Ding Fengchou raised his palm, and a ball of lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy gathered on his palm. The unconscious Jin Wuji's expression immediately relaxed.
"Bang!"
Ding Fengchou casually waved his hand and the ball of lightning landed on the ground. It blasted a huge pit and kicked up a cloud of dust.
"What a strong lightning-attributed energy. This person might be cultivating a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique. Otherwise, he would not have such surging energy as an Inferior Grade Martial King."
Ding Fengchou frowned slightly as he muttered to himself. Furthermore, this was only the remnant energy. If he used it at full power, it would be even stronger.
It had to be said that Ding Fengchou's eyes were very good. With just the remnant energy, he was able to roughly guess Xiao Chen's true strength.
"Ding Fengchou, I told you long ago not to bring out trash. Now, you have embarrassed yourself." The Beast Taming Abode's Pei Shaoxuan laughed loudly as he walked over.
You are seeking death! Ding Fengchou's expression turned cold. He formed two fingers on his right hand into a sword and pointed at Pei Shaoxuan.
"Xiu!"
The sword at Ding Fengchou's waist hummed and quickly came out of its scabbard. Under his control, it carried a surging sword intent as it flew at Pei Shaoxuan.
"Wu!
Wu! "The sword hummed in the air. Water-like ripples spread out from the sword. It seemed like space itself turned blurry.
Pei Shaoxuan's expression changed. He had not expected Ding Fengchou to make a move. He quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
A circular formation appeared in front of Pei Shaoxuan. An ape with skin as hard as steel blocked Pei Shaoxuan's path.
"Bang!"
As soon as the ape appeared, a huge bloody hole was opened up in its chest by the longsword. The sword pierced through its body and it couldn't be any more dead.
"Hu chi!"
Pei Shaoxuan had not expected Ding Fengchou to break the Steel Ape, which had a high defense, in an instant.
Pei Shaoxuan did his best to dodge. However, the sword still managed to leave a deep wound on his right arm. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Soon, his entire right arm was dyed red; it looked very scary.
"Pei Shaoxuan, on account of your First Senior Brother, I will not kill you immediately. In the future, you better watch your mouth. The people of the Heavenly Sword Gate are not for you to speak."
Kacha!
Ding Fengchou waved his hand, and his sword returned to its scabbard. He picked up Jin Wuji's body and left without even looking at Pei Shaoxuan.
As Pei Shaoxuan watched Ding Fengchou leave, he revealed an extremely hateful gaze. The grudge between him and Ding Fengchou had started long ago.
During one of his fortuitous encounters, he had been severely injured by the other party while fighting for a natural treasure. The other party had even stolen all of his treasures, and he had always viewed it as a great humiliation.
Otherwise, he would not have dealt a heavy blow to Jin Wuji in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition and eliminated him in a sorry state.
After that, he retracted his gaze and stopped the sword wound on his arm. He squatted down and pointed the red ring on his right hand at the Steel Ape lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
Chi chi!
With a flash of red light, the Steel Ape's corpse and blood were sucked into the ring.
Kacha kacha! A series of hair-raising sounds came from the ring. It was very strange.
The full moon hung high in the sky, like a silver plate adorning the night sky. Xiao Chen and Mu Xinya sat on a roof in the city.
Although they were chatting, Mu Xinya was the one speaking most of the time.
Xiao Chen had a rough understanding of what happened after she left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. After inheriting the Heavenly Wolf King's power, Mu Xinya's strength increased rapidly.
Now, she was already a peak Superior Grade Martial King. The most important thing was that she did not have any bottlenecks. As long as she absorbed the Heavenly Wolf King's power, her strength would continue to increase. Her potential was unlimited.
When fighting with others, she could draw on the Heavenly Wolf King's power. Even if she faced a half-step Martial Monarch, she would still be able to hold her own.
She would not be like Xiao Chen, who had no chance and could only find an opportunity to retreat.
Because of her, the Heavenly Wolf Race, which was in a precarious situation, obtained a large amount of resources from the Myriad Fiend Palace. The overall strength of the Heavenly Wolf Race increased by the day.
"Ye Chen, did you know? That month in the underground world was actually the most ordinary period of my life."
Mu Xinya raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight shone on her silver hair, adding a faint glow to it. It looked somewhat dreamy.
"Ha ha! However, I cannot stop. The burden of the clan rests on my shoulders. There are twenty spots in the Ancient Desolate Tower. I must obtain one."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "In that case, I wish you success. I must obtain one of the twenty spots."
Mu Xinya smiled, "In that case, let's work hard together. When the time comes, we will work together in the Ancient Desolate Tower. With our tacit understanding, we might be able to reach a height that no one has ever reached before.
"I'm leaving. Thank you for chatting with me for so long. I can finally let go of the burden in my heart."
Mu Xinya waved her hand at Xiao Chen. Then, she jumped off the roof and landed far away.
Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the distant Mu Xinya. He sighed softly, "There are more than a thousand peak geniuses. Just in this group, there are geniuses among geniuses like Ding Fengchou, Jiang Zimo, and Mu Xinya. These twenty spots will not be easy to obtain."
However, no matter what, he had to obtain these twenty spots. The Ancient Desolate Tower had a total of nine floors. Back then, the genius Thunder King had made it to the seventh floor before he rose up.
In the past few years, although there were not many people who made it to the fifth floor, they had all obtained great benefits.
Some of them had a great increase in their cultivation. Some had obtained ancient Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques or Heaven Ranked Cultivation Techniques.
There were also those who had reached a bottleneck in comprehending Martial Techniques. They had a huge breakthrough in there and their combat prowess had increased greatly after they came out.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that without the Ancient Desolate Tower, it would be very difficult for the cultivators of the four nations to enter the top fifty on the Tianwu Ranking.
The next day, just as dawn broke, the light of dawn shone on every corner of Wrestling City.
More than two hundred outstanding talents from all over the world were already waiting in the great hall of Old Li's residence.
Xiao Chen stood in a corner of the crowd, waiting calmly for Li Xiuzhu to arrive. This was only the first round of selection. He believed that he had the strength to clear it.
After a while, Li Xiuzhu walked out from the back of the great hall. Aside from his three assistants, there was an unfamiliar cultivator beside him.
That person wore tight cultivator robes. His muscles were bulging, making him look very strong. He looked to be in his forties and was actually a half-step Martial Monarch.
There was a faint scar on the right side of this person's face, giving him a ferocious aura. His eyes were dim and lifeless, making him look very sinister.
Li Xiuzhu found Xiao Chen in the crowd and smiled coldly. Then, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Wrestling City's City Lord, Gao Yangyu. We will not be in charge of what happens next. Six days from now, I will be in charge of counting the people who won sixty matches.
"I will bring those who meet the criteria to Desolate City and meet up with the people from the other three groups for the second round of selection. Those who do not meet the criteria will be sent home."
After Li Xiuzhu spoke, he did not care about anything else. He led his three assistants and left, leaving the scene to Gao Yangyu.
Gao Yangyu looked at the crowd calmly. With a flip of his hand, a stack of contracts appeared. Then, he silently distributed them to the crowd.
Xiao Chen took a look at the contract. It was a life-and-death contract. The general content of the contract was that he was willing to participate in the A-rank wrestling matches. His life and death had nothing to do with Wrestling City.
"Let me state this first: Wrestling City does not have much of a relationship with the Heavenly Extermination Union. They have no control over me.
"In fact, I only received news about you people wanting to participate in the A-rank wrestling matches a week ago. I will not give you any special privileges. You will be the same as the other cultivators participating in the A-rank wrestling matches. Your life and death will be up to fate. If you want to participate, you will have to sign this contract first. "
After Gao Yangyu finished distributing the contracts, he spoke calmly.
Li Xiuzhu had already told everyone about this. The outstanding talents present all had calm expressions. They did not hesitate to sign the contracts.
Perhaps there might really be deaths in the A-rank wrestling matches. However, everyone here was an outstanding talent; they were all very strong. Who would think that they would be the ones dying?
After signing the life-and-death contract, Xiao Chen lined up at the back of the crowd. He was the last to hand the contract to Gao Yangyu.
Gao Yangyu looked at the name on the life-and-death contract. He could not help but glance at Xiao Chen. An undetectable killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel this killing intent. However, his expression did not change as he slowly moved to the back.
Xiao Chen had no grudges with Gao Yangyu. Logically speaking, Gao Yangyu could not possibly have any killing intent towards him. The only possibility was that Li Xiuzhu had left some instructions for him.
It looks like this old thing really wants to fight with me, Xiao Chen thought to himself coldly. I will endure this for now and keep an eye out.
After Gao Yangyu put away the contract, he appeared very satisfied. He smiled faintly and said, "Very good. No one is absent. I wish you all good luck in advance."
Gao Yangyu twisted the ring on his right hand and space fluctuated intensely. Suddenly, a door of light appeared in the hall.
"Let's go!" Gao Yangyu took the lead and stepped into the door of light.
None of them were ordinary cultivators. They knew that this was a rarely seen teleportation door. There was nothing to be surprised about, so they all followed suit.
As usual, Xiao Chen was the last to enter. When he stepped into the door of light, he felt a mysterious energy pull his body infinitely. All the sensations disappeared.
It felt like only an instant, but it also felt like an eternity. Xiao Chen finally regained control of his movements. "Roar! Roar!
Roar! "
Just as Xiao Chen found his footing, he heard earth-shattering shouts. The sounds did not stop for a long time.
Xiao Chen looked up and discovered that he and the others were in a majestic wrestling ring. The circular wrestling ring was at least ten thousand square meters in size.
It was surrounded by a ring of spectator stands. The ten thousand seats were all occupied; it was very lively.
Gao Yangyu gathered everyone together and pointed in a direction. He said, "Later, a thousand Demonic Beasts will charge out from the cages over there. There will be a total of two hundred iron medallions in the bodies of the thousand Demonic Beasts. You have to kill the Demonic Beasts and obtain the iron medallions before you can truly qualify to fight in the Rank A wrestling ring. "
