Victory after victory, he was invincible.
The last opponent was also defeated by Chen Zong. Since then, there were no more challengers in this arena. Chen Zong directly passed the preliminary round and would enter the third stage of the promotion round. He would compete with the 72 people from the last Cloud List for this year's Cloud List.
Not long after, the challenges in the other 71 arenas also came to an end, and the final 72 arena masters appeared.
Xia Minglang, Yu Nianxin, and Gao Leping were among them.
Under the cover of Chen Zong's powerful soul sense, he easily knew the cultivation levels of these people.
The highest was the Peak Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer, a record of all the previous disciples, but there weren't many of them, only four in total. The next highest was the Peak Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer with eight, the Late Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer with fourteen, the Mid Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer with twenty, the Early Transcendent Realm with twenty-four, and the Eighth Layer with two.
Of the two Transcendent Realm cultivators, one was Gao Le Ping, who was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and the other was Chen Zong, who was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.
In terms of cultivation, Chen Zong's cultivation was undoubtedly the lowest among the seventy-two people who had passed the preliminary round, but his strength was frightening.
The seventy-two arenas moved toward the center from all directions, touching each other and merging silently. Finally, they formed a huge arena that was ten thousand meters long and wide.
"Congratulations to all of you for entering the promotion round. Next, all of you will fight against the disciples of the previous Cloud Roll." A bright light flashed in the elder's eyes. His voice was loud and powerful, resounding like thunder in the surroundings. There was a hint of excitement in his voice that made people feel excited from the bottom of their hearts.
Promotion match!
This was the first half of the Outer Sect Grand Competition, and it was about to begin. At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.
"After watching the competition for so long, my hands are already itching."
"Let's show these people how powerful we are."
All the disciples on the Cloud Roll laughed.
Watching other people fight, especially those with decent strength, had already stimulated their fighting spirit.
Now, it was finally their turn to make a move. All of them were naturally extremely excited.
There were seventy-two people on the Honor Roll and seventy-two ringmasters in the preliminary round. There was a total of one hundred and forty-four people who would go through one round of duels. It was just one round of duels. This round of duels would determine the new Honor Roll.
It sounded simple, but there might be some unexpected situations. For example, some people had the strength to enter the Cloud Roll, but they were defeated by stronger opponents and had no chance to enter the Cloud Roll.
However, the path of cultivation was not always smooth sailing. Luck was also a part of it.
One hundred and forty-four people began to draw lots to test their luck.
There were a total of one hundred and forty-four lots, from number one to number one hundred and forty-four. Number one would fight number two, number three would fight number four, number five would fight number six, and so on. One hundred and forty-three would fight one hundred and forty-four.
Chen Zong drew lot number thirty-five, so his opponent was naturally number thirty-six. However, since everyone was conservative about the lot they drew, Chen Zong did not know who drew lot thirty-six.
But no matter who it was, Chen Zong was fearless. He fought and won.
The third stage of the Promotion Round began.
The first round of the Promotion Round: Number 1 against Number 2.
Soon, Number 1 and Number 2 leaped up from different directions and landed on the ten-thousand-meter-wide ring. They faced each other from a thousand meters away, their eyes shining brightly as they collided with each other.
Number 1 was a disciple of the Origin Cloud Roll, Lei Gang, who was ranked sixty-fourth and whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm. Number 2 was one of the seventy-two people who passed the preliminary round, Feng Xiu, who was at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.
Lei Gang and Feng Xiu had the same cultivation, so the winner would be decided in other aspects.
With a low roar, Lei Gang erupted with an astonishing momentum. As the clouds surged, there seemed to be lightning arcs leaping. He unsheathed his long saber and slashed out. It was as if a thunderbolt tore through the sky. It was incomparably dazzling, and an astonishing sound like a demon's voice poured into Feng Xiu's mind.
The wind elementalist had rich battle experience. His eyes narrowed slightly as he unsheathed his longsword. Like a gust of wind, it cut through the air with astonishing sharpness, bringing along a sword pressure that was as frightening as a wind blade as it pierced out.
Lei Gang's Thunder Saber and Feng Xiu's Wind Sword bloomed with astonishing power at this moment.
Almost everyone's eyes widened as they stared with rapt attention.
The saber light was like lightning while the Sword Qi was like the wind.
Whether it was Lei Gang or Feng Xiu, both of them had used their full strength. Whether they were using their full strength or not was unknown, but at the very least, they were using eighty percent of their strength.
The saber light was like a bolt of lightning piercing through the air, one saber strike after another. Not only was it extremely fast, but its power was also extremely tyrannical, capable of destroying everything in its path. Even if there was a mountain in front of it, it would be smashed to smithereens.
Feng Xiu's sword brought about an endless storm of Sword Qi that swept out in all directions, forming an astonishing Sword Qi tornado that filled the air, covering a radius of a hundred meters and constantly colliding with the lightning saber light.
Shatter, regenerate!
An extremely terrifying force blasted out in all directions. The astonishing saber light and sword shadows tore the arena apart, leaving behind a series of ghastly scars.
This kind of power caused the eyes of the eliminated disciples to twitch in shock.
[Strong!]
[Too strong!]
Feng Xiu used his full strength, causing his sword to completely disappear, as if he was wielding a gust of wind, constantly tearing the sky apart, each of his sword strikes incomparably sharp.
Feng Xiu's strength was indeed astonishing. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm and he had cultivated a Spirit Grade Top Rank Secret Art to the fifteenth stage. His Spirit Energy was extremely pure and his Extraordinary Force, Wind Force, had also reached the sixth stage.
However, Lei Gang's strength was even higher.
With the same cultivation, Lei Gang had cultivated a Spirit Grade Top-Rank Secret Art to the sixteenth stage, causing his Spirit Energy to be even purer and his overall strength to be even more tyrannical.
[Fight, fight, fight!]
As a disciple of the Cloud List, Lei Gang had already cultivated one of the Five White Cloud Paths, the Refining Cloud Path, and had even displayed a Fifth-Grade Secret Art, Thunder Demon Hand.
As his saber slashed down, countless white clouds condensed out of thin air and fell from the sky. Tens of thousands of lightning bolts also gathered in an instant, transforming into a majestic saber light.
* Hong! *
It was as if the world itself was about to collapse.
Feng Xiu used his full strength and unleashed a Fifth-Grade Secret Art, slashing out with his sword. This sword strike condensed the essence of the Flying Cloud Path's upper stage.
The sword strike, the wind and clouds, shattering the sky.
Wind and Thunder, Saber and Sword!
As they collided, countless clouds exploded and filled all directions. The shocking power destroyed the mountains and countless forces tore the sky apart, leaving behind shocking traces.
Thump, thump, thump. Feng Xiu could not stop himself from retreating. After retreating for more than ten meters, a figure burst out from the clouds like an arrow shot from a powerful bow. The arm that swelled and thickened, with pitch-black lightning arcs jumping around, held a long saber. The saber was surrounded by countless lightning bolts. It was Lei Gang.
As he slashed out with his saber, the lightning saber light tore the sky apart and blasted toward Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu struggled to lift his sword to meet the attack, but the sword body was shaken off. The terrifying saber light brazenly attacked and sent Feng Xiu flying. There was a saber scar on his chest, as if his body was about to be split into two. It was so deep that his bones could be seen. Feng Xiu flew out and almost fell out of the arena.
Although Feng Xiu was severely injured, he still had the strength to continue fighting. However, he was obviously no match for Lei Gang and could only admit defeat helplessly.
Fortunately, even if he admitted defeat now, it did not mean that he had lost all his chances. In the end, he still had a chance to enter the Cloud List.
A burst of power surged and fell on Feng Xiu's body. Feng Xiu's pale face quickly recovered and the shocking saber wound on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than thirty breaths of time, the obvious saber wound had completely disappeared and the injury had been healed.
This was the ability of White Cloud Floating Island. After all, White Cloud Floating Island was a rare treasure that was connected to White Cloud Mountain. Because of this, it had such a magical ability. If it was taken to other places, it would be useless.
It was also because of this miraculous ability that they could heal injuries in a short period of time. It could be said that as long as they didn't die, all injuries could be healed. This allowed the disciples to fight at ease and fight wholeheartedly. They wouldn't be restrained because of anything.
Feng Xiu's recovery had nothing to do with the next battle. Number Three and Number Four had already appeared in the arena.
However, Number Three's cultivation was at the Early Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer while Number Four's cultivation was at the Late Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer. The obvious gap in cultivation also brought about a gap in strength.
Therefore, in less than ten moves, Number Three was defeated and Number Four won, placing her on the Cloud List.
In the third match, Number Five versus Number Six, with Number Five winning.
In the fourth match, Yu Nianxin was Number Seven. Her opponent was the 68th on the previous Cloud List, whose cultivation had reached the Peak Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer, even stronger than Yu Nianxin who was at the Early Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.
Those who could be ranked on the Cloud List were already very strong, enough to challenge those above their realm. After several years of cultivation, their cultivation had improved further, and their strength had only increased.
However, Yu Nianxin's talent was much higher, much higher, and she had completely mastered the essence of the Flying Cloud Way. She had also comprehended the Seventh Layer of her Wind Force.
At the beginning, the battle between Yu Nianxin and the 68th on the previous Cloud List was extremely fierce, but as time passed, Yu Nianxin gradually grasped the rhythm and gained the upper hand.
With a slash of her sword, the wind and clouds surged, as if she was flying through the sky.
The 68th on the previous Cloud List was directly sent flying by the slash, and all the strength in his body collapsed. Without any resistance, he fell from the ring and was defeated.
With Yu Nianxin successfully ranked on the Cloud List, Chen Zong smiled, feeling happy for Senior Sister Yu.
Battle after battle, Xu Ling fought against Xia Minglang. Unfortunately, Xu Ling was defeated by Xia Minglang. Xu Ling was very angry about this. He had been cultivating hard for more than a year in order to defeat Chen Zong and wash away the shame. But now, he was defeated before he could even fight with Chen Zong, and he was defeated by a new disciple.
In another battle, Yu Shuiyuan, who was ranked fifth on the previous Cloud List, defeated his opponent with a tyrannical posture and strength, showing the amazing demeanor of the top ten on the Cloud List.
There was no doubt that Yu Shuiyuan would occupy one of the spots on the final Cloud List, and his ranking would even be higher.
According to the experience of the previous batches, the top ten of the Cloud Roll would rarely be shaken. Most of them could continue to take the top ten of the Cloud Roll. Even if there were accidents, the top ten would be taken by the newcomers who were at the bottom.
Battle after battle, it was soon the turn of the 35th contestant, Chen Zong.
