Even though he was the center of attention, Duan Long's expression didn't change at all. He still gave off a cold feeling and his eyes were cold as if they could be filled with killing intent at any moment.
Dan Yuanlong's opponent was at the mid stage of the sixth layer of the Foundation Realm. His performance in the first round was not bad, but when he faced Duan Long, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
After revealing a bitter smile, he hesitated and said, "I admit defeat."
Duan Long was known as the Fiend Blood Sword. His sword was stained with countless amounts of blood, and he didn't hold back at all. Just look at his opponent in the first round, Miao Junfeng, who had suffered heavy injuries. His strength was not as good as Miao Junfeng's.
Seeing his opponent admit defeat, Duan Long frowned and left the stage. He didn't even need to make a move to advance to the third round.
The battles continued one after another, giving people a sense of urgency.
It was Ge Kong's turn again. Ge Kong's opponent was a disciple at the early stage of the sixth layer of the Foundation Realm, and his weapon was a long blade.
The sword was the main weapon of the Blue Cloud Sect, followed by the blade, fists, palms, and legs.
Ge Kong's cultivation was only at the late stage of the fifth layer of the Foundation Realm. There was a clear gap between them, so his expression was serious.
With his sword in hand, Ge Kong's eyes became sharp as if he was going to pierce through his opponent.
"Watch my blade!" his opponent roared. His momentum was shocking as he held the long blade with both hands and a snow-white blade energy flew out.
The early stage of the sixth layer of the Foundation Realm surged out and covered the blade, causing it to move at an astonishing speed. Before the blade energy even arrived, the pressure from the blade caused Ge Kong's expression to change slightly. He felt like the air he breathed in had become sharp, as if his lungs were being cut open.
When the blade energy arrived, Ge Kong quickly stepped off the ground and moved around the blade energy. He unsheathed his sword and shot out a ray of blue light.
Under Chen Zong's guidance and actual combat, Ge Kong's cultivation had improved, his swordsmanship had improved, and even his footwork had improved significantly. Overall, his strength had increased tremendously.
This opponent was not someone he could compare to in the first round. He had to use his full strength to contend with this opponent.
Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Ge Kong cast aside his worries about winning and losing, and only wished to display his strength to the fullest.
Activating the fifth level of the Little Green Yuan Art, his true Qi surged, condensing and circulating in his legs and right arm.
The Trance stage Cyan Light Sword Art was also performed to the extreme. The blade could not be seen, only a nimble cyan sword light was constantly shooting out.
In terms of cultivation method and sword art, Ge Kong was better than his opponent, but his biggest weakness was the difference in cultivation level. It was not a small difference, but the difference between the fifth and sixth layers of the Foundation Realm.
The difference between each level of the Foundation Realm was like the difference between the two main meridians. It was very obvious, and unless one was a genius among geniuses, it would be very difficult to overcome.
Even so, Ge Kong used all his strength and fought with the other party for a full quarter of an hour.
After continuously maintaining his peak state for seven or eight minutes, when he finally exhausted his strength, his opponent seized the opportunity and forced him back with a slash, followed by a second slash, and then a third.
After three consecutive slashes, Ge Kong's hand almost couldn't hold on to the sword anymore. He tried his best to hold on to it, but the web between his thumb and index finger split open, dripping with blood.
"Brother Zong, I've disappointed you." Ge Kong was a bit depressed.
He originally thought that after his strength had greatly increased, he would have a good performance in the outer sect competition. He didn't expect to lose in the second round. He couldn't help but feel a blow to his confidence.
"You did very well." Chen Zong smiled and patted Ge Kong's shoulder. "Strength is made up of many aspects, and cultivation is a large part of it. To be able to fight with the other party for seven or eight minutes even though your cultivation is clearly inferior shows your ability. Don't belittle yourself. Stay true to your heart and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
It has to be said that Chen Zong's influence on Ge Kong was very big. Especially after this month, Ge Kong had developed an almost blind worship for Chen Zong.
"Brother Zong, rest assured, I will." Ge Kong was greatly motivated and quickly recovered from his depression. His eyes shined brightly.
Cyan Light Sword Art Liu Zhenji went up on stage, but his opponent directly admitted defeat. Liu Zhenji couldn't help but shrug and helplessly leave the stage.
One of the two sides that went up on stage next was a very strong looking youth. His body seemed to be carved from stone and was filled with tyrannical strength.
Both of his arms were wrapped in black bandages. These bandages weren't made of cloth, but of steel wire. They were of the Common Grade Medium Grade.
His name was Hong Gang.
In the first round, Hong Gang threw out three punches and defeated his opponent. His performance was very good, but compared to other people who only used one sword strike to defeat their opponents, he was somewhat inferior.
However, after the first round, Chen Zong had been paying attention to him.
This person's muscles were well-proportioned and each one of them contained a kind of power different from True Qi. In Chen Zong's opinion, this kind of power was somewhat similar to the strength a cultivator of Blue Waves World's Body Tempering reached the Transcendent Realm.
In addition to his True Qi, Hong Gang also had True Qi cultivation, but it wasn't high. He was only at the late fifth layer of the Foundation Realm.
"Hong Gang, come and fight." Hong Gang's opponent was at the mid sixth layer of the Foundation Realm. His True Qi surged and covered his sword. His eyes flashed as he held his sword horizontally in front of him. His voice was like thunder.
"Fight!" Hong Gang spat out a single word. His momentum was astonishing. He suddenly took a step forward and lowered his body slightly. Like the most vigorous cheetah, he instantly rushed out, giving people the feeling that all the muscles in his body were moving. His speed suddenly increased.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Gang had already crossed more than ten meters and appeared in front of his opponent. His opponent's sword was still in front of him. He didn't have time to react.
It wasn't until Hong Gang was in front of him that his opponent's expression changed. He slashed out with his sword, creating an astonishing whistling sound.
"Break!" With another shout, Hong Gang's right foot heavily stomped on the hard ground of the stage. With a bang, the terrifying power seemed to make the stage shake violently. His right fist was like a drawn bow, stretching his muscles and bones to the maximum extent.
Roar!
Vaguely, there seemed to be a domineering and majestic roar coming from Hong Gang's body. It was the roar of a tiger, like the roar of a tiger in a forest. Chen Zong was slightly startled and frowned. He was somewhat puzzled.
This sound was very faint, like an illusion. It didn't come from Hong Gang's fist, but from his body. It was as if the power contained in his muscles had been stimulated to a certain extent. It was completely different from True Qi.
Feeling the terrifying power contained in Hong Gang's fist, Chen Zong suddenly had a thought.
Could this be the Body Refinement Dao of the Lingwu Holy World?
If that was the case, then just the Body Refinement Dao that Hong Gang had displayed was even more mysterious than the Body Refinement Dao of the Blue Waves World.
Under the majestic and domineering tiger roar, Hong Gang's fist became even more tyrannical. There was also a faint layer of True Qi covering his fist, breaking through the air.
The fist was like a meteor, earth-shattering.
The complexion of Hong Gang's opponent changed greatly. He only had time to move his sword to block the trajectory of the fist.
With a bang, an extremely terrifying power exploded in an instant. The sword bent inwards and directly hit the opponent's chest. The terrifying power surged, and a kacha sound came from the opponent's chest. That was the sound of bones breaking. The opponent was even more so sent flying and vomited blood.
"Good." Chen Zong's eyes couldn't help but brighten.
Hong Gang's punch was a combination of Qi Force and True Qi that was suspected to be a Body Refinement Dao.
No, to be more precise, Hong Gang's fist technique was a fist technique that was stimulated by True Qi. The True Qi from the Body Refinement Dao was only used as a supplement. However, punching still depended on the body. If the body's strength was tyrannical, the punches would naturally be more powerful.
For a moment, Chen Zong was a little more interested in Hong Gang.
"Not bad, this child's Body Refinement Dao is quite effective. He should have reached the sixth level of the Tiger Power Realm." The Inner Sect Elder nodded secretly. "Unfortunately, our Blue Cloud Sect is not a Body Refinement Sect. The Sect also lacks a strong Body Refinement Dao. Unless this child has some other fortuitous encounter, it would be difficult for him to achieve much."
The Blue Cloud Sect was founded on the sword. In terms of sword techniques, they were unique. However, in other aspects, they were more average, especially in the Body Refinement Dao, which was even more lacking.
However, everyone had their own path and fate. It couldn't be forced.
After defeating his opponent with a ferocious punch, Hong Gang's body landed on the ground. His tyrannical aura was instantly restrained, but his muscles still gave people a feeling that they were full of explosive power.
"If there are no accidents, this Hong Gang should be able to enter the top 16." An Outer Sect Elder said.
"If this isn't his full strength, he might be able to fight for the top 10." Another Outer Sect Elder nodded.
"That's hard to say. The current top 10 outer sect disciples have both talent and strength. Other than themselves, no one knows how many tricks they have up their sleeves."
In the midst of the discussion, the next battle began.
Not long after, it was Feihua Sword Ye Xiwen's turn.
When Ye Xiwen unsheathed her sword, the fragrance of flowers filled the air. The flowers bloomed, making people feel as if they were in a garden. They couldn't help but be intoxicated.
Her opponent's cultivation was not as high as hers. Therefore, under one sword, he couldn't resist and was defeated.
It was Chen Zong's turn again.
In the first round, Chen Zong defeated his opponent with only one sword. Many people couldn't see clearly. This round, everyone was prepared. They all stared with their eyes wide open, trying to figure out the reason.
"Don't even think about defeating me with one sword." Chen Zong's opponent said coldly. His feet moved quickly. His body stretched out a series of afterimages in the air. A total of three afterimages followed him, giving people a feeling that it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
The three afterimages intertwined with the real body. They surrounded Chen Zong and gradually narrowed the encirclement.
"This kid's Phantom Steps has been cultivated to the great success level. It seems that he is only a step away from the Transcendent Realm." An Outer Sect Elder nodded.
In this world, the talents of the practitioners could be divided into many types.
Some people's talents were in the cultivation of Zhen Qi. Some people's talents were in the cultivation of Zhen Qi. Some people's talents were in the cultivation of Zhen Qi. Some people's talents were in the cultivation of Zhen Qi.
If you chose to cultivate in the area that you were good at, you would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
