Chapter 78: Battle For The Top Ten

When there were only hundred participants left on the arena including Ye Xiao, Feng Lin, Lu Li, Xu Qing and Lin Hao, at this time, the previous man again flew on the arena and said, "Congratulations all of you for obtaining a place in the top hundred. Now you all are qualified to become the disciple of the five great sects and the Imperial Family. Now rest for one day. Next day will be the final day of the competition."

.....

Next day, everyone once again gathered at the same place for the second stage of the second round of competition.

After sometime, once again the sect leader of the five great sects and the king of the Azure Dragon Country, they came with the formation master Wu Yu and the Grandmaster Wang. Then they again sat down on their throne like stone seats.

After that, the previous man who hosted the first stage of the second round of competition again flew on the arena and then he waved his hands on the air without saying anything.

Suddenly, many small tokens appeared out of nowhere and landed on every participants hands. Ye Xiao looked at the token in his hand and saw that it was just a normal token. There was a number written on it. He looked at others token and saw that everyone's token had different number written on it. His token's number was 57.

When the man on the arena saw that all hundred participants now had the token in their hands, he said, "The rules of this round is very simple. Everyone has a token and every token has its own unique number. The holder of token number one will fight against the holder of token number two. The holder of number three will fight against the holder of number four and so on. The winner will wait till we decide the top fifty. Once the top fifty is decided then again they will fight to decide the top twenty-five. Once Top twenty-five is decided then the rules to fight will change. I will tell the rules at that time."

"Once the fight between the participants starts, it will only stop when the winner is decided or either of the two participants admits defeat. When one participants admit defeat then the other one has to immediately stop otherwise he or she will be disqualified and loose the opportunity to enter one of the five great sects or the Imperial Family."

"Now, the holder of token number one and token number two, please come on the arena to fight."

Once he finished telling, two young man started to walk toward the arena and that man also flew down.

When both young man stood opposite to one another, that man said, "Now let the fight begin."

Just as his voice ended, both of them erupted with their full power and started to fight.

"Raging Wave Fist"

"Hundred Change Palm."

One of them used a fist attack while the other one used his palm attack. When their attack collided with each other, both of them retreated some steps back. One of them who used the palm attack vomited out a mouthful of blood. But he still continue to fight.

Soon the winner was decided and now it was the turn for the holder of token number three and token number four to fight.

Two young man again walked toward the arena.

"Hey, look, he is Chen Xiang right."

"Yes and the one who is fighting against him is... Oh my god, it is Lin Xu Qing. Chen Xiang is actually fighting against Xu Qing."

"Even though Chen Xiang is the young master of the Chen Family, he still a martial artist at the Sixth Stage no wait... now he is at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. But he still far away from Xu Qing."

"Exactly. In my opinion, he should just admit his defeat so that he can save himself from embarrassing in front of so many people."

.....

.....

Chen Xiang adopted an extremely eager stance as though he couldn't wait to battle. But when he saw Xu Qing walking toward the arena, his was shocked for a moment and his eyes flickered with fear but at this moment he heard the discussion of the crowd. His fear immediately turned into anger. He was actually looked down.

"Xu.. Qing." After being shocked and then becoming angry, the corner of his mouth curled up into an icy smile.

Both of them ascended on the platform, standing in front of each other.

"Xu Qing, on this kind of stage under the watchful eyes of the thousands of people, if a so-called genius like you will be eliminated by a person like me who is only a Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm martial artist. How amusing would that be?" Chen Xiang calmly said with a smug smile.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing what Chen Xiang said. He looked at Chen Xiang but didn't said anything as if he he didn't put Chen Xiang in his eyes.

This behaviour of Xu Qing immediately sparked Chen Xiang anger once again. His body exploded forth with an extremely intense aura.

"This..." Even from so far away, the crowd could still feel the relentlessly surging aura of Chen Xiang as their heart trembled.

Chen Xiang had not started to battle yet but he had already released the strongest aura he could, not bothering to save his strength to fight a protracted battle. This action of his showed his self confidence at the same time as if he was making an statement to Xu Qing. In front of him, Chen Xiang, even if Xu Qing's cultivation is two stages higher than him, Xu Qing was not worth much.

He wanted to use his strongest, most tyrannical strength he could muster , to directly smash Xu Qing apart.

He was Chen Xiang, young master of the Chen Family. Only son of the current patriarch of the Chen Family but today he was looked down by the crowd because of Xu Qing. He was angry, very angry.

"This young man is quite interesting." Sect leader of the Blue Cloud Sect looked at Chen Xiang with interest. All other sect leader also nodded their heads.

"If you are done then come at me." Xu Qing lazily said.

This kind of self-confidence was something that the crowd had already expected from Xu Qing after all he was the renowned genius.

This indifferent attitude of Xu Qing once again ignited Chen Xiang's anger even more. Under the gazes of thousands of people, Chen Xiang moved toward Xu Qing with extremely fast speed. A sword suddenly appeared in his hand. In a moment he immediately appeared in front of Xu Qing. With a slight wave of his sword, his sword transformed into waves of meteor shower, lighting up the entire battle platform.

"Meteor Star Falling Sword."

With a single sword slash, Chen Xiang sealed all the escape routes of Xu Qing and caged him within a certain area. And at this moment, tens of sword wave attack started to fall on him from above as if meteor falling on the ground from the sky.

Xu Qing didn't move from his place. He simply stood there undisturbed, as if what had appeared before him was nothing to do with him. His expression was as calm as it was before and unexpectedly, there was no weapon in his hand.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Xiang's eyes. Since Xu Qing wanted to bring upon his own destruction, he will definitely grant this wish of Xu Qing wholeheartedly.

The waves of sword attack that filled the air carried with it a terrifying aura. Rays of sword wave pierced toward Xu Qing.

At this moment, a stunning scene appeared that really stunned every single person who was present there, watching the competition.

Xu Qing's aura exploded forth and as if this aura of his had become a shield. Every wave of sword attack that comes near it was instantly blocked by Xu Qing's aura and shattered.

"Aura Shield"

Xu Qing muttered in a low voice.

When Chen Xiang saw this, he was stunned for a moment. He felt as if he was dreaming right now. His full strength attack shattered into nothing by just Xu Qing's aura. From start to till the end, Xu Qing didn't even moved his hands.

He never thought that the difference between him and Xu Qing was so big.

"You become angry by just listening to the discussion of people and you wanted to eliminate me. You, a person, who can be provoked by others so easily is not qualified to become a martial artist. If your nature is really like this, I am sure, you will never achieve anything great in your entire life." Xu Qing said slowly.

When Chen Xiang heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He also understood his own weakness at this time.
