The second round of competition started intensely.
The two teams drawn to fight were students from Divine Firmament Holy Heaven and Big Dipper Holy Heaven. Although neither of them were among the Ten Saints, both were renowned and possessed exceptional strength and talent.
His skill level far surpassed that of ordinary students. Whether it was the cultivation Cultivation Method he used or the various Divine Ability he displayed, they were dazzling and overwhelming.
As the opening match, it greatly heightened the atmosphere among the other Holy Heaven students.
The Ten Saints of the Primordial Holy Heaven couldn't help but clench their hands tightly, their hearts surging with an indescribable flame.
'If the top students of the Holy Heaven are only this strong, then excluding the top Holy Heaven, their Ten Saints shouldn't be so ridiculously powerful. I, Primordial, have a chance to rise to the top!'
Shentu Feng clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly, a rising, scorching breath filling his throat, as if he had something he absolutely had to say.
But he forced himself to hold back, suppressing even his own expression, so that no one could tell what he was thinking.
The current Ten Saints of the Primordial Holy Heaven have undergone a change, and their rankings have been rearranged.
First, naturally, is Shentu Feng.
Wan Renshan came in second, but after losing, he basically disappeared from the public eye, becoming even more silent than before when he didn't care about the affairs of the Primordial Holy Heaven. Despite being second, he was no longer in front of the students of the Primordial Holy Heaven; he was just sitting in a corner.
Shentu Feng glanced over every now and then, only to see his old rival's numb expression, as if he were utterly disheartened.
Wenren Nian is still in third place. As a friend of Wan Renshan, his strength is steadily improving.
Fourth, it's no longer Xie Su, but Sheng Sui, who was originally fifth.
Fifth, Wu Yu
Sixth, Xie Su.
In the seventh and eighth positions, Yan Tinghe and Xiang Yuanzhou switched places.
Ninth, Yan Ji.
Tenth, Cen Jinyue. She was ranked last and was not well-known. She was squeezed out by Lin Xuan and was saddened at first, but not long after, the tenth place of the Ten Saints was returned to her.
It can be said that fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
However, in terms of both ability and talent, she is far inferior to the others.
Just like no matter how the other Holy Heaven change, the Primordial Holy Heaven is always the tenth.
In the Primordial Holy Heaven, Cen Jinyue could only achieve tenth place, even Yan Ji was stronger than her.
But the only commendable thing is that none of these Ten Saints chose to leave or betray the Primordial Slaying Alliance after it attacked. They all stayed until the very last moment!
However, temperament and ability are not always proportional.
Cen Jinyue bit her lip lightly, the tension and anxiety in her heart almost becoming tangible.
Unlike Shentu Feng's excitement, she knew her own limitations all too well. After watching the first round of the competition among the other geniuses of the Holy Heaven, she not only didn't feel relieved, but became even more worried.
However, many times, the good things don't come true, but the bad things do.
Just as she was praying in her heart that her name would be called later, she heard the majestic voice of the Holy Heaven Association's Half-Saint Elder, who was in charge of the second round of the competition and was acting as the referee.
"Next match: Primordial Holy Heaven Cen Jinyue will face off against Southern Li Holy Heaven Gu You."
Cen Jinyue's face suddenly turned pale for a moment.
But the next second, hearing the whispers of others, she let out a long breath.
" Cen Jinyue... if I remember correctly, she should be one of the Ten Saints of the Primordial Holy Heaven? I think she's the tenth."
"I've never heard of Gu You before; he's probably just an ordinary student from the Southern Li Holy Heaven."
"Indeed, she's quite good. Gu You is just an ordinary student from Southern Li Holy Heaven. I've interacted with her a few times, and she's not exactly a top-tier prodigy."
It was only after hearing these words that Cen Jinyue felt a little comforted and had some confidence.
Although the opponent is the eighth-ranked Holy Heaven.
But if they're just ordinary students, surely I shouldn't be unable to beat them?
She can do it!
The moment Cen Jinyue stepped out of the crowd of Primordial, her face suddenly turned cold, using coldness to conceal her inner turmoil. She approached the stage step by step, her expression becoming even colder as she looked at Gu You, who had already gracefully ascended the stage.
Gu You, on the other hand, just chuckled.
"My name is Gu You. I hope you will give me your guidance, Primordial."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gave a command and her figure suddenly disappeared from the arena.
Cen Jinyue's expression hardened, and she turned around to counterattack without hesitation.
However, this turned out to be a trap.
She heard Gu You's playful laughter behind her, but the voice contained little kindness, only mockery and sarcasm.
"Senior sister, you're looking in the wrong direction."
Snap!
A bloody gash appeared on Cen Jinyue's back, stretching from her right shoulder down to her left waist, leaving her skin covered in blood. Cen Jinyue's expression changed, and she groaned incessantly.
The injury wasn't too serious, but it was incredibly painful.
She turned around almost instantly to look at the red-clad girl who stood gracefully in the center of the arena, holding a long, winding whip.
Gu You still had a smile on her face, looking pure and beautiful, but the words that came out of her mouth were particularly unpleasant.
"Senior sister, you have such a bulky body, are you really one of the Ten Saints?"
"I think it would be better if I were to take on the role of one of the Ten Saints."
"Next move, get ready, senior sister!"
Her figure disappeared again, and this time, Cen Jinyue almost forced herself to turn around, standing directly in place and brandishing her sword.
The same move, Cen Jinyue thought, couldn't be used twice. It was probably a psychological tactic, a repeat of the previous attack. If she thought the opponent wouldn't attack head-on this time and foolishly turned her back, she would repeat the same fate. So...
However, the next second, Cen Jinyue's body suddenly lunged forward.
Another bloodstain appeared diagonally on her back, almost making her break out in a cold sweat.
Behind her, Gu You, petite and graceful, stood at the edge of the arena, a wide smile spreading across her face, "Senior sister of Primordial, you're so stupid, hehe..."
"No wonder your Primordial Holy Heaven is at the bottom. As one of the Ten Saints, you can't even beat an ordinary student like me?"
"What... useless trash!"
The other Holy Heaven students in the audience, who had initially had some expectations for the competition, were somewhat disappointed, and some even felt it was to be expected.
" The Primordial Holy Heaven is ultimately at the bottom... The battles between the Holy Heaven's prodigies were so exciting, I thought they'd be very interesting to watch, but now..."
"Are these really the Ten Saints?"
"It would be more accurate to say that the girl from Southern Li Holy Heaven is one of the Ten Saints!"
The students of the Primordial Holy Heaven had extremely ugly expressions.
Cen Jinyue was one of the Ten Saints, yet she was beaten to such a state by an ordinary student.
It wasn't just embarrassing, it also made them angry.
The confidence that had been built up was completely destroyed, and many people's expressions showed doubt.
But more than anything, there was hatred for this ruthless girl.
The Holy Master of the Primordial Holy Heaven frowned slightly as he watched the match on the arena. Although there wasn't much Spiritual Power flowing between the two sides, he could clearly see that Gu You had perfectly controlled his Spiritual Power, with not a single bit of excess overflowing.
Especially her Movement Method...
" The Heavenly Nether Sacred Physique?"
"This is troublesome..."
The most suitable Sacred Physique for assassination, killing without leaving a trace, and leaving no trace of Spiritual Power.
Cen Jinyue was simply not good at dealing with this.
This situation, which came right from the start, is truly a headache.
Half an incense stick's time has passed.
Gu You, with her ghostly figure, was also adept at using psychological tactics. On the arena, she toyed with Cen Jinyue until almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was up, before finally whipping Cen Jinyue off the arena.
Gu You, however, stood Wushang on the arena.
There wasn't even a moment to catch their breath.
She watched coldly as the students of the Primordial Holy Heaven swarmed around Cen Jinyue, surrounding her and feeding her medicine, her face expressionless.
But the corners of her lips slowly curled up.
What Ten Saints...
Tsk.
What she despised most were these fame-seeking individuals.
However, she never expected that she would actually run into someone from the Primordial, and be able to help Senior Brother Jin. That would be perfect.
The elder referee glanced at her coldly and spoke indifferently.
" Southern Li Holy Heaven, Gu You, Victorious!"
The next moment, Gu You suddenly broke into a sweet smile and waved to Cen Jinyue below the stage.
"Sending my regards on behalf of Senior Brother Jin Buhuan, goodbye!"
This scene, witnessed by the other students of Primordial Holy Heaven, caused them to grit their teeth, their anger rising suddenly, and their murderous gazes abruptly shifted to Jin Buhuan, who looked completely relaxed and at ease beside them.
"This is simply... outrageous!!" Yan Tinghe took a deep breath, grinding her teeth.
As one of the Ten Saints, and the only two women among Ten Saints, she and Cen Jinyue were very close. Seeing her friend suffer such humiliation, she could no longer bear it.
"This isn't a competition at all; it's a blatant humiliation and a conspiracy!"
" Jin Buhuan, you deserve to die!"
Coincidentally, within the Golden Feather Holy Heaven located next to the Primordial Holy Heaven, Jin Buhuan heard these words. Seeing the indignant expressions on the faces of the others in the Primordial Holy Heaven, he was not afraid at all, but simply chuckled.
"The referee elder didn't stop it, so how can it not be a competition?"
"If you have someone to blame... blame the people of the Primordial Holy Heaven, they're all too useless. And you... ha, you're not even number one, what right do you have to speak to me?"
Jin Buhuan an arrogant snort, his eyes filled with disdain and extreme disdain.
"The weak have no right to shout!"
