"It can't be? The peak of the late stage of the Embodiment Realm … "
"What a powerful aura!"
Chu Qingtian attracted everyone's attention the moment he arrived at the Martial Arts Practice Field. All of them widened their eyes in shock. Obviously, no one expected Chu Qingtian, who was still at the peak of the middle stage of the Embodiment Realm three days ago, to be at the peak of the late stage of the Embodiment Realm now.
"I knew that the Yuan Gate would do this, but I didn't expect Chu Qingtian to be able to raise his cultivation by an entire level. That's impressive … It seems like he has a greater chance of getting first place. Xia Youyou shouldn't be his match …" The Sect Leader of the Rank 9 Sect was different from the rest. The Yuan Gate's Origin Essence Empowerment Technique was top secret. However, they knew about it. They had guessed that the Sect Leader of the Yuan Gate would sacrifice his cultivation to help Chu Qingtian under Xia Youyou's threat. However, no one expected Chu Qingtian to be able to raise his cultivation from the peak of the middle stage to the peak of the late stage.
Xia Lingfeng looked at Chu Qingtian with a hint of depression and helplessness. He was the one who understood Youyou's true strength the most. Before Chu Qingtian appeared, he still had a glimmer of hope. However, it seemed like Xia Youyou wasn't Chu Qingtian's match.
Although Xia Youyou's talent was high, and her battle prowess was also extremely powerful, without the advantage of strength, she was undoubtedly lacking in battle experience. Moreover, Xia Youyou had never experienced any life or death situations since she was young. Xia Lingfeng couldn't be sure about her ability to withstand pressure and counterattack in adversity.
…
"He actually reached the peak of the late stage of the Embodiment Realm … Haohao, if you meet him, you have to be extra careful … Youyou knows that you won't listen to grandfather, but … it's better to be careful!" Xia Youyou transmitted her voice to Chen Hao with a hint of worry on her beautiful face.
In three days, Chen Hao didn't produce any miracles. His cultivation didn't increase at all.
"Mm. These fellows are all powerful. Chu Qingtian has unleashed the Essence Energy Empowerment Technique to the extreme, and the heavily injured Wu Ruochen has advanced to the middle stage of the Embodiment realm … This is getting more and more interesting … "Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Interesting? Haohao … you can't be that confident, right? "
Hearing Chen Hao's words, Xia Youyou couldn't help but turn to look at Chen Hao and transmit her voice.
"We'll only know after we fight. You can rest assured … "Chen Hao said.
"How about another bet?" At this time, Leng Yihan also turned his head and stared at Chen Hao. The corner of his mouth flashed with strong confidence as he sent a telepathic message, "If you win this round, we'll be even. We won't owe each other anything!"
"I couldn't ask for more! What do you want to bet? "Chen Hao turned to Leng Yihan.
"Let's bet on whether I can defeat Wu Ruochen!"
"Ahem …" Hearing Leng Yihan's words, Chen Hao was a little dumbfounded. "How do we bet? That's between the two of you. It has nothing to do with me, right? Why don't you bet on our rankings, or on our battle … "
"If I defeat Wu Ruochen, then I win. If I lose, it's my loss, and we're even … "Leng Yihan ignored Chen Hao's question and said confidently.
Seeing Chen Hao's slightly shocked expression, Xia Youyou frowned slightly, but she didn't know what the two were talking about.
"If that's the case, okay. I'll bet with you … "Chen Hao pondered for a while and said.
Wu Ruochen's level had increased. Even he had to be careful when facing him. Although Leng Yihan definitely had some hidden strength, in Chen Hao's opinion, it was still limited. It was unlikely that he could defeat Wu Ruochen. Moreover, Chen Hao couldn't think of any hidden strength that Leng Yihan had that would allow him to defeat Wu Ruochen. The odds of winning and losing were at best fifty-fifty. It was worth a bet.
After all, Chen Hao still owed him a promise. Even if he really won, it would just be adding one more. Too many debts, one wouldn't worry … But if he lost, it would be even.
"But why don't you compete with me? This doesn't fit your personality … "Chen Hao said with a little pride.
"What's there to be proud of? It's only temporary. Wait for me … You'll understand when the time comes. "Leng Yihan stopped talking halfway.
…
At seven o 'clock, the female Immortal appeared on the main seat on the rostrum punctually. She glanced at the respectful sect leaders and said lightly, "You may begin!"
…
The Ten-Sided Arena had already become an incomparably huge arena. The powerful enchantment seal was clearly much stronger than it was during the group stage.
When the judge gave the order, Chu Qingtian and a weakling in the top twenty took the stage first.
There was no elimination in the top twenty ranking competition. Everyone had to fight with the other nineteen people. The order of the matches was directly arranged by the judge based on everyone's performance.
Chu Qingtian, Xia Youyou, Wu Ruochen, Chen Hao, Gu Xing, and Leng Yihan's order of appearance was based on the judge's estimation of their strength. If the contestants hadn't recovered to their peak state before the start of the next match, they could request for a delay. It was very fair.
After fourteen rounds of matches, a total of one hundred and forty matches, Chu Qingtian, Xia Youyou, and Chen Hao all won, just like the judge's estimation.
During this time, no one admitted defeat. Even if they met experts like Chu Qingtian and Xia Youyou, who they knew were undefeatable, they would still fight with all their strength. After all, this was a chance to perform in front of the female Immortal. Even if there was a slight chance of being chosen, they would still fight with all their might.
In these fourteen rounds of matches, Chu Qingtian and Xia Youyou's strength was fully displayed. They defeated their opponents easily within three moves.
Wu Ruochen, Gu Xing, and Leng Yihan also performed well. Although they weren't as good as Chu Qingtian and Xia Youyou, they won easily.
On the contrary, it was Chen Hao who had to waste a lot of time every time. No matter how strong or weak his opponent was, this guy always fought "slowly". He didn't have the courage and valiance that he had in the past two days, allowing his opponent to unleash their full potential. But in the end, it was always a failure.
In everyone's opinion, Chen Hao must be hiding his trump card. Also, it was because his cultivation was too low that he used such a fighting method.
However, some sharp-eyed experts noticed that Chen Hao was acting strangely.
This guy didn't treat the competition as a competition at all. He treated it as a battle to train himself!
It had to be said that because of his cultivation, when he didn't use his trump card, he couldn't defeat anyone easily. After these fourteen rounds of difficult battles, Chen Hao's control and utilization of his strength had obviously improved by a level.
However, only a few people could see it.
…
In the fifteenth round, the exciting match that everyone was waiting for finally arrived.
"First round, Chu Qingtian versus Leng Yihan!"
Whoosh …
As the referee's voice rang out, the dull martial arts arena finally became lively for the first time. It couldn't be helped. The previous matches were all about the strong versus the weak, or the weak versus the weak that not many people paid attention to. At this moment, the dark horse Leng Yihan and the publicly acknowledged strongest Chu Qingtian appeared. At least it was more interesting.
"Leng Yihan will definitely lose against Chu Qingtian. I wonder if Chu Qingtian can finish the match in three moves? Or does Leng Yihan have an even stronger trump card? "
"It's possible! Leng Yihan is someone that the Immortal Supreme values. He even gave the Immortal Supreme's token … How can such a person be so simple? However, it's obviously impossible for him to win against Chu Qingtian. Let's see how far he can push Chu Qingtian … "
Many people in the crowd discussed as they looked at Leng Yihan and Chu Qingtian.
Leng Yihan took a deep breath and stood up. A cold battle intent rose from his body.
"Be careful. Don't be ruthlessly attacked by this guy …" When Leng Yihan leaped up, Chen Hao hesitated for a moment before reminding him. Chen Hao was more or less conflicted. He avoided Leng Yihan like he was a snake or a scorpion, but deep in his heart, he couldn't see Leng Yihan as an opponent or an enemy. This feeling was very strange. It was so strange that Chen Hao wondered if he really had the tendency to have goosebumps just thinking about it.
Leng Yihan's body froze for a moment before he sped up and stepped onto the arena.
…
Chu Qingtian stood with his hands behind his back. The aura around him was no different from the previous matches. It was still dominating and looking down on everyone. However, deep in his eyes, there was a trace of coldness and viciousness that he didn't have when facing others.
Feeling the aura on Chu Qingtian's body, Leng Yihan's expression turned serious. He knew very well that even if he exposed all his trump cards, he wouldn't be Chu Qingtian's opponent. Keeping his trump cards to deal with Wu Ruochen and Gu Xing was undoubtedly the best choice. However, Leng Yihan didn't plan to do that. This was because he knew that the abnormal Chen Hao would definitely exceed his expectations again … This was his intuition. When he saw Chen Hao's expression when he saw Chu Qingtian arrive, he understood this. Therefore, he had to force Chu Qingtian to use his trump cards as much as possible …
"Why don't you use your concealment skills?"
When the referee announced the start of the match, Chu Qingtian didn't make a move. Instead, he stared at Leng Yihan arrogantly and said with contempt.
"Why would I need to conceal myself to deal with you?" Leng Yihan said with disdain.
"Is that so? When you're at my level, I might believe you. But now … I'll make you get out of the arena within ten moves! "
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qingtian's aura surged violently. He wanted to provoke Leng Yihan, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant and vicious. After all, Leng Yihan's sect was able to obtain the Celestial Supreme Token. It was obvious that the Celestial Supreme valued Leng Yihan. More or less, he had to be wary of the Celestial Supreme's feelings.
"Hmph! Then let's try! "
Clang!
Leng Yihan unsheathed his sword. The dazzling lightning sword light suddenly lit up the entire arena.
Whoosh …
At this moment, the entire arena was filled with exclamations and gasps. Everyone stared at Leng Yihan with wide eyes. Their expressions were filled with disbelief.
"How … how is this possible?"
"Did I sense it wrongly?"
Everyone, including the elder on the rostrum, asked in disbelief.
