The twenty-zhang-long dragon-shaped shadow had a huge body and a majestic look. It circled around outside of Ye Chen's body and roared towards the sky. The powerful dragon roar had even attracted the dragon-shaped shadows of Sikong Sheng and the other eight warriors to roar as well, as if they were competing with each other.
"This feeling is so strange. My spirit, Qi, and soul are not damaged at all. Instead, they are getting stronger and stronger. My condition has reached another level." Before, in order for Ye Chen to maintain his peak condition, he would have to use his sword intent to cut out all the distracting thoughts and get rid of all the negative emotions. But now, with the rich dragon fountain Qi, he would not have to worry about his condition declining anymore. He would be able to stay at his peak condition all the time, and it would even increase steadily.
"I wonder what would happen when the dragon-shaped shadow reaches ninety zhangs."
Nine was the highest number in the world. Before, it was almost impossible to reach ninety zhangs. However, this year's Hidden Dragon Rank would be the most popular one in the past one thousand years, so it would not be impossible for it to reach ninety zhangs.
"The ninth battle of the fortieth round, Xu Jing against Wei Renjie."
Three battles away from Ye Chen, Xu Jing appeared. Her opponent was Wei Renjie, who had reached the entry level blade intent. He was ranked thirty-seven in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. According to Ye Chen's estimation, he should be able to make it into the top twenty-five this year, which would be a powerful opponent for Xu Jing.
The dragon-shaped shadow outside of Wei Renjie's body was also fifty zhangs long. Together with his muscular body and the long blade in his hand, he looked like a powerful blade artist.
Chin!
Taking out his long blade, the blade light was like water. Wei Renjie said to Xu Jing, "You are worth my full power."
There were not many young warriors who were worth Wei Renjie's full power. Those top young warriors were not worth it anymore, they were simply unbeatable. He would not be interested in those who were too weak. Although Xu Jing was not as powerful as Ye Chen and Tuo Baku, she was definitely one of the top warriors among the young generation. If he did not use all of his power, Wei Renjie might lose. Even if he used all of his power, he would not have the confidence to win against Xu Jing.
Xu Jing said lightly, "You are worth my full power as well."
The two stopped talking and stared at each other.
Hah!
Wei Renjie made the first move. Driven by his Small Success Saber Intent, his sharp Saber Qi was like a peerless fierce dragon, slashing toward Xu Jing, who was dozens of meters away. Before the Saber Qi arrived, the air around Xu Jing's body had already started to disintegrate. Her soft long hair fluttered in the wind along with her white clothes.
"Vast Divine Fist!"
Xu Jing took a step forward, and the air vibrated. Her jade-like fist drilled out of her sleeve and punched the incoming Blade Qi.
Creak!
The Blade Qi twisted and shattered, turning into specks of white light.
"Alright, Raging Waves!"
Wei Renjie boldly rushed up and slashed with his saber in the air. The saber light was like a tide, rolling and surging. That kind of artistic conception that could drown and devour everything was obviously the artistic conception of water or the artistic conception of the sea. It was majestic and magnificent.
"This Wei Renjie is indeed powerful. Although he isn't at the level of the young giants, there aren't many who can beat him in blade techniques."
"That's right. Besides the Fire Spirit Prince, Yan Chihuo, there aren't many who can compete with him in blade arts."
"I wonder, between him and Xu Jing, who would be better?"
The warriors in the audience seats were all discussing.
Facing this blade attack, Xu Jing looked very serious. She made a fist with her right hand, and there was a golden light moving around inside, as if she was holding a golden flame. She threw out a punch toward the incoming Saber Light.
Rumble!
This punch was extremely powerful. The Saber Light had a gap in it, and the Saber Intent Realm had a flaw. It was not able to form a complete attack.
Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Even though the Saber Intent had been broken, Wei Renjie was not happy or angry. He turned his body and flew toward Xu Jing like a dragon. His majestic step art was also quite ingenious. It contained the snake movement, which was powerful while the snake movement was tricky. The combination of the two seemed to be quite contradictory.
Mid-rank Earth Realm flying art, Dragon Snake Step Art!
Xu Jing felt the difficulty of this step art. She kept backing out, trying to avoid the best rhythm of the Dragon Snake Step Art. She did not want to give Wei Renjie any chance to attack.
"Flying Dragon Riding the Clouds!"
Seeing that he could not attack, Wei Renjie changed his step art. He got rid of the tricky snake movement and changed it to the majestic dragon movement. With one step, he appeared above Xu Jing and threw out three blade attacks in a row.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jing was already prepared. Once she saw her opponent change his step art, she changed it as well. Her toes touched the ground and she jumped up into the sky. Her right fist carried a soaring aura as it exploded.
Clang!
The fist and the blade clashed together, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
"So powerful!" Wei Renjie's arm had gone numb, and he had almost lost his grip on his great blade. He could not help but be shocked as he threw out a punch with his left hand.
Xu Jing used the same move as before. She blocked with her right arm, blocking Wei Renjie's punch.
Boom!
The two of them separated right after they clashed. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
"This is my self-created Swimming Dragon Blade Art. I hope you can block it out." Once his feet landed on the ground, Wei Renjie combined with his blade. His body was like a dragon, and his blade was like a dragon. He threw out a blade attack towards Xu Jing. There was no poetic perspective, no sound or light; it was just a smooth movement.
"What? Wei Renjie can create his own blade art?"
"He is only at the Clasping Yuan Realm! Normally, Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not create their own martial arts, because it would not only take a lot of time and effort, but it would also take a long time to perfect it. It would not be worth it, unless he could make sure that the created martial art was almost perfect. "
While everyone was talking, Wei Renjie's attack had already arrived. With a clanging sound, Xu Jing's gloves emitted a blazing flame, and she was forced to take more than ten steps back, her body staggered unsteadily.
"Haha, take another one of my attacks."
Wei Renjie was not going to stop. He performed his Swimming Dragon Blade Art again and again. Each time, he would be able to push Xu Jing back for dozens of steps. His blade aura was like a rainbow.
Off the stage, Ye Chen studied Wei Renjie's Swimming Dragon Blade Art carefully. He eventually realized that it was not a complete blade movement. A complete blade movement would have to have a matching zhen qi route and poetic perspective. The Swimming Dragon Blade Art not only lacked poetic perspective, but also did not have the best zhen qi route. Even so, Wei Renjie was able to create a blade movement, which was already something to be proud of.
Of course, Ye Chen also had the ability to create one or two movements. In fact, if he wanted to create a sword movement, it would definitely be twice as powerful as the Swimming Dragon Blade Art. But right now, no matter how powerful Ye Chen's sword movement was, it would still not be as powerful as the Lone Peak Kill and the Sky Shattering Clouds. Wei Renjie was Wei Renjie, but Ye Chen was him. The Swimming Dragon Blade Art might be powerful for Wei Renjie, but it was nothing special for Ye Chen. If it were him instead of Xu Jing, he would only need one glance to find the weakness and beat Wei Renjie.
Therefore, either he did not create his own martial art, or he had to create a martial art that would be useful to him. Otherwise, he would not do something that would not bring him any benefits. For him, time was extremely precious, and he did not have that much energy to waste on things that could not help him increase his power.
Backing out again and again, Xu Jing soon reached the dark blue light wall. There was nowhere else for her to go.
"Lose!"
Wei Renjie yelled as he threw out a smooth blade attack towards Xu Jing.
"Boundless Killing Fist Art!"
At that critical moment, Xu Jing had finally found the weak spot of the Swimming Dragon Blade Art. She had prepared for it in advance, throwing out a punch with a powerful destructive poetic perspective onto the blade light.
Boom!
The blade light was shattered. Blood leaked out from the corner of Wei Renjie's mouth as his body was blown away.
As Xu Jing had beaten Wei Renjie, the dragon-shaped shadow outside of her body had stolen her opponent's dragon fountain Qi. It had expanded to almost fifteen meters.
The fortieth round had ended, and the forty-first round had begun.
Ye Chen was facing Qian Yun.
"Mad Thunder Four Movement!" Without any intention of testing, Qian Yun threw out all of his attacks, aiming at the weak spot of Ye Chen's protective zhen Qi layer.
"Although the movements are powerful, they are a bit messy and not pure enough!"
Shaking his head, Ye Chen took out his Star Scar Sword and threw out a sword attack at Qian Yun's weakest spot, breaking his Mad Thunder Four Movement instantly. Before his opponent could react, Ye Chen threw out a sword light and pierced through his protective zhen Qi layer.
Instant kill!
Qian Yun was not Bing Ling. Bing Ling had a powerful zhen Qi layer, but Qian Yun did not. Therefore, in front of Ye Chen, he could only be killed within a second. Since the fast sword was not a secret anymore, it did not matter how many times he used it. Plus, facing Sikong Sheng and the others, the effect of the fast sword would be limited.
Not only did the younger generation suck in a breath of cold air, but most of the cultivators in the spectator stands were also dumbfounded, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
Qian Yun, who had almost become a seeded contestant, could not even survive one sword attack from Ye Chen. If it were before, they would definitely think that it was fake news, and would not choose to believe it. But right now, it had happened right in front of their eyes, and they could not help but believe it.
"How powerful is Ye Chen?"
"Comparing sword arts and eyesight, Wei Renjie, who had created his own movement, is no different than a kid in front of him. This is the real killing sword art."
Gu Youyun's eyes were wide open as well. Qian Yun, who she had spent so much effort to beat, could not even handle one sword attack from Ye Chen. What a monster!
After devouring Qian Yun's dragon fountain Qi, Ye Chen's dragon-shaped shadow did not grow that much. It had only grown from twenty-one meters to twenty-one meters. However, his opponent's dragon-shaped shadow did not decrease much either. If Ye Chen wanted to increase his dragon-shaped shadow drastically, he would have to beat the top young warriors who had the most powerful dragon fountain Qi and the other three warriors who were ranked tenth or so and had better luck.
…
Time passed by quietly. The second day had passed quickly, and it was already the afternoon of the third day.
After beating the other three warriors whose dragon-shaped shadows had reached twenty-one meters, Ye Chen's dragon-shaped shadow had never been so powerful before. It had grown to twenty-five meters. Of course, the top young warriors from the last Hidden Dragon Rank had also grown. Sikong Sheng had reached twenty-four meters, Yan Chihuo had reached twenty-nine meters, Li Daoxuan had reached twenty-eight meters, and Lin Yun had reached twenty-eight meters. Bing Ling and Mo Yan were slightly weaker. Right now, they were only twenty-six meters, which was not that far away from Ye Chen.
Tuo Baku and Murong Qingcheng had also caught up. One was twenty-three meters, and the other was twenty-four meters. Gu Youyun was right behind them, who was twenty-two meters. The rest of the warriors had lost too many battles, so none of them had reached twenty-two meters. The dragon fountain Qi had basically gathered on the top ten seeded contestants.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but when the third day had finished, there had been sixty-two rounds of battles, and there were exactly nine rounds of battles left.
In the last nine rounds of battles, the top ten seeded contestants would not run into anyone else. There would be battles against each other, and none of them would be missing. Because in the previous sixty-two rounds of battles, they had already beaten sixty-two people. There were only nine seeded contestants left besides themselves.
All of the warriors who were watching the battles felt their blood boiling. By the next morning, they would be able to see the battles between the top young warriors. One battle after another, it would be hard for them not to be excited.
