C305 heavenly pillar (2/2)
”It's been a long time since I've met an opponent in the outer sect. I wonder if you can let me go all out?” Xiahou Wu said in his heart.
The third round of the competition ended in complete astonishment.
When the third round of the competition ended, everyone's eyes were filled with envy. A disciple who could make it to the fourth round would also be able to enter the top ten.
In order to enter the top ten of the outer sect, not only could they obtain a large amount of resources, they could also obtain unimaginable benefits. Many disciples' faces were full of envy.
As expected, Fang Chen easily entered the top ten outer door. Following that, everyone started to guess whether Fang Chen could actually enter the top five.
The results of the fourth round would be revealed.
The fourth round of the competition was about to begin. Tian Jian Zi had given the order for the ten disciples who had entered the fourth round to take a break.
Fang Chen nodded and sat cross-legged in the resting area, ready to recover the spiritual energy in his body.
Right at this moment, a burly man walked to the front of Fang Chen, and looked at him with resentment.
”Fang Chen, you killed Liang Han.” The tall and sturdy man said coldly.
”So what?” Fang Chen looked up at the muscular man and asked.
”When killing someone, you must be prepared to be killed.” The burly man said with a sneer.
”So?” Fang Chen said.
”So, in the following matches, you'd better pray that you don't run into me, or else you won't live past today.” With that, the burly man turned around and left.
After the burly man left, a disciple beside Fang Chen said in a low voice: ”Fang Chen, you have to be careful, Zhu Yuan is a man who is ruthless and merciless, if he dares to say that, he will definitely kill you in the competition.”
Fang Chen nodded and did not say a word.
Zhu Yuan was previously ranked fifth among the outer sect disciples. Although he was only ranked fifth, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm and although he was also at the peak of the Seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, he was still incomparable to Xiahou Wu.
However, Zhu Yuan believed that he could kill Fang Chen.
The time it took to burn an incense stick passed quickly, and the rest was over.
In the third round of the competition, a total of ten disciples were eliminated. The remaining ten disciples entered the fourth round.
Those who were able to persevere to this point were all extremely powerful.
The fourth round of the competition had begun. Fang Chen's opponent was a disciple whose strength was slightly weaker. When he saw that Fang Chen was his opponent, his face was filled with helplessness.
In the end, under the gazes of everyone present, he directly admitted defeat.
As their opponent admitted defeat, Fang Chen easily entered the fifth place, causing many disciples to exclaim.
The five matches were quickly over. Among the disciples who had entered the top five, besides Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu, there was also the Zhu Yuan who had threatened Fang Chen before. The other two were the five disciples who had been in the outer court for the previous tournament.
After the fourth round ended, the next round would be the competition for the top three positions.
This round of the competition would not be held in the form of a battle. Heavenly Sword Zi had already decided on the process of the competition, and at that moment, he slowly stood up, looked at the five people, and said, ”The five of you can enter the top five amongst the numerous disciples. Very well, the following matches will be different from the previous matches.”
Many disciples listened to Heavenly Sword Zi's words.
”For this round of the competition, the five of you will separately climb the Divine Pillars of Heaven. In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the final ranking will be based on the height of each individual's position above the Divine Pillars of Heaven.” Tian Jian Zi said.
Instantly, countless disciples cried out in alarm.
The Tong Tian Divine Pillar had already been sealed in the Baimei Sword Sect for many years. He did not expect that it would once again appear in the mortal world for the sake of his five disciples.
The Heavenly God Pillar was originally just an ordinary stone pillar, but after a long time, the Heavenly God Pillar absorbed the sword intent of every generation of warriors in the Baimei Sword Sect.
Finally, after a long period of time, a boundless sword intent was contained within the divine pillar. Ordinary martial artists were simply unable to approach the surroundings of the divine pillar.
Only those extremely talented sword cultivators would be able to get close to the Skypiercing God Pillar. Wanting to climb to the Skypiercing God Pillar was even more unattainable.
This time, the reason why the Heavenly Sword Son released the Divine Pillar was because he wanted to see exactly how strong the potential of the way of the sword was for this year's outer sect disciple.
”The Heavenly Divine Pillar has actually been unsealed. Could it be that a Heavenly Sword Son will appear among the current batch of outer disciples?”
”In all the great competitions in the past, as long as a Heavenly God Pillar appears, a Heavenly Sword Son will definitely appear, and this time will not be an exception.”
”It's really exciting. I never thought that after so many years, a Heavenly Sword Son would actually appear.”
”Don't even think about it, the Heavenly Sword Son is a Xiahou Wu and no one can shake his position.”
When they found out that the Tong Tian Divine Pillar was going to be unsealed, all of the disciples went completely crazy, even Xiahou Wu and the rest were excited.
If one could climb the divine pillar and become number one in this year's tournament, they could become a Heavenly Sword Son.
The Heavenly Sword Son was a form of address given to peak disciples by the Baimei Sword Sect. To be able to become a Heavenly Sword Son, he would definitely become a sword cultivator that would shock the entire Ancient Sword Continent in the future.
In all of Baimei Sword Sect's previous generations of Heavenly Sword Son, other than the disciples who died in the middle, the other Heavenly Sword Son s all became powerful sword cultivators that shocked the entire Ancient Sword Continent.
This time, when the Heavenly God Pillar was unsealed, the Heavenly Sword Son would definitely appear within the group of five.
Becoming the Heavenly Sword Son would also mean that he would become the next Sect Master of Baimei Sword Sect!
”Heavenly Sword Son?”
