In the second round, the semi-finals, the fifty disciples would draw lots and compete against each other.
During the first round of the preliminaries, the Sword Sect had eliminated a total of four disciples, and at this moment, only six remained. Unfortunately, there were actually two disciples from the Sword Sect who were in the same position during the second round of the preliminaries, and one of them was bound to be eliminated.
It couldn't be said whether their luck was good or bad. Although one of them would definitely be eliminated, the other would definitely be able to advance.
Lin Tian still didn't meet a strong opponent. He easily won and advanced to the third round. However, Xing Feng's luck wasn't good this time. He met a disciple from the Spear Sect, whose strength was at the mid-stage of the 7th layer of the Body Refinement Realm. He was defeated without any suspense and was stopped in the top fifty.
In reality, with his strength, he might have had the strength to fight in the first round. However, in the second round, no matter who he met, he would only be defeated. This was because the disciples who advanced to the second round were all at least at the 7th layer of the Body Refinement Realm.
After the second round, there were three people from the Sword Sect left. To be able to have three people enter the top twenty-five was already an extremely dazzling achievement in the history of the Sword Sect. Among the top twenty-five, the Axe Sect had the least number of people. They only had two people.
In the third round, a disciple from the Wonder Gate Sect was lucky enough to pass. As for Lin Tian, he met the first seeded contestant in the top ten, the current number one disciple of the Saber Sect.
This disciple had also obtained the eighth place in the previous Great Sect Competition, which was even higher than Lin Tian's ranking. But this time around, facing Lin Tian, who had improved tremendously, it was hard to tell who would emerge victorious.
After a fierce battle, Lin Tian didn't disappoint everyone in the end, and he defeated this Saber Sect disciple in this round, causing him to stop at the top 25. This was probably the worst result the Saber Sect had achieved in so many years.
Originally, after Xu Wenyang's death, this disciple was the one who had the greatest chance of entering the top ten. However, he had now been defeated by Lin Tian. In this way, it was extremely likely that the Saber Sect wouldn't have a place in the top ten of the Sect Competition.
Time passed by slowly. The Grand Competition continued to move forward. The third round, the fourth round …
However, in the fourth round, Lin Tian actually encountered Mo Qiuchen!
The two top contenders for first place, the biggest highlight of this year's Sect Grand Tournament, had already met each other before even entering the top ten!
The hearts of all the disciples of the Sword Sect sank when they witnessed this outcome. Mo Melancholy's strength was undoubtedly the strongest in this year's competition. On the other hand, even though Lin Tian was strong, he only had the qualifications to fight Mo Melancholy, so it was extremely difficult for him to defeat Mo Melancholy!
"Is the heavens really not protecting my Sword Sect?" When he heard this outcome, Elder Cheng's voice trembled slightly.
Lu Xuan's absence had already dealt a heavy blow to Sword Sect. Now, Lin Tian had run into Mo Jiuchen ahead of time, and it was highly likely that he would be stopped here. According to the rules of the tournament, no matter how well Lin Tian performed, he would at most be able to get seventh place!
They possessed the strength to be ranked at the 2nd position, yet they were only able to obtain the 8th position. Such an outcome was simply difficult for the members of the Sword Sect to accept.
When he saw this scene, the Saber Sect's Elder Yu didn't dare reveal a delighted expression due to Elder Jin and Chen Mo's presence, but he was extremely delighted in his heart. The Saber Sect's results were extremely terrible this time, but the Sword Sect could forget about getting any better!
"Forget it, forget it …" Elder Lin shook his head repeatedly and didn't say anything else. His luck wasn't on his side, so there was no point in saying anything more.
With heavy steps, Lin Tian and Mo Jiuchen ascended the arena.
"Although it's a pity, I won't hold back." Mo Jiuchen said in a low voice as he looked at Lin Tian.
"There's no need to hold back. I've wanted to fight you for a long time. This time, let me see your true strength!" Lin Tian took a deep breath and said slowly. Without Lu Xuan, the Sword Sect's glory rested on him.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, the two popular disciples for the championship began the curtains of their battle.
Spear Intent against Sword Intent. The middle stage of the 8th level of the Body Refinement Realm against the early stage of the 8th level of the Body Refinement Realm.
Although Lin Tian displayed his strongest strength, Mo Jiuchen's strength didn't disappoint in the end. He defeated Lin Tian and entered the next round.
Although this outcome was within the expectations of the members of the Sword Sect, when they saw it for themselves, they were still extremely depressed.
"Senior Brother Lin is already very strong, but that Mo Jiuchen is too strong. I really can't accept this!"
"Yes, it's a pity that Senior Brother Lu isn't here. Otherwise, no matter who he faces, he would definitely be able to win in a single battle. This feeling is too depressing to watch the first place slip away from our hands."
…
Everyone in the Sword Sect felt suffocated in their hearts. They clearly possessed the strength to seize the first position, yet in the end, they'd only obtained such a result. How could they be willing to accept this? It wasn't just for the resources for the next year, it was also for the glory of the Sword Sect.
They were all members of the Sword Sect, and they had been looked down upon by the other branch sects for many years. They had hoped to rise up this time, but they didn't expect to encounter so many accidents.
After losing to Mo Jiuchen, Lin Tian had lost the qualification to fight for the top seven. However, his strength was still there, so he couldn't enter the top seven, but he still obtained the eighth place.
This result was a lot better than the Sword Sect's last year, but the three great elders didn't feel happy at all. After all, they came here to fight for the first place, but in the end, they only obtained the eighth place. How could they accept this result?
After the last three of the top ten were decided, the competition for the top seven began. Mo Jiuchen was indeed worthy of being the favorite to win. With the long spear in his hand, he triumphed all the way and defeated several disciples in a row. In the end, he obtained the first place in the competition!
However, Mo Jiuchen didn't feel happy at all after obtaining the first place, because he didn't meet the opponent he wanted. Among the entire Inner Sect disciples, the only one who caught his attention was Lu Xuan.
Not to mention the people in front of him, even if Xu Wenyang didn't die, he wouldn't take him seriously.
Standing alone on the arena, Mo Jiuchen was like the proud and lonely long spear behind him, standing straight, as if he was still waiting for someone.
The top ten had already been decided. The grand competition seemed to be full of passion, but at the same time, it was incomparably dull. It gave the disciples a strange feeling, but they also knew why this strange feeling came. It was because this grand competition was missing one person, and it was precisely because he was missing that the Sect's Grand Competition became dull.
But unfortunately, until now, Lu Xuan still hadn't returned. No one knew where he was, and no one knew when he would return.
At the judge's seat, Instructor Yang stood up, Chen Mo stood up, and the other Enchanting Hall elders stood up. Next, the Sect's Grand Competition's ranking would be announced, and at the same time, it was time for Chen Mo to settle the score!
But at this moment, suddenly, a loud laughter came from the sky, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Obviously, the person was approaching quickly.
Lin Xinyi's heart suddenly jumped, and she looked at Xia Ye. Both of them saw a trace of joy in each other's eyes. Could it be that Ninth Uncle had returned with Lu Xuan?
The two of them quickly turned their heads, and a trace of doubt flashed across their faces. They saw a huge aircraft flying in the sky at high speed, and they could vaguely see many people standing on the aircraft. Obviously, it was definitely not Ninth Uncle or Lu Xuan.
"Elder Jin, long time no see. I heard that today is the day of the Wind Sword School's grand competition, and I have specially brought the disciples of the Sky Saber Sect to attend the ceremony!" A clear voice fell into everyone's ears.
Hearing this, the inner sect disciples' expressions changed. The person who came was from the Sky Saber Sect!
They naturally knew about the Sky Saber Sect. It was a third-grade sect on the same level as the Wind Sword School, and it was adjacent to the Wind Sword School's territory. Although the two sects did not have much enmity with each other, they were competitors.
The aircraft descended quickly and landed next to the arena in front of the crowd. There were about a dozen people standing on the aircraft, three of whom were dressed as Elders, and the rest were dressed as disciples.
Seeing this, Elder Jin's face darkened slightly. They did not come with good intentions. If they really wanted to attend the ceremony, why would they only arrive now?
"Oh, it's Elder Gong from the Sky Saber Sect. What a rare guest. However, the Sword Sect's grand competition has ended, and I'm afraid Elder Gong is a little late." Elder Jin said with a fake smile.
Hearing this, Elder Gong pretended not to know, "Oh? It's already over? That's such a pity. I didn't get to witness the glory of your sect's disciples. I originally wanted my disciples to learn from them, but it's such a pity. "
Then, he changed his tone and said, "But it's fine. I came here this time to attend the ceremony, and also to bring my disciples here to exchange pointers with your sect's geniuses. It's not too late since your sect's geniuses are all here."
After saying this, Elder Gong looked at Elder Jin with a smile.
Hearing this, the Sky Saber Sect's intention was clear. Of all times, they came only after the grand competition had ended. They were obviously here to provoke the Sword Sect!
Elder Jin's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Elder Gong, are you here to provoke the Wind Sword School?"
Elder Gong waved his hand and said, "Elder Jin, why do you say that? We are all under the Mysterious Ice Pavilion. Of course, we should communicate with each other and learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses. This is a good opportunity to use your sect's geniuses to teach my disciples a lesson, lest they become arrogant and do not know that there is always someone better out there."
However, although he said this, he did not look like he was asking for guidance. The Sky Saber Sect's disciples behind him all looked arrogant as they sized up the disciples of the Wind Sword School with disdain. There was no need for words to provoke them.
"What's wrong? Elder Jin, you don't seem to welcome us? Don't you want to teach my disciples a lesson? " After a pause, the smile on Elder Gong's face gradually disappeared, and he slowly spat out a few words, "Or … you don't dare?"
Or don't dare?
Hearing this, all the disciples of the Wind Sword School became angry. The Sky Saber Sect was too arrogant!
They were being bullied in their own territory. How could they tolerate this!
Although the Inner Sect of the Wind Sword School was divided into nine sub-sects, and there were conflicts in the open and in the dark, in the face of an external enemy, they were completely united and united against the common enemy.
