For a 15-year-old boy from an outside sect, this was a shocking result.
Victor turned around and left the stage.
Although the fight against Nangong Zifeng lasted for a short period of time, Victor still won with an overwhelming advantage.
“Nangong Zifeng lost as well?”
“Did we really let a disciple from an outside sect enter the top ten of the Heavenly Sword Mountain competition?”
“It’s said that he beat Nangong Zifeng’s younger brother, Nangong Aotian, when he was in the East Ocean Restaurant. He directly knocked Nangong Aotian out of the competition, and now he has eliminated Nangong Zifeng. !”
Seeing Victor enter the top ten, many disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain were even more skeptical. Most of them were born in the Heavenly Illusion Mystic Realm and had a sense of superiority. They looked down on the external sects. They didn’t even care about those distinguished families.
However, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain had been eliminated, and a disciple of an external sect had entered the top ten.
This was like a young noble being slapped in the face by a social climber from the countryside.
This was something they absolutely could not tolerate. After all, the top ten of the grand competition not only meant great glory and rewards. It also meant that the mountain peak in which the disciple was at would provide support with the sect’s great resources, this was something that many disciples dreamed of.
Moreover, if one could become a core disciple, not only would their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, but the beautiful female disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain would also come forward.
If a personal disciple of one of the seven great peaks had obtained such a ranking, it would have been acceptable. But now, one of the spots had actually been taken away by a disciple from the outside world.
Thinking about how Victor would take their share of resources and enjoy the treatment of a core disciple in the future, they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. It was as if they had eaten a fly.
The so-called envy, jealousy, and hatred were the depiction of their hearts at this moment.
“Just wait, he won’t be happy for long. The strongest personal disciple of Molten Spirit Peak’s peak master, Nangong Mingliang, has a good relationship with Nangong Zifeng. Now that Nangong Zifeng has lost, he will definitely regain the reputation of Molten Spirit Peak.”
Those disciples who had been eliminated could only curse in their hearts, hoping that Victor would meet a stronger opponent and would be seriously injured and unable to fight again.
After Victor, the referee announced the next match.
Guo Feibai versus Su Li.
This round, the crowd was in an uproar.
Compared to Victor’s battle with Nangong Zifeng, Guo Feibai’s reputation as an external disciple was no less than that of the other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Some people even felt that Guo Feibai was stronger than the ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
For example, Huang Qi of the Spirit Spell Peak. Although he had a lot of methods and varied combat techniques, these battles were all based on his talent in setting up spells. In other words, these disciples spent more time working on other techniques.
In the long run, their experience in cultivation and combat would definitely not be as good as those disciples of the Sword Control Peak.
Guo Feibai’s opponent this time was also a disciple of the younger generation of the Sword Forging Peak.
Very soon, Guo Feibai entered the arena. He wore a green robe and held a long sword in his arms. He stood in the middle of the arena as if he was a long sword himself. If he did not use it, he would seem average. However, the moment he used it, he would show off his sharpness.
As a disciple of the Sword Forging Peak, this was Su Li’s second time participating in the Heavenly Sword Mountain grand competition. Last time, his results were average, and he only got a spot in 30th place.
Now, his cultivation had further improved, and he had entered the finals with a complete victory. Entering the final top 20 rankings was already a certain.
“Disciple of the Sword Hut, Guo Feibai, please advise!”
No matter who his opponent was, Guo Feibai would perform a salute before the battle.
“Please!”
Su Li said with a smile. Although he was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, after so many matches, he also knew that his opponent was not an ordinary swordsman.
Therefore, he did not look down on him.
As he spoke, he pulled out a large sword from his storage ring. It was a fiery red sword.
He waved it gently, and the body of the sword lit up with a scorching flame. The heatwave surged toward Guo Feibai like a tidal wave. Some of the audience who were close to him could not help but take a few steps back.
“This blazing heatwave… This Su Li is definitely not ordinary. I’m afraid it’s almost comparable to Victor’s flame just now.”
“This year’s competition is really full of geniuses. Not only did the outer sect disciples have a few geniuses, but the genius disciples of our Heavenly Sword Mountain also increased.”
“Look at the temperature on Su Li’s sword. One look and you can tell that he has refined the flames of the Sword Forging technique to the extreme. It’s really too abnormal.”
“That being said, I think more highly of Guo Feibai. After all, his previous performance was too eye-catching.”
“Yeah, I think he can finish the battle within 20 moves.”
Although Su Li’s performances had proved that he was capable, the disciples present still thought highly of Guo Feibai.
“Brother Guo, take my Blazing Prairie Fire!”
In the arena, Su Li made his move.
His first move was his signature move. Only the sound of burning flames could be heard on the stage.
Countless flames covered the sky and earth as they enveloped Guo Feibai. What was absolutely strange was that these flames were not scattered like ordinary flames. Instead, they formed a large net as if they were a whole.
“This is flame entrapment. The difficulty of this move is extremely high. Su Li actually learned such a complicated technique?”
A Sword Forging Peak disciple looked at Su Li’s move and could not help but exclaim in admiration. Such a move required extremely high mental strength. For Su Li to be able to reach this level, it meant that his ability to control flames had improved.
Such an improvement could not be achieved in a short period of time. There was only one possibility, and that was that the Sword Forging Peak had provided him resources. This disciple looked at Su Li with envious eyes.
This was the privilege of a core disciple. Even if they were ordinary disciples who had stayed in the sect for decades and worked hard for the sect, such resources would never belong to them.
Facing the fiery red net of flames, Guo Feibai remained calm.
“Rainbow Piercing Sun!”
He drew his sword at a speed that was not visible to ordinary people. With a flash of green light, it was as if an Azure Dragon had appeared in an instant.
The green sword qi and the flames collided.
Bang! Bang!
An intense explosion sounded, and the flames gradually dissipated.
They disappeared like fireworks. The audience did not have time to shift their gazes, and they saw Guo Feibai strike out with his sword once again.
This sword attack brought with it the sound of air being torn apart, and it was aimed straight at Su Li’s chest.
“Blazing Whirlpool!”
Su Li was shocked. He had not expected Guo Feibai to move so quickly. He used the whirlpool to block while retreating.
The sudden appearance of the fire vortex did not affect Guo Feibai’s movements.
He waved his long sword.
“Break!”
Immediately after, a streak of sword qi rushed toward the center of the vortex with an unrivaled aura. The sword qi directly blew out the flames.
