This time, Ling Chen made up his mind. Since he had come here, he should follow his heart and not be affected by the rules of this place. Following the change in his state of mind, Ling Chen felt that he was about to break through. After saying this to everyone, he went to his own cave and began his seclusion.
Everyone was happy because of this, and Ling Chen's chances of winning the competition would be even greater.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and 3 days passed quietly as Ling Chen cultivated. In these three days, Ling Chen's cultivation had taken another huge step forward, reaching the mid to late Earth Immortal Stage.
After Ling Chen came out of seclusion, he learned about what had happened in the past three days. Ling Chen had never thought that Lu Yun would have such an opportunity to obtain such a God Tool. When Ling Chen saw Lu Yun, he found that his cultivation had already reached the Return Immortal Stage.
The night passed silently. When the sun rose from the east again, the most crucial battle for the top six had arrived. Early in the morning, everyone in Yi Garden got up early in the Heavenly Fire Cave and waited for Perfected Xuan Yu's instructions.
Looking at Ao Xue, Lu Yun, and Ling Chen, Perfected Xuan Yu encouraged them,"Today is the day for the top six to fight for the rankings. This battle concerns the reputation of our Yi Garden in the future. I hope that the three of you can give it your all. Among the opponents this time, the one you need to pay the most attention to is Jian Wuchen from the Heavenly Sword Academy. This time, his cultivation has improved greatly. If you encounter him, remember to be careful. As for your cultivations, we are all quite satisfied, especially Ling Chen. As long as you work hard, there is hope. Now, I won't say anything more. I only wish you success.”
Looking at Ling Chen and Lu Yun encouragingly, Reverend Zi Yang said in a deep voice,"Remember to work hard. You promised me that you wouldn't let me down. I hope you can do it. At that time, not only me, but everyone in Yi Garden will be proud of you. I will always support you and wish you all the best. Do well, the most outstanding disciples of Yi Garden.”Excitement flashed in his trusting eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll make everyone proud of me." Ling Chen said softly. Yi Garden will also become famous because of me. This time, I want the Heavenly Sword Academy to fall from the number one position.”Her gentle voice was filled with determination.
"Who do you think Ling Chen, Lu Yun, and Ao Xue will meet in this competition?" Master Jing Yue asked. This time, the competition list was completely randomly selected. Would the three of them meet each other?”The last sentence stunned everyone. Everyone was thinking about what they should do if such a situation really happened.
" It's hard to say," Perfected Xuan Yu said in a deep voice." There are still opportunities to meet them. After all, we have three of the six people. It's just that we can't tell for the time being." Now, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Let's go to Tianxuan Cave together. He would know the result when the time came. Thinking too much at this moment would instead hurt his confidence.”After saying that, he left with everyone.
In front of Tianxuan Cave, other than Yi Garden, everyone from the other five courtyards had already arrived. This time, the ones who did not enter the top six were Bodhi Academy and Confucian Garden. It was still fine, but Bodhi Academy was a pity. However, the disciples of the Confucian Garden and the Bodhi Academy had also come because they wanted to know who would be the final victor of the battle between the top six.
When Perfected Xuan Yu and his disciples arrived at Tianxuan Cave, Layman Haoyun came forward with a smile and said to Xuan Yu,""Old friend, this time it's all up to Yi Garden. I hope the three of them can achieve good results.”
With a faint smile, Perfected Xuan Yu looked at the people around him and said softly,""Thank you. I hope you don't rank fourth. Everyone is here. It seems that it's almost time. I'll bring the three of them over first and we'll talk later.”After saying that, he brought Ling Chen, Lu Yun, and Ao Xue towards the entrance of the cave.
He glanced at Perfected Xuan Yu and said,"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's start drawing the name list for the competition in front of everyone. This time, there were three people from the Yi Garden participating at the same time. Therefore, it was clear that everything was the same as before. Whoever was drawn would be the one, regardless of whether they were from the same sect. Now, there are six pieces of paper here. Each of the six contestants will write their names on them and place them in a box. I will send someone to pick them.”After saying that, his gaze swept across the six participants.
The three Sect Masters looked at each other and didn't say anything. They each took three steps back and watched quietly from the side. Countless pairs of eyes were watching the six people who had entered the top six. They were all guessing who would be the final victor. Among the six, the one that was most favored was naturally Jian Wuchen, followed by Cang Yue and Ao Xue. Because the three of them were the descendants of the three great divine swords, the might of the divine swords was not something that ordinary people could match.
Soon, after the six contestants placed the notes into the box, they each took three steps back and stood quietly at the side. Looking at everyone around him, he said seriously,"The final round of the Six Campus Martial Arts Symposium will be held today, which is also the ranking battle for the top six. Now, they would randomly draw the names of the participants on the spot. Each group would be formed by two people, and it would all depend on luck. I wish all the contestants the best. I hope that everyone will work hard and strive for the best results. The drawing of the name list would begin immediately.”
As soon as he finished speaking, three disciples of the Heavenly Sword Institute walked up and stood in a row beside the police station. For the sake of fairness, the police ordered the other four sect masters to seal the acupoints of these three disciples at the same time. When everything was ready, the three disciples stepped forward and each took out two pieces of paper. They retreated and stood to the side.
At this moment, everyone present held their breath and was very nervous. The Sect Masters looked even more serious, their eyes filled with anxiety and worry. ** Waving his hand slightly, the first disciple stepped forward and took out two pieces of paper. He read,"The first group is Jian Wuchen from the Heavenly Sword Academy versus Zhang Aoxue from the Yi Garden.”After saying that, he handed the two pieces of paper to the four sect masters beside him for them to read.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Master Jingyue's body trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down. Glancing at Ao Xue, Master Jing Yue sighed and shook her head. Ao Xue's expression also changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. Although such an outcome was unexpected, he had already thought of it beforehand. He just didn't expect to really encounter it. However, this wasn't the worst outcome.
Beside them, other than the disciples of Yi Garden who had solemn expressions, the other two houses all heaved a sigh of relief. He had always been ranked in the Heavenly Sword Court among the six courtyards, and he had finally met him in the first round. Jian Wuchen's strength was something that anyone could see at a glance. Therefore, whoever met him first would be the most unlucky. The first group had already come out. Next should be the second group. The second group was actually the most crucial group because once the second group's name list was announced, the third group would naturally know.
The second disciple of the Heavenly Sword Academy took two steps forward and took out two pieces of paper. He looked at everyone and read softly,""The second group's competition list, Phoenix Academy's Cangyue versus Dao Garden's Wuwang!”This short sentence made the hearts of the remaining three courtyards jump. Especially the people of Yi Garden. They never thought that this time, Master Jingyue was right, and it was the worst kind.
Outside, Perfected Zi Yang and Yun Feng cried out that it was unfair on the spot. As for Ling Chen and Lu Yun, their expressions were calm as they looked at each other. Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent.
Perfected Xuan Yu walked to the side of Perfected Zi Yang and stopped them from shouting. He said softly,""Since we've met, then it's the will of the heavens. Why force it? Don't let anyone look down on our Yi Garden people, understand?”After saying that, he patted Immortal Zi Yang's shoulder.
Beside him, the Danqing Swordsman of the Confucian Garden said softly,""Actually, this is a good thing for you. Although the three of them had a much higher chance of entering the top six at the same time. But at the same time, the danger was much greater than others. But now, no matter what, one of them would win, and they would definitely not lose. Don't you think so?"
As soon as he said this, Sage Zi Yang, Yun Feng, and Li Hongfei fell into deep thought. Danqing Swordsman's words were actually very reasonable. No matter what, there would always be someone who could at least become the third place. That was much safer than taking a risk. It was much easier and safer to want three people to enter the top three at the same time. Moreover, that was also impossible.
"For so many years, our Yang House has only produced Ling Chen and Lu Yun, but they actually fought against each other. Who will win?" Sage Zi Yang sighed. " To others, we've gained a huge advantage, but to us, how should the two of them choose? This will be an extremely cruel choice.”
Perfected Zi Yang shifted his gaze to Xuan Yuzhen, wanting to ask for his opinion, but Perfected Xuan Yu only sighed and shook his head slightly. Lin Yunfeng looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen and said to himself,""This is difficult. How can this be? I support both of them. I don't even know what to say now. Sigh, Lu Yun, it's better for you to settle it yourself. It's up to you to decide who's more important.”
At this moment, the participants had all returned to their respective sects. The competition would be held later. When they parted, Ling Chen looked at Cang Yue and said softly,"Good luck, you will win. I wish you well.”Cang Yue nodded slightly. She looked at Lu Yun and asked,""Then what about the two of you?”His tone was filled with worry.
"I've always wanted to compete with Ling Chen. Let's see who can enter the top three." Lu Yun smiled.”Seeing Cang Yue's serious shock, Ling Chen smiled and said,"Don't worry, I'll be fine. You should prepare for your match first. Good luck." With that, he held her hand and smiled as he bid her farewell.
Returning to the side of the crowd, Lu Yun and Ling Chen both appeared very calm, without the slightest bit of worry on their faces. Perfected Xuan Yu looked at the two of them and asked,""I have no choice but to let this happen. As for who will enter the top three between the two of you, it's up to you. We won't have any objections. No matter who enters, we will be proud of you.”
"Thank you for your concern, Martial Uncle. We already have the results, so it's better for Lu Yun to tell us." Ling Chen said calmly.”Hearing this, everyone in Yi Garden, including the people from the Confucian Garden, all looked at Lu Yun, wanting to know the outcome between them.
Lu Yun looked at the crowd with a hint of calmness in her eyes and said softly,""In this competition, we discussed that Ling Chen and I would compete to see who would enter the top three.”His calm voice was firm and serious.
No one had expected such an outcome. Immortal Zi Yang said on the spot,""How did you come up with such a method? Aren't you weakening your opponents? How are you going to deal with the following matches after entering the top three?”The others were also puzzled. This result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ling Chen calmly said," Lu Yun and I came up with this idea at the same time. Lu Yun and I both want to have a match, but we haven't had the time. Today, we have the chance to have a match.”
"But even if you want to compete, it depends on the situation. How could they use this to compete? This is nonsense." The others also felt that the two of them were fooling around.
"Don't worry, I have a Nine Revolutions Ice Soul Pill here that can instantly recover True Qi. Even if you're injured, you can quickly recover."”As he spoke, he took out a crystal clear medicinal pill that emitted a cold aura.
"Even if it can recover instantly, it's a pity to use it on this," said Immortal Zi Yang.”
"Lu Yun and I have already decided. I hope that everyone can consider it." Ling Chen said.”
Seeing the determination in their eyes, everyone sighed and did not say anything else.
At this moment, the first match had begun. Everyone's gaze shifted to the arena. Jian Wuchen stood quietly in the middle of the arena. Five-colored light flowed around his body as the Heavenly Spirit Divine Sword spun above his head. On the other hand, Yi Garden's Zhan Aoxue was calm. She stood two feet in front of Jian Wuchen and looked at him calmly.
When the police announced the start of the competition, the entire stadium cheered for the two contestants. Jian Wuchen said calmly,""Let's begin. Please make your move." After saying that, his gaze locked onto Ao Xue's figure.
Ao Xue looked around and suddenly said something that shocked countless people. " I admit defeat," Aoxue said calmly." Jian Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Institute will win.”With that, he turned around and walked back to the crowd.
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. They had thought that there would be an exciting match to watch, but they had not expected such an unexpected result. Many people were disappointed. Jian Wuchen looked at Aoxue's back and suddenly felt that Aoxue was not simple. He could face defeat so calmly and withdraw on his own. Without a good state of mind, it was probably impossible.
On Yi Garden's side, Perfected Xuan Yu looked at Aoxue and said,""Aoxue, what happened to you?" The others were also puzzled.
" I believe they can defeat Jian Wuchen at his peak," Zhang Aoxue said." I don't want people to think that our Yi Garden won by trickery."”
The first match ended with Ao Xue's automatic withdrawal. Jian Wuchen had easily entered the top three. As a result, all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy cheered loudly, feeling happy for Jian Wuchen's advancement. After the first match was announced, the second match began.
Her light purple dress fluttered in the wind. Cang Yue's moving figure slowly descended in the breeze and landed gently on the field. Holding the divine sword in her hand, Cang Yue stood calmly on the stage, quietly watching Undeserved Dao Garden slowly walk over.
Stopping ten feet in front of Cang Yue, Wu Wang looked at her and said with a heavy expression,""Junior Sister Cangyue, please. Let's begin.”As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand let out a sword hum and flew out automatically. The green light circled, and the treasured sword flew up around Wuwang's body. In the end, it stopped three feet above his head and kept spinning. As the rotation accelerated, a layer of green light formed a light shield, firmly protecting Undeserved in the middle.
Cang Yue looked at Undeserved calmly. Her expression was calm. The Howling Moon Divine Sword in her hand let out a phoenix cry, and a silver-yellow light instantly filled the entire arena. Her body slowly rose into the air. A dazzling red light appeared around Cang Yue, firmly protecting her in the middle. Above her head, the divine sword, Moonhowl, spun non-stop, like a ball of multicolored light, quietly floating above her head.
On the other side, Undeserved was using the supreme technique of the Dao Garden, the Jade Heart Cleansing Technique, with all his might. His entire body was flickering with a dark green light that was extremely dazzling. The sword above his head spun so fast that the blade could no longer be seen clearly. Only a dark green light belt could be seen flying in the air, like a green dragon roaring in the sky, emitting a powerful strange roar.
The surroundings were completely silent. Everyone was watching this battle of experts. No one knew who would win, but everyone was guessing. One was the most outstanding person in the Dao Garden, Wuwang, and the other was the Phoenix Academy's rare Cangyue. Who was stronger and who was weaker?
Cang Yue's expression was serious as she used Phoenix Academy's supreme spell, Phoenix Nirvana, with all her might. A ball of raging flames surged out of Cang Yue's body and formed a crimson nebula around her in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a phoenix bathed in flames soared into the sky. With a pleasant phoenix cry, it circled Cang Yue for three rounds and stood quietly behind her.
Looking from afar, Cang Yue's figure overlapped with the fire phoenix. Under the illumination of the Raging Fire Red Lotus, she looked like a goddess. The divine sword hovering above his head and the dazzling fire phoenix behind him complemented each other. The scene made countless disciples from various courtyards present reveal admiration in their eyes.
Undeserved calmly looked at Cang Yue and shouted,""Be careful, try my Clear Jade Sword Technique.”As soon as he finished speaking, the sword that had been spinning above his head suddenly stopped and stood upright. A shocking sword qi suddenly erupted from the sword, bringing with it a dazzling green sword aura. With a force that could split mountains and overturn rivers and seas, it slashed down at Cang Yue.
Cang Yue's expression turned serious. She clasped her hands together, and the speed of the divine sword above her head suddenly increased by a hundred times. Due to the high density of the silver-yellow light, it had already transformed into a pillar of light that seemed to be corporeal. It welcomed the sword that was coming at her and slashed out furiously. Two extremely powerful and dazzling light pillars met in the air. The powerful force instantly caused an explosion. Countless streams of light flew in all directions in the explosion like butterflies dancing in the air.
The entire ground shook. The explosion caused by the powerful airflow caused a huge pit to appear on the ground. The scattered zhenqi caused many disciples with weaker cultivation levels to be forced back.
In the air, Cang Yue's entire body was flowing with light. Her body was pushed back 30 feet by the rebound. Behind him, the dazzling fire phoenix was also shattered by the powerful impact. Opposite him, Undeserved was also forced back 30 feet. The only difference was that his face was a little pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. The true energy barrier around his body fluctuated extremely violently. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage under the all-out attack.
He swept his gaze across the people in the Dao Garden and straightened his body. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and a powerful light erupted from his body again. When the dazzling light reached its peak, Wuwang roared and his body suddenly spun. Undeserved crossed his legs and entered a meditative state. Green light circulated around his body and he instantly appeared in front of Cang Yue.
Looking at Undeserved with a heavy expression, Cang Yue's entire body flickered with a powerful red light. Above his head, the Moonhowl Divine Sword spun like lightning, emitting a dazzling silver-yellow light barrier that was firmly distributed around his body. Seeing Undeserved suddenly appear beside her, Cang Yue extended her right hand and cleverly grabbed the Howling Moon Divine Sword. With a flash of light, an incomparably powerful scarlet red sword light immediately slashed towards Wuwang. Just as the powerful sword light was about to slash at Undeserved, the figure that was sitting cross-legged suddenly shook, and instantly transformed into countless figures. Dark green light flashed above the heads of each figure. They formed a sword shape and slashed at Cang Yue at the same time.
In the air, Cang Yue saw that Unexpected had suddenly transformed into countless figures. Her heart suddenly trembled, and her body quickly descended ten feet. At the same time, Cang Yue's body spun in the air. Every time the divine sword in her hand spun, countless golden sword rays shot out. All the sword energies formed a fan-shaped golden sword pillar under Cang Yue's high-speed rotation. It shot into the sky with dazzling light.
Above him, countless dark green sword energies gathered in the air, forming a green dragon. It carried an incomparably sharp and unstoppable aura as it wildly poured down. The two powerful lights, one yellow and one green, met in the air again. Immediately, a dazzling light exploded out, bringing with it countless multicolored lights. One by one, they flew like clouds and petals in the sky above Tianxuan Cave. At the same time, a thunderous boom spread throughout Taixuan Mountain with a powerful explosion.
In midair, even though Cang Yue had already reached the Immortal Returning Realm, her body was still sent flying 30 feet under the powerful explosive force. Her figure kept swaying. Her beautiful face had also turned pale. It was obvious that Unexpected's unexpected all-out attack had injured Cang Yue in a hurry.
On the other side, Undeserved's body was sent flying into the sky, and a bright and eye-catching blood flower floated in the air. In midair, Undeserved's body trembled violently. The meridians in his body were severely damaged, and he fell weakly to the ground. At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were dim, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth. He had already reached the point where he was unable to struggle.
Cang Yue gently landed beside Undeserved. Her pale face had an indifferent expression as she said calmly,""Thank you. Are you okay?" " Thank you," Undeserved shook his head slightly." I'm fine. I'll recover after resting for a few days."”Without saying a word, Cang Yue merely glanced at him before turning around and walking out of the arena.
Sensing Ling Chen's worried gaze, Cang Yue felt quite happy, and she couldn't help but look at Ling Chen with a relieved expression. She smiled like a blooming snow lotus, then turned around and walked toward her master.
Outside the arena, cheers suddenly erupted. Countless Heavenly Sword Academy disciples were cheering loudly for Cang Yue. The experts from the Heavenly Sword Academy, Bodhi Academy, Confucian Garden, and Yi Garden all looked at Cang Yue, considering the final outcome. Cang Yue's victory meant that she had a chance to fight for first place. However, how confident was she in her battle with Jian Wuchen?
On this side, Qixuan Zhenren sighed softly and ordered people to bring back Wuwang while saying to Yu Wushuang,""Congratulations, Sect Master Yu. This time, your Phoenix Academy will once again become famous in the cultivation world.”
With a faint smile, Yu Wushuang looked at Cang Yue and said softly,""You're exaggerating. Cang Yue was just lucky.”Then, countless congratulatory voices came from the mouths of the other sect masters. For a moment, the Phoenix Academy was filled with joy.
Looking at Cang Yue, Yu Wushuang smiled and said,""Good, as expected of a disciple of my Phoenix Academy. Quickly circulate your energy and heal your injuries. Master is proud of you. You are my pride.”Cang Yue nodded lightly. Xu Jie supported her and went back to treat her injuries.
The second match ended with Cang Yue from Phoenix Academy winning. The remaining third match was filled with fog. Would Lu Yun or Ling Chen win? The two of them came out of Yi Garden together, whose cultivation was higher?
