Everyone was shocked by the points obtained by Yang Quan, Hei Yanze, and Ye Chendao. Soon after, the expert began to announce the points obtained by the others. However, he seemed to only announce the points obtained by the 30 people in the Regional Tournament.
The fourth person was Yang Feng, who was from the same family as Yang Quan. He obtained more than 4,200 points, which was more than 1,000 points less than the top three supreme geniuses. The difference was obvious.
The fifth person obtained more than 4,100 points, which was closer to Yang Feng's.
The sixth person!
The seventh person!
The eighth person!
The ninth person!
The tenth person!
4,100 points!
More than 4,000 points!
More than 3,900 points!
More than 3,800 points!
More than 3,700 points!
The further down the list, the fewer points they obtained. However, they all obtained more than 3,000 points, which was surprising.
Many people were frustrated because they felt that they had no hope of obtaining a spot. Some people were nervous and unsure if they could obtain a spot.
Ten!
Fifteen!
As the number of spots that had not been announced decreased, Chen Zong could not help but take a deep breath.
There were 20 spots left.
The 20th person also obtained more than 3,000 points.
Among the 20 people, the Fierce Phoenix King, Feng Yanyan, and the Xuanming Prince, Xu Mubai were among them. In addition, the top supreme geniuses of the Heng Jiang Prefecture and Tong Mountain Prefecture were among them.
Ten!
There were only ten spots left.
Subconsciously, some supreme geniuses who felt that they had a chance of obtaining a spot clenched their fists.
Hei Yanlin, who had fought with Chen Zong, was also among the 20 spots. The disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sect who had chased after Chen Zong with a long saber was also among them. His name was Long Zhan.
The 21st spot.
Zhao Xingkong obtained more than 2,900 points.
Zhao Xingkong heaved a sigh of relief at that moment, and his clenched left hand loosened.
As the second supreme genius of the Mountain Flow Prefecture, it would be embarrassing if he could not obtain a spot.
Immediately, the second supreme geniuses of the Heng Jiang Prefecture and Tong Mountain Prefecture obtained a spot.
The 24th spot was obtained by the second supreme genius of the Xuanming Territory, Jian Lingxiao.
After obtaining a spot, Chen Zong noticed that Jian Lingxiao's brows relaxed slightly.
The spots were very important.
Obtaining a spot meant that one could enter the Taoist Competition. If one did not obtain a spot, it meant that one had no chance of entering the Taoist Competition.
The Dao Competition was the key to participating in the Xuanyuan Sacred Assembly.
Chen Zong found that he couldn't help but feel nervous. This was a matter of great importance, so he couldn't help but feel emotional.
The 25th spot!
Twenty-sixth place!
The twenty-seventh spot!
They were obtained by the sky-prides of Mountain Flow Prefecture, Horizontal River Prefecture, and Copper Mountain Prefecture respectively.
The 28th and 29th spots were taken by the local prodigies of the Heavenly Cloud State.
There was only one spot left.
All the prodigies who felt that they had a chance to get a spot started to breathe rapidly.
Chen Zong subconsciously took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
The thirtieth spot!
There was only one spot left, but who knew whose score would be announced?
"The thirtieth person …" After the announcement, the strong cultivator's tone became heavier, and he paused for a moment. His gaze swept across the crowd, causing everyone's hearts to become more and more nervous. They felt that every breath had become longer, and the air was filled with traces of anxiety.
"The thirtieth spot …" That expert seemed to have sensed this as well, and purposely teased them. He repeated his words, making them even more nervous.
"Two thousand four hundred and fifty-two points …" The expert didn't directly announce the name, but instead announced the points.
Suddenly, everyone's expression changed drastically, because they didn't seem to have just two thousand four hundred and fifty-two points.
Chen Zong was stunned at first, and then a touch of joy appeared on his face.
It seemed that he had two thousand four hundred and fifty-two points.
"… Chen Zong."
As soon as the two words fell, a name entered everyone's ears, as if it was the final word.
Great joy immediately surged into Chen Zong's heart, and he was extremely excited.
He … had gotten a spot.
He had gotten a spot as he wished.
"Damn it, how could it be … how could it be …" One of the sky-prides of the Heavenly Cloud State suddenly lost his composure and slashed the ground with his saber, creating a long gully in the ground. He vented his anger viciously.
He had two thousand four hundred and fifty-one points. He was so close, so close.
"Fan Lin." The expert said another name, which puzzled everyone.
"You two have the same number of points," the expert said.
Chen Zong immediately felt two extremely sharp gazes piercing through the air, and they were as cold as the tip of a sword.
It was Fan Lin's gaze.
Fan Lin was dressed in a cyan sword suit, with a cyan scaly long sword at his waist. There seemed to be invisible Sword Qi around him, and his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to contain the tip of a sword.
"The 30th spot will be taken between the two of you," the expert said again. "It's up to you to decide who the spot belongs to."
"My name is Fan Lin, and I'm a core disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sect. Give me the spot, and I'll owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me, and I'll do my best to help you." Fan Lin stared at Chen Zong with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to put enough pressure on Chen Zong. His tone was a little cold, and it was as sharp and direct as the tip of a sword. It was as if a sharp sword had been unsheathed and was about to strike.
It had the sharpness of a sword and the momentum of heaven and earth.
His sharp words were like the sharpness of a sword. He revealed his identity, and with the momentum of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, he was like the momentum of heaven and earth.
Compared to him, Chen Zong was just a sky-pride from outside the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and he was nothing at all.
"You also practice swordsmanship, and we'll see who's better." Chen Zong's response was unexpectedly direct. It was like a divine sword had been unsheathed, and there was no way to beat around the bush.
Why beat around the bush?
In the face of such a situation, Chen Zong couldn't beat around the bush.
He was determined to get the spot.
If he didn't have enough points, he would have to give up. However, he had enough points to get the 30th spot, but there was someone who had the same number of points as him, which meant that there was one more competitor.
If that was the case, then let's compete and rely on our own abilities and means.
Fan Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes. How dare Chen Zong not give him face?
"Very well, you asked for a defeat, and I'll grant you a defeat." Fan Lin smiled coldly, and his words became sharper, as did his gaze.
In terms of words, Fan Lin didn't lose at all, and he was determined to gain the upper hand. However, this kind of forceful momentum had no effect on Chen Zong, and it was useless.
When practicing swordsmanship, the winner would be determined by the sword.
The winner would get the spot, and the loser would be eliminated. It was very direct and simple, and it was also very suitable for practitioners.
In the world of practitioners, the weak were prey to the strong.
As soon as the words fell, Fan Lin's face was full of coldness, and his eyes were extremely sharp. Sharp light burst out like cold lightning, piercing the sky, and it was extremely terrifying. Immediately, he took a step forward.
His steps were very direct, one step after another, and he quickly approached Chen Zong. His momentum was constantly condensed with his steps, becoming sharper and more shocking, as if there was a kind of horror that could tear the world apart.
In the eyes of the crowd, Fan Lin seemed to have become a sharp sword, a sharp sword that could tear the world apart.
Approaching!
Chen Zong looked dignified. This step alone brought obvious pressure to Chen Zong. It was very strong.
This was a very strong opponent.
However, this kind of pressure was still not as strong as that of Hei Yan Lin, but it was much stronger than that of Sima Huanyu.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's strength had improved since the battle with Sima Huanyu, and he was even more powerful.
Without any posture, Chen Zong's right hand fell on the hilt of the Gilded Heavy Mountain Sword, and his five fingers were tightly clasped. The muscles and veins on his arm suddenly bulged, like a python turning over, or a flood dragon coming out of the abyss, instantly bursting out an extremely powerful force.
The sword … came out of the scabbard!
In an instant, a wisp of incomparably heavy and extremely overbearing golden sword light blasted out as if it was shattering space. Although it was a very ordinary sword strike, it emitted a terrifying might that could shatter a mountain.
Fan Lin's expression grew colder and colder. His eyes were like cold lightning that shot into the sky. His footsteps became even faster. In an instant, his footsteps intersected, seeming to bring about an extremely mysterious illusion. Even his body was pulled out into a series of afterimages. In an instant, he dodged Chen Zong's sword attack and almost stuck close to the golden sword light as he closed in.
The sharp sword was unsheathed, and the cloud-white sword light was like the flowing clouds in the sky, and also like the flowing sea. The sword broke through the air to kill.
Chen Zong felt his hair stand on end. The sword light was as high as the clouds in the sky, and also as overbearing as the thunder in the clouds, penetrating and destroying everything.
With a shake of his arm and a twist of his wrist, the extremely heavy Gilded Heavy Mountain Sword was as light as a feather. It was obviously an amazing sword, but in Chen Zong's hand, it was as agile and changeable as an embroidery needle.
The two swords collided with each other.
Suddenly, Chen Zong felt an endless force of the sword, which was both soft and hard, passing through the body of the sword and constantly hitting him. The force seemed to be tearing and shattering the meridians in his arm.
Fan Lin did not feel good, either. The power carried by Chen Zong's sword was really overbearing and incomparable. It was like an unreasonable ancient beast crazily attacking. Fan Lin's face suddenly changed, and he felt that his arm was about to be broken and smashed.
The two swords collided, and they were evenly matched.
"Not bad, you can actually block my sword." Fan Lin took three steps back and said at the same time. Suddenly, his body was filled with an increasingly sharp aura, as if countless Sword Qi were born in his body. In an instant, they shot out and merged into the body of the sword, penetrating the tip of the sword.
"Sword in the Clouds!" A low shout sounded. It was as light and leisurely as the flowing clouds, and it also revealed an indescribable sharpness. The sword drew an incomparably mysterious trajectory, like a rolling cloud, and instantly filled the air towards Chen Zong. Within the flowing cloud, a faintly discernible sharpness was swimming. The moment it approached Chen Zong, it suddenly shot out, penetrating the sun and the moon.
Blood spurted out from the sword!
The blood surged, piercing the sky. It was incomparably fast, and it attacked without hesitation.
The surrounding people retreated and stared at the battle between Chen Zong and Fan Lin. Some of them looked understated, as if they did not care at all. Although the strength of the people approaching Chen Zong and Fan Lin was not weak, for them, it was not enough. They could easily defeat them.
Three moves or one move, that's all.
There were also some who watched with shining eyes. There were also those who were weaker than Chen Zong and Fan Lin, those who were at the same level as them, and those who were only slightly stronger than them.
