Wang Hao watched with satisfaction from below, but Nangong Xian'er, who was being targeted and besieged on the battle stage, was very unhappy. If it weren't for the exquisite footwork that came with the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, and the fact that the Soft Subduing Dragon-Subduing Palm were good at group attacks, she would probably have been defeated and seriously injured long ago.
However, none of those who could participate in the Young Heaven's Chosen Tournament were ordinary people. Even if the real experts among these 10,000 people disdained to join forces against Nangong Xian'er, the remaining people were still not easy to deal with.
After holding out for less than ten breaths, Nangong Xian'er was forced to unleash a true qi version of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, unleashing a malevolent Demon Dragon that coiled around her body, forming a protective dragon formation.
The Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms Nangong Xian'er Wang Hao passed on to Nangong Xian'er is both offensive and defensive. The dragon-shaped palm force can not only be used for offense, but also form a coiled dragon to protect her, like Golden Bell Shield covering her.
To attack Nangong Xian'er, the outer layer of evil energy Demon Dragon forming a coiled dragon protective barrier must be shattered; otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to harm Nangong Xian'er inside.
Breaking through the protective coiled dragon formed by the malevolent energy of the demonic Demon Dragon is incredibly difficult!
It should be understood that this malevolent Demon Dragon was not only formed from Nangong Xian'er's own demonic true energy, but also incorporated the True Dragon energy of Sixth Tier True Dragon after its death.
This power is absolutely the most powerful form of malevolent energy in the mortal realm; even a true Sixth Tier expert would find it difficult to disperse.
What's even more terrifying is that the true energy that Nangong Xian'er possessed after being corrupted was integrated into the Wuxiang Formless Divine Art, which has an almost limitless capacity for inclusion and exhibits a devouring characteristic.
As long as the evil Demon Dragon cannot be shattered in one go, the true energy and True Essence in the attack will be devoured and refined by the demonic true energy within, thus strengthening oneself.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded on the battle stage. The Demon Dragon, which was initially only three zhang long, withstood the attacks of many young talents. Instead of being weakened, it was rapidly growing stronger, reaching a length of four zhang in just a short while.
With the protection of the evil Demon Dragon, Nangong Xian'er only attacked and did not defend, her delicate hands striking out Palm One from the gaps in the rotating dragon's protective energy.
Although the distance prevented the print from being directly applied to the many talented young people, what was truly astonishing was that the delicate hand actually managed to unleash an air cannon.
The extremely powerful force compressed the air to its limit, condensing it into tight strands of qi.
The powerful energy blasted out, causing people and horses to fall and the young talents hit by the attack to scatter in all directions, their blood splattering everywhere.
Should we do it?
On the outskirts of the chaotic battle, a young man in purple spoke solemnly, his eyes filled with apprehension as he looked towards the heart of the battle. Clearly, Nangong Xian'er's strength exceeded his expectations.
This is an extremely formidable rival!
"There's no chance!"
The burly man standing next to the purple-clad youth glanced at the aloof beauty not far away, who was holding a long sword and exuded an aura of unapproachability, then shook his head and rejected his friend's suggestion.
They were unlucky. Although they believed they were no weaker than the new generation of successors from top sects, they happened to encounter two young talents from the six ancient evil sects in this elimination battle, and the sects they belonged to had a rather good relationship.
Although he didn't recognize the aloof woman, her cultivation technique was quite striking; it was the core technique of the Emotionless Dao among the Six Primordial Evil Daos.
Among the Six Primordial Evil Daos, the Emotionless Dao and the Desire Dao are the most closely related, even more so than the other four evil paths.
If they were to attack Nangong Xian'er, that cold and beautiful woman from the Emotionless Dao would definitely not stand idly by.
Moreover, this is only the first round of the competition, so there's no need to reveal your biggest trump card, as that would be too disadvantageous for the subsequent matches.
Anyway, there will be ten qualifying spots for each match in the first round, so there's no need to risk targeting that evil Desire Dao of the Way of Lust.
Finally, they were happy to let Nangong Xian'er draw the attention of those trashy enemies, allowing the two of them to have some free time to preserve their strength and intelligence.
At first, Nangong Xian'er had a bitter face, but as she practiced and practiced the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, the wonders of this palm technique gradually became apparent to her. Not only did the power of the palm technique increase, but her physical strength also increased rapidly.
This discovery brought a smile to Nangong Xian'er, and she finally understood why that bastard had called this palm technique a fighting method!
Indeed, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms created by Wang Hao is a genuine fighting technique. As long as it is used in battle, one can continuously comprehend the essence of the palm technique, and at the same time, one can temper the physical body's true energy and even spiritual power in battle. It can be said to be a palm technique created specifically for combat.
Because external martial arts techniques consume very little energy, and with the evil Demon Dragon constantly devouring the True Essence of the people attacking them, not only is the dragon itself greatly enhanced, but it can also feed back some of its True Essence into Nangong Xian'er's body.
Instead of getting tired, they became even more courageous in the fight!
Finally, half an Tokiomi later, this first elimination battle with 10,000 participants was completely overrun by Nangong Xian'er.
"This palm technique..."
Chen Zhan seemed to have discerned something from Nangong Xian'er's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, his expression showing some surprise and uncertainty.
"Brother Wang, is there something wrong with that girl?"
Noticing Chen Zhan's unusual expression, Emperor Li Daozong of the Huaxia Empire asked in surprise.
Although the girl from the Desire Dao had a rather peculiar style, it wasn't enough to elicit such an expression from this prince.
"Nothing much, I just became a little interested in the palm technique that girl used. I really want to see who created this palm technique."
Chen Zhan shook his head slightly, a smile on his face.
From the palm techniques that Nangong Xian'er had previously displayed, he clearly discerned a portion of the essence of the Chen Clan's unique Dragon-Capturing Hand. The creator of this palm technique must have practiced the Dragon-Capturing Hand.
This makes things much more interesting!
"This is exhausting!"
After finishing the battle, Nangong Xian'er leaped down and came to Wang Hao's side.
Although she won, almost single-handedly sweeping the first match, it took a toll on her, and she looked quite disheveled at the moment.
Her clothes were not only stained with dust, but she was also covered in fragrant sweat, which soaked through her gauze dress, making it cling tightly to her body and revealing glimpses of her skin, arousing endless imagination.
At least the men within a hundred feet couldn't help but turn their gazes towards them, their eyes filled with fervor.
Nangong Xian'er was also aware that she was incredibly alluring in her current state, and even deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to attract someone's attention.
Unfortunately, her efforts were in vain. Wang Hao's eyes were fixed on the battle stage from beginning to end, and he didn't even blink when the second batch of 10,000 contestants came on stage. He didn't even glance at the beauty who came to his side, choosing to ignore her completely.
"That blockhead is driving me crazy!"
Upon discovering that someone was ignoring her, Nangong Xian'er was so angry that she stomped her feet and gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap this Xie Feng guy to death.
Over the years, I've been fawned over and flattered by countless men; I've never been treated like this before.
However, after more than half a year of getting to know him, she also realized that this man had a certain martial arts obsession; he would devote himself wholeheartedly to any martial art that interested him.
In this state, let alone her, even if her own master came and used all his charm skills, he probably wouldn't be able to distract this man even a little bit.
The Huaxia Empire is renowned for its efficiency, so the competition was arranged very tightly. In addition, the battle platform was made of extraordinary materials and was reinforced by array power, so there was no possibility of it being damaged. Therefore, the first round of the elimination battle with 10,000 people was continuous and was completely completed before dark, ending today's competition.
With today's competition over, everyone naturally went home. On the way back to the Listening to Rain Pavilion, Wang Hao wore a smile the whole time, clearly very satisfied with today's results.
How could I not be satisfied?
Although today was only the initial elimination round, and the true prodigies hadn't yet unleashed their full power, the ordinary players had performed admirably, their cultivation techniques and martial arts skills being laid bare to Wang Hao.
It can be said that in just one day, Wang Hao has glimpsed nearly Issei of the martial arts in the world. Even though most of them are only ordinary-level martial arts inheritances and there are no immortal-level ones yet, it is still quite impressive.
"Just say what you have to say, don't act like I'm the heartless guy who dumped you!"
Back at the Listening to Rain Pavilion, Wang Hao couldn't stand Nangong Xian'er's resentful little eyes, which made him look like a scumbag.
Ever since she participated in that massive battle with thousands of people, this girl has maintained this appearance.
"You've betrayed me!"
Nangong Xian'er stared at Wang Hao with tears in her eyes. In her heart, this bastard was a heartless man who had deceived her again.
Nangong Xian'er's words made Song Jiaojiao, who was walking over to congratulate the two on passing the elimination round, stop in her tracks. Her expression became unusually strange, and her eyes blazed with Bagua once again.
How have I been unfaithful to you?
Seeing Song Jiaojiao's Bagua expression, Wang Hao was speechless and glared at that little vixen, Nangong Xian'er.
"You clearly stated that you only have one set of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, so explain the concealment technique you used on the battle stage today!"
Nangong Xian'er and Wang Hao were both straightforward and didn't like beating around the bush, so they spoke their minds directly.
Wang Hao's performance on the stage today was really too strange. He just stood in the corner the whole time, as if he didn't exist. He was ignored by everyone, and in the end, he inexplicably became one of the top ten advancing contestants.
That was definitely a top-tier technique for concealing one's presence; even if she were below, as soon as her gaze left that guy, she would inexplicably start to ignore him.
This powerful method of concealing one's aura is not among the unique skills she gave her, and she had never even heard of it before; it was clearly created by this guy.
This made her very unhappy. They had been together for so long, even sharing a bed, and yet she still deceived her like this!
Men are all such jerks!
"You only did this for this!"
Shaking his head speechlessly, Wang Hao took out a piece of spirit jade, imprinted the technique of concealing one's aura into it, and casually tossed it to the little fairy whose pouty lips could hold an oil bottle.
This technique of concealing one's aura and hiding was something he casually deduced before the war started, because he didn't want to be targeted by too many forces too early, so it was best not to make a move if possible.
Moreover, this secret technique is nothing special, and it's fine to pass it on to Nangong Xian'er, since I've already treated her as my disciple.
He would pass on the knowledge as long as the other party wanted to learn it, and even if he didn't have it himself, he could deduce the secret method that the other party sought.
After throwing out the spirit jade inscribed with the secret technique, Wang Hao strode forward.
After all, he still had to give lectures to the many young ladies in the Listening to Rain Pavilion. Time was very tight, and he had to thoroughly train them before leaving; he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
Wang Hao was unaware that his dashing actions had greatly surprised Nangong Xian'er and Song Jiaojiao, and even Nangong Yu, who was hiding not far away, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Knowing that she had been to the competition venue before, she naturally understood the power of this concealment technique; even someone with her late- Sixth Tier -order cultivation level couldn't break it.
Yet, that kid gave away such a powerful secret technique so easily, without even mentioning a reward, as if he had just casually tossed away a piece of trash.
this...
"Sister Jiaojiao, could you please send someone to invite Junior Sister Xue Yi of the Annihilation Dao... Never mind, no need to go!"
Coming to her senses, Nangong Xian'er briefly glanced at the secret technique within the spirit jade, pondered for a moment, and then smiled as she spoke to Song Jiaojiao had come to her side.
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at the roof beam, where he saw a figure completely wrapped in black clothes, with only a pair of bright eyes showing. Judging from the graceful figure, it must be a woman.
Clearly, the guest she wanted to invite had already arrived, and it seemed the other party was much more eager than she had imagined.
