Number one Fang Xingchen, and his opponent was number nine Yu Zhengxiao.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Zhengxiao chose to battle in the sea of clouds. This was a battle environment that was advantageous to him.
"Sky Strike!"
"Sky Crane!"
Without any probing, Yu Zhengxiao unleashed two moves right from the start. The first move opened up a path, and the grayish-white saber light split the sea of clouds apart, causing mist to fill the air. He only unleashed the second move.
The grayish-white crane with a wingspan of over ten meters suddenly flapped its wings and pounced toward Fang Xingchen at an astonishing speed. The crane's beak was extremely sharp, and its claws extended forward as it pounced ferociously, as if it could pierce through and tear apart everything. At the edge of its sharp claws, countless wisps of smoke curled up.
The sea of clouds churned, rising and falling along with the crane. The waves were endless, and they surged toward Fang Xingchen.
Its might was astonishing, as if it was carrying with it the pressure of heaven and earth.
This saber attack had surpassed Yu Zhengxiao's previous standards. It was a highly concentrated attack that surpassed one's limits. Under the pressure from Fang Xingchen and the stimulation of the unyielding battle intent in his heart, this saber attack had finally broken through his limits.
After slashing out with this saber attack, Yu Zhengxiao felt a sense of satisfaction. It was a sublimation of his spirit, but at the same time, a feeling of emptiness rose within him.
A gleam flashed in Fang Xingchen's eyes, like the twinkling of a cold star. He reached out with one hand, his five fingers slightly bent, as if he was holding onto something.
With this one hand, the surrounding space seemed to have frozen, and the churning sea of clouds also instantly became calm.
The gigantic crane attacked, and Fang Xingchen's hand seemed to be expanding and expanding continuously. Then, he grabbed onto the gigantic crane and clenched his fist lightly. With a popping sound, as if some bubble had burst, countless grayish-white wisps of smoke seeped out from between the fingers of the gigantic hand.
Layers and layers of sea of clouds came crashing down, but with a wave of the gigantic hand, they dissipated like a gust of strong wind.
"I admit defeat." Yu Zhengxiao shouted in a very straightforward manner. Instantly, the gigantic hand that was slapping toward him dissipated like an illusion, disappearing without a trace.
Yu Zhengxiao could not help but heave a sigh of relief. It was true that he had the guts to challenge Fang Xingchen, but after his saber attack that surpassed his limits was easily defeated by Fang Xingchen, he became even more aware of the gap between him and Fang Xingchen.
Since that was the case, there was no need to continue fighting. Injuries weren't fun. Although he could recover quickly with the strength of a minor origin realm cultivator, the pain was real.
He wasn't a masochist. Who would want to get hurt for no reason?
"He's too strong," Yu Zhengxiao said with a wry smile as he brushed past Chen Zong.
"Very strong indeed," Chen Zong also responded with a smile.
Chen Zong was number two. After Fang Xingchen's battle ended, it would be his turn.
His opponent was number five, Xu Hongyan, the second core disciple of Zhenyuan Mountain.
Chen Zong still chose to fight on flat ground.
Xu Hongyan held a thin red saber in her hand and slashed down.
Among the secret techniques of Zhenyuan Mountain, there was a Yuangang Technique that was similar to Green Feather Mountain's Yuangang Technique. It was a secret technique that further compressed and condensed one's pseudo spiritual energy. The power of the condensed Yuangang Force would be much stronger than that of pseudo spiritual energy, and it could significantly increase one's battle prowess.
The Yuangang Technique's cultivation was called Yuangang Force. It was a vigorous and domineering Yuangang Force that focused on using strength to suppress others. However, the Yuangang Force cultivated by Yuangang Technique was different. It was light and sharp.
Xu Hongyan's long saber slashed down. As the saber and sword clashed, Chen Zong could clearly feel the power of Yuangang Force. However, compared to his Void Sword Force, there was still a gap. After all, the Void Sword Force was a new force that was formed by merging three types of energy into one.
Slash, slash, slash!
Xu Hongyan's speed was extremely fast. Her body and saber merged together and her figure disappeared. Only a red saber slashed wildly, leaving behind layers of saber shadows that densely covered a radius of tens of meters. Under the pressure of the red saber shadows, the hard ground was constantly split open. Countless saber marks were densely packed, and it was a shocking sight.
However, no matter how Xu Hongyan attacked with her saber or how she attacked, Chen Zong completely blocked her attacks with the sword in his hand.
Other than Lin Bai, the ten people who made it to the top ten all had the strength of the Second Level. Every one of them was not simple. They had their own exquisite martial techniques and attainments, as well as their own unique methods.
The reason why Chen Zong did not use his full strength to easily defeat them was that he wanted to see what they were capable of. He hoped to gain something from it.
The more Xu Hongyan attacked, the more helpless she felt. A feeling of powerlessness grew in her heart. She used all of her methods, but she could not break through the defense of Chen Zong's sword.
Then, she suddenly slashed out with her saber and directly used her strongest move. ‘
Countless red saber shadows came from all directions, densely covering Chen Zong and then devouring him.
Xu Hongyan stood in the distance and stared with a solemn face. She was not sure if her move could defeat Chen Zong.
All of a sudden, a crimson sword light flashed from one end to the other. It was like cutting a watermelon from the inside. Countless crimson sword lights were separated, and a figure walked out. Behind him, the crimson sword lights were dissipating.
This scene greatly touched Xu Hongyan, and her pupils contracted.
"Senior Sister Xu, take this." A light voice like a cool breeze blew. The moment his voice fell, Chen Zong slashed out with his sword.
Dark Strike!
The grayish-white sword light broke through the air. It was extremely fast and incomparably mysterious.
Xu Hongyan only had time to raise her saber to block, but she found that everything in front of her seemed to be moving backward rapidly.
What was moving backward was not the scenery in front of her, but herself.
That sword was unmatched.
Very strong!
Very strong!
Chen Zong won, and Xu Hongyan lost.
In the third round of the second round, No. 3 Lu Yang faced No. 6 Liao Feifan in the third round.
This battle was extremely fierce because their strength was about the same. Lu Yang chose the battle environment not only to his advantage, but also to Liao Feifan.
This battle lasted for an entire half an hour before it ended in a draw. It was because they had exhausted all their strength and were unable to continue fighting.
A draw meant that they could not get any points.
In the fourth round of the second round, No. 4 Tang Zhengming faced No. 7 Shen Hongyue in the fourth round.
It was also a very fierce battle, but Tang Zhengming won in the end.
In the fifth round of the second round, No. 5 Xu Hongyan faced No. 8 Tong Xiuyin in the fifth round.
Xu Hongyan won.
In the sixth round of the second round, No. 6 Liao Feifan faced No. 10 Lin Bai in the sixth round.
This battle was very fierce. Lin Bai once again showed amazing tenacity. Even if he kept vomiting blood, he was determined not to fall. In the end, he defeated Liao Feifan again.
Liao Feifan looked terrible because so far, he had lost three times and tied once. He did not get any points.
Lin Bai, on the other hand, fought three times. Although he kept vomiting blood every time, he won all of them and had accumulated three points.
So far, there were only three people who kept winning continuously. They were Fang Xingchen, Chen Zong, and Lin Bai.
There were also three people who did not get any points. They were Lu Yang, Liao Feifan, and Shen Hongyue.
The others had their own wins and losses.
One battle after another, the second round of the points competition ended soon.
But the battle did not end there. Numbers were drawn again and the third round began.
Round after round, six rounds had passed. Fang Xingchen and Chen Zong kept winning continuously, and so did Lin Bai.
"It seems that the second place will probably be decided between Chen Zong and Lin Bai."
"I think Chen Zong will get the second place."
"Not necessarily. Look at Lin Bai. He kept vomiting blood in every battle, making people feel that he was going to fall. But he won every battle."
"That's true."
In the seventh round, Fang Xingchen still looked good, Chen Zong kept winning continuously, and so did Lin Bai.
In the eighth round.
"Finally, someone's winning streak is going to be ended."
Many people were excited.
It was because Lin Bai was up against Fang Xingchen.
One was the publicly acknowledged number one, the most powerful person. The other was someone who was looked down upon from the start and kept vomiting blood in every battle. Yet, he kept winning time and time again.
How would the battle between them be?
Would Fang Xingchen defeat Lin Bai easily, or would Lin Bai persevere under Fang Xingchen's attacks, keep vomiting blood like before, and win in the end?
"Show me your full strength," Fang Xingchen said. His first sentence shocked everyone.
"What does that mean?"
"Could it be that Lin Bai has been hiding his strength all this while?"
"If that's true, he has hidden it too well."
Instantly, everyone in the spectator stands was shocked and started discussing.
This sounded simply too inconceivable.
"Of course I have to do this when I'm fighting against Senior Fang." Lin Bai smiled, and his gentle voice was like a gust of cold wind.
Hearing Lin Bai's words, the expressions of the people who had lost to Lin Bai changed drastically.
He had hidden his strength!
An indescribable feeling rose in them. In short, they felt very uncomfortable.
This battle was initiated by Lin Bai, so he could choose the battle environment.
Against Fang Xingchen, Lin Bai's choice was especially important. In the end, he chose a valley with a waning moon in the sky.
The waning moon was faint, emitting a cold and desolate glow, illuminating the night. In the valley, there were many rocks, and under the desolate moonlight, it appeared even more lonely.
Lin Bai and Fang Xingchen were separated by tens of meters, facing each other from afar.
Lin Bai raised his arms and pointed his fingers upwards. A cold glow gathered in his palms, turning into two cold waning moons.
The waning moons left his palms and started to revolve around Lin Bai's body. Under the moonlight, they started to divide.
Two divided into four, four divided into eight, and eight divided into sixteen.
A total of sixteen fist-sized waning moons circled around Lin Bai, protecting him from all angles.
Fang Xingchen did not make a move, allowing Lin Bai to make his preparations.
Against Fang Xingchen, Lin Bai did not dare to be careless. He did not dare to be like before. Therefore, he had to make sufficient preparations. Since Fang Xingchen had given him time, he would not stand on ceremony.
When the sixteen waning moons appeared, Lin Bai raised his arms once again, as if grabbing at the waning moons in the sky. Instantly, a large amount of moonlight scattered down, gathering in his hands. The moonlight rapidly stretched and changed, covering his five fingers. Lin Bai's fingers seemed to have turned into ten thin and long waning moons, exuding an astonishing chill. There was also a faint threatening sharpness to them.
Lin Bai had not displayed these techniques before. This made everyone even more certain that Lin Bai had not gone all out earlier. Or rather, he had not shown his true strength.
