There was neither silence nor scenery. There was no sound, no scene reflected in his eyes. All that was left was the pure light that drifted about.
With a cracking sound, a resonant dragon roar rang out from within the light. The endless autumn wind blew gently, sweeping away the specks of light one by one.
The autumn wind rose and fell. In midair, Bai Qi held his saber with one hand, drifting with the undulating autumn wind. Everyone looked up and saw Yue Chenxi lying weakly on the ground, her complexion completely pale.
The morning sun behind her had already dimmed to the point where it did not give off any light at all. Only a pale glow remained, like a flickering spark that would be extinguished by the wind at any moment.
A long crack appeared on the ground, splitting the Wind Cloud Platform in half. As the electric light flashed, the Wind Cloud Platform slowly healed.
Bai Qi sheathed his saber, and the autumn wind in the arena spun around and returned to his saber.
Bai Qi landed on the ground, and blood appeared at the corner of his lips. However, he was in a much better state than Yue Chenxi.
It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker, who was the victor and who was the loser.
Bai Qi's golden dragon roared ferociously and swallowed up Yue Chenxi's twenty-three-meter-long golden dragon. After that, the golden dragon grew to twenty-three meters long, catching up to Sima Lingxuan.
Yue Chenxi, who was on the ground, tried to stand up weakly. Bai Qi knew his condition, so he sent out a cool breeze and gently helped Yue Chenxi up.
Yue Chenxi said softly, "Many thanks."
Bai Qi looked deeply at this girl who had caught three of his saber strikes. A trace of respect flashed in the depths of his eyes. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "I have to thank you as well. You showed me some of the inadequacies of the Four Season Saber Technique. I hope that we can have a chance to exchange pointers in the future."
"Gladly!"
The earth-shattering and intense battle just now had turned into gusts of cool breeze amidst the conversation between the two of them, and the tense atmosphere was gone with the wind.
Our generation of martial artists should be like this, winning fair and aboveboard, losing convincingly, being able to pick up and let go, being open-minded.
The elders of the Haotian Sect nodded and smiled. With Yue Chenxi's strength, it was certain that he would be in the top five. This was the best result the Haotian Sect had ever achieved.
When the two of them walked off the dueling platform, the experts of their sects, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly received them. They used Spirit Pills and profound cultivations to heal the two of them, recovering their combat prowess.
In this round, Xiao Chen's opponent was a personal disciple of one of the ten great sects, Dongfang Yubai. The two of them had never fought before.
In the face of Xiao Chen, who was extremely popular and had unfathomable strength … Dongfang Yubai held onto a sliver of hope. He believed that he still had some trump cards hidden, so he did not choose to admit defeat immediately.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush. He exchanged a few moves with this person. After his opponent used up all his trump cards, there was no longer any Martial Technique that could pique his interest.
So, Xiao Chen lost his patience and used his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent. Then, he used the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique to defeat his opponent in three strikes. The absolute strength caused Dongfang Yubai's heart to turn to ashes.
After defeating Dongfang Yubai, Xiao Chen's golden dragon grew significantly. It reached twenty-six meters, only one meter away from twenty-seven meters. However, there was still some distance between him and Bai Qi.
This was due to Xiao Chen's insufficient accumulations. After all, he had not participated in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition and obtained more Luck.
However, Xiao Chen did not think too much about it. As long as he stood at the peak, his Luck would naturally surpass everyone else's.
"Next match: Sima Lingxuan against Wang Quan."
After twenty moves, Wang Quan, who had used his cloning technique, could no longer hold on. Sima Lingxuan did not even use his Quintessence.
Wang Quan only used his state of kingship and the Son of Heaven's Sword Technique, together with his sixty-percent-comprehended sword intent, to the point where Wang Quan could not retaliate. After losing to Xiao Chen, Wang Quan lost to Sima Lingxuan. This time, it was difficult for Wang Quan to even get into the top three.
When the ninety-fourth round of matches came to an end, another match between giants arrived: Xuanyuan Zhantian against Chu Chaoyun. For the sake of preserving their strength in the elimination round, the two had chosen to fight in a tacit manner. After one move, they ended in a draw.
Draws were not allowed in the ranking matches. A victor had to be decided. Furthermore, at this moment, the two had not lost a single match. At this crucial moment, neither could afford to lose. If they lost, they would lose the chance to reach the top. They had to do their best.
"Xuanyuan Zhantian comprehended the higher-ranked state of kingship from the state of the sea. Chu Chaoyun should have some trump cards that he has not revealed yet."
"The battle between these two should be about the same. It will be much more exciting than the battle between Sima Lingxuan and Wang Quan."
"Their chances of victory are about the same. However, I still favor Xuanyuan Zhantian. After all, he was the only one who dared to compete with Sima Lingxuan back then."
Clearly, the attention this battle received was much greater than that of Sima Lingxuan and Wang Quan's battle. Xiao Chen could tell this from the discussions in the surroundings.
Xiao Chen paid special attention to this battle as well. He had always feared Chu Chaoyun, finding him unfathomable.
From the start of the battle until now, Chu Chaoyun had not revealed many of his trump cards. Now that Chu Chaoyun was facing Xuanyuan Zhantian, he could see how strong Xuanyuan Zhantian was.
When Xuanyuan Zhantian faced Chu Chaoyun, he showed a grave expression. He casually swung his Heavenly War Halberd, and a vast sea spread out from behind him.
Xuanyuan Zhantian brought out the vast state of water to its limits. Instantly, waves surged up and down. As Xuanyuan Zhantian stood on that vast sea, he held up his Heavenly War Halberd and looked around arrogantly.
"Rise!"
Xuanyuan Zhantian shouted, and a huge wave soared up from the sea. He held the Heavenly War Halberd with both hands and hacked down.
"Boom!"
A pillar of light descended from the sky and encased Chu Chaoyun. Within the golden light, Chu Chaoyun's aura was boundlessly holy. Every inch of his clothes and every strand of his hair gave off a faint golden glow.
"Xiu!" A resonant sound rang out as Chu Chaoyun drew his sword. A sword intent spread out as he swung his sword in the wind, giving off a bright light.
Before the Heavenly War Halberd could reach Chu Chaoyun, the golden sword easily blocked Xuanyuan Zhantian's vast halberd strike.
"Berserk Dragon Burst!"
After his first move failed, Xuanyuan Zhantian quickly switched to another move. The waves under his feet spun wildly, forming a huge whirlpool. He turned into a flood dragon and hid himself.
The waves rolled, and the gales didn't stop. The powerful concept of water lingered and pervaded the entire arena, causing everyone to feel as if they were really in a vast ocean, and for no reason, a feeling of insignificance arose in their hearts.
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and looked at the incoming Berserk Dragon Burst. Instead of advancing, he retreated. A bright light flickered in his deep eyes as he looked at the whirlpool of the water dragon. It was like everything before his eyes was just an illusion.
"Heaven Destroying Sword!"
The light that drifted down from the sword suddenly condensed into a line, turning into a dense sword light that shot forward. With the support of the Sword Will, the golden light even tore thin cracks in the void.
"En!"
A muffled groan came from the Water Dragon Burst. Xuanyuan Zhantian, who was hidden within, brandished his Heavenly War Halberd and quickly retreated. When the berserk Water Dragon Burst was within two centimeters of Chu Chaoyun, it shattered into droplets of rain and fell from the sky.
They shattered and turned into droplets of rain falling from the sky. When they landed on the Wind Cloud Platform, the droplets of rain exploded.
The energy contained in the droplets of rain blasted out a horrifying shock wave, blowing out a boundless shockwave. Just a drop of rain had such power; it was very shocking.
As the golden light spread out, before the strong raindrops could get close to Chu Chaoyun, they turned into hazy steam. Chu Chaoyun focused his gaze and seized the initiative. He did not hesitate to rush forward and launch a sharp counterattack. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! Dang! "
The sea churned and the waves roared. Light filled the place. Amid the horrifying waves, the two quickly exchanged moves. In an instant, they each exchanged more than a hundred moves.
Chu Chaoyun was the kind of person who would find it hard to turn the situation around once he grasped hold of an opportunity. The longer the fight dragged on, the more opportunities he would have at the very beginning.
Along the way, several of Chu Chaoyun's opponents had been forced into a corner by Chu Chaoyun. Before they could execute their best moves, they had already been defeated.
Taking advantage of the opening in Xuanyuan Zhantian's Berserk Dragon Burst, Chu Chaoyun launched his counterattack. Since then, he had been at the upper hand. He launched a chain of attacks accompanied by flickering golden light, not stopping at a single one.
"I can't drag this out!"
Xuanyuan Zhantian felt wary. The situation had not reached a point where it could not be salvaged yet. However, if this continued, the rhythm of the battle would fall into Chu Chaoyun's control.
At that time, even if Xuanyuan Zhantian did not want to lose, he would be defeated. He might end up like the others, not even having the chance to execute his best moves.
I am the Yellow Sky's Son, the king of the four seas. The might of a king, sweeping through everything before me!
Xuanyuan Zhantian roared in his heart and finally brought out his state of kingship. In that instant, eighty-one pillars of waves shot up into the sky from the vast sea behind him.
The entire sea surged up, and the vast state of kingship surged out. This caused Xuanyuan Zhantian's aura to change. The Heavenly War Halberd swept out like a roaring flood dragon.
Shock flashed in Chu Chaoyun's eyes. He immediately sent out a screen of golden swords before retreating. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The rage of a king, splattering the mountains and rivers with blood. The screen of swords that Chu Chaoyun sent out did not have any effect. The Heavenly War Halberd tore through the screen of swords without any fear and struck the sword in front of Chu Chaoyun's chest.
The Qi and blood in Chu Chaoyun's body trembled endlessly as he retreated. When he landed, he left two three-centimeter-deep footprints in the ground.
"I did not expect his state of kingship to have already reached such a level. He does not even need a moment to change it."
Chu Chaoyun adjusted his breathing for a while and thought to himself, If I make a mistake, the situation will be gone.
After Xuanyuan Zhantian brought out the state of kingship, his strength instantly increased. His aura reached an oppressive level as he looked coldly at Chu Chaoyun.
Xuanyuan Zhantian roared ferociously, "Receive my move! Point to the Heavens, Trample on the Earth!"
The four seas surged as Xuanyuan Zhantian pointed his Heavenly War Halberd at the sky. A berserk energy surged out. A formless energy shot out from the tip of the halberd and tore a small hole in the Wind Cloud Barrier.
Even Inferior Grade Martial Monarchs could not break the Wind Cloud Barrier. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Zhantian broke it with one point of his halberd. The expressions of the several Martial Monarchs in the City Lord's Residence changed.
