the Celestial Equal Sect alone had three prided monarchs. It was hard to imagine how many prided monarchs existed in those true Saint Rank clans.
After observing Gu Lingyao and the other two, Cheng Yu and Cao He didn't have any outstanding points. They were only able to step into the ranks of the proud kings. There was still some distance between them and Xiao Chen. However, what made Xiao Chen surprised was that he was unable to see through Gu Lingyao.
Perhaps it was because she had only used one move, but Xiao Chen was sure that Gu Lingyao was the strongest among the three of them.
The entire first round lasted for an entire day before it ended. As for Xiao Chen, he had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Celestial Equal Sect disciples after the first round of battles.
To be honest, other than Gu Lingyao, the rest of them were not worth his attention. Even Cheng Yu and Cao He were only able to enter Xiao Chen's eyes.
After the first round ended, half of the participants were eliminated. After resting for an hour, the second round began.
The rules didn't change, but compared to the first round, those who were able to enter the second round were much stronger. Even the weakest among them had already reached the ranks of the peak geniuses.
One by one, the names of the disciples were called out. One by one, the battles started. During the second round, Xiao Chen also went up. However, as expected, he still defeated his opponent with a single finger.
For the second round, Xiao Chen defeated his opponent with a single finger. However, compared to the first round, Xiao Chen's victory didn't cause the crowd to be surprised like before.
Since they already knew of Xiao Chen's strength, they were already mentally prepared for such an outcome.
After the second round ended, Xiao Chen once again leaned on the tree trunk to rest. However, what made Xiao Chen feel helpless was that Gu Lingyao was also doing the same thing. Every time after the battle ended, Gu Lingyao would return here and lie down beside Xiao Chen without any pretense.
Facing Gu Lingyao's actions, Xiao Chen felt helpless. However, he was also unable to stop it. Fortunately, Gu Lingyao only laid down beside him and didn't continue to trick him. This allowed Xiao Chen to end the battle.
Round after round of battles ended. After four rounds of battles, Xiao Chen had swept through all of them. No one was a match for Xiao Chen.
At the fifth round, which was also the last round, there were only 10 disciples left. In other words, as long as they were able to survive this round, they would be able to obtain the qualifications to participate in the competition.
Ten people were going to fight for five spots, and the two people fighting in the first round surprised everyone. The deacon on the stage shouted loudly, "Let's see who's going to be the next one.
"Fifth round, first battle, Wang Huan versus Cheng Yu."
Following the deacon's voice, everyone was stunned. What was going on? Senior Brother Wang Huan versus Senior Brother Cheng Yu? The two prideful kings were going to clash?
With regards to such an arrangement, all of the disciples were shocked. Of course, they didn't know that all of this was secretly arranged by the second elder. When Gu Qi heard the deacon's words, he glanced at the second elder indifferently. It was obvious that he had already guessed something, but he didn't say anything.
When Xiao Chen heard his name, he stood up. However, this time, Gu Lingyao spoke, "Senior Brother Cheng Yu is very strong. You be careful."
"Oh? Stronger than you?" When he heard Gu Lingyao's words, Xiao Chen smiled as he replied.
When he heard Xiao Chen's words, Gu Lingyao was stunned. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen had already walked up to the stage. At the same time, Xiao Chen had also arrived in front of Xiao Chen. Both of them were 5 meters apart. When their eyes met, Cheng Yu smiled as he took the initiative to speak.
"Junior Brother Wang Huan, people always say that a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. Looking at you, it seems to be true. The trash from two years ago had actually become like this. However, Junior Brother has heard of a saying before. That is, even if a crow flies to a branch, it will never become a phoenix."
When facing Xiao Chen, Cheng Yu did not conceal the disdain in his heart. Although Xiao Chen was impersonating Wang Huan as the grandson of the first elder, Cheng Yu was also the direct disciple of the second elder. In addition, Cheng Yu was a prideful king. His status was not any lower than Wang Huan's. In fact, it might even be higher. After all, Cheng Yu was the real deal and would be the future pillar of Tianqi Sect.
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with ridicule. He could feel a faintly discernible killing intent from Cheng Yu. Regarding this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "Are you here to take revenge for that idiot Fang Yuan?"
Previously, he already knew of Cheng Yu's identity. He was the direct disciple of the second elder. And at this moment, when Cheng Yu revealed his killing intent, Xiao Chen easily guessed that Cheng Yu wanted to take revenge for Fang Yuan.
Xiao Chen did not intentionally conceal his words. Therefore, everyone present had heard it. When they heard that Cheng Yu actually wanted to take revenge for Fang Yuan, all of the disciples present started to discuss in whispers. Regarding this, Cheng Yu's complexion sank. He immediately shouted coldly, "Wang Huan, don't talk nonsense. When have I ever said that I wanted to take revenge for Junior Brother Fang Yuan?"
