The first round of the competition continued. On the first day, every participant had to fight twenty matches.
Aside from strength, such high-intensity matches were a test of the participants' ability to withstand pressure.
After Yun Kexin finished a match, she walked back and looked at Xiao Chen. She smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, how many matches have you fought? How are the results?"
Before Xiao Chen could reply, Liu Suifeng interrupted, "He he, he has won all five matches. Furthermore, he did not even draw his saber, just like Senior Sister Yun."
Yun Kexin smiled and said, "Mine was purely luck. Furthermore, it was not an easy victory. However, there are not many experts in our group. As long as I do not lose five matches, I will be able to qualify."
In the first round of elimination, the seeded participants did not appear. Hence, many of the groups did not have any peak experts. This was the case for Xiao Chen's group six and Yun Kexin's group three.
However, there were also some death groups. There were many veteran experts like Bai Zhan in those groups. There were also heaven-defying people like Xuanyuan Zhantian and Nangong Ziyue.
Being placed in such a group was a tragedy for ordinary participants. It was unfortunate that Murong Chong was placed in such a group.
Liu Suifeng said softly, "Murong Chong is back. He lost another match. Now, he has lost two matches."
After Murong Chong returned, he saw Xiao Chen and Yun Kexin. He could not help but smile bitterly, "I really want to switch groups with you two. The experts in my group are too monstrous."
Seeing Murong Chong being so casual, Xiao Chen knew that he had let go of his worries. He said, "Your strength is definitely not weak. In the eyes of others, you are very difficult to deal with. As long as you perform as you normally do, you will definitely be able to clear the first round."
Murong Chong said sullenly, "I understand. Let's work hard together and do our best to enter the ranking matches."
Yun Kexin nodded and said, "Definitely."
Mu Chen and the others also smiled and said, "I wish you all success. Bring glory to our Heavenly Saber Pavilion."
When the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's First Elder, Jiang Chi, saw this scene, he revealed a joyful smile and nodded slightly.
"Next battle, Kim Tae-ho versus Ling Feng." On the 15th group's arena, the old judge said in a low voice.
That can't be. This Fatso is also participating in the Five Nation Youth Competition? With his strength, he dares to come without any Secret Treasures?
Liu Suifeng laughed loudly and said, "This fellow, to think that he is not embarrassed to go on stage dressed like that."
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with suspicion as he looked over with interest. He was very interested in how strong Fatso was.
"I am the Evil Moon Pavilion's Ling Feng. Please enlighten me." Ling Feng cupped his hands and bowed.
Kim Tae-ho was dressed in jewellery and held a golden folding fan in his right hand. He smiled and said, "The Evil Moon Pavilion is a super large sect. Little Brother, how about letting this Fat Lord make a move or two first?"
"You're extraordinarily handsome and have a mighty aura. You're also a popular contender for the top ten. Furthermore, you're from a super large sect. You can just let this Fat Lord have a few moves, right?"
The disciples of a large sect were all prideful. When Ling Feng heard the other party's flattery, he felt somewhat smug.
However, Ling Feng maintained a serious expression. He smiled gently and said, "That's fine. I don't mind letting you make a move or two. Make your move!"
It was just two moves; it would be over very quickly. Ling Feng still had that much confidence.
Kim Tae-ho chuckled and gave Ling Feng a thumbs up. He said, "You are bold. A large sect is indeed a large sect. No wonder you dare to say that you will fight for the top ten. This Fat Lord is coming!"
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "Fatso's waist was fat and his legs were thick. Even if he did not weigh two hundred tons, he weighed at least one hundred seventy-eight tons. As he ran, his fat jiggled. The dueling ring did not seem to be able to withstand his weight.
Ling Feng found this very comical. He found it funny in his heart. How did such a person clear the first stage?
Amidst the comical footsteps, Kim Tae-ho arrived twenty meters before Ling Feng. Like he said, Ling Feng did not show any signs of making a move, allowing Fatso to approach.
When Ling Feng was ten meters away, Kim Tae-ho's speed suddenly increased by five or six times. He left a fat afterimage in the air, dazzling everyone.
Kim Tae-ho put away his folding fan and flipped his right palm. A golden coffin lid appeared in his hands from his Spatial Ring.
"Hehe! Eat this Fat Lord's coffin lid!"
Ling Feng felt a sense of danger for some reason. Just as he was about to draw his weapon, the world around him suddenly started spinning.
The laws of heaven and earth actually changed.
"Pa!"
There was a heavy sound as the coffin lid, which was unknown how heavy, smashed into the Evil Moon Pavilion elite disciple's body.
It was unknown how much force Kim Tae-ho used, but after this heavy strike, Ling Feng immediately fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
One second ago, the crowd was still staring at Kim Tae-ho's comical Movement Technique. One second later, the situation in the dueling ring reversed.
Kim Tae-ho put the coffin lid back into his Spatial Ring. Then, he opened his glittering folding fan with a 'xiu' sound.
When he started fanning himself, Kim Tae-ho shook his head and sighed, "You are just trash. To think that you dare to say that you will fight for the top ten. The youths these days are getting more and more arrogant. They do not know how to be humble at all."
The Evil Moon Pavilion's elders nearly vomited blood when they saw Xiao Chen's serious expression. Those words were clearly said by Fatso. However, when it came out of his mouth, it became the Evil Moon Pavilion disciple being arrogant and ignorant, so he taught him a lesson.
"Disciples of the Evil Moon Pavilion, if you meet this person again, don't say anything. Just cripple him or beat him to death," the Evil Moon Pavilion's inner sect First Elder said angrily.
"Kim Tae-ho wins. Two points." The referee of group 15 was somewhat speechless, but he still announced the results.
Kim Tae-ho put away his folding fan and chuckled. Then, he turned his head and waved to the crowd, "Thank you, everyone, for your support. This Fat Lord will continue fighting. I am the Young Master of the Golden Roc Merchant Association. If you want to do business in the future, you can come and look for me. I will give you a twenty percent discount. "
Before leaving, Kim Tae-ho did not forget to advertise his merchant association. It was as though everything was a matter of course.
"This Fatso's skin is extraordinarily thick."
"Too shameless. The Evil Moon Pavilion's people are probably crying."
The cultivators in the spectator stands all cursed and laughed. They felt that the Evil Moon Pavilion's people did not deserve this.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he could not help but laugh hoarsely. However, this was indeed Fatso's true colors. If he was not shameless, he would not be Kim Tae-ho.
After the matches of group 6 ended, the referee immediately said, "Next match: Xiao Chen versus Xie Ziwen."
Bai Zhan looked at the eager Xie Ziwen and said, "Remember what I said. Just move around and test his strength. After that, just take the initiative to admit defeat."
Xie Ziwen was extremely unconvinced. He gave a casual reply and eagerly flew towards the arena.
Xie Ziwen was a genius disciple of the Evil Moon Pavilion, second only to Bai Zhan. He was ranked forty-seventh in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. He was considered an expert in group 6.
As for Xiao Chen, he was the rising star of group 6. He had fought five matches in a row and won them all. Furthermore, they were all overwhelming victories.
In the eyes of the spectators, the match between the two was a battle between the strong. It attracted the attention of many people.
In the Wind Cloud Platform, Xie Ziwen looked at Xiao Chen with a sullen expression. He said in a cold voice, "Xiao Chen, remember what I said back then? Sooner or later, I will trample on you in front of everyone."
Xiao Chen took out the Lunar Shadow Saber from the Universe Ring and smiled. "I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you."
If Xiao Chen continued to use his fists and feet to deal with Xie Ziwen, he would waste a lot of time. So, he intended to end this match quickly. Hence, he no longer had any thoughts of hiding his strength.
"There is no point in saying so much. Make your move. You should feel honored that you have successfully forced me to take out the Lunar Shadow Saber."
Several cultivators in the spectator stands were astonished. In the earlier matches, Xiao Chen had only used his fists and feet to deal with his physical body.
The strong combat prowess that Xiao Chen displayed was already shocking enough. They did not expect that his fists and feet were only supplementary attacks. His true identity as a bladesman was his true identity.
"This Xiao Chen really hid his strength very deeply. Two points are deducted for each defeat in the arena. He is rather courageous."
"It looks like there will be a newcomer in group 6 as well."
"Ha ha! Let's wait until he defeats Xie Ziwen first. If he loses, he will not be that strong."
The cultivators paying attention to group 6 discussed in soft voices. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had hidden his strength. This made the crowd feel even more anticipation for this match.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was looking down on him, Xie Ziwen was so angry that he laughed instead. He said, "Good! Good! Good! Let's see if you dare to continue being arrogant later."
"Thousand Flaming Palms!"
Xie Ziwen shouted ferociously. All the fire-attributed Spiritual Energy in the vast Wind Cloud Platform instantly surged. Sparks leaped around the arena.
Xie Ziwen pushed his right palm forward, and the sparks instantly gathered, forming a huge palm with clear lines. It was like a mountain, carrying a boundless might as it pressed down on Xiao Chen.
With this move, no one had been able to receive more than ten moves from Xie Ziwen. This showed how strong this move was.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber, and a purple light flickered. The solid flaming palm instantly split in half before turning into countless sparks.
Xiao Chen easily broke the Thousand Flaming Palms with one saber strike; there was no difficulty at all.
"Damn it!"
Xie Ziwen's expression turned slightly unsightly. He had not expected Xiao Chen to break his move so easily. His figure flickered in the air without any pattern.
Instantly, many flaming palms filled the air, pressing down on Xiao Chen from all directions. At a glance, the vast Wind Cloud Platform was filled with flaming palms; the scene looked very majestic.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm as he moved through the flaming palms like he was taking a leisurely stroll. As he brandished his saber, it was like a heavenly steed soaring through the air; he attacked casually.
The saber moved with his heart, and the person moved with the saber. Like moving clouds and flowing water, he chopped those terrifying flaming palms into sparks.
The group six referee's pupils constricted slightly. He thought to himself, What a wondrous state! This fellow's Saber Techniques seem to have reached the level of Heaven's Perception.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Xie Ziwen, if this is all you are capable of, then don't come out and embarrass yourself."
"As you wish."
Xie Ziwen's expression sank. He had not expected the Martial Technique that he had worked so hard to comprehend to be insufficient in the eyes of Xiao Chen, forcing him to use his trump card in advance.
"Rage of Ten Thousand Flames!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the thousands of flames in the arena trembled intensely. It was like angry cultivators had developed emotions. When the trembling sounds rang out, it gave off the feeling of a fire god shouting.
Rage, berserk, dissatisfaction, and various other emotions spread out. Xie Ziwen had actually infused his own emotions into the state of fire.
