An hour later, the second round of the championship began.
After the first round of the top eight battles, the previous few Ring Masters who were ranked at the bottom had basically been eliminated. Only two of the last eight Ring Masters entered the second round. However, it was worth mentioning that the last ranked Ring Master, Jiang Yuan, was one of these two. Of course, Jiang Yuan was able to enter the second round not because of his outstanding strength, but because he was lucky enough to face Ring Master No. 15. After a difficult battle, he barely advanced. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be eliminated in this round.
"The second round of the championship competition begins. May the previous winners, number one and two, come on stage!”
As soon as Yan Ju finished speaking, Chu Ming walked onto the stage with his sword in hand. At the same time, another young man in green robes also quickly jumped onto the stage. It was precisely Ring Master No. 10, who had defeated Ring Master No. 13 in the previous round and advanced.
"I know I'm not your match, but I still want to try and see how many moves I can take from you!”On the stage, the tenth ring master looked at Chu Ming with a solemn expression.
"As you wish!"
Without wasting any words, Feng Dan held his sword and approached Ring Master No. 10 step by step.
Flash!
Of course, Ring Master No. 10 couldn't fight Chu Ming. He stomped his foot and disappeared from the ring. Obviously, he wanted to use his movement technique to fight Chu Ming.
However, he still underestimated Chu Ming's strength.
"Whoosh-"
Most of the audience didn't even see clearly when Ming made his move. They only saw a flash of silver-white light.
In the next moment, Ring Master No. 10's figure appeared. The clothes on his chest had been torn open, and a long and narrow blood trail extended from the left side of his chest to his waist.
Ring Master No. 10 was defeated in one move.
"Thank you so much!"
Feeling the pain coming from his chest, Ring Master No. 10 cupped his hands at Chu Ming with a bitter expression and then walked down the ring dejectedly. He knew very well that Chu Ming had gone easy on him. Otherwise, if he had used a bit more strength, he would have been severely injured or even killed.
The defeat of Ring Master No. 10 was not out of everyone's expectations. After all, the strength displayed by both sides in the previous round could clearly be seen. If Ring Master No. 10 won, it would be surprising. However, Chu Ming's performance in defeating his opponent in one move made the audience look forward to seeing this " dark horse ".
Soon, the second round of the semifinals began.
This time, the arena was occupied by Ring Master No. 3, Zhao Gang, and Ring Master No. 6, Jiang Yuan. Ring Master No. 16, Jiang Yuan, was ranked last in terms of cultivation, but his strength was not bad. Coupled with his good luck, he managed to enter the top eight as the last in the top 16. Unfortunately, his luck had come to an end when he met the third Ring Master, Zhao Gang, who was ranked third in terms of cultivation.
As expected, after the two of them went on stage, they fought for less than ten rounds before Jiang Yuan was knocked off the stage by Zhao Gang's punch.
Similarly, there was not much suspense in the third and fourth matches. The first arena master Luo Yuntian and the second arena master Wu Yicheng easily defeated their opponents. The two battles added up to less than three minutes.
At this point, the top four of the Martial Examinations were announced. The four were the first Ring Master, Luo Yuntian, the second Ring Master, Wu Yicheng, the third Ring Master, Zhao Gang, and Chu Ming, who had previously occupied the fifth Ring Master's position. What was more interesting was that these four people happened to be the four strongest people in this year's Martial Examination. One could imagine that the semi-finals and the final battle for the championship would be quite intense.
"The third semi-final of the championship begins. Chu Ming versus Zhao Gang!”
As the head examiner Yan Ju's voice rang out once again, the atmosphere in the arena instantly became lively. Zhao Gang's strength was needless to say. His cultivation at Houtian Realm Level Six was enough to rank at the top of the younger generation in the Great Qin Empire. Chu Ming's combat strength had also been recognized by everyone in the previous rounds of battle. If nothing unexpected happened, the battle between the two would definitely be a fierce one.
"Your strength is quite good, worthy of my serious treatment!”On the arena, Zhao Gang said in a relaxed manner.
"Is that so?" Chu Ming glanced at him.”
"Hehe, being too arrogant is not a good thing. Let me teach you when to be humble.”Zhao Gang recognized Chu Ming's strength, but he didn't think that Chu Ming could beat him. He disappeared in a flash, as if he had melted into the wind.
In the next moment, Zhao Gang's entire body suddenly turned into a black shadow. It was like wind and fog. His body seemed to have lost its substance. Before Chu Ming's aura could lock onto his body, the other party's body had already turned into a sharp black light and pounced straight at Chu Ming!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the air, Zhao Gang used both his hands and feet to launch dozens of attacks in the blink of an eye. Terrifying power came crashing down from Chu Ming's head like a flood. The sound of air being torn apart could be heard, and it made people's scalps go numb.
"Good!"
" What a powerful attack. As expected of the contestant ranked third in this Martial Arts Tournament…"
"I wonder if Chu Ming can take it…"
Seeing Zhao Gang's terrifying attack, many spectators cheered. Even Luo Yuntian and Wu Yicheng, who were sitting in the resting area, turned their eyes to the ring.
"This person's movement technique is really amazing. Ordinary Pre-Sky Realm masters would find it hard to control their bodies in the sky, but this Zhao Gang is as agile as a bird in the air. It's really a miracle.”Chu Ming thought to himself as he slashed his sword in the air.
Feng!
As Chu Ming swung his sword, a strong wave of air appeared above his head. The strong wave of air swept out like a hurricane, and Zhao Gang's body was lifted up by the wave of air. The power that he had used to attack like lightning was completely dissolved by the wave of air.
"Humph!"
Zhao Gang snorted coldly and used all his strength. In an instant, he turned into a black gust of wind that circled around Chu Ming. Every time it spun, dozens of terrifying attacks would come madly at Chu Ming. The sound of explosions could be heard without end. The momentum was simply terrifying to the extreme.
Puff! Puff!
Zhao Gang's speed was almost a generation faster than Chu Ming's, surpassing the speed of sound. Chu Ming didn't have a chance to fight back. However, Chu Ming was also a person with a keen sense of battle. Since he couldn't fight back, he decided to temporarily suppress the thought of fighting back. He used the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique to protect his body and isolate Zhao Gang's attack.
Chu Ming knew that although Zhao Gang was fast, he couldn't last long. He only needed to wait quietly, wait for Zhao Gang to slow down, and wait for the right time to attack.
Just as Chu Ming had expected, Zhao Gang's speed began to slow down after dozens of breaths of violent attacks.
"Bang ~"
Perhaps he knew that it would be difficult to defeat Chu Ming with pure speed, so after another dozen strikes, Zhao Gang threw a punch and retreated more than 300 feet. His aura locked onto Chu Ming to prevent him from chasing after him.
"You really have some skills. However, that was just a warm-up. The real battle has just begun!”After saying that, Zhao Gang suddenly took a step forward. A huge force suddenly erupted from his seemingly thin body, and the arena within a radius of a thousand feet trembled.
"Meteor Fist!"
With a single punch, the air currents dispersed. Zhao Gang's figure was like a meteor striking the ground. In a flash, he arrived, and the majestic fist force crashed over like a mountain. Since he couldn't defeat his opponent with speed, he might as well use his strength to suppress his opponent, using his cultivation that far surpassed Chu Ming's.
"Good!"
Seeing Zhao Gang's attack, the audience felt their hearts palpitate. Many people even stood up and cheered loudly. Deep down in everyone's heart, they revered strength. Zhao Gang's simple punch was not only as fast as lightning, but it also contained endless power. It was simply too exciting.
It was different from the audience's reaction. Chu Ming's face was calm, and there was a faint sneer on his lips. If Zhao Gang had relied on his speed, Chu Ming would have had to spend a lot of effort to defeat him, but this guy had actually fought him head-on. This was exactly what Chu Ming wanted.
Chu Ming didn't move at all. When Zhao Gang's attack came close, the sword in his hand suddenly spun around. He gripped the end of the sword tightly with both hands and then slashed upward.
" Warrior Skill-Half Moon Slash!"
With a cold shout, a crescent-shaped huge arc blade broke away from the sword's edge that was flashing with white light. It instantly tore through the air in front of it in a strange and rapid way, slashing straight at Zhao Gang's fist.
In the next moment, Chu Ming's crescent blade collided with Zhao Gang's fist under the excited gazes of countless spectators.
"Boom!"
The two massive forces collided fiercely in the void. In an instant, Zhao Gang felt as if he had crashed into a towering mountain or a huge continent. The enormous power he had unleashed seemed abnormally small in front of Chu Ming's Half Moon Slash.
With a loud bang, Zhao Gang's skinny figure flew back like a meteorite. His attack speed was as fast as lightning, and he flew back even faster. Many spectators only felt their eyes blur before Zhao Gang was sent flying by Chu Ming. His entire body was like a sandbag that had been thrown away. He flew a few hundred feet away before landing heavily on the ground outside the arena with a bang.
"Hiss-"
At the same time, the audience gasped and widened their eyes.
"So powerful…"
" This guy's strength seems to have no bottom line. It's always unexpected…"
" That's right. Zhao Gang's attack just now could probably pierce through a small mountain. I didn't expect Chu Ming to send him flying with one move. Chu Ming is really scary…"
