"Xiu!"
As Xiao Chen waited, his final opponent appeared. When Xiao Chen saw his opponent's face, his eyes could not help but light up. He had not expected his final opponent to be Zuo Mo.
It looked like this duel would not be as simple as he had imagined. There was going to be a lot of fighting.
However, Zuo Mo smiled bitterly across Xiao Chen. He said, "I know you find this boring. However, it is unfortunate that I have to forfeit as well. I already have enough points to rank in the top twenty. There is no need to continue this pointless fight. Let's meet at the Ancient Desolate Tower."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "It will be difficult for me to fight. Let's meet at the Ancient Desolate Tower. Let's consider this a draw. We have not determined a victor between us yet. Sooner or later, we will have to fight."
Zuo Mo nodded and said, "There is still one and a half years before the next Five Nation Youth Competition begins. At that time, we will inevitably meet and have a good fight."
The two of them shook hands and walked off the arena. They started to watch the battles in the other arenas, waiting for the second round to end.
The matches slowly came to an end. Xia Xiyan walked over to Xiao Chen with a smile on her face. Clearly, she was very confident in her results.
"How was it? There should not be any problems, right?" Xiao Chen asked.
Xia Xiyan nodded and said, "I lost two matches and drew one. There should not be any problems. However, we still need to see the final results!"
After the final match in the arena ended, everyone started to wait anxiously.
The Heavenly Extermination Union had people in charge of the results of the various participants. Furthermore, these people were the brains of the various powers. They supervised each other and ensured the fairness of the results.
The results were quickly tabulated. After Shi Hailong and the others looked through them, he instructed someone to read them out slowly.
"The results are out. First place: Chu Chaoyun. Thirty matches. One draw. Winning the rest is a total of 59 points. Second place: Xiao Chen. Two draws. Winning the rest is a total of 58 points. Third place: Ding Fengchou. Three draws. Winning the rest is a total of 57 points.
There were no surprises. Aside from Chu Chaoyun, the people in the top ten were all peak characters from the previous gathering: Jiang Zimo, Mu Xinya, Zuo Mo, Chu Mu, Ding Fengchou, Xia Xiyan, and the others.
The expressions on everyone's faces were still relatively calm. It was only when the names of all the top geniuses and above were announced that they started to feel nervous.
At this time, it was their turn. Although it was said that there were 20 spots, the truth was that they could only fight for the remaining 10 spots.
When the old man finished reading the list, Shi Hailong said sternly, "Those whose names have not been read, step back. Those whose names have been read, step forward."
Expressions of pity flashed across the faces of the outstanding talents that failed to be selected. After sighing softly, they started to retreat.
She looked enviously at Xiao Chen and the others who had stepped forward. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness.
They knew that the gap between them and these people might be something that they would never be able to catch up to for the rest of their lives.
Shi Hailong swept his gaze across the crowd. Then, he flicked his finger, and jade pendants with mysterious talisman scripts landed in everyone's hands.
"Without these jade pendants, you will not be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Tower. I have given you the opportunity. How far you can go will depend on yourselves," Shi Hailong said expressionlessly. "Open the tower!"
Xiao Chen shouted the order, and the four old men behind him started to form hand seals in front of the Tianwu Emperor's statue.
Pure Essence flowed from Xiao Chen's arm into the statue. The Tianwu Emperor's statue started to glow with a golden light from bottom to top.
When the golden light covered the entire statue, the sword in the Tianwu Emperor's hand immediately gave off a boundless sword Qi and soared into the sky.
"Weng!
Weng! "A majestic and grand formation appeared in the sky above. Countless lines flickered, forming an extremely profound scene.
The golden sword Qi rushed to the center of the formation. "Hu chi!" When the sword Qi reached the center of the formation, it immediately spread out. All the lines turned golden.
When the golden light descended, it reflected on the plaza. It was a huge ancient formation. Sensing the vast Spiritual Energy in the formation, Xiao Chen could feel it.
Everyone, including Xiao Chen, was astonished. At this moment, they felt incredibly insignificant.
In the distance, the ancient tower that Xiao Chen had seen before disappeared. The buildings in front of him looked like they were being stripped of clothes.
When the Ancient Desolate Tower appeared before everyone's eyes, they were all astonished.
It turned out that the Ancient Desolate Tower was in the Tianwu Plaza. However, due to some formations forming a concealment spell, it was hard for people to find the Ancient Desolate Tower.
"Boom!"
The stone door at the bottom of the Ancient Desolate Tower opened. Shi Hailong said, "Let's go in!"
After the Ancient Desolate Tower appeared, Xiao Chen and the others hung their jade pendants on their chests. Then, they immediately headed for the door to the first floor.
Although the stone door was open, there was a layer of faint blue energy membrane flickering with a faint blue light. "Chi!
Chi! "
At the front of the group, four or five impatient outstanding talents from various places rushed in ahead of everyone else. Just as their fingers touched the Dao membrane,
When they touched the energy membrane, the jade pendants with the mysterious talisman scripts on them immediately lit up, and they disappeared in a flash.
It looked like the blue energy membrane had the ability to differentiate between people. Without the jade pendants, they would not be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Tower by force.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to enter the Ancient Desolate Tower. He stood at the foot of the tower and looked around.
The tower was more than four hundred meters tall and had nine floors. Spiritual Energy surrounded the foot of the tower, forming an overwhelming aura that soared into the clouds.
When standing at the foot of the tower, one could feel an ancient aura coming from it, giving off a sense of pressure.
Back then, the Thunder King only managed to reach the seventh floor. What exactly was in this Ancient Desolate Tower? It filled one with anticipation and anxiety. Xiao Chen did not know how many floors he could reach.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and walked to the door. Then, he stretched out his right hand towards the energy membrane.
"Xiu!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and it was like he passed through a layer of water. Then, he appeared on the first floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower.
"Boom!"
The moment Xiao Chen landed on the ground, he felt a huge pressure. It was a psychological pressure.
Instead, it was a formless pressure from the air. It was like a pair of huge hands pressing down on his shoulders, trying to push his entire body down.
Caught off guard, Xiao Chen stumbled. He was nearly pushed to the ground by this pressure.
After he reacted, Xiao Chen circulated his Vital Qi throughout his body. He straightened his back and allowed the pressure to hit him. He did not move his body at all.
This is not much pressure, Xiao Chen thought to himself. As long as I do not get pressed to the ground in an instant, I will be able to resist it easily.
Xiao Chen looked around. The first floor was very spacious. There were many portraits of people from the past carved on the walls. Many pairs of eyes watched the challengers.
Looking up, Xiao Chen saw a layer of light. It was like a ceiling separating the first and second floors.
Several cultivators flew into the air, resisting the air resistance as they slowly made their way to the light screen above their heads.
Normally, they would only need a few breaths to reach that height. However, at this moment, it was extremely difficult for them to move even one meter.
The air currents in the air seemed very viscous. The pressure they exerted was extremely huge.
"Who can help me up? Help me up!"
An unlucky fellow lay sprawled on the ground about one meter in front of Xiao Chen. He used his hands to support himself.
This person wanted to stand up again. However, after a long time, it was to no avail. He could not help but cry out for help.
The pressure on the first floor was not so strong that one could not resist it. However, if one let down their guard at the start and got pressed down, it would be extremely difficult.
If one wanted to stand up by themselves, it would be extremely difficult.
The surrounding cultivators were all climbing nervously. No one cared about him. Even if they heard him, they pretended not to hear him.
They were all competitors here. It was hard to guarantee that if they helped him today, he would not try to bully them in the future.
Xiao Chen shook his head. It was not easy to enter this Ancient Desolate Tower. It would be a pity to give up just like that.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen stomped heavily on the ground, and a huge force bounced off the ground. Using this force, Xiao Chen slowly flew up.
The cultivator on the ground also bent his back due to the force of Xiao Chen's stomp. He looked at Xiao Chen, who was in the air, and quickly thanked him.
"Hu!
Hu! "Xiao Chen's body broke through the solid air pressure and slowly rose. At first, he was rather slow. Eventually, he got used to the air pressure.
