Two days later.
The competition for the top ten had been going on for three days. Every contestant had completed six matches. Among the groups with Divine Beasts' inheritances, other than the tenth seeded contestant, Chen Hao, who had yet to meet the Martial Sage, Kang Linghong, who had obtained the Azure Dragon's inheritance, the other four groups had all fought against the seeded contestants.
In the first group, Li You Ran, who had obtained the Black Tortoise's inheritance, met the first ranked Gao Jianfei. To everyone's surprise, they ended in a draw. In the fourth group, Ao Huaguang, who had obtained the Kylin's inheritance, defeated the seeded contestant, Yuan Hao. In the fifth group, Yu Qiyu, who had obtained the White Tiger's inheritance, defeated the seeded contestant, Ren Yujiang. In the seventh group, Chu Leqin, who had obtained the Vermilion Bird's inheritance, defeated the seeded contestant, Xuanyuan Hong.
Other than Li You Ran, Ao Huaguang, Yu Qiyu, and Chu Leqin had all advanced to the Martial Sage Realm …
So far, four Martial Sages had appeared in the Hundred Empire Ranking!
Furthermore, everyone knew that the fifth Martial Sage would be born very soon. That was Li You Ran. It was obvious that Li You Ran had not completed the first step of merging with the Black Tortoise. Otherwise, he would have advanced to the Martial Sage Realm like the other four!
As for Chen Hao and Tantai Lian, who had obtained the Phoenix's inheritance, no one could be sure. After all, compared to the five Divine Beasts, the Phoenix was of little value …
Tantai Lian, who had also obtained the Phoenix's inheritance, had already admitted defeat when she met Kang Linghong.
Today, the most anticipated match was between Chen Hao and Kang Linghong.
"In the tenth group, number four Kang Linghong and number eight Chen Hao, please enter the stage!"
Crash …
Following the referee's announcement, the highly anticipated match was finally about to begin. Instantly, everyone looked at Chen Hao. Yes, they were looking at Chen Hao.
Because no one could be sure whether Chen Hao would fight or not.
Whoosh!
Chen Hao did not give the crowd too much time to wait. When Kang Linghong flew into the arena, he turned into a ray of light and landed on the arena.
Leng Yihan, who had always been lazy, suddenly twitched his mouth.... A small dimple appeared on his face.
Dongfang Ting, Tantai Lian, and the rest were slightly nervous. Even Xuan Xuan was no exception.
Fan Fang was also a little nervous, but he wasn't nervous about the outcome of the battle between Chen Hao and Kang Linghong. Instead, he was worried that Chen Hao would die at the hands of Kang Linghong. That would be too easy for Chen Hao …
…
On the huge arena, Chen Hao's figure was as straight as a sword. Facing Kang Linghong, whose body was faintly flashing with seven-colored light, his face was calm, and no emotions could be seen at all. Only a pair of deep black eyes were shining faintly!
"I've finally encountered a battle that makes me somewhat excited … Chen Hao, come, I'll let you experience the power of a Martial Saint!"
When the referee announced the start of the match, Kang Linghong unhurriedly activated his seven-colored protective aura and said lightly. His expression was lazy and his tone was arrogant. It was obvious that he didn't see Chen Hao as an opponent. Especially when it was said out loud.
"Only the strength of a Martial Saint? I advise you to use the power of the Azure Dragon inheritance, or you'll die a miserable death … "
Chen Hao's expression was still calm. His clear, but even more arrogant voice was transmitted to everyone's ears.
At this moment, Chen Hao's aura suddenly soared. His body actually began to shine with a faint seven-colored light, circulating the five elements, and the aura of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, instantly spreading out!
Bang!
What shocked Leng Yihan, Dongfang Ting, Tantai Lian, and all those familiar with Chen Hao was that at this moment, Chen Hao actually made his move, brazenly charging at his opponent and attacking …
How could this be?
Didn't he know how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses?
"This guy … what is he doing?" Leng Yihan frowned. Even if Leng Yihan wanted to fight, he wouldn't dare to choose this method because of the difference in cultivation level and the difference in inherited divine beasts. Only by integrating with all things in the world and relying on the power of the wind attribute's true essence would Chen Hao have a better chance of winning. What was the difference between fighting head-on like this and seeking death?
"You're not qualified! I'd like to see who will die miserably! "
Before everyone's gazes, Kang Linghong stared at Chen Hao who was rushing over like lightning. He was not in a hurry, and as he spoke, his body moved. Enveloped by the seven-colored light, he rose into the air. His expression became cold and disdainful, emitting a strong bone-chilling killing intent.
It was true killing intent!
In reality, Kang Linghong had never looked down on Chen Hao. Even though he was confident that he could easily defeat Chen Hao, he did not dare to look down on him. Chen Hao was only a rank eight Martial Emperor before he started his training. In a short nine months, he was able to distinguish himself among the geniuses of the Hundred Empire Ranking and stand on the highest stage as a seed. Who would dare to look down on him?
Furthermore, Kang Linghong was certain that the sect's elders wanted Chen Hao much more than the disciples who obtained the inheritance of divine beasts and became Martial Saints. That was because Chen Hao's age, talent, battle power, and the aura of the five elements and Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth on his body were not something that the inherited divine beasts could compare with.
With an additional competitor, there would be a decrease in importance. Especially if they both chose the same sect, his radiance would be somewhat overshadowed by Chen Hao. Thus, as long as Chen Hao dared to accept his challenge, he would think of a way to kill him. Directly revealing the power of inheritance was clearly not suitable. Otherwise, if he were to directly admit defeat, the gains would not make up for the losses. Furthermore, he believed that merely by relying on the disparity between a Martial Saint and a Martial Ancestor Realm, he would be able to kill Chen Hao!
"Boom!"
After Kang Linghong spat out the word 'miserable', a resplendent seven-colored pillar of energy suddenly condensed in his palm. Frightening energy fluctuations immediately spread out. In an instant, they condensed into a resplendent pillar of energy that ruthlessly shot toward the incoming Chen Hao!
Kang Linghong's frightening attack was as fast as lightning. Merely the energy fluctuations it emitted were sufficient to explode any Martial Ancestor Realm expert.
As soon as he attacked, Kang Linghong displayed the true power of a Martial Saint. Countless people in the spectator seats were shocked. With such power, how could Chen Hao, who was only at the Martial Ancestor Realm, resist?
Everyone's gazes were filled with shock, curiosity, and pity as they gathered on Chen Hao. No one had thought that Chen Hao would stupidly choose such a head-on attack.
However, in the face of Kang Linghong's swift and fierce attack, Chen Hao's expression did not change in the slightest. He did not have any intention of dodging. His wildly dashing figure suddenly froze. His right palm drew an arc in front of him at lightning speed and crossed his waist. Then, he exploded with a loud roar that reverberated through the heavens and earth as he violently struck out with his palm!
"Roar, roar, roar …"
The moment Chen Hao's palm struck out, the violent Yuan Power within a radius of several hundred feet instantly seemed to have been sucked away. What was even more shocking was that in an instant, Chen Hao's palm actually spat out a total of eighteen energy shadows that resembled divine dragons. They spiraled and danced as they whizzed out!
The whizzing sound was like the roars of eighteen huge dragons exploding at the same time. The momentum was extremely shocking!
Rumble!
Chen Hao's palm landed solidly on the oncoming light pillar. In an instant, accompanied by a frightening explosion, a strong wind that could collapse mountains and split the earth frantically swept out. The huge main arena and even the entire Martial Arts Practice Field trembled at this moment!
"Break!"
Eighteen huge dragons that contained the circulation of the Five Elements and the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth seemed to have condensed into substance. They coiled around the energy light pillar that Chen Hao had sent out and extended upwards. Then, with a low roar from Chen Hao, the energy light pillar that was enough to kill a ninth grade Martial Ancestor Realm was actually forcefully exploded by Chen Hao's palm under the shocked gazes of the crowd!
"This … Who exactly obtained the inheritance of the Azure Dragon?"
In the Martial Arts Practice Field, countless people were dumbfounded and at a loss …
Chen Hao, who was only a ninth grade Martial Ancestor Realm, was actually not at a disadvantage in his first direct confrontation. He had sent out eighteen huge dragons with a palm strike. The frightening strength that he displayed caused countless people to feel that it was inconceivable. Even the eyes of the Sect Elders on the platform became heated. What kind of absolute skill was this?
"Are you qualified now?" After the frightening energy storm, Chen Hao's proud and upright figure once again clearly appeared in front of the crowd. He stared at Kang Linghong who was a hundred feet away and said with a cold and arrogant voice.
Kang Linghong's pupils slowly shrank. A bone-chilling voice suddenly rang out.
"Since you're looking for death, I'll fulfill your wish!"
A strong killing intent spread out from Kang Linghong's body. The temperature of the Martial Arts Practice Field seemed to have instantly dropped to the freezing point. At this moment, everyone could see that Kang Linghong no longer dared to underestimate Chen Hao. A sparkling and resplendent green light accompanied by a strong killing intent flashed out from Kang Linghong's body at a frightening speed.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and the earth. Above Kang Linghong's head, the phantom of a huge azure dragon that was dozens of feet long appeared. It circled around like lightning and directly merged into Kang Linghong's body.
Kacha kacha …
Accompanied by a strange sound, an extremely frightening aura suddenly soared from Kang Linghong's body. What shocked the crowd even more was that Kang Linghong's exposed skin was covered with green scales that emitted a crystal light at a frightening speed. His hands were also strangely enlarged by several times, as if they had become incomparably sharp dragon claws!
Before he made a move, the crowd could clearly feel that Kang Linghong's body contained an explosive energy that was enough to shatter mountains and split the earth!
"Is this the true strength of the Divine Beast Inheritance?"
Countless people looked at Kang Linghong in a daze and muttered. In the previous battles, other than Li You Ran who had admitted defeat, the other three who had obtained the Divine Beast Inheritance had already stepped into the Martial Saint Realm. Even when they faced the seeded contestants, they did not merge with the Divine Beast Inheritance. As Martial Saints, they had easily won. At this moment, under the might of Chen Hao's palm, Kang Linghong had no choice but to display his true strength!
"Go to hell!"
Kang Linghong, who had turned into a monster covered in scales, had eyes like an ancient ferocious beast, emitting a monstrous killing intent. His body shook and suddenly, with a whoosh, his entire person seemed to have turned into a divine dragon that soared through the Nine Heavens. The energy of heaven and earth churned violently as a violent and powerful aura swept through the entire incomparably huge arena! (To be continued.
