"As long as he beats brother Yi Qing, it will be the battle between brother Meng Chong and brother Ye Chen."
"Brother Yi Qing should not be able to beat brother Ye Chen. After all, he lost to brother Tie Feng."
"You're right. If brother Meng Chong is still the champion this year, he probably won't get any good rewards. After all, last time he was rewarded with a low rank Earth Realm fist art – Shocking Thunder Fist. But if brother Ye Chen wins, he will definitely get a low rank Earth Realm martial art."
While the crowd was talking, the competition continued.
In fact, although the ranking was still uncertain, it was already clear that the first and second place would be either Meng Chong or Ye Chen. The third to fifth place would be Tie Feng, Xiao Ye and Yi Qing. The sixth to ninth place would be Zhou Ruo, Li Yun, Li Kuang and Pei Shaoqing. Qiu Ruotong would be the last.
In the first round, Li Yun lost to Li Kuang.
In the second round, Pei Shaoqing lost to Zhou Ruo.
In the third round, Yi Qing lost to Xiao Ye.
…
In the ninth round, Meng Chong walked onto the stage.
Tie Feng shook his head, "I am not his opponent. I give up!"
Boom!
The crowd on the martial field suddenly exploded. Tie Feng had given up, which meant that Meng Chong would fight against Ye Chen in advance. This would undoubtedly be the most anticipated battle of the day.
On the east side of the VIP seats, there was a row of teenagers. The oldest among them was only eighteen or nineteen years old, while the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen. They were all wearing different clothes, but all of them had the unique cloud pattern of the Sky Cloud Martial School on their sleeves.
The auras of this group of people were pure and vast. Nearly half of them could contend with Blood Shadow Saber Meng Chong. Some of them even far surpassed Meng Chong. They sat there and talked cheerfully. They were not affected by the atmosphere at all. They gave off an unfathomable pressure.
"Jing Jue, who do you think will win?" Among them, a handsome teenager asked the teenager with a cold expression.
The cold teenager said indifferently, "Boring!"
The handsome teenager smiled bitterly, "Is there a need to be so cold?" He turned around and asked the teenager in blue, "Brother Luo, what do you think?"
The teenager in blue was indeed the second disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School, Luo Hanshan. He lowered his eyes, thought for a while and said, "I think it will be Ye Chen."
"Oh, why is that?" The other person beside him looked surprised.
Luo Hanshan said, "Meng Chong is like a sharp blade that can cut through anything. However, if it's too sharp, it'll break easily, which makes it less beautiful. But Ye Chen is like a vast lake, immeasurably deep. Since the beginning of the competition, he has been calm and unruffled. Thus, I deduced that it would be a long battle from the start. In the end, Ye Chen would be the one to persevere. Of course, speculations are just speculations after all. They can't be trusted. If we want to determine the victor, we'll have to fight. "
The handsome youth smiled and said, "Senior Brother Luo's analytical ability has always been very strong, but I feel the same way. Whether the two of them will win will depend on the later stages."
The girl in white, who was ranked eighth, suddenly said, "Meng Chong will lose."
The first person in line was a slightly older girl with plum blossom embroidery on her clothes. She mocked, "Xu Jing, this is the first time I've seen your evaluation!"
Xu Jing didn't say anything.
The other people looked at Xu Jing with different expressions, some of them were nervous, some of them were admiring her. She had just become a core disciple last year, but now she was ranked eighth. Also, it seemed that she had not used all of her power to increase her rank. Otherwise, it would not be impossible for her to be in the top five.
From time to time, the inner disciples below the VIP seats would turn around and take a glance at her. They thought to themselves, 'This seat is for core disciples. If I can sit in this seat one day, how glorious would that be?'
Five of the ten platforms had already been destroyed.
Ye Chen and Meng Chong were standing opposite each other on the platform that seemed to be relatively intact, staring at each other without blinking their eyes.
Swoosh!
Meng Chong took out his long blade and launched the first attack. A sharp blood-red blade light sliced through the air, hacking towards Ye Chen, who was not far away.
Clang!
No one knew when Ye Chen had also pulled out his sword. He waved out a stream of sword Qi to block the incoming blade light.
"Take another ten attacks!" Meng Chong's expression was wild. The long blade in his hand was like a wild horse that had just run away from its reins. He crazily waved his blade towards Meng Chong.
Ding … ding … ding … ding …
All of a sudden, the entire platform was filled with bright sword Qi and blood-red blade light. Their figures had already been completely covered by the light, and could not be seen by the naked eye.
Shoo! Shoo!
The two of them were blown back, and once again, they faced each other.
"Awesome! Among all the inner disciples, you are the only one who can take eleven attacks from me with all of my power." It had been a long time since Meng Chong had felt this good. Ye Chen's power had made his blood boil, and he was filled with the desire to fight. If he could defeat Ye Chen, he would definitely be able to reach the next level.
Ye Chen said, "Let's continue."
"Alright, let's continue!"
As soon as they finished talking, their bodies had already collided. The blood-red blade light and the sword Qi crisscrossed, fighting against each other. Soon, the platform was destroyed as well.
Off the platform, all of the inner disciples were shocked.
Apart from the first collision, it was impossible to tell who was fighting who, who had the upper hand, and who was at a disadvantage. All that could be seen was that the saber was faster than the previous one, and the sword was sharper than the previous one. Towards the end, the shockwave formed by the collision of the sword Qi and the saber light was even more terrifying, destroying one platform after another nearby. The figures of the two could no longer be seen, and only the sword Qi and the saber light could be seen sweeping from one platform to another, from the ground to the air, and from the air to the platform ruins. They were everywhere, and everywhere was the site of the battle.
One hundred attacks!
Two hundred attacks!
Three hundred attacks!
Five hundred attacks!
The two of them had already exchanged over five hundred attacks, but there was still no clear winner. Ye Chen's half-step sword intent could not do anything to Meng Chong's blade power, and Meng Chong's fast blade power could not do anything to Ye Chen either. At this point, it was no longer a competition of power, but a competition of willpower and endurance. Whoever could last longer would be the winner.
"One thousand attacks! No winner has been decided yet! Terrifying! " An inner disciple looked at the sky. Right then, the sun was setting, and the bright afterglow was shining on the martial field, making the battle look even more intense. He could not help but gasp.
"Yeah! It would be amazing if the others could block ten attacks from Brother Meng Chong, but Brother Ye Chen had already exchanged over a thousand attacks with him. Both of them seemed to have the upper hand. "
"I wonder who will have the last laugh."
All of a sudden!
The blood-red blade light and the bright sword Qi collided with each other, and then shot up into the sky. Waves of powerful shockwaves spread out in all directions, which even caused the platform to collapse.
The crowd looked over and saw that Ye Chen's sword had blocked Meng Chong's long blade, and the two of them were frozen there.
"World Shocking Thunder!"
Meng Chong clenched his left hand into a fist and threw it towards Ye Chen's head.
Ye Chen sneered and threw out his left fist, which was shining with a black light.
Crack!
Like a thunderclap, both of them were sent flying backwards.
"Again!" With the protection of the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell, Ye Chen stomped on the platform behind him and shot towards Meng Chong like an arrow.
Meng Chong was not scared at all, he threw out another punch.
Boom!
The two of them moved away from each other as soon as they made contact. There was a faint trace of blood on the corner of Meng Chong's mouth.
On the VIP seats of the core disciples, Luo Hanshan sighed and said, "Ye Chen has won, Meng Chong is still slightly weaker than him."
"It is not easy for him to be able to fight until now. But this Ye Chen is very powerful! He has been winning all the time, even Meng Chong could not stop his rise. "
