Top Three

Su Hai exerted all his strength, blocking the three incoming saber strikes.

Boom, boom, boom!

After blocking the first saber strike, Su Hai's entire body trembled violently.

With the second saber strike, Su Hai retreated five steps.

With the third saber strike, Su Hai slid back more than ten meters, falling off the competition stage.

He lost!

Su Hai, with his early Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, was defeated by Wei Rufeng in three moves.

"The Blazing Flame Saber Technique of the Blazing Sun Sect truly lives up to its reputation!"

"This saber technique is a top-tier Second Grade Middle Rank saber technique, its power is naturally immense!"

"With Wei Rufeng's strength, I estimate that Su Tianhao and Lin Qiong might not even be his match!"

The crowd was greatly shocked. Wei Rufeng's strength was astonishingly powerful; he could crush Su Hai without even using a saber.

On the Wei family's viewing platform, Wei Wankong wore a wide smile, exuding confidence.

"Su Hai, you were able to withstand my three moves, your strength is already quite impressive!"

Wei Rufeng's expression was arrogant. Then, his eyes fell upon Lin Qiong and Su Tianhao below the stage, his gaze filled with intense fighting spirit.

"Wei Rufeng wins! Participants five and six, please ascend the stage!"

Lin De announced.

Su Mo stepped onto the stage. His opponent was a disciple from the Wei family, Wei Kun.

"A trash at Qi Cultivation Level Seven, and you still want to enter the top three?"

Wei Kun's face was filled with mockery as he coldly shouted, "I'll give you ten breaths of time to scram!"

Wei Kun's words were domineering and sharp, incredibly arrogant, as if Su Mo could be easily manipulated before him.

Su Mo smiled, his gaze appraising the other person as if he were looking at an idiot.

"What are you smiling about?" Wei Kun asked coldly. "Could it be that you still want to fight me?"

"With a mere Qi Cultivation Level Eight Peak cultivation, you're already so arrogant and condescending. Your Wei family members truly are all the same."

Su Mo taunted.

"Mere?"

Wei Kun was taken aback. Then, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes. "Indeed, ignorance breeds fearlessness. Ten breaths have already passed. Even if you wanted to surrender, I wouldn't give you the chance!"

Wei Kun's body erupted with a surging aura. He slightly shifted his stance, gently lifting his right leg as boundless True Qi surged into it.

The next moment, Wei Kun shot out like a leopard, leaping high into the air and slashing down diagonally with his leg.

"Mountain Shaking Leg Technique! One leg moves mountains!"

Wei Kun's leg strike was powerful and heavy, as weighty as a mountain. The immense leg force stirred up a gust of fierce wind.

Su Mo's clothes rustled in the wind, but he remained still.

Soon, the powerful leg strike hit Su Mo.

"Not good!"

But Wei Kun's heart sank, because what he hit was merely an afterimage.

"This leg strike isn't bad, but unfortunately, your attack speed is too slow!"

Su Mo's voice came from behind Wei Kun, accompanied by a formidable fist wind.

Wei Kun had no time to think. Just as he landed, he swept his leg backward.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the fist wind dissipated, and the leg force shattered.

Wei Kun staggered back five steps, his face filled with shock.

The surrounding crowd was quite astonished. Su Mo had actually repelled Wei Kun.

"How can Su Mo be this strong? Wei Kun is at the Qi Cultivation Level Eight Peak!"

The crowd was clearly not expecting this. Although Su Mo had been able to fight opponents of higher cultivation levels before, that was when he was only at Qi Refining Fifth Layer. As one's cultivation progressed, the gap between each level widened, making it increasingly difficult to fight across levels.

Could Su Mo be such a genius that he could still fight across cultivation levels now?

The crowd couldn't help but ponder.

Furthermore, Su Mo's sword skills were extremely impressive, and he hadn't even used his sword yet!

"This is impossible!"

Wei Kun's face darkened, and he roared, "How can you possibly be so strong?"

"This is ridiculous! Are others only allowed to be weaker than you, and not stronger? You can't accept it when someone is stronger than you!"

Su Mo was utterly speechless.

"I don't believe you can beat me!"

Wei Kun roared, charging at Su Mo again. He spread his arms like a roc spreading its wings, his long, powerful legs kicking out in rapid succession.

"Chain Lightning Leg!"

Chish chish chish chish!

Countless leg shadows surged forward like a tidal wave, their sharp force sweeping through the air, powerfully overwhelming.

"I don't have time to play with you!"

Su Mo coldly shouted, increasing his strength to thirty percent. His fists moved, his fist force like a great river, continuous and unending.

The sky full of leg shadows shattered instantly. Su Mo's figure flickered, rapidly passing through the chaotic airflow, and he punched Wei Kun's foot.

Thump!

Wei Kun's body was sent flying high into the air, crashing out of the arena.

Su Mo turned and walked off the stage.

"Good, a beautiful victory!"

Su Hong exclaimed in delight.

Xi'er, standing behind Su Hong, also had a smile on her face, secretly happy for Su Mo.

Wei Wankong's expression was not good. He glanced at his son, then his expression calmed.

So what if he defeated Wei Kun? He would still be miserably defeated when facing Wei Rufeng.

"Su Mo wins!"

Lin De announced, then continued, "Su Tianhao, you may freely choose an opponent. If you win, you will replace their top three position."

Su Tianhao was contestant number seven.

Su Tianhao stepped onto the stage, his eyes scanning below.

Now, besides himself, there were only three others: Lin Qiong, Su Mo, and Wei Rufeng.

"Lin Qiong, let's have a match!"

After a moment of thought, Su Tianhao chose Lin Qiong.

Wei Rufeng's aura was too strong, so Su Tianhao decided to face him last.

As for Su Mo, he disdained challenging him.

Therefore, he chose Lin Qiong.

"Heh heh, Su Tianhao chose Lin Qiong. No matter who wins or loses between them, one will definitely be eliminated. Su Mo is guaranteed to enter the top three!"

"Su Mo is truly lucky. He didn't encounter anyone at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation and directly reached the top three."

"That's right! Su Hai, who was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, was eliminated, yet he managed to last until the end."

The crowd praised Su Mo's luck.

Lin Qiong, dressed in a blue outfit with a graceful figure, stepped onto the stage and landed steadily.

"Su Tianhao, I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time!"

Lin Qiong smiled slightly.

"Me too!"

Su Tianhao nodded and said, "Then, let's fight!"

With that, yellow light erupted behind Su Tianhao, and the phantom image of a giant rock appeared.

Rock Martial Soul!

Su Tianhao's Martial Soul flashed with four yellow halos, indicating it was a Human Grade Fourth Tier Martial Soul.

In Linyang City, among the younger generation, a Human Grade Fourth Tier Martial Soul was already considered top-tier. Only Su Yu possessed a Human Grade Fifth Tier Martial Soul.

Facing Lin Qiong, Su Tianhao dared not be careless and immediately unleashed his Martial Soul.

Martial Soul power provided a significant boost to a martial artist's strength, and the higher the Martial Soul's rank, the greater the boost.

Lin Qiong also unleashed her Martial Soul.

Lin Qiong's Martial Soul was a sword, a black iron longsword, sharp and cold.

It was also Human Grade Fourth Tier.

"Condensing Water Sword Skill!"

With a clang, the longsword was drawn from its sheath. Lin Qiong attacked first.

As the longsword slashed, a large amount of water vapor condensed in the air. The water vapor was like sharp blades, incredibly sharp, cutting through the void along with the sword light.

"This move is useless against me!"

Su Tianhao's calm voice echoed. True Qi surged throughout his body, and the phantom image of his Martial Soul completely enveloped him.

Clang clang clang clang!

The sword light struck Su Tianhao's body, shattering every time. It couldn't break through his defense.

Rock Martial Soul, incredibly strong defense!
