Chapter 117: The Ranking Match Begins

  The following ten games have all ended, and the top ten places have been produced, namely: first place Qian Kun, Xiao Qiuyu, Ding Er, Fei Yan, Qin Huo, Li Cheng, Yu Shuqiang, Feng Ling, Xuan Yuanli, Chen Xuan.

  The ten people left had confident smiles on their faces, while those who failed to enter the top ten were filled with disappointment. Even if it was just a ranking of eleventh and tenth, there was still a huge gap. The tenth place was indeed blessed with the distribution of Huafeng Dan.

  This time, three new disciples actually entered the top ten, which is something that Danxuanmen has never had before. This time, even Ye Yun didn't make it into the top ten. It's clear that this year's participating disciples are much stronger than last year's, and some of the old-timers were eliminated, leaving only those with strong abilities in the front rows. The remaining few are just a handful of new disciples.

  Ye Yun walked to Chen Xuan's side with a bitter smile, "Still couldn't get into the top ten, encountered Xiao Qiuyu that pervert, my three-point sword intent was completely suppressed, fortunately this time you also entered the top ten, this time our ranking on Lian Shan will be improved by several places, your contribution is not small, little brother."

  "My junior brother was also lucky to enter the top ten, I will definitely strive for a good ranking in the next mountain peak competition. I wish you, senior brother, all the best in this 11th to 20th place competition and hope you can achieve good results." - Chen Xuan said

  "Junior brother is too modest, being able to enter the top ten is not a fluke, but modesty is also a good thing, however excessive modesty is not good. You now have the strength to surpass your peers, and your future achievements will definitely be above ours. I also wish Master Ye can achieve even higher results, at that time Peak Master will celebrate with us."

  Presenting auspicious words to his senior brother, the two were chatting when Ji Wu Shang also walked over. "Congratulations, young brother! At such a young age, you've managed to stand out among your peers and enter the top ten. I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Northern Domain knows about it. Don't forget that you still owe me a favor at that time!" Ji Wu Shang congratulated him;

  There were still several disciples that Chen Xuan didn't know who came up one by one to congratulate him. Although three new people entered the top ten this time, everyone knew that Chen Xuan was the strongest among the three. He even started being placed in the same position as the top few senior brothers. As for who could defeat Han Jiang of Qiankun Hall, apart from the top two, probably no one dared to say they could beat him. So some people had the intention of getting along with Chen Xuan while he was still young and hadn't grown up yet, so that in the future they could get along a bit better. After all, the strong will always be respected.

  However, there was a pair of venomous eyes that had been staring at Chen Xuan all along, and it was Han Jiang. After being hit by Chen Xuan, Han Jiang was rescued and treated by an elder on the high platform, and his injuries had fully recovered, but his face was ferocious and terrifying, with a pair of eyes emitting a beast-like gaze, glaring fiercely at Chen Xuan.

  Chen Xuan had actually noticed it a long time ago, but after this competition, Chen Xuan has probably left these people far behind and is no longer in the same league.

  The middle-aged man on the high platform stood up after seeing all ten matches below end.

  "The disciples who have already entered the top ten, there is no competition today. The remaining time will be used to determine the new ranking of the other ten disciples, from 11th to 20th place. Each match will also consist of five simultaneous matches, and each person can fight once. In total, each person's arena battle is nine rounds. Of course, if you win all nine rounds, you will be ranked 11th."

  "But I think it's unlikely, the one who wins the most will of course be ranked higher. Now there is no drawing lots, everyone goes up to the stage and finds their own opponent, it's all fair. You have to fight with every person, so going up on that stage is the same for everyone. Let's start now," said the middle-aged man.

  The disciples who had already entered the top ten sat down to watch the ranking competition for the next ten, although they were behind, but no one dared to say that their strength was not qualified to enter the top ten, some may have been unlucky and directly eliminated by the top few senior brothers.

  The light screens of the five arenas lit up, but the remaining ten people did not rush to the arena, all waiting to see who would go first. After dozens of breaths, someone finally jumped onto the first arena, followed by others jumping onto the other four arenas one after another. Ye Yun leaped onto the third arena, facing an opponent who was roughly equal in ranking to Lian Shanfeng, a senior master brother. The two were evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand.

  The other five arenas also had two people standing on them, and a dozen or so people quickly entered the battle.

  As Chen Xuan watched the match of over a dozen people, he felt his hairs stand on end, sensing that someone was scanning him with their divine sense. He looked around at the others, but they didn't seem to have any reaction. Could it be that I've already caught the attention of those on the high platform? His soul sea had been expanded several times larger by the Soul Stone, so as long as someone scanned him with their divine sense, he would be able to detect it. Chen Xuan glanced in the direction of the high platform.

  I didn't expect this kid to be so vigilant, it's not easy to get into the top ten, but wanting to enter the top three is just a pipe dream. This time, I've even staked my old bottom line; Li Jianshan thought to himself on the high platform.

  Li Jinshan used his spiritual sense to sweep a glance at Chen Xuan, to see what was special about this kid, but soon he was alerted by Chen Xuan and quickly withdrew his spiritual sense.

  The match below quickly entered a white heat, although the last ten did not have any substantial rewards, but everyone still brought out their best strength and did not want to be suppressed by others.

  Chen Xuan looked towards Han Jiang's stage, always feeling that this Han Jiang was not so simple. Although he had defeated him, his strength should not be underestimated.

  Han Jiang stood with his sword, restoring his former spirit. The five parts of his sword intent entwined on the stage, and a discerning eye could see that this five-part sword intent was one part more fierce than before. It's possible that Han Jiang had gained some insight from his previous failure, causing his sword intent to increase by one part. This Han Jiang is indeed a genius, relying on fighting to quickly realize the shortcomings of his own sword intent. Chen Xuan watched Han Jiang's changes with surprise in his heart.

  Han Jiang's opponent was a master brother who ranked last among the mountain peaks. With a furrowed brow, this master brother also sensed the change in sword intent. However, with an arrow on the string that couldn't be held back, this master brother drew out his own weapon, which was also an extreme-grade spiritual artifact - a chain gun.

  "With a low shout, the master brother wielding the chain spear launched an attack on Han Jiang. The chain spear's offensive was unpredictable and treacherous, with many variations, making it impossible to anticipate its changes from the spear itself. The shadow of the spear enveloped Han Jiang, and this master brother was also at the half-step True Martial realm. His chain spear was wielded like a dragon emerging from the sea, each move fatal."

  The Han River on the opposite side seemed to ignore this gun, seeing the chain gun stabbing straight over, Han Jiang dodged left and right, like a butterfly evading countless gunshots. Han Jiang's hand grasped the hilt tightly, hesitating without drawing his sword, his eyes fixed firmly on the chain gun attacking him. Han Jiang was waiting, waiting for the best opportunity to strike, one flaw would be enough, this senior brother's chain gun was virtual and real, many illusions were confusing effects.

  But Han Jiang seemed to have discovered that these illusions had no attacking effect, the entire field was filled with illusions, and now it was completely impossible to see Han Jiang's true body moving, but Han Jiang still allowed these illusions to attack him, he was waiting, waiting for the real attack.

  Whoa, the chain gun splits into three routes to attack Han Jiang's three parts at the same time, unable to dodge anymore. The upper, middle and lower routes are all covered by this move, and can only draw their swords. Everyone thinks so.

  Han Jiang did the same, and with a whoosh, his long sword left its scabbard, three sword energies shooting straight at the three chain spears that were charging towards him.

  Bang bang clang, the two weapons collided in a burst of sparks, and all of Chain Gun's attacks were dismantled. The illusions emitted by Chain Gun were completely shattered, revealing the figures of the two people on the scene.

  Han Jiang still stood with his sword, his face still cold and expressionless. The young man in front of him had all his attacks neutralized, and his face looked extremely unsightly. He had already brought out his strongest attack, but it was still broken through. It seemed that this match was lost for sure, thought the youth holding the chain gun.

  "I've figured out your moves, now it's my turn to take you down," Han Jiang said as his long sword slid forward, its five-part sword intent stirring up a wisp of flame that slashed diagonally towards the young man in front of him. The sword's power was overwhelming, its momentum unstoppable, and although the sword itself seemed like an illusion, its force could be truly felt.

  The young man opposite him had a solemn expression, the chain gun in his hand danced with dense and impenetrable wind, wanting to intercept this move, but Han Jiang's move was transformed from the Five Elements Sword Intent, and even those who had just entered the True Martial Realm couldn't withstand it.

  Boom! The long sword struck the young man's chain gun, and the huge impact directly sent him flying. One move, Han Jiang solved the last-ranked Master Shanfeng, shocking the entire audience.
