"It wasn't Ling Jie who gave up, it was Ling Feiyu..." Yun Che was also surprised. * In the previous battle, Ling Feiyu showed amazing strength. The number of strong men in this group was far less than that in the second group. Ling Feiyu was recognized as the strongest in the first group. Whether it was the 32nd battle or the 16th battle, he easily defeated his opponent within five rounds. In this battle with Ling Jie, everyone thought that Ling Jie should lose, or Ling Jie should give up. No one expected that it was Ling Feiyu who gave up!
"So, Junior Brother Yun's opponent tomorrow is Ling Jie?" This result made Cangyue subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the sixth level of the Lingxuan Realm sounded much less threatening than the ninth level of the Lingxuan Realm.
"Is it because Ling Jie is the son of the owner of the manor, and Ling Feiyu doesn't dare to defeat him in public, so he took the initiative to admit defeat?" Xia Yuanba scratched his head and asked in confusion.
“No! If Tianjian Villa was such a pretentious place, it would not have become the number one force in the Blue Wind Empire.” Yun Che lowered his brows slightly and began to re-examine Ling Jie, who was walking down the sword arena with a smile: “There is only one possibility, that is, Ling Jie’s strength is better than Ling Feiyu, and far better... It seems that there will be a tough battle tomorrow.”
He turned his gaze towards the seats at Tianjian Villa and found that Ling Yuefeng and Ling Yun both looked calm, not showing any surprise at the result.
The second game ended with an unexpected speed and result, and the third game followed closely. The two opponents were Ling Yun from Tianjian Villa and Shui Wushuang from Bingyun Fairy Palace.
This was a duel between the core disciples of Tianjian Villa and the core disciples of Bingyun Immortal Palace. Such a duel used to appear in the final battle, but due to the imbalance in average strength caused by the random grouping this time, this duel that was supposed to appear in the final battle was staged in advance in the eight-person battle.
This duel ended even faster than the second one.
"Wushuang, just give up this competition." Chu Yueli suddenly spoke up just as Shui Wushuang was about to jump onto the sword-fighting arena.
Shui Wushuang was silent for a moment, but did not resist, and said softly: "Yes."
"Three years ago, your Senior Sister Mu was much stronger than you are now, but she was defeated miserably by Ling Yun. Now, three years have passed, and Ling Yun's strength has greatly improved. You simply cannot be his opponent. As long as he is a little more serious, within five strikes, you will be defeated completely. In this case, you might as well just give up."
Chu Yueli said it very calmly when asking the "core disciple" in the eyes of others to give up. There was no trace of reluctance or lament in her beautiful eyes, as if this was just a completely insignificant decision.
"Yes, Uncle-Master, I understand." Shui Wushuang nodded slowly, then sat back in his seat.
Shui Wu Gou then announced: "Shui Wushuang of Bingyun Fairy Palace gave up the competition, Ling Yun of Tianjian Villa won without a fight and will enter tomorrow's four-person battle!"
Although this result has caused a lot of discussion, it is not too surprising. After all, Ling Yun's strength is too terrifying. Even if Shui Wushuang is the core disciple of Bingyun Immortal Palace this time, it is impossible for him to fight. Giving up directly is the wisest choice. But in this way, Bingyun Immortal Palace will only have the last one left, Xia Qingyue, who has the lowest profound strength among the three participating disciples. Her opponent is Xiao Kuanglei, the core disciple of Xiao Sect whose profound strength is stronger than her. If she loses, Bingyun Immortal Palace will not be able to participate in the four-person battle directly, and can only rank fourth.
Up to now, the only match officially underway was the one between Yun Che and Fen Juebi, but three of the four who would fight tomorrow had already been chosen. They were the brothers Ling Yun and Ling Jie from Tianjian Villa, and Yun Che from Cangfeng Xuanfu.
It was not surprising that two people from Tianjian Villa entered the top four, but there was one more disciple who was not from one of the four major sects in the top four, and he was from the Blue Wind Imperial Family, which could only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches in the ranking battle, which made the entire ranking battle extremely unusual. The Blue Wind Imperial Family, which had never shined in the ranking battle, but only had shame, relied on a disciple who was not well-known at all and was only 17 years old to create surprising results again and again and entered the top four in the individual battle. The Blue Wind Imperial Family's power ranking in this battle was already guaranteed to be in the top three! !
Anyone who is not blind can see clearly that after Yun Che defeated Fen Juebi, the usually calm Qin Wushang grinned so hard that his front teeth almost fell out.
“The fourth battle of the Eight-Ranked Battle—Xia Qingyue of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace versus Xiao Kuanglei of Xiao Sect! Participants from both sides are requested to enter the sword arena within thirty breaths, otherwise it will be deemed as giving up the qualification!”
Following Ling Wu Gou's loud announcement, the discussions on the sword-discussing stage stopped and became silent.
Xia Qingyue and Xiao Kuanglei are the last disciples of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and Xiao Sect respectively. If either of them loses, their sect will not be able to be among the top four.
"Although Xia Qingyue of Bingyun Immortal Palace is extremely talented and has already reached the eighth level of the Profound Spirit Realm at the age of seventeen, which is only one level lower than Ling Yun back then, Bingyun Immortal Palace is Bingyun Immortal Palace after all, and it is impossible for them to cultivate a true 'Ling Yun'. She is too young, and her qualifications and experience are too shallow. Her profound strength has reached the eighth level of the Profound Spirit Realm so quickly, so it must be very unstable. As long as there are no major accidents, you will win this battle very easily. However, you must never underestimate the enemy. In previous ranking battles, I don't know how many so-called genius disciples fell into the trap of 'underestimating the enemy'. Do you understand?" Xiao Juetian warned Xiao Kuanglei.
"Third brother, do your best. The Burning Heaven Sect has suffered a crushing defeat. As long as you win this game, our overall ranking will be guaranteed to be in the top three, and there is a more than 99% chance of ranking second. This is a historic breakthrough for our Xiao Sect!" Xiao Kuangyu patted Xiao Kuanglei's shoulder and said solemnly.
“Don’t worry, I will only win this battle and I will never lose! Don’t forget, I have never shown my Jingchen Sword. If I show the Jingchen Sword, let alone Xia Qingyue who is only at the eighth level of the Lingxuan Realm, even if she is at the peak of the tenth level of the Lingxuan Realm, I will not be defeated.” Xiao Kuanglei said confidently.
“We may not have the upper hand in terms of weapons.” Xiao Wuji frowned and said, “We have the Shocking Dust Sword, but don’t forget that Ice Cloud Palace has the Ice Phoenix Jade Silk. Shui Wushuang has already admitted defeat. In this match, Ice Cloud Palace cannot afford to lose even more than we do. This Ice Cloud Palace’s Heavenly Mysterious Weapon will definitely be handed over to Xia Qingyue.”
“Humph, this is totally unnecessary worry. The Ice Phoenix Jade Silk requires at least the profound strength of the Earth Profound Realm to control. Even if it falls into Xia Qingyue’s hands, it can only exert 30% of its power at most. And even if it can really exert 100% of its power, so what? They both have the Heavenly Profound Weapon in their hands. Kuang Lei is stronger than Xia Qingyue in terms of qualifications and profound strength. How can he still lose?” Xiao Boyun said unhappily.
Xiao Boyun was naturally furious that his grandson Xiao Zhen was defeated by Xiao Kuanglei, but now it was related to the reputation and honor of the entire Xiao clan, so he certainly did not want to see Xiao Kuanglei lose.
"Everyone, please rest assured. If I lose this battle, I will not be able to return to the Xiao Sect." Xiao Kuanglei nodded, then jumped up, leaped over thirty feet in the air, and landed lightly on the ground. He jumped high, and once again leaped over thirty feet, landing steadily in the center of the sword arena. Before landing, a long sword had been unsheathed with a whistling sound. Both the momentum of the sword and the momentum of the man were extremely amazing, attracting waves of admiration.
"I heard that Xiao Kuanglei's talent is no less than his elder brother Xiao Kuangfeng and second brother Xiao Kuangyu. I'm afraid there will be no suspense in this match."
"No matter how talented you are, you are still a concubine's son. You can only be an elder at best in the future."
"That's different. Fen Duanhun only has the youngest son Xiao Kuangyun who is a legitimate child, but Xiao Kuangyun's reputation as a playboy is known to the world. He is about the same age as Xiao Kuanglei. It is said that Fen Duanhun has consumed countless resources on him, but he seems to have not even reached the Lingxuan realm. If Xiao Kuangyun inherits the Xiao Sect in the future, it will probably be completely ruined. The Xiao Sect will never do such a stupid thing. The one who inherits the sect master in the future must be one of Xiao Kuangfeng, Xiao Kuangyu, and Xiao Kuanglei. I'm afraid that there will be open and secret struggles at that time, and it may even be a fratricide..."
As Xiao Kuanglei came on stage, the focus of discussion was not on the upcoming battle, but on Xiao Kuanglei, because in the eyes of most people, the upcoming battle would not have much suspense.
“Try to retain your strength as much as possible and don’t reveal too much, so as not to alert your opponent tomorrow.” Chu Yueli only had one sentence to advise Xia Qingyue.
"Yes, Master."
Xia Qingyue bowed gracefully, turned her body, and landed in front of Xiao Kuanglei with her graceful movements. Her movements and figure were extremely beautiful. A transparent ice sword appeared silently in her hand. The ice sword has almost become the iconic weapon of the disciples of Bingyun Xiangong. The main weapon of Bingyun Xiangong is also a sword, but their swords are all like ice and release different degrees of coldness. Chu Yuechan's sword is like this, and so is Xia Qingyue's. However, Xia Qingyue's ice sword is not as good as the one Chu Yuechan used in the death battle with the two dragons in the Death Wasteland.
“Okay!” Ling Wu Gou nodded, then raised his right hand: “The final battle of the eight, Xia Qingyue from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace versus Xiao Kuanglei from Xiao Sect, the battle begins!”
"My name is Xiao Kuanglei, and I am here to learn Fairy Xia's Ice Cloud Art!" Xiao Kuanglei smiled casually, pointed his sword forward, and a layer of rapidly rotating emerald green cyclone rolled up around his body. Behind him, the image of an extremely domineering eagle was looming, and his whole aura was so strong at this moment that it was astonishing.
Frozen Cloud Palace was full of beauties. Although Xia Qingyue's face was covered by a white veil, her figure, eyes, and the snow-white skin that was slightly exposed were enough to tell that she must be a stunningly beautiful girl. In front of a beautiful woman, any normal man with a bit of strength would want to show off. If he could win the other person's favor or even admiration, then his vanity would naturally be greatly satisfied.
Xia Qingyue's movements were much more agile than his. She stabbed at him with her sword, and an ice lotus bloomed gorgeously at the tip of the ice sword.
