Following the voice, Victor frowned. He did not know who the challenger was.
“You, what’s your rank?”
“23rd!”
“I refuse, it’s meaningless.”
Victor sneered and sat on the spot.
“You refuse? Victor, you have to think carefully. This is the Prodigy Tournament. If you don’t accept the challenge and word gets out, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
“Laugh at me for what? Laugh at me for being afraid of battle? Or laugh at you for not knowing your limits?”
Victor laughed coldly and pressed down on the hilt of his sword with one hand. He continued, “If Old Man Guan Xing is willing to change the rules, perhaps I will accept your challenge. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to kill. It’s boring.”
“Brother Wang, why are you wasting your breath? This person is afraid. He is afraid of you. So what if you spare his life?”
“That’s right, that’s right. I’ve never heard of anyone rejecting a challenge in the Prodigy Tournament. Tsk, tsk, tsk. He probably didn’t earn his 20th ranking through proper means.”
For a moment, the crowd was excited. Other than a few people who did not speak, everyone was mocking Victor.
Regarding this, Victor chose to remain silent.
There was no point in wasting his breath on them. Just as he said, accepting it was a small matter. What if he killed him with just one sword strike?
“Qingxin, are you sure that this Victor can injure a nascent soul realm with one sword attack?”
After what happened just now, Luo Changxi’s favorable impression on Victor had already fallen to the bottom. If not for the sake of Senior Jian Haomiao, she would have long chased him away!
“I saw it with my own eyes. It’s not hearsay, so how can I not be sure?”
“But, this kind of person doesn’t look like a strong person. He’s petty and has no respect for his elders.”
“Tsk, Changxi, you too? Isn’t Victor right? Why can Bai Tianjiao remain still while we bow to Senior Guan Xing? In the end, aren’t you all looking down on Victor’s ranking? Since I’m the 21st on the list, are you looking down on me too?”
“How… How can that be?” Luo Changxi blushed, not knowing how to respond.
“Then what do you mean by this attitude? If Bai Tianjiao did it, why can’t the others do it? Although I don’t like Victor, you guys are going too far.”
Yan Qingxin was very clear about the rights and wrongs. Victor’s favorable impression of her rose sharply.
Gradually, Victor’s farce came to an end, and the Prodigy Tournament officially began.
In the beginning, it was the battles for cultivators ranked 20th and above. To be honest, there was not much to enjoy. Both sides’ strengths were similar, and even the wind envoys were not too interested.
Although they were the most stunning group of people in all five plains, after all, in the face of pearls and jade, they were not as presentable.
However, soon, the first climax arrived.
Feng Yangyan cupped his hands at Victor and then walked up to the arena.
“I have made some gains recently. I wonder if Brother Feng can enlighten me?”
As the ninth place on the Men’s List, Feng Yangyan was very strong. It was just that the Peerless Academy’s killing techniques were weak, so his ranking was a little low.
However, if he fought with his full strength, Feng Yangyan’s strength could at least be placed in the top seven!
Although it was just a difference of two rankings, it was a huge difference!
The third and first place also differed by two rankings, but their values were incomparable.
“Then I have offended you.”
Fan Caiying thought for a moment, nodded, and walked onto the arena.
As a disciple of Roaring Tiger Palace, Fan Caiying’s strength could not be underestimated. His saber technique was sharp, outstanding, and his saber intent was also powerful!
The two of them came to the arena together. After cupping their fists and saluting, they set off the first climax of the Prodigy Tournament!
“An Army with Thousands of Soldiers and Horses!”
As soon as the match began, Feng Yangyan used a thunderous method. With a wave of his brush, thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out from the scroll and charged toward Fan Caiying!
Feng Yangyan had used this method when he was in the Xiao family.
However, when he was in the Xiao family, he had to prevent humiliating Xiao Chenggan. Therefore, Feng Yangyan did not use his full strength. However, today was different. He did not need to hold back in his battle with Fan Caiying!
“Tiger Roar Blade Technique!”
Seeing this scene, Fan Caiying did not dare to hold back either. He dragged his zhanmadao and used the Tiger Roar Palace’s sect-guarding blade technique!
Fan Caiying used his zhanmadao to tear apart the incoming army. Then, as if he had entered his own realm, he started to kill the thousands of soldiers!
Before long, the entire army was torn apart by Fan Caiying!
However, when he saw this scene, Feng Yangyan only smiled, showing no signs of worry.
“Fan Caiying’s blade technique has become even more powerful. However, it’s a good thing that I’ve also made some progress.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred on the stage!
While Fan Caiying was fighting against the thousands of soldiers and horses, Feng Yangyan had already set up three large formations!
“Brother Fan, this first formation is called the Heavy Origin Formation. In this formation, one’s physical strength and spirit energy exertion will be doubled. This second formation is called the Spirit Unlocking Formation. In this formation, Brother Fan’s spirit energy will be continuously absorbed. This third formation is called the Origin Transforming Formation. This formation will absorb spirit energy and convert it to fuel the first and second formations.”
Feng Yangyan patiently explained the formations to Fan Caiying. They were indeed very exquisite.
Individually, any one of these three formations might not even be worth mentioning. However, these three formations were interwoven together. Even if Victor wanted to break them, it would require a certain amount of effort from him.
Therefore, it was only natural that Fan Caiying was trapped.
He felt his body becoming increasingly heavy, and the spiritual energy in his body flowed out like water. He was afraid that it would not be long before he would be defeated due to exhaustion!
However! After all, he was ranked sixth on the Men’s List. If he lost this easily, there would be no value to his ranking!
“Brother Feng’s formation is getting more and more exquisite. Fortunately, my saber intent has also made a breakthrough recently.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Caiying took a step forward, and his saber intent soared into the sky!
On the arena, gusts of strong wind were stirred up. Fan Caiying held his Zhanmadao with both hands, combined his vitality into one, and then suddenly smashed down!
Using brute force to break the formation!
A loud sound spread out, and the third formation was destroyed. Without the support of spiritual power, the first and second formations could not be sustained and proceeded to dissolve.
However…
“It’s not over yet!”
Feng Yangyan tore off a piece of paper and burned it with his qi. Instantly, Feng Yangyan’s qi and blood power kept rising, almost approaching Victor’s level!
“Fortunately, before our match, I asked Brother Victor to engrave his qi and blood power on this talisman.”
That was right, just now, Fengyang Yan gave the ivory brush to Victor and pretended to ask for a poem. In truth, he was asking Victor to help him!
Sure enough, having reached Victor’s level of qi and blood power in such a short time, Fengyang Yan ruthlessly suppressed Fan Caiying!
The ivory pen in Feng Yangyan’s hand was no longer a literary instrument. Instead, it became a powerful long spear that greatly suppressed Fan Caiying!
Every move and technique required Fan Caiying’s full strength to withstand. Even so, that strange force still violently shook Fan Caiying’s blood and qi!
