"That's right. I think he does not even have the ability to break through the huge waves. He cannot even reach Qianren Island. What is the point of making a gentlemen's agreement?"
"However, perhaps he is self-aware and knows that he is weak. That's why he is embarrassed to speak."
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not speak, some of the cultivators who found him an eyesore all mocked him.
If not for giving Su Xiaoxiao face, they would have said even worse things. This was the reality of the Tianwu Continent. Without strong strength, no matter where one went, one would not gain the respect of others.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He did not care about these words. He grasped his Lunar Shadow Saber tightly and stopped Kim Tae-ho and Su Xiaoxiao, who wanted to speak up for him.
The best way to refute was to use the saber in one's hand to prove it. No matter how loud one's words were, it would not be as direct as using the saber.
Jin Wuji was upset that Xiao Chen did not make a gentlemen's agreement. So many people already agreed, but you, an expert from the Great Qin Nation, did not.
It was clear that Xiao Chen was not giving Jin Wuji any face. However, the other party was Su Xiaoxiao's friend. It was not good for Jin Wuji to be too obvious.
A smile appeared on Jin Wuji's face again. He said in a clear voice, "Since everyone has made a gentlemen's agreement, then let's not waste any more time. Let's start the exchange. Everyone should stop when necessary. We will compete one at a time. After that, the others can give their comments. This way, everyone will be able to gain some comprehension."
Right after Jin Wuji spoke, two people immediately walked to the empty space on the floor. The empty space where the tables had been moved was very large. If it was just an ordinary exchange, it was more than enough space.
"The two of you, remember to stop when necessary. Don't damage the harmony." Jin Wuji was the host and also half a referee. When he saw people exchanging pointers, he reminded them not to damage the harmony.
"Ha ha! Brother Jin, don't worry. I, Liu Meng, know my limits. I will definitely not injure Brother Zhou."
"Brother Jin, don't worry. I will only use fifty percent of my strength at most."
The two people who came out had gentle smiles on their faces. Their tones were calm, but their words were very hostile. They were competing with each other, not giving way.
Jin Wuji frowned slightly and sat down beside Yue Chenxi again. He said, "Let's begin!"
Boom!
Right after they spoke, the two of them each attacked. Their fists and legs collided in the air. The resulting shockwaves dispersed and both of them were forced back by ten meters.
A moment later, they quickly rushed forward and started fighting fiercely. One of them had a fiery-red pillar of light flowing around his body, while the other had a formless wind energy flowing around him.
Of the two of them, one had comprehended the concept of fire, while the other had comprehended the concept of wind. Moreover, looking at the situation on the stage, both of them had high attainments.
After exchanging over a hundred punches and kicks, the two of them were equally matched. Both of them retreated, and this time, they finally got serious.
Liu Meng took out the big saber on his back. The saber was three inches wide and six feet long. It was a fierce and thick saber. With a thought, the saber's body was immediately covered in a fiery red flame.
The cultivator with the surname Zhou flipped his palms and took out two swords from his spatial ring. He held them tightly in his hands. Unexpectedly, he was using the rarely seen Dual Sword Style.
The sword was 1.5 feet long and two fingers wide. Its blade was completely snow-white and flickered with a cold light. Tiny whirlwinds would flow out from the blade from time to time.
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "The two of them roared ferociously and charged at each other. The cultivator with the surname Zhou used the special speed advantage of the state of wind to surround Liu Meng. The two swords danced around.
Sword images flew around, forming a light screen that encased Liu Meng. The cultivator with the surname Zhou was very fast. In addition to the advantage of the Dual Sword Style, Liu Meng was suppressed to the point where he could only occasionally counterattack.
Although Liu Meng did not attack much and spent most of his time dodging, every time it looked like he was about to lose, he would make a move and destroy the killing move that his opponent had prepared.
Thus, the two of them were unable to do anything to each other. Just from the looks of it, the cultivator with the surname Zhou had a big advantage. This was because Liu Meng could not keep up with his speed.
Kim Tae-ho introduced from the side, "These two people entered the second round of the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. The one with the saber is called Liu Meng and the one with the two swords is called Zhou Lingheng. In their respective nations, they can be considered top-notch experts. They are now Inferior Grade Martial Kings.
"In the Great Qin Nation, their talent should be about the same as Ji Changkong and the others. However, the competition in their nation is more intense than in the Great Qin Nation. Thus, they are stronger than Ji Changkong."
Xiao Chen nodded, agreeing with Kim Tae-ho's opinion. These two people had comprehended their states to Great Perfection. They were still a long way from Consummation. However, it was not easy for them to reach this stage with their current cultivation.
"Who do you think will win?" Kim Tae-ho asked as he watched the two of them fighting.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before saying, "Liu Meng. His comprehension of the state of fire is deeper. He already has something of his own in it. Every time he makes a move, he can instantly scatter the advantage that his opponent has accumulated over countless moves.
"As for Zhou Lingheng, he has only used the speed of the concept of wind. He doesn't have any personal comprehension at all. I guess that his comprehension of the concept is very likely to have been personally guided by a great teacher and not something he comprehended himself."
The state of wind was not only about speed. Back then, when Xiao Chen fought with Murong Chong, he understood this. Nimble, faintly discernible, formless, casual, and ostentatious were the characteristics of the state of wind.
When Yue Chenxi, who was beside Jin Wuji, heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He looked suspiciously at Xiao Chen. As far as he knew, Zhou Lingheng's state had indeed been personally guided by his master.
"You are just an insignificant Superior Grade Martial Saint. Since when are you qualified to comment on a battle between Martial Kings? How do you know that Zhou Lingheng is going to lose? If you do not understand, then don't spout nonsense. Don't cut your own tongue."
When a cultivator who was on good terms with Zhou Lingheng heard Xiao Chen say that Zhou Lingheng was going to lose, he immediately retorted loudly.
Another person at the side added, "That's right. Zhou Lingheng is suppressing Liu Meng. Even his ability to retaliate is limited. How can he be defeated?"
"Young Master Jin did not invite you to this gathering. If you come uninvited, then don't spout nonsense. Just watch carefully. Wait until you are a Martial King before you speak."
Kim Tae-ho was flustered. Just as he was about to scold them, Xiao Li stopped him and said indifferently, "Zhou Lingheng will lose within three moves. Don't bother with what they say."
They were just a bunch of clowns. Xiao Chen could not be bothered with them. When the truth came out, he would slap them in the face.
"Ignorant! How can Liu Meng win within three moves?"
"Zhou Lingheng is suppressing Liu Meng. It is difficult for him to retaliate. How can he be defeated? Furthermore, he is defeated within three moves. Ignorant brat, he only knows how to spout nonsense."
"This person has probably stayed in the Great Qin Nation for too long. He does not know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Does he really think that after leaving the Great Qin Nation, he can still be an outstanding talent like before?"
"The Great Qin Nation is the weakest of the five nations. To think that he is not embarrassed to voice his opinion here."
The battle in the arena continued. The discussions outside did not cause any distractions. If an expert of this cultivation realm could be so easily influenced by the environment, then he could not be called a genius.
Zhou Lingheng brandished his two swords with a 'hong hong' sound. Sword winds blew and a strong wind blew. He suppressed Liu Meng once again, and his aura rose continuously.
When Liu Meng's aura was about to reach its peak, Zhou Lingheng's eyes narrowed. He held his two swords together, preparing to execute a killing move to end the battle.
"Dang!"
However, just at this moment, Liu Meng suddenly made his move. Once again, when Zhou Lingheng's aura was at its peak, he used a surging saber Qi to force Zhou Lingheng's killing move back.
This was already the third time. Liu Meng had broken Zhou Lingheng's killing move three times in advance. Furthermore, every time Liu Meng's aura reached its peak, it would fall back to the bottom.
Jin Wuji and Yue Chenxi, who were in the arena, shook their heads at the same time. As the saying goes, things do not happen more than three times. If Zhou Lingheng did not succeed after three times, then he would not have any chance of victory. Zhou Lingheng was going to lose.
Damn it, he actually broke it again. Zhou Lingheng felt a sense of irritation in his heart. However, he did not care too much. Liu Meng could not catch up to his speed. He could still accumulate his aura again.
"Boom!"
Just as Zhou Lingheng was preparing to regroup, Liu Meng suddenly laughed maniacally, "Brother Zhou, don't tell me you still have a chance? Rise!"
The aura that Liu Meng had been suppressing suddenly exploded out. A strand of fire soared up from under his feet. A ferocious beast appeared above his head, brandishing its claws and roaring.
When the ferocious beast roared, Liu Meng's state of fire was raised to its peak. It completely suppressed Zhou Lingheng, whose aura had fallen to the bottom. The state of wind was quickly suppressed by the state of fire.
Soon, Zhou Lingheng was pressed into a corner, unable to move. Zhou Lingheng's expression changed greatly. It's over, my state is suppressed. My speed is no longer an advantage.
Liu Meng drew his saber and hacked down. Zhou Lingheng blocked with his two swords. However, his strength was not comparable to Liu Meng's in the first place.
Now that Zhou Lingheng's state was completely suppressed, it was even harder for him to block. Sweat dripped down from his forehead as he bitterly held on.
"Defeat!"
Liu Meng shouted and took a step forward. The entire fourth floor shook a few times and a huge force was transmitted. Zhou Lingheng was immediately sent flying and fell heavily on the ground.
Zhou Lingheng had been defeated within three moves. Furthermore, it was really within three moves. It was exactly as Xiao Chen had said. The people who mocked Xiao Chen earlier felt ashamed in their hearts.
"How did this brat get it right? He is indeed only a Superior Grade Martial Saint!"
"He must have guessed blindly. He must have guessed blindly. If we could not tell, how could he?" The few of them felt very sullen and depressed. They could only lie to themselves.
"Right, he must have guessed blindly. However, even so, I do not like him. He is too arrogant."
"If Miss Xiaoxiao was not here, I would not have been able to endure it. I would have made a move to teach this brat a lesson."
"Eh, it seems like someone can no longer endure it. Bai Shuiheng has already gone up."
A man dressed in white with a sword at his waist walked over to Xiao Chen with heavy steps. He said indifferently, "Bai Shuiheng, I heard your evaluation earlier. You seem to be quite strong. I would like to seek some advice from you. I wonder if that is possible?"
Fatso said softly, "This fellow is Zhou Lingheng's good friend. He is here to help him take revenge. You better be careful."
Jin Wuji, who was in the middle, frowned slightly and said, "Bai Shuiheng, you are only a step away from becoming a peak Inferior Grade Martial King. It is not appropriate for you to exchange pointers with a Superior Grade Martial Saint!"
