C457 Geniuses Gathered
Jiang Heng straightened his body and smiled bitterly at Chen Yu, saying, "Senior Brother Chen, I'm out. I can only place all my hopes on you!"
Chen Yu pulled Jiang Heng up and said, "Victory or defeat is nothing out of the ordinary!"
Jiang Heng shook his head helplessly with a downcast expression on his face. The injuries on his body were not light either. Chen Yu roughly looked at it and saw that there were at least twenty wounds on his body.
With Jiang Heng's peak of the fifth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, he actually had a good chance of passing through the second round. Unfortunately, he met a talented person like Lih Xie.
Furthermore, he originally had extraordinary talent. Although he was only at the third level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, his strength was still stronger than Jiang Heng. It was already rare for Jiang Heng to fight until the last moment.
"Chen Yu!" At this time, Lih Xie flew down from the arena, and came to the side of Chen Yu and the others, saying: "I am really sorry, I know the situation of your Polar Extreme Peak, but I still need to use all my strength in this battle!"
Chen Yu looked at Lih Xie and said, "Brother Li, you are too serious. This is how the sect competition should be!"
Lih Xie said, "Brother Jiang is not weak, but also very smart. It's a pity that he doesn't see me as his biggest threat. Otherwise, there might be a chance!"
Chen Yu nodded and said: "Brother Li, rest well. I will first take Brother Jiang back to the viewing platform!"
"Aren't you going to observe the other opponents?" Lih Xie said, "With Brother Chen's strength, the second round of the free-for-all will not affect you much and you should not need to rest. It would be better for you and me to walk around under these dueling platforms."
Chen Yu was slightly surprised, but he couldn't help but admit that Lih Xie's words made a lot of sense.
All of the opponents in the third and fourth rounds of the Large Competition were formidable opponents. If one could see for themselves in advance, then their chances of winning would increase quite a bit when they encountered one. Of course, he might not necessarily have seen everything he had seen before, but it was always good to know more about it.
"Alright then!" Chen Yu nodded and said to Wen Congann, "Junior Brother Wen, Gong Mr Sun, Brother Ye, may I trouble you to bring Senior Jiang back to the viewing platform!"
Wen Congann quickly agreed.
Thus, Chen Yu and Lih Xie walked towards Stage 56 and down.
On Stage 56, there were still three warriors fighting. All three of them were at the sixth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage.
"Fire Cloud Peak Liu Yuan, Gu Yanfeng Zhang Qing, and Thousand-sword Peak Wu Tong. The three of them are all geniuses at the sixth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage. Whether it is the level of Spiritual Soul, or the sacred art they cultivate, they are all extraordinary!" Lih Xie suddenly opened his mouth and introduced to Chen Yu, "There are three geniuses gathered on the arena. It can be said to be a fierce battle between two evenly matched opponents!"
"It seems like their luck isn't too good!" Chen Yu said.
"Of course!" Lih Xie smiled and said, "This second round of free-for-all is most advantageous to a disciple who is not weak but does not have a strong reputation!"
"Like you?" Chen Yu smiled and said.
"I was just lucky!" Lih Xie said: "I only have the strength of the third level of Spirit Accumulation Stage. A few of my senior brothers did not see me as a threat just now, otherwise, it would have taken more effort for me to pass the second round!"
His words were filled with a strong sense of confidence.
While he was speaking, on the 56th arena, Liu Yuan chopped at Zhang Qing, Zhang Zong threw a punch at Wu Tong, and Wu Tong's spider Spiritual Soul pounced at Liu Yuan like a gust of wind. The three of them restrained each other, making this battle a stalemate.
The two of them did not stop and arrived at another arena.
On this arena, two powerful warriors were still battling.
"Feng Qishen from Lion Peak and Su Guanyuan from Qiyun Peak. No matter who they are, they all have the strength to fight their way into the top ten of the Large Competition."
Chen Yu stopped to watch for a while before continuing to walk.
Very quickly, the two of them had passed more than ten arenas. These arenas were all close to their end, and the only ones left were two or three people who were deciding who would be the victor.
Without exception, those who were able to last until the end in a chaotic battle were either extraordinarily powerful or had extraordinary intelligence.
Suddenly, Chen Yu saw a man in green clothes standing on a martial arena. That man held a long sword in his hand. Sword Qi surged, suppressing both opponents.
This man's sword aura was endless, and as he slashed downwards, a unique domain formed beneath his blade. It was like a quagmire, preventing his opponent from escaping. Even when facing two opponents at once, he still appeared to be proficient.
"The number one character of Qiyun Peak, Ping Yu, has a cultivation at the seventh level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, which is rarely seen among the young generation of the sect. He is a strong contender for first place in the tournament, and three years ago, he entered the top ten with a cultivation of Spirit Accumulation Stage at the sixth level!" Lih Xie said.
"Brother Li is very clear about this?" Chen Yu said.
"Of course!" Lih Xie said with a smile, "Before the Large Competition, I saw a ranking list that was related to the Large Competition. In the ranking list, Pingyu is ranked ninth!"
"What's your ranking?" Chen Yu walked forward and asked, not paying much attention to the fight on Pingyu's side.
"I'm ashamed. I was not able to enter the top 100!" Lih Xie said, "On the other hand, Brother Chen, you're in the 100th place. If your luck is good, you could make it into the 3rd round!"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Brother Li has now entered the third round and can already be ranked in the top 80. It can be seen that the forecast list is not accurate!"
"The Large Competition's forecast can only be used as a reference. However, those who can simultaneously leave their names on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings are indeed not of the same generation!" Lih Xie said: "In my opinion, the great competition's forecast rankings have no reference value, but if it can be ranked on the Dragon Tiger List, that would mean its strength can be placed in the top three hundred disciples!"
Chen Yu was slightly shocked when he heard that. He had of course heard of the Dragon Tiger Ranking. For a ranking list of disciples with Ruling Spirit Sect cultivations of three hundred, the ones ranked at the very front were all top geniuses with the potential to become experts in the Profound Dark Stage. It was said that for the past few years, the first place on the Dragon Tiger Ranking had always been Hua Xuan Du.
"Look over there, he is ranked fifth on the ranking board of the Large Competition, and he is ranked one hundred thirty-ninth on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings. His talent is extraordinary, and his mental strength is naturally formidable.
A person was dressed in purple warrior robes, and did not use Spirit Weapon s, but with a wave of his hand, Spiritual Dipper s transformed into countless wooden swords that formed a sword formation, trapping the two opponents at the sixth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage in the arena.
The wooden sword and air sword formation rotated like a whirlpool, obscuring the arena. The momentum was terrifying.
Chen Yu judged that the single sound was indeed stronger than the average sound. It could be seen that the Prognostic Ranking of the Large Competition was indeed quite impressive.
After walking past a few more arenas, suddenly, Chen Yu's gaze focused. He saw a woman in red clothes with a slim and graceful figure, her hands dancing like butterflies.
"Cyan Sun Peak Lin Miaojin, Rank 13 on the Prognosis List, Dragon Tiger Rankings rank 289, do you know of her?" Lih Xie followed Chen Yu's gaze and looked over as he said with a slightly surprised expression.
"You can say that!" Chen Yu said with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"Among the Cyan Sun Peak disciples, Lin Miaojin's innate talent is only inferior to Chu Zhaoyang's, and she's a formidable opponent. In the great sect competition three years ago, her luck was bad. She had already encountered Lei Hao at the start of the third round and was defeated by him. Because she hadn't fought many times with others, it was said that her ranking was a bit low! " Lih Xie said.
Chen Yu nodded. His gaze followed Lin Miaojin's shadow and didn't move away for a long time.
Lin Miaojin's opponent was also at the seventh level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, but when faced with Lin Miaojin's attack, she was barely able to fight back. In the end, she was hit by Lin Miaojin's finger energy which contained an incomparable amount of water spirit energy, and was forced to admit defeat.
At this time, Chen Yu had a feeling in his heart, and looked towards the bottom of the arena where Lin Miaojin was standing, only to see Situ Lan watching the fight. Other than her, other Cyan Sun Peak disciples Chen Yu also felt that they were familiar with each other.
Chen Yu walked forward.
"Yunxiu Peak's Qianqian, Rank 10, Dragon Tiger Rank 261!" On one of the arenas, a graceful figure was dancing. Spiritual Dipper was like water, blossoming with spirit light, constantly transforming into innumerable shapes, attacking layer after layer, suppressing an opponent at the seventh level of Spirit Accumulation Stage.
"Yue Zhao of the Raise Un Peak, ranked third on the forecast, ranked 98th on the Dragon and Tiger Rankings!" He fought one-on-one against five, and even though the group of five had two at the sixth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage, they were still suppressed by him. He allowed five of his opponents to join hands to form their greatest strength, and then endured all of the attacks. This was clearly testing his limits through this pressure!
"Green Wood Mountain Apocalypse, fourth place on the Prognosis List, rank 112 on the Dragon Tiger Rankings!"
"Guan Yuan Feng, Koo Xiaochen, second place on the forecast, Dragon and Tiger Rankings, seventy-sixth."
Finally, under the observation of Chen Yu and his sister, the curtains of the battles on the martial arena fell.
The last match had ended. It was already deep into the night and the Thousand-zhang Plateau had long ago lit up with streaks of light as bright as day.
"After the second round, the next were Feng Yang, Long Yue, Zhao Mingyi, and Hong Shen …" After a while, an elder jumped onto a stage and announced the names of the eighty contestants.
On the viewing platform of the 36 peaks, there were some who were happy while others were sad.
Among the 80 people who were promoted to the third round, the number of people on the main peak was the highest at 15. Among them, the names Ning Bingyu and Faang Jian'ge attracted the most discussion.
Aside from that, there were also quite a few people in the and other top rankings. Most of them had three or four disciples that advanced to the third round.
The thing that attracted the most attention was Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu's name. When his name was read out, many people discussed about it.
What happened at Polar Extreme Peak and Chu Tianshu's promise to Polar Extreme Peak had long ago spread to the thirty-six peaks. The name Chen Yu was naturally especially eye-catching. Many people were surprised, they did not expect that there would actually be a disciple who could advance to the third round of Polar Extreme Peak, as long as they could pass the third round they would be able to enter the top ten of the Large Competition.
On the Dragon Head Peak viewing platform, Zong Yan stood up and left with a pale face. More than half of the Dragon Head Peak disciples followed along.
The number one disciple of Dragon Head Peak, Xu Renfeng, had lost his halberd in the first round and lost to Chen Yu. The remaining few disciples who were not weak entered the second round, but after the second round, his Dragon Head Peak was completely destroyed, and not a single person was able to advance to the third round.
Compared to the fact that the entire mountain range only had three people's Polar Extreme Peak, Dragon Head Peak's performance was rather unbearable. It was true that no ordinary inner disciple noticed this when announcing the name list, but many of the high ranking members of the mountain range did. In this situation, Dragon Head Peak's face could be said to have been completely wiped away.
