Even the attack from the beast warrior of the Reaching Heaven State fourth tier couldn't make the demon general raise his head. In other words, his strength hadn't been recognized by the demon general yet.
"Qi Qi, it's your turn. Do your best."
One move per person. There were about a thousand people in front of each demonic pillar. Each person could finish it in ten breaths' time. So, after two hours, it was finally Huangfu Qi's turn.
After Huangfu Qi was Zhao Wuji, and then Long Chen. These were the top three in the first round. This time, would they all be able to get into the top three again?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
At this time, the other six pillars were almost finished.
There were a total of seven thousand people. Almost all of them looked in Long Chen's direction. Huangfu Qi and Zhao Wuji had been very eye-catching since the beginning, and Long Chen was a dark horse in the first round. Their performance in the second round could be said to be something that everyone was looking forward to.
"Big brother, you're definitely not Qi Qi's match this time. And that big bad guy, see how I'll beat you up, hmph."
Huangfu Qi rolled her eyes at Zhao Wuji. Then, under everyone's gaze, she walked in front of the demonic pillar.
"I can't use those moves. Otherwise, my identity will be exposed. Looks like I can only use this move." Huangfu Qi tilted her head and thought.
"This move isn't considered an attack of the clan. There are many people who know this move. Among the middle heaven level battle skills, it's already at the peak level. It's even stronger than ordinary high heaven level battle skills. I should be able to get first place."
Huangfu Qi thought. Then, she no longer hesitated. She began to burst forth the qi of the Reaching Heaven State fourth tier. Although she was young, her qi was abnormally thick. It was even thicker than that of the beast warrior. Endless power burst forth from her small body.
At this time, a fierce light burst forth from Huangfu Qi's eyes. The light that was as hot as fire was directly cast onto the demonic pillar.
Forming seals.
In front of the demonic pillar, Huangfu Qi's chubby little hands actually began to rapidly form seals. Soon, her hands could no longer be seen clearly. In an instant, a whirlwind formed in her hands, and then instantly expanded, completely wrapping around her small body. It was as if Huangfu Qi had transformed into a fierce tornado.
The vast aura caused the people at the side to choose to retreat. Fortunately, there was no sand on the crystal-like floor. Otherwise, the entire sky would have been filled with dust.
Huangfu Qi's hand seals were not slow. Basically, in the short span of a breath, the tornado had already expanded to the same size as the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar.
Beside her, everyone chose to retreat. Only the Demon General remained standing there. He still did not raise his head, but the cloak behind him was blown away by the strong wind. In the blink of an eye, no one knew where it was.
"Break!"
"Whirlwind Seal!"
In the next moment, Huangfu Qi truly displayed this move. The tornado around her suddenly condensed into a seal. Under Huangfu Qi's control, it suddenly imprinted on the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar. The violent attack rushed through the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar and crashed to the sides.
"Buzz."
The sound of the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar surpassed all the previous sounds.
Everyone could hear the clear difference in their voices, let alone the Devil General.
"Yay, big brother, I won!"
Huangfu Qi jumped up in joy and quickly ran to Long Chen's side. She hugged Long Chen's thigh and said pleasantly.
"Qi Qi is indeed very good. She is stronger than many people."
Long Chen could only smile at her helplessly. Indeed, Huangfu Qi's performance just now was really amazing. At the very least, it was certain that she was currently in first place.
The others all looked at Huangfu Qi in shock.
She was only ten years old, yet she was already able to do this. The others had simply lived their lives in vain. It had to be said that compared to Huangfu Qi, even Zhao Wuji was nothing.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
In the air, the Divine Wind Demon General applauded for Huangfu Qi. Then, he turned his gaze to Zhao Wuji and said, "Zhao Wuji, it's your turn. You're the one I'm most optimistic about. Don't lose to a little girl."
"Of course not."
Zhao Wuji smiled confidently. Then, he looked coldly at Long Chen and said, "You'll be the one to embarrass yourself later."
After saying that, he walked past Long Chen and arrived in front of the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar.
"That little girl is using a Medium Heaven Level Combat Skill. It seems that I'm going to win this time. Apart from me, who else can learn an Advanced Heaven Level Combat Skill? If I didn't have this move, I wouldn't have been able to kill that Wushu Alliance criminal of the Reaching Heaven State. This second round is the most suitable for me."
Zhao Wuji's eyes were filled with strong confidence.
With a swoosh, Zhao Wuji extended his index finger and closed his eyes.
A vast wave started to spread from his body. In order to use his most powerful move, Zhao Wuji started very slowly.
"Has it started?"
"The finger technique that Zhao Wuji is using should be the unique skill that he's famous for."
"He's only at the Reaching Heaven State State, but he can already use an Advanced Heaven Level Combat Skill. He's really not simple. Zhao Wuji is indeed a good seedling. He's qualified to become a disciple of one of the Seven Great Demon Kings."
"Huangfu Qi is only ten years old, but he's also qualified to become a disciple of one of the Seven Great Demon Kings."
The other Demon Generals, who were already idle, started to discuss among themselves.
At that moment, Zhao Wuji started to use his most powerful move.
The momentum of his move wasn't as great as Huangfu Qi's at first, but when he really used it, the power it contained could be said to have instantly crushed Huangfu Qi's Whirlwind Seal. A Heaven-level advanced cultivation technique really wasn't just for show.
"Secret Technique, Imperial Martial Extreme Finger."
As Zhao Wuji stabbed out with his finger, a dazzling ray of light burst out from his finger. The dazzling ray of light instantly turned into the shape of an arrow. With a bright trajectory, it instantly pierced the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar.
"Buzz."
With a flash of light, the dazzling arrow instantly exploded and turned into specks of starlight. Meanwhile, the demonic pillar let out a loud sound. This sound wasn't much louder than the sound of Huangfu Qi's attack, but it lasted twice as long.
This meant that Zhao Wuji's attack was still at the same level as Huangfu Qi's, but it was stronger than Huangfu Qi's.
Everyone gasped in admiration from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the move. It really was worthy of being a High Heaven Level Combat Skill. The Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar was the fairest. Everyone could tell just how powerful the move was from the Sky-Reaching Demonic Pillar.
"Zhao Wuji, you really are Zhao Wuji. You've already cultivated the Imperial Martial Extreme Finger to the peak. You're the only person I know who can cultivate the Imperial Martial Extreme Finger to the peak." The Divine Windstorm Demon General laughed heartily. His voice reverberated through the air.
Everyone agreed.
The other Demon Generals also praised Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji smiled brilliantly after receiving the recognition and praise from so many people. He hurriedly said to the Divine Windstorm Demon General, "I wouldn't dare. Wuji is only a junior. I've only achieved what I have today after cultivating the Imperial Martial Extreme Finger for two whole years."
"Cultivating a Heaven Level Combat Skill in two years is already a very good result. In the future, it's very likely that you'll be able to enter the three great martial realms," the Divine Windstorm Demon General praised.
"Thank you for your praise, Divine Windstorm Demon General," Zhao Wuji hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
At this moment, he had already become the center of attention. This feeling made Zhao Wuji feel extremely refreshed. His smile became much brighter.
"What an annoying person. Big brother, you have to finish him off. Make his face even more stinky than his butt," Huangfu Qi said angrily.
Now, it was indeed Long Chen's turn. However, Zhao Wuji's brilliance was just too dazzling, so no one noticed Long Chen for a moment.
"Stop talking. My big brother is going to go up," Huangfu Qi screamed furiously when she saw that no one had any intentions of continuing.
She was young, so her sharp voice frightened everyone. Only then did they return to their senses from Zhao Wuji's shock. The Divine Windstorm Demon General smiled awkwardly and said, "If that's the case, then … Jiang Cheng, you go up."
Only now did everyone recall that Long Chen hadn't made a move yet.
They all knew that Long Chen was only in the first tier of the Reaching Heaven State. He had won the championship in the first round only because of his strong body. However, the second round was not a competition of the body.
Therefore, when Zhao Wuji created a new peak, everyone temporarily ignored him.
After Huangfu Qi's outburst, everyone looked at Long Chen to see how he would perform. Huangfu Qi had shouted so loudly just now. If Long Chen did not perform well, it would definitely be very embarrassing.
At the very least, he should be able to reach the third tier of the Reaching Heaven State. With Long Chen's strong body, it would not be embarrassing at all.
Only then did Long Chen start walking towards the Sky Reaching Demonic Pillar. Zhao Wuji only retreated at this moment.
"Come on, if the Sky Reaching Demonic Pillar can't even make a sound, it will be really embarrassing." As they passed each other, Zhao Wuji's mocking voice reached Long Chen's ears.
Long Chen did not bother to pay attention to him.
He only needed strength to prove himself.
Soon, under everyone's gazes, Long Chen stood in front of the Sky Reaching Demonic Pillar and looked at it up close.
All of a sudden, Long Chen found a handprint on the Sky Reaching Demonic Pillar. The handprint was at least three centimeters thick, obviously made by a person's hand.
"Even Zhao Wuji's strongest move did not leave any mark on the Sky Reaching Demonic Pillar. Who on earth left a handprint here? It's really powerful …" Long Chen thought to himself.
"That handprint was made by Jiang Wushang, the Demon Emperor's favorite son of the Ancient Demon Region. He left it when he was in the ninth tier of the Reaching Heaven State. Jiang Wushang is now an expert of the three great Martial Realms. Apart from Jiang Wushang, no one has ever been able to leave a handprint on the Sky Reaching Demonic Pillar before reaching the three great Martial Realms."
At this moment, the Demon General who was testing Long Chen lowered his head and said.
