On the second day, it started to drizzle from the dark sky, landing on the ground. The slightly dark environment made the Hidden Dragon Ancient City look even more ancient.
On the battling field, there were tons of people, their voices reaching the sky. This little bit of rain did not affect them at all since they had reached the Clasping Yuan Realm.
"The first four or five rounds were fine. But don't you think that starting from the sixty-seventh round, the judges have purposely left the three of them until the end?"
"What do you think the judges are doing? Their eyesight is way more powerful than us. Naturally, they could see it clearly. Otherwise, if the three of them were to fight right at the beginning, then the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions would not be perfect."
"Yeah, that's true. It has been like this for the past few competitions as well. The top battles are always left to the last round."
The warriors who were watching the battles had some doubts about the order of the competitions, but they were soon dispelled. As long as it did not violate the rules of the competitions, the judges still had a lot of power. They had the right to arrange their opponents. Even the leaders of the rank 6 martial institutions might not be able to decide, since their disciples were powerful enough. But at the same time, if they were not powerful enough, the arrangement would be useless.
It all depended on the power!
The sixty-ninth round of the competitions had officially begun.
The first pair of top young warriors was Li Daoxuan and Tuo Baku.
Compared to Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan's movement art was slightly better. Besides Sikong Sheng who had never used his movement art before, he was only second to Ye Chen. Therefore, Tuo Baku's uppercut fist could not hit Li Daoxuan as he had hoped. Instead, Li Daoxuan had taken the opportunity to attack him a couple of times. Eventually, Tuo Baku had lost to his silent ace attack.
The second pair was Lin Yun and Mo Yan.
Although Mo Yan had lost the competition this time, he had finally gained some fame. Judging on power, Lin Yun was not as powerful as Yan Chihuo. Judging on battling skills, he was not as powerful as Li Daoxuan, not to mention Ye Chen. Therefore, he had managed to gain the upper hand with his Sky Demon Eyes. That thick and heavy Fire Yuan Shield had a lot of weaknesses in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun's power was not to be underestimated. He was a powerful warrior at the same level as Tuo Baku. If it were not for the fact that he had suffered too much damage before and his condition had dropped a bit, Mo Yan might not even be able to get the upper hand. After being enraged, Lin Yun threw out a crazy attack. That iron spear that was covered in flames was like a dragon playing in the water, bringing up the wind and waves. The flame was so strong that it had suppressed Mo Yan until the end of the battle.
After that, Sikong Sheng and Murong Qingcheng started to fight.
Among the young generation, the two of them were the most popular. Sikong Sheng, the king warrior of the young generation, and the champion of the last Hidden Dragon Rank, it was reasonable for him to be this popular. Although Murong Qingcheng's power was not as powerful as Sikong Sheng, sometimes women did not need to rely on their power to win the popularity. Their looks and temperament were also part of their power, since most of the warriors watching the battle were male.
"You're very strong. Are you interested in going to the other domains with me?" Murong Qingcheng was about the same age as Sikong Sheng, they were both in their twenties. But in Sikong Sheng's eyes, Murong Qingcheng was only a woman. It was that simple.
Murong Qingcheng shook her head slightly, "Sorry, I will go out to train myself. But it is just a personal plan. I do not want to get involved with anyone."
"What a shame."
Sikong Sheng did not care too much about it. As a beautiful woman with both power and temperament like Murong Qingcheng, no one would not appreciate her beauty. He was no exception. However, for him, besides training, everything else was secondary. He only felt a bit regretful.
"Let's start!" Sikong Sheng looked serious as he signaled to Murong Qingcheng.
"Sky Demon Catch!"
Without performing any attacking movement, Murong Qingcheng accumulated a huge amount of Sky Demon Power Field with both of her hands, attacking where Sikong Sheng was from a distance.
Crack!
The ground three steps behind Sikong Sheng cracked open.
"Blink Body Movement!" Murong Qingcheng's pupils shrank. She threw out her attack first, and Sikong Sheng moved his body behind her. Because of his extreme speed, normal people would not be able to see his movement at all. It was as if the Sky Demon Catch had gone through his body and landed behind him.
It was the first time that Sikong Sheng had performed his movement art. It was obviously more powerful than Li Daoxuan's, and even Ye Chen's was not as powerful as it.
Off the stage …
Ye Chen squeezed his eyes. The movement art that Sikong Sheng had performed was indeed a top rank Earth Realm movement art, which was rarely seen even in rank 6 martial institutions. After all, it would be quite good for a normal rank 6 martial institution to have four or five top rank Earth Realm martial arts. How could it be possible for them to have all kinds of top rank Earth Realm martial arts? For example, Li Daoxuan's Sword Step Shift was only top rank Earth Realm. But of course, it was definitely one of the top rank Earth Realm flying arts.
"The good thing is that my Separating Shadow Flying Art is also top rank Earth Realm. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble." Back when he was on the Snake Island in the Star Region Lake, Ye Chen had already trained his Flo Ruo Three Mysterious Spell to the third level, which had increased his Separating Shadow Flying Art's rank to top rank Earth Realm. However, since the beginning of the competition, he had not only restricted his sword intent, but also his flying art, which was also one of his ace attacks.
"Force Field Cut!"
Murong Qingcheng accumulated two Sky Demon Power Fields with both of her hands, one positive and the other negative. The fields pressed and combined together, forming a huge cutting power, attacking towards Sikong Sheng.
Sikong Sheng's body did not move at all, but he threw out his ace attack from his Mysterious Sky Tyrant Fist Art, confronting Murong Qingcheng's ace attack head on.
Boom!
The Force Field Cut was shattered.
"Fist Tyrant River!"
After shattering the Force Field Cut with one punch, Sikong Sheng threw out another punch, which had shattered Murong Qingcheng's protective Sky Demon Power Field. It was something that had never happened since the beginning of the competition.
Naturally, Murong Qingcheng had lost the battle.
After devouring Murong Qingcheng's dragon fountain Qi, Sikong Sheng's dragon-shaped shadow had grown to eighty meters, only two feet away from ninety meters.
"I am afraid that no one would be able to beat Sikong Sheng anymore. No, he would not even be able to fight with all of his power. Even Murong Qingcheng's Sky Demon Great Art had been shattered by him with only one punch."
"In the last Sky Demon Rank, Yan Chihuo was still able to fight against Sikong Sheng. But this time, Sikong Sheng is way too powerful. He is so powerful that most of the young warriors do not even have the right to challenge him."
"Yeah, Ye Chen's power is at the same level as Yan Chihuo. Neither of them would be able to face Sikong Sheng."
While everyone was talking, the competition continued until Ye Chen beat Gu Youyun, and Yan Chihuo beat Bing Ling. The sixty-ninth round of competitions had come to an end.
…
Two hours had passed, and the seventieth round had arrived. The next round would be the last one.
This round of competitions had not started yet, but the audience seating had already been heated up. There was nothing else, because in this round of competitions, Ye Chen would either be fighting against Yan Chihuo or Sikong Sheng. He would have to face one of them eventually, and no matter how the judges arranged the order, it would not change that fact.
In the crowd's anticipation, Mo Yan had beaten Bing Ling, and Lin Yun had beaten Gu Youyun. Now, it was Tuo Baku and Murong Qingcheng's turn.
Murong Qingcheng's power might not be as powerful as Lin Yun's, and even if it was, it would not be that powerful. However, Tuo Baku still could not get the upper hand. Under Murong Qingcheng's Sky Demon Catch, Tuo Baku could not even maintain his own battling rhythm. On the other hand, Murong Qingcheng's Power Field Cut could be ranked in the top three among the young generation, seeming to be right behind Sikong Sheng. It was even more powerful than Yan Chihuo and Li Daoxuan's ace attacks. Tuo Baku's defense would naturally not be able to handle it. But even so, he had only been slightly wounded.
After Tuo Baku had lost, all of the spectators were getting more and more excited, waiting for the next battle.
"The twenty-third battle, Ye Chen against Yan Chihuo."
The head judge stood up and announced the battle himself.
Boom!
The sound wave was so loud that even the rain in the sky had been shaken off. A wave of slight pattern appeared in the air, covering the whole battling field.
In this year's Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, the fourth to tenth place was basically clear, and there would not be too many changes. Only the top three were still in the dark. To be exact, the second and third place were still not clear, and the first place had been reserved for Sikong Sheng.
Without a doubt, the second and third place would be Yan Chihuo and Ye Chen. Sikong Sheng would not even be considered, since only the two of them had won all of their battles without losing a single battle.
Yan Chihuo paid a lot of attention to this battle. He had already taken out his long blade when he was still off the stage, wearing it on his waist. His whole body was filled with blade intent as he flashed onto the battling platform.
A blue light flashed, and Ye Chen followed right after him.
Facing Yan Chihuo's sky-high blade intent and blade aura, Ye Chen's expression did not change at all. With his blue robes and the long sword on his waist, he looked very calm, with a sense of calmness.
"Before the battle, I had never thought that you would be the one to make it this far." The blade intent on Yan Chihuo's body was getting stronger and stronger. There was only a thin line between him and the seventy percent blade intent, and it seemed like it could break through at any second. However, this thin line was not that easy to break. Without a certain level of mastery of the blade art, it would be impossible to break through it even after three to five years. And this was because there were powerful warriors from the Fire Spirit Palace who had mastered the completed blade intent, who had given him a lot of guidance.
Ye Chen looked very calm. Yan Chihuo's blade intent had undoubtedly reached the peak of sixty percent, which was even more mature than the sixty percent blade intent.
"Let's fight!"
The sword intent was like an unsheathed weapon, shooting out of Ye Chen's body. It was the same sixty percent sword intent, but Ye Chen's sword intent was even purer than Li Daoxuan's.
"Fire Dragon Cut!"
The blade Qi turned into a dragon as Yan Chihuo pushed his zhen Qi and threw out a horrifying blade attack towards Ye Chen.
A deep star-like sword light flashed in the air. No one knew when, but Ye Chen's Star Scar Sword had already been taken out of its scabbard. Along with the sixty percent sword intent and the poetic perspective of the Sky Shattering Clouds, it accurately pointed at the head of the Fire Dragon Blade Qi. Sparks flew everywhere, looking like a rain of fire.
Flashing his body, Ye Chen broke through the rain of fire and appeared in front of Yan Chihuo, stabbing out his sword.
That sword attack was sharp, but it also carried the elegance of a sightseeing. There was no need for any smoke or fire, and it was thrown out naturally, as if he was drawing a landscape painting with his sword.
All of his experiences had been condensed into one sword attack. All of the previous battles had not been wasted. Plus, this sword attack did not combine all of the complicated experiences into one. There was not enough time. Ye Chen believed that he was not the only one who had comprehended it, but they would need more time to absorb the essence of it.
"What?"
Since the start of the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, it was the first time that Yan Chihuo had fallen into a disadvantage. Ye Chen's sword attack made him feel like he could not block it. The poetic perspective of his sword art was too well-coordinated, so well-coordinated that Yan Chihuo did not even know how to fight back. Right then, he finally realized how powerful Ye Chen was. His sword art training was so powerful that Li Daoxuan could not even compare to him.
