"Without a doubt, the champion of this year's Matchless Sword Battle is Chen Zong."
"Unbelievable."
"Big dark horse, a super dark horse."
After Ye Jing Feng lost, all sorts of discussions arose one after another. None of them tried to hide it, but the disciples of the Jinghong Sword House had ugly expressions on their faces.
In the past Matchless Sword Battles, the champion had always been a disciple of the Jinghong Sword Sect. As for the second place, sometimes it was a disciple of the Jinghong House, but most of the time, it was the disciples of the Jinghong House. The third place was usually a disciple of the Jinghong Sword Sect.
It could be said that in the top ten, at least four or more disciples of the Jinghong Sword Sect were in the top ten.
But this time, there was an exception.
Chen Zong defeated Ye Jingfeng. In the eyes of the crowd, Chen Zong was undoubtedly the champion, because no one else could be compared to Chen Zong.
The ninth round of battles began in the midst of the crowd's discussions.
Chen Zong's opponent was defeated in one strike, while Ye Jingfeng defeated his opponent.
After one battle after another, the Matchless Sword Battle came to an end. It ended with an ordinary battle.
It was clear who was the champion, the runner-up, and the runner-up.
"This year's Matchless Sword Battle has come to an end. Now, I will announce the ranking." An elder of the Jinghong Sword Sect announced loudly. All the discussions quieted down. Even though the crowd already knew the ranking, it was more direct to hear it from an Extreme Mortal Realm warrior.
"Tenth place, Yang Fan of the Jinghong Sword Sect."
Everyone's gaze landed on Yang Fan's face. However, Yang Fan's face was expressionless. Although Tuo Yingxiu was ranked in the top ten among the thousands of people, he, who was ranked tenth, had been defeated consecutively. He had not won a single battle in the entire competition.
The tenth place was the most embarrassing. It felt like he had given it away.
Of course, Yang Fan was not happy, nor did he have any sense of honor. He had lost nine battles in a row. There was nothing to be happy about.
"Ninth place, Long Chang Yun of the Jinghong House."
Long Chang Yun's face was bitter. He had defeated Yang Fan with great difficulty. That was his only victory, which was only slightly better than Yang Fan's. There was nothing to be proud of.
"Eighth place, Long Xuan Wu of the Jinghong House."
Compared to the previous competition, the Dragon Swirling Dance had improved by one rank.
"Seventh place, Li Shiyun from the Wan Luo Sect."
Compared to the previous year, Li Shiyun was still in the same place. However, Li Shiyun was still brooding over the fact that he was defeated by Chen Zong. This was because a disciple of the Wanluo Sect was severely injured by Chen Zong.
"Chen Zong, you're really good at swordsmanship, but after we leave here …" Li Shiyun glanced at Chen Zong with a hint of killing intent.
"Sixth place, Pure Grace Mansion's Long Xuanyi."
Long Xuanyi's face was not looking too good. In the last Matchless Sword Competition, he was ranked fifth, but this time, he was ranked sixth.
"Fifth place, Graceful Sword Sect's Tang Yan."
Tang Yan didn't look too good either because she had taken a step back.
"The fourth is Qin Yi of the Xuanzhen Palace."
There was a smile on Qin Yi's face. He was the seventh in the last session, and this session he was directly promoted to the fourth. The progress is not small.
"Third place, Li Qingliu of the Eternal Sky Sword Sect."
Li Qingliu's face was calm. This was his first time participating in the Matchless Sword Competition, and he was not famous before. Now, he was ranked third, and from then on, he was famous in the Graceful Sword Competition.
"Second place, Ye Jingfeng of the Graceful Sword Sect."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Jingfeng's face. Without a doubt, Ye Jingfeng had improved by one rank compared to the previous competition. However, Ye Jingfeng was not happy at all because at the beginning, he was determined to get first place, but in the end, he only got second place.
"First place, Chen Zong of the Unhindered Sword Sect."
When he said the last name, the elder of the Graceful Sword Sect was also a bit emotional.
For the first time, the first place of the Matchless Sword Competition was won by someone outside the Graceful Sword Sect. If it was won by someone from the Graceful Sword Sect, it would be reasonable. After all, the Graceful Sword Sect was also very powerful.
However, the first place was won by a disciple from one of the four lower ranked Sects of the Tianjiang Prefecture, the Unhindered Sword Sect. The Unhindered Sword Sect was one of the weakest ranked Sects in the Tianjiang Prefecture.
However, the truth was the truth. Chen Zong's sword skills did not rely on any tricks. He defeated his opponents one by one, and even defeated Ye Jingfeng. With his outstanding skills, he took first place.
"The top ten will all receive rewards."
"The rewards for the fourth to the tenth place are the same. Other than receiving one-on-one guidance from any of the ten Extreme Mortal Stage warriors, they will also receive a second level Pseudo Spiritual Sword and three Real Elixir Pills."
This kind of reward was neither good nor bad, depending on the person.
If it was for the top ten, this kind of reward was really nothing. It was just icing on the cake. Only the one-on-one guidance from the Extreme Mortal Stage warriors was more useful. However, for the rest of the people, whether it was the second level Pseudo Spiritual Sword or the three Real Elixir Pills, they were all very attractive. As for the one-on-one guidance from the Extreme Mortal Stage warriors, it was even more tempting.
"The reward for the third place is a second level Pseudo Spiritual Sword and ten Real Elixir Pills. In addition, you can become the disciple of any of the ten Extreme Mortal Stage warriors."
A second level Pseudo Spiritual Sword was nothing, but ten Real Elixir Pills were very tempting. However, when the last sentence was said, everyone was stunned.
Become the disciple of an Extreme Mortal Stage warrior?
One had to know that the Extreme Mortal Stage warriors were warriors who surpassed the Extraordinary Mortal Stage. They would not easily accept disciples. To be accepted as a disciple by an Extreme Mortal Stage warrior meant that they would be able to receive guidance frequently. It was more than ten times better than just receiving guidance once.
"Li Qingliu, are you willing to become the disciple of any of the ten Extreme Mortal Stage warriors?" The elder of the Jinghong Sword Sect stared at Li Qingliu and asked.
This was not as simple as becoming the disciple of an Extreme Mortal Stage warrior. One had to know that of the ten Extreme Mortal Stage warriors present, seven of them were elders of the Jinghong Sword Sect, and three of them were from the Jinghong House. Behind them were the Jinghong Sword Sect and the royal family.
Becoming their disciple was equivalent to joining them. The protection they would receive would be completely different.
Everyone's gaze fell on Li Qingliu's face, waiting for his decision.
What path to take?
At that moment, Li Qingliu hesitated.
After becoming their disciple, there was no doubt that he would have to leave the Eternal Sky Sword Sect and become a disciple of the Jinghong Sword Sect. That would bring him a better cultivation environment, but he would have to leave the Eternal Sky Sword Sect that had helped him cultivate.
One was related to his own development, while the other was related to his relationship with the Sect.
In the end, Li Qingliu's eyes showed a trace of determination. Everyone knew that he had made a decision.
"I am willing to become the disciple of the Third Elder." Li Qingliu said with a determined tone.
The Third Elder of the Jinghong Sword Sect was the one who had spoken earlier.
"Good. After the Unparalleled Sword Battle ends, you can follow me back to the Sect for the ceremony." The Third Elder nodded with satisfaction, his face full of smiles.
Without a doubt, Li Qingliu was a very outstanding martial artist. He had a great talent in the sword, and was not inferior to Ye Jingfeng.
On the contrary, when they heard Li Qingliu's words, the Eternal Sky Sword Sect disciples' faces darkened. Some of them were even furious.
However, it was inevitable that people would want to climb higher. The strength of the Jinghong Sword Sect was not something that the Eternal Sky Sword Sect could compare to.
Since Li Qingliu had made his choice, there was no turning back.
"Ye Jingfeng, your reward is a second-level Pseudo Spiritual Sword and ten True Alchemy Pills. In addition, you will receive guidance from Patriarch Tian Hong three times."
The crowd was even more shocked.
Forefather Tian Hong was a master of the Earthly Spirit Realm. It was already a dream to be taught by him once, let alone three times. This was even more shocking than being accepted as a disciple by a master of the Extreme Mortal Realm. The reason for this reward was because Ye Jingfeng was already a disciple of the Fleeting Sword Sect, and he had a master of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
Lastly, the focus was on Chen Zong.
First place.
The rewards for the third and second place were already so shocking. What about the first place?
Chen Zong was also looking forward to it.
What kind of reward would he get?
Would he also get ten True Alchemy Pills?
Chen Zong had taken the True Alchemy Pills before, and the effects were very obvious. It increased his cultivation by a lot. At that time, the Founding Elder Yuan Lingzi seemed to have spent a lot of effort to get it. However, it was used as a reward in the Unparalleled Sword Battle. It was enough to show that the Jinghong Sword Sect and the Imperial Family were very powerful.
"Chen Zong, congratulations on getting first place in the Unparalleled Sword Battle." The Third Elder of the Jinghong Sword Sect said with a complicated tone, "Your first reward is also a Level Two Pseudo Spiritual Sword, and your second reward is also ten True Alchemy Pills …"
These two rewards were the same as Ye Jingfeng and Li Qingliu's. The Level Two Pseudo Spiritual Sword did not matter to Chen Zong, but the ten True Alchemy Pills could increase his cultivation.
Other than these two rewards, there should be other rewards that were better than Li Qingliu's and Ye Jingfeng's.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Third Elder of the Jinghong Sword Sect, waiting for him to speak. However, the Third Elder did not speak, which shocked everyone.
Could it be that there were no more rewards?
This did not make sense.
"Chen Zong."
At this moment, Patriarch Tian Hong opened his mouth, and everyone's eyes shifted to him.
"Are you willing to be my disciple?"
As Patriarch Tian Hong's words fell, it was as if a bolt from the blue had struck their heads. Everyone was stunned.
An Earthly Spirit Realm master actually took the initiative to accept a disciple.
Unbelievable!
Ye Jingfeng's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of shock. As one of the most important disciples of the Jinghong Sword Sect, he knew very well that the two Earthly Spirit Realm ancestors had not accepted a disciple for hundreds of years, because there were not many who could catch their eye.
Even the current number one disciple of the Jinghong Sword Sect was not qualified.
For a moment, countless shocked gazes fell on Chen Zong's face.
To be honest, it was impossible for Chen Zong not to be moved.
"Senior, if I become your disciple, will I have to leave the Unparalleled Sword Sect?" Chen Zong's rationality suppressed his impulse, and he asked.
"Of course." Without waiting for Patriarch Tian Hong's reply, the Third Elder of the Jinghong Sword Sect directly replied, "The Jinghong Sword Sect is many times better than the Unparalleled Sword Sect in terms of resources and heritage. If you become our disciple, you will receive the most important training in the Jinghong Sword Sect."
Hearing this, Chen Zong fell silent.
