Unfortunately, what Gongluo Ba didn't know was that Menglin really didn't care about this kind of low-ranking soul fire.
It was almost the same as the first round against Guan Yiliu. Even though Gongluo Ba tried his best to activate the Gongluo Flame, he still couldn't break through Menglin's Azure Dragon Emperor Armor.
Menglin, on the other hand, defeated Gongluo Ba with just a few casual punches.
In the third round, Menglin met Brother Kan of the Kun Sheng University. Brother Kan's strength was the weakest among the top ten.
However, Brother Kan's mentality was very calm. With a learning attitude, he exchanged pointers with Menglin. Even though he was defeated by Menglin, he didn't feel depressed at all.
After three consecutive victories, Menglin welcomed his fourth opponent.
This opponent was the Eastern Imperial Palace's Prince Zhengqiang.
Although the Seventh Princes Of The East had never mentioned Prince Zhengqiang's enmity to Menglin, Menglin could still feel that this Prince Zhengqiang had some opinions about him.
Menglin had a very accurate grasp of a cultivator's temperament. He knew that this Prince Zhengqiang's enmity towards him was mostly because of his appearance. The Seventh Princes Of The East's status in the eyes of the Eastern Imperial Palace's Lord had risen greatly, and he had become the first successor. This situation was obviously disadvantageous to Prince Zhengqiang.
Although Prince Zhengqiang hated Menglin very much, he had no choice but to show a cultured and refined appearance on the surface.
Menglin naturally knew that the other party was just putting on an act, so he didn't expose him.
"Medicine Master Menglin has hidden his strength well. Your martial talent is so amazing. Zhengqiang has the opportunity to experience it today. I hope that Medicine Master Menglin will show mercy." Prince Zhengqiang said with a faint smile.
Menglin nodded, "I've heard that Prince Zhengqiang is the top genius of the Holy Spirit Island's younger generation. Today, I'll take this opportunity to spar with you."
The two of them pretended to be polite.
"Please!"
"Please!"
After the pleasantries were over, the moment they made their move, they no longer held back.
It had to be said that Prince Zhengqiang's cultivation was indeed in the top three among the disciples of the Holy Spirit Mansion. He even had the chance to compete for the first place.
There was no conclusion as to whether he or the Seven Princes Of The East was stronger.
However, Menglin felt that apart from the mysterious man on the New Star List, Prince Zhengqiang was the most difficult opponent he had ever encountered.
Prince Zhengqiang's realm was also at the pinnacle of Second Saint, but his true battle prowess was definitely enough to crush most first round Saints!
Unfortunately, Prince Zhengqiang was still unable to shake Menglin's Blue Dragon Imperial Armor even after using all his means!
As for Menglin's counterattack, he didn't even use any magical powers. He only used the pure force of his fists to continuously attack!
Sensing Menglin's terrifying fists, the panicked Prince Zhengqiang actually activated The Blessed One's formation in a moment of desperation!
For a moment, it wasn't easy for Menglin to break through this tortoiseshell.
Fortunately, Menglin knew that as long as he repeatedly punched the protective shield formed by The Blessed One's formation, this shield wouldn't last long.
His opponent's defeat was already set.
The Eastern Imperial Palace Lord, who was watching the battle from afar, was also slightly speechless when he saw this scene.
"Donghuang Zhengqiang didn't care about the big picture and actually used The Blessed One's formation. This battle is a little too embarrassing." The Eastern Imperial Palace Lord was a little unhappy.
It wasn't that he didn't want Prince Zhengqiang to win. If it was any other opponent, the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with Prince Zhengqiang using all his means.
However, the problem was that Prince Zhengqiang was now facing Medicine Master Menglin.
Not to mention the significance of Medicine Master Menglin to the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord, even in terms of actual strength, there was still a huge gap between Prince Zhengqiang and Medicine Master Menglin.
This point could already be fully observed through the previous battle.
"I hope Medicine Master Menglin won't hold a grudge against me."
The Eastern Imperial Palace Lord sighed in his heart. He could also see that Medicine Master Menglin wouldn't give up on the ranking battle so easily.
Not to mention Prince Zhengqiang, even if the Seventh Princes Of The East were in the arena, Menglin wouldn't go easy on him.
This was the Council of the Holy Ghost, a sacred stage.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the protective formation of The Blessed One, which could have lasted for two hours, was blasted open by Menglin!
Menglin, who was depressed, was too lazy to hold back. He sent Donghuang Zhengqiang flying with a punch and blasted him out of the arena!
Prince Zhengqiang stood up in a sorry state under the arena. He was also in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.
The next moment, the entire arena was filled with applause like a tidal wave.
After that, Menglin was like a hot knife through butter, winning six rounds in a row.
In the seventh round, Menglin met the Independent Martial Artist Yu Zheng.
However, Yu Zheng was very interesting. He actually admitted defeat directly.
This made Menglin feel a little surprised. Yu Zheng, this dark horse, Menglin was still very interested in Menglin.
Menglin originally thought that he would have a fierce battle with Yu Zheng, but Yu Zheng actually admitted defeat directly. Moreover, he looked very polite.
Menglin was extremely puzzled. He also didn't know whether this Yu Zheng was deliberately going easy on him or really felt that his strength was inferior to his.
In this way, Menglin obtained another seven consecutive victories in the ranking competition.
In the eighth round, Menglin finally met the Seventh Princes Of The East.
The Seventh Princes Of The East thought for a long time and said with a bitter smile, "I've thought for a long time about that battle armor of yours, but I still can't crack it.
Therefore, there's no need to waste time in this battle.
In the eighth round, another one took the initiative to admit defeat.
This made the main character halo on Menglin's body simply reach the peak for a time.
One had to know that the ranking competition was a bitter battle that had to be fought for in every round. Because the outcome of every round would determine the final ranking.
As long as there was a loss, the hope of fighting for first place would virtually be gone.
The Seventh Princes Of The East was not deliberately going easy on Menglin. He really couldn't find a way to crack Menglin's Azure Dragon Imperial Armor. Therefore, he considered for a long time and still decided to give up this battle.
In this way, Menglin obtained his eighth consecutive victory incomparably easily.
Under normal circumstances, winning eight consecutive matches, the hope of locking in first place was very high.
However, this time, Menglin was not able to lock in first place.
Because his last opponent also had no record of defeat up until now.
This opponent was called Ke Jue.
This person fought the Seventh Princes Of The East, Prince Zhengqiang, and Yu Zheng consecutively and actually obtained victory in all of them.
In this way, this Ke Jue undoubtedly replaced Yu Zheng and became the most popular and also the most mysterious dark horse.
At the same time, everyone was also extremely curious about this mysterious itinerant martial artist.
Where did this itinerant martial artist come from? How could he defeat so many geniuses in a row?
When the Seventh Princes Of The East admitted defeat, he even warned Menglin, "Be careful of that Ke Jue. This person's cultivation base is above mine. I estimate that he has already reached the Saint Realm!
He is definitely not an ordinary itinerant martial artist. "
Menglin also knew that the Seventh Princes Of The East did not choose to fight with him because he wanted to preserve his strength for a peak battle with Ke Jue in his best condition.
Previously, both of them had won eight consecutive matches. Whoever won would be first on the Genius Ranking.
In this way, this battle became the most suspenseful battle in the final round of the ranking competition.
This was because this battle would determine the champion of the Genius Ranking.
The warrior who won would be the champion of the Genius Ranking, and the warrior who lost would be the runner-up of the Genius Ranking.
Although it was only a difference of one place, this difference of one place was like heaven and earth.
