Chapter 122: The Championship Battle Begins

  The night has fully fallen, a big moon appears in the sky, emitting soft light, illuminating the entire land, and the surrounding scenery is still vaguely visible. The competition will continue at night until all nine rounds are completed.

  Ten disciples jumped onto the stage again. At this time, several of them had obviously appeared to be short of spiritual power, and the moves they made were not as powerful as before.

  The eighth round of the game is about to begin, and this round Han Jiang's opponent directly admitted defeat and gave up the game. Han Jiang won this round again without using any strength, winning all eight rounds.

  This round of Ye Yun's opponent was not very strong, after hundreds of moves of contention, Ye Yun finally won, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The eighth round also ended, followed by the final round, the ninth round.

  After a half-hour break, the ninth round also kicked off, which is the final battle. After this battle, the top 10 will be ranked from 11th to 20th.

  The ninth round of the competition was not as intense as imagined, with everyone's spiritual energy severely depleted. After going through ten battles in one day, anyone's spiritual energy would be exhausted.

  The ninth game, Han Jiang's opponent did not give up the match, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being defeated. Among the ten people, only Han Jiang won all nine games, and his ranking was fixed at eleventh place. Ye Yun ranked third in thirteenth place, which is better than last year's performance when he ranked fourteenth. This year, he improved by one rank, but Lian Shanfeng's ranking this year will definitely not be just thirteenth place.

  At the end of all the matches, a middle-aged man also came out to fight. "Today's match has ended, and the ranking is also out," said the middle-aged man, who then reported the names of the other nine people in order. This time, Ji Wushang was actually ranked behind Ye Yun at 14th place.

  "This year's competition is different from previous years, it's much more intense than before. Many of the disciples who were able to enter the top ten last year are now left out of the top ten. Yesterday, the sect leader issued a decree that all disciples in the top twenty will receive a reward of spiritual medicine, with each person receiving one Canghai Dan and 50,000 Yuanling Dan. This is an extra reward from the sect leader to everyone, I hope you all won't disappoint the sect leader's intentions, work hard on your cultivation, and strive for more glory for Danxuan Sect in the future."

  The ten disciples below suddenly cheered up, unexpectedly this year the twentieth ranking also had a chance to get the Canghua Dan, all of their faces showed excited expressions, even Ye Yun and Han Jiang were no exception.

  "I don't know why this year there are rewards even beyond the top 20, in previous years only the champion would receive the Cihua Dan"; a disciple exclaimed.

  "I'm not sure, maybe the master is giving us extra rewards this year. The reward this year is more than any other year, it seems that the master wants to expand our Dan Xuan Gate. This time when we go back, we must cultivate well and live up to the master's expectations."

  Not only were the ten disciples excited, but also the other ten disciples who entered the top ten were surprised. This time's competition is different from previous years. Is something going to happen in Danxuan Gate? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so generous with the distribution of dan medicine, allowing each disciple to seize the opportunity to cultivate.

  "Alright, today's match has ended and there are still two hours before dawn. All disciples don't need to go back, just sit down and rest for two hours on the spot, then the championship competition will begin," said the middle-aged man.

  Twenty disciples all sat cross-legged, recovering their strength. The Lingwu realm doesn't need to eat or drink or sleep, as long as they sit and recover for a bit, they can restore all their spirit.

  "Chen Xuan, it's your turn next. Are you confident that you can enter the top three?" Ye Yun said beside Chen Xuan.

  "For now I don't know, but I have 60% confidence that I can get into the top three, unless something special happens" Chen Xuan said.

  "Just now, Peak Master sent me a divine thought, saying that you must be in the top three. The tone of Peak Master's divine thought this time is filled with excitement, and Peak Master also said that as long as you can enter the top three, Peak Master will give you a special reward, even more generous than the reward for winning the championship." Ye Yun Dao said:

  "I will do my best," Chen Xuan is now very calm and composed, without the guidance of Peak Master, he would not give up this opportunity. The reward is one aspect, but he also really needs a large amount of Yuanling Dan. His family is also urgently in need of Yuanling Dan to enhance their overall strength. He consumed 2 million Yuanling Dan when breaking through to the Spiritual Warrior's peak, and doesn't know how much it will take to break through to the True Martial Realm. Chen Xuan conservatively estimated that he would need at least 5 million Yuanling Dan to break through to the True Martial Realm, so he won't give up this opportunity to obtain Yuanling Dan.

  Two periods of time passed quickly, and the sky began to brighten up. Everyone came out from their cultivation, even the disciples who had gone through ten matches yesterday recovered all their spiritual power, and each person was in a state of mental satisfaction.

  "Today will be the championship match, the rules are the same as yesterday's competition, you should all understand now, let's start the match." The middle-aged man saw that dozens of people had come out from their cultivation and spoke again;

  A dozen people jumped up at once, looked at each other, and checked their first-round opponents.

  Qian Kun was the first to jump onto the stage, followed by Xiao Qiuyu. Chen Xuan also jumped up without any hesitation, temporarily with no opponent, standing alone on the stage.

  The remaining few people also jumped up, each looking for their opponent. Suddenly, a figure landed in front of Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan calmed down and took a look, it was Xuan Yuan Li, who had entered the sect with him. His strength had also reached the peak of Ling Wu in these two months. Chen Xuan could feel that his spiritual power was also surging, much more majestic than ordinary Ling Wu peak spiritual power. It seemed that he had also received a lot of training, otherwise it would be difficult to have such a big change in just two months, Chen Xuan thought to himself.

  "I didn't expect us to meet so soon, we are both new disciples of this period, I will prove that I have more talent than you" Xuan Yuan said with a serious tone.

  "Each other, during the grand election, I was thinking that sooner or later I would have a battle with you. Today, as newcomers, of course, I will also prove that I am the most talented disciple in this competition." Chen Xuan said calmly.

  The two men locked eyes with each other, and sparks of battle intent flew out. The battle intent on their bodies burst out rapidly.

  "Your swordsmanship is good, I've also practiced a few moves myself. Let's settle this with our swords today." With a swish, Xuan Yuan Li drew out his own large knife;

  "This sword is called 'Day and Night Great Ring Sword', weighing 200 kilograms, it was personally forged by me, capable of splitting gold and breaking stones, it's a top-notch, supreme spiritual artifact" Xuan Yuan said, the big knife emitted a cold gleam, pressing down on Chen Xuan.

  "Good sword," Chen Xuan said as he sent a stream of spiritual energy over, which collided with Han Mang. With a loud "ding", Han Mang was shattered.

  Brush, Chen Xuan also brought out his own evil charm. "This knife is called Evil Charm, a top-grade spiritual instrument, weighing fifty kilograms." Chen Xuan introduced his own evil charm as well;

  "Not bad, it's a good sword. Although the quality is among the top-grade spiritual artifacts, it can be seen that the quality of this sword has surpassed the top-grade spiritual artifacts." Xuan Yuan Li Dao

  Xuanyuan Li's large knife began to emit a golden aura, which condensed into a twenty-meter-long blade that stopped in front of Chen Xuan. The scorching blade tip pierced Chen Xuan's eyes, and the unity of man and sword was achieved. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Li had also reached this level of unity between man and sword. It seemed that entering the top ten wasn't just luck; he had relied entirely on his strength to get there. Chen Xuan thought to himself as he saw Xuanyuan Li's aura:

  Chen Xuan's demonic aura also appeared with a knife halo, but the demonic aura emitted by the knife halo was blood red, emitting a Sura atmosphere that illuminated Chen Xuan, making him look even more demonic, and his entire person was submerged in a sea of red.

  "Dao Ming Qi Ju" Xuan Yuan stood up and shouted, the knife in his hand pressed down on Chen Xuan, accompanied by a series of sonic booms, the massive knife aura came straight at him, the air was compressed to the point of explosion.

  "Good timing, slash empty." Chen Xuan's evil charm was also activated, and the fiery red blade aura met the golden blade aura that Xuan Yang had slashed towards him.

  The tens of meters long knife auras of the two collided in an instant, and a deafening crash shook the air. The red and golden auras clashed, creating a breathtaking scene as a ring of light radiated outward. Both auras were manifestations of unyielding wills, strong against strong, aura against aura, shaking the entire arena to its core. Pebbles on the stone stage fell off in succession. In this one move, both parties had grasped the power of each other's techniques.
