Meng Jingxiu’s challenge announcement had just been issued when two figures rushed towards the stage.
However, the one from Luo Throat Academy was obviously closer and rushed to the square stage first. When the other one saw that someone from Luo Throat College had already gone up, he had to turn back resentfully.
“I am Zu Junjie from Luo Throat Academy, carrying 10 points. Miss Meng, you are no match for me, for the sake of you being a woman, as long as you admit defeat ……”
Zu Junjie didn’t even finish his words, Meng Jingxiu had already sacrificed her magic weapon.
A fiery red halberd shadow instantly completely blocked Zu Junjie’s retreat, and after this to fiery red halberd shadow stabbed out, the forbidden system at the edge of the square tournament stage was stirred by the halberd shadow and shook.
What a powerful true essence, Ning Cheng could tell right away that this Meng Jingxiu was much stronger than Zu Junjie. Zu Junjie’s cultivation level was already at the eighth level of True Condensation, but sometimes the strength of a cultivator could not be explained by just a high cultivation level. Ning Cheng knew this very well, before and after the Xuanhuang Origin had transformed his meridians, there was definitely a world of difference in the strength of his cultivation at the Condensing True layer.
Seeing Meng Jingxiu’s halberd shadow, Ning Cheng’s previous displeasure towards this woman had instead subsided a lot. There were not many women who used halberd magic treasures in the first place, and this halberd of Meng Jingxiu’s was over three feet long when it was activated, it was simply a battlefield bruiser. It was evident that this woman was originally such a straightforward nature that would not speak and easily offend people.
Ning Cheng was using a remnant spear, which he could only carry on his back all the time because he did not have a large storage bag. So when he saw Meng Jingxiu casting the halberd, a sense of sympathy arose.
Zu Junjie did not expect Meng Jingxiu to make a move without saying a word, and in his panic he offered up one of his round shield magic weapons.
There was a “click”. Before the round shield magic weapon could be fully sacrificed, it was blown away by the shadow of Meng Jingxiu’s halberd.
Zu Junjie was also stirred by the powerful true essence and flew backwards for ten metres, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. If the square stage had not been so huge, he might have been blown to the edge of the forbidden system.
“You sneak attacked.” Zu Junjie said with great anger.
Meng Jingxiu sneered, “There’s no need to sneak attack when dealing with you? Angry…river…tide …. Rising ……”
With this clear cry from Meng Jingxiu, endless shadows of the halberd were like waves suddenly formed, overwhelmingly surging towards Zu Junjie. The immense killing intent and powerful true essence stirred out from this wave, and those who were closer to the battle could feel chills run down their bodies. This halberd technique was too terrifying.
All those who saw this move understood that if Meng Jingxiu had used this move to sneak in earlier, it would have been a true sneak attack, and Zu Junjie would not even have had the chance to sacrifice his round shield.
Zu Junjie’s face also turned white at the sight of this move, so how could he dare to think of anything else at this moment, and with a lift of his hand, a pair of True Martial Golden Tiger Hooks were offered up by him. Zu Junjie had already sensed that Meng Jingxiu’s true essence was even more powerful than his, and while offering the True Martial Golden Tiger Hooks, he was already frantically running his true essence. If possible, he was even willing to burn his true essence. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful female cultivator of the sixth level of True Condensation.
Zu Junjie was at the eighth level of True Condensation and had been chosen to represent Luo Throat Academy in the third round of the competition, so she was clearly not someone who had made her name in vain.
After the True Martial Golden Tiger Hook was sacrificed with all his might, it likewise formed one golden hook pattern after another.
However, anyone with a higher level of cultivation could see that although Zu Junjie’s golden hook pattern was one after another, it lacked an aura and a distinct level compared to Meng Jingxiu’s halberd shadow that was like a shocking wave.
“Boom boom boom ……” Like a giant wave lapping against a reef, the powerful crashing sounds continued, and the true essence stirred the tournament stage’s prohibitions trembled.
“Ka-ching.” The golden hook pattern formed by Zu Junjie finally shattered completely, and several unblocked halberd shadows blasted at Zu Junjie’s body. It directly blew Zu Junjie away once again, while a dozen of blood spurted out from his body.
With a “thud”, Zu Junjie landed on the edge of the stage, and without waiting for Meng Jingxiu to come forward again, he took the initiative to call out, “I concede defeat.”
At that moment, Zu Junjie was already covered in blood and bruises, and if the fight continued, his life would definitely be in danger.
Trembling, he stood up and walked out of the ring. For Zu Junjie, at this time, the most frightening thing was not the injuries on his body, but the fact that he had conceded defeat after only two shots. Under so many eyes, he had lost to a woman whose cultivation level was even lower than his in less than two blows, how could he hold up his head in the future?
On the third huge array projection screen, the twenty-five names were already missing one Zu Junjie. At the same time the score behind Meng Jingxiu had also changed from 10 points, to 20 points.
The main square was silent for a while, before a huge cheer erupted. This unexpected result of the competition was most welcome.
Liu Xian murmured in surprise, “I really didn’t expect that Meng Jingxiu would win, does our Divine Wind Academy still have a chance?”
Meng Jingxiu calmly walked off the stage, obviously out of the anger she had just received here at Ning Cheng. She did not name her name on the stage this time, and was not part of challenging or being challenged.
Ji Luofei whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear, “This woman is so powerful, if she wants to challenge you later, you should be more careful.”
Ning Cheng nodded and agreed with Ji Luofei, this Meng Jingxiu’s strikes were indeed very powerful. But to say that she could challenge herself, Ning Cheng thought that Ji Luofei had overestimated her. Even if Meng Jingxiu wanted to challenge him, it would be towards the end of the third round of the competition, or at least when the Divine Wind Academy had no more opponents. With Meng Jingxiu’s skills, Ning Cheng did not think she would be able to last until then.
There was absolutely no way that the top Condensed Truth experts sent out by the Five Star Academy could all be opponents like Zu Junjie.
The Divine Wind Academy, which had originally been treated like trash, had saved some face because of Meng Jingxiu’s first match, and at least there were no more other Five Star Academies to mock Liu Xian.
“Good, good, not bad.” Liu Xian kept praising Meng Jingxiu, to him, Meng Jingxiu had won more than just a match. He had been ridiculed at the main altar, and now that Meng Jingxiu had won, he simply didn’t bother going up there anymore.
Just as the crowd was talking about Meng Jingxiu of Divine Wind Academy, a figure once again landed on top of the tournament stage.
It was a handsome man dressed in white, looking extremely suave. His long, dark red hair fell casually over his shoulders, giving him an extra touch of unrest. If there was any other flaw in his appearance, it would be his slightly hawkish nose. But this may be another sign of strength in the eyes of some people.
Some of the young girls in love with the playfulness were already screaming, so it was clear that this man in white did sell out.
The white-clothed man gave a fist clasp to the surroundings before saying aloud, “Shui Yu of Meteoric Star Academy, carrying 10 points to challenge Ning Xiaocheng of Divine Wind Academy.”
Shui Yu’s words caused Ning Xiaocheng, who had already been forgotten, to heat up once again; Ning Xiaocheng was the one who had come first in the preliminary written test, only to get 11 points in two rounds in the real Grand Competition, causing jokes. And at this time, Ning Xiaocheng’s cultivation level was also revealed, the cultivation level was not considered to be ugly, the third level of condensing truth.
But the third level of True Condensation, trying to compare with a seventh level of True Condensation, the result would not even need to be guessed.
“Ning Xiaocheng is looking for death this time, he doesn’t know how he offended Shui Yu of the Shui Family. Seventh level of True Condensation versus third level of True Condensation, there’s no need to even think about the outcome.”
“Hmph, is Shui Yu of the Shui Clan an ordinary seventh level of True Condensation? He is the first genius of the latter generation of the Shui Family, and he is also representing the Meteorite Star Academy in the battle, even an ordinary ninth level of Condensing Truth may not be his opponent.”
“This Ning Xiaocheng is really good at causing trouble, I heard not long ago that he killed Shui Yu’s younger brother.”
“What? No wonder Shui Yu wanted to challenge him, this is a death wish of his own.”
“Hmph, I’m sure Ning Xiaocheng won’t fight, he must have given his points to one of the masters of Divine Wind Academy.”
“That’s right, no one would do such a thing as seeking death.”
……
Meng Jingxiu coldly glanced at Ning Cheng, this was self-inflicted, had she known to give her the score, wouldn’t everything have been fine now?
She was waiting for Ning Cheng to beg to come to her, even if she brought Ning Cheng’s score, she would still have to taunt him when the time came.
Ning Cheng obviously wouldn’t beg Meng Jingxiu, she patted the slightly nervous Ji Luofei and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not like you haven’t seen me strike before.”
There was another thing Ning Cheng had not told Ji Luofei, his current strength was many times stronger than that of the Falling Thunder Desert back then. This was not only because his cultivation level had been raised to the third level of Condensing Truth, but more so because his meridians had been completely transformed by the Xuanhuang Origin.
“Junior Brother Xiao Cheng, if you don’t mind, I can help you out in the battle.” A man with thick eyebrows walked up to Ning Cheng and cupped his fist and spoke.
After Liu Xian’s introduction, Ning Cheng knew who this man was, he was Chu Yongxin, who had the strongest Condensed True Strength in Divine Wind Academy. What Chu Yongxin meant was for Ning Cheng to give him the points so that Shui Yu would not be qualified to challenge Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng clasped his fist and thanked him, “Thank you Senior Brother Chu, it’s better for me to go by myself, seeing how that guy is going to eat people, I’d better take the initiative to go up and let him eat.”
After saying that Ning Cheng smiled at Ji Luofei and slowly walked towards the stage with his lance on his back.
Meng Jingxiu looked at Ning Cheng’s back in confusion, she really didn’t expect Ning Cheng to dare to go into battle by himself, was he really ignorant and fearless? When she saw that Ning Cheng was already approaching the ring, she shook her head somewhat speechlessly, “I can’t believe I’m bothering with a jerk.”
“Huh, that Ning Xiaocheng is really out for battle, I know him, it’s Ning Xiaocheng who walked onto the stage. There really is a guy who is actively looking for death ……” When he saw Ning Cheng walk onto the stage, a voice of disbelief rang out.
“I guess he’s still thinking about whether he can do the same as he did in the preliminary written test and come out with a bang.”
“Hmph, that’s a dream ……”
“It doesn’t have to be a dream, maybe when Ning Xiaocheng went on stage, that Meteorite Academy’s Shui Yu suddenly went to sleep. Then Ning Xiaocheng, easily won.”
“You’re looking for death, you dare to flirt with Shui Yu, you’ll be dead if the people of the Shui family hear you.”
……
All kinds of statements were made, none of them were optimistic that Ning Cheng could defeat Shui Yu.
