Chapter 581: Cruelty: He Who Succeeds Becomes King, He Who Fails, a Bandit
Chu Chaoyun did not feel excited over defeating this giant, nor did he feel any unease over how he attacked.
In Chu Chaoyun’s eyes, all these great sects, unrivaled geniuses, and all sorts of glory were not worth mentioning.
Xiao Chen looked at Liu Xiaoyun lying on the stage. He did not have any thoughts on whether Chu Chaoyun was vicious or not. Chu Chaoyun only used the most suitable move for the situation.
Every time Liu Xiaoyun got knocked back, he would increase his strength by ten percent. If this kept up, no one would know when it would end.
Who knows, the next person in trouble could be Chu Chaoyun. And the victor of this match would be different.
Temporarily crippling Liu Xiaoyun’s limbs was the best solution, then. Furthermore, at that time, his opponent already formed an a.s.sumption. Each time, Chu Chaoyun had given his opponent a chance to get up, never attacking before his opponent stood up.
Thus, Liu Xiaoyun came to a.s.sume that his opponent would never attack while he was getting up—or perhaps that Chu Chaoyun did not have the ability to or the guts to engage in close combat.
Who knew, Chu Chaoyun not only had the ability to do so, he had the guts as well. With the right opportunity and the right method, everything was dealt with smoothly.
Because he was the same, the genius swordsman of the Sun Moon Sect glared at the extremely dissatisfied Liu Xiaoyun. He could not help but sigh in his heart, reminding himself, I have to remember this lesson. I cannot drop my guard at any moment or look down on the newcomers.
Li Daoxuan, the scion of the eight n.o.ble Clans’ Li Clan, which was famous for spears, smiled coldly and said, “If he had used his full power earlier, he would not be in such state. Liu Xiaoyun thinks too highly of himself.”
Bai Qi, who was not far away, felt the same. In the end, Liu Xiaoyun had lost sight of his priorities. He could not even deal with the match before him, yet he wanted to preserve his strength to deal with Xuanyuan Zhantian.
Sima Lingxuan, who was in the seeded partic.i.p.ant’s spectator stand, could not even be bothered to give Liu Xiaoyun a glance. He coldly spat out, “Tras.h.!.+”
After the referee announced the result of the match, someone from the Drifting Snow Sword Sect came over to carry Liu Xiaoyun away.
The Misty Sword Sect’s Sect Master watched with a smile on his face as Chu Chaoyun slowly walked over. Then, he glanced at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s Jiang Chi.
The Misty Sword Sect’s elders were very happy as well. Chu Chaoyun defeated the previously ranked tenth Liu Xiaoyun. That meant that the Misty Sword Sect had a chance of getting into the top ten.
“How powerful! Unexpectedly, the insignificant Great Qin Nation managed to produce two dark horses. First, Xiao Chen defeated Gong Yangyu. Then, Chu Chaoyun defeated Liu Xiaoyun. This is too much of a coincidence.”
“That Liu Xiaoyun is quite pitiful. He carried n.o.ble aspirations, wanting to challenge Xuanyuan Zhantian. Who knew that before they got to fight, he would be defeated?”
“The most important thing is that he was defeated so miserably. His prestige is gone. He could not even stand up anymore. He was beaten up like a dead dog.”
“The newcomers of this Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion are too strong. Indeed, the age of geniuses is here. First, we have Xuanyuan Zhantian, who dares to challenge Sima Lingxuan. Then, we have Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun. Finally, after them are people like Lin Fei.”
After all, this was just a compet.i.tion. The victor was king. Chu Chaoyun won in a straightforward and upright manner; no one would vilify him. They only sighed that the newcomers of the younger generation were growing too fast.
In this grand age, if a veteran was not careful, they might lose their prestige and become a stepping stone for the newcomers, allowing the newcomer to rocket to fame.
The strong came out in large numbers, like the stars flickering in the sky. When they competed for the peak, if it was not cruel or intense, it would not be the age of geniuses.
The compet.i.tion continued. The remaining scions of the eight n.o.ble Clans aside from Sima Lingxuan all fought their matches. This allowed the crowd to see the graceful bearing of a Martial Emperor’s descendants.
The Li Clan scion was famous for spears. His spear moved like a flood dragon bursting out of the sea. When he moved his spear, it sounded like the roar of a berserk dragon. Just his vast state of water made everyone feel his potential was limitless.
w.a.n.g Quan, the scion of the w.a.n.g Clan, used a black whip. The whip was very unpredictable; it was changeable and could vary between soft and hard. It even managed to leave deep marks on the Wind Cloud Arena.
There was also Beiming Shang of the Beiming Clan. He used an unrivaled Palm Technique. Even the Evil Moon Pavilion’s Bai Zhan could not last more than five moves against him.
When these people stepped into the dueling ring, they were invincible. In this second round of elimination, they did not meet any opponents that could defeat them. The strength that they displayed somewhat suppressed the fame of Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun, the newcomers.
However, the most eye-catching one was the Bai Clan’s Bai Qi. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the exquisite Saber Techniques he demonstrated reached perfection.
Bai Qi was the first runner-up in the previous Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion. The crowd could clearly feel that he was stronger than the other n.o.ble Clan scions.
The only regret of the crowd was that no one was able to force Bai Qi to use the Four Season Saber Technique that they wanted to see.
In a way, this also proved Bai Qi’s strength. Without using the Four Season Saber Technique, he was already so strong. If he used the Four Season Saber Technique, how much stronger would he be?
Many experts stepped up and showed everyone spectacular fights and wonderful Martial Techniques. This was an eye-opener for many cultivators.
However, there was someone who took unconventional action. He spread his fame with his extremely ridiculous behavior. Furthermore, he won all the matches he was in. He received even more attention than some of the n.o.ble Clan scions.
Naturally, that person was Jin Dabao. From the very start, he had relied on that coffin lid and his shameless moves. Unexpectedly, he maintained his winning streak despite being a peak Superior Grade Martial King.
Jin Babao became the irregularity of this Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion, confounding everyone.
