“Even if Feng Ping lost to Ye Chen in term of speed,his speed is still quite good when compared to other disciples. But he could not even escape from a single slash from Brother Meng Chong, the gap is truly large.”
“This year, Brother Meng Chong has become even more fearful.”
Hearing the conversation of the crowd, Ye Chen frowned. The Blood Shadow, Meng Chong, was strong. His attack was simple, but it had cut at a tremendous velocity. With a weapon skill of such simplicity, he managed to deal such massive damage.
Therefore, in a fight with Meng Chong, one could not rely much on their weapon skills, unless his skill level was far overwhelming than Meng Chong.
The moment Meng Chong left the arena, all the disciples that were competing in the top ten ranking fights looked towards him in fear.
Yi Qing, a thin looking disciple with nickname of Iron Fan, made a wry smile,“I thought that I might able to surpass him this year, but sadly I have been left behind even further.”
At his side, Song Fei asked,“Were you ranked second in the previous ranking matches?”
“The previous rankings are no longer important, the gap has increased. His power has reached the level of some of the best core disciples.”
“The core disciples.” Song Fei sucked in a cold breath. He understood how strong the people in the top ranks of core disciples were. Although they were also at the peak of late Condensing Reality Realm, anyone from the core disciples could easily defeat him with a single attack. If it was a person who had good rank among them, he would be an abnormality that was extremely hard to defeat.
Ye Chen got selected to fight in the fourth match. The name of his opponent was Yang Lie.
By this time, his opponent quickly went up the arena and swiftly moved back in order to be a huge distance away from Ye Chen, so that he could keep Ye Chen from disappearing from his sight.
Ye Chen shook his head, he made a wry smile and stood still in the arena.
When he was around thirty steps away from Ye Chen, Yang Lie stopped and released three sword beams from his blade towards the position of Ye Chen.
His body moved aside quickly and evaded the beams. Ye Chen stomped on the ground and released a hidden force towards his opponent.
“Explode!”
Bang!
The ground under Yang Lie exploded, causing him to be thrown away from the arena.
This move was out of everyone’s expectations, they thought that Ye Chen would defeat his opponent again with speed.
The victory of the fifth match was taken by Zhang Haoran. Even if he had lost to the Ghost Sword, Li Kuang, he was still strong and powerful, he defeated his opponent within ten attacks and obtained two marks.
The following matches were dull without much suspense. They were unsightly as it was just the stronger ones bullying the weaker ones.
“The ninth match, Pei Shaoqing versus Tie Feng.”
Hum!
With the announcement of the referee, the crowd shouted wildly in ebullience.
Pei Shaoqing had a better rank than the Ghost Sword, Li Kuang in the previous ranking matches. He looked polite and easy to get along. Only a few knew that his attacks were fierce like a demon. Even his friend, Li Kuang had a slight fear of him.
Tie Feng was someone that could be described as a disciple with lesser talent that matured slowly. He was stable and steady like a mountain, he defeated Song Fei with just three kicks with his well known leg art.
Both of them could be said to be equally strong and could only find out the stronger one among them by fighting.
“Tie Feng, please do not get too harsh with me!” Pei Shaoqing smiled.
Tie Feng replied sincerely, “Sure!”
Looking at Tie Feng’s expression, the crowd felt amused and had some laughs. But that was not because of hatred or dislike, they admired his diligence with which he continuously practiced that lead to him sharpening his skills just like a magnificent grandmaster.
Pei Shaoqing’s smile ceased and he got nervous. He had an intuition that Tie Feng would be hard and really difficult to deal with. To win this match, he would probably need to bring out all his power and unleash his full strength.
Unwittingly, his palm turned greenish-purple. With a loud shout, he rushed towards Tie Feng like a demon and tried to hit him with his palm.
Wuuu! Wuuu!
The air was torn apart by the force. A piercingly wild shriek, that sounded like a ghost’s cry was heard. The disciples nearby were terrified, their faces turned pale with fright.
Tie Feng was daft with his attack. However, when he made his move, everyone knew that the Pei Shaoqing’s momentum was unable to effect him.
He bent his body and raised his right leg. With these movements, his energy and spirit rose up as he accumulated a storming force in his body.
