Champion

"Ding!"

"Five disciples have advanced to the fifth round. The completion rate of the epic mission is 40%. The host has gained 20 contribution points."

"Ding!"

"Sect contribution points: 92/500."

Jun Changxiao said, "The fifth round is about to begin. Including the district finals, semi-finals, and the final, there are only four matches. It seems that the disciples need to take the top three in order to reach 100% completion rate."

The system said, "Yes."

Not long after, the fourth round ended.

Half of the thirty-two contestants were eliminated, and the other half advanced.

At this point, the sect competition had reached its climax because the disciples of various sects who remained in the winner's area were very strong.

Many martial artists were also guessing how many contestants would show their true strength next.

After a short break, the referee shouted, "The first match of the fifth round, Li Qingyang VS Sun Haotian!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Li Qingyang and Sun Haotian went on stage one after another.

The two cupped their hands, and when the referee shouted the start, they instantly started fighting.

This time, the opponent's strength was a bit strong. Li Qingyang didn't end the battle quickly, but he was entangled with him.

"Bang! Bang! "

The sound of fists and feet and spiritual power filled the air.

The two fought very admirably, and the spectators were also watching with great interest.

That's right.

Didn't they come all the way here to watch the battle between outstanding geniuses? What's the fun in ending the battle quickly?

"Bang! Bang! "

In a short period of time, Sun Haotian and Li Qingyang had exchanged more than twenty moves, but the more they fought, the colder his heart became.

Because that guy not only had spiritual power to protect his body, but his physical strength was also high. After resisting again and again, his arms were numb.

Although Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo, and the other two were not as crazy as Xiao Zui Ji, they still spent twelve to twelve hours a day in the Molding Room. Their physical strength was definitely high, otherwise, they would not have been able to eliminate their opponents so quickly.

Xiao Ziji, because he didn't open his meridians, could only take the route of extreme physical strengthening.

The three of them, on the other hand, fully developed their spiritual power and physical strength.

"Bang!"

In the end, after dozens of rounds, Sun Haotian couldn't hold on anymore and was blasted out of the arena by Li Qingyang.

"The winner of the first match of the fifth round is Li Qingyang!"

…

Next up was Lu Qianqian, and her opponent was still swept away mercilessly.

This woman didn't go to the training room. She had been cultivating in the spiritual energy array. In just a few days, the cyclone had gathered a vast amount of spiritual energy.

Li Qingyang relied on the combination of spiritual power and physical strength to defeat his opponent, while she relied on pure spiritual power to defeat her opponent.

Later on, Su Xiaomo and Tian Qi also relied on the dual explosion of their spiritual power and physical strength to knock down their opponents one by one.

The process of the battle was a little slow, and Zhang Xuan wasn't able to end the battle quickly. However, judging from his performance, Zhang Xuan was able to suppress Zhang Xuan in all aspects.

What was even more troublesome was …

Many of the experts present were unable to accurately estimate their true cultivation levels!

"These Iron Bone disciples haven't let go yet."

"Maybe their opponents are too weak, so they aren't able to unleash their full power."

"How could a ninth-rate sect cultivate such an outstanding disciple?"

Many experts were puzzled and looked at Jun Changxiao on the high platform.

This seemingly only Pulse Opening Level rookie was able to cultivate teenagers with mediocre aptitudes like Su Xiaomo and Tian Qi. It was really incredible!

"Too strong."

"The pressure is so great …"

Those who advanced to the next round all frowned when they saw Li Qingyang and the others defeating their opponents effortlessly.

At this time, if they still regarded the Iron Bone disciples as pushovers, they would really be fools.

The martial artists on the spectator stand were devastated.

The Iron Bone disciples advanced again and again, thinking that they might be the biggest dark horse in the sect's martial arts competition.

Now it seemed that they were really strong!

"One disciple from each of the three battle zones entered the regional finals. If they win, it's equivalent to setting a new record for a ninth-rate sect's disciple entering the top four!"

"The opponents in the regional finals must be at the level of Martial Disciple, or even higher than the first grade. No matter how strong they are, they won't advance."

While everyone was talking, the referee shouted, "The seventh match of the fifth round, Xiao Linye versus Xiao Ziji!"

"It's coming."

Jun Changxiao looked dignified.

Along the way, Xiao Ziji had defeated opponents at the Pulse Opening Stage, which were not worth mentioning. Xiao Linye at the Martial Disciple level was the real test!

"It's starting!"

"Cousin Linye has been cultivating in the Jueyin Valley for the past few months. His strength must have improved significantly. That guy is waiting to be abused!"

The Xiao Clan's direct descendant was "alive" again.

Although Xiao Ziji was lucky to defeat his opponents one after another, which frustrated their spirits, meeting Xiao Linye was tantamount to the end of their good luck.

At this time, they were still comforting themselves with "luck". This group of Xiao Clan's direct descendant was hopeless.

"Hmph."

On the high platform, a Xiao Clan elder said coldly, "Although he won the first few rounds, meeting Linye is tantamount to ending early."

The Xiao Clan was very confident in Xiao Linye. After all, he had already entered the Martial Disciple level and cultivated in the Jueyin Valley for a few months.

"Xiao Linye of the Xiao Clan is the favorite to win this year's Inter-Sect Martial Arts Competition. Xiao Ziji's dark horse road is coming to an end."

"It is said that this Xiao Clan's direct descendant's aptitude is also good, but he was always suppressed by Xiao Ziji until the other party became a cripple."

"Isn't that so? A few years ago, people called him Xiao Ziji's cousin and rarely mentioned his name."

Xiao Linye walked onto the stage and heard the crowd's discussion. His eyes gradually turned cold.

Five years ago, the title of Xiao Ziji's cousin tortured him like a nightmare. No matter how good his performance was, he had always been living in Xiao Ziji's shadow.

He was unwilling to accept it!

So, he cultivated harder. Finally, one day, after unremitting efforts … his cousin was reduced to a cripple.

"Ta."

Xiao Ziji stepped onto the stage.

"Cousin, I will defeat you in front of everyone and let everyone know that my name is Xiao Linye, not Xiao Ziji's cousin," Xiao Linye said with a cold face.

Xiao Ziji said, "You can't do it."

The martial artists in the spectator stand looked at him and saw the pride between his brows. In an instant, it was as if they saw the brilliant and stunning genius from five years ago!

Xiao Linye said with a cold gaze, "You haven't even opened your meridians. What right do you have to say that I can't do it!"

"No means no," Xiao Ziji said.

"Crack!"

Xiao Linye clenched his fists and his anger ignited.

He was usually quite calm, but facing Xiao Ziji, who used to live in the shadow, his emotions were a little difficult to control.

"Begin!" The referee said.

"Swish!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the angry Xiao Linye rushed over with a movement technique. His hands formed a seal and instantly displayed a dense number of palm prints.

"Thousand-hand Guanyin Palm!"

"It's the middle-rank mortal grade martial arts technique of the Jueyin Valley!"

An expert said in amazement.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! " In the blink of an eye, numerous palm prints came from different directions and bombarded Xiao Zui Ji's body, but he still stood in place like a boulder, motionless.

"This …"

The martial artists in the spectator stand twitched their mouths.

The direct descendant of the Xiao Clan was a Martial Disciple and even used an intermediate-rank palm technique, but he did not even take a step back. The strength of his physical body was simply terrifying!

"Swish!" Xiao Linye's palm turned into a fist and blasted at an extremely fast speed. The strength of his fist was at least two thousand five hundred catties.

Unfortunately, when it blasted on Xiao Ziji's chest, only a 'bang' was heard, and he still did not move.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Linye knew that his physical body was strong, but he did not expect that when they really fought, he would be so strong that it was difficult for him to move even with his martial arts technique!

Xiao Ziji said, "Cousin taught you that you can't be too hasty when fighting with others, and you can't mess up your state of mind. It seems that you have long forgotten."

"Trash is not qualified to teach me!" Xiao Linye's face was ferocious and angry. His other fist blasted over with thousands of catties of force.

"Swish!"

Xiao Ziji dodged. Moreover, he dodged with just a sidestep.

Many masters were amazed.

Xiao Linye missed and once again used the Thousand-Hand Guanyin Palm, launching an airtight attack. However, no matter how he hit, it was difficult to move Xiao Ziji.

On the high platform.

The Xiao Clan Grand Elder's face became more and more ugly, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger.

He could see that it was difficult for Xiao Linye to move Xiao Ziji. His state of mind was already messed up, and if he continued to fight, something would happen sooner or later.

Sure enough.

When Xiao Ziji took the palm print head-on, he staggered again and raised his fist from the side and blasted it on Xiao Linye's elbow joint.

The elbow joint could make the arm more flexible, but it was also the most fragile.

Although the punch did not dislocate him, it brought a strong sense of pain to Xiao Linye. He hurriedly covered his elbow and took a few steps back.

Xiao Ziji said, "You have an injury here."

Yes.

When cultivating in Jueyin Valley, Xiao Linye's arm was injured. Although it was not a big deal, it was still a hidden danger.

"Have I been discovered …" His face was even more ferocious.

Xiao Ziji shook his head and said, "You're fighting with an injury, so you're no match for me. Hurry up and get off the stage."

Damn it!

Is he looking down on me?

Unforgivable, unforgivable!

Xiao Linye clenched his fists and poured his spirit power into them. He once again rushed over with his body technique.

In an instant, the air waves rolled up and blew away the surrounding dust!

Xiao Ziji no longer used his physical body to take the attack head-on. He stepped back step by step, avoiding the attack step by step. At the same time, he took advantage of the opportunity to hit Xiao Linye's elbow joint.

Although Xiao Linye had been deliberately protecting himself, he would be hit from time to time. The injury that was not serious gradually worsened, and there were bursts of heart-wrenching pain.

Judging from the situation of the battle, he was still suppressing Xiao Ziji, but in the eyes of the masters, his speed was much slower than before.

…

"Xiao Ziji's physical body is too strong. If the direct descendants of the Xiao Clan can't attack effectively, they will put themselves in a disadvantageous position sooner or later."

"His body is so hard that it's not easy to shake him, unless you use a weapon."

"The sect's martial arts competition has never allowed participants to use weapons. In my opinion, the direct descendant of the Xiao Clan is in danger."

"Tsk tsk, he can fight a Martial Disciple without opening his meridians. How terrifying!"

"Look, the faces of the Xiao Clan's elders are green with anger."

"A monster whose body has been tempered to such a degree was expelled by the Xiao Clan. They must be angry and green with envy."

Many powerhouses were watching the battle while discussing.

The expressions of the Xiao Clan's elders on the high platform were constantly changing, and the anger in their bodies was overflowing.

They could not accept that the trash who was expelled from the Xiao Clan could fight evenly with Xiao Linye, who had been trained with all their strength, because … they knew.

Evenly matched?

The Xiao Clan's elders were too naive.

Xiao Ziji had been looking for flaws and mercilessly hit Xiao Linye's elbow joint, causing him more pain and messing up the connection of his moves.

Even the ordinary martial artists could see that the direct descendant of the Xiao Clan was struggling more and more.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ziji's heavy punch hit Xiao Linye's elbow joint again.

With a crack, Xiao Linye suddenly grimaced and took a few steps back. His forehead was in so much pain that it broke out in cold sweat.

"Swoosh!"

Xiao Ziji strode over and circled behind him. He pressed his back against Xiao Linye's back and clasped his neck with a backhand, performing a beautiful shoulder throw.

"Plop!"

Xiao Linye landed heavily with a ferocious expression.

"It's over." Many powerhouses shook their heads.

This result had been doomed from the moment Xiao Linye's elbow joint injury was discovered.

Over? Not at all!

After Xiao Ziji put Xiao Linye down, he clasped one hand on his neck and said lightly, "Remember, your brother will always be your brother. Even if I become a trash, I'm not someone you can blaspheme."

"Bang! Bang! "

His right fist blasted down again and again with a strong wind.

In just a moment, Xiao Linye, who was originally arrogant and had high hopes, was beaten as badly as Bei Yu.

Jun Changxiao shrugged and said, "Favorite to win the championship? He's just trash. "

"…"

The Big Red Sect elder's mouth twitched.

A disciple who had not opened his meridians had beaten a genius of the Xiao Clan to such a state. He was convinced, convinced!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from beside his ear, startling him so much that he almost fell to the ground.

The Big Red Sect elder hurriedly turned his head to look and saw the toy in the Iron Bone Sect Leader's hand emitting green smoke. In the direction he pointed, a hole was pierced in the wall of the high platform in the distance!

The loud gunshot alarmed the martial artists in the spectator stands.

They all looked over and saw Jun Changxiao holding something in his hand. Opposite him, the Xiao Clan Grand Elder stood in front of the chair with a horrified expression. The hole in the wall was less than half a meter away from him.

"Did the Sect Leader shoot?"

Li Qingyang and Su Xiaomo were surprised.

"What was that sound just now?"

"It sounded like firecrackers!"

Everyone began to talk at once.

"Smack."

Jun Changxiao stepped on the chair with one foot and pointed his gun at the Xiao Clan Grand Elder. He said indifferently, "Sit down."

The Xiao Clan Grand Elder's expression was extremely ugly, but he could only sit down obediently after being attacked by the smoking object.

In particular, when he thought of the moment when he stood up, a stream of light with a terrifying force brushed past him, the horror in his heart was especially intense.

"I've sinned."

Jun Changxiao held his gun and said loudly, "Vent your anger well. I'll help you keep an eye on the grievances you've suffered all these years. If anyone dares to mess around, I'll make his head explode."

Xiao Zui Ji smiled, raised his fist again, and started punching again.

After a while, when Xiao Linye was almost beaten to death, he threw him out of the arena as if he was dragging a dead dog.

"The winner of the seventh match of the fifth round is Xiao Ziji!"

The referee's announcement reverberated throughout the entire venue, causing many martial artists to be unable to calm down for a long time …
