Hearing Xia Yu's words, the top experts in the stands nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the betrothal gift was only one of the factors that determined the outcome of the Selection Ceremony. The other factor was the strength competition.
Moreover, the betrothal gift was only an external factor and could not determine a person's ability. After all, if a person was lucky, even if he or she did not have the ability, he or she could still obtain a supreme treasure.
In many people's eyes, the Bodhi Elixir and Treasure Pavilion that Jian Wushuang had just obtained were probably obtained by luck.
On the Drill Ground, Xia Mang had recovered from the shock and disbelief. His face was a little twisted as he glanced at Jian Wushuang, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Jian Wushuang, although I don't know how you got the Magic Weapon Pavilion, the next competition is a competition of strength and talent. This kind of competition is completely dependent on one's strength and there is no luck involved. I want to see what else you can use to compete with me!"
Xia Mang had absolute confidence in his own strength.
After all, he was recognized as the number one genius in the Eternal World.
He deserved to be the number one Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World.
Over the years, there had been many powerful Eternal Realm experts who had come to challenge him, but they had all been defeated by him.
His strength was beyond doubt. It was completely different from the betrothal gift competition.
On the stands, Emperor Leng, who was sitting in the center, looked down. "Next, it's a competition of strength and talent. As for the rules …"
Before Emperor Leng could finish, Dongyan Chong of the Dongyan Clan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Emperor Leng, there's no need to go through so much trouble in a competition of strength."
"Oh?" Emperor Leng glanced at Ku Yi.
Dongyan Chong said in a deep voice, "As we all know, Brother Xia Mang is recognized as the number one Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World and the number one genius. In terms of strength, he should be the strongest among us. Since the purpose of the Selection Ceremony is to select the strongest, there's no need to waste time."
"If any of us have any doubts about brother Xiamang's strength, we can challenge him directly. If we win, we will naturally win. As for me, I know that I am no match for brother Xiamang. Therefore, I will forfeit this round."
Many people agreed with Dongyan Chong's words.
Indeed, if there were some unforeseen circumstances in the first round of the betrothal gifts competition, then there was really no suspense in the second round of the competition of strength.
Xia Mang, the first Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World, had long been recognized. The other geniuses participating in the competition might have extraordinary strength, but they were not at the same level as Xia Mang.
"Xiamang, what do you think?" Emperor Leng looked down.
"I have no objections." Xiamang laughed.
"What about you guys?" The Leng Thearch then looked at Jian Wushuang, Ku Yi, and the others. In the end, everyone nodded. Clearly, they agreed with this method of competition.
"So be it. If anyone has any doubts about Xia Mang's strength, you can challenge him. If you don't, you will forfeit." The Leng Thearch said.
As soon as the Leng Thearch finished speaking, except for Jian Wushuang, the other 15 geniuses in the center of the Drill Ground all looked at Xia Mang.
More than half of the 15 geniuses, like Dongyan Chong, did not want to fight with Xia Mang. The others were also hesitant.
Finally, a long-haired man with a saber on his back stepped out.
This long-haired man was the personal disciple of Deep Sea Palace Master, Li Tianchou!
Li Tianchou appeared in front of Xia Mang with a cold face. His Killing Intent was particularly shocking.
"I have long heard that Master Xia is the first Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to meet you. Since I have met you today, I would like to have a good fight with you. Besides, since I stepped into Step Six of the Eternal Realm a thousand years ago, I have met many top Eternal Realm experts and have never been defeated. I hope I can lose today." Li Tianchou's voice carried a trace of coldness.
"As you wish." Xia Mang smiled faintly. His words and actions carried absolute confidence. "Go ahead."
"Humph!"
Li Tianchou was also very decisive. After a cold snort, he directly attacked.
With a sway of his body, he dashed out like a ghost. The Void in front of Xia Mang was suddenly torn apart, and a strong gust of wind swept out.
Li Tianchou's body appeared. When he appeared, the saber on his back had already appeared in his hand. A tyrannical and violent aura burst out.
Hua!
The pitch-black saber shadow, like a ghost, strangely swung out.
Xia Mang had been standing there quietly. When he saw Li Tianchou swinging his saber and the ghost-like saber shadow sweeping toward him, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then, he directly slapped his palm forward.
This slap was light and gentle, without the slightest movement.
But when this slap landed on Li Tianchou's saber, it immediately burst out an incomparably terrifying power. It was as if the whole world was crushing down, and Li Tianchou was forced to retreat.
"What?"
Li Tianchou was secretly shocked.
He did not expect that his saber would be so easily blocked by Xia Mang and even forced to retreat.
"No wonder you're the first Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal World. You're really strong. So …"
Li Tianchou no longer held back. A vast black airflow surged wildly from his body. This black airflow rapidly expanded to the surroundings. In just a moment, it turned into a huge black sea.
This sea was so huge that it covered more than half of the Drill Ground. In the black sea, Li Tianchou's figure could no longer be seen.
On the spectator stand, the top experts who were watching the battle sighed when they saw this scene. They all looked at a gloomy old man in a black robe with stubble. This gloomy old man was Li Tianchou's master, Deep Sea Palace Master.
"Deep Sea Palace Master, your disciple is not bad. At such a young age, he has cultivated your unique Secret Skill to such a level."
"Look at the way this little guy is using the Secret Skill. He has completely mastered the first chapter of the Transforming Sea Secret Skill. It seems that he is not far from opening up his own Dao and becoming a Dao Master."
"Deep Sea Palace, congratulations on having a good disciple."
Deep Sea Palace Master snorted coldly and said, "My disciple's strength is not bad, but compared with Xia Mang, he is still far behind. I think Xia Mang's attack just now contained part of his Dao."
