Chapter 96 The Great Comparison Part 4

  These few chapters are really not well written, but the later ones are better. The elimination round was really suffocating to write, and I wouldn't know what the plot is like afterwards if I didn't write it!

  Chen Xuan did not care about everyone's opinions, but instead looked at the referee on the edge of the ring. To win, he had to either make his opponent concede or knock him off the ring, and Chen Xuan had done neither so far. His opponent had neither conceded nor fallen off the ring, so it was up to the referee to decide what to do next. The young man stood on the ring, grinning foolishly and drooling, while the referee looked at him, equally unsure of what to do.

  Chen Xuan can now strike at any time to knock his opponent off the stage, but his opponent is now an idiot, Chen Xuan can't make a move. The referee took a look at the high platform, and a voice entered his ear, "Pass", just two words, people outside didn't know, spiritual transmission, only through spiritual power can do it. After receiving these two words, the referee directly announced, No. 500 passed, No. 1000 eliminated, and declared the result.

  Chen Xuan, upon hearing the judge's announcement, once again unleashed his "Phantom Nine Changes" technique, similar to the lightness skill of a previous life's martial artist, and stepped into the air, walking towards his own high platform. This shocked everyone, as it required immense spiritual energy to walk on air like that. Even at the Spiritual Martial Realm, one couldn't fly in mid-air, so Chen Xuan could only rely on his dense spiritual energy and the "Phantom Nine Changes" technique to walk towards the high platform. This was even more difficult than flying. After walking hundreds of steps, Chen Xuan finally returned to his own high platform.

  Actually, Chen Xuan has another meaning. Today, many high-ranking officials of Danxuan Gate have come out, and Chen Xuan just wants to attract their attention and get their attention. In the future, his development in the sect will be smoother. Only if he can play enough talent, the sect will naturally pay attention to him. When the time comes, those who want to make a move will have to weigh it carefully. When it's time to be low-key, be low-key. Today is the big competition of Danxuan Gate as a whole, Chen Xuan doesn't need to be low-key, he just wants to take this opportunity to make a name for himself. I want everyone to know that Danxuan Gate has produced a Chen Xuan, this is what I want.

  Chen Xuan returned to his own high platform, and all the disciples gathered around him. "Brother Chen, you're too awesome! You knocked out your opponent without using any martial arts techniques at all. This time, our Mount Qingyun is going to make a big splash!" an excited disciple exclaimed.

  "How do you know that Master Chen didn't use his martial skills? Master Chen's current martial skills have reached the point of being formless, how can you people understand?" a slightly older disciple said.

  "But this time, Brother Chen has really given us a boost. Every year, we were lagging behind even in mountain climbing, but with Brother Chen on our side, we can finally hold our heads high," many disciples flattered.

  Chen Xuan didn't go to pick up any conversation, Chen Xuan's body was also starting to emit a strong aura, and had already begun to surpass these disciples in level, becoming more and more like a great general, thinking that he should build his own power like the other mountain peak masters, so that his status in Dan Xuan Gate would be even higher.

  "Master, when did Chen Xuan become so powerful? Just a few days ago, you were fighting him at the main peak and his spiritual power wasn't as strong as it is now. I think he's already reached the pinnacle of spiritual martial arts. Do you have confidence in your duel with him this time?" a disciple asked Lu Yunfei.

  "His strength has indeed increased a lot, but wanting to defeat me is difficult. My trident has been refined into an extreme spirit device, its power has increased several times compared to before, defeating him is not a problem." Lu Yunfei said to the young man beside him;

  "This kid doesn't even know what kind of strange encounter he had, how his strength could increase so quickly, and whether the strength he showed earlier was his final strength. If it wasn't, in order to defeat him, I might still need to use some tricks. But my Trident has reached the extreme quality of a spiritual artifact, rivaling that of a half-yuan artifact. At this time, this is my ultimate killing move," thought Lu Yunfei.

  "Yi Sheng, I didn't expect that even the disciples of Mountain Peak would be so high-profile. Aren't you afraid that in the end, you won't be able to live up to it and will be beaten back to your original form?" a cold voice sounded.

  Yi Sheng turned his head and said, "I forgot that the disciple who just spoke was from your Dou Ling Peak, Master Li. Are you still trying to interfere with the competition below? My disciple Gao Tiao has the ability to be arrogant, and he has the skills to back it up. You can't blame him for being confident. Isn't this what Dou Ling Peak does every year? This year we're just being confident once, but you won't allow our disciples to be arrogant? That's ridiculous."

  "Don't think that just because you've won a game, you can become complacent. The real battle is yet to come. I hope this disciple of yours will continue to be so arrogant, or else he'll end up getting beaten stupid by others," said Li Jianshan, the master of Douling Peak.

  Others who saw the two men arguing in the street just shook their heads, as they had been quarreling for many years. Every year's competition was a debate, and everyone was used to it, nor did anyone intervene.

  The fifth round of the competition has also come to an end, and now it's time for the sixth round. The middle-aged man on the high platform spoke again, starting a new round of reporting numbers. A hundred arenas began a new round of battles. This time, Lian Shanjun selected twenty disciples, including some who were familiar with Chen Xuan. Each round had its highlights, but after what happened to Chen Xuan, those highlights lost their luster. The difference between defeating an opponent and making them lose their senses was too great. Half a time later, all the arenas returned to calmness. This time, Lian Shanjun only brought back five disciples, it seemed that the other fifteen had been eliminated.

  It's already sunset, and after ten rounds of elimination, the number of people on the high platform is getting smaller and smaller. The disciples of Lian Shan Peak have decreased from 101 to around 50. This is just the first day of competition, and tomorrow there may be even fewer people. I estimate that today should be the twelfth round of competition, which is exactly one cycle. By then, the number of people will be eliminated by half, and tomorrow's competitors may only have around 1,000 people left. However, tomorrow's competition will also become more intense. Until the tenth round, even the senior brothers of Lian Shan Peak did not appear on stage, probably saving themselves for the final round, that is, waiting for the last moment to go on stage.

  The tenth round of the competition also ended quickly, all the injured disciples were taken away for treatment, and some of them who were both defeated could only be eliminated. The number of disciples on the high platform was getting smaller and smaller, and the eleventh round of reporting began again. At this time, the sky started to darken, but it did not hinder the progress of the competition. This time, even the few masters from the back peaks were called out, including Ye Yun from Lian Shan Peak.

  Chen Xuan only then realized that when the numbers were drawn, this middle-aged man had already rigged it so that all of the top masters would be placed last and wouldn't even meet each other until the end. This way they would have to go further in the competition before meeting, otherwise the competition would lose its meaning. The strongest must be saved for last, these are what you call seeded players. But if they were defeated halfway through, then the faces of these masters would also be lost.

  Ye Yun of Lian Shan Peak also floated down, but not as freely as Chen Xuan. This time, Ye Yun was assigned to the tenth arena. Ye Yun had a tall stature and held a long sword in his right hand, exuding an aura of a great swordsman. His opponent, a young man standing opposite him, was also a swordsman. It seemed that many disciples of Dan Xuan Men chose to cultivate their skills with swords, and each one was an exceptional genius.

  The young man opposite Ye Yun spoke up, "I know I'm not your opponent, but I still want to take a chance. Your Daze Sword Technique has already reached the fifth level, and the sword intent on you is about to break through the fourth layer of sword intent. At that time, you will be one step closer to the True Martial Realm, or even directly enter the True Martial Realm. I am also a sword cultivator, so I cannot retreat. Choosing to cultivate as a sword means being like a sword, upright and unyielding, rather than bending."

  "Your swordsmanship isn't bad either, but it needs more refinement. What you said is right, choosing to cultivate the sword path means enduring loneliness. You make the first move," Ye Yun said.

  The young man opposite him didn't stand on ceremony either, knowing he wasn't a match for Ye Yun. He might as well open up his chest and attack Ye Yun head-on. "Ethereal Sword Technique," the young man softly exclaimed, his long sword swaying left and right like a spirit snake, and falling like autumn leaves, making it impossible to grasp. This was probably the young man's strongest move, knowing he only had one chance, so he directly unleashed his strongest technique.

  "Good swordsmanship," Ye Yun on the opposite side also praised, Ye Yun's right hand drew out his own long sword, his right hand grasped the hilt, and drew an arc, one divided into two, two divided into four. The two arcs sealed off the young man's floating sword directly, leaving two flying towards the young man, attacking from left and right. These two arcing sword auras seemed to be alive, completely invisible as a sword aura, just like a spiritual snake dancing back and forth in mid-air.

  The young man opposite him also withdrew his long sword and drew out two sword auras, but they were not as agile as Ye Yun's. The two sword auras intersected in mid-air, and finally, Ye Yun's two sword auras actually devoured the opponent's two sword auras, becoming even thicker and stronger. The two sword auras once again surrounded the young man, floating up and down around him, without giving him any chance to counterattack. The young man looked at this and directly lowered his head, "I lost." "Thank you for sparing my life," the young man said.

  "Alright," said Ye Yun; after finishing speaking, Ye Yun also returned to the high platform of Lian Shan Peak.
