The next day, when the first rays of the morning sun shone on the earth, the fourth round of the finals was about to begin.
After the first three rounds, the rankings of some people had already been determined.
The five chief core disciples, Qin Wentian of the Spirit Beast Sect, Chen Hongshui of the Array Faction, and Ye Shuangshuang of the Mirage Faction, were basically out of the top twelve. In the following rounds, they were basically there to make up the numbers.
Today's fourth round of matches, as well as the following fifth round of matches, could basically be said to be the chase for the top 12 of the General Alliance Convention.
Excalibur's personal disciple Jian Zizai, Excalibur's chief core disciple Jian Yan, Puppet Sect's personal disciple Sima Luo, Hell Sect's personal disciple Wei Shenmo, Ghost King Sect's personal disciple Takeshi Suki, Zither Sect's personal disciple Ziye Qin, Undead Sect's personal disciple Ouyang Haochen, Crafting Sect's personal disciple Zhao Xue Feng, Body Sect's personal disciple Ren Woxing, Assassin Sect's personal disciple Jing Ke.
As well as Wang Jizhong and Lin Yun from the Alliance Martial House.
The exact ranking of these 12 people would also be determined in the final two rounds of duels.
Every time these twelve people were selected, they would be able to become a peerless monstrous genius. They were able to dominate in the Wu Huang Realm and were known as the strongest in the Wu Huang Realm.
And the top few among them were able to fight against a half-step Wu Sheng, and even defeat a half-step Wu Sheng!
The audience cheered. This year's Alliance Conference could be said to be the grandest of all the previous Alliance Conferences.
Even in the previous Alliance Conference, where a genius like Jian Aotian was present, it was still difficult to compare.
The first match of the day was a match that would excite everyone.
"Fourth round, first match, Wang Jizhong versus Jian Yan!"
One was a peerless monstrous genius from the Alliance Martial House ten years ago, and the other was a personal disciple of the previous Excalibur.
Everyone was looking forward to this duel.
"Ten years ago, Wang Jizhong was defeated by Eldest Senior Brother Jian Yan. Will he be able to redeem himself this year?"
"It's hard to say. Even though Great Senior Brother Jian Yan's position as a direct disciple has been replaced by Jian Zizai, his true strength is still above average amongst the direct disciples."
"Wang Jizhong's' Energy Accumulation Expansion 'has also been developed to the extreme this year. If he is able to use the slash that he used against Jiang Yun yesterday, Jian Yan will definitely lose. However, it all depends on whether he has the chance to use it."
Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Jian Yan and Wang Jizhong arrived on the stage one after another.
"Long time no see." Wang Jizhong cupped his hands towards Jian Yan.
Jian Yan returned the greeting and said in a deep voice, "Compared to ten years ago, you are even stronger."
After a brief conversation, Ren Tianxing announced the start of the competition.
Originally, everyone thought that the outcome of this match would be inseparable. However, the direction of the situation had taken them by surprise.
After the start of the competition, Wang Jizhong immediately used 'Energy Accumulation Expansion'.
Unfortunately, Jian Yan was not Lin Yun. He would not give Wang Jizhong the chance to use 'Energy Accumulation Expansion'. He directly attacked, and his sword pierced through the air.
In an instant, the longsword in Jian Yan's hand instantly dissipated, transforming into an endless amount of light and shadows. After which, with lightning speed, it formed a crisscrossing sword net that crushed towards Wang Jizhong.
Facing Jian Yan's attack, Wang Jizhong did not have any way to deal with it. He could only give up on using 'Energy Accumulation Expansion'. Using only five times the amount of Immortal Qi, he added it to the 'Energy Accumulation Divine Blade' in his hand, and then slashed out.
This slash merely contained the full power of a level-nine Wu Huang in the early stages. With a leap, Jian Yan easily dodged it.
However, Wang Jizhong was unable to dodge the sword net that Jian Yan had unleashed. His body was instantly swallowed by the sword net, and a large amount of blood shot out.
With just one move, Wang Jizhong directly fell on his back.
"Thank you for letting me win." Jian Yan put away his sword. Without even waiting for Ren Tianxing to announce the result of the match, he directly walked down the stage.
"Jian Yan has won!"
When Ren Tianxing announced the result of the match, many of the Alliance Martial House disciples were stunned.
"Is this a lie? Wang Jizhong … How could Wang Jizhong be defeated in a single move! "
"How is this possible!? This Wang Jizhong has at least defeated two direct disciples. No matter what, he should be able to withstand a few moves from Jian Yan, right? "
"After not seeing each other for ten years, Jian Yan's strength has actually grown to such an extent …"
No one dared to believe such a result. They had originally thought that Wang Jizhong, who had unleashed the 'Energy Accumulation Expansion' to the extreme, would be able to fight evenly with Jian Yan. However, they did not expect that Jian Yan's strength had increased by so much compared to ten years ago.
After the crowd's discussion, Jian Yan also walked to the resting area. He glanced at Lin Yun who was sitting in the corner, thought for a moment, and then walked towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun felt Jian Yan's blazing gaze. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Jian Yan.
"Wang Jizhong is indeed strong. Unfortunately, this move requires too much time to gather energy." Jian Yan said.
Lin Yun nodded. This was also the biggest drawback of Wang Jizhong's' Energy Accumulation Expansion '. If it was combined with some specific defensive cultivation method, perhaps Wang Jizhong's strength would rise to another level.
"Although you and he are both disciples of the Alliance Martial House, I know that you are different from him. I have been waiting for you. Soon, we will be able to have a battle. " Jian Yan's words were suppressing a sense of excitement. Even Sima Luo and the others had performed better than the last time.
However, from beginning to end, Jian Yan only wanted to have a battle with Lin Yun.
This had nothing to do with anything else. It was as if there was a thread of fate between the two of them. There was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and he wanted to have a battle with Lin Yun.
Lin Yun didn't pay attention to him, and casually nodded.
After a period of time, several chief core disciples also went up to fight. However, it could be imagined that up until now, only if they encountered a chief core disciple would they have the ability to fight. Otherwise, if they encountered a direct disciple, Wang Jizhong, or Jiang Yun, they would only end up with a miserable defeat.
"That's not right. They are all chief core disciples, so how could Jian Yan be so strong?" Some of the Alliance Martial House disciples didn't understand Jian Yan, and thought that he was only an ordinary chief core disciple.
A disciple of Excalibur sneered, "You want to use this group of rotten fish to compare with our Elder Senior-apprentice Brother Jian Yan? Let me tell you this. Even if these five chief core disciples attacked together, they still wouldn't be a match for our Elder Senior-apprentice Brother Jian Yan! "
"After all, our Elder Senior-apprentice Brother Jian Yan was once a direct disciple. If it weren't for Jian Zizai, who is even more monstrous than him, he would still be a direct disciple of our Excalibur, and his strength would be even stronger than it is now! "
