Chapter 163 - 161: Eight Consecutive Wins!

Chapter 163: Chapter 161: Eight Consecutive Wins!

"The battle between the two dark horses? Isn’t Ye Zhen’s cultivation only at the mid-stage Spirit Summoning Realm? That seems similar to Cao Luo, who was just defeated by Sunx Zuohai with three kicks. It looks like Ye Zhen is most likely going to lose!"

On the stands, several clan leaders from smaller families discussed passionately; the finals were truly the most exciting.

"What do you know? My son told me that Cao Luo was also defeated by Ye Zhen. Who wins and who loses is not yet certain!"

Below the platform, the watching disciples also started to discuss.

"Hey, do you guys think Sunx Zuohai has any chance of defeating Senior Brother Ye?"

"Are you talking in your sleep, kid?"

"What was the cultivation level of Senior Brother Ye when he defeated Senior Brother Cao? And what about when Sunx Zuohai defeated him?"

"True Essence Fourth Realm! Senior Brother Ye could defeat Cao Luo at the Spirit Summoning Realm when he was in the True Essence Fourth Realm! Now that Senior Brother Ye has reached the mid-stage Spirit Summoning Realm, how astonishing must his combat power be?

Defeat Senior Brother Ye? Keep dreaming!"

As it happened, this conversation among the disciples was overheard by Sunx Zuohai, who had just walked onto the platform; his face, which had previously been triumphant, instantly turned to annoyance.

"Senior Brother Ye, I originally wanted to let you step down with dignity, but it seems that won’t be possible now."

"Within ten moves, I will surely defeat you!"

Sunx Zuohai was full of arrogance.

Hearing this, the Qiyun Sect disciples below the platform were in an uproar, and those who supported Ye Zhen couldn’t stand it and started shouting.

"Ten moves? Do you think you are Senior Brother Qu, bluffing without even drafting a story!"

Sunx Zuohai’s expression changed, "What’s the noise for? You’ll see soon enough!"

Ye Zhen, facing Sunx Zuohai’s arrogance, didn’t get angry at all; he even felt an urge to laugh.

The Sunx Zuohai before his eyes must have been suppressed for a long time before finally feeling a sense of achievement today and couldn’t help but lose restraint, leaving himself no way out.

Ye Zhen really wanted to know what his expression would be if he couldn’t get the job done in ten moves.

"Ten moves, alright then, come on!"

"Please!"

Ye Zhen made a welcoming gesture!

"Watch closely!"

Sunx Zuohai roared to the disciples below, and his aura suddenly changed; with a fierce stomp, he leaped into the air like an eagle, his legs twirling towards Ye Zhen in a chained killing blow.

"Chongyue Chain Legs!"

"First move!"

As he attacked, Sunx Zuohai actually started counting for himself, truly intending to defeat Ye Zhen within ten moves!

As his legs moved, a feeling of heavy mountains emerged; in Ye Zhen’s eyes, those attacking leg shadows seemed like a series of mountains crashing down on him in succession.

It was an attack on the mind!

Under such a mental assault, if one’s will was even slightly weak, they would immediately lose focus and then perform poorly.

However, Sunx Zuohai’s opponent was Ye Zhen!

Clang!

The Sky Crystal Sword unsheathed with a dragon-like singing sound; instantly, his Sword Vein Divine Power vibrated within him, giving rise to an enigmatic sensation.

To the spectators, it seemed as if in the moment Ye Zhen wielded his sword, he merged with the Sky Crystal Sword in hand, turning into a giant sword.

Sky-Breaking Giant Sword!

The mountains of mental assault instantly crumbled under this sword wielded by Ye Zhen.

Instantly, Sunx Zuohai’s mental focus shattered!

This was the power of Ye Zhen’s Half-vein Divine Power—Sword Heart Enlightenment!

According to Liao Feibai, the greatest use of Sword Heart Enlightenment was actually for support: aiding one’s state of mind, practice of the sword, and sword techniques, not for attack.

However, the complexities involved in the Vital Vein Forging Divine Ability were too intricate to be explained in a few words.

Without moving his figure, he pointed the Sky Crystal Sword slightly downward from a distance towards Sunx Zuohai, and in the moment when three or four meters of Sword Gang sprayed out, Sunx Zuohai’s face suddenly changed. The expressions of the spectators below also became very odd.

With Ye Zhen’s single sword strike, it seemed as if Sunx Zuohai had willingly run onto the point of Ye Zhen’s sword.

"Whip Mountain Rushing to the Moon!"

Sunx Zuohai shouted fiercely, changing his move midway in an emergency and swinging his left leg out like a whip cracking towards Ye Zhen.

But Ye Zhen had no intention of taking the blow head-on; with a step of the Chasing Star Step, he vanished from Sunx Zuohai’s view, and Sunx Zuohai’s whip kick heavily bombarded the Martial Combat Platform, scattering debris.

In the moment Sunx Zuohai retracted his kick, the icy tip of the sword already rested on Sunx Zuohai’s neck, Ye Zhen appearing bizarrely behind him.

"That’s it, you’ve lost!" Ye Zhen’s voice rang out.

As Ye Zhen’s cultivation had greatly increased, he directly used Spiritual Power to drive the Chasing Star Step, making it even more divinely transformative.

Instantly, both on the platform and below it, everyone held their breath; Sunx Zuohai’s face turned an intense red.

Everyone thought about it, especially the Qiyun Sect disciples below—who considered that Sunx Zuohai might lose, but never imagined he would be defeated so awkwardly.

It was almost without a fight that Sunx Zuohai was captured by Ye Zhen.

"First round, Ye Zhen wins, Number Ten Ye Zhen scores two points!"

As Elder Zhong’s voice rang out, Ye Zhen sheathed his Sky Crystal Sword and stepped down from the Martial Combat Platform without looking back.

Only after Ye Zhen had left the Martial Combat Platform did exclamations erupt from above and below.

Sunx Zuohai remained rigid in place, his face dark red with either anger or shame.

Actually, it wasn’t that Ye Zhen was posturing; rather, he was preparing for the subsequent fights.

The real main event was yet to come; Ye Zhen estimated that if he encountered Qu Zhanqian, it would be a fight for life or death.

Ye Zhen did not wish to affect his combat strength due to excessive draining of Spiritual Power in previous fights, which could influence the life-or-death battle against Qu Zhanqian!

Therefore, Ye Zhen chose to end the fight in the most energy-conserving and spirit power-saving way possible.

Of course, if Sunx Zuohai had not been so arrogant, perhaps Ye Zhen would have given him a rather dignified way to step down.

"Senior Brother Ye, that was so cool, the step you just took was simply too impressive. In two steps, you flashed behind him. What footwork technique was that?" Ren Xihua gave Ye Zhen a thumbs up excitedly.

"Chasing Star Step!"

With the first battle over, Elder Zhong also sped up the drawing of lots. Two Martial Combat Platforms were in use simultaneously, and soon, the second round of the point matches began.

In the second round of the points match, Ye Zhen’s opponent was ranked third in his group, possessing only the True Essence Fifth Realm Peak cultivation.

After getting on the platform, perhaps the sight of Ye Zhen defeating Sunx Zuohai in the previous match was too shocking and intimidating.

This disciple named Yua Hao, upon entering the platform, spoke with a trembling voice, "Senior Brother Ye, although you’re very formidable, I will definitely... definitely not admit defeat. To battle with a powerful opponent like you is also a rare experience!"

"Come on!" Ye Zhen smiled.

Sword Light flashed, and Yua Hao immediately launched an attack on Ye Zhen.

In fact, Ye Zhen was the kind of person who would respect you ten feet if you respected him three.

Just like with Yua Hao before him, Ye Zhen exchanged over a dozen moves with him, and eventually, with a light and breezy Winter Plum Snowbreaker, sent Yua Hao off the Martial Combat Platform.

"Ha, fourteen moves. I actually fought with Senior Brother Ye for fourteen moves before losing. It’s so unexpected!"

Once he landed, Yua Hao shouted with the joy of a child, which reached the nearby Sunx Zuohai, instantly darkening his face!

Third round, Ye Zhen wins!

Fourth round, Ye Zhen wins!

....

In the seventh round, number ten Ye Zhen against number seventeen Ren Xihua!

When this draw and number were announced, Ren Xihua’s face instantly turned dark.

The crowd both on and off the platform, however, became instantly excited.

Who is Ye Zhen?

The biggest dark horse of the Qiyun Sect!

Who is Ren Xihua?

The number one talent of the Qiyun Sect after Changsun Ran!

The battle between these two was guaranteed to be worth watching, bound to be thrilling.

In a flash, everyone’s eyes were glued to the Martial Combat Platform, waiting for the exciting performance to begin.

Under Elder Zhong’s urging, Ren Xihua slowly stepped onto the Martial Combat Platform.

"Elder Zhong, this match, I concede defeat!"

When Ren Xihua said this, the entire audience was shocked.

Not just the spectators, but even Ye Zhen was somewhat puzzled.

"Junior Brother Ren, haven’t you always been looking forward to a battle with me? Why today?" Ye Zhen asked.

Ren Xihua rolled his eyes at Ye Zhen and said, "That was before, okay! Ever since that outing with you, I haven’t had the slightest interest!"

After speaking, Ren Xihua decisively jumped off the Martial Combat Platform. Who would willingly seek out his own beating?

Only someone who had fought alongside Ye Zhen could understand how powerful Ye Zhen’s combat power truly was.

Outside the Black Water Legacy Mansion, Ren Xihua alone struggled against the Sex Fiend.

But Ye Zhen not only single-handedly conquered three Fiends but also killed each one in succession even after being injured by a sneak attack from Luv Congfei. Considering the gap between them, even thinking about it made Ren Xihua shudder with fear.

So, it was much better to concede defeat crisply and decisively.

Conceding one match didn’t matter; what was important was to conserve strength and gather points later on.

The spectators on and off the platform, on the other hand, were stunned and filled with disappointment.

However, they were even more curious about Ye Zhen’s real strength!

What kind of power did Ye Zhen possess that could make the so-called number one talent Ren Xihua admit defeat outright?

But the surprises Ye Zhen brought to everyone didn’t stop there!

In the eighth round, number ten Ye Zhen against number four Han Shi!

Number four Han Shi was ranked fourth on the Heavenly List, a genuine powerhouse at the Late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm!

This time, the audience, who had just been disappointed by Ren Xihua’s admission of defeat, were excited once again, anticipating the great battle to come!

However, as Han Shi stepped onto the Martial Combat Platform, he doused the audience’s hopes for a fierce battle with cold water once more.

"Elder Zhong, I concede this match!"

After briskly stating these words, Han Shi jumped down from the Martial Combat Platform, leaving Elder Zhong and the audience, both on and off the platform, dumbfounded.

This time, not only were the disciples astounded, but the Sect Elders on the Observation Platform were as well.

Han Shi was ranked fourth on the Heavenly List. They would believe if someone said Han Shi could lose to Ye Zhen, but conceding defeat directly was too much to accept.

On one side of the Martial Combat Platform, Qu Zhanqian was also surprised upon seeing this scene.

He had hoped to observe Ye Zhen’s true strength through this opportunity, but Ren Xihua and Han Shi had successively conceded defeat.

Especially Han Shi!

In Qu Zhanqian’s understanding, Han Shi was not someone who would easily admit defeat, yet he had conceded as well?

And considering that Han Shi was at the Late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm and he conceded without even fighting, this indicated....

Qu Zhanqian’s gaze flickered. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
