"Forty-fifth!"
Slaughter, endless slaughter!
Ye Chen had never experienced such a ferocious battle. This battle had pushed him to his limits again and again. His nerves were stretched like steel wires, ready to snap at any moment. He knew that he couldn't afford to have the thought of taking a breather. From the beginning of the battle until now, he had been holding his breath. If he let it out, it would truly be over. He would be utterly defeated in an instant.
At this moment, he greatly admired Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue. Since these two could pass the seventh level, their aptitudes were certainly frightening. Fighting across realms was as easy as eating and drinking — extremely simple.
"Forty-sixth!"
Swinging his sword with his left hand to block the slash of a yellow-robed sword artist, Ye Chen raised his right hand. Sword light spilled out, and the opponent's head was sent flying.
Rip!
At the same time, Ye Chen shifted his position, dodging the sword light coming from behind. Although the sword light didn't hit Ye Chen, its aura left a clear mark on Ye Chen's shoulder.
"Forty-seventh!"
Dodging most of the incoming sword lights, Ye Chen spun in the air. His hands holding the two swords were like two wind wheels, intertwining sword lights shooting out. Wherever they went, the ground was riddled with holes, and the air was filled with sword marks. It was a scene of devastation.
Puff!
The yellow-robed sword artist closest to Ye Chen was devoured by the intertwining sword lights, sliced into dozens of pieces, and dissipated into nothingness.
"I've consumed too much power!"
After using this move, Ye Chen's complexion turned slightly pale, and blue veins popped out on his forehead. The power of consciousness avatars was not limitless. From the first level until now, he had killed a hundred and ten consciousness avatars. These avatars had the same cultivation base and will as him. Killing one was not easy, especially in the seventh level. Killing one was equivalent to killing two or three avatars in the sixth level. The difficulty had doubled, and the consumption was enormous.
Even with his Sea of Soul realm cultivation base, he couldn't bear such consumption.
Fortunately, the yellow-robed swordsman had also expended a lot of energy, and his condition had deteriorated. Otherwise, if this had continued, Ye Chen would not have been able to hold on.
Retreating swiftly, Ye Chen took a deep breath and pointed a finger at the dense sword light that was coming at him.
Bang!
The gigantic cyan finger grew stronger and stronger, forcibly blasting away the threat.
"Forty-eighth, forty-ninth!"
Borrowing strength from the void, Ye Chen advanced instead of retreating. With extreme speed, his body trembled, turning into dozens of shadows that engulfed the two yellow-robed swordsmen. With a flash of sword light, the two swordsmen fell to the ground.
…
Hiss!
Around the Wall of Fame, gasps could be heard.
"It's been eight hours since he started the test!"
"Even if he doesn't pass the seventh stage, he will definitely be ranked third or fourth."
Everyone's expression changed. Among them, the majority had stopped at the fifth stage, and only a few had made it to the sixth stage. If the fifth stage was already this hard, then the difficulty of the seventh stage would be beyond their imagination. Otherwise, how could only Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue pass the seventh stage and look down on all the other geniuses?
"This guy!"
Yan Fengfeng smiled bitterly. As a descendant of the Phoenix, she was not inferior to anyone in terms of talent. But, she was only ranked fifth, being suppressed by the top four. And now, she couldn't even maintain her fifth position, and was about to fall to the sixth. It was simply incomprehensible.
In fact, Yan Fengfeng had still underestimated her own talent.
This wall of names was used to test humans, and as a Blue Phoenix, it was inevitable that it would be biased. After all, humans and beasts were different in many aspects, and could not be treated as the same. Therefore, Yan Fengfeng's potential was similar to that of humans, and her potential as a beast was not completely tested, or perhaps only a part of it had been tested.
Blue Phoenix could be mentioned in the same breath as the ancient nine-headed snake. Even if her talent was not as good as Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue, it would not be too far off.
"Yan Fengfeng, we can't let go of this kind of genius. Although our team is not weak, it will still be hard to compete with those top young warriors' teams. With him joining us, our team will definitely be a lot more powerful. Plus, he is still growing."
Hai Wuya smiled at Yan Fengfeng.
Yan Fengfeng said, "Of course."
There were countless geniuses gathered in the Sky Martial Region. Walking in any random city, one could run into some geniuses. Geniuses were all very prideful, so it would be hard for them to not see eye to eye with each other. After a long time, small conflicts would gradually turn into hatred, and they would view each other as enemies.
And, there was strength in numbers. Even if you wanted to fight fairly with others, others might not necessarily fight fairly with you. If you didn't want to lose out, then you would have to have your own team and faction. In that case, regardless of whether it was fair or not, others would not be able to bully you.
There were strong and weak factions, and Yan Fengfeng and Hai Wuya's faction could be ranked in the top ten. Unfortunately, besides the two of them, there were no other powerful figures. Ye Chen was undoubtedly the best candidate in their eyes. With him joining, they would be able to compete with those top young warriors' factions in a couple of years. Plus, Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue were not to be trifled with either. The two's potential was horrifying.
…
"Fifty-nine!"
Borrowing the momentum of falling, Ye Chen descended from the sky and slashed fiercely at the head of a yellow-robed sword artist. The sword blade streaked across the forehead, and the yellow-robed sword artist was cut in two.
Huff!
With only five yellow-robed sword artists left, Ye Chen took the opportunity to take a deep breath, calming his nerves that had been stretched to the limit.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
These five yellow-robed sword artists were not afraid of death as they attacked Ye Chen from five different angles. Before they even arrived, their sharp sword Qi was already like a bone-scraping steel blade.
"Unending Nature!"
Following an unimaginable trajectory, Ye Chen turned around and passed through the gaps of the sword Qi, piercing through the neck of the yellow-robed sword artist on the side. He then pulled out his longsword and drew a beautiful arc in the air, cutting off the top of another yellow-robed sword artist's head.
Only three left!
At this point in the battle, Ye Chen was almost exhausted. The power in his mental consciousness was almost squeezed out and was no longer vigorous. Of course, the yellow-robed sword artists' battle strength was also greatly damaged. After all, they did not have much consciousness. Once their power was weakened, their battle strength would also be weakened. This made it easier for Ye Chen to kill them.
"Retreat!"
Two swords crossed, one straight and one reverse. Two crescent sword Qi formed a hemisphere and knocked away two yellow-robed sword artists who were taking advantage of the situation. At the same time, the little finger of Ye Chen's right hand that was holding the sword hilt curled up, and a ray of lotus heart sword Qi shot out, piercing the forehead of another yellow-robed sword artist. At the crucial moment, this yellow-robed sword artist shifted his body, using his shoulder to replace his forehead.
Chi!
With his shoulder injured, other than a slight pause in his body, he did not feel anything else. Lifelessly, he pounced at Ye Chen, waving his longsword flawlessly.
Rumble!
Ye Chen stomped on the ground, and a hidden force drilled into his opponent's foot, exploding violently. This was the Earth Explosion and Sky Shock that Ye Chen had used earlier.
Although the Earth Explosion and Sky Shock couldn't heavily injure the yellow-robed sword artist, it still made him stagger and sway.
"Die!"
With a flick of his right wrist, Ye Chen mercilessly cut his opponent's body in half.
His exhaustion was getting worse. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and rushed out while sticking close to the ground, his long hair fluttering in the wind.
One of the two remaining yellow-robed sword artists rushed up, the longsword in his hand clashing with Ye Chen's longsword. Unfortunately, Ye Chen's momentum was fierce, and he pushed his opponent several miles away. Blazing sparks exploded between the two, soaring into the sky.
The barren land cracked open, and Ye Chen blasted his opponent into the ground. His valiant fighting style changed Ye Chen's temperament.
Turning around, Ye Chen looked at the yellow-robed sword artist!
"It's over!"
Stabbing the longsword in his left hand into the ground, Ye Chen took a deep breath. He didn't know where his exhausted body got strength from, but it flowed through the virtual meridians in his body and into his arms. The muscles on his arms suddenly swelled up, becoming sharp and angular like they were forged from steel.
Bang!
There were no fancy moves, just a straight slash.
Ye Chen held his sword with both hands and slashed his opponent into the ground, burying half of his body in the ground. Without waiting for his opponent to react, another slash came down. This slash was simple, but it seemed to carry all of Ye Chen's concentration. It instantly broke the longsword raised above the yellow-robed sword artist's head.
The longsword broke, and the yellow-robed sword artist fell!
Sheathing his sword, Ye Chen looked around, only to see the boundless barren land in ruins. If the yellow-robed sword artist had a physical body, he would definitely be covered in corpses, and blood would flow like a river.
Weng!
Ye Chen's figure gradually became blurry, and finally, like the yellow-robed sword artist, he disappeared into nothingness.
In the testing circle near the wall, Ye Chen's main body opened his eyes. There was a faint trace of fatigue, and his body was even showing signs of numbness.
When everyone saw that Ye Chen had woken up, their scalps went numb. They hurriedly looked at the wall, and the third name on the first row was actually Ye Chen's name.
A purple name!
"Third place, purple name. He passed all seven rounds!"
"Scary, other than Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue, who would have thought that another monstrous talent would appear. This is big news."
Everyone couldn't control their emotions, and they started discussing fervently.
"He passed?"
Hai Wuya had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Passed! He is as famous as Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue!"
Yan Fengfeng knew that the third place was actually no different from the first and second place. The reason why Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue could be in front was because they had taken the test a year earlier than Ye Chen. If it were Ye Chen taking the test first, then Ye Chen would be the first place. Therefore, as long as it was a purple name, the talent would be the same. It was just that the ranking would be different.
"Xie Zhiqiu, you can't compete with him."
Ling Luohan forced a smile and said to the absent-minded Xie Zhiqiu.
Clenching his right fist, Xie Zhiqiu stared at Ye Chen. Originally, he wanted to have a battle with Ye Chen after the talent test and wash away his previous humiliation. But now, he didn't have the slightest bit of confidence. He had been instantly killed in the sixth round, and Ye Chen had passed the seventh round. The gap between them was too big.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to wash away his previous humiliation. I don't believe that he can maintain his advantage forever."
