The battle between Xiao Chen and Yun Chuan ended with Xiao Chen's victory. This outcome was actually not unexpected for Xiao Sheng and the other four ancestors. After all, Yun Chuan did not have much of a chance of winning against Xiao Chen at the same cultivation level.
However, Yun Chuan's combat strength was indeed extraordinary. At the very least, she was able to block Xiao Chen's strongest attack, the Shadow Bearing Sword Finger.
If it was any other Dao Emperor Stage expert, even if Xiao Chen's Shadow Bearing Sword Finger could not directly kill them, it would definitely be enough to heavily injure them. However, Yun Chuan had successfully blocked it and even sent the sword in her hand flying. In fact, she could be said to be completely unharmed.
The gap in strength between the ten great Chosen of the Sacred Palace was not too great. At the very least, it was not easy for Xiao Chen to defeat Yun Chuan.
Moreover, this was merely an ordinary spar. If it was a battle of life and death, even if Xiao Chen could defeat Yun Chuan, it would probably be even more troublesome to kill her. It was even possible that Yun Chuan would escape.
After the battle with Yun Chuan, Xiao Chen secretly estimated that if he wanted to kill Yun Chuan, he would only have a seventy percent chance of success. Moreover, he would have to go all out.
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Yun Chuan was not a sore loser. She nodded and revealed a faint smile on her face as she said, "Junior brother Xiao is indeed someone who has changed after three days. I admit defeat."
She very calmly admitted her defeat. Seeing this, Xiao Chen took the initiative to sheath his sword and said with a smile, "Senior sister Yun Chuan, thank you for letting me win."
The result had already been decided. Following this, no one continued to insist on Xiao Chen's position as the first Chosen Saint. Of course, people like Chen Yu, Chen Ling, and Long Qing naturally wouldn't challenge Xiao Chen. As for the remaining people, after witnessing the battle between Xiao Chen and Yun Chuan, they also let go of the dissatisfaction in their hearts and acknowledged Xiao Chen's strength.
After all, Xiao Chen had been reputed to have the strongest natural talent amongst all the Holy Sons and Holy Virgins on the Heavenly River Continent. At that time, Xiao Chen's only shortcoming was his cultivation. After all, Xiao Chen was young, and there was still a gap between his cultivation and theirs. But now, Xiao Chen had broken through to the Dao Emperor Realm, and the gap between their cultivations had been closed. Once the gap between their cultivations wasn't too great, there was naturally no need to doubt Xiao Chen's strength.
With the joint recommendation of the four Ancestors and Xiao Chen's various performances on the Heavenly River Continent, the position of the first Chosen Saint was taken by Xiao Chen without much resistance.
The first Chosen Saint of the Sacred Palace had been confirmed, and it was Xiao Chen. Next, the Chosen Saint Ranking Battle would officially begin.
In fact, the rules of the Chosen Saint Ranking Battle were simple. First, the second Chosen Saint would be determined. Anyone who felt that they could become the second Chosen Saint could enter the arena and accept the challenges of the other Holy Sons and Holy Virgins. The person who remained on the arena in the end would become the second Chosen Saint.
The rules of the Chosen Saint Ranking Battle were very simple and crude. As the ranking battle officially began, Chen Ling, who was sitting beside Xiao Chen, was the first to stand up and say, "I'll go first."
As he spoke, Chen Ling slowly walked into the array and waited for the other Holy Sons and Holy Virgins to challenge him.
Chen Ling was the first to stand up and compete for the position of the second Chosen Saint. Soon, a handsome young man stood up. This person was called Bai Yi, and he was once the first Chosen Saint of the Sky Saint Sect. Him entering the arena now meant that he also wanted the position of the second Chosen Saint.
The first battle of the Chosen Saint Ranking Battle was between Chen Ling and Bai Yi.
The Holy Sons were no strangers to Bai Yi. After all, he was already the first Chosen of the Sky Saint Sect. On the other hand, to be honest, the Holy Sons did not know much about Chen Ling.
In the array, Chen Ling and Bai Yi stood facing each other. Bai Yi slowly opened his mouth and said, "Brother Chen Ling, actually, I've always been very interested in you."
"Oh? That would be my honor. "Hearing this, Chen Ling lightly smiled as he replied.
"I've seen you fight with the Demon Race's Demon Son, so I know that you're very strong. I've wanted to fight with you for a long time. It seems that today is the best opportunity." Bai Yi said indifferently.
In the war with the Demon Race, Bai Yi had seen the battle between Chen Ling and the Demon Race's Demon Son. Since then, Bai Yi had always been very interested in Chen Ling.
As he spoke, a terrifying aura erupted from Bai Yi's body. This aura was slightly stronger than Yun Chuan's from before. Clearly, Bai Yi was stronger than Yun Chuan.
Bai Yi took the lead. Following Bai Yi's attack, the Sacred Palace's Chosen Saint Ranking Battle officially began. Bai Yi and Chen Ling immediately clashed.
Looking at the two people fighting fiercely in the array, Xiao Chen could remember that this was the first time Chen Ling had displayed his strength in front of so many people.
Although Xiao Chen had always known that Chen Ling was very strong, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Ling was a very mysterious person who rarely fought in front of everyone.
It was also because of this that the crowd began to discuss Chen Ling when they saw that Bai Yi and Chen Ling were locked in battle. After all, Bai Yi was once the first Chosen of the Sky Saint Sect, and now, Chen Ling was actually able to fight him to a standstill.
The battle lasted for a full eight hours before a victor was finally decided. Chen Ling's skills were better and he won.
After the end of the first battle, Chen Ling was given four hours to rest. After four hours, the other Holy Sons could continue their challenges.
However, what no one expected was that after Chen Ling defeated Bai Yi, no one continued to challenge him. Chen Yu had no intention of challenging him at all. In the end, Chen Ling successfully took the position of the second Chosen.
The Chosen Saint Ranking Battle lasted for a full four days. For the people present, four days without sleep was no longer a problem for them at their cultivation level.
Therefore, everyone present watched the Chosens Ranking Battle with great interest. Even after the last battle of the Chosens Ranking Battle ended, they still hadn't recovered from their shock.
After four days of intense battles, the ten Chosen of the Sacred Palace were finally ranked.
First Chosen, Xiao Chen.
Second Chosen, Chen Ling.
Third Chosen, Long Qing.
Fourth Chosen, Chen Yu.
Fifth Chosen, Emperor Qing.
Sixth Chosen, Bai Yi.
Seventh Chosen, Quan Lan.
Eighth Chosen, Hu Fei.
Ninth Chosen, Yun Chuan.
Tenth Chosen, Jiang Yue.
These were the final rankings of the ten Chosen of the Sacred Palace after four days of intense battles.
It was no exaggeration to say that these four days were a visual feast for everyone present. Moreover, the Sacred Palace had also shown everyone a little of the Sacred Palace's strength through the Chosen Saint Ranking Battle.
Any one of the ten Chosen could beat up cultivators of the same cultivation level. Moreover, even the weakest, the tenth Chosen, Jiang Yue, had the strength to fight against a half-saint.
Of course, for the Saints and Saintesses, combat strength was secondary. The most important thing was their potential, which was what made people fear them the most.
