Of course, who was stronger and who was weaker would only be known after a real fight. One could say that the nouveau riche was ostentatious, but one could not look down on the nouveau riche's strength.
Naturally, the genius saber Lin Fei heard the discussions of the crowd. He revealed a disdainful smile and said, "All of you like to pretend. Wait until I trample all of you under my feet. Let's see what else you can say then."
In the following matches, Lin Fei seemed to be competing with Xiao Chen. He used only three moves to defeat his opponent in every match, no matter how strong his opponent was.
That elusive Earth Vein Saber Technique appeared in the dueling ring once again, one on the ground and one in the sky.
Lin Fei clearly only had the strength of one saber strike, but he sent out two strands of saber Qi. Furthermore, they came from tricky angles and were hard to defend against.
Lin Fei immediately became the focus of the dueling ring for group five. He was the most discussed person in the crowd. They were all astonished at the strength he displayed. Lin Fei's fame surpassed that of Xiao Chen, even suppressing Gong Yangyu.
"Ha ha! Interesting. Xiao Chen used four moves to defeat Ma Yuan. Then, Lin Fei ran into Ma Yuan. In the end, he only used three moves. This Ma Yuan is really unlucky."
"It looks like this Lin Fei is purposely trying to fight with Xiao Chen. He only used three moves against each opponent, just one less than Xiao Chen."
"He is a youngster, after all. This is what they fight for. One is the second rank of the newcomer ranking list, and the other is the ninth. He definitely does not want Xiao Chen to suppress him."
"I feel that he is too flashy. What is the point of fighting for this? We will know who is stronger after a match."
The crowd discussed. Most of them praised Lin Fei, but there were also a few who did not, feeling that he was too flashy. However, no matter what, most of them acknowledged Lin Fei's strength. They felt that he was fully deserving of the second rank of the newcomer ranking list.
Xiao Chen did not feel anything about this. He only cared about defeating the opponents before him. When he met an interesting opponent, he would feel excited. Not only would he not end the match quickly, but he would also slowly savor the opponent's moves, trying to figure out what was so special about them.
Only when Xiao Chen met an opponent with a huge gap in strength would he feel that it was a waste of time.
Following one's nature, following one's heart, the saber moved according to one's heart. The heart was like a heavenly steed soaring through the sky, and the saber was like a ghost's axe.
There were many heroes in the world. In the world that Xiao Chen came from, there was an ancient sage who once said, "When three people walk together, there is always someone to learn from." Even the weakest opponent would have some shining points that were worth learning.
The Five Nation Youth Competition was a rare opportunity to gather all the heroes of the world. This was a good opportunity to broaden one's horizons and improve oneself.
Victory was very important, but what was more important was the continuous improvement of one's own accumulation and the continuous expansion of one's horizons. When everything accumulated to a certain extent, it would explode with a bang, producing an extremely terrifying amount of energy.
Gong Yangyu, who had become famous long ago, did not watch many spectacular battles. He was not as ferocious as Lin Fei. However, he had not lost a single match. Furthermore, his strength was not bottomed out. In his eyes, he smiled slightly, not taking this matter to heart at all.
"Next match, Xiao Chen versus Gong Yangyu!"
The true battles between the experts of group five finally began at this moment. Some of the cultivators who had been paying attention to the other arenas all looked over. Their eyes were filled with impatience.
Although Xiao Chen's progress was startling, everyone was very curious about him. They wanted to know how strong Xiao Chen was and how far he could go in the end.
As for Gong Yangyu's strength, it went without saying. He was a veteran expert. Gong Yangyu became famous at a young age, and he fought steadily. In the previous Five Nation Youth Competition, he established his position.
He became a giant of the younger generation. His talent was astonishing, and he had the backing of a super sect. Such a person did not need many words to describe him.
Gong Yangyu was a giant of the younger generation, someone who could compete with Bai Qi, Liu Xiaoyun, and the eight Noble Scions.
"Group five's competition is finally going to welcome a match of sufficient importance. The rookie Xiao Chen against the giant Gong Yangyu."
"It is time for Xiao Chen's consecutive victories to come to an end. With the appearance of the seeded participants, the other rookies' consecutive victories also came to an end. At the hands of the giants, they lost their legend of invincibility. "
"That's right. Although the rookies are strong, the time given to them is too short. Compared to the veteran experts, they are only so-so."
Before the attention of the crowd, the two calmly walked into the arenas. Their expressions did not change much.
Lin Fei stared at the two of them. A flame burned in his eyes, clearly filled with a strong fighting spirit. He thought to himself, My two greatest opponents actually met early. This time, luck is on my side.
"I am Xiao Chen of the Great Qin Nation's Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Please give me some pointers."
"I am Gong Yangyu of the Great Jin Nation's Supreme Yi Sect. Please give me some pointers."
After Gong Yangyu performed a cupped-fist salute, he gently spun the wooden staff in his hand. He grasped the end of the staff and pointed it at Xiao Chen. He was not in a rush to attack.
Xiao Chen took two steps back and tilted his body slightly. He placed his right hand on the saber hilt and focused his gaze on the tip of his opponent's staff, forming a straight line with it. "Hu!
Hu! "
The two's auras clashed in the air, forming a chaotic wind blowing everywhere.
The cool breeze blew back Xiao Chen's hair, revealing his delicate face with a blue bandage tied around it. His expression was as calm as before, not showing any nervousness from the impending battle.
Since there were no openings in Xiao Chen's aura, he could only create openings.
In the first place, Gong Yangyu had not intended to find openings in Xiao Chen's aura. He raised his staff and took the initiative to attack. His feet instantly moved.
With one step, he brandished his staff and a strong wind blew. A clear afterimage of Gong Yangyu appeared on the ground.
With two steps, Gong Yangyu pointed his staff at Xiao Chen. Thunder roared in the wind and he left another afterimage on the ground.
With three steps, a strong wind blew and thunder roared. When Gong Yangyu swung his staff, wind and thunder roared. Gong Yangyu's afterimage leaped high into the air. He held his staff with one hand and smashed it down on Xiao Chen's head.
Gong Yangyu took three steps forward. With each step, he executed a move. With each step, his aura soared. By the final step, his aura had already reached its peak. The might of that staff contained the speed of a strong wind and the roar of thunder.
In just three short steps, his aura had already reached such a horrifying level. Furthermore, that was not all. The first two steps were not as simple as just an afterimage.
When Xiao Chen saw this clearly, he thought to himself, It is just a simple staff move, but it has many tricks up its sleeves.
Just as the staff was about to reach Xiao Chen's head, Xiao Chen moved. He drew his Lunar Shadow Saber by three centimeters and blocked this heavy staff strike with a 'bang.'
When the two extremely powerful forces collided, a powerful energy immediately burst forth. Circles of invisible ripples dispersed, and there seemed to be creases appearing in the space.
Shockwaves surged and strong winds howled. No one noticed that seven cool breezes appeared behind Xiao Chen, gently drifting into the distance.
"Creating something from nothing! Break!"
Gong Yangyu shouted and the two afterimages behind him merged back together. His originally exhausted staff strike now had two new forces hidden within it. Each wave was stronger than the one before, surging over like a tidal wave. Gong Yangyu shouted, and the two afterimages merged back together. Gong Yangyu's staff strike contained the power of wind and lightning. Each wave was stronger than the last, surging over like a tidal wave.
The referee in the Wind Cloud Platform nodded slightly. He thought to himself, It looks like Gong Yangyu's attainments in the Supreme Yi Sect's Everlasting Staff Technique have already surpassed some of the elders in the sect.
"Boom!"
The surging energy carried the power of wind and lightning. "Bang!" It shattered Xiao Chen, who was still standing, into pieces. When the wooden staff landed on the ground, it immediately created a crack that extended continuously. Strands of Dragon Qi spread out from the crack.
Dragon roars came from the Wind Cloud Platform. Winds blew, clouds churned, and the sky changed color.
The cultivators in the spectator stands all sucked in a breath of cold air. How strong was this staff strike for it to be able to create a crack in the Wind Cloud Platform? Even the Dragon Qi leaked out.
However, Gong Yangyu frowned tightly. He withdrew his staff and muttered, "Clone?"
The strong wind stopped and the dust scattered.
Gong Yangyu looked up and saw seven figures of Xiao Chen at the edge of the arena. He had only drawn his Lunar Shadow Saber by three centimeters, but now, he had drawn it all.
The referee in the arena opened his eyes wide. He thought to himself in astonishment, "When did he change moves? Unexpectedly, I did not notice it." "Roar!
Roar! "
Accompanied by dragon roars, the seven figures turned into cool breezes. Their weapons did not appear, and their killing intent was hidden. Seven cool breezes blew at Gong Yangyu, carrying traces of gentleness.
Cool breeze, cool breeze, only seeing the cool breeze and not the saber.
Gong Yangyu had a grave expression. The gentle breeze could not bring him any warmth at all.
The staff moved around like a flood dragon, dancing up and down, kicking up a boundless strong wind. Gong Yangyu took seven steps back. With each step, he left behind an afterimage. Thunder roared in the sky. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
Before the cultivators in the spectator stands could react, seven buzzing sounds came from the Wind Cloud Platform.
The sounds were ear-splitting, and the sound waves were like thunder. They passed through the Wind Cloud Barrier and reached the ears of the crowd. They felt their eardrums tremble and some pain.
Everyone was horrified, feeling fear in their hearts. If not for the Wind Cloud Barrier, everyone would have temporarily lost their hearing. How strong were these two monsters?
"Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations, merge!"
"Everlasting Hundred Transformations, merge!"
The two shouted at the same time. In that instant, Xiao Chen's clone and Gong Yangyu's afterimages merged.
This staff strike carried the peak state of wind and thunder. Using the power of the seven afterimages, it tore through space like a tall mountain chopping down ferociously.
Heavy momentum. What was heavy momentum? This staff strike was heavy momentum.
Strong winds howled and thunder roared. Wind and thunder roared together. The thunder used the might of the wind to materialize a boundless aura.
Heavy force. Every afterimage of the Everlasting Staff Technique was Gong Yangyu's peak attack. Now that the seven afterimages merged, Gong Yangyu's attack power increased by seven times.
A threefold increase in attack power could tear apart the Wind Cloud Platform and cause Dragon Qi to soar into the clouds. Winds blew, clouds churned, and the sky changed color.
In that case, what about a sevenfold increase in attack power?
Gong Yangyu was very strong. However, how could Xiao Chen be any weaker? The killing intent from earlier exploded out the instant the seven afterimages merged.
The sharp killing intent turned into a boundless sea of blood. The air in the Wind Cloud Platform seemed to solidify. Gong Yangyu's staff strike, which contained a boundless aura, slowed under the obstruction of this killing intent.
When the cultivators in the spectator stands saw the scarlet air in the Wind Cloud Platform far away, they all felt their hearts palpitate. It was easy to imagine what kind of pressure Gong Yangyu, who was locked down by the killing intent, was enduring.
