Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 187
Chapter 187 A Punch
As Daoist Primordius announced the start of the competition, everyone stood up and walked towards the signing cage. Ye Feng was not in a hurry as he watched as each of them drew out a bamboo lot.
When there was not much left, Ye Feng walked up and took out a bamboo lot from the lot cage. There was a series of numbers written on the lot cage, number 500. In other words, Ye Feng had to be in the fifth round before he could play.
Ye Feng did not know who his opponent was, so he could only wait quietly. A hundred arenas suddenly lit up, and someone had already landed on arena number one. Then, the second arena lit up, and someone else landed on arena number one.
In just a few breaths of time, all 100 arenas lit up, and 200 disciples appeared together, ranking from number one to number one.
“Look, three Eldest Senior Brothers of the Inner Sect appeared in the first round. What’s going on?”
Ye Feng also looked over. One of them, Ye Feng, had even seen the ghost of the Asura Hall. The others, Ye Feng, had never seen it before.
However, from the mouths of these disciples, Ye Feng quickly learned that the other eldest senior brothers of the hall entrance were the Weapon Monastery Berserk Saber on stage 7, Ye Wuyou from the Martial Arch Academy on stage 20, and Gui Ming. In the first round, three eldest senior brothers of the hall entrance appeared together.
Amongst the three of them, the one that attracted Ye Feng the most was Gui Ming. His strength was unfathomable. Compared to back in the Blood Demon Battlefield, his aura was even more sophisticated. Especially the sword in his hand, it was even more shocking. Before he could attack, his opponent began to tremble.
The battle began instantly. The upper echelons of the academy watched. They put in all their effort to obtain a good ranking. More importantly, if they were to obtain the top 60, they would have a chance to enter the illusion realm. How many disciples dreamed of entering the illusion realm?
“Bang, bang, bang!”
In just a few breaths of time, several people had already been knocked flying into the arena and instantly eliminated.
Ye Feng’s gaze landed firmly on Gui Ming’s body. Seeing his sword unsheathed, his opponent fell directly under the arena. He was completely unable to see what kind of martial skill he was using.
“I didn’t expect Senior Martial Brother Guiming’s swordsmanship to be even more amazing. His Fast Word Swordsmanship has already reached perfection.”
Someone began to praise him. It seemed that he understood Gui Ming’s swordsmanship very well.
“Within the inner sect, only Gui Jianchou of the First Heaven is able to compete with Gui Ming in terms of speed. Both of their swordsmanship have withdrawn at the same time. Both of them use the word” fast “as their leader. Ghosts and gods are unfathomable.”
After the battle ended, someone began to make a conclusion.
Arena No.7 Berserk Blade and Arena No.20 Ye Wuyou defeated their opponents in one move and successfully advanced.
This time, there were a total of 3,000 disciples participating in the inner sect competition. On the first day, more than half of them would be eliminated. The rest would continue to compete tomorrow, until the last hundred or so disciples were selected. They would be eligible to enter the illusion.
Battles were not conducted casually. There was a time limit, and each battle could not last longer than half an hour. If victory or defeat could not be decided within half an hour, then the strength of the attack would be used as the criterion.
For example, if the strength of both sides were the same, A attacked B five palms, and three palms struck, while B struck A three palms, and one palm struck, then A would win. In order to save time, otherwise, if the battle continued without limit, three days would not end.
The first round ended very quickly. It was only an incense stick of time. The victories and losses were quickly decided. Those disciples who had been eliminated in the first round had dejected expressions, especially those disciples who had met the eldest senior brothers of the various halls. When they left, they were still muttering to themselves. Why did they meet them in the first round?
The second round began very quickly. This time, there were no bright spots. The winner and loser were decided very quickly. The longest battle lasted for half an hour. In the end, the winner and loser were judged by their offensive power.
In the third and fourth rounds, 400 people had already been eliminated by the fifth round.
Ye Feng was number five hundred. The fifth round was the last to go on stage. After the first four rounds, Xuan courtyard was eliminated by seventy people. Only three people barely managed to pass. It seemed that Xuan courtyard’s strength was indeed at the bottom of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy.
Now, it could be seen that the number one Heavenly Clan, Yizhong Tian, had won completely without losing. In the second Heavenly Star Academy, only five disciples had been eliminated, and in the third Wenxing Academy, only ten disciples had been eliminated.
There were more than ten people eliminated from the other halls, and there were also dozens of people. Only the Xuan courtyard eliminated the most. Even the array temple that was ranked behind the Xuan courtyard in the previous year was very eye-catching this time. Some array geniuses used the array to win successively.
“Looks like the courtyard of Xuan is destined to be at the end of this year!”
After the four rounds ended, someone had already given an answer. Judging from the performance of the array temple, it was possible for it to break through to the top five. However, the first four rounds of the courtyard did not have any bright spots.
With a leap, Ye Feng slowly descended from the high stage using the Phantom Shadow Movement Technique. His movement technique was extremely elegant, unlike some disciples who were extremely rough. Even if they landed on the arena, they could make a dull sound.
It was like a floating flock, without any weight, wanting to ride the wind, Ye Feng’s body fell so lightly, causing many people to cry out in alarm.
“What a profound movement technique!”
Some young girls began to cheer for Ye Feng, their eyes revealing small stars. Ye Feng’s movements were elegant, coupled with his handsome face, he immediately subdued some young girls.
“It’s just a show-off. It’s not like you can win a battle by relying on your movement technique.”
Some people were unconvinced and began to boo, believing that Ye Feng was showing off.
A figure had already stood on stage # 100. Seeing Ye Feng slowly descend, a look of contempt appeared in his eyes.
“You won’t be able to win by relying on movement techniques. I advise you to obediently scram back!”
This man was two meters tall and very sturdy. He did not seem to recognize Ye Feng. The moment Ye Feng landed, he let out a sinister smile.
“Only after the competition will we know!”
Ye Feng said coldly.
“You don’t know whether to die or not. Since you’re unwilling to admit defeat, I’ll throw you out and let you know how powerful my Western Domain Berserk Bull is.”
This man reported himself to his family. His body was indeed like a mad cow. It was too sturdy. An explosive force seemed to be able to burst his clothes.
“It’s actually the Western Domain’s Berserk Bull. This brat is in danger.”
In the middle area, everyone could clearly see every move on the arena. Hearing the name of the burly man, some people began to feel sorry for Ye Feng. The first round actually met the Berserk Bull. It was really unfair.
Ye Feng sneered and did not say anything. He quietly looked at his opponent, not even emitting an imposing aura.
“Kid, you look like a new disciple. Don’t blame me, Berserk Bull, for not giving you a chance. I’ll give you a move. Take action first!”
The Berserk Bull was indeed crazy enough. He stretched out a finger and waved it at Ye Feng. He actually let Ye Feng attack first.
“Since that’s the case, then I won’t stand on ceremony!”
Ye Feng was too lazy to talk to him. Although the Berserk Bull’s strength was not bad and was infinitely close to the Earth Martial Realm, in Ye Feng’s eyes, it was still an ant-like character.
With a flick of his body, he was like a cannonball that fiercely rushed over. It was just a punch, and Ye Feng did not even use his True Qi. He relied on the strength of his physical body, like a ferocious beast that fiercely collided over.
An incomparable power pierced through the air. Although Ye Feng did not have the support of True Qi, he was still able to shoot out hundreds of flying dragons. It was extremely terrifying.
His arm was like a golden dragon, releasing waves of dragon cries, followed by a vast Underworld God’s might. Ye Feng’s body contained the Asura God’s blood essence. This was the ancestor of the demon race. In ancient times, the demon race was the dominant race, and they were the most talented race. They could evolve by devouring the blood essence, much faster than humans.
The Western Domain Berserk Bull’s eyes narrowed. It seemed that he did not expect Ye Feng’s strength to be so strong. He began to regret it. Why did he let a move go? He did not have enough time to think. He swung his fist and actually counterattacked back.
“Shh shh …”
Boos came from all around. Just now, the Western Domain Berserk Bull wanted to make Ye Feng move, but many people heard it clearly. Now, they actually violated their promises and attacked brazenly.
At the moment Ye Feng attacked, many experts in the middle area looked over. Red Moon sat in the first row, still wearing a veil. She could not see her true appearance clearly, and her gaze swept across Ye Feng’s body.
Sitting beside her was Protector Gao. His gaze also fell on Ye Feng, wanting to see how Ye Feng defeated his opponent.
The arena was very large. Each arena was a hundred square meters in size. It was suitable for battle. The distance between the two of them was only ten meters, and they instantly collided.
“Bang!”
It was like a bomb exploding between the two of them. A storm surged out, causing a gust of wind to blow a figure into the air and fiercely throw it. It was like a kite had its string cut by someone, unable to control the direction of the kite.
“Kacha!”
The moment the human body flew up, a cracking sound came from his body. This was a crack in his bones.
“Pu!”
The matter was far from over. Next, a wisp of blood shot out. The arena was paved with high-grade bluestones. It was several times harder than ordinary bluestones. Even a sword or blade could not crack it. This bluestone was even harder than ordinary metal.
Fresh blood spilled onto the bluestone and was instantly absorbed without a trace. This kind of bluestone was very strange, and it could also absorb some things to avoid cleaning up the battlefield.
“Boom!”
After a breath, the figure fell out of the arena and landed on the ground. It made an extremely dull sound. Its body was tightly stuck to the ground. The judge walked over to take a look and found that the person lying on the ground had fainted.
“This round, Ye Feng wins!”
Each disciple had a token on his waist with his own name engraved on it. The referee quickly announced the result.
Although Ye Feng’s name had a certain reputation in the inner sect, there were still some people who did not understand it very well, especially those disciples who had just returned this time. They were basically blurry.
Seeing Ye Feng deal with his opponent with one punch, Yang Hua nodded his head in satisfaction. Ye Feng saw that he was going to follow a domineering path. This was his style.
In the fifth round, Ye Feng was the first to end his opponent and return to his own area. The four of them immediately came up to congratulate him.
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds had ended. In the eighth round, Qi Ruomei appeared on the stage. When his opponent saw that it was the Big Senior Sister of the Black-White Hall, he voluntarily gave up.
By the afternoon, the fifteen rounds of the competition had ended, eliminating a total of 1,500 people. There were only about a hundred people left in the courtyard of Xuan.
