The third round of the competition ended, and the list of the top eight was announced.
Gu Yijian, Xiong Qifeng, Wei Qingyan, Ye Yunlong, Wei Qingxuan, Xiong Qikai, Ye Yundie, and Ye Xing!
Some were happy, while others were sad!
The happiest were none other than the Ye Clan's martial artists. In this recruitment competition, the Ye Clan had achieved excellent results. Among the top eight, the Ye Clan occupied three seats.
The Xiong Clan and Wei Clan each occupied two seats, while the City Lord's Residence occupied one seat.
"Hehe …!"
In the loft, Ye Wendao was very happy. After hearing the list of the top eight, he laughed heartily.
"Brother Wendao, this time your Yeh family can be considered proud and glorious. Three of the top eight are actually descendants of the Yeh family. Tsk tsk … this time, the Yeh family really made a comeback!"
Wei Zhengguang congratulated Ye Wendao. Although there were only two people from the Wei Clan in the top eight, Wei Zhengguang was in a good mood.
As the head of the Wei Clan, Wei Zhengguang naturally knew how talented Wei Qingxuan was. Not only was her aptitude extremely high, but her martial arts talent was also extremely heaven-defying. She was both a cultivation genius and a martial arts prodigy. She had enormous potential.
Wei Qingxuan was so outstanding. In Wei Zhengguang's opinion, she would definitely be recruited into the gifted class by the Zishan Academy.
A student in the gifted class was more valuable than ten students in the ordinary classes. As long as Wei Qingxuan could enter the gifted class, no matter how many people from the Yeh family entered the ordinary class, they would not be able to overshadow the Wei Clan's limelight in this recruitment competition.
Wei Zhengguang was not at all worried that the Yeh family's descendants would be too outstanding and embarrass the Wei Clan in this recruitment competition. Therefore, he was in a very good mood.
Compared to Wei Zhengguang's good mood, Xiong Baolong was extremely depressed.
Before the recruitment competition started, he had already mocked Ye Wendao in front of his face. He wondered if the Ye Clan would be able to recruit someone in this recruitment competition.
However, the competition had only entered the third round, and three members of the Yeh family had already made it into the top eight. There was no doubt that they would be recruited by Zishan Academy.
Thinking back to what he said before, Tyrannical Bear felt like he was slapping himself in the face. How could his mood be good?
Fortunately, Xiong Bao Long was very confident in Xiong Qifeng. As long as Xiong Qifeng could defeat his peers and take first place, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would be recruited into the Purple Mountain Academy's Genius class.
"As long as Qi Feng can enter the gifted class, humph! The winner of the recruitment competition this time is still my Xiong Clan. For two consecutive batches of recruitment, there are juniors entering the Gifted Class. This is something that has never happened before in Celestial Azure City. "
Tyrannosaurus Xiong had such a thought. Finally, the gloominess in his heart was washed away, and he revealed a smile.
…
The fourth round was quickly arranged by Gu Jing.
Gu Yijian opened fire at Xiong Qi.
Xiong Qifeng versus Ye Yundie.
Ye Yunlong faced Wei Qingxuan.
Wei Qingyan faced Ye Xing.
Among the top eight, there were four sixth-tier martial artists. They were Gu Yijian, Xiong Qifeng, Ye Yunlong, and Wei Qingyan.
In the fourth round, these four sixth-tier fifth-tier martial artists were separated into four matches. In this way, Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan, the two rising stars, also avoided facing each other in the fourth round.
The first two rounds of the competition ended very quickly.
Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng were both Celestial Azure City's prodigies. They were experienced sixth-tier martial artists and were very powerful.
As for Xiong Qikai and Ye Yundie, their cultivation had not broken through to sixth-tier.
To ordinary martial artists, martial arts attainments, body-tempering techniques, speed, and so on only had disadvantages in front of sixth-tier martial artists. There were no advantages. In addition to the disparity in inner strength, the difference of a single tier in cultivation was like a chasm that was difficult to cross.
Therefore, Xiong Qikai and Ye Yundie did not even last three moves against Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng before they were defeated.
Xiong Qikai and Ye Yundie stopped at the top eight. Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng advanced to the fifth round.
The third match of the fourth round was between Ye Yunlong and Wei Qingxuan.
This was a very interesting match. Whether it was the family heads in the pavilion or the spectators outside the square, their spirits were raised by a lot as they paid attention to the battle in the arena.
At the Genius Summit, Wei Qingxuan's name shook Celestial Azure City. She had already defeated Ye Yunlong.
Moreover, at the Genius Summit, only the top ten elite disciples of the three major families watched that battle. The rest had only heard about it.
Today, everyone was lucky enough to witness the battle between Ye Yunlong and Wei Qingxuan. Naturally, they were excited.
Moreover, Ye Yunlong's cultivation had broken through and stepped into the sixth-tier of the martial path. His inner strength had been refined into his skin and his strength had increased greatly. As for Wei Qingxuan, although her cultivation had also increased greatly, it was still within the fifth-tier of the martial path. Her inner strength had not undergone any fundamental changes.
Between the two of them, who was stronger and who was weaker, everyone wanted to know.
The difference in strength between a fifth-tier martial artist and a sixth-tier martial artist was very large. Most people thought that Ye Yunlong would be able to redeem himself.
However, there were also a few people who had the opposite view. They thought that Ye Yunlong had no chance of winning at all.
For example, Ye Xing knew Wei Qingxuan's strength very well. Even if he fought her, if he did not use a bow and arrow and did not use his superbrain to scan for flaws, he did not have much confidence in defeating her.
Apart from Ye Xing, there were also some members of the Wei family who understood Wei Qingxuan's strength. They were also very confident in Wei Qingxuan.
The result was just as Ye Xing and the others had expected. It was beyond the expectations of most people.
As soon as the Peak Stage of the Mountain Technique was used, the huge pressure that was like a mountain pressing down on Ye Yunlong made him feel uncomfortable and his strength was reduced.
Coupled with Wei Qingxuan's Peak Stage martial arts technique, even if Ye Yunlong's inner force was a notch higher and cultivated to the point of skin membrane, he was still easily defeated by Wei Qingxuan.
In less than ten moves, Ye Yunlong was defeated in just seven moves. This shocked most of the audience.
"Senior Brother Ye Xing, this woman is too strong. I feel that her strength is not inferior to Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng. If you encounter her, you must be more careful!"
After Ye Yunlong was defeated and left the arena, he whispered in Ye Xing's ear.
Without facing Wei Qingxuan directly, it was difficult to understand the oppressive power of the Mountain Technique. However, Ye Yunlong deeply experienced it. He already knew how terrifying Wei Qingxuan was. She was definitely much stronger than others imagined.
Ye Xing smiled slightly, nodded at Ye Yunlong, and then went up the arena.
Wei Qingyan also came up at the same time and said, "My sister said that my strength is not as good as yours and that it's useless to fight. However, I still want to experience your skills."
Wei Qingyan's words, or perhaps it should be Wei Qingxuan's words, caused many of the audience to disagree.
Ye Xing's reputation in Tiancang City was after all worse than Wei Qingxuan's. Other than the Yeh family, very few people felt that Ye Xing could be compared to Wei Qingxuan.
As for Ye Xing's Level Five cultivation, it was very hard to believe that he could defeat Wei Qingyan, who was at Level Six cultivation.
Ye Xing nodded lightly and said, "Then you must be careful. I won't deliberately go easy on you just because you're a woman!"
Wei Qingyan was last year's proud daughter, so she still had a trace of pride in her heart. She said, "Go all out. I don't need you to show mercy."
"Alright, I'm going to make my move!"
After Wei Qingyan finished speaking, she suddenly took a step forward. Her body was light, swaying lightly in the air.
Wei Qingyan's speed seemed very slow, but in reality, she was not only fast, but also very agile. In the blink of an eye, she circled behind Ye Xing.
The corner of Ye Xing's mouth curled up. Wei Qingyan's forte was her movement technique, and she could defeat her opponent in agile combat.
However, no matter how strong her movement technique was, it was nothing in front of him.
Because his Seven Stars Steps integrated with the wind force, he was already at the stage of perfection.
Ye Xing stepped on the Seven Stars Steps, and the moment he used the stage of perfection's Seven Stars Steps, his body changed direction and position in a flash.
Almost at the same moment that Wei Qingyan appeared behind Ye Xing, Ye Xing suddenly appeared in front of Wei Qingyan.
Mountain Splitting Palm!
Ye Xing struck out with his palm. Wei Qingyan originally wanted to circle behind Ye Xing and launch a sneak attack, but now she couldn't even dodge in time and could only strike out with her palm.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound, and Wei Qingyan cried out in surprise. She felt an extremely terrifying force coming toward her.
Even though she was a Level Six martial artist and her inner force had been refined to the point of skin membrane, it did not cause any harm to Ye Xing. Instead, she felt some pain in her palm, and her body was pushed back by the terrifying force.
Wei Qingyan only managed to stabilize her body after retreating for a full ten steps. Her eyes were filled with shock. She clearly did not expect that she would be defeated by Ye Xing in one strike.
The elders in the loft all looked shocked. Even Mu Feng from the Zishan Marquis' residence showed some interest in his lazy eyes.
The audience outside the square sucked in a breath of cold air one by one.
Most people thought that Ye Xing would reach the top eight, but they did not expect Ye Xing to win so cleanly against Wei Qingxuan. His strength was far beyond their imagination.
In the eyes of the Yeh family, Ye Xing's performance in the recruitment competition was expected.
In the eyes of other martial artists, Ye Xing was a big dark horse in this recruitment competition!
"I lost …!" Wei Qingyan sighed and leaped down from the arena.
"You let me win!" Ye Xing looked indifferent. He nodded at Wei Qingyan and also left the arena, returning to the younger generation of the Ye Clan.
The fourth round of the competition ended. Out of the four Level Six martial artists, two advanced and two were eliminated.
Wei Qingxuan and Ye Xing both defeated Level Six martial artists and advanced to the top four, competing with the two favored sons of heaven, Gu Yijian and Xiong Qifeng.
