"He admitted defeat without even fighting?"
"Isn't this too childish!!"
"Childish? Can't you see who he's facing? "
"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't even dare to talk to Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen, let alone fight him."
"If that's the case, this Meng Changkong is quite capable. He can actually talk to Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen for so long."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case. Look at how Meng Changkong revealed Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen's background the moment he came up. This … I'm afraid he was already prepared to admit defeat before he even stepped onto the stage!"
"Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen is too awesome. He can't even be killed by lightning. Body Refinement Realm … No, I should say that even a Half Innate Realm wouldn't be his match."
"I just don't know how terrifying Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen's strength would be if he were to go all out."
"His combat power is at the Lesser Innate Realm."
“.....。”
While the people below were discussing, Jiang Chen looked at Meng Changkong in surprise.
Before the Inner Sect Tournament, he and Meng Changkong did not have the slightest bit of interaction.
Moreover, although Meng Changkong looked like an outsider, Jiang Chen, who had eaten meat with Meng Changkong, knew that this person … was unfathomable.
However, since the other party admitted defeat, Jiang Chen would not force him to fight again.
Because after this round, he would be the champion of the tournament.
Champion of the tournament????
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen instantly came to a realization.
"I see, I see!"
Jiang Chen murmured, his eyes staring straight at Meng Changkong.
Meng Changkong, who was smiling, suddenly froze. This scene was seen by Jiang Chen.
Feeling Jiang Chen's gaze, Meng Changkong regained his indifferent expression.
"Since Meng Changkong has admitted defeat, then the champion of the Inner Sect Tournament is Jiang Chen."
"The remaining eight people will draw lots again to determine the order of the tournament."
The referee did not care about the riddles and directly announced the result.
As for why there were eight of them, it was because Shu Yang had already fainted and was taken away.
Jiang Chen took the opportunity to walk down the arena.
Not long after, the competition started again.
What surprised Jiang Chen was that the first match was actually Meng Changkong, and his opponent was actually Wang Wu.
"Don't you like to help others?"
"Then admit defeat now!"
Wang Wu held his broadsword and looked at Meng Changkong with disdain.
Admitting defeat without a fight, in Wang Wu's eyes, was an extremely shameful thing.
"I like to fulfill someone's wish, but that depends on who the other party is."
Meng Changkong couldn't help but laugh.
"You dare to fight me?"
Wang Wu looked at Meng Changkong unhappily.
"Then I'll fulfill your wish."
Meng Changkong's reply not only stunned Wang Wuyi, it also stunned the audience below.
"Does this count as fulfilling Wang Wu's wish?"
"Bah, it's Wang Wu who doesn't want to fight him."
"But Meng Changkong promised him."
"Not only did he promise Wang Wu, but he also promised Jiang Chen, but their endings are different."
"Fulfilling someone's wish, Meng Changkong???"
"I'm dying of laughter, but this nickname does fit."
“.....。”
Hearing the conversation between the two, the audience burst into laughter.
"Fulfilling my wish???"
When Wang Wu heard Meng Changkong's words, his entire face turned green.
"Three moves!"
Meng Changkong raised three fingers.
Wang Wu: "…"
"I'll defeat you in three moves."
Looking at the confused Wang Wu, Meng Changkong smiled faintly.
"Shameless boasting, you don't know what you're talking about."
Wang Wu was so angry that he laughed.
"Take note, one move."
Meng Changkong's body went straight in without any fancy moves.
Dang!!!
A leisurely bell rang, and Wang Wu was sent flying as if he was hit by a truck.
"Too weak."
Meng Changkong waved his sleeves lightly and looked at Wang Wu with disappointment.
"You …?"
Wang Wu, who had finally stabilized his body, looked at Meng Changkong in shock.
"F * ck, what's going on?"
"Did anyone see what happened just now?"
"It was too fast, I only saw the two of them collide, but I couldn't see anything else."
"He knocked Wang Wu back in one move, impressive, impressive, this Meng Changkong is a hidden big boss."
"Just one move, you guys are bragging too much!"
"That's right, you should know that Wang Wu fought with Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen not too long ago."
"Indeed, he fell into the devil's barrier. Although he's recovered now, he still needs some time to recuperate, and his strength will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Look, it's the second move. What the heck, he's directly knocked out of the arena."
"Wocha, so strong, Wang Wu didn't even have to use his five Soul Severing Blades, and was directly knocked out of the arena."
"Dark horse, Meng Changkong is definitely a dark horse."
"It's a pity that he didn't fight with Jiang Chen, otherwise it would have been very exciting."
“....。”
The people below didn't mind the commotion, but Jiang Chen had been watching the entire process.
'This Meng Changkong is even stronger than Shu Yang.'
With Eagle Eye, he could clearly see every detail of the two's fight, and because of this, Jiang Chen came to such a conclusion.
Wang Wu, who had been fighting continuously, fainted after seeing the arena.
Naturally, this match was won by Meng Changkong.
Next up on the arena were two women.
One was Xu Jiangnan dressed up as a heroine, and the other was the seductive Liu Sanniang.
Without looking, Jiang Chen knew that Xu Jiangnan would definitely win this match.
Within three feet and three inches, Xu Jiangnan's sword was even faster than Jiang Chen's extraordinary movements.
As for Liu Sanniang … the blade was secondary, the most important thing was that she was flirtatious.
If it was another man, it might not be so.
Unfortunately, it was Xu Jiangnan.
Indeed, it was as Jiang Chen had guessed.
In less than half an hour, Liu Sanniang's butterfly blade was defeated by Xu Jiangnan's fast sword.
"Isn't this too fast?!"
"Are you saying that Jiang Nan's sword is faster, or is the match faster?"
"Of course it's the match!"
"Of course. When experts fight, they fight for the smallest amount of time."
"Fast Sword Jiang Nan, this name is not for nothing."
"As expected of the only normal inner sect disciple this year. Jiang Nan is amazing."
“....”
After this match, Xu Jiangnan had gained quite a number of fans.
After all, she was the only normal inner sect disciple.
Just as this match ended, the next match between Zheng Long and Cheng Qigang began.
With just a glance, Jiang Chen knew that Cheng Qigang had won this match.
Although Zheng Long was good at horizontal training, he was too simple and was completely suppressed by Cheng Qigang.
Unless Zheng Long had the courage to go all out, there was almost no hope for him to win this match.
"It's over again?"
"Am I watching a fake match? Why is every match so fast?"
"Defeated time and time again, isn't this tenth ranked true disciple a little too weak?"
“.....。”
The two of them went all out in this match, so it was natural that the match ended quickly.
It could not be helped. After all, their strength had been completely exposed when they fought Jiang Chen.
Now, it was just a battle of experience and reaction time.
However, the spectators did not care about the situation. When they saw that Zheng Long had lost again, they started cheering.
This caused Zheng Long to be even more unable to raise his head. However, what could he do about it?
Previously, he had met Jiang Chen, who pretended to be weak. This time, he met his nemesis, Cheng Qigang.
"Cheng Qigang wins. Next match, Zhang Xiran against Ke Wenliang."
Hearing the referee's voice, Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed.
It was a pity that there was no one to be the banker. Otherwise, he could have won another large sum of money.
As expected, the result was as Jiang Chen had expected. Ke Wenliang won.
As such, the victorious Cheng Qigang, Ke Wenliang, Xu Jiangnan, and Meng Changkong came to the drawing of lots to decide the second to fifth place.
Zheng Long, Zhang Xiran, Liu Sanniang, and Wang Wu, who had lost again and again, also came to the drawing of lots. However, they were to decide the sixth to ninth place.
In order to save time, the match was split into two sides.
Because Jiang Chen was more interested in Meng Changkong, he came to the finals of the top five.
Soon, the lots were drawn.
Meng Changkong against Cheng Qigang. Xu Jiangnan against Ke Wenliang.
"Meng Changkong against Cheng Qigang. Begin."
With the referee's announcement, the match began immediately.
"Three moves. If you can take three of my moves, I'll admit defeat."
These words were not said by Meng Changkong, but by Cheng Qigang.
"Wow, this Cheng Qigang is getting fiercer and fiercer."
"He's so domineering!!!"
"I thought Meng Changkong was a dark horse. I didn't expect Cheng Qigang to be so fierce."
"A battle between two heroes. There's going to be a good show."
"That's right. Through this match, we'll be able to see Meng Changkong's true strength."
“.....。”
Different from other people's wild guesses, Jiang Chen saw through Cheng Qigang's intentions at a glance.
"After two battles, it seems like Cheng Qigang has been seriously exhausted."
Jiang Chen immediately understood. Rather than saying that Cheng Qigang was arrogant, it was better to say that he was thoughtful.
Actually, Jiang Chen was wrong about one thing. It was not two battles, but one battle with him that had almost exhausted Cheng Qigang's mental strength.
"Oh, I'll do as you say."
"Please!"
Meng Changkong smiled slightly, but made an inviting gesture.
"Haha, the show is about to begin. Look, they're about to fight."
"Come, come. Let's guess if Cheng Qigang can defeat Meng Changkong in three moves."
"Hehe, Meng Changkong defeated Wang Wu in two moves. Wang Wu is ranked ninth among the true disciples."
"So what if he's ninth? Cheng Qigang just defeated the tenth place Zheng Long."
"Uh, it's over."
"F * ck, we were arguing so fiercely, and it's over just like that???"
"This Cheng Qigang's name is so strong, but his strength is too weak!"
"Three seconds, not even three seconds. Is he still a man?"
"Cheng Qigang, you might as well be called One Second Cheng."
"He caused us to argue for so long. It's really disappointing."
“.....。”
Amidst the cursing, Cheng Qigang was defeated.
"He defeated Cheng Qigang in an instant."
"Although Cheng Qigang doesn't have enough inner strength now, the moment Meng Changkong made his move, even I, who was below the stage, felt a lingering fear."
"This strength!!!"
"What kind of cultivation method is Meng Changkong cultivating? I can't even see the slightest bit of weakness."
"Isn't this a little scary?!!!"
Jiang Chen, who saw Meng Changkong in action for the second time, frowned.
Just as Jiang Chen was recalling the scene of Meng Changkong's attack, Xu Jiangnan and Ke Wenliang's match began.
"Jiang Nan, do your best. You're the last dignity of this batch of inner sect disciples. You must hold on."
"Ke Wenliang, if you're a man, admit defeat. Otherwise, we, the Southern Guards, will not let you go."
"That's right, we're Jiang Nan's guards. If you dare to hurt him, you'll become an enemy of all inner sect disciples."
“....。”
As the last inner sect disciple, Xu Jiangnan became the hope of all the inner sect disciples.
After these two competitions, her popularity also rose. There were even many boys who spontaneously joined her South Team.
"Jiang Nan, victory!"
"Jiang Nan, victory!"
“....。”
It couldn't be helped. This was the inner sect disciple's grand competition.
It was one thing to be disrupted by the veteran inner sect disciples, but even the true disciples didn't care about their reputation.
This anger had long been suppressed by all the inner sect disciples. Unfortunately, they didn't dare to speak out.
Now that they saw the only inner sect disciple, Xu Jiangnan, they couldn't control their emotions.
Fortunately, Xu Jiangnan didn't disappoint the inner sect disciples. With a swift sword within three feet and three inches, he finally defeated Ke Wenliang.
"The sword is fast, but the heart is faster."
"It seems that cultivating this sword technique requires one to be completely focused."
"No wonder he has such exquisite features but always keeps a straight face. He's somewhat similar to Ximen Chuixue."
Jiang Chen watched the match between the two.
"Xu Jiangnan wins. Now, let's welcome Meng Changkong."
"The competition for second and third place is about to begin."
As Meng Changkong stepped onto the arena again, Jiang Chen's gaze focused again.
"Give him forty-five minutes to recover."
Meng Changkong, who was wearing a Taoist robe, sat down cross-legged.
"Thank you!!!"
Xu Jiangnan didn't stand on ceremony. He also sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breath.
"Wocha, he's so calm. Does he think he's won?"
"It's not that he thinks he's won."
"As the Southern Guard, although I want to protect Jiangnan, this Meng Changkong is too strong."
"That's right. I even think that if he went all out against Jiang Chen, the result would still be uncertain."
“.....”
Just when everyone was silent, someone asked curiously, "Where did this Meng Changkong come from?
"Where do you think this Meng Changkong came from? Did you guys know this person before the Large Competition?"
"I don't know him. Do you?"
"I don't know him either!"
"No way. You've done missions in the Law Enforcement Hall's filing room. Even you haven't seen Meng Changkong's name?"
"This … Hello? Do any of you know Meng Changkong? "
No one knew who it was, but someone shouted at the top of his lungs.
Unfortunately, after shouting for a long time, no one walked out.
"Do you guys think this Meng Changkong could be a spy from another sect?"
"It's possible. After all, how can his martial arts be untraceable?"
"Then what should we do? Should we expose him?"
"What are we waiting for? Jiangnan can't lose. He's our last dignity."
“....。”
The inner sect disciples, who didn't mind blowing things up, all started to jeer.
"All of you, quiet down. The competition is still going on."
"Meng Changkong is a disciple of our Tiangang school. His roots are more authentic than all of you here. You don't have to doubt this."
At this time, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
Everyone looked at each other. Suddenly, there was complete silence.
"Root Miao Zheng Hong!!"
"He's really someone nurtured by the sect."
Jiang Chen was more and more certain of his thoughts.
