"This gravel … When did this happen …" Everyone stared at the scene before them in shock. They hadn't felt the flow of spiritual power at all, but Blue Dragon had already released his spell.
"You've lost!" Hayashikawa said softly as he stroked the Orange Cat.
A streak of glowing energy flew out from Wang Xing's arm and disappeared into the mark on Hayashikawa's arm. At the same time, everyone realized that the Floating Spirits Heavenly Ranking had changed. Wang Xing's ranking had dropped from thirty-fifth to forty-third, dropping eight places. Meanwhile, Blue Dragon's ranking had rapidly risen to the rank of nine hundred and eighty-sixth, directly entering the top one thousand Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators of the Floating Spirits Region.
According to the rules of the Floating Spirits Heavenly Ranking, you couldn't directly replace someone's ranking just because you defeated them. Instead, the ranking was determined by the amount of energy in the Floating Spirits Hall's mark!
The purpose of this was very obvious. It was to prevent cheating. Moreover, failure could happen because of the slightest negligence. It was obviously unfair to deny all previous successes with a single defeat. Thus, even if Hayashikawa defeated Wang Xing, who was ranked thirty-fifth, his ranking wouldn't immediately enter the top one hundred.
Furthermore, if one really had the strength to do so, it would be very easy for one's ranking to rise. No one would care whether one rose quickly or slowly.
At the edge of the arena, Wang Xing was still in a daze. Everything had happened too quickly, so quickly that he didn't even have time to react before he lost!
Furthermore, he was very clear that Blue Dragon had held back in that attack. Otherwise, that attack alone could've taken his life!
"Many thanks!" Wang Xing struggled to his feet and cupped his hands towards Hayashikawa.
Hayashikawa withdrew his gaze from the Orange Cat and glanced at Wang Xing before nodding slightly.
'The entire Floating Spirit Region seems to have a very strong physical body. Although I held back, if this was the Southern Ming Continent, that kind of strength would be enough to make them unable to get up. But this Wang Xing actually managed to stand up …' Hayashikawa thought to himself.
He had been in the Floating Spirit Region for some time and had come into contact with many cultivators of the Floating Spirit Region. These people generally had one thing in common, which was that their physical bodies were very strong. This kind of strength was relative to the cultivators of the Southern Ming Continent, but from what Ni Huanzhi had told him, it seemed that the entire Floating Spirit Region had the habit of refining their bodies, which was slightly different from the cultivation-focused paths he had seen in other places.
Hayashikawa also learned from the information he received from the Dayin Tower that the Floating Spirit Temple was an extremely powerful place for body tempering. Many people fought for the right to enter the Floating Spirit Temple not only for enlightenment, but also for body tempering.
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Hayashikawa asked softly as his Sharingan calmly swept through the crowd.
"I'll do it!" While they were talking, a young girl walked out from the crowd. Her light green dress accentuated her graceful figure, making it hard for people to take their eyes off of her.
"Zhao Xin`er of the Green Spirit Sect, currently ranked seventeenth on the Floating Spirit Sky List!" the young girl said in a clear voice as she appeared on the martial arts field in a flash.
"Let's begin!" Hayashikawa nodded.
After watching Hayashikawa's previous battle, Zhao Xin`er knew the strength of the person in front of her. She didn't dare to be careless. Her body instantly rose into the air as a large amount of green spiritual power burst out from her body. Then, she formed a seal with both hands.
Buzz!
Countless green vines burst out and wrapped around Hayashikawa. On the ground, a thick layer of green plants spread out. These plants weren't meant to attack. Instead, they inserted their roots deep into the ground to seal off the sand and stones underground.
In terms of strength alone, Zhao Xin`er wasn't much stronger than Hayashikawa. The reason why she dared to stand out at this time was because of the sand and stones Hayashikawa used. This was clearly an earth attribute ability, and the wood attribute just happened to counter the earth attribute!
At this moment, Zhao Xin`er's eruption instantly sealed off the sand and stones that could be controlled underground. Countless roots were deeply embedded in the ground. Whether Hayashikawa's defense or offense, she had sealed off all of them.
However, just as the countless vines wrapped around him, Hayashikawa raised his eyes slightly. His right hand, which was originally stroking the Orange Cat, formed a seal with one hand, and the immortal technique Chakra instantly erupted.
"Immortal Technique — Fire Release — Great Fireball Technique!"
Boom!
The blazing flames instantly filled the entire Martial Arts Practice Field. Countless vines were burned to ashes by the flames. They had no ability to resist at all!
Since Zhao Xin`er wanted to use the wood attribute to counter the sand and stones, then he would use the fire attribute to counter the wood attribute. In terms of elemental counters, Hayashikawa was never afraid of anyone!
This was because as of now, Hayashikawa who had eight attributes was truly uncountable by anyone. Instead, those who thought themselves clever would be completely restrained by his multiple attributes.
Moreover, they were both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if Hayashikawa's immortal technique Chakra was the most ordinary ninjutsu, its power was enough to crush other cultivators of the same level. Although the girl's wood attribute magic was powerful, it was completely useless in front of Hayashikawa.
When the flames fell, everyone was shocked to find that Zhao Xin`er, who was originally in the sky, had been caught in the hand of a huge sand and stone palm. No matter how strong her wood attribute spiritual power was, she couldn't break free from this palm.
"There's no need to struggle. You've lost!" Hayashikawa said softly.
Zhao Xin`er was extremely indignant at this moment. She had originally planned to counter him, but she didn't expect to be countered instead. Furthermore, she had been defeated in a single move. This was something that a proud prodigy like her couldn't accept.
"If you continue to struggle, you'll end up like the person before you!" Hayashikawa narrowed his eyes and said again.
This time, Zhao Xin`er finally behaved herself.
Soon, a streak of energy flew out from Zhao Xin`er's arm and entered Hayashikawa's imprint.
In the sky, the Floating Spirit Heavenly Rankings changed again. Zhao Xin`er's ranking dropped to twenty-ninth, while the Blue Dragon rose to one hundred and seventh.
"A dual attribute cultivator of earth and fire!!! Why have I never heard of such talent before?! "
The surrounding people were already extremely shocked by Hayashikawa's performance. He had attacked twice with such ease that it struck fear into their hearts! Furthermore, the ability that he had displayed had also exceeded everyone's expectations.
After watching the two matches, Childe Remains said softly to the youth beside him, "Yang Ming, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your first place!"
"Whether I can keep it or not, we'll only know after the battle!" Yang Ming said with a solemn expression. Then, his figure flashed and appeared in the middle of the training field.
"Blue Dragon, if you win this match, you'll be able to enter the top ten. Do you dare to accept this challenge?" Yang Ming said coldly.
"You? There's nothing to be afraid of! Make your move! "Hayashikawa said directly. He still had no intention of letting go of the Orange Cat in his hand!
