Chapter 72: The Strongest Competition Zone, Where the Strong Gathered!
“What, even this can work?”
Song Qianqian was stunned. Wasn’t this the invisibility spell?
At this moment, a cold voice sounded, “This Ding Ling is a genius disciple of Illusionary Sword Peak. I heard that she can manipulate light and deceive the opponent’s eyes. In the last competition, Ding Ling was ranked 49th. Now that three years have passed, she has a high chance of making it into the top 30.”
Victor turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Guo Feibai. Although he did not have much contact with him, Victor could roughly feel that Guo Feibai was a person with extremely high standards. A person who could earn his praise could be considered a genius.
Victor smiled, “This is interesting. The first round is a showdown between the strong. The second stage of the competition is indeed filled with experts.”
Guo Feibai looked at Victor in surprise. “Your group is quite strong, but you seem to be very confident in yourself?”
In Victor’s group, the stronger opponents were Ji Mengyun, Jiang Wang, Ding Ling, Huang Qi, and Victor. There were five in total.
Five people fighting for three spots.
Huang Qi, as the personal disciple of the Spirit Spell Peak’s peak master, definitely took one spot, which meant that there were only two spots left.
The competition was so intense that Guo Feibai thought Victor would look solemn, but he didn’t expect Victor to smile.
Either he was very confident in his own strength, or he wanted to give up fighting for the first team. Guo Feibai felt that it should be the former.
“Jiang Wang and Ding Ling, who do you think will win?” Victor asked Guo Feibai.
Guo Feibai shook his head.
“They didn’t show their true strength in the previous matches, and they had won all matches and qualified. I can’t predict it.”
On average, there were four people who qualified in each group. Victor’s group had Huang Qi, Ji Mengyun, Jiang Wang, Ding Ling, and Victor. There were five people in total.
However, after this match, only two people would be able to maintain a winning streak.
While the two of them were talking, the battle had already begun.
This was an extremely strange battle. The audience could not see where Ding Ling was. They could only see the dazzling blade lights that dazzled their eyes.
Victor could see Ding Ling’s movements clearly with the sword intent that he had just developed.
Ding Ling waved her hand, and five blades were shot out. These blades seemed to have been shot out casually, but in fact, each of them contained enough power to instantly kill an ordinary fifth level spirit gathering realm cultivator.
Because of their fast speed, the blades left a series of afterimages.
The sharp whistling sound made people’s scalps go numb.
“Controlling the power of light is really amazing.”
Victor could clearly sense that although the main body of the blades was spiritual power, they did indeed contain a rich power of light.
This was an even rarer attribute than metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
In the blink of an eye, there were already 27 blades gleaming in the air. These blades danced recklessly in the air, but they did not attack Jiang Wang.
At this moment, Ding Ling suddenly clasped her hands together and chanted. These blades danced in the air as she gave the order.
The 27 light blades changed directions and attacked Jiang Wang altogether.
Faced with an attack that had no blind spots, Jiang Wang’s hands were flat. As he slowly put his palms together, a gentle light blossomed from his palms, and a thick light shield that looked like an eggshell appeared around his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The blades shot into the thick light shield and were immediately met with a huge resistance. Their speed was greatly reduced, and at the same time, the sharp edges of the light blades were quickly melted by the light shield.
“Zen Thousand Illusion Hand.”
Jiang Wang opened his hands, and the tips of his fingers were like flowers blooming. Countless finger prints rushed in all directions.
Ding Ling, who had been hiding under the distorted light, was forced out by Jiang Wang’s attack. Her face was full of shock.
“You’ve lost!”
Jiang Wang’s expression was as heavy as water, as if he was stating a fact. Then, he clenched his hands into fists, and a pair of golden fists appeared in front of him.
“Golden Light Qi-stabilizing Fist!”
Boom!
The huge golden fist print hit Ding Ling’s body. Ding Ling hurriedly raised the long sword in her hand to block it, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The long sword was broken, and Ding Ling’s body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the protective barrier.
“Jiang Wang wins!”
Following the referee’s announcement, the audience did not have time to react. From the beginning of the match to the end of the match, it only took less than three minutes.
Jiang Wang only used three moves, one of which was to defend, one was to test, and one was to attack.
After three moves, Ding Ling was defeated, and Jiang Wang never moved an inch. His expression was as calm as ever.
Ding Ling was not a nobody. She had been selected as a core disciple by Illusionary Sword Peak since she was young, and her talent was shocking. She was ranked 49th in the last grand competition, and was in the top 50.
No one had expected that she would lose to an outside sect disciple this time. Moreover, she had lost within three moves.
This Jiang Wang was too strong!
Guo Feibai raised his eyebrows. He would not be surprised if Jiang Wang or Ding Ling won. What surprised him was that Jiang Wang won by an overwhelming advantage.
This proved that Jiang Wang and Ding Ling were not on the same level at all.
If Jiang Wang could make it into the top ten as a disciple of an external sect, it would be enough for him to leave his own glorious deeds in the history of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Moreover, Jiang Wang had a twin brother, Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun’s strength should not be much weaker than Jiang Wang’s. It was unbelievable that a small overseas Yuelun Sect suddenly had two gifted disciples who were comparable to the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Guo Feibai could not help but glance at Victor, but noticed that Victor’s expression was still indifferent. It was obvious that he was very confident in his own strength, and was not worried about encountering those powerful opponents.
What a confident fellow!
The ancient Mystic Realm Heavenly Sword Mountain was indeed worthy. As expected, there were geniuses everywhere. This grand competition was interesting.
“The second round, Huang Qi versus Zhou Yan.”
Hearing Huang Qi’s name, Victor could not help but pay attention.
This Heavenly Sword Mountain was divided into seven peaks. They were the Sword Control Peak, Illusionary Sword Peak, Sword Forging Peak, Molten Spirit Peak, Spirit Spell Peak, Heavenly Sound Peak, and Puppet Peak.
Among them, the Sword Control Peak was the strongest. The other six peaks all had their own strengths.
For example, the Illusionary Sword Peak, Spirit Spell Peak, and Puppet Peak’s attacking methods were extremely strange. There were unique moves emerging one after another. Compared to the straightforward Sword Control Peak, the disciples of these peaks were more difficult to deal with.
Among the seven peaks, Victor was the most interested in the Spirit Spell Peak. After all, compared to the other sects, only the Spirit Spell Peak did not need any additional medium. Unfortunately, there was no good opportunity to download the skills now. These skills were not as simple as those martial art skills from the past.
Victor even began to consider whether he should join the Spirit Spell Peak if he really entered the Heavenly Sword Mountain in the future?
Zhou Yan used a defensive martial skill at the beginning of the competition, adding layer after layer of earth attribute rock shield on his body.
No one laughed at his cowardice. In fact, it required great courage to be able to compete with the personal disciples of one of the seven peak masters.
Zhou Yan himself was not a nobody. In the previous ranking, he was ranked 66th. This time, he had only lost one round in the group competition. Although the chance of entering the first team was slim, it was definitely no problem for him to enter the second team.
