Xu Jun and Chen Yunjing stepped onto the arena almost at the same time.

The moment they stepped onto the arena, the elemental energy around them erupted like surging rivers, filling the entire stage!

At last, Lin Feng also landed lightly upon the arena.

Many of the spectators wore complicated expressions. After all, many had initially believed that the top three would be Xu Jun, Chen Yunjing, and Wei Changfeng. They had never expected Lin Feng to force his way in!

With Lin Feng's methods, he had defeated Wei Changfeng so effortlessly. How would he fare against Xu Jun and Chen Yunjing?

This was a chaotic melee, an unprecedented spectacle for the million Registered Disciples. After all, Xu Jun and Chen Yunjing were both geniuses with Venerable Realm backers.

As for Lin Feng, he had defeated Wei Changfeng, who was at the Second Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, while only at the Eighth Layer of Blood Tempering!

Such strength was even more shocking!

The three represented formidable fighting power. It could be said that even in the outer sect, they would not be at the bottom—at the very least, they would rank in the middle to upper tiers!

Discussions rang out everywhere, and many of them revolved around Lin Feng. After all, he was an unpredictable variable. Before this, no one could have imagined that he would enter the top three and even pursue first place!

Upon the arena that held the gaze of countless people.

Xu Jun drew a Spirit Sword. Sword Qi ran rampant without the slightest restraint as his gaze sharpened. "I am determined to obtain the Sword Tempering Pool quota. No one can compete with me for it. Chen Yunjing, get down."

Chen Yunjing sneered. "Is it not important to me as well?"

As he spoke, a long spear appeared in his hand. The spear moved like a wandering dragon, radiating a terrifying aura!

By comparison, the long sword Lin Feng held looked like a piece of junk picked up from the roadside. It could only be described as utterly ordinary!

The two formed a triangular formation, yet it was as though Xu Jun and Chen Yunjing had not noticed Lin Feng at all.

The other two seemed to have forgotten that Lin Feng even existed!

Perhaps they had not forgotten. They simply believed that Lin Feng posed no threat whatsoever.

"Flying Cloud Spear!"

Chen Yunjing suddenly thrust out his spear on the arena, aiming directly at Xu Jun. Boom!

In that instant, the spear in his hand seemed to transform into a divine dragon, charging straight at Xu Jun. Its momentum crushed everything in its path. The Registered Disciples around the arena trembled in fear and could not help retreating several steps, clearly cowed by its imposing might!

"Hmph, I already said it—no one can compete with me. You, get down!"

Xu Jun let out a long howl as he swung his Spirit Sword. The grade of his Spirit Sword was extraordinarily high, and a terrifying pressure emanated from it, carrying the sensation of something belonging only to the Venerable Realm!

Many were horrified. The sword in Xu Jun's hand had to be at the peak of the ninth rank, just a thread away from becoming a Venerable Realm weapon.

How lofty was a Venerable Realm weapon? Even coming slightly close to one made it immensely powerful.

Chen Yunjing's weapon was clearly inferior.

The two immediately collided!

Afterward, Chen Yunjing was blasted backward, nearly flying out of the arena! Fortunately, he steadied himself at the crucial moment.

Yet Chen Yunjing's face also bore a trace of horror!

"Y-You comprehended Sword Intent!"

His face turned incomparably grim.

Xu Jun had actually comprehended Sword Intent!

Originally, the gap between the two had been roughly the same, whether in cultivation realm, martial arts, or anything else. Victory or defeat would have depended on their performance in battle.

However, once Xu Jun had comprehended Sword Intent, everything changed.

Weapon True Intent granted far too great a boost in combat power. After merely one exchange, Chen Yunjing knew that he was no match for Xu Jun! If he continued fighting, that terrifying Sword Intent might even pierce through his dantian and cripple his cultivation!

"Hmph, I said no one can compete with me for first place." Xu Jun merely snorted coldly.

The conversation between the two on the arena was heard clearly by the many disciples below.

Countless disciples showed expressions of shock.

Sword Intent?

The sword could be called the king of a hundred weapons. Sword Intent was harder to comprehend than the intent of any other weapon. Once comprehended, it would greatly increase one's combat strength; killing across realms was merely commonplace!

Hesitation gradually appeared on Chen Yunjing's face. He wanted to try continuing the battle against Xu Jun, but the other party's Sword Intent raged forth, and that fatal threat swept through his entire body. Chen Yunjing backed down.

In the end, he took a step back, his gaze unwilling. "I never expected... you had comprehended Sword Intent! Xu Jun, you hid yourself deeply!"

The disciples all looked at Xu Jun with the admiring gazes they reserved for geniuses.

Everyone had witnessed Xu Jun's strength.

With just one exchange, he had already made Chen Yunjing shrink back, too afraid to fight any longer. The difference in strength between the two sides was clearly immense.

Afterward, Chen Yunjing stepped down from the arena. This was a place only first place could remain in. Knowing that he was no match for Xu Jun, he naturally would not compete for first place.

No matter how unwilling he was, with such a vast disparity in strength, there was no need to persist!

Two people remained on the arena.

Aside from Xu Jun, who had just been brimming with vigor as he forced Chen Yunjing back with a single sword strike, there was Lin Feng.

Xu Jun looked toward Lin Feng, a trace of coldness in his eyes. "You still are not getting down. Are you seeking death?"

His voice was cold and eerie, as if it had come from the underworld.

He had driven even Chen Yunjing back with one sword strike, yet this person before him still remained here. He certainly had courage.

Chen Yunjing, who had just stepped down, sneered. In his view, knowing when to assess the situation was also important. Since Xu Jun had comprehended Sword Intent, who else could possibly defeat him?

Of course, apart from experts such as Elder Zhu and the elders of the Cultivation Arts Pavilion, no one present could sense the Sword Intent on the arena. Such things vanished in a flash; unless one was sufficiently perceptive, one would not notice the slightest trace of it.

However.

Wei Changfeng knew.

He had fought Lin Feng head-on, so he naturally knew... Lin Feng had also comprehended Sword Intent!

"Xu Jun actually comprehended Sword Intent too. I just wonder how many layers! Lin Feng comprehended two layers of Sword Intent, but to defeat Xu Jun, he would need to comprehend at least three layers, right? But Three-Layer Sword Intent... could it appear on a Registered Disciple?"

Even though he had been defeated by Lin Feng, Wei Changfeng still wore a hesitant expression, somewhat unsure.

On the arena.

Lin Feng raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at Xu Jun!

Xu Jun frowned as a chill surged from his body! A mere Registered Disciple actually dared point a sword at him. Where had he found such courage? Even Chen Yunjing had not dared act so arrogantly and had obediently stepped down.

Xu Jun's expression turned sinister. He had already decided to cripple the hand Lin Feng used to wield his sword.

Crippling a Registered Disciple, surely the elders would not say anything about it.

Having said that, Xu Jun had already made the first move!

Sword Intent erupted directly!

Screech!

Endless sharp and fierce pressure instantly appeared upon the arena, as though tens of thousands of Spirit Swords were running rampant.

"Star-Picking Sword Diagram!"

Suddenly, Chen Yunjing saw this scene from atop the arena, and his pupils contracted slightly. He knew this was Xu Jun's signature sword art, an eighth-rank martial art. Now that he saw it, Xu Jun's Star-Picking Sword Diagram had clearly already been cultivated to the realm of Great Completion.

Such a powerful sword art, combined with Sword Intent...

Even he would not be able to withstand it, and he would certainly be injured.
