Defeating an opponent in one move was not a true demonstration of a cultivator's actual strength, so it did not attract the attention of other cultivators.
A cultivator in the advanced stage of Holy God could defeat a cultivator in the intermediate stage of Holy God in one move.
However, in the following twenty matches, Xiao Lingyu not only won all his matches, but he also came out unscathed. None of his opponents could withstand more than three moves from him.
However, the strongest of his twenty opponents had not even reached the advanced stage of Holy God, so this level of competition was not too difficult. Therefore, he did not receive much reward, only less than two hundred thousand Divine Psychic Stones.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu had already won twenty matches in a row. In the future matches, as long as he could maintain a winning streak, his reward would be doubled for every additional match he won.
Xiao Lingyu's sudden appearance and his impressive results attracted the attention of many cultivators who liked to gamble. They quietly placed their bets on him and gradually became Xiao Lingyu's staunch supporters.
The first twenty matches did not take much time, but it took almost a year to wait for him to appear.
"According to past practice, after winning twenty matches in a row, you will encounter a stronger opponent. Senior Xiao, you must be careful," Zhang Fang reminded him.
"Many cultivators are trying to stop their winning streaks at twenty matches. I think the people in charge of the underground arena are doing this on purpose. They purposely arranged for a stronger cultivator to stop everyone from winning twenty-one matches in a row." He Tai nodded in agreement.
"Haha, as long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter what they do. Didn't Chen Xiao win one hundred and thirty-six matches in a row?" Xiao Lingyu smiled confidently.
Just as Zhang Fang and He Tai had said, Xiao Lingyu's opponent in his twenty-first match was a cultivator in the advanced stage of Holy God. Moreover, this opponent had won fifty-nine matches in a row.
This match was very important to both Xiao Lingyu and his opponent. If Xiao Lingyu won, he would receive double the reward. If his opponent won, he would win sixty matches in a row, and the reward would be quintupled.
However, to become Xiao Lingyu's opponent, no matter how brilliant he was in the past, he was destined to dim.
Xiao Lingyu's opponent was rather tactful. When he realized that he couldn't outrun Xiao Lingyu and that Xiao Lingyu had used her bare hands to block his attack, he decisively chose to admit defeat.
Although it was disgraceful to admit defeat, and the next time they went on stage, it would be considered as their first match. The rewards would be much lower, but at least they were safe. There were many cultivators who braced themselves and fought until the end, but they were beaten to death in the arena by their opponents.
Normally, if a cultivator didn't feel the huge gap between them, they would never admit defeat.
The twenty-first battle, which was supposed to be extremely dangerous and difficult, ended in less than twenty breaths of time.
The next nineteen matches went smoothly as well. Xiao Lingyu won forty matches in a row as expected.
The forty matches took two and a half years. Xiao Lingyu signed up almost immediately after each match.
If it wasn't for the fact that there was only one arena and that the owner of the underground arena had to arrange opponents and time, Xiao Lingyu would probably only need two hours to finish the first forty matches.
The forty-first battle was the same as the twenty-first battle. It was a hurdle for him to continue winning. If he could overcome this hurdle, he would receive triple the reward.
Until now, Xiao Lingyu had accumulated more than six hundred thousand Ethereal Spirit Stones. Zhang Fang and He Tai had calculated that as long as Xiao Lingyu won sixty-five battles in a row, he would be able to accumulate three million Ethereal Spirit Stones.
Because of Xiao Lingyu's strength, most of the cultivators who liked to watch the matches and bet really took notice of him.
Many cultivators continuously bet on his victory. This caused the bookmakers to lose a lot of Divine Spirit Stones.
However, as everyone became more and more confident in Xiao Lingyu, the bets naturally increased, and so did the number of cultivators who bet on him.
As long as Xiao Lingyu lost a match, the bookmakers would be able to recoup their losses and make a lot of money. As a result, the bookmakers were unwilling to see Xiao Lingyu continue to win. In fact, the bets were set up by the underground arena's owners. They would arrange powerful opponents for Xiao Lingyu to prevent him from continuing to win.
Of course, the bookmakers would sometimes set up a big picture and let Xiao Lingyu continue to advance triumphantly. This would continue to increase the gamblers' confidence in him. They would even advertise him as an invincible existence to attract more cultivators to bet on him. Then, when the time was right, they would arrange for an extremely powerful opponent to defeat Xiao Lingyu. In this way, the bookmakers would recoup all their losses and make a huge profit.
The forty-first opponent was also a late-Saint God cultivator. However, he was a sword cultivator who specialized in offense.
Under normal circumstances, late-Saint God sword cultivators were comparable to peak late-Saint God experts even if they couldn't defeat Heaven Piercing experts.
In the previous matches, Xiao Lingyu had displayed a powerful defense. Moreover, he had mostly used his physical strength to defeat his opponent. In the cultivation world, this kind of opponent was most afraid of sword cultivators. This was because sword cultivators' attacks were too powerful. Seemingly powerful defenses would often be easily torn apart by the sword cultivator's sword or sword techniques.
This sword cultivator wielded a decent quality saint sword. As soon as he came up, his sword shone with cold light. Moreover, his sword force domain enveloped the entire area.
Xiao Lingyu did not act too carelessly. He immediately unleashed his Chaotic Domain and released his Chaotic Truefire for the first time.
The Chaotic Domain suppressed his opponent's Chaotic Domain, and the Chaotic Truefire that filled the Chaotic Domain prevented his opponent from attacking with his full strength. He had to focus on defense at all times.
Under such circumstances, even though his opponent was a sword cultivator, he did not cultivate the powerful Heaven Sword Art like Old Monster Dugu. He only lasted for less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea before admitting defeat without Xiao Lingyu using any other methods.
Forty-one consecutive victories!
Because it was relatively easy to win, and because the forty-one opponents were much weaker than Xiao Lingyu, it was not too difficult to fight. Therefore, even if his opponents did not admit defeat, Xiao Lingyu only knocked them off the arena. At most, he injured them, but he did not kill any of them.
Recently, Xiao Lingyu felt that his murderous intent was much stronger than before. He knew that something was wrong, so he deliberately suppressed it.
In this underground arena, there were many cultivators who could achieve twenty consecutive victories. However, there were not many who could achieve forty-one consecutive victories.
Xiao Lingyu had achieved forty-one consecutive victories without revealing much of his skills. This made the banker, who was also the owner of the underground arena, have reason to believe that Xiao Lingyu could continue to advance triumphantly. If they did it well, they could make a lot of money.
Therefore, the underground arena began to promote Xiao Lingyu and promote him. They even saw him as a top cultivator in the Holy God stage who could defeat Chen Xiao.
Xiao Lingyu also noticed that the number of cultivators watching his battles had increased recently. He did not have any other thoughts about it. He would leave once he finished his sixty-fifth battle.
Although fighting was also a kind of training for him, allowing him to strengthen his battle awareness and skills, but if his opponent was too weak, it wouldn't have the slightest effect on him. If his opponent was too strong, it would be unavoidable to fight to the death, but this kind of fight to the death was meaningless to him.
After that, everything went smoothly. With the intentional cooperation of the underground arena's owner, Xiao Lingyu achieved sixty consecutive victories.
His opponent for the sixty-first battle was one of the protagonists of the first battle he saw on the first day he entered the underground arena.
Meng Zhong, a cultivator at the peak of the late stage of the Holy God stage. His best record was thirty consecutive victories. He was a powerful character with great strength and defense.
Meng Zhong's strength was very strong. If the banker had not wanted to earn a large amount of Psychic Immortal Stones, his winning streak would have been more than thirty. Meng Zhong had always been brooding over this and always wanted to break his own record. However, everyone knew that he was very strong and very few cultivators were willing to challenge him.
There was a rule in the underground arena —
Under the condition of being undefeated, the cultivators couldn't refuse the challenges of their peers. All the opponents were arranged by the holder of the underground arena. As long as they registered, they would definitely be arranged as opponents. As for the cultivators who had been defeated, although they could continue to register, they wouldn't necessarily be arranged. In most cases, they could only rely on accepting the challenges of other cultivators or challenging others to obtain the opportunity to fight.
If they challenged a cultivator who had been defeated, the other party could refuse to accept the challenge. Therefore, in order to compete and obtain more Psychic Immortal Stones, cultivators who had been defeated would often challenge cultivators who had not been defeated. This was because the other party could not refuse. As long as the underground arena's owner agreed, the battle would proceed.
Meng Zhong registered to challenge Xiao Lingyu because of this. The underground arena's owner specially arranged for him to be in Xiao Lingyu's sixty-first battle.
Meng Zhong was strong in strength and defense. Cultivators who did not understand Xiao Lingyu thought that he was the same type as Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu did not display his speed in the previous battles. Therefore, no one knew how fast he was.
However, in this battle with Meng Zhong, everyone witnessed Xiao Lingyu's speed and endurance.
Meng Zhong's strength was very strong. Xiao Lingyu did not gain the slightest bit of advantage even after taking a palm strike from him.
Xiao Lingyu then used the Chaotic Domain and the Chaotic Flame. However, he was still unable to break through the earthy yellow layer of light that emerged from Meng Zhong's body. Furthermore, Meng Zhong had cultivated the Gravity Domain, which restricted Xiao Lingyu quite a bit.
After exchanging a few blows, Xiao Lingyu, who was also very experienced, began to suppress Meng Zhong with his speed. Meng Zhong's attacks were unable to hit him, and his attacks were always able to hit Meng Zhong's body.
Although Meng Zhong's layer of light defense was strong, it could not withstand Xiao Lingyu's continuous attacks. He had been trying to find Xiao Lingyu's weakness and also wanted to wait for Xiao Lingyu to exhaust his power. However, Meng Zhong had underestimated Xiao Lingyu. The two of them continued to fight for four hours. Meng Zhong was the first to give up and was sent off the stage by Xiao Lingyu.
Sixty-one consecutive victories, which took a total of four years, had already set a new record. He was even stronger than Chen Xiao.
More importantly, no one knew that Xiao Lingyu's strength was only the tip of the iceberg.

Recently, many readers had complained that the updates were too slow. Xiao Fei was helpless about this. Although 6,000 words a day was not fast, it was at least passable. Furthermore, Xiao Fei would explode in the middle and end of the week.
Some readers also said that Xiao Fei's updates were late. However, other than the occasional third chapter, Xiao Fei's normal updates were before 22 pm. This was not considered late for those who liked to read online novels, right? After all, many novels were updated in the wee hours of the morning.
There were also people who said that the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula was written randomly and that there should not be characters on the Investiture of the Gods. What Xiao Fei wanted to say was …
Xiao Lingyu came from Earth, and Earth also existed in the Cultivation World. Under such a setting, wouldn't it be natural for strong people from Earth and characters from Huaxia Mythology to appear?
Furthermore, in order to pave the way for the ancient strong people from Earth to appear, Xiao Fei had put a lot of ink into the chapters of the Cultivation World and the Immortal, Devil, and Demon Realms. How could it be written randomly? If Xiao Fei often mentioned the ancient strong people from Earth at the beginning but did not write anything at the end, wouldn't the readers' resentment be even deeper?
