The person who came had silver hair and a brocade robe. He had a tall and straight posture, and his eyes were as bright as fire. With a wave of his backhand, he completely dispersed the Red Lotus Spirit Fire on Wang Lingfeng's arm with just brute force.
He Lianbo!
The moment he saw the person coming, Chen Cheng immediately stopped his attack and retreated to the other end of the ring.
After Chen Cheng settled down, he restrained the thunder, fire, and Sword Qi, and then lowered his eyes and glanced at Wang Lingfeng who was lying on the ground.
Although He Lianbo put out the fire in time, the power of Red Lotus Spirit Fire still burned Wang Lingfeng's entire arm.
.?? m
Its skin and flesh were like dry old tree bark, cracked in pieces, and burnt black and sticky plasma kept pouring out of the cracks.
This arm is basically useless.
Even if a panacea is used, it will take a long time to recover.
"Congratulations, Deputy Sect Master!"
The elder referee of this arena jumped onto the stage, stood in front of He Lianbo, and asked in a cold voice, "You don't know the rules of the competition. If you commit such a blatant violation, I don't need to explain the consequences, right?"
"Of course there is no need to say more."
He Lianbo said in a deep voice, "I, Divine Owl Sect Wang Lingfeng, admit defeat in this battle."
"Okay."
The elder referee nodded and said accommodatingly, "In this case, Deputy Sect Master He's foul will not be pursued."
"Congratulations, Deputy Sect Master! I don't recognize----"
Wang Lingfeng gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. "I only injured one arm----I can still persist, I can still fight----I don't admit it----"
"No, you admit it."
He Lianbo's tone was cold, and an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped him.
Wang Lingfeng suddenly trembled all over, his pupils shrank, and he swallowed back all the words left in his mouth.
Subsequently, He Lianbo set up Wang Lingfeng and turned around to return to the viewing area of the Divine Owl Sect.
Before leaving the ring, He Lianbo looked back at Chen Cheng.
Those eyes were cold and piercing, with murderous intent clearly revealed!
After leaving the arena.
He Lianbo spoke slowly and said, "We all underestimated that Chen Cheng. If we continue to fight, you may not be able to save your life."
"No----it's not that----"
Wang Lingfeng calmed down and said in a deep voice, "That kid is just a mirror image and can still cause damage - because I didn't know it, he took advantage of me - I just need to be careful, and there will never be a next time!"
"----It seems that my judgment is indeed correct. If you continue to fight, you will definitely die!"
He Lianbo said solemnly, "Chen Cheng This move is indeed a trick, but if you think he can only use tricks, you are totally wrong!"
"Your Movement Method came from a chance, and there is no way to acquire it on the market!"
"What's more, Chen Cheng can perfectly integrate your Movement Method with another Movement Method and directly use it in actual combat. What does this mean, you haven't thought about it at all?"
"This----"
Wang Lingfeng looked stunned, his eyes couldn't help but straighten, and his thoughts gradually sank in. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and cold sweat continued to break out on his palms and back.
The other side.
After the elder referee announced the result, Chen Cheng slowly walked off the ring.
At the same time, all the eyes around him were following his figure.
"Brother, how are you?" Xiang Pojun's voice was trembling.
"Very good."
Xiang Poji said in a deep voice, "In the final ranking battle, this Chen Cheng, maybe he really dares to challenge me----"
Xiang Poji paused and then said, "If you can talk to him, then you can get closer to him. After the competition, I want to make friends with him in person."
"Okay, keep it on me."
Xiang Pojun nodded heavily and immediately walked towards Chen Cheng.
aside.
When Zhou Chu saw this, his eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.
Zhou Chu knows Xiang Poji very well. He is strong in strength and has an arrogant temperament. Among his peers, there are few who can catch the eye of Xiang Poji, and there are even fewer who can make Xiang Poji take the initiative to make friends!
Thinking of this, Zhou Chu couldn't help but look at Chen Cheng a little higher.
far end.
As soon as Chen Cheng returned to his seat, the rising stars of Beidi, Vast Sea, and Star-Seizing gathered around him again, with far more enthusiasm than before.
Zhou Tianwu and Chang Yuqing, Great Elder, naturally also praised Chen Cheng.
Even Li Miaoyuan smiled and said some nice words.
Immediately afterwards, several new stars from the sect, including Xiang Pojun, took the initiative to talk and make friends with Chen Cheng.
Some of them are sincere friends, while others are just trying to test them.
Chen Cheng knows it well and naturally responds appropriately.
At this moment, the people gathered around Chen Cheng suddenly seemed to be split open by a knife, and they retreated to both sides.
Then I saw Su Heng, who was determined to be second on the list by the Spirit Sword Sect, striding towards Chen Cheng.
"Junior Brother Chen."
Su Heng had a smile on his face, took the initiative to clasp his fists, and said, "Junior brother won this battle really beautifully. Senior sister Nie specially asked me to come to congratulate her on her behalf."
"Seen Senior Brother Su."
Chen Cheng also clasped his fists and said in a humble tone, "Please Senior Brother Su also convey my gratitude to Senior Sister Nie for me."
"Definitely."
Su Heng smiled, then chatted with Chen Cheng for a few words, then said goodbye and left.
As soon as Su Heng left, people around Chen Cheng became more and more enthusiastic and flattering, wishing they could praise Chen Cheng to the sky.
Nie Yunshang is so powerful and cold and arrogant, most people have heard about it.
If Chen Cheng can catch Nie Yunshang's eyes, his weight in people's hearts will naturally increase.
And at this moment, when everyone was enthusiastic, Ji Jingyou slowly woke up, his eyes fell on the stars and the moon, and his eyes instantly became dim.
Before Ji Jingyou fell into coma, Chen Cheng refused to give up and give up, which had already caused a great psychological impact on Ji Jingyou.
And looking at the situation at this moment, Chen Cheng must have won.
Suddenly, Ji Jingyou's heart was in a state of turmoil, and he could not calm down no matter what!
After a while.
A young disciple ran over and invited Chen Cheng to Zhao Keqian's side.
"Meet Zhao Great Elder."
Chen Cheng clasped his fists and bowed with courtesy Zhou Quan, showing no arrogance after a great victory.
"No gift."
Zhao Keqian said with a smile, "You are really not that simple. I was just worried that you might be injured or even killed in battle. I never expected that you could surprise everyone with your skills and defeat the strong with the weak!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Chen Cheng's heart couldn't help but move slightly.
His skills shocked everyone, and the weak defeated the strong!
Chen Cheng had just heard too many beautiful words, but now Zhao Keqian's eight-character comment hit the point.
In terms of strength, Chen Cheng is indeed weaker than Wang Lingfeng.
However, in terms of techniques and skills, Chen Cheng's performance is absolutely amazing.
The weak defeat the strong, the victory is real and undisputed!
"What are your plans next?" Zhao Keqian asked, "Are you going to give up when things get better? Or are you going to compete for the top three this year?"
"Please give me some advice from Great Elder." Chen Cheng kicked the ball back.
Zhao Keqian smiled and said, "Originally, according to the level of cultivation, the top three are tentatively Xiang Poji, Nie Yunshang, and Wang Lingfeng."
"But Wang Lingfeng has been defeated by you. According to the realm of cultivation, the third place in the order will be Spirit Sword Sect, Su Heng."
"If you want to compete for third place, you have to challenge Su Heng. This guy's cultivation level is only slightly inferior to Wang Lingfeng. He must not be underestimated!"
"Thank you Great Elder for the tip."
Chen Cheng clasped his fists in thanks.
The information provided by Zhao Keqian at this moment is undoubtedly a very important reference factor for Chen Cheng's next decision.
"The Movement Method you just combined with the fire technique Thunder Method is quite amazing."
Zhao Keqian said in a deep voice, "However, if the same technique is to be used on a master for the second time, the success rate will be extremely low----"
"To put it bluntly, if you still have a trump card, you can challenge Su Heng. If you don't, your chances of winning are slim."
Zhao Keqian paused and then said, "Of course, even if you still have a trump card, I suggest you hide it a little. After all, you have offended Xue Household and Divine Owl Sect, so you have to leave yourself some backup, right?"
"What Great Elder said is true!"
Chen Cheng nodded vigorously, obviously agreeing with Zhao Keqian.
The reason why the trump card is called the trump card is that it is used to support the finale. It will never be revealed to others unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Of course, then again."
Zhao Keqian suddenly changed the topic and said, "If you can really compete for the top three, Vast Righteousness Alliance Outer Sect's status and respect will naturally rise. As long as you live in seclusion, Xue Household and Divine Owl Sect will not dare to do anything to you."
"Dare to ask Great Elder----"
Chen Cheng asked in a low voice, "What practical benefits will there be to competing for the top three?"
"You kid, you really have a back-up plan!"
Zhao Keqian smiled and said, "The top three will have a chance to enter Qi Palace once a month." After practicing for a day and night, the Primordial Qi in the palace will be extremely full and pure, which will be of great benefit to the advancement of cultivation."
"In addition, the top three will each receive a Supreme-Grade Aperture-Refining Profound Pill and a top-quality Aperture-Nourishing Profound Pill."
"You can also enter the first floor of "Scripture Pavilion" and choose a martial arts for free."
"Finally, there will be some differences in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"That's it----"
Chen Cheng nodded and asked, "If the disciple understands correctly, the first and third rewards are the same?"
"The first three are the same."
Zhao Keqian said, "Those who can rank among the top three are the targets of the alliance's key training. In order to avoid casualties caused by competing for rankings, the senior management has set a rule for equal rewards."
"For the same reason, the bottom nine will not be ranked. Once you get the quota, there will be no need to fight again. This is also to reduce the casualties of core talents as much as possible."
"I understand----"
Chen Cheng nodded, with no emotion on his face but a somewhat complicated mood.
In the eyes of the Vast Righteousness Alliance's senior management, only the top twelve today are considered core talents, and casualties must be reduced. As for the others
The casualties are not considered----
The strong are respected, the weak are the original sin----
In this world, this sentence seems to be an iron rule that applies to everyone.
The same applies to Chen Cheng himself.
If Chen Cheng is weak, Zhao Keqian will never show kindness to him, let alone what Xue Household and Divine Owl Sect will do to him.
We still have to fight for the top three----
Chen Cheng made a decision in an instant.
This time is not only to compete for rewards, but also to compete for my future status and importance in the Vast Righteousness Alliance.
Strive for a safer and more secure situation.
"How's it going? Have you thought about it?"
Zhao Keqian said, "If it doesn't work, you can give it a try and fight if you can stand up. If there is any danger, let your team leader Northern Emperor Sect protect you. Anyway, He Lianbo has broken the rules, so I will not hold you accountable."
"Understood."
Chen Cheng nodded, but didn't say much.
Obviously, Zhao Keqian's proposal is very pertinent and very practical. It does not give up the opportunity, but also leaves sufficient escape route for Chen Cheng.
It's a pity that Lu Mingyang was called away by the league's senior leaders and has not returned yet. The remaining Li Miaoyuan and Chen Cheng cannot be counted on at all.
Of course, Chen Cheng has no intention of counting on anyone.
After a while.
The remaining matches of this round are all over.
There are nine people in the winning group, Xiang Poji, Nie Yunshang, Su Heng, Zhou Chu----Chen Cheng.
The loser group was supposed to have nine players, but three of them abstained due to injuries.
The remaining six people are Ji Jingyou, Tan Chen, Gu Tan, Wang Lingfeng, and two other young people.
Compared with the serious injuries suffered by the three people who abstained, Wang Lingfeng only injured one arm. With the help of many high-quality wound medicines, taken internally and externally, the injury has been basically stabilized, and he can still fight.
Then comes the draw for the losers group.
The six-person duel can just decide the last three places. Together with the nine people in the winner group, there are twelve candidates who can directly enter Vast Righteousness Alliance Outer Sect this year.
The drawing of lots is over and the battle begins.
In the three competitions, Wang Lingfeng, who fought with one arm, was the first to win. He defeated Gu Tan within three moves and successfully won a spot.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Jingyou seemed to have a mental problem, and soon he was defeated. He seemed to have lost his soul, was confused, and almost fainted again.
In the end, Tan Chen fought for hundreds of rounds with all his strength. At the critical moment, relying on the guidance given by Chen Cheng through his mind connection, he barely defeated his opponent and won the last place.
"The top twelve places for this competition have all been finalized!"
Zhao Keqian walked into the arena and said loudly, "According to the rules, the next step is the final ranking battle. The top three are tentatively determined to be Xiang Poji, Nie Yunshang, and Su Heng!"
"The bottom nine can challenge them, and whoever they defeat can replace them!"
As soon as this statement came out.
The top three stood on a stage respectively, waiting for the challenge.
The last nine people looked at each other and hesitated to move forward.
At this stage, the strength of the top three is no longer a secret.
Whether they can fight or not, the last nine people already know in their hearts.
If you are not strong enough and forcefully challenge, it is a small thing to be embarrassed, but it is a big thing to be injured or killed.
Although the rewards for the top three are very good, considering the risks involved, those rewards are not so attractive.
"If no one challenges you, then I declare——"
Zhao Keqian waited for a moment and was about to speak to finalize the final result, but was suddenly interrupted.
"Wait!"
Nie Yunshang took a step forward, his voice was cold, but it revealed the domineering and arrogance of someone who has been in power for a long time, "I want to challenge Xiang Poji!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Including Zhao Keqian, almost everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment.
In the eyes of most people, first and second place are just empty names. The rewards and benefits are the same. There is no need to compete for this ranking.
But obviously, Nie Yunshang doesn't think so.
Ever since she started practicing martial arts, she has always been the best among her peers.
Even if it is a false reputation, she still wants to fight for it!
