At this moment, the mysteries of the peak of the earth attribute allowed everyone to clearly feel that Ai Qiongcuo's axe contained a mountain-like, suffocating pressure. Some of the disciples with weaker cultivations widened their eyes in shock. If they were to face such an attack, just this pressure alone would be enough to make them unable to move an inch.
"Not bad."
Chen Hao thought in his heart. His black eyes were indifferent and calm like water, and he stared motionlessly at the enormous axe that was swiftly enlarging in his eyes.
Thirty feet!
Ten feet!
Fifty feet!
Ten feet!
Just when some ignorant people thought that Chen Hao was intimidated by the opponent's pressure and had no ability to resist, two bright lights suddenly flashed in Chen Hao's eyes.
Clang! Chi! Boom!
Drawing the sword, striking, thrusting, sheathing the sword …
Fast, ruthless, accurate. In the blink of an eye, he had completed the simplest attack that everyone knew but no one used anymore. It was as if there was no ultimate skill involved and it was just a movement that sword apprentices could perform.
But with a loud bang, Ai Qiongcuo's short and stout body flew out like a kite with a broken string, fiercely crashing into the boundary of the arena. The huge axe also flew out of his hand.
Hiss!
Countless gasps could be heard in the arena. Even those who already knew that Chen Hao would easily win revealed a look of surprise. No one had thought that a half-step Incarnation level expert with terrifying strength would not even have the chance to resist in a single move. His weapon was sent flying and he collapsed on the arena. They were even more surprised when they saw blood spurting out from the corner of Ai Qiongcuo's mouth.
"So strong!"
"The most basic sword skill can actually display such power. Too powerful!"
"I'm afraid that apart from those at the Incarnation level, no one can fight with Chen Hao. His fighting strength is far beyond imagination …"
Everyone exclaimed as they looked at Chen Hao, who stood there calmly and proudly as if he had not used his sword at all.
Xia Youyou's beautiful little face revealed a trace of surprise and joy. Even she did not expect that Chen Hao could cultivate a simple sword to such a level. Not only was it fast and accurate, it was also incomparably smooth. There were no flaws in the connection between drawing the sword, thrusting the sword, stabbing, and sheathing the sword.
In the entire martial arts arena, only Helian Wuzi, Tantai Lian, and Leng Yihan were not surprised at all. In their hearts, anything that happened to Chen Hao was not surprising. This was only the beginning. They knew very well that in the following matches, Chen Hao would definitely shine the brightest. Just like how Chen Hao had once done on the Ranking of the Hundred Dynasties, he would defeat all the opponents that seemed powerful and had no chance of victory!
"Hmph, it's just that his attack power is stronger than that idiot's, his speed is faster, and he's able to find a flaw … He's no threat to me at all!" Wu Ruochen saw everyone's surprise, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself disdainfully.
"Next!" A moment later, when the referee was certain that Ai Qiongcuo had no combat power left, he shouted.
…
"Wind Shadow, don't go head-to-head with that kid. It's basically impossible for you to defeat him with your strength. Just drag it out and exhaust his Vital Essence. We have eighteen people. Can't we defeat ten of them?"
"Yes!"
The disciple named Wind Shadow was ranked second in the sect, just a little bit behind Ai Qiongcuo. The moment he was about to enter the arena, the sect elder transmitted a message to him.
…
"You're very strong, but it won't be that easy to defeat me …" The moment the disciple named Wind Shadow stepped onto the arena, he looked at Chen Hao with a serious expression and said. His entire aura became erratic at this moment. Wisps of cool breeze swirled around him, as if he could turn into a gust of cool breeze at any time. When the referee put down his hand, he immediately disappeared from the spot.
"Mastery of the True Essence of the Wind Attribute? Not bad. "
Chen Hao sensed his opponent's aura and thought to himself. It had to be said that these disciples had already reached a realm in the True Essence of the Wind Attribute that even Chen Hao was envious of. But it was useless to him. Especially after experiencing the terrifying baptism of Heaven's Punishment, Chen Hao's soul perception had been improved tremendously.
Chi!
When Wind Shadow turned into a gust of cool breeze and became erratic and unpredictable, everyone thought that Wind Shadow would be able to fight Chen Hao for a long time. But then, Chen Hao suddenly attacked with his sword.
It was still the same simple sword attack. Even his posture and expression did not change at all. The only difference was that his speed was faster. Under his amazing speed, the distance of several hundred feet was like a straight waterfall, leaving behind many afterimages.
Without giving too much time to guess, a scream accompanied by an arrow of blood appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
In less than two breaths, Wind Shadow followed in Ai Qiongcuo's footsteps.
It was still the same sword attack, the same sword attack.
How did he lock onto Wind Shadow so quickly?
No one knew.
Then, the third, the fourth, the fifth … Every time, it was the same sword attack. Moreover, as his opponent became weaker and weaker, Chen Hao's sword attack also slowed down automatically, as if he did not want to waste a single bit of his energy. And every time, there was no suspense.
After five consecutive attacks, the psychological defense of the remaining thirteen people from the grade-7 sect was completely destroyed. No one thought that Chen Hao would be so powerful … Most importantly, Chen Hao did not seem to use any energy at all. This was the most unbearable thing.
Eighteen swords, eighteen people. Chen Hao returned to Xia Youyou's side in high spirits. A Rank 7 Sect had been overturned by him so easily.
…
'This boy is really not simple. He didn't reveal any of his trump cards from the beginning until the end … Looks like nobody can force him to show his true strength unless he meets someone on the Manifestation Stage,' many old men on the main platform thought to themselves. With their experience, it was natural for them to see more clearly than anyone else.
Meanwhile, the Sect Leader of Ling Tian Sect, Xia Lingfeng, stared at Chen Hao who was sitting with his precious granddaughter from afar. The more he stared, the more he felt …
…
The competition continued. Soon, everyone's attention was attracted by another ring. Chen Hao, who was the first to defeat all of his opponents, was gradually overshadowed by his brilliance.
Without even drawing his sword, he defeated everyone from a grade-8 sect by himself!
After that, all the top powerhouses from the top ten sects went on the same pattern. Including Wu Ruochen, they all passed the round by themselves with ease.
When Xia Youyou went on the stage, the whole place was in an uproar. What made Chen Hao a little speechless was that the young disciples of the grade-six sect that the Ling Tian Sect had encountered were all in a daze when they went up the ring to battle Xia Youyou. Their strength was already worlds apart from Xia Youyou's, and if they were in a daze, how could they fight?
Xia Youyou seemed to be playing with them as she casually released energy and beat the crap out of them. They did not forget to look at Xia Youyou when they vomited blood.
In fact, when they encountered these grade-9 sects, everyone was just playing around. How could they possibly win? Even if the top powerhouse ran out of energy and fought them one-on-one, they would be drowned by the sheer number of people.
Under such circumstances, who would have the heart to fight the top beauty in the Eastern Continent's cultivation world? They all went up to take a closer look so that when they returned, they could boast about the experience of fighting on the same stage as Xia Youyou.
In the third round, the Star Picking Sect encountered a grade-3 sect. They started from the weakest, and even Tantai Lian did not have a chance to attack before the Star Picking Sect won easily.
In the fourth round, they started from the strongest to the weakest. Chen Hao still used the same sword move and defeated a grade-5 sect.
After the day's competition ended, there were a total of ten rounds.
What made Wu Ruochen very depressed was that, because of Chen Hao's strength, the judges had clearly placed the Star-Picking Sect in a very high position. The Skysword Sect and the Star-Picking Sect were never allowed to meet. In these ten rounds, Chen Hao took the lead in all the even-numbered rounds. The audience almost vomited blood when they saw this. The reason was very simple. This guy only used the same one sword move over and over again. However, even the three Rank Eight Sects that he encountered were defeated by him. Moreover, no one could make Chen Hao use the second sword move …
Even some of the grade-9 sects' number one Incarnation realm experts were defeated by Chen Hao. Because other than Xia Youyou, Chu Qingtian, Gu Xing, and Wu Ruochen, the other six grade-9 sects' number one experts were all unable to maintain the same state.
…
"Hahaha … good, good, good! I never thought that you would be so strong. And Xiaolian is also very strong. Hahaha … keep it up, keep it up! If this continues, it's very possible for us to get second place in the group. Hahaha … "
When the day's competition ended and everyone returned to the courtyard, Yuwen Tairan and the three elders' faces were like blooming daisies. They were glowing and full of energy. Yuwen Tairan, the sect master, could not stop laughing in front of everyone. He had completely lost the dignity that a sect master should have.
"The three of you don't need to be depressed. There will always be a chance to fight. As long as you perform well, there will be no problems. I really hope that you will never have a chance to fight. Then our Star Picking Sect will definitely be first place in the group. Hahaha … "
Yuwen Tairan looked at the depressed Long Yukong, Ye Feixue, and Helian Wuzi and laughed. The three of them were indeed depressed, especially Long Yukong, who wanted to show his strength. One day, ten matches, and the three of them did not have a chance to fight. The competition from weak to strong ended when it came to Tantai Lian. Tantai Lian's terrifying power of the Phoenix Inheritance swept all the remaining people. And when it came to weak, Chen Hao was even more perverted. Even against grade-8 sects, there was no exception. How could the three of them not be depressed? After waiting for an entire day, they did not even have a chance to fight …
But even though they were depressed, they were still happy. After all, if Chen Hao were to be defeated, it would very likely mean that the Star-Picking Sect had lost.
…
"Sect Master!"
"Hmm? Ruochen, you don't look good today. What's wrong? "
When the people of the Sky Sword Sect gathered in the courtyard, Wu Ruochen's expression was extremely gloomy. He suddenly transmitted his voice to the sect master.
