Soon, the drawing of lots ended.
Lu Chen drew number twelve, which meant that his match would be the last one.
"The drawing of lots has ended. The competition officially begins."
The butler announced.
Everyone's gaze uniformly fell on the arena.
The first place of the twelve represented the top talents of the younger generation of the Xiao Yao Mansion.
No matter who it was, the battle would be very exciting.
Number one, Jing Fei, stepped onto the arena. His opponent was number seven.
"This guy is too unlucky. He met the seeded contestant, Jing Fei, in the first round."
"Yeah, Jing Fei is the second most popular candidate after Xiao He."
"I wonder how many moves he can take from Jing Fei?"
Everyone knew the result of this battle.
They were discussing how many moves Jing Fei would take to defeat his opponent.
Boom!
Jing Fei stood in the ring with his hands behind his back with an imposing manner.
He stared at his opponent and said in a deep voice, "Admit defeat. Don't waste your time."
His voice contained a terrifying power that shook people's hearts.
"Hmph, you're the first place of the selection. Am I not?"
The person snorted and attacked.
Whoosh!
Jing Fei made his move. He lightly threw out a punch.
Dong!
A deafening sound was heard as his opponent was smashed to the ground.
"Jing Fei wins!"
The crowd cheered.
Jing Fei was too strong. He defeated his opponent in one move.
The rest of the contestants looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
If Jing Fei was so strong, how strong would Xiao He be?
For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with sadness.
Number two, Xiao He, against number eight.
What was shocking was that Xiao He didn't even make a move. He just stood on the arena and defeated his opponent without a fight.
"I admit defeat."
His opponent knew that Xiao He was too strong. Once he made a move, it was hard to say if he could survive.
Instead of that, he might as well admit defeat.
Number three, against number nine.
Number four, against number ten.
Number five, against number eleven.
The next three matches weren't as exciting as the first two. Overall, they were just average.
The last match, number six, Xu Gui, against number twelve, Lin Chen.
"Kid, you're not my opponent."
Although Xu Gui wasn't the best of the twelve, he had investigated the other contestants.
He concluded that Lin Chen was the weakest of the twelve.
When he picked Lin Chen, he was secretly happy.
At least he could get into the top six.
That was enough.
If he was lucky, he might be able to enter the top three.
Fang Chen didn't say anything. He was too lazy to waste his breath.
"I'll give you three moves."
Seeing Fang Chen's attitude, Xu Guang mocked.
"No need."
If he was allowed three moves, Xu Gui would not even have the chance to attack.
"Hmph, how arrogant."
Thousand Autumns City had always been at the bottom of the Carefree Manor's hierarchy. How many years had it been since they had produced a genius?
"Just because you say so?"
Xu Wang said, "I, Xu Wang, am a man of my word. I said I'll let you have three moves, so I'll let you have three moves."
"Is that so?"
Fang Chen nodded and said no more.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of Xu Da in an instant.
Boom!
A punch landed on Xu Yu's body, and the latter's defense instantly shattered.
Xu Guang took a few steps back and stabilized himself.
"Hmph, insignificant skill."
Boom!
The second move was still a single punch.
This punch forced Sunking Bighead back, and his internal organs were shaken.
"Hmm?"
Xu Guang frowned. Fang Chen was much stronger than he had imagined.
However, since he had already said it, he naturally could not take it back.
"There's still one last move. You have to seize the opportunity."
Xu Guang mocked.
However, out of everyone's expectations.
Fang Chen didn't throw another punch. Instead, he strolled in front of Xu Da.
Under the gaze of everyone, he stretched out his finger and lightly tapped on Xu Guang's body.
Bang!
Xu Guang's body directly exploded, and his flesh and blood became a mess.
A miserable scream came out from Xu Guang's mouth.
"Interesting."
Jing Fei smiled.
Among the people present, only he and Xiao He could see through Fang Chen's means.
The first two punches had shattered Xu Guang's internal organs.
It caused his energy to become chaotic, and in the end, with a light tap, the chaotic energy instantly exploded.
This was the result of Xu Guang acting cool.
The square was filled with exclamations.
Many people did not know Fang Chen at the beginning, but after this battle, Lin Chen's name had spread.
The first round of the competition ended.
Lin Chen had surprised everyone, and even the butler praised him.
Soon, the results of the second round came out.
There was almost no suspense in the three rounds.
In the first round, Xiao He won without a fight.
In the second round, the two fought fiercely, and the winner was finally decided after two hours.
In the third round, Jing Fei fought against Fang Chen.
No one doubted that Jing Fei would lose the competition.
Everyone was pessimistic about Fang Chen, and they did not think that he had the ability to end the competition.
However, after the battle began, Fang Chen's performance stunned everyone.
He used his finger as a sword and displayed the invincible sword technique.
This was the invincible sword technique that he had re-condensed after coming back from the Reincarnation Road.
With his attainments in the Sword Dao and the re-condensed invincible sword technique.
At the Saint King level.
Invincible.
Swoosh!
He stabbed out with his finger, and streaks of sword light danced in the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the beginning, Jing Fei could still resist, but soon he was exhausted.
"Damn it, what kind of sword technique is this?"
Jing Fei was furious and desperately tried to resist.
Swoosh!
In the end, he was still stabbed by a streak of sword light, and blood spurted out.
Silence.
There was a deathly silence.
Everyone stared at Fang Chen with their mouths agape.
He had created a miracle and defeated the seeded contestant, Jing Fei, to enter the top three.
"How is this possible?"
After a long time, exclamations came from the crowd.
"He actually blocked Jing Fei from the Flying Cloud City from entering the top three."
"It's unbelievable."
"His sword technique is invincible among his peers."
In the crowd.
Praises for Fang Chen were endless.
The butler's eyes shone with golden light, and he was a little moved.
"What an exquisite sword technique."
It was hard for him to imagine that a young man could display such an ancient sword technique.
"Jing Fei, you deserve to lose."
The messenger who brought Jing Fei back sighed.
Xiao He finally began to look at Fang Chen seriously.
"His sword technique is not bad. It's finally not so boring. I have an opponent," Xiao He said.
After two rounds of the competition, the top three had been decided.
This meant that Fang Chen was at least the deputy commander.
The martial artists from the Thousand Autumns City who were dissatisfied with Fang Chen were shocked and speechless.
"After two rounds of the competition, the top three have been decided."
The butler said.
"The final competition will determine the ranking of the three of you."
The competition system was very simple. It was a challenge system.
Anyone could challenge the other. As long as they were in an invincible position, they would be worthy of being first in the overall selection.
Xiao He stood with his hands behind his back, looking very indifferent.
The other person looked away from Xiao He with fear and landed on Fang Chen.
"Lin Chen, I want to challenge you."
Only by defeating Lin Chen could he secure the second place.
He would get the position of commander that he still coveted.
"I've reserved the first place."
Fang Chen was very domineering. "You two discuss who will be second."
