Bai Zhengqi quickly flew up into the sky. However, there were countless sword shadows chasing after him.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the scene with a nervous expression.
They did not expect that the competition between the two of them would be so intense.
"Seeing this scene, I seem to have returned to a year ago. If I remember correctly, Bai Zhengqi was also like this back then. He did not manage to escape from Ye Wen's palm and was defeated in the end.
I wonder if he will be defeated by Ye Wen this time. "Someone said in anticipation.
"Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique is indeed very powerful. This is something that many people in the Cheng Clan know. However, Bai Zhengqi was defeated by him last year. He must have thought of many countermeasures in this one year.
Perhaps there will be a new turn of events this time. If Ye Wen really won this match so easily, then this test is too simple, right? "
"That's right. Although Ye Wen is very strong, he is definitely not the strongest among us. If he can defeat Bai Zhengqi so easily, then there will be many people who can pass this round of test! "
"I'm afraid it won't be so simple. Otherwise, the Clan Head would not have let Bai Zhengqi be the standard for this test!"
"Let's wait and see. I also feel that Ye Wen will not win this competition so easily!"
Everyone was looking forward to this competition. However, no one was clear about Bai Zhengqi's current strength.
To those who did not have the qualifications to participate in this round of competition, it did not matter if Bai Zhengqi won or lost. In any case, they would not have the chance to compete.
If they defeated Bai Zhengqi, even if there was another round of test later, their chances of becoming the Clan Head's direct disciple would be much higher.
Therefore, in their hearts, they did not wish for Bai Zhengqi to lose. They only hoped that Bai Zhengqi's strength would increase greatly in this one year. If that was the case, those who had cultivated to the fourth level would not have the chance to become the Clan Head's direct disciple.
Since they could not become the Clan Head's direct disciple, they naturally hoped that others did not have the qualifications.
Although this kind of thinking might be a little dark, this was the reality. However, this kind of thinking could only be buried in the bottom of their hearts. They would definitely not say it out loud.
In fact, not to mention those who had already been eliminated, even those who were qualified to participate in this round of assessment had such thoughts.
However, their emotions were even more complicated. On one hand, they hoped that Ye Wen could win. That way, their chances of defeating Bai Zhengqi would be higher.
However, they also hoped that everyone else would lose and that only they could win. That way, they would have a higher chance of becoming the Patriarch's direct disciple.
However, if everyone else lost, it meant that Bai Zhengqi's strength was too strong, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Hence, these people's thoughts were very complicated. They did not wish for Ye Wen to win, but they also did not wish for him to lose.
Whoosh!
Although everyone felt that Bai Zhengqi was currently in a dangerous situation and could be attacked by Ye Wen at any moment, Bai Zhengqi, who was the person in question, had a calm expression.
"I've already lost once last year. I won't fall into the same pit twice!" Bai Zhengqi thought.
His speed became much faster, and he soared into the sky in an instant, increasing the distance between him and the dozens of sword shadows below him.
However, what surprised everyone was that Bai Zhengqi did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he suddenly changed his direction and flew downwards.
"What is he trying to do?" When everyone saw this situation, they were immediately startled.
"Looks like he wants to forcefully break Ye Wen's sword formation!" Some people had already seen through Bai Zhengqi's intentions.
"This is too risky! Actually, with the distance between him and the sword formation, he could have completely escaped the sword formation's pursuit! "Many people were not optimistic about Bai Zhengqi's actions.
If it was them, they would definitely not choose to use such a method to clash head-on with Ye Wen's sword formation.
This was because Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique was very famous in the Cheng Clan. It was very strong, and even a late stage Mahayana Realm expert of the same level would find it hard to resist.
Hence, it was not without reason that Bai Zhengqi lost to Ye Wen last year.
"It is not that Bai Zhengqi has not exchanged blows with Ye Wen before. Last year, he had already tried Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique. Hence, he should be very clear about the might of Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique.
However, this time around, he actually chose to take such a risk and chose such a method to clash head-on with his opponent. This means that he definitely has a certain level of confidence! "Some people had high expectations for Bai Zhengqi.
After all, Bai Zhengqi had already failed once last year. He should have learned his lesson. It was impossible for him to give it his all without any confidence.
"Look at the Clan Head's expression. He doesn't seem to be worried at all. Hence, I feel that this competition will not end so quickly. Let us all look forward to it!" Some people immediately looked towards where the Clan Head was. However, they saw that the Clan Head had an indifferent expression. He did not seem to be worried at all.
"There is nothing strange about the Clan Head not being worried, right? Bai Zhengqi is only a benchmark that he came up with. Even if someone defeats him, there is still the third round of assessment.
Furthermore, this is the direct disciple that he wants to select. Why would he be happy when someone loses to Bai Zhengqi? "
"That's right. I believe that the Clan Head should be looking forward to the appearance of a few outstanding disciples. Since he pulled Bai Zhengqi out for us to compete, it clearly means that the Clan Head recognizes Bai Zhengqi's strength.
Hence, if someone can defeat Bai Zhengqi, it proves that our Cheng Clan's younger generation does not only have Bai Zhengqi as an expert.
In such a situation, shouldn't the Clan Head be happy? Why would he be worried? You speak as if we are enemies with the Clan Head! "Some people were clearly dissatisfied with that person's words.
Indeed, the Clan Head was currently selecting talents for the Cheng Clan. He definitely hoped that the Cheng Clan would produce more and more outstanding disciples.
However, some people felt that the Clan Head was on the same side as Bai Zhengqi and they were the Clan Head's enemies.
Why would he be sad when Bai Zhengqi lost? Wouldn't that mean that the Clan Head would be unhappy if they won?
"That is not what I meant. I only wanted to say that since the Clan Head wants to select a direct disciple, he would definitely be very cautious.
If Bai Zhengqi's strength was so ordinary, then the Clan Head would not have made him the benchmark. Hence, it is definitely not a simple matter for Ye Wen to defeat Bai Zhengqi. It is not that the Clan Head would be unhappy if we won! " That person saw that everyone seemed to have the intention to crusade against him. He knew that he had said something wrong and hurriedly explained.
"That is understandable!" Everyone nodded their heads and forgave him.
"Shua!"
At this moment, Bai Zhengqi descended rapidly from the sky above the training grounds. He thrust his sword forward and a huge sword image appeared.
When Ye Wen saw this situation, his face turned grave. He knew that this Bai Zhengqi was not an ordinary person. He definitely had something to rely on if he dared to take such a risk.
Ye Wen did not dare to underestimate his opponent. The Spiritual Energy in his body surged and dozens of sword images instantly shone with a dazzling white light.
"Boom!"
There was a loud sound and the light radiated in all directions. Everyone was unable to continue their attack. They all turned their faces away or used their hands to block the dazzling light.
"This power is really not small. It is much stronger than the fight between the two of them last year!" Although they had yet to see the result, just the surging energy alone was enough for them to feel how powerful this attack was.
"That is for sure. It is impossible for them to still be at the same place in a year. The two of them have increased their strength significantly.
It is just that Bai Zhengqi was defeated last year. I wonder what the result will be this time! " Everyone was looking forward to this. They wanted to see if Bai Zhengqi could break Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique this time.
If Bai Zhengqi was unable to break it, then he would definitely lose.
However, even if Bai Zhengqi managed to break it, he might not be able to win. This was because the fight had just begun.
"Quick, look!" Suddenly, someone pointed at the training grounds and exclaimed.
Everyone quickly shifted their gaze to the training grounds. Although the white light had not completely disappeared, with their strength, they could still see the situation inside.
They only saw a blue figure charging out from the white light, heading towards Ye Wen who was outside the white light. If that figure was not Bai Zhengqi, who else could it be?
"Bai Zhengqi successfully broke Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique!" Seeing this scene, it went without saying that although they could not see what happened in the earlier attack, Bai Zhengqi's appearance had already explained everything.
One year ago, Bai Zhengqi was defeated by Ye Wen's Sword Control Technique.
However, a year later, Bai Zhengqi was able to break through his Sword Control Technique. This meant that Bai Zhengqi's strength had grown by quite a bit in this one year.
"Originally, I thought that Bai Zhengqi was only at the Initial Stage Mahayana Realm and was at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation realm. Even if he lost to Ye Wen, it would be understandable.
However, from the looks of it, it is hard to say who will win. Perhaps this time, Bai Zhengqi might really be able to wash away his previous shame, "someone said in shock and excitement.
This was not the first time Bai Zhengqi defeated a Late Stage Mahayana Realm cultivator. However, last year, he was only able to defeat an ordinary Late Stage Mahayana Realm cultivator.
A person like Ye Wen was an expert in the Late Stage Mahayana Realm. That was why Bai Zhengqi was defeated last year.
Today, Bai Zhengqi was still at the Initial Stage Mahayana Realm. He did not make any breakthroughs in his cultivation realm. If he could defeat Ye Wen, it would mean that his ability to fight against those with higher cultivation realms had become even stronger. He would no longer be able to defeat an ordinary Late Stage Mahayana Realm cultivator. Instead, he would be able to defeat a Late Stage Mahayana Realm expert.
"As expected, he still managed to break it!" When Ye Wen saw the person rushing over, he was shocked.
Although he knew that Bai Zhengqi was not easy to deal with, he was still very confident in his Sword Control Technique. However, he did not expect this fellow to actually break it. It was truly shocking.
