The second round of the competition was a bit speechless. Out of the fifteen battles, eleven of them ended very quickly, almost all of them were the top ranked disciples beating the bottom ranked disciples.
Ye Chen's battle was not included in these eleven battles, but it was not that far off. His opponent was Dong Haohua, who was not weak at all. Unfortunately, it was Ye Chen who had beaten him within three to four attacks before he had even shown his real power.
There were two exciting battles in the third round.
The first was a duel between the only two female disciples among the top ten inner disciples of the previous term.
The other was Xiao Ye against Li Yun.
The two female disciples were "Peach Hand" Zhou Ruo and "Rainbow Sword" Qiu Ruotong.
Zhou Ruo was ranked fourth, she was very strong, her slender hands looked like they had no bones, but after being touched by her, Qiu Ruotong, who was ranked eighth, immediately vomited blood and retreated, losing the battle.
Xiao Ye and Li Yun's battle was too intense, one of them was ranked third among the top ten inner disciples last time, the other one was a new rising star, both of them did not give in to each other, they were fighting fiercely, even the platform was almost destroyed by them.
Xiao Ye's defense and attacking power were very scary, normal sword light could not break through his Zhen Qi protection, one punch could explode the air in front of him, making Li Yun unable to get close to him.
As for Li Yun, although he was a new rising star, he was not any weaker than Xiao Ye, he was evenly matched with the third ranked Xiao Ye, his sword light splitting martial technique was perfect, the hidden sword light made Xiao Ye even more scared.
In the end, the head elder thought that it was too long, so he called it a draw.
There were also exciting battles in the fourth and fifth round, the outer disciples who were watching were very excited, their blood was boiling.
The sixth round, the third battle.
Blood Shadow Blade Meng Chong against Iron Fan Yi Qing.
"Last year's first and second ranked disciples are finally fighting, I wonder who is stronger."
"You idiot! It must be Senior Brother Meng Chong. "
"The battle has not even started, how do you know, Senior Brother Yi Qing's fan art is so amazing, how could he lose?" The one who supported Yi Qing was a female inner disciple.
The people beside her rolled their eyes, thinking: 'Another love-struck fool!'
On the stage.
Yi Qing opened his iron fan and smiled at Meng Chong: "Last year when I fought with you, I was able to last more than ten rounds, I'm afraid I won't be able to last this year."
Meng Chong said, "There is no need to belittle yourself. Do you think that I will let down my guard against you?"
"Hehe!" Yi Qing laughed.
"Come on, I know you definitely have some ultimate moves, and there's an eighty percent chance you're going to use them against me." Meng Chong still had his eyes on Yi Qing. His opponent had already fused his techniques and actual combat to perfection. He looked beautiful, but not flashy. It would be impossible to defeat him with a single slash.
Step by step, Meng Chong walked toward Yi Qing.
Just as he was about to take his tenth step, Yi Qing moved. In fact, he had no choice but to move. Otherwise, once his opponent found the most suitable place to attack, there would be no room for him to turn things around.
The iron fan fluttered up and down, creating a series of illusory fan shadows that flew towards Meng Chong without any pattern. It was as if a large bag filled with butterflies had been accidentally opened, and all the butterflies had flown out.
"Break!"
Meng Chong lowered his body and charged forward, slashing down with his saber.
Puchi!
This saber strike grabbed the weakest point of the countless fan shadows, breaking through them. The blood-red saber gleam easily slashed towards Yi Qing at an unbelievable speed.
"This is what a fast saber should be like. Once it moves, it's amazing. I wonder what level that North Snow Quick Saber Lynch has reached." Seeing Meng Chong's saber art, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of Lynch, who he had met in the Northwest Auction House. Both of them were famous for their fast saber arts. If Meng Chong was already this powerful, then that Lynch would be even more powerful.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen knew that he had to work harder. Above Lynch, there were still Young Master North Snow and Young Master Duanmu, and above him, there was the top young warrior of the Windy Nation – Young Master Emerald.
Clang!
The blood-red saber light was blocked by the iron fan. Yi Qing's body was knocked back by the impact.
"Good, since you can take my first saber attack, you can definitely take my second and third." Meng Chong was excited. The blood-red saber light crisscrossed in the air, covering Yi Qing like a huge net.
Yi Qing tried his best to protect his body with the iron fan. But even so, that horrifying saber light still numbed his entire body and made his blood boil.
"The seventh saber attack!"
This saber attack was launched last, but it was faster than the previous few saber lights and cut open Yi Qing's hair band.
Yi Qing's long black hair danced in the air as he put away his iron fan.
"I still can't beat you." Just now, he had already used his ace attacks. However, under Meng Chong's saber light, those ace attacks were not as good as his normal attacks. He understood that this was because his ace attacks were not perfect yet. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Meng Chong to find the flaws in his attacks. However, everything has its pros and cons. After this battle, it would be easier for him to find the flaws in his attacks.
Meng Chong laughed and said, "Being able to force me to use the seventh saber attack is already very good."
Beside Ye Chen, Wu Zongming sighed and said, "I wonder who can beat Brother Meng Chong?" After saying this, he glanced at Ye Chen. Ye Chen gave him a mysterious feeling. Even now, he still did not know Ye Chen's real power. Maybe there was a chance.
Of course, Wu Zongming was not sure.
"Let's keep watching." Ye Chen did not make any assumptions.
Soon, the sixth round ended.
Until now, there were only five people who had an undefeated record. They were Blood Shadow Blade Meng Chong, Peach Blossom Hand Zhou Ruo, Ghost Sword Li Kuang, Tie Feng and Ye Chen.
Although Mad Man Xiao Ye and Li Yun did not lose, they had a draw after all. They had lost one point.
After the seventh round, there was one less person who had an undefeated record. It was Peach Blossom Hand Zhou Ruo. He was unlucky and met Iron Fan Yi Qing. After exchanging hundreds of moves, he was defeated by Yi Qing. Although he lost, his power still made the crowd fear him.
In the crowd's anticipation, the eighth round began.
The first three rounds could barely be considered exciting. When it came to the fourth round, the crowd burst into cheers.
The contestants on the stage were Ye Chen and Ghost Sword Li Kuang.
If it were in the morning, the crowd would definitely not be cheering like this. However, Ye Chen had been winning all the time, and his popularity had skyrocketed. He had gained a lot of supporters, including some of the inner disciples.
On the VIP seats, Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing's breathing almost stopped.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this year's Sky Cloud Martial School's Inner Disciple Ranking Competition was one of the most thrilling events in their lives. Every time Ye Chen stepped onto the stage, they would be on tenterhooks for a while, afraid to see Ye Chen fail. Although Ye Chen's results had already made them very satisfied, who wouldn't want their children to do better? Fortunately, up until now, they had seen Ye Chen win again and again, and it seemed to be quite easy.
But now it was different. Ye Chen's opponent was the mysterious Ghost Sword Li Kuang. Whether he could win or not was still unknown.
