Chapter 647: Please Wage War, Be Decisive!
and unsheathed her sword once more. She unleashed the Thirty-Six Palaces Sword Technique, a whirlwind of sword energy surging and weaving through the air, evolving into a brilliant and intricate offen...The first round of the Saint Son's Contest, twenty-three Golden Sword disciples competed to select four participants for the second round.
For fairness, this first round of competition will not involve actual combat to avoid excessive energy expenditure by the four Golden Sword disciples who win, ensuring they can perform at their true potential in the second round.
Then, the elder in charge of the announcement on the platform raised his hand and waved it.
A piece of ochre-colored orb flew out, soaring above the martial arts field.
Golden orbs rained down, casting a glow that enveloped the entire martial arts arena.
“This is the Fierce Yuan Soul Orb. The power it emits can cause fluctuations in your internal yuan qi and exert strong pressure on your mental will. What you need to do is stay within the area covered by the Fierce Yuan Soul Orb's light, and the longer you persist, the better. Those who persevere until the last four people will have passed the first round!”
The elder finished speaking, clasped his hands together and struck a seal. A surge of energy flowed towards the Burning Yuan Soul Pearl suspended in mid-air.
In an instant, the radiance emanating from the Lieyuan Hunzhu intensified by countless times.
The twenty-three disciples of the Golden Sword Sect in the arena all felt a tremendous pressure descend upon them. They immediately sat down cross-legged, circulating their internal power to resist the oppression brought by the Fierce Yuan Soul Pearl.
Yunhao also sat cross-legged.
He remained composed and calm.
The pressure that the Liyuan Soul Pearl exerted on him was far less than countless times compared to others, even to the point where it could be completely ignored.
Because.
Other practitioners absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
And his vitality comes from within!
As for the pressure on mental and spiritual will, it is utterly ineffective!
But he didn't show these feelings, just like everyone else, holding his breath and concentrating on channeling his power.
There is no need to show your most unique side. Doing so will not only be beneficial, but may also lead to unnecessary trouble and questioning.
"Sister, are you sure Jian Hongchen is alright"
He shouldn't be unable to make it through the first round, should he
"Slap!" Kita Katsuko, her face flushed with anger, slapped the two people beside her on the back of their heads. "Don't say such unlucky things here! My master in the red dust is the best!"
Of the six chief disciples, Hong Xianling, the chief disciple of Zhanjian Hall, looked at Yun Hao and then at Si Qu, the chief disciple of Feijian Hall, and said: "You don't want him to pass the first round"
Si Qu let out a cold snort and said, "I hope he makes it through the first round, and then ideally meets me in the second. I'll personally teach him a lesson!"
Hong Xianling calmly said, "Actually, it's you who should learn how to be a good person."
"Hong Xianling, are you provoking me" Si Qu said angrily.
Hong Xianling shrugged and said, "I just think that Jian Hongchen's character is much better than yours."
"Si Qu, you know what you've done in your heart. To be honest, I never expected you to use the excuse of a cultivation mishap to avoid battle and blackmail the sect. You are too despicable! Fortunately, you didn't succeed. Hahaha, Jian Hongchen's sudden appearance has exposed your shame!" Le Zhijie, the chief disciple of the Formation Hall, also spoke up.
"Le Zhijie, control your mouth!" Si Qu was furious.
"Si Qu, you dare to do such a thing and not allow anyone to speak about it" The chief disciple of the Alchemy Hall sneered and said: "My combat strength is not good, vying for the position of Saint Son is just a formality. But if I meet you in the second round, I will do my best to consume you as much as possible. In short, I will not let you become the Saint Son!"
"Even if Jian Hongchen becomes a saint, it's fine, anyway you can't!" The chief disciple of the Refining Hall also spoke up.
The chief disciple of Yujian Hall let out a grunt and said, "That's right, this old man also looks down on you, Si Qu. What a despicable and shameless wretch!"
Si Qu was so frustrated that he was about to go crazy.
Now, he has become the target of everyone's scorn. In everyone's eyes, he is a despicable and shameless wretch!
Clearly, among all the chief disciples, he was the strongest. However, the other chief disciples all felt that he was far inferior to Jian Hongchen, a newcomer from the Flying Sword Hall!
This is the time.
Within the area shrouded by the Liyuan Soul Pearl, a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect paled, his body trembling violently, before he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The elder on the high platform immediately raised his hand and sent this person out.
As the first person couldn't hold on any longer, one by one, others left the area bathed in the light of the Lie Yuan Hun Zhu.
Two hours have passed.
23 disciples of the Golden Sword, only seven remain to persevere.
"Jian Hongchen is amazing, the other six seem to be struggling."
But the air around Jian Hongchen was still remarkably calm, proving he was completely in control!
He controls his vital energy very well!
His mental fortitude is not something that can be compared to ordinary people.
Moments later, three more people couldn't hold on.
The last four have already qualified for the second round!
But this contest isn't over yet, it's still ongoing. The radiance from the scattered Revenant Spirit Pearls has become more concentrated, and the ferocity of the spiritual energy, or rather the pressure exerted on one's mental willpower, has surged significantly.
Yūn Hào slowly opened his eyes, got up, and walked out.
This first round belongs to the disciples of Jin Jian. Only the top four are enough to enter the second round. As for who comes in first or second in the first round, Yun Hao doesn't care at all.
These things are not worth him fighting or scrambling for.
His goal was very clear; he simply wanted to get a spot to cultivate under the Divine Tree, and then use the power of the Great Dao's brilliance to further improve his combat strength!
Yun Hao's proactive appearance surprised everyone.
It was clear to everyone that he wasn't exerting himself at all, and everyone felt that he would definitely win first place in the first round of competition.
But the result was unexpected.
"Jian Hongchen, you put on a facade of calmness and composure, but in reality, you're at your wit's end. This contrived pretense is truly an eye-opener!" Si Qu's mocking voice echoed through the air.
Yun Hao looked over, a sneer playing on his lips. "Who is this person putting on airs and being hypocritical I think the entire Wanjianmen knows very well."
"You..." Si Qu was exasperated. He took several deep breaths and said, "Wait for me. After the second round begins, you better pray that you don't encounter me. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll regret it!"
The first round will determine four spots that advance to the second round.
Adding the six Chief Disciples, there were a total of ten people who drew lots for a one-on-one match.
The second round is where true combat power is demonstrated.
Yun Hao let out a disdainful laugh and then turned to the platform, saying: "Respectfully report to the Sect Master, elders, and Hall Masters, for the second round of the competition, I will not draw lots with this Si Qu, I will fight him directly!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire audience was stunned!
Si Qu is indeed very detestable, but it has to be admitted that Si Qu's strength is indeed the strongest among the six hall chief disciples.
Even Zhanjian Tang's Hong Xiling and Zhenfatang's Yue Zhijie looked down on Si Qu's character, but deep down they didn't want to encounter him in the second round.
What's the result
Jian Hongchen, after finishing the first round of competition, directly demanded in front of everyone that he fight Si Qu in the second round!
Let alone anything else, just this kind of boldness is unparalleled in the entire venue!lly."At the end of the last cultivation civilization era, he chose to seal himself away, spending a long time in the source stone and successfully prolonging his life until now.He has no understanding...
