Chapter 453: The Legend of a Hundred Consecutive Victories

The explosion looked like a hundred flowers blossoming and rippling through the air. The air fluctuated, causing the crowd to not be able to see the core clearly.

They looked nervously at this scene. They knew that this was the decisive move of this fight. They really wanted to know who won as soon as they could.

“Someone is coming out!”

Everyone instantly looked over. They only saw a middle-aged man holding a sword slowly float down from the sky.

It was Zhong Zis.h.i.+. Everybody’s chest tightened. Could Xiao Chen have been defeated?

“Pu chi!”

After Zhong Zis.h.i.+ landed, he knelt down and spat out some blood. He stuck his sword into the ground and did his best to not keel over.

The crowd released their held breaths in relief and looked up again. After all the energy fluctuation faded away, they saw Xiao Chen floating in the air with an indifferent expression on his face.

Xiao Chen had a calm gaze and only had a faint sword wound on his left arm. That was the only place where some blood was oozing out. Clearly, he was only lightly injured.

“Pu chi! I admit defeat…”

Zhong Zis.h.i.+, who was on the ground, spat out another mouthful of blood. He could no longer hold on and quietly left the scene.

Xiao Chen slowly landed. He ignored the chatter around him. His Spiritual Sense turned into an ancient bell and eliminated the interference of the Heavenly Tone War Drums.

He closed his eyes and rested, waiting quietly for his second challenger. The first opponent of the day had caused Xiao Chen to be at a great disadvantage.

In that decisive clash in the air earlier, the crowd did not see how dangerous the situation had been; they only saw the surging energy fluctuations.

However, if Xiao Chen had not activated the secret technique in the Blood Flame Shoes, he would not have been able to get away with just a light injury. He might have even lost his entire arm.

No, I cannot let the following matches drag out for so long. Before I gain a hundred Consecutive Victories, Gao Yangyu will definitely do something again.

Since he dared to issue the all-or-nothing system, he must have some confidence in winning.

I have to reserve enough strength to deal with the final match, and not allow myself to exhaust too much of my Essence and Vital Qi.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at his second challenger. His previously sharp eyes turned even sharper.

Xiao Chen made a decision. He planned on finis.h.i.+ng all the following sixteen matches within fifty moves by merging his Essence and Vital Qi. It would not matter if he had to use even the Dragon Qi in his arm.

It would be fine as long as he did not expose his status as a bladesman. He had to ensure that he had sufficient Essence, Vital Qi, and spirit for the final and most difficult battle.

“Fight!”

The Heavenly Tone War Drums resounded again, and for the first time, Xiao Chen made the first move. After his Firmament Body Tempering Art’s fourth layer reached Great Perfection, his pure physical strength had already reached 350,000 kilograms of force.

When Xiao Chen’s Essence and Vital Qi merged together, he could reach a horrifying 400,000 kilograms of force. When he punched, a strong wind howled and a tiger and a dragon roared.

Xiao Chen fought the following matches in a similar manner. Aside from revealing his status as a bladesman, he revealed most of his strength.

He managed to keep every match under fifty moves. If he managed to discover any of his opponent’s weak points, he would finish them within twenty moves.

By the time Xiao Chen’s seventeenth match of the day ended, the sky became dark. It was not because each match took very long to finish. Instead, after each match finished, he had to wait for a long time before someone made up their mind to challenge him. As the matches advanced, the wait became longer. As a result, it took at least twice as long to complete the matches.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A surging pillar of flames flared up on top of each of the four tall towers around the wrestling ring, slightly lighting up the dark wrestling ring.

Beside the flame pillars, the drummers were beating the Heavenly Tone War Drums rhythmically. From the start to the end, the drumming never stopped.

Unexpectedly, after the 99th victory, the crowd in the spectator stands did not say anything. They became extremely silent.

There were great waves in their hearts. No one expected that the cultivator who had always been in such a sorry state that no one looked well upon him would be able to come this far and obtain 99 consecutive victories.

All Xiao Chen had to do was to win another match before he could establish a new record. Everyone tacitly stopped speaking.

They could not bear to make any sound, afraid to disturb the white robed youth, who looked to be under twenty.

Amidst the deathly silence, a nimble figure slowly floated down under the glow of the flames.

This person wore tight-fitting, black leather armor. Her milky-white skin and her devilish figure were very seductive.

However, when people looked up to see her face, they discovered that she was wearing a half-mask, that was covering the bottom half of her face.

“s.h.i.+ Feng!”

The melodious voice only said these two words. However, these words caused the spectator stands to erupt out into waves of cheers.

“She is the person who matched the record of sixty consecutive victories in the previous round, s.h.i.+ Feng! Why is she here?!”

“I remember that three years ago, after she won her sixtieth consecutive victory, she backed out mysteriously. Otherwise, the record for consecutive victories would have been broken by her.”

No wonder Gao Yangyu dared to issue the all-or-nothing system. Three years ago, s.h.i.+ Feng could have gotten a hundred consecutive victories. Now, after three years, her strength would have definitely improved substantially.”

“Interesting. A person who has obtained sixty consecutive victories in the previous round is fighting against the current round’s record setter, Xiao Chen. This is truly a peak battle.”

Each of the faces in the somewhat dark spectator stands brimmed with excitement.

Three years ago, s.h.i.+ Feng’s performance had been spectacular; it had left a deep impression on the crowd. Many people thought that she would break the record of sixty consecutive victories.

Who knew that after s.h.i.+ Feng obtained her sixtieth consecutive victory, she mysteriously disappeared, until today.

Unexpectedly, s.h.i.+ Feng now appeared as a challenger, trying to obstruct Xiao Chen from gaining one hundred consecutive victories. The final battle was now filled with suspense—it was unclear who would win.
