"Look, Chu Chaoyun looks like he is about to draw his sword!"
In the arena battles, no one paid much attention to Xiao Chen's duels. This was because they were boring. Most of his opponents chose to admit defeat.
However, once he encountered an opponent of the same level, he would immediately attract everyone's attention, and their attention would be focused on him.
In the first round of selections, Chu Chaoyun took the initiative to give up after obtaining sixty consecutive victories. Even after sixty consecutive victories, he did not draw his sword.
However, at that time, Chu Chaoyun and Zuo Mo had been assigned to the same wrestling ring. Zuo Mo had covered up all the glory, so no one had noticed him.
However, in the second round of selections, Chu Chaoyun had fought fifteen matches on the first day, and he had not lost a single match. He still did not draw his sword.
Even when facing Pei Shaoxuan, no one saw Chu Chaoyun draw his sword. It was like his sword was just a decoration.
The more this was so, the more curious the crowd became. They wanted to see if this person was like Xiao Chen.
They were both cultivators from the Great Qin Nation. After they drew their swords, they wanted to see how graceful they would be.
Among the crowd, Hua Yunfei and the others looked at Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun in the arena. They looked at each other speechlessly, feeling very depressed in their hearts.
Not long ago, these two people were just as famous as them. Today, just one Xiao Chen was enough to deal them a blow.
Who knew, another Chu Chaoyun would appear. The disappointment of this group of outstanding talents from the Great Qin Nation could be easily imagined.
As the two's auras clashed intensely in the arena, the whirlwind that rose from the ground became even more ferocious. It slowly spread outside the arena.
The whirlwind kicked up some dust on the ground and made everyone's vision blur. They could not help but squint and look carefully.
"Xiu!"
The surging strong wind suddenly stopped. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" Two crisp sounds of weapons being unsheathed rang out. Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen made their moves at the same time.
Behind Chu Chaoyun, a golden shadow suddenly lit up. The golden light was dazzling and dazzling, so much so that everyone felt a stinging pain in their eyes.
"State of light! Chu Chaoyun actually comprehended the strongest state of light among the elemental states!"
Everyone's hearts jolted and they were extremely shocked.
Xiu!
Amidst the golden light that filled the sky, a sword light that was even more dazzling than the golden light shot out. The sword intent was vast and boundless, stabbing at Xiao Chen with lightning speed.
The instant the golden light appeared, Xiao Chen released the state of thunder and state of massacre that he had been suppressing.
Purple light spread out behind Xiao Chen. Lightning flickered, accompanied by a boundless state of massacre. The red light of the state of massacre merged with the boundless lightning.
Bang, bang, bang!
As soon as the fight began, the states of both sides began to compete. The sky was filled with resplendent golden light and the strange and boundless purple-red light collided with each other in the arena.
A series of intense explosions resounded in the arena. The stone slabs on the surface of the arena shattered into pieces and rapidly floated into the air.
"Xiu!"
Amidst the chaotic arena, two figures flashed by amidst the lights of various colors. They were so fast that the eyes of the onlookers could not keep up with them.
The situation in the arena was very chaotic. Lights of various colors flickered and countless shattered stone slabs flew everywhere. The crowd could not clearly see how this extremely fast move happened.
"Pu ci!" Two streams of blood shot through the air. The surrounding floor was immediately dyed scarlet.
However, even Jiang Zimo and the others could not be sure whose wound it was that spurted out blood. The full power of the two's attack was simply too fast.
Furthermore, the arena was filled with all sorts of chaotic lights and scattered states. It was hard to see clearly.
At the two corners of the arena, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun had their backs to each other. Drops of blood slowly dripped from the tips of their sabers and swords.
"Is it a draw?" the crowd below said doubtfully when they saw this scene.
The sabers were already stained with blood. That meant that they struck each other at the same time. The two arrows of blood came from Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun.
"It was too fast. I did not see it clearly at all. Unexpectedly, it ended in a draw."
"Furthermore, it was a little chaotic. I did not see how the two made their moves at all."
Seeing that the result was already decided, the crowd shook their heads and sighed. This move was too fast. Although it was startling to watch, they could not understand it at all.
"Xiu!"
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun turned around at the same time. A golden light and a purplish-red light filled the air and poured into their weapons.
The crowd's expressions could not help but change. They muttered, "Why is it not over yet? There was such a huge commotion earlier. Could it be that they have not made their moves yet?"
Chu Chaoyun's sword left his hand and stopped in midair. Then, it spun quickly.
Chu Chaoyun's hands quickly formed hand seals. As he formed the hand seals, a golden light appeared on Chu Chaoyun's jade-white palms.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless. The Lunar Shadow Saber drew on a strange energy. Dark clouds churned in the sky, and thunder roared without end.
When the golden light was at its most resplendent, Chu Chaoyun parted his hands. His left hand, which was flickering with golden light, looked like he was touching a mirror in the air.
With the spinning sword as the center, he quickly drew a circle. "Chi!
Chi! "
As Chu Chaoyun's hand moved down, a golden sword image appeared. When the circle was complete, a circle of sword light appeared.
"Life-Extinguishing Blood-Reversing Sword!"
Chu Chaoyun shouted. The instant the circle of sword light formed, his right palm struck the spinning sword hilt in the middle of the circle.
The sword immediately turned into a beam of golden light. It carried an aura of destruction as it flew at Xiao Chen.
Everywhere it passed, the golden light gathered and did not scatter. It formed a piercing, slender pillar of light.
Xiao Chen pointed his saber at the sky. He instantly formed his strongest move, Wukui Moves Heaven. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The sky trembled. A scarlet divine Wukui Tree descended from the sky, carrying the might of thunder.
Boundless scarlet lightning appeared in the sky. Aside from being tyrannical, this Wukui Moves Heaven infused with the state of massacre also had a strange demonic aura to it.
"Bang!"
The scarlet divine Wukui Tree landed in front of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen sent out a palm strike as well. The divine tree moved on the ground and crashed into the golden sword light.
"Ka ca!"
In the arena, the sword shining with a golden light and the scarlet divine Wukui Tree arrived at each other very quickly.
There was a crisp sound as the sword pierced through the divine Wukui Tree, leaving a hole in the trunk.
Cracks spread out from the entrance of the cave. The entire skeleton of the divine Wukui Tree seemed to start cracking.
The longsword that was overflowing with golden light wasn't completely unscathed either. The originally dazzling radiance had dimmed a lot.
However, the speed of the two did not slow down. Their bodies and souls were still present. Their might was only reduced by fifty percent.
"Dang! Bang! "
There were two intense sounds of collisions. Chu Chaoyun's hands glowed with light as he struck the rapidly approaching divine Wukui Tree.
The state of thunder and state of massacre exploded, turning into an overwhelming scarlet shockwave as it surged towards Chu Chaoyun.
On the other side, the sword, which had dimmed significantly, arrived before Xiao Chen the moment the divine Wukui Tree knocked down Chu Chaoyun.
Xiao Chen shifted his feet and held his saber across his chest, blocking the tip of the sword. The surging energy of the sword immediately surged forward.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun missed. The remnant Martial Technique of their opponent knocked them to the ground at the same time. Blood leaked out of the corner of their mouths.
According to the rules, falling out of the arena meant defeat. However, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time. This could only be considered a draw.
"Xiu!"
Chu Chaoyun withdrew his palm, and the sword returned to the sword on his back with a 'ka cha' sound.
"After not seeing you for half a year, you are already able to force me to such a state. I hope you will still be this lucky after half a year!"
Chu Chaoyun wiped off the blood from the corner of his lips. He ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and walked to the side. Then, he closed his eyes and treated his injuries.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself for a while. He did not show much dismay on his face. Although he did not completely defeat his opponent, Xiao Chen had already probed his opponent's strength.
He was not afraid of his opponent being strong. He was only afraid of his opponent being unfathomable. He would not have a chance to understand him.
On the path of cultivation, it was not a bad thing for Xiao Chen to have an opponent like Chu Chaoyun. At the very least, it would be more exciting.
"Incredible! Unexpectedly, the Great Qin Nation has two peak geniuses. This is unbelievable. The Spiritual Energy in that place is very sparse."
"With these two people around, the cultivators of the Great Qin Nation will not dare to make irresponsible remarks when they go out."
When the crowd saw the two of them sitting cross-legged and treating their injuries, they discussed in soft voices. Xiao Chen's strength was clear for all to see. Now that Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen fought to a draw, everyone had a clear understanding of Xiao Chen's strength.
The arena continued, and soon, the second round of drawing lots began. Xiao Chen obtained the red token for number 17. He was in the first batch of competitors again.
His opponent was a cultivator from the Great Xia Nation. That person knew that Xiao Chen had suffered significant internal injuries in his fight with Chu Chaoyun.
It was impossible for him to recover so quickly. After hesitating for a while, he chose to fight to the death, to see if he could obtain a victory for himself.
Even if he could not obtain a victory, a draw was entirely possible. That would still be a point.
However, the results disappointed him. Xiao Chen had just consumed the Medicinal Pill for treating injuries that Shi Hailong had given him. The effects were unexpectedly good.
The internal injuries that Chu Chaoyun suffered from that sword strike had mostly healed. Although his combat prowess had not recovered completely, he had recovered at least ninety percent of it.
Bang! "
After ten moves, Xiao Chen forced his opponent back with his saber. Then, he immediately pressed forward and executed the Dragon Claw Fist with his left hand. He took advantage of his opponent's opening and knocked him off the arena.
"Thank you for letting me win!" Xiao Chen calmly walked off the arena under his opponent's depressed gaze.
The arena battles continued in batches. A few more people wanted to gamble and chose to fight with Xiao Chen.
Unsurprisingly, they all lost within fifty moves. After seeing Xiao Chen display his strong combat prowess once again, the next opponents …
They had already verified that Xiao Chen's injuries were completely healed. When they met Xiao Chen, they immediately forfeited without hesitation.
As the number of matches decreased, they could no longer afford to make any mistakes.
As the sun set in the west and dusk approached, Xiao Chen ascended the arena once again, feeling somewhat bored.
This was the last match of his thirty matches. The results of the previous twenty-nine matches had already guaranteed him one of the twenty spots.
The outcome of this last match did not have much to do with the overall situation. Regardless of who won or lost, Xiao Chen would be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Tower.
