Poor Senior Brother Wang had just stepped onto the stage and hadn't had time to stand firmly when the oncoming sky-blue treasure seal knocked him off the stage!
Such tragedies continue to happen.
Every challenger who came on stage was unreasonably knocked down by Jiang Deng using the Peak Master's Seal.
one!
two!
…
nine!
Including Panton, whom she defeated at the beginning, she has won ten games in a row and successfully advanced!
As soon as Jiang Deng thought about it, the Peak Master's Seal returned to her palm and she kept tossing it up and down, as if she was holding a brick.
All the disciples below were excited.
"You're cheating! You're actually using an Earth-grade spiritual weapon!"
"That's right! If a sword cultivator doesn't use a sword, what's the point of using other spiritual weapons!"
"Shameless!"
Facing everyone's doubts, Jiang Deng retorted, "If you have it, you can use it. I didn't tell you not to use it."
Everyone: “…”
If they had this kind of high-level spiritual weapon, they would have gone up and knocked Jiang Deng down long ago. Why would they be shouting here?
"Jiang Deng, the defender of Arena No. 2, has won ten consecutive matches, successfully defending his position and advancing to the top ten. Please proceed to the rest area and wait for the other arenas to select their qualifiers..."
After hearing Manager Zhou's announcement, Jiang Deng ignored the jealous crowd in the audience, stepped down from the stage, and headed straight for the rest area.
Only the top ten players who advance can enter the rest area, which mainly provides them with a place to recuperate and recover to their best condition to prepare for the next game.
Jiang Deng originally thought that since he advanced so quickly, he should at least get first place, but he found that someone had already come in earlier.
It was not someone else, but Lin Jun.
Lin Jun seemed to have just come down from the ring and had not yet had time to sit down. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he turned his head to look at Jiang Deng.
Seeing that it was Jiang Deng, Lin Jun's dark eyes were covered with a layer of coldness. He quickly turned his head away from Jiang Deng, sat in his seat, and began to regulate his breathing.
Jiang Deng snorted coldly, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and sat in the place farthest away from Lin Jun.
Her cheap ex-husband really looks more and more like her eldest apprentice. Just one look at him makes her angry.
Because they disliked each other, Jiang Deng and Lin Jun sat on the north and south sides of the rest area respectively, with a clear distinction between them.
Not long after, the other eight people who advanced also came to the rest area.
The candidates who advanced to the top ten, in order of arrival, are Lin Jun, Jiang Deng, Xiao Yan, Jiang Zhi, Zhou Shan, Ying Ziru, Leng Baige, Jiang Zhiling, Sun Fei, and He Yan.
Inside the main hall.
Looking at this result, everyone was happy.
The sect leader and the direct disciples of the two peak masters of Danfeng and Qianchui Peak all made it into the top ten.
Jiang Roushui was also very happy. Although Xiao Yan was now an outer disciple, he had been his personal disciple before. More importantly, his son Jiang Zhi had actually made it into the top ten! And his ranking was quite high!
Wu Cheng of Wanwanjin Peak was the most speechless.
His direct disciple Pan Tong had originally had a good chance of winning the championship, but he was defeated by Jiang Deng as soon as he came on stage and didn't even make it through the knockout round!
On the contrary, two unknown inner disciples of his Lingfeng actually made it into the top ten!
In his opinion, Jiang Deng was simply trying to make things difficult for him!
Wu Cheng's face looked extremely ugly. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles creaked.
Zhan Ji secretly prayed for Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling, hoping that Jiang Deng could win the first place and Jiang Zhiling could also get a good score...
"Who do you think will be the champion of the Foundation Establishment Realm competition in this sect competition?" Jiang Roushui, the head of Roushui Peak, asked provocatively.
Wu Cheng forced a smile. "I think the winner has to be none other than Senior Brother Song's direct disciple Zhou Shan. I've heard that he's a master of both swordsmanship and weaponry, and is now able to forge a low-grade Xuan-level spirit sword. With such a hardworking disciple like him, who else could win?"
"Not at all," Song Bailian said modestly. "Although I really want to favor my own disciples, the strongest contestant this time is obviously Junior Brother Lin. He was also the first to defeat ten people in a row and enter the rest area."
Yan Zhen nodded in agreement, "I also think Junior Brother Lin has the best chance of winning."
Seeing that everyone was supporting Lin Jun, Zhan Ji was dissatisfied and said, "Jiang Deng has also reached the perfect stage of foundation building. Why don't you think highly of her?"
“Puff!”
I don’t know who laughed out loud first, but then the hall was filled with laughter.
Jiang Roushui laughed and said, "Master Zhan, you are too young to understand. Although Master Jiang and Junior Brother Lin have the same cultivation level and the same amount of spiritual power in their dantian, the strength of the spiritual power between a natural spiritual root and a useless spiritual root is a world of difference!"
"Master Jiang Feng was able to make it through the elimination rounds and into the top ten because she hadn't encountered an opponent with a natural spiritual root. Now, among these ten people, there are three with natural spiritual roots and three with unusual spiritual roots. How could Master Jiang Feng possibly defeat these chosen ones and take the top spot?"
Wu Cheng even said coldly, "Jiang Deng can take first place? Don't be ridiculous. We in the Taichu Sword Sect are all sword cultivators. Ultimately, the competition is about swordsmanship, and she hasn't even taken out her sword yet. In my opinion, she doesn't know any swordsmanship at all!"
Having said this, the others nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Jiang Deng has been growing up in a wild way since she entered the Taichu Sword Sect. No one taught her how to practice sword. How could she know sword skills?
No matter how strong Jiang Deng's body is, the foundation of Taichu Sword Sect is sword cultivation after all. How can it be justified that a sword cultivator does not know swordsmanship?
Su Heng looked at Baili Chengfeng standing beside him and asked flatteringly, "Your Excellency, who do you favor?"
"Um?"
Baili Chengfeng woke up from his daze and said without thinking, "Jiang Deng."
Everyone suddenly showed an expression of extreme horror.
"Sir, calm down! This Jiang Deng is so naughty and unruly that he is truly unfit for this important task!"
"Sir, why don't you look for someone else? Jiang Deng really has no hope of winning the first prize..."
"Yes, yes, Lord Envoy, think twice!"
Everyone spoke out to advise.
Facing the doubts, Baili Chengfeng stared at Jiang Deng in the projected scroll and smiled calmly, "Then we'll just wait and see."
——
At this time, in the rest area of the Foundation Establishment Realm competition area.
Noisy and quiet at the same time.
"Sister Deng, please go easy on us in the next match!" Sun Fei and He Yan both sat over with ingratiating smiles on their faces.
Jiang Deng nodded, "Okay, okay."
Since they were all acquaintances, the four of them sat next to each other and chatted eagerly.
The rest of them were more aloof than each other. Like the introverted Lin Jun, they all closed their eyes and regulated their breathing to recover the spiritual power they had lost in the arena.
Soon, Manager Zhou walked into the rest area and announced, "Congratulations to the ten of you for making it to the top ten! Next up is the points ranking match, which consists of four matches. Those who lose two matches in a row will be eliminated, while those who don't lose a single match will advance to the finals to compete against their opponents for the title of champion."
"Let's draw lots to decide our opponents..."
