Chapter 51: Fighting for First Place
Elder Qin Feng stood on the stage and continued, "The third round of competition has officially begun. Please invite disciple number three to the stage to compete."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yi from the Qingxin School flew onto the stage, and Gu Qinghan also went up at the same time.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Du Xiaoxiao shouted, "Come on, Senior Brother Qinghan!"
Gu Qinghan didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded in response to her.
Jiang Yi clasped his fists and saluted, "I am Jiang Yi from the Qingxin Sect."
"I am Gu Qinghan from the Xuanjian Sect."
After the two greeted each other, they started the competition.
Gu Qinghan summoned a heavy sword. The sword was silver-white in color and engraved with intricate patterns. The heavy sword, which was nearly one person tall, seemed to be weightless in his hand.
At the same time, Jiang Yi also drew out a emerald green long sword from his waist. The sword had a slender body and a sharp blade, and there was a dragon pattern engraved on it.
The two sides clashed, sword energy was flying, the harsh sound of metal collision resounded through the sky, and silver and emerald green sword shadows intertwined in the air.
Gu Qinghan slashed Jiang Yi's emerald green sword with his heavy sword, causing bursts of sound of metal clashing. Sparks flew, and a white sword mark was left on the hard sword body.
With one heavy blow after another, Jiang Yi was forced to retreat step by step, and the sword in his hand was knocked to the ground.
"I give up." Jiang Yi accepted defeat sincerely. He was much stronger than himself.
Gu Qinghan retracted his heavy sword: "Thank you."
"You are very strong, but I will catch up with you." Jiang Yi said with a firm face.
Gu Qinghan nodded and smiled: "I am looking forward to the next duel with you. I had a lot of fun sparring with you today."
"Haha... This is also the first time I've had so much fun fighting." Jiang Yi laughed heroically.
The two felt that they had met too late, so they agreed to fight again when they have time.
Great Elder Qin Feng had not expected that they would call each other brothers, and he quickly said, "Gu Qinghan wins, and the fourth round will begin next."
Ye Tianyu came to the arena and handed the token to Great Elder Qin Feng. Then Ling Yi from Jiutian Sect also flew onto the arena and handed over his own token.
Ye Tianyu said gently: "I am Ye Tianyu, a disciple of Wanyou Sect. Please give me your guidance."
Ling Yi clasped his fists and saluted, "I am Ling Yi, a disciple of Jiu Tian Sect. Please teach me, Brother Ye."
When the two men finished their conversation, they drew their swords and began the contest.
The two men brandished the long swords in their hands, and the sword light slashed towards each other like lightning, and the cold light emitted by the sword body flashed so brightly that it was blinding. Sword energy slashed towards the sky, like a sharp blade, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.
The duel scene was extremely intense, the two men fought crisscrossly, their sword moves were sharp, and their bodies were agile. They danced with the swords in their hands, using all kinds of unique sword techniques, both offensive and defensive. When the swords collided, a series of clanging sounds were made, which was heart-stirring.
Ye Tianyu, dressed in a white robe, was graceful and sharp. He leaped up, and the long sword in his hand drew an arc in the air and slashed towards Ling Yi fiercely. Ling Yi raised the sword in his hand to block it, and the sword made a crisp sound. He groaned and knelt on one leg on the ground.
Ling Yi looked up and said helplessly: "I lost."
Ye Tianyu put the sword back on his back and stretched out a hand in front of him.
Ling Yi held his hand and was pulled up by Ye Tianyu: "You are very strong. If you hadn't shown mercy, I would have been seriously injured."
"Brother Ling, you are too kind. You are actually very strong." Ye Tianyu said gently.
"Haha... compared to you, I'm still a little bit behind." Ling Yi shook his head.
Ye Tianyu comforted him: "It's okay, there is still a long way to go, we can still exchange martial arts skills."
"Okay." He smiled.
Qin Feng, the great elder of Wanyou Sect, looked at his sect's disciples' victory with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Ye Tianyu won the fourth round, and the fifth round begins."
Looking at Mo Jingxuan's dazzling appearance, it turned out that the protagonist is always the last to appear, and his opponent is Mu Yunye. The male protagonist versus the male supporting role, Xiao Liyue didn't have to guess who would win or lose.
Mu Yunye smiled kindly, "Brother Mo, long time no see. I didn't expect to fight with you. It's really exciting."
"Yeah! I'm also looking forward to fighting with you." Mo Jingxuan said coldly.
"Hehe... let's start!" Mu Yunye felt his coldness and his eyes instantly became cold.
Mu Yunye's light blue figure was as light as a young swallow. He quickly drew out the green sword from the scabbard, gently rotated his wrist, and with the sword flashing, he quickly approached Mo Jingxuan.
Mo Jingxuan was not at all panicked when seeing this. He raised the black sword in his hand and rushed forward. The two swords clashed, emitting a strong sword wave that shuttled through the entire arena, shocking everyone sitting below the arena. The two men had such powerful sword energy.
For a while, the two fought fiercely, and in a blink of an eye they had fought for hundreds of rounds. Mo Jingxuan swung his sword, and the dazzling sword light shot straight down. The sword danced faster and faster, like a black dragon flying up and down, circling around him left and right.
His sword moves were as violent as a mountain torrent and as fierce as a storm, making Mu Yunye unable to resist.
With a "clang" sound, the sword in Mu Yunye's hand was knocked to the ground by him, and the man lost.
No matter how unwilling Mu Yunye was, he had no choice but to admit defeat. "I admit defeat."
Mo Jingxuan nodded and said, "Thank you."
Mu Yunye said nothing and turned to leave the ring.
Liu Ruxi, who was standing in the ring, looked at Mo Jingxuan with joy. This was the man she wanted to marry.
"The five finals have ended. The top five winners are Xiao Liyue, Liu Ruxi, Gu Qinghan, Ye Tianyu, and Mo Jingxuan. Next is the final duel for the first place. You can give up the competition for the first place, or choose an opponent to compete with. The winner will be the first place."
Ye Tianyu said in a gentle voice: "I give up the fight for the first place, please do as you please."
Liu Ruxi looked at Xiao Liyue. Although she really wanted to challenge her to a fight, since they were from the same sect, if she challenged her, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the great elders. Moreover, she believed that Mo Jingxuan could get the first place, so there was no need for her to compete for the first place next time.
So she also said: "I will also give up the fight for the first place."
Now two people have given up the competition for the first place, only Mo Jingxuan, Gu Qinghan and Xiao Liyue have not spoken.
Gu Qinghan looked at Mo Jingxuan. Of course he wanted to compete for the first place, so he said, "I challenge Mo Jingxuan."
When everyone thought that Mo Jingxuan was already number one, everyone present became excited and whispered to each other when they heard him say that he wanted to challenge Mo Jingxuan.
"What a bold move! Gu Qinghan has an ice-type spiritual root, versus Mo Jingxuan has a wind-type spiritual root. Who do you think will win first place?"
"I don't know, they all look very strong!"
"They are both so handsome! I am really looking forward to seeing the duel between these two geniuses, it will definitely be exciting." A woman said with an obsessed look on her face.
"Hmm... I heard that the two are of similar age and have similar cultivation levels, but I wonder who will be more advanced?"
"You'll know after you see it."
Mo Jingxuan saw someone challenging him: "Okay, I accept the challenge."
Xiao Liyue and others retreated from the stage and gave it to the two of them.
When the two were fighting fiercely, Gu Qinghan's swordsmanship had obviously improved to a higher level, and Mo Jingxuan was obviously unable to withstand his heavy sword combos.
Although he had to admit that Gu Qinghan was very strong, how could he easily admit defeat when he had never experienced failure? So Mo Jingxuan quickly summoned his pet Aotian.
