As the competition neared its end, the disciples of each peak were all strong. Among them, the disciples of Golden Tree Peak and Scarlet Flame Peak were the most outstanding, while the disciples of Wooden Flag Peak were barely on par with them. The rest of the peaks were slightly weaker.
Not long after the third round began, Yu Lieyan and Bing Ruoshui were drawn into the same group.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but rejoice, "This is going to be a good show."
Although he knew that these two beauties had always been interested in him, and he had always kept a distance from them, Ling Xiao didn't mind watching their real battle. After all, a battle between beauties was pleasing to the eye.
The two girls jumped onto the stage together, attracting the attention of all the "wolf children."
If it weren't for the fact that there were elders sitting on the viewing platform, they would have cried out in surprise.
"Who do you think will win, Junior Lieyan or Junior Ruoshui?"
"I think Junior Ruoshui has a higher chance of winning. Judging from her terrifying sword technique just now, it shouldn't be of a low level!"
"That's true, but Junior Lieyan hasn't really fought yet, so she must have something up her sleeve!"
"Who cares who wins? If I can dual cultivate with one of them, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life."
"That's the right thing to do!"
… …
The disciples below didn't dare to make a ruckus and could only discuss quietly.
On the stage, the two girls weren't in a hurry to fight. They just stared at each other, as if waiting for the moment the other revealed a flaw before choosing to attack.
Unexpectedly, Yu Lieyan suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Junior Bing, how about I fight with you?"
Unexpectedly, Bing Ruoshui took advantage of Yu Lieyan's words to thrust her Frost Sword towards her face.
Her attack was so fast and swift that the surrounding disciples couldn't help but exclaim, as if they were afraid to see the moment Yu Lieyan's delicate face was pierced.
Yu Lieyan wasn't easy to deal with. She leaned back slightly and quickly kicked Bing Ruoshui's wrist.
Bing Ruoshui's sword changed directions, dodging Yu Lieyan's kick and sweeping down again.
Yu Lieyan took advantage of the moment that Bing Ruoshui dodged to retreat. At the same time, he said, "The loser of this competition will withdraw from pursuing Junior Brother Ling. What do you think?"
"Humph! Who's chasing after him? If you want to chase after him, go ahead. It's none of my business!" Bing Ruoshui snorted coldly and stabbed at Yu Lieyan again.
"Remember what you said. In the future, don't go looking for him again. I'll be his concubine and senior apprentice-sister Yun will be his legal wife. I trust we'll be very happy," said Yu Lieyan as he nimbly dodged Bing Ruoshui's attacks.
When Bing Ruoshui heard this, her charming face became even colder. She angrily snorted and said, "You're shameless!" Immediately afterwards, a snowflake blossomed from the tip of her sword.
Yu Lieyan knew that Bing Ruoshui was starting to get angry. He was overjoyed. He turned around and unsheathed the fiery-red Soft Sword that was tied to his waist. He swept out a scarlet flame and collided with the snowflakes.
For a moment, it was hard to tell who was going to leave the arena. The disciples watching from below were stunned.
They weren't watching the exciting fight, but the contrast between the two women's figures and style.
On the Elder's Viewing Platform, Mu En teased Ling Xiao, "Xiao, these two girls are not bad. Why don't you marry them both?"
Mu En knew that the "Junior Brother Ling" that Yu Lieyan was talking about was Ling Xiao. Back in the Firefire Valley, Yu Lieyan and Bing Ruoshui had fought over Ling Xiao, and he had been present.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, "Martial Uncle, I can't mess things up. My partner is senior apprentice-sister Yun."
"Haha, I understand, I understand … It's best to marry them both. I believe that your Great Master can help you. Everyone in our Wood Flag Peak thinks highly of you!" Mu En had a sinister smile on his face.
The more outstanding Ling Xiao was, the better Mu En's mood was. After all, Ling Xiao also represented the face of their Wood Flag Peak.
Ling Xiao was too lazy to get entangled in this matter. He only looked at the two women, but in his heart, he was thinking, "Martial Uncle's idea is not bad. Let's see if we can find an opportunity to do it all. It's not worth it."
Ling Xiao was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. This point had long been proven in Meteorite City.
His great dream was to "wield the power of the world when awake, and lie on the knees of beauties when drunk."
Although he came to the Purple Sky Sect for Yun Mengqi, it did not stop him from being loyal to beauties. It was just that he had to restrain himself a lot, and he couldn't just accept any beauty he saw. For example, Wu Sixue and Wen Kedie were both pretty good looking, but Ling Xiao did not accept them because he did not have any feelings for them.
But Yu Lieyan and Bing Ruoshui were different. One was fire, and the other was ice. Both of them were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums. Moreover, they both had their own unique charisma. Any man would want to conquer these unique women.
Originally, Ling Xiao had not made up his mind to accept them. But after hearing his Martial Uncle's words, he changed his mind.
On this continent, which powerful man didn't have three wives and four concubines? Even having dozens of wives and concubines wasn't something out of the ordinary. The premise was that you had the strength and the means to make your own harem docile and obedient.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao could not help but hope that he could become stronger faster. Only then would he be able to do what he wanted to do!
In the arena, the two women used their full strength. Each of their moves was exceptionally dazzling.
In fact, in terms of real strength, Bing Ruoshui was slightly stronger than Yu Lieyan. It was just that Yu Lieyan was good at scheming. At the beginning, he had disturbed Bing Ruoshui's state, causing her to lose her cool.
In the end, both of them were injured and fell out of the arena at the same time. Only then did the competition end in a tie.
Even until the end of the competition, the surrounding "wolves" did not seem to feel satisfied. Saliva continued to drip from the corners of their mouths.
Ling Xiao could not help but shake his head. These two girls really fought hard. If he could punish them at the same time, it would be very exciting.
The competition quickly came to an end.
The five people left in the arena were all high rank spirit masters. They were the strongest representatives of the Purple Sky Sect.
These five were Xu Yi of the Golden Tree Peak, Zhao Nan of the Scarlet Flame Peak, Chen Wenyu of the Wooden Flag Peak, Luo Meiying of the Jade Spring Pavilion, and Yan Ze of the Crafting Peak.
Apart from Chen Wenyu and Luo Meiying, who were recruited from outside, the other three were the grandsons of the Peak Lord. They all grew up enjoying the best cultivation resources.
Among the five, Xu Yi and Zhao Nan were the strongest. Yan Ze hid his strength more deeply. Chen Wenyu and Luo Meiying had recently broken through and were relatively weaker.
The final battle between the five was arranged in the center of the arena.
The first battle was between Zhao Nan and Yan Ze.
Everyone thought that Zhao Nan would win within three hundred rounds. However, Yan Ze displayed his powerful battle strength. He actually fought evenly with Zhao Nan. In the end, both of them summoned their spirit beasts to help.
Zhao Nan's spirit beast was a third tier middle stage Scarlet Fierce Tiger. Yan Feng's spirit beast was not weak either. It was a third tier middle stage Firecloud Lion.
The battle between two people and two beasts made the disciples watching from the sidelines excited.
This was because this was a true battle of high rank.
Ling Xiao also watched attentively from the sidelines. Through observation, he felt that Zhao Nan was unstoppable. He had the aura of killing gods and ghosts. Yan Ze, on the other hand, maybe because of his age, fought steadily and calmly. He attacked while defending. Facing Zhao Nan's powerful attacks, he did not show any signs of losing.
In the end, Ling Xiao felt that Yan Ze would definitely be an upset. He could see that Yan Ze was still at ease. Unlike Zhao Nan, who was almost at the end of his rope.
Sure enough, after fighting for more than an hour, Yan Ze took advantage of Zhao Nan's exhaustion to throw him out of the ring.
This match ended with Yan Ze's victory.
However, although Yan Ze won, he was also heavily injured by Zhao Nan's last counterattack. Hence, it could be said that this was a narrow victory for him. It would probably be hard for him to fight again in the following matches.
The second battle was between Xu Yi and Luo Meiying.
No one was optimistic about Luo Meiying in this battle. The final result was indeed as everyone expected. Without any surprises, Luo Meiying lost.
But what surprised everyone was that Luo Meiying could not withstand ten moves from Xu Yi and was ruthlessly thrown out of the ring.
Although Luo Meiying was not as beautiful as Yu Lieyan and Bing Ruoshui, she was still a very eye-catching beauty in the eyes of these "wolves."
However, Xu Yi did not have the slightest bit of tenderness for the fairer sex. He directly attacked ruthlessly and threw Luo Meiying off the stage.
The moment Luo Meiying was defeated, Xu Yi cast a cold gaze in one direction.
This gaze carried a strong resentment, making people shiver involuntarily.
Due to Yan Ze's forfeiture, the last match was between Xu Yi and Chen Wenyu.
On the viewing platform, Mu Huai thought complacently, "Looks like my Wood Flag Peak is really lucky!"
In the past Great Sect Competitions, it was already not bad for Wood Flag Peak's disciples to be able to enter the top ten. This time, Chen Wenyu had directly fought his way to the championship, which made Mu Huai both happy and envious of his senior brother for taking in such a good disciple!
However, when he thought about how his own disciple, Ling Xiao, had gone up on stage, he didn't care too much about it. In any case, it was fine as long as someone from Wood Flag Peak had some face, and Ling Xiao didn't have to go up on stage.
On the stage, Chen Wenyu cupped his hands towards Xu Yi and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please."
Xu Yi coldly snorted and said to Chen Wenyu disdainfully, "You're not my match. It's not too late to admit defeat now to avoid suffering physical pain."
Xu Yi hated Ling Xiao so much that even the people from Wood Flag Peak couldn't stand him.
Chen Wenyu's expression changed. He knew that there was a certain gap between his strength and Xu Yi's, but he wouldn't allow Xu Yi to look down on him like this.
"Then let me experience Senior Brother Xu's great moves!" Chen Wenyu stomped his feet and leaped into the air like a goshawk pouncing on a rabbit. The long spear in his hand smashed down heavily towards Xu Yi.
"You overestimate yourself!" Xu Yi snorted coldly and arrogantly, and his body slightly dodged to the side.
Chen Wenyu took the opportunity to pursue and attack. His long spear swept out bursts of dazzling green spiritual energy, forcing the air to produce popping sounds.
Xu Yi repeatedly dodged and shouted, "I've already let you have three moves. Lose!"
After saying that, a golden blade flashed onto the stage.
Following that, a powerful golden blade shadow slashed towards Chen Wenyu with irresistible force.
This blade seemed to have also caused the surrounding spiritual energy to flash, and the whistling sound was very frightening.
"What a strong aura!" Chen Wenyu's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly used his strongest spiritual energy to attack the golden shadow.
Boom!
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood splattered everywhere, and a figure was heavily smashed out of the stage.
Immediately after, a loud shout rang out, "Ling Xiao, get off the stage and die!"
