I didn't expect that this Sun Hui, who looks honest and straightforward, is actually a scheming person…"
"This fellow says one thing and does another. He's extremely unkind…"
"How can you believe the words of your opponent? This Wang Tian is really stupid…"
……
Seeing Wang Tian being swept off the stage so quickly, the audience outside the arena began to discuss animatedly. It turned out that Sun Hui's slap with his sword was fake. The real move was to use his inner strength to shake the spear that he had thrown on the ground. The moment Wang Tian got close, he raised his toes and swept the end of the spear towards Wang Tian.
Before the battle, Sun Hui had deliberately put on an arrogant look and said that he would fight Wang Tian bare-handed. Now, he had defeated Wang Tian with a weapon. Such an action was really lacking. However, then again, he had played this move beautifully. His grasp of timing and the opponent's psychological state were also very accurate. It could be seen that he definitely had a wealth of combat experience. Otherwise, if it was someone else, even if they were stronger than him, they might not be able to win so easily.
"Damn it, you cheated!"
Below the arena, Wang Tian glared at Sun Hui with blood on his lips. His eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
"Heh, cheating?" Sun Hui coldly laughed and said in disdain," Just now, I wanted to be ruthless and point the spearhead at you. You're already dead. This is not a child's game. The battlefield has always been about using all means. If you don't even understand the simple principle of all is fair in war, what right do you have to be a general of our Great Qin Empire? I advise you to get rid of this idea as soon as possible, lest you harm others and yourself!”
" You..." Wang Tian's handsome face turned as red as pig's blood. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't think of anything to say. This was because Sun Hui was speaking the truth. Moreover, the other party had indeed shown mercy and spared his life. In the end, he could only glare at Sun Hui on the stage before turning around and walking towards the resting area. Every contestant had two chances to challenge the ring master. He had to make the best use of his time to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
Following Wang Tian's defeat, the atmosphere in the resting area became silent. Some of the martial artists who were originally restless had temporarily given up on the idea of going up on stage to challenge him. Wang Tian's cultivation base was considered one of the best among all the competitors in the resting area, but he was easily defeated by the arena master of arena No. 16. Although this was mostly due to Wang Tian's own carelessness, no one could deny the strength of arena No. 16's arena master Sun Hui.
At this moment, the only people in the resting area who could maintain a calm state of mind were the contestants who had advanced from the preliminary round, including Chu Ming. Among them, Chu Ming had absolute confidence in his own strength, so there was nothing to be nervous about. As for the other contestants who had advanced from the preliminary round, they had no intention of going up to the stage to challenge. They were all Body Refining Realm martial artists. How could they compete with the Pre-Sky Realm martial artists on the stage? Wasn't that asking for trouble?
Ever since the Martial Examinations had been held for so many years, there had never been a precedent of a preliminary contestant overestimating himself and challenging the ring master. In name, they were the challengers, but in fact, they were just special spectators. They were not much different from the audience outside the arena. After all, the difference between the two realms of Body Forging and Postnatal was too great. Even if all of them worked together, they might not be able to defeat the weakest ring master, No. 16. As the saying went, if it had nothing to do with them, they wouldn't worry about it. Since that was the case, they naturally wouldn't be as concerned as the other contestants.
"What, you don't have the guts to go on stage? Then let me do it!"
After a short while, just as the crowd fell into silence, a bold voice suddenly sounded. Then, an eight-foot-tall burly man carrying a mountain-splitting axe on his back strode out of the resting area. The axe was six feet long and weighed no less than a hundred kilograms. However, it was like a feather on the burly man's back. His movements were not affected at all. With a step, he easily jumped onto the seventh ring.
"Jiang Yuan of Xuan City, please enlighten me!"
Previously, the scene of Wang Tian's defeat when he challenged the last ranked Ring Master No. 16 was still fresh in their minds. Now, Jiang Yuan had actually challenged the seventh ranked Ring Master. This action immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Ring Master No. 7 clearly did not expect that someone would challenge him. When he saw Jiang Yuan go up the stage, he could not help but be slightly stunned. However, he quickly reacted and sneered,"Heh, you actually dare to challenge me directly. It seems that you are very confident in your own strength. However, if you want to seize the position of Ring Master No. 7, I'm afraid you're still a little lacking!”
Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and picked up the big axe on his back. He weighed it twice and said in a muffled voice,"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm inferior or not. Cut the crap. If I can't take you down in three moves, I'll admit defeat!”
"Haha, defeat me in three moves? Dream on!" Ring Master No. 7 was so angry that he laughed. Before he could finish his sentence, the long saber in his hand shook. The sharp tip of the saber brought with it a whooshing sound as it instantly streaked across a distance of several feet and slashed at Jiang Yuan's head.
"Ha!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly shouted in a low voice. He held the battle axe with both hands and suddenly slashed it vertically. A violent sonic boom suddenly sounded in the air!
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
The spectators outside the arena could only see three blurry blood-red axe shadows. Then, a long saber left Ring Lord No. 7's right hand and flew up. Ring Lord No. 7 himself was struck heavily on the chest by the surface of the huge axe.
"Puff!" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ring Master No. 7 was sent flying out of the ring.
"Hiss ~ He actually only used three moves…"
"This Jiang Yuan is so strong…"
"I thought he was an arrogant fellow, but I didn't expect him to be so capable…"
Outside the arena, a wave of exclamations could be heard.
"Everyone, whoever wants to challenge me, come at me!”On the arena, Jiang Yuan carried the battle axe on his shoulder, showing his might.
Ring Master No. 7 struggled to stand up from the ground. He looked at his palm with lingering fear. There were already several bloody wounds on his palm. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan had left some leeway at the critical moment. Otherwise, he would probably have lost his life.
"A battle-ax filled with killing intent, fast and ruthless!”Chu Ming, who was in the resting area, naturally saw this battle. He had seen Jiang Yuan's three consecutive slashes clearly. His moves were simple and swift, and every axe hit his opponent's weak point. The most rare thing was the indomitable and murderous aura!
Chu Ming was sure that Jiang Yuanjue was a warrior with rich experience in fighting and killing. The moment he swung his axe, his killing intent was too strong.
"This person can barely be considered an opponent!”For a moment, Chu Ming was interested in Jiang Yuan. This kind of strength was enough to make him take it seriously. Of course, that was only for now. Once Chu Ming completed the second phase of the novice mission and received his reward, he would have no trouble defeating him.
……
Perhaps it was because Jiang Yuan's victory had aroused the fighting spirit of the other contestants, but a few more contestants challenged the arena champion in succession. Of course, these challengers didn't have the courage to directly challenge the strength of the first few ring masters like Jiang Yuan. Their targets were all the ones ranked at the bottom. Unfortunately, even the weakest Ring Masters were not their match. In the end, none of these challengers succeeded and all of them were defeated.
Then, the challenge continued.
As the number of battles increased, the last few Ring Masters finally could not withstand the pressure of continuous battles. The positions of the Ring Masters also changed continuously. However, anyone had two chances to challenge. Even if they were defeated once, they could still snatch it back. This made the competition even more intense. It wasn't until more than two hours later that this fierce battle gradually began to come to an end.
After a fierce competition, four of the sixteen rings had new faces. They were the seventh ring, the twelfth ring, the fourteenth ring, and the fifteenth ring. Sun Hui, the ring master of the sixteenth ring, who was ranked last, persevered, while the original ring master of the seventh ring stood on the twelfth ring. Putting aside the preliminary contestants, at this moment, basically all the contestants had used up their challenge times. A few contestants who still had the right to challenge once were also unable to fight again because they had suffered serious injuries in their first challenge. If nothing unexpected happened, the 16 arena lords 'positions could be considered settled.
Of course, that was impossible because Chu Ming hadn't made a move yet!
"It's time to go on stage!"
In the resting area, Chu Ming slowly stood up, picked up his sword, and walked into the arena.
"Eh? Did I see wrongly? This person seems to have walked out from the group of preliminaries, right?”
"What kind of joke is this? A contestant from the preliminaries dares to jump out? Isn't he overestimating himself?”
" You guys don't know this, but this kid is called Chu Ming. He did make a name for himself in the preliminaries yesterday. However, the preliminaries and the Challenger League aren't the same thing. This kid doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth…"
" Pfft! I think this guy is just looking for humiliation…"
……
With Chu Ming's appearance, the crowd outside the arena immediately became lively. All kinds of mocking and disdainful discussions could be heard. Not only that, but the other players in the resting area also looked at him in shock, and their mockery was obvious.
Unlike the crowd's reaction, Yan Ju's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Ming appear. He turned his head and said to Marquis Tianwu beside him,""Lord Wu Hou, this is the person I recommended to you earlier!”
"Oh? Is that him?"
Marquis Tianwu perked up slightly and began to size up Chu Ming.
"Commander Yan must have misjudged this time, right?”
At this moment, the black-armored man sitting on the other side frowned and said,"As a contestant of the preliminaries, he dares to challenge the arena. This kid is quite courageous. However, look at him. He actually skipped the few arenas behind him and directly challenged the champion of the fifth arena. With such behavior, should I say that he thinks too highly of himself or is he trying to please the public?”
