Soon, the elimination of the group began!
In group three, the first two contestants on the stage were Early Clasping Yuan Realm. One of them was using a blade art while the other one was using a fist art. Both their blade art and fist art were at high levels. The aftershocks of their attacks landed on the fist-thick, dark blue light wall, making a loud booming sound and sending sparks everywhere.
After over a hundred rounds of attacks, the contestant who used the fist art was slightly more powerful. He avoided the blade light and shattered his opponent's zhen Qi layer with one punch, winning the battle.
"The second battle, Yuanheng Ying against Huang Lang!"
In the first row of the audience seating, the judge of group three yelled.
Hearing him, Yuanheng Ying sneered and flew towards the battling platform. That powerful dark blue light wall was like a water curtain. Waves spread out, but it did not stop him.
"Please!" Huang Lang looked ordinary. He cupped his hands and said politely.
Yuanheng Ying said impatiently, "Cut the crap, eat my claw first!"
As he spoke, Yuanheng Ying quickly activated his zhen Qi and made a grabbing gesture in the air with his right hand. Dark cyan zhen Qi shot up into the sky and transformed into a huge eagle claw. Once this zhen Qi eagle claw appeared, it gave people a sense of ancient evil, as if it was a demon's claw.
"His ace attack has turned into a normal attack. It seems that Yuanheng Ying has improved a lot." Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. Back in the Heaven Dream Battle Palace, Yuanheng Ying and Zhuang Fei had attacked Ye Chen together and used this attack. However, that was his most powerful attack. Right now, he had used it right on the stage. Obviously, it was not because he was serious about his opponent, but because he had an even more powerful attack.
Huang Lang was a contestant who had passed the three challenges of the dragon gate. Facing this attack from Yuanheng Ying, although he looked serious, he still tried his best to block it. However, Yuanheng Ying did not want to give him a chance to rest. He kept attacking with his claws, aiming at the weak point of his zhen Qi layer.
Boom!
Under Yuanheng Ying's powerful attack, Huang Lang's zhen Qi layer only lasted for a short while before it was broken.
The group three judge nodded silently. Yuanheng Ying was indeed one of the top young warriors in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. He had a great chance to make it into the rank again. Clearing his throat, he announced his opponent for the third battle.
Ye Chen's number was towards the back, and the first round of the competition was arranged according to the order of the number, so it would take some time before it was his turn. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no intense matches in group three, he raised his head and looked towards the other dueling platforms.
"Eh, it's Lynch!"
On the group seven battling platform, Lynch was facing a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm contestant.
In terms of cultivation, Lynch was only at the peak-level Early Clasping Yuan Realm, which meant that he was not as powerful as his opponent. However, in terms of fighting power, that contestant was no match for Lynch. First, his weapon was knocked away by a single blade attack, and then his protective Zhen Qi layer was cut open.
"Amazing. He is currently the first contestant to defeat an opponent who is a level higher than him." The group seven judge had a look of admiration on his face.
After sizing up Lynch, Ye Chen shifted his gaze.
Coincidentally, he saw another familiar person.
It was the second disciple of the Alchemist Martial School, Tian Hao. However, he was unlucky, as he had encountered a rather powerful opponent. He had been completely defeated after thirty attacks.
After that, Ye Chen watched a few more battles. Most of the contestants were at the Early or Mid Clasping Yuan Realm. There were only thirty or forty people who had reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm, and as for peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm, there were less than ten of them.
"The head disciple of the Ice Extreme Martial School, Bing Ling, is on the stage. In the last Hidden Dragon Rank, she was ranked seventh."
"Her opponent is not weak either. He was ranked twenty-third in the last Hidden Dragon Rank."
"No way! He was defeated with only one punch. "
Around the group four battling platform, all of the young warriors were shocked. The warrior who was ranked twenty-third in the last Hidden Dragon Rank could not even take one punch from Bing Ling. It seemed like Bing Ling had not used all of her power at all. As for how much power she had used, only she herself would know.
"The hot candidates for the top five are indeed not something we can predict. The top ten and below are not even worth mentioning."
In the end, everyone came to a conclusion. The contestants who had the power to compete for the top five were already way beyond the others. They were not even on the same level. If they ran into them, they would probably be killed within seconds.
Ye Chen had also noticed this. Although his opponent was very powerful, he was still not able to compete with him. He only had one opponent, which was Sikong Sheng. His powerful soul power allowed him to sense the opponent's power with amazing accuracy.
"The tenth battle, Ye Chen against Xiao Heng!"
Finally, it was Ye Chen's turn to compete on the stage.
Unfortunately, his opponent was also a Late Clasping Yuan Realm contestant, who was ranked thirty-five in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. His weapon was a long silver spear, the tip of the spear shining with a cold light.
"I got the first point."
Obviously, his opponent did not take Ye Chen seriously at all. He tapped his feet on the ground and his body flashed, floating in the air. The long spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake coming out of its cave. The spear shone with a bright light, looking extremely cold.
Ye Chen stood where he was without moving. He released the poetic perspective of his Lone Peak Kill, covering his opponent's mind.
"What? This is an illusion!"
There would not be a thousand mountains and rivers appearing on the battling platform. His opponent's mind had been disturbed, and his spear art had lost its accuracy and power.
Casually walking, Ye Chen appeared in front of his opponent at a normal speed and broke his zhen Qi layer with one punch.
His back bumped into the dark blue light wall. His opponent looked at Ye Chen with a slight fear in his eyes. If he could, he did not want to face Ye Chen ever again. That feeling of being unable to use his power, and having his sense of space messed up, was driving him crazy. He believed that if he fought with Ye Chen for a few more battles, his condition would drop to an unprecedented level.
"Thank you!"
Not daring to look at Ye Chen, his opponent hurried to run out of the exit. He was afraid that Ye Chen would perform that horrifying poetic perspective on him again.
Ye Chen touched his chin, thinking that he might have gone too far. Although the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill was useful, it would make his opponent's condition drop. If he ran into someone with a bad mentality, it might even affect his battling condition completely, and he would only be able to perform eighty to ninety percent of his power.
"Never mind, I will not use the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill unless it is absolutely necessary. I will use the Sky Shattering Clouds poetic perspective for now." In the previous battles, Ye Chen did not plan to use his sword intent. Therefore, he could only choose between the two poetic perspectives of the Lone Peak Kill and the Sky Shattering Clouds.
"What is going on? Is he going easy on me? "
The poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Kill only had a range of ten meters. A lot of people had no idea what was going on, including Yuanheng Ying, who had a very bad look on his face.
Only the group three judge looked shocked. His mental power was extremely powerful, and he could sense all the tiny changes on the stage. Ye Chen's Lone Peak Kill poetic perspective did not hide from him. To be honest, among the Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, he had rarely seen anyone who could push their martial poetic perspective to this level. It could even affect the senses of the warriors. No wonder that contestant was so scared towards the end.
