Chapter 335: Chapter 300: The Proud Son of Heaven, Who Can Compete!
Ye Chen defeated Murong Qiqi, who controlled the Law Sword Seed, and in the comprehension of the Law Sword Seed, he had reached an inconceivable level!
And this stunningly beautiful girl, Jiang Yao, who had always been with Ye Chen and was obviously deeply connected to him, also defeated Lu Xiaojia, who controlled the Law Sword Seed, and even showcased a type of divine swordsmanship!
This of course shocked the Heavenly Saints immensely and startled countless warriors into exclaiming with awe!
Even when Jiang Yao completely defeated Lu Xiaojia, eliminating him from the competition, and Jiang Yao's Void Heaven Sword Qi suddenly surged to over 120 million, almost tying with Ye Chen for the top rank, the entire Void Heaven Sword Valley's three major sword-fighting areas fell deadly silent at once as countless Sword Cultivators watching the Void Heaven Sword Ranking were struck dumb.
Because they clearly saw that, at the same time Jiang Yao's Void Heaven Sword Qi surged, Lu Xiaojia's ranking plummeted from third to nowhere to be found!
Certainly, Lu Xiaojia had been eliminated by Jiang Yao!
The previously favored champion, Lu Xiaojia, had been eliminated, even the third-ranked had been eliminated!
This was simply the highest-ranked person to be eliminated since the start of the Spirit Sea Realm's sword-fighting competition!
This, of course, frightened countless people.
And as the news of Jiang Yao defeating Lu Xiaojia spread throughout the Spirit Sea Realm's later-stage sword-fighting zones, hearing that Lu Xiaojia had unleashed a tremendously powerful metal-based Law Sword Seed only to be eliminated by Jiang Yao shocked all Sword Cultivators.
The Law Sword Seed, oh!
That was definitely the strongest swordsmanship a Sword Cultivator at the Spirit Sea Realm could achieve. With that being eliminated, who else could win against Jiang Yao in swordsmanship?
Even Mo Beiling, who also harbored the technique of the Law Sword Seed, turned pale at once upon hearing this news and couldn't speak for a long time.
Mo Beiling had always thought that his Law Sword Seed technique would be an incredible trump card in this sword-fighting competition.
He had not expected that Lu Xiaojia would have the same trump card.
Even less did he expect, now, someone with this trump card, Lu Xiaojia, had lost!
This meant that he, Mo Beiling, would very likely be defeated by Jiang Yao as well.
Although the mastery of the Law Sword Seed varied from high to low, Mo Beiling felt that his Law Sword Seed was likely stronger than Lu Xiaojia's, but now he no longer dared to claim that he would surely take the first place on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking, the first place in the sword-fighting competition.
Because before him stood Jiang Yao, a girl he could not fathom at all, and Ye Chen, a youth he also could not see through!
These two were definitely the biggest obstacles on his path to the championship, and perhaps insurmountable ones at that!
Mo Beiling was shocked to his core, yet he still clung to his last shred of unwillingness to concede. But others no longer harbored many thoughts of winning the championship.
Even Fang Luohan, upon witnessing the fight between Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaojia, realized that he would not be Jiang Yao's match.
At this moment, many people only thought about fighting as much as possible against other Sword Cultivators before losing, eventually losing to Jiang Yao, who they could not overcome.
In the Spirit Sea Realm's later-stage sword-fighting zone, as Jiang Yao and Liu Qingmei flew towards other Sword Cultivators, many even bowed respectfully to Jiang Yao from afar, avoiding combat with her and starting fights with other Sword Cultivators instead!
The Spirit Sea Realm's mid-stage sword-fighting zone.
Seeing Jiang Yao's Void Heaven Sword Qi numbers skyrocket, Ye Chen also smiled.
Afterward, Ye Chen's figure moved, and he shot off towards other Sword Cultivators.
In the Void Heaven Sword Valley, beside the three sword-fighting areas, was a flowing Sword River.
All the Sword Cultivators who had been defeated and eliminated in the sword-fighting competition were now sitting cross-legged on huge leaves on the Sword River.
Above their heads in the void, the same magical lights permeated, illuminating the various scenes of sword-fighting in the three areas and a Void Heaven Sword Ranking hanging high.
When Jiang Yao fought Lu Xiaojia, in the Sword River, the number of eliminated Sword Cultivators had reached over six thousand, among them, Murong Qiqi, who had been defeated by Ye Chen, sat within the crowd.
Seeing the battle between Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaojia, especially when Lu Xiaojia unleashed the deadly power of the metal-based Law Sword Seed, Murong Qiqi was startled.
The girl had not expected that, aside from her and Ye Chen, another Sword Cultivator with the level of Law Sword Seed would appear.
And once Lu Xiaojia was defeated, Murong Qiqi looked at Jiang Yao with eyes full of disbelief. She had not thought that Lu Xiaojia, who had unleashed the killing power of the Law Sword Seed, would be defeated by Jiang Yao.
Murong Qiqi could feel that her combat strength was similar to Lu Xiaojia's.
This meant that even if she had not been defeated by Ye Chen, she would have ended up losing to Jiang Yao in the end!
"Ye Chen."
"Jiang Yao."
"In this Swordsmanship Tournament, two prodigies have emerged! Both are definitely stronger than I!"
Murong Qiqi's eyes sparkled with light.
"Both of them, I heard, are newly recruited disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace. In the Extreme North, within the Ice Snow Divine Palace, I had no rivals among the Sword Cultivators of the Spirit Sea Realm. Even against cultivators in the spinning Dan realm, using all my techniques, I could fight against many of the strongest at the later stages. Yet coming to Middle Domain showed me that there are skies beyond our skies and people beyond our people."
"After I return to the Extreme North this time, it seems I will need to seriously cultivate besides helping Ye Chen seek information on that Di Kong Heavenly Saint!"
Murong Qiqi was deeply moved by Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
Other sword cultivators who had been defeated felt the same intense impact from Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's swordsmanship.
In everyone's hearts surged a wave of admiration and a burning passion.
The admiration was for the strength of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao. Stay updated via M-V-L
And the burning passion was because their swordsmanship had not reached its limit, and Ye Chen and Jiang Yao were their role models; they needed to continue cultivating!
This deep feeling of admiration and fiery passion grew even more intense as the Swordsmanship Tournament continued, with more participants getting defeated and eliminated, plunging into the Sword River.
Because the defeated could clearly see, within the Spirit Sea Realm's mid-stage sword fighting area, Ye Chen swept through everything undefeated, without a single sword cultivator capable of stopping his victorious march.
In the entire mid-stage sword fighting area of the Spirit Sea Realm, as Murong Qiqi had been defeated, there was no one else who could be Ye Chen's match.
Even as the tournament proceeded into its second day and the limits separating the mid-stage and early-stage Spirit Sea Realm sword fighting areas were opened, allowing the remaining sword cultivators from both areas to battle each other, the situation remained unchanged.
Aside from two sword cultivators who pushed Ye Chen to once again unleash the killing power of Law Sword Seed resulting in their elimination, no one else posed a barrier to him; Ye Chen could eliminate these contenders even with high-level sword arrays.
Ye Chen's twice-executed Law Sword Seed's killing force made those in the eliminated Sword River who hadn't seen Ye Chen employ the Law Sword Seed techniques in the other two sword fighting areas gasp in astonishment.
Moreover, what shocked these sword cultivators was that many noticed towards the end, Ye Chen even began using many of the sword array techniques of those he had crossed swords with.
Clearly, Ye Chen, while engaging with those sword cultivators, was not only winning Void Heaven Sword Qi but also learning the swordsmanship of various sword cultivators.
Ye Chen, who had mastered the incredibly powerful Law Sword Seed technique, was not prideful or complacent, and kept learning relentlessly. Even lower-level sword array techniques than the Law Sword Seed did not escape his interest; he learned, pondered, and summarized them!
Looking on, many sword cultivators in the eliminated Sword River fell silent.
Many of them recalled that within their own sects, they belonged to the absolute elite of sword cultivators. Yet when facing those whom they deemed inferior, they could hardly avoid looking down on them.
Now, Ye Chen had taught them what it means to remain unhaunted by victory and always pursue continuous learning and growth.
"Perhaps, it is because of this that Ye Chen has become so powerful," many thought to themselves.
Throughout the early and mid-stage areas of the Spirit Sea Realm's Swordsmanship Tournament, Ye Chen swept through, continuously accumulating Void Heaven Sword Qi.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yao kept winning in the late-stage Spirit Sea Realm, victory after victory.
Aside from a few like Liu Qingmei, Mo Beiling, and Fang Luohan who hadn't faced Jiang Yao, the rest were being continuously eliminated.
The number of people in the eliminated Sword River kept increasing.
The situation on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking became clearer and clearer.
Many understood that among the few most powerful contestants remained the eventual champion of the Spirit Sea Realm Swordsmanship Tournament.
And among them, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who had already accumulated over 500 million strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi, were unquestionably the two hottest favorites to win the championship!
As the Swordsmanship Tournament arrived at the late moments of the third day.
When only five out of the nine thousand eight hundred sixty-eight participating sword cultivators remained after a slew of eliminations, the final five finally flew together.
These five individuals were Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Liu Qingmei, Mo Beiling, and Fang Luohan.
Now at the final moment, these five could no longer avoid battle and finally had to determine their respective standings!
