Because Jiang Zhiling failed to make it to the semi-finals and still had to compete with others for the fifth place, she had no time to talk and was taking the time to regulate her breathing.
Soon, the two-quarter-hour break passed.
Manager Zhou said, "Jiang Zhiling, since you currently have the advantage in points, you can choose between Ying Ziru and Leng Baige. With one more win, you'll be in fifth place. So, who do you want to challenge?"
Jiang Zhiling looked at Leng Baige and Ying Ziru opposite her.
Leng Baige is in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and should be able to complete the Foundation Establishment Realm easily. It is obvious who to choose.
Jiang Zhiling decisively pointed at Leng Baige, "Him!"
The reason for choosing Leng Baige is not only because his cultivation level is the lowest, but there is another reason.
She could never forget how Leng Baige bullied her sister that day! Now that she had the chance to avenge her previous shame, she naturally wouldn't give up!
Leng Baige sneered, "Okay, I accept the challenge."
"Then let the game begin!"
Following Manager Zhou's announcement, Jiang Zhiling and Leng Baige left the rest area and walked towards the ring.
Jiang Deng was in the rest area, watching Jiang Zhiling's game through the open window with trepidation. It could be said that watching Jiang Zhiling's game was more stressful than her own game.
In fact, according to her idea, she wanted Jiang Zhiling to choose Ying Ziru.
Although Ying Ziru and Leng Baige have different cultivation levels, Ying Ziru has a different spiritual root, which is one level lower than Leng Baige's natural spiritual root, so their strength is similar.
The most important thing is that Jiang Zhiling had never had any conflict with Ying Ziru before, so Ying Ziru might not kill Jiang Zhiling. But Leng Baige is different.
Leng Baige has always hated the two sisters, and might take this opportunity to take revenge on Jiang Zhiling...
But since Jiang Zhiling had already made her decision, it was not easy for her to interfere.
Jiang Deng knew very well that she was just Jiang Zhiling's sister and could only play a guiding role. Jiang Zhiling had to walk her own path in the future.
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Deng stared at Jiang Zhiling on the ring, not even willing to blink.
I don’t know if it’s because she experienced more battles in this internal competition, but Jiang Zhiling has obviously become more mature and stable. This time she didn’t launch an attack hastily, but patiently observed Leng Baige on the opposite side.
On the contrary, Leng Baige was anxious and restless. He seemed to look down on Jiang Zhiling. He didn't even take out his natal sword. He directly controlled more than ten silver flying swords and took the lead in attacking Jiang Zhiling.
Jiang Zhiling easily avoided this series of flying swords.
Leng Baige was a little surprised. The girl who used to be so inconspicuous under the light of Jiang Deng had actually grown to where she is now?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Zhiling reached for the back of her neck and drew out her natal sword, the Edgeless Sword!
The golden light is so dazzling.
Especially when this sword came out, the entire arena was filled with strange sword energy, which was inconspicuous and made people feel no threat at all.
Leng Baige sneered, "Is this your sword energy? It's very ordinary."
"You'll know whether it's ordinary or not later."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhiling performed the sword moves from the "Edgeless Sword Technique".
The first form, the second form...
As Jiang Zhiling used more and more sword moves, it became increasingly difficult for Leng Baige to resist.
Jiang Zhiling silently recited in her heart, the sixth move of "The Edgeless Sword Technique", Edgeless!
The sword no longer shone and became ordinary, as if it was just a casual swing without using any spiritual power, but Leng Baige felt a strong sense of oppression from this attack.
If he still doesn't take it seriously, he's probably finished!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the Dream Return Sword to block, but it was too late...
In an instant, an irresistible sword energy attacked.
Leng Baige was pushed off the stage by the sword energy, and his throat felt sweet. He used all his strength to finally stand firm.
"Jiang Zhiling wins! Ranked fifth!" Manager Zhou spoke in time.
Lost!
He actually lost like this? !
Leng Baige's face was full of disbelief. He actually lost to Jiang Zhiling, whom he had always looked down upon and never considered an opponent?
You know, he has always regarded Jiang Deng as his opponent, but he didn't expect that Jiang Deng's sister had surpassed him without knowing it!
"Yeah!"
Jiang Deng's eyes lit up in the rest area.
She was not only happy for Jiang Zhiling's victory, but also happy that she finally figured something out after watching the game.
No wonder she had never been able to use the sixth move of the "Wufeng Sword Technique", Wufeng. It turned out that it was because she had been too focused on the style of the sword move itself.
Hidden edge, no edge is better than having one.
But that's not really her style.
She kept trying to get closer to Wufeng, but the distance between them kept getting farther and farther, so she could never understand why this move worked.
Now she realized that sword moves are static, but people are alive. She can completely combine her sword intent with this move, even if it is completely different from Wufeng's original intention.
But the power will not be weakened at all, but will become stronger!
After figuring this out, Jiang Deng became excited and couldn't wait to use the move he had learned.
"Sister, I won!"
Jiang Zhiling ran back to the rest area with an excited look on her face.
This was the first time she had fully demonstrated her abilities since entering the top ten, and she was very satisfied with the result! Of course, she also successfully secured fifth place in the top ten.
This ranking can be said to be very high considering her cultivation level at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Jiang Deng nodded, "Well, it's up to Sister next!"
While the two were talking, Leng Baige returned to the rest area in a daze.
Next up is his battle with Ying Ziru, the two will compete for sixth and seventh places.
The competition between Jiang Zhi and Xiao Yan will also take place at the same time, and the two of them will decide the third and fourth places.
Soon, the two games ended.
The competition ended with the victory of Ying Ziru and Xiao Yan.
As the rest of the competitions are over, the finals will begin!
The opponents in the finals are naturally Jiang Deng and Lin Jun, who have not lost a game so far, and the champion will be decided from between the two of them.
"The final begins!"
As Manager Zhou spoke, the five arenas outside began to vibrate and rumble. Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, they gradually combined together to form an extremely large arena.
It’s worthy of being the finals, it’s definitely more interesting than other competitions!
Even if they were just watching the game, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
On the ring.
The robe fluttered without wind.
Jiang Deng and Lin Junyao corresponded to each other, both of them had the same cold and murderous look in their eyes.
They don't seem like acquaintances, but more like enemies.
"Today, you and I will settle our grudges and hatred here." Lin Jun said in a cold voice.
Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Oh? Who has any grudge against you? Who do you think you are?"
A hint of coldness appeared on Lin Jun's lips. "Jiang Deng, stop saying one thing and thinking another. If you don't have me in your heart, why are you still wearing the hairpin I gave you when we were in the mortal world?"
