Just as Xian Mengcai and Zhou Ling fought fiercely, far away in the Spiritual Mountain Sect, the second day of battles had come to an end.
As the saying goes, some people are happy, some people are sad. Some people won a great victory in a fight of magical powers, they could not restrain their joy, some were complacent, some were not arrogant and rash; there were also some people who were defeated in a fight of magical powers, some were dejected, some were in high spirits, they were summing up their experiences and lessons.
Many of them wanted to get a high ranking and accumulate more points so that they could get a better ranking in the cruel second round of the knockout tournament. They were trying to find out the weaknesses of their potential enemies and think of ways to restrain them.
Li Chengfeng was the first to bear the brunt of this!
These experts of the younger generation had already competed with each other many times in the open and in the dark. Even in the assessment, they had fought each other many times, so they knew each other very well. Therefore, they had a clear target for their preparations.
However, Li Chengfeng's sudden rise was hard to ignore. Although there were other dark horses who won consecutively, none of them were as famous as Li Chengfeng, who had stirred up a storm in Spiritual Mountain the moment he entered the sect. He was also favored by Zhao Feiyue, Grand Senior Sister and Liu Sumei.
This was what they meant when they said he was the center of attention.
Moreover, Li Chengfeng's fighting style was very strange. He did not seem to use a fixed set of techniques, and he also seemed to have some strange magical weapons. They did not seem to be very powerful, and he seemed to be able to win no matter what he did.
However, once he entered the arena, he realised that was not the case!
On the third day, Li Chengfeng fought twice in one day again. Ouyang Nan was furious but his protests were futile.
Sun Boyi kept a straight face and looked like he was going by the book, making it impossible for anyone to find any evidence against him. After all, many people had two battles today, including the popular Hidden Beauty Court's top girl, Ouyang Xiu, and Hidden Brocade Court's top girl, Huangfu Song.
If these two were like this, what else could Ouyang Nan say?
Many sharp-witted people had already realised that those who fought twice in one day were mostly the strong cultivators from the various courts. It was as if the sect wanted to test their ability to fight continuously and their individual cultivation foundations.
Many of the dark horses that emerged out of nowhere were quickly defeated in the two consecutive battles on the third day.
Some of them were not strong enough. Their magic power was exhausted by the continuous battles and they were defeated in the end. There were also some who were smart enough to temporarily give up the battles that seemed unwinnable and fight for the battles that could be won with all their might.
But their opponents could see the advantage: an arrow at the end of its flight, unable to penetrate the silk cloth!
Therefore, their opponents would fight them to the death in every match!
Everyone wanted to snatch the next victory. If they happened to encounter the other party giving up on this battle, wouldn't that be a huge advantage for them?
Therefore, the dark horse disciples were suffering. All of them were being attacked and their spiritual energy reserves were decreasing.
They all knew that a single night's rest was absolutely impossible to completely restore the Fa Li and Zhen Yuan consumed in a fierce battle. Two battles in a day had once again become a terrifying matter for those disciples who were determined to get a good ranking and high scores.
But just as these dark horses fell from their horses, there was also someone who left them in the dust, going against the current!
Li Chengfeng was one of them!
After three consecutive matches, Qu Tongqiu encountered two weaker opponents in the fourth and fifth matches. The reason why Qu Tongqiu and Li Maoran were considered weak was because compared to Qu Tongqiu, who was a piece of trash like Li Maoran, they were both strong opponents.
These two people were disciples of Hidden Modesty Court and Hidden Beauty Court respectively. The disciple from Hidden Modesty Court in the first round was obviously an unlucky pauper.
He was so poor that he couldn't even afford to play with talismans. He could only use a Body Lithe as a Swallow talisman on himself to move as fast as lightning. He circled around Li Chengfeng, hoping to ambush him.
But it was useless.
Li Chengfeng waved his hand and the entire arena began to grow green grass and vines. In the blink of an eye, the grass and vines grew to waist height. Unless his opponent could fly and use fire, or could instantly cut down all the grass and vines around him, otherwise... what awaited him... was an unbearable sight to behold.
When the disciple saw the grass and vines growing up, he was dumbfounded and immediately screamed for mercy. He spoke so quickly that his voice was shrill and sharp, like a eunuch's.
The crowd burst into laughter, but when they saw Li Chengfeng's disappointed expression, they secretly cursed Li Chengfeng for being a psycho and grew even more wary.
In the second round in the afternoon, Li Chengfeng's opponent was a female cultivator from Hidden Beauty Court. More people gathered around, some excited to see how Li Chengfeng would beat up this beautiful Hidden Beauty Court disciple, while others wanted to see if Li Chengfeng would go easy on her because of Hidden Beauty Court and lose.
The Hidden Beauty Court disciples also gathered together and cheered loudly because their opponent was Li Chengfeng. This Hidden Beauty Court disciple was obviously well prepared, as he immediately covered his body with a Fire Talisman, and having learned from his previous experience, he immediately flew into the air.
The moment she did this, the crowd's eyes lit up and the Hidden Beauty Court disciple cheered loudly.
Li Chengfeng wanted to use the two magical mahjong tiles to ambush his opponent, but it was no longer effective. No matter how strong he was, he did not want to be hit twice.
After all, even a girl who did not care about her appearance would not want to be hit twice.
Even if she was unscathed, her pride would explode and she would be so ashamed that she wanted to kill herself.
That was why Li Chengfeng could not ambush the Hidden Beauty Court disciple from such a high altitude.
To the crowd, the Hidden Beauty Court disciple was already in an undefeatable position. Li Chengfeng could not win using any of the previous methods!
But just when everyone thought Li Chengfeng was at his wit's end, no one expected him to use the simplest move to force his opponent to surrender!
Insect!
A single insect would not cause fear to female cultivators like them. After all, they had experienced fierce battles before. But if it was a swarm of insects that covered the sky, thick as black smoke, it would make one's scalp go numb and chills run down their spine!
When the Hidden Beauty Court female cultivator saw the smoke-like swarm of insects pouncing towards her with a deafening buzzing sound, she screamed in fright and immediately surrendered.
And so … Li Chengfeng won another match, to everyone's surprise. He became the only disciple below the Golden Body group to win five out of five matches!
At the end of the third day, all was silent. In the Heavenly Fragrant Cloud Dock where the younger generation of Hidden Beauty Court disciples stayed, Huang Nishang was rolling around in pain on her bed. She was sweating profusely, as if she was remembering the most terrifying thing in her soul. When she woke up with a sudden scream, she realised someone was standing silently beside her bed.
"Who's there?!"
Huang Nishang immediately jumped up, the Mourning Soul Mirror hidden in her sleeves shining at the person. But just as she raised her hand, she was pushed away by an invisible hand. She slammed into the wall and hung in the air.
The woman standing in front of her was hidden in the darkness, dressed in a long black robe and a hood. Only a strand of fiery red hair peeked out from the hood to reveal her identity.
Grand Senior Sister's eyes shone brightly in the night. She stared at Huang Nishang and said calmly, "Follow me!"
After saying that, she turned around and left. When she reached the door, the door silently opened by itself, and she quietly walked out.
