The rankings and scores on the Ranking Stone Tablet were constantly changing. It was obvious that the disciples were fighting with all their might in the Sword Forest.
As for Zheng Gang, he was also at the 6th Body Refinement Realm. He was far ahead and occupied the first place without any signs of wavering. On the other hand, Xing Feng was closely following Zheng Gang's tail and occupied the second place. However, the distance between them was constantly increasing.
Of course, this did not mean that Xing Feng was second to Zheng Gang. This was because among the ninety people who participated in the test, not all the geniuses from the sub-sects participated.
Knowing that Zheng Gang's strength far surpassed everyone else, the sub-sects were naturally unwilling to send their geniuses out to be his stepping stone. Rather than that, it was better to obtain the first place in the next few rounds. Even if they could not obtain the first place among the new disciples in the end, they would not look so bad. Therefore, the sub-sects adopted the strategy of using the inferior to the superior.
As time passed, the rankings of the disciples on the Ranking Stone Tablet gradually stabilized. At this moment, a ray of light flashed in front of the Sword Forest. The first disciple who crushed the jade plate and was teleported out appeared.
Everyone's gazes immediately gathered on him. They wanted to see which sect's disciple was the first to be eliminated.
After seeing the disciple's face clearly, Elder Cheng's face immediately darkened. It was a disciple from the Sword Sect.
When the disciple realized that he was the first to be eliminated, he could not help but reveal a trace of shame. This was a great loss of face. Not only did he lose face, he also lost face for the Sword Sect.
"Elder Cheng, this disciple seems to be from your Sword Sect, right? Tsk tsk, this is the first person in the entrance test. Haha … "An elder of the Saber Sect mocked. The first person he mentioned was naturally not the first person with the highest score, but the first person to be eliminated.
The elder who spoke was someone Lu Xuan had met once. Back when they were receiving the disciples from the Nether City, he was the one in charge of the Saber Sect. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have heard Elder Xu call him Elder Zheng. Presumably, he should be Zheng Gang's father.
"Our Sword Sect's killing speed has always been fast. We can take someone's life with one strike. The time we come out is not necessarily related to the score." No matter how this disciple behaved, since he was an elder of the Sword Sect, he naturally had to do his best to protect this disciple. It was just like how a disciple had to do his best to protect the dignity of the sect.
While the two of them were talking, a few more flashes of light flashed, and another disciple crushed his jade card and was teleported out. The disciples from the various sub-sects appeared one after another. The strength of the disciples who entered the inner sect was not too far apart, so the results were naturally about the same. It was just that the previous disciple was unlucky and was the first to crush his jade card. If he could have lasted for a few more breaths, he wouldn't have been the first.
Next was the eruption period. White light flashed one after another. Most of the disciples had already reached their limits. If they continued, they would be injured.
Minor injuries were still manageable, but if he were to suffer from serious injuries that could not be erased, it would have a huge impact on his future cultivation. It was not worth it to take the risk for a mere test.
As the number of disciples left in this round decreased, the crowd's attention also began to rise. The main focus was undoubtedly Zheng Gang and Xing Feng. In order to avoid Zheng Gang, the other sub-sects did not send their own geniuses up.
At this moment, the speed at which their points were rising had already reached a soaring period. The further they went, the stronger the martial artists they faced would be, and the more points one could obtain by killing a martial artist.
Finally, when the third disciple was teleported out, there were only two people left in the entire Sword Forest. The last ninety places on the Ranking Stone Tablet had all stabilized. Of course, the points for the first and second place were still increasing. However, it seemed that Xing Feng's chances of catching up to Zheng Gang were extremely slim.
At this moment, Xing Feng's points were over seven hundred. It was likely that he had already killed a few martial artists at the 5th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage. As for Zheng Gang, his points had already broken past one thousand, reaching nearly one thousand three hundred points.
Without any suspense, Zheng Gang had already killed a martial artist at the 6th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage. Otherwise, he would not have left Xing Feng so far behind. Every time he killed a martial artist at the 6th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage, he would receive five hundred points.
At this moment, Xing Feng's points suddenly jumped by five hundred points, directly rising from seven hundred to over one thousand two hundred points, tying with Zheng Gang's points!
Evidently, at this moment, he had also successfully killed a martial artist at the 6th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage and obtained five hundred points.
Elder Cheng's eyebrows could not help but twitch as he secretly praised Xing Feng in his heart.
However, before the members of the Sword Sect had the time to be happy, they saw Zheng Gang's points increase once more. He increased by another 500 points, and he still left Xing Feng behind. Immediately after that, Zheng Gang's points continued to increase, and he had already left Xing Feng behind by 1,000 points. However, Xing Feng's points did not change in the slightest.
After waiting for nearly ten breaths of time, Xing Feng's points finally moved, jumping from over one thousand two hundred points to over one thousand seven hundred points. However, at this moment, a ray of light flashed in front of the Sword Forest and Xing Feng's figure appeared.
Unlike the other martial artists who came out unscathed, Xing Feng's left arm had a wound that was neither too long nor too short. At this moment, fresh blood was still flowing from it. Evidently, he had just been injured.
In the Sword Forest, Xing Feng had risked his injuries to finally kill a martial artist at the 6th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage. However, he did not dare to stay any longer and was immediately teleported out. This was also why the crowd saw his points suddenly increase, but was immediately teleported out.
The moment he came out, Xing Feng did not pay attention to his own injuries. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the huge stone tablet. His and Zheng Gang's names were ranked first and second respectively, but Zheng Gang's points were far higher than his.
Had he still lost in the end? Xing Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he already knew that with his 5th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage, he might not be a match for Zheng Gang, who was at the 6th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
Dragging his injured left arm, Xing Feng walked up to Elder Cheng and said: "This disciple has failed in his mission and failed to live up to Elder Cheng's expectations …"
Elder Cheng waved his hand to interrupt Xing Feng's words and said: "No matter, it is already very good that you can do this. Treat your injuries first. Someone, quickly help Xing Feng bandage his wounds."
In order to obtain a good result, Xing Feng had already risked his injuries. Elder Cheng naturally would not blame him. Furthermore, it was already not bad that Xing Feng was able to obtain second place in this round. After all, let alone the Sword Sect, even the other branch sects might not have anyone who could defeat Zheng Gang.
Xing Feng's injuries were not serious and were only superficial wounds. He did not go down to rest, only casually bandaging his injured left arm before walking up to Lu Xuan.
"Are you curious why I only killed two martial artists at the 6th Layer of the Body Refinement Stage?" Xing Feng asked as he looked into Lu Xuan 'eyes.
