(First update. Today, Dark Mountain will still fight! I can't guarantee that it will be done before midnight, but no matter how late it is, it will be done! I beg my brothers and sisters to fight with Dark Mountain and vote for Dark Mountain! I beg for votes!!!!!!)
Dawn broke.
A new day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Chen Hao wore white clothes and had a refreshed expression. As he bathed under the morning sunlight, his handsome and extraordinary face flickered with a faint sheen. His composed and unhurried footsteps and his calm and concentrated aura seemed to be no different from yesterday, yet the feeling he gave others was no longer the same.
His powerful battle strength unknowingly gave him a halo in the eyes of the people. This was power, this was power, this was the so-called aura.
… …
Under the escort of Yunfeiyan and the others, Chen Hao once again stepped into the dazzling and majestic Imperial Palace.
A new day, a new beginning, a new battle.
This was the path of the strong, and also a path of killing.
Filled with thorns and mud. At every moment, one would face the danger of life and death. Perhaps they would become the stepping stone of others, or they would kill their way out and stand out. Like the sun, slowly rising from the east, emitting a bright light.
What this world lacked the most was geniuses. What it lacked the least was also geniuses. Only those who could withstand the cruel test of life and death battles could be called true geniuses.
In the short span of a day, how many of the youths who could be considered top geniuses in the various provinces and kingdoms had fallen in this cruel competition?
Under the gaze of countless people, Chen Hao's expression did not change in the slightest. But the aura around him became even more condensed and sharp. Like an unsheathed sword, he cut through the thorns and thistles. If gods blocked him, he would kill gods. If demons blocked him, he would kill demons. No one could stop his advance.
… …
When the time was up, the competition began.
The seventh round, the eighth round, the ninth round … …
The speed of progress was so fast that it completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Especially Ni Jianping, Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, Tantai Lian, Yi Minghao, and Chen Hao. After three consecutive rounds, none of them had the chance to make a move.
In the seventh round, Dongfang Jun encountered the damned eunuch Yin Fenghan. Even though he knew that he was no match for Yin Fenghan, Dongfang Jun, who possessed the protection of his treasured clothing and the powerful spirit sword gifted to him by Dongfang Ting, did not fear Yin Fenghan in the slightest. Furthermore, with his cultivation of rank seven Martial Emperor, he displayed battle power that greatly surpassed his cultivation. Although he lost in the end, he came out unscathed. Not only that, this guy also used his sharp tongue to make Yin Fenghan, who won the competition, almost vomit blood. One had to know that Yin Fenghan had entered the scene with the intention of killing Dongfang Jun, but in the end, he didn't accomplish anything. Instead, he was given the nickname of 'Dead Eunuch Yin'. Not to mention his face, even his butt was lost.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, but in the eighth and ninth rounds, Dongfang Jun was able to win by a hair's breadth against two weaker opponents. In the entire group five, his points were only second to the beautiful Tantai Lian and Yin Fenghan, placing him third.
Dongfang Jian, on the other hand, had won one match and admitted defeat in two of the three rounds of competition.
… …
Only in the tenth round did Yi Minghao's opponent not admit defeat, allowing him to win a battle first.
His opponent was the First Seat of the Martial Hall of the Empire's New Show Hall, Wei Chenbai. Peak Rank Nine Martial Emperor. He already had a trace of the aura of 'Return to the Origin'. He was only half a step away from becoming a Martial Ancestor. In the crowd's predictions, he was the one with the most hope of entering the top ten. In the fourth group, other than Yi Minghao, he was the strongest.
Without a doubt, this battle was the one that everyone looked forward to the most after the start of the competition. Because up until now, Yi Minghao had not revealed his true strength.
However, what disappointed Chen Hao and Tantai Lian was that even though Wei Chenbai had the strength of a half-step Martial Ancestor, he was still unable to force Yi Minghao to use his trump card. In a short three minutes, he admitted defeat and ended the battle.
Everyone could not help but admit that Yi Minghao was indeed a rare super genius.
… …
The ten rounds of competition that were originally scheduled to take place today ended just after noon. The judges announced that the competition would continue.
When it came to the twentieth round, Ni Jianping finally met Chen Hao. Originally, he was used to not moving when his name was called. This was because his opponents would usually admit defeat before entering the arena. There was no need for him to be like a clown, jumping into the arena and back again. However, this time, when the judge called his and Chen Hao's names, Ni Jianping jumped into the arena without any hesitation. Chen Hao had said yesterday that the word 'admit defeat' did not exist in his dictionary.
At the same time, Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, Tantai Lian, Yi Minghao, and the others immediately became alert.
However, when everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Hao, Chen Hao did not move from his seat. His expression was calm and he did not feel embarrassed at all. He said calmly, "I admit defeat."
Huala … …
Boos and discussions immediately erupted in the Martial Arts Practice Field.
"What the f * ck? Why did he admit defeat? Didn't he say yesterday that the word 'admit defeat' did not exist in his dictionary? "
"He actually admitted defeat … … How disappointing!"
"I'm still the wise one. I already guessed that he would admit defeat. How could he be Senior Brother Ni's opponent? With his scheming, it would be strange if he didn't admit defeat. Anyway, he'll definitely be able to advance from the group. If he fights now, what if he's killed by Senior Brother Ni? "
"Indeed. If I were him, I'd choose to admit defeat too … … "
… …
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Yang Fan squinted his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He looked at Li Yifeng and said, "He really doesn't have any shortcomings … …"
"This kind of opponent is the most terrifying … Yang Fan, I'm sure that when this kind of person really grows up, he'll definitely be terrifying … …"
"Yes. This kind of person would be able to remain calm no matter what happened. He would never act on impulse and would never do meaningless things. It's really scary … … "
"He's the same as you. Damn it, my only shortcoming is that I'm too handsome. I can't help myself when it comes to beautiful women. Sigh … … I know this, but why am I willing to endure it? " The handsome Li Yifeng stroked his elegant long hair. His expression carried a hint of sadness as he said narcissistically.
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and leaned lazily on his seat.
… …
"Humph!"
Ni Jianping, who was full of battle intent, had a cold expression on his face. His eyes were filled with disappointment and disdain. He glanced at Chen Hao and let out a cold harrumph, before flying back to his seat.
"A person who doesn't have the heart to forge ahead will have limited achievements. I've overestimated him … … "Ni Jianping quickly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and restored the aura that was as heavy as a mountain. He directly beat Chen Hao down from the same height.
… …
For the whole day, all the matches were not painful or itchy. It was impossible to set off the climax and excitement of yesterday. It had to be said that it was very dull. But everyone knew that this dullness was like the calm before the storm.
Before the sky turned dark, the group matches were completed in advance. It was similar to everyone's expectations. There was only a little difference.
In the first group, Chen Hao obtained first place with an absolute advantage in points. Ni Jianping, the tragic brother, didn't even fight once and was placed second.
In the second group, Yang Fan and the first seat of the Blue Sky Kingdom, Wen Baiming.
In the third group, Li Yifeng and the first seat of the Qilin Hall, Nanmen Yi.
In the fourth group, Yi Minghao and the first seat of the Black Tortoise Hall, Wei Chenbai.
In the fifth group, Tantai Xuan and Yin Fenghan.
Only in the fifth group, the two people who qualified slightly exceeded everyone's expectations. The damned eunuch Yin Fenghan probably suffered too much humiliation from Dongfang Jun and had nowhere to vent his anger. He actually erupted and defeated a strong opponent to obtain second place in the group. He qualified together with the first place Tantai Lian.
… …
After the referee announced the top ten list, the vice leader of the arbitration team, Mu Qing, floated down from the rostrum onto the stage.
"The first stage of the rookie ranking competition has ended. Apart from the top ten contestants, every contestant present will receive a great reward from the Xuanwu Empire and a title from the Xuanwu Empire's King according to your points and potential. Tomorrow, the top ten round-robin competition will officially begin! Due to the importance of the top ten competition, this year's top ten contestants … are rather special. The arbitration team has decided that in this year's top ten competition, the arbitration team will directly determine the names of the two contestants. Moreover, each contestant will only fight once every day. Alright, that's all for today, go back and prepare … "
Mu Qing had just finished speaking when the battle stage erupted into heated discussions. What did this year's top ten contestants are rather special mean? According to convention, the top ten competition would still draw lots to determine their opponents. But now, the arbitration team had adjusted it to directly determine the names of the two contestants. This was something that had never happened in the previous top ten competitions. Everyone was puzzled.
But no one thought too much about it. After all, the top ten competition was still a round-robin competition and everyone had to fight.
… …
A day passed and Chen Hao also experienced the loneliness of an expert. Today, he didn't fight even once. The only time he had a chance to fight, he chose to admit defeat.
"Master …"
After returning to the courtyard, everyone instructed Chen Hao to return to his room to recuperate and maintain his peak condition. Chen Hao had already stepped into his room, but he suddenly stopped and shouted at Fang Yuan.
"Hmm?" Fang Yuan looked at Chen Hao in surprise and asked with concern with a smile on his old face: "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask master for guidance."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Intent is rare, and intent experts are even rarer. Until now, I have no experience fighting an intent expert. That Tan Tai Xuan … I am not very confident. "Chen Hao said frankly.
"Let me do it!"
Huang Qi suddenly volunteered.
Chen Hao was slightly stunned.
"Hmm, Huang Qi should be more suitable than master …"
What made Chen Hao even more shocked was that Fang Yuan actually said this without hesitation.
"This …"
"What? Looking down on Old Man? Kid … don't think I am a rookie. Let's go! "Huang Qi took a step and mysteriously disappeared in front of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao stared with wide opened eyes in shock. When did this gatekeeper uncle who had a good relationship with him become so powerful? Wasn't he just a peak rank nine intent emperor?
Peak rank nine intent emperor was indeed the same cultivation level as Tan Tai Lian, but this old man was already so old, how old was Tan Tai Xuan? How could such talent and battle strength be compared?
Chen Hao had already guessed that Huang Qi was not simple, but as his cultivation level rose, the originally incomparably powerful Huang Qi was no longer as strong as before. But at this moment, Huang Qi's simple step made Chen Hao realize with shock that this was not something a peak rank nine intent emperor could do.
