The sound of the two people’s magic treasures exploding together became insignificant.
The explosion of the talisman just past a moment, Ning Cheng is taken out a handful of talisman thrown out again. The onlookers were already speechless, how many low grade talismans did this Ning Cheng have?
The crowd then saw Ning Cheng slip behind Xi Yong amidst the countless exploding talismans and swept out with a single shot. It was a very simple process, and XI Yong just didn’t notice it.
“Boom.” Even though XI Yong was wearing silver armour, he was almost swept off his bones by Ning Cheng’s shot, and like Lu Ruman, he was directly swept off the ring. Even several of his defensive magic treasures fell to his side. When XI Yong climbed up, he just patted the dust on his body and put away his magic treasures, his face very calm.
When some cultivators who knew him came over to ask, he just shook his head and said, “I was accidentally attacked by a sneak attack.”
Only he himself knew in his heart that Ning Cheng was definitely not as simple as it appeared. He was sure that Ning Cheng’s talisman did not have a half-hearted effect on him, and the reason why Ning Cheng used the talisman was simply because he was afraid of showing too much power and no one would come on stage.
Ning Cheng showed mercy, he was still very clear in his heart.
With XI Yong also being blasted off by Ning Cheng, the cultivators watching the match all knew that Ning Cheng really seemed to have a few strikes.
Also because Lu Ruman and Xi Yong were blown out of the ring by Ning Cheng without suffering half an injury, the number of people who came up to the ring to challenge Ning Cheng increased.
Ning Cheng would always have the same few sets, the ice based Xuan Bing Gun Duel, plus countless low grade talismans. Anyone who came onto the stage. Ning Cheng always used the Xuan Ice Spear Duel to entangle his opponent. Then he would take the opportunity to spill a handful of Xuan Ice Talismans. Then he would sneak attack and win. The last thing was to sweep the opponent off the ring, it was all a thousand times over. But this set of methods was just tried and true.
The only thing that the crowd found acceptable was that Ning Cheng’s true essence was limited, and despite sweeping all these people out of the ring, none of them were actually injured.
This was already the thirteenth match in a row that Ning Cheng had won, but Ning Cheng had already noticed that something was wrong because the people coming up were taking longer and longer intervals. He still intended to win eighty matches in a row. If things went on like this, it would be difficult to win twenty games in a row.
Jiang Jun of the Red Star Sword Sect stopped a XuanDan cultivator who was dripping with murderous aura and was about to rush into the ring, “Senior brother Jin Lin, don’t go up there. This man is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you are definitely no match for him. He and I have a deep grudge, I will find a chance to finish him off.”
This XuanDan cultivator said doubtfully, “Senior Brother Jiang, I was assessed to be ninth in the preliminary round of this XuanDan realm. I’ve looked around and so far. The highest cultivation level on the stage is only ranked around thirty.”
An Elder of the Harmonised Tripod said in a deep voice at the side, “Jiang Jun is right. You are not a match for that Ning Cheng. That Ning Cheng’s stature is already good enough to enter the third ranking, or even the first. If he ignores the feelings of the other factions and swipes points up there, someone will always go up to deal with him first.”
Hearing the words of this Elder Hua Ding, the cultivator called Jin Lin forcefully suppressed his killing intent. He thought that he was not afraid of Ning Cheng, but the words of Elder Huading had to be listened to.
Tantai Fei, the Vice Patriarch of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, laughed loudly, ”Good, this change is really good, but it is time for Ning Cheng to come down. I didn’t know that he could win so many in a row before, there are some details that I didn’t tell him ……”
All of them understood what Tantai Fei meant, Ning Cheng now had fourteen points, even if he didn’t take a single point below, this score was enough to bring back the deficit of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. As for saying that Ning Cheng was coming down, that was just an unspoken rule that everyone knew.
Ning Cheng waited for a while longer, but still no one came up, and just as he was filled with depression, a young man in a blue shirt landed on the ring.
“Leng Yu of the Heavenly Dao Sect has come to receive instruction.” This blue-shirted cultivator clasped his fist briefly at Ning Cheng as he came onto the stage, his demeanour indifferent.
As soon as Ning Cheng took a look at Leng Yu, he knew that this man was much tougher than all those Xuan Dan cultivators before him.
“It’s Leng Yu who was assessed third in the preliminary round, an expert from the Heavenly Dao Sect, we’re in for a treat this time.”
“Even the highest experts can’t stop a handful of talismans ……”
“Hmph, a talisman, you hit me with a low grade talisman to see? Only an idiot would think that Ning Cheng relies on talismans.”
Ning Cheng’s divine sense was so powerful that he had already heard these comments, instead he gave a fist bump to Leng Yu and said, “Brother Leng is incredibly powerful at first glance, I may not be a match, I’m going down to rest as well.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng simply ignored Leng Yu’s astonished gaze and took the initiative to get out of the ring. Defeating Leng Yu would obviously not be a problem, the problem was that he had even defeated the third ranked cultivator, who else would dare to challenge him in the future?
When Ning Cheng walked out of the ring with thirteen consecutive victories, many people were a little upset. According to reason, it was the right time to see who was the best between Ning Cheng and Leng Yu, but Ning Cheng had even taken the initiative to come down.
As soon as Ning Cheng came down, Elder Bei called Ning Cheng over.
“Ning Cheng, you have done well this time. The main thing is that you know how to advance and retreat, I was afraid that you wouldn’t know how to advance and retreat and stay on top of the ring.” Rui Bai Shan was very satisfied with Ning Cheng’s performance in the ring.
“What knows in and out?” Ning Cheng asked with some confusion.
“The Ten Great Clans, and some of the participating cultivators who are qualified to advance to the Ten Great Clans, will all come down voluntarily after winning a certain number of matches in a row, to leave some points for others. The real competition for first place in the Xuan Dan realm begins after only the last dozen or so people are left. The last one standing on the stage with no one to challenge is the first place winner. Although in most cases, the first place winner is the one with the highest score, this is not absolute.” Elder Pei explained.
No wonder Liang Kexin had said before that first place and that the score had to reach a certain number before there was any reward. Ning Cheng still didn’t understand and asked, “If that’s the case, why did they still set a reward for netting fifty victories, or eighty victories?”
Rui Baishan shook his head and said, “How can such a precious thing as the Raw Material Shoot Marrow be casually given out as a reward? That’s just a bluff. Don’t take it seriously, not to mention that no cultivator can win eighty matches, even if you can win, you will be interrupted in the end for various reasons. Winning fifty games, though, has happened.”
Ning Cheng was defeated by this kind of hypocrisy, he was still excitedly preparing to win a bottle of Sheng Yuan Shoot Marrow, but he did not expect such a pot of cold water.
Elder Bei patted Ning Cheng’s shoulder and said with a smile, “This is normal, after your back-to-back victories on the stage, the other nine great sects rarely send their top experts up, this is a tacit agreement. Otherwise, it would be a firefight between the experts of the major sects at the beginning, and there would be nothing exciting afterwards. This tacit understanding has been formed in the current clan competition, a tacit agreement that everyone agrees on, so the patriarch said it was good that you came down in time. As for competing for first place, it’s only in the last dozen or so that the fight goes all out.”
“When Leng Yu of the Heavenly Dao Sect came on, he just wasn’t happy with you. It’s good that you came down in time to save everyone’s face. Even if you want to fight Leng Yu, you shouldn’t be too busy for a moment and wait until all the several clans have gotten a certain number of points before you compete.” Tantai Fei also said with a smile.
Ning Cheng had gotten fourteen points for the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect, and was already one of the great meritocrats, even all of the Elders of the Harmonized Cauldron here were all pleasant to Ning Cheng.
On the stage, Leng Yu had already won two matches in a row, and was obviously about to win the third match. Ning Cheng suddenly felt a little disillusioned, even for such a big match, he had made a vain Sheng Yuan Shoot Marrow out of it, causing him to be happy for nothing.
Ning Cheng once again returned to the stage and said somewhat lazily when he saw the match on the stage, “This lukewarm match is really uninspiring.”
“Warm boiling water? You will see what it means to fight to the death in the competition for the last ten places later on. The cultivators on the stage are all immortal, and at this time it’s just about qualifying for the final duel.” Liang Kexin, who was standing beside Ning Cheng, explained.
Ning Cheng had just listened to the words of several bigwigs of the sect and immediately said, “In fact, it’s hard for anyone to get fifty points, thanks to which I was thinking about the Raw Elemental Shoot Marrow.”
“Fifty points is very difficult for someone to get, but thirty points has been obtained more than once.” Liang Kexin explained, before Ning Cheng came on stage too quickly, she hadn’t had time to explain.
When Ning Cheng saw that Leng Yu had indeed won seven matches in a row, he stepped out of the ring with an expressionless face.
After Leng Yu stepped down from the stage, another gold-shirted cultivator flew onto the stage, “Jin Lin of the Red Star Sword Sect, to ask for your advice.”
The b*stard from the Red Star Sword Sect? Ning Cheng did not hesitate to fly up and land on top of the tournament stage once again. Liang Kexin could not even scream in time.
Although many people knew about the tacit agreement between the sects, over 90% of the cultivators on the stage would not care about this, what they cared about was the excitement of the match. Now that Ning Cheng was on the stage again, it immediately drew a burst of enthusiasm.
“Why is Ning Cheng up there again?” It was Elder Bei and the others who had just spoken to Ning Cheng who were a little puzzled, Ning Cheng had a conflict with the Red Star Sword Sect and it was not the right time to go up there.
“Hmph, this kid really thinks he’s number one in the world.” Some of the XuanDan realm cultivators who were ranked ahead of them were already uncomfortable in their hearts. They hadn’t even had a match yet, and this guy was on stage again, should they still give points to others?
Even some of the judging elders had frowned. The Heavenly Continent Clan Competition was actually mainly for the purpose of selecting the top ten clans. And these rules have been precipitated over countless years and are generally known to all sects. There was something to see in the rules of this kind of competition, and there was also something to look forward to. The anticipation of who will actually have the most wins in the end and who will be number one in the end.
But now they have met a guy who doesn’t play by the rules. It was nowhere near the stage of seeing who was the best at the end, and this Ning Cheng had fouled up. The problem was that knowing that Ning Cheng had fouled, there was still no reason to come out and call people off.
Ning Cheng did not know that he had aroused the wrath of the crowd, but he knew that he had violated the unspoken rules. Even if this was the case, Ning Cheng was not the least bit afraid. Anyway, after the competition, he was going to go far away, so what did he care about the southeast and northwest? No matter what the result of the competition was, as long as he got the prize and left, everything else had nothing to do with him.
