Chapter 37 Luck?
"So strong!"
Zeng Yi's face changed drastically, feeling the horror of Ji Chen's sword.
"Buzz!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and in an instant, a thick energy barrier condensed around his body.
Ji Chen's sword was so fast that he had no way to dodge it and could only take it.
"boom!"
Finally, a loud bang erupted and spread all around, and then everyone could see that Zeng Yi was chopped back by Ji Chen's sword.
His body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground below the ring.
"The winner is Ji Chen!"
After a brief silence, the voice of Elder Xu Yan was heard.
There was also a hint of surprise in his words.
Obviously, before the battle began, Elder Xu Yan had not expected that the outcome of the fight between the two sides would be decided so quickly.
Moreover, although they both had the same cultivation level of the first level of the Condensing Veins Realm, Ji Chen was able to defeat the opponent with just one sword. It can be imagined that his true combat power had already far surpassed that of people at the same level.
"Wow!"
In the surrounding audience seats, there were also many people who were paying attention to the No. 10 ring, and now they couldn't help but burst into exclamations.
"Who is this person?"
"What a strong strength! He defeated someone of the same realm with just one sword!"
Many people were talking about it, with expressions of great surprise on their faces.
"This rebellious son... is actually this amazing?"
Similarly, Ji Xiaotian's face was filled with shock, and he couldn't help but frown, "What on earth happened to him?"
"Wow!"
Ji Xueruo shouted, "Sister Yanran, did you see that? Ji Chen is so powerful that he defeated his opponent with just one sword!"
"What he used just now... seems to be a very basic sword technique?" Ji Yanran frowned slightly, and was extremely shocked in her heart.
She recognized that the martial arts Ji Chen was using at this moment was actually the extremely common sword-drawing technique.
This basic sword technique can be found not only in the Yuhua Sect, but also in many large and small sects and families.
"In the next match, Tang San will fight against Fang Han!" Elder Xu Yan shouted again.
The game continued, and Ji Chen shocked everyone with his sword, but that was actually all.
In today's competition, besides him, there are also some other disciples whose fighting is remarkable and very exciting.
"The first round of competition is over, and the second round of drawing lots will begin now."
Finally, about two hours later, all the one hundred people in the No. 10 ring had competed. The losers were eliminated directly. There were still fifty people left on the field. Now they needed to conduct a second round of drawing lots to select their respective opponents.
What surprised Ji Chen was that he was given a bye in the second round of the draw.
This means that he does not need to appear in the second round of the competition and can directly participate in the draw for the third round.
"Not bad luck."
He smiled, muttered to himself, then found a relatively comfortable place to sit down, waiting for the end of the second round of competition.
The further you go, the stronger the opponents you will encounter, because those who can defeat their opponents one after another and advance to the next round will naturally not be simple people.
Soon, another hour passed.
The second round of competition is over.
Now, most of the people in Arena No. 10 have been eliminated, leaving only twenty disciples.
The cultivation of these twenty people is not simple. Except for Ji Chen, the strength of all of them has reached the third level of the Condensation Vein Realm or above.
As long as they can win this game, it means that they will be in the top ten of Group 10 and directly advance to the main competition. That is the real highlight of this competition.
Soon, the draw results came out.
Ji Chen was the first to go on stage.
His opponent is a man named Jiang Hong, who is at the peak of the third level of the Condensation Vein Realm.
"I'm lucky. I didn't expect to be drawn against you in this final match. As long as I defeat you, I can directly advance to the finals today."
The two men went on stage and stood opposite each other. Jiang Hong had a faint smile on his face and looked very confident, as if he had Ji Chen in his grasp.
Although he had also heard about Ji Chen and knew that he had defeated Song Feiyu, in Jiang Hong's opinion, he was much stronger than Song Feiyu.
After all, Ji Chen is currently only at the first level of the Condensation Vein Realm. Jiang Hong is very confident that he can win and advance easily.
"Sister Yanran, do you think Ji Chen will win?"
From the direction of the audience, Ji Xueruo spoke with some concern.
Jiang Hong is at the peak of the third level of the Condensed Veins Realm, and is only one step away from the fourth level.
Now, Ji Chen is facing such a person, and Ji Xueruo thinks it will probably be a tough battle.
"not sure."
Ji Yanran shook her head. She had no idea about Ji Chen's true fighting ability, but at this moment, she could vaguely see a kind of confidence on Ji Chen's face.
"Look, look, the final round of the tenth group is about to begin."
"The first person to come on stage... seems to be that Ji Chen? In the previous fight, he defeated a master of the same level with just one sword!"
"I don't think I saw him play in the second round? Did he have a bye? He's really lucky to have one less game to play, and as long as he wins this one, he can advance to the main tournament."
"Advancing to the main competition at the first level of Condensing Veins Realm? What kind of incredible luck does this require?"
"Don't say it too early. Ji Chen's opponent is very powerful and has reached the peak of the third level of the Condensed Veins Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely lose."
In the audience seats, many people also looked in the direction of the tenth group and talked non-stop.
Ji Xiaotian sat quietly in the same place, his eyes also looking at Ji Chen who was standing on the stage. He snorted coldly, "This rebellious boy is indeed lucky. It is not easy to get to this point. However, he will definitely lose this battle."
In Ji Xiaotian's opinion, it was simply a pipe dream to want to defeat Jiang Hong, who was at the peak of the third level of Condensing Veins Realm, with the first level of Condensing Veins Realm.
"The realm gap is too big. Unless it is a genius like Wushuang or Yanran, they may be able to defeat such an opponent by leaps and bounds. But this rebellious son, hehe..."
He sneered and then said nothing more.
……
At the same time, on the stage, Ji Chen just stood there quietly, looking at Jiang Hong.
"Don't waste your time, Ji Chen. You have no chance of winning against me. I'll let you make the first move. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be defeated too easily and won't even have a chance to fight back."
Jiang Hong spoke in a calm voice, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he did not take Ji Chen seriously at all.
"Buzz!"
Ji Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard that, but he didn't bother to talk nonsense. He stood still. After two breaths, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then the wooden sword was unsheathed.
He used the sword-drawing technique again, and the sharp sword energy slashed towards Jiang Hong out of thin air. The speed was so fast that people could only see a faint light moving.
"How arrogant! Do you think this basic swordsmanship will be useful against me?"
Jiang Hong sneered, but the moment his voice fell and the sword light approached his eyes, the smile on his face suddenly froze and his expression changed drastically.
"So strong!"
In Ji Chen's sword, he felt an astonishing aura. It was clearly just a very basic low-level Yellow Grade sword technique, but at this moment, it felt to him as if it was high-level Yellow Grade, or even reached the low-level Profound Grade!
