"Strange, he is clearly only an Inferior Grade Martial King. Why is he so ridiculously strong?"
The outstanding talents of the various nations withdrew their perception. Doubts filled their hearts.
The strength that Xiao Chen displayed had already raised their guard. He was definitely a strong competitor in the fight for the Ancient Desolate Tower.
They had no choice but to pay more attention to him.
Xia Xiyan, Jiang Zimo, and Mu Xinya all congratulated Xiao Chen one after another.
The matches continued. For a long time, no one obtained ten consecutive victories. This continued until the Beast Taming Abode's Pei Shaoxuan appeared. He finally became the second person to obtain ten consecutive victories.
Furthermore, Pei Shaoxuan had obtained ten consecutive victories even more effortlessly than Xiao Chen. This attracted even more attention.
In every battle, Xiao Chen summoned out seven or eight high-ranked Spirit Beasts. He did not have to do anything himself. Instead, he hid at the side and controlled the Spirit Beasts to surround his opponent.
Xiao Chen easily won every battle; he did not exhaust much of his energy.
After that, the three people who appeared — Ding Fengchou, Jiang Zimo, and Mu Xinya — obtained ten consecutive victories. This brought the atmosphere of the wrestling ring to a climax.
Each of these people was more incredible than the last. Each victory was more dazzling than the last. They completely suppressed Xiao Chen's brilliance.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He did not care too much about this kind of reputation. As long as he could obtain victory using the least amount of energy, it was sufficient.
The matches continued until the sky turned dark. Only then did the matches of more than a hundred people come to an end. A total of seven people obtained ten consecutive victories.
They were Xiao Chen, Jiang Zimo, Ding Fengchou, Mu Xinya, Pei Shaoxuan, Xia Xiyan, and the Holy Fire Manor's Leng Yun, whom Xiao Chen was wary of.
However, Leng Yun did not pay any special attention to Xiao Chen because of the dispute between Xiao Chen and Old Qin. It was clear that he did not care.
Not far from the wrestling ring, there was a small and exquisite courtyard. This was where the crowd would be staying for the next five days.
Night fell completely, and the sky was filled with dazzling starlight. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in his courtyard and cleaned up the hidden injuries from today's matches.
In every battle, no matter how strong a martial artist was, he or she would leave behind more or less hidden injuries. If they were not cleaned up in time, they would become hidden injuries. At that time, it would be very troublesome to deal with them.
Xiao Chen had developed this good habit a long time ago. After every battle, he would promptly clean up his internal injuries.
An hour later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. All the internal injuries in his body had recovered under the nourishment of the Essence Qi.
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to sleep. He still had many things to do. He slowly replayed the battle during the day in his mind.
Thinking back to the beginning, he got up and started practicing alone in the room. He wanted to see what he didn't do well enough so that he could be better prepared the next time he encountered the same situation.
"Although my physical body is strong, I can't keep up with the Martial Techniques of my fists and legs. The Medial Grade Earth Ranked Great Dragon Tiger Fist can no longer keep up with my rhythm."
In the end, Xiao Chen concluded. The last battle with Beiming Feng was the best proof.
When facing a cultivator who also specialized in fists and legs, Xiao Chen was at a complete disadvantage in terms of techniques. If it were not for his strong physical body, he might have had to draw his saber.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "After this matter is over, it looks like I need to find a peak Earth Ranked Fist Technique to practice."
It was already late. Xiao Chen did not dwell on this. He took out two Medial Grade Spirit Stones and held them in his hands. Then, he entered into a state of cultivation.
The next morning, Xiao Chen woke up early. The moment he left the courtyard, he ran into Xia Xiyan and Xiao Chen, who had gone out together.
After they greeted each other, the three of them headed to the wrestling ring together. Along the way, Xiao Rou did not seem to be in good spirits. She had only won three matches yesterday.
Her lack of combat experience was a fatal flaw. This was especially so when she met with cultivators with dense killing Qi. Before the fight even started, she was already afraid.
However, others would not be able to help her. If she could endure it, she would be able to grow quickly in the wrestling ring.
If she could not endure it, she would not be able to walk out of the shadow of defeat. It would be difficult for her to improve in the future. Whether it was a blessing or a disaster depended on her.
"Xiao Chen, I heard some news about you," Xia Xiyan suddenly said just as they were about to enter the wrestling ring.
Xiao Chen stopped and said, "Is it about someone taking special care of me in the wrestling ring?"
Xia Xiyan nodded. She had a worried expression on her face as she said, "Li Xiuzhu is famous in the Heavenly Extermination Union for seeking revenge for the smallest grievance. He is very narrow-minded. Back then, when you embarrassed him in front of everyone, he already spoke to Gao Yangyu."
Indeed, it was Li Xiuzhu's doing. It was as Xiao Chen had guessed. "Thank you. However, half-step Martial Monarchs cannot participate in the Rank A wrestling ring. It should not be a problem for me to obtain sixty victories."
Xia Xiyan shook her head and said, "It is not as simple as you think. In order to prevent people from obtaining too many consecutive victories, the wrestling ring has a special group of cultivators below half-step Martial Monarch to snipe the participants.
"Although these people are not half-step Martial Monarchs, they all have their own consummate skills. Just like Xiao Yang, there are also some old monsters that have lived for more than a hundred years. They are truly undefeatable people below half-step Martial Monarch."
Xia Xiyan continued, "Think about Gao Yangyu. If he specifically targets you and sends someone to severely injure you in the first match of the day, what will happen to the next ten-odd matches?"
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not seem to mind, Xiaorou said, "My Senior Sister has already told you so much. Why are you not worried at all?"
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and helplessly, "I am very worried. However, there is no need to show it on my face. Furthermore, worrying is useless. I will deal with whatever comes my way. In any case, I must obtain the twenty spots in the Ancient Desolate Tower. No one can stop me. "
"Thank you for reminding me. Let's go in."
Xia Xiyan sighed softly to herself. It was indeed as Xiao Chen said. So what if I worry? It will not solve the problem.
Everyone else had already arrived at the spectator stands reserved for the participants of the wrestling ring. Xiao Chen found a desolate corner.
After he sat down, he ignored the gazes of the others and sat down cross-legged. Then, he started to cultivate the Firmament Body Tempering Art's fourth layer.
"Is there any use in clinging at the last minute?" When the Beast Taming Abode's Pei Shaoxuan saw this scene, he could not help but laugh.
The others shook their heads as well, expressing their disagreement. What could they do during the day? They might as well observe their opponents' strength.
Even Jiang Zimo and Ding Fengchou felt that there was no need. Unless they wanted to make a breakthrough, cultivating now would be useful.
However, that was not the case for Xiao Chen. Furthermore, after advancing to Martial King, it was not easy to break through a bottleneck. There were many geniuses who could not break through even after half a year.
After watching the wrestling rings for a day, Xiao Chen had a rough understanding of everyone's strength.
If not for Xia Xiyan, Xiao Chen might have continued watching for another day. However, he now felt a sense of danger.
Xiao Chen would never fight a battle he was not confident of winning. Only by breaking through to the Firmament Body Tempering Art's fourth layer would he be confident of obtaining sixty victories.
Thus, from now on, he could not waste any time. As for what others thought, why should he care? "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
Amid the drumming, Xiao Chen's mental state was as calm as a lake. There were no fluctuations at all. He focused on cultivating the Firmament Body Tempering Art's fourth layer.
Xiao Chen separated a strand of his Spiritual Sense and placed it on the gray-robed old man. Cultivating was one thing, but he could not forget about the wrestling rings.
As Xiao Chen circulated his Vital Qi throughout his body, strands of hot energy came from the top of his head. That was the excess energy that came from circulating his Vital Qi.
Time slowly went by. Xiao Chen turned a deaf ear to the noise and liveliness of the wrestling ring. It was like he was in a forest, quiet and peaceful.
"Number 15, go up quickly."
After some time, Xiao Chen's strand of Spiritual Sense heard the old man's voice. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
When the gray-robed old man saw the calm Xiao Chen, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Standing in the wrestling ring, Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute to the surroundings and said, "I am the Great Qin Nation's Xiao Chen. Everyone, please enlighten me!"
In the tall tower in the distance, Gao Yangyu watched expressionlessly as Xiao Chen entered the wrestling ring. He said to the old man beside him, "How is the person you mentioned? Are you confident of severely injuring him in the first match?"
According to the rules of the Wrestling Ring, everyone could only fight twice in a day. Although Gao Yangyu had hired many experts, the Wrestling Ring did not have enough strength.
Although Gao Yangyu had hired many experts, there were many participants. Furthermore, each participant had to fight eighteen matches. It was impossible to place all the experts he hired on Xiao Chen.
Thus, the first match was the most crucial. As long as he could severely injure Xiao Chen in the first match, Gao Yangyu would not have to waste his resources on the remaining matches.
For the sake of the Spirit Stone reward, the spectators would also fight. Defeating the severely injured Xiao Chen would not be a problem.
If Gao Yangyu lost eighteen matches in one day, he would be able to deal with this troublesome Xiao Chen in two and a half days.
The old man knew the frustration and rage in Gao Yangyu's heart. He patted his chest and guaranteed, "City Lord, don't worry. The Elders analyzed the ten matches yesterday. This person is extremely strong, and his physical body's defense is extraordinary. However, his Palm Techniques are not very exquisite.
"As long as we find someone with a stronger physical body, we will be able to crush him easily."
Gao Yangyu said sullenly, "Can you guarantee that?"
The old man said with certainty, "There is absolutely no problem. If he cannot withstand severe injuries, City Lord, you can severely injure me. Compared to that person, Xiao Chen's physical body is on a completely different level."
When Gao Yangyu heard this, he was slightly relieved.
When Xiao Chen entered the dueling ring, the previously calm dueling ring immediately turned noisy as everyone discussed the dueling ring.
Although Jiang Zimo and the others had stolen the limelight from Xiao Chen's performance the previous day, he was still the first person to set off a climax. Everyone was still filled with anticipation.
"Bang!"
After a while, a tall and stout man carrying a huge axe leaped out from his seat.
As this person flew, he did not give off any fluctuations of Essence. Unexpectedly, he was someone who cultivated the physical body.
"Bang!"
When the stout man landed on the ground, he gave off a loud sound and kicked up a cloud of dust into the air.
Xiao Chen peered through the dust and saw this person's appearance. He could not help but reveal a smile, "Bai Lixi, you actually dare to appear before me. You are extraordinarily courageous."
