Chapter 442: Gao Yangyu’s Plo (2/2)
The effects of a Heaven Ranked Body Tempering Cultivation Technique was indeed extraordinary. Xiao Chen’s physical strength had already reached a high level. Even an increase in five thousand kilograms of force was incredibly difficult. Back then, Bai Lixi remained stuck at this stage for decades.
Xiao Chen was extremely fortunate to be able to obtain a Heaven Ranked Body Tempering Cultivation Technique immediately after he reached his bottleneck.
The sky was already bright, so Xiao Chen left the room and headed towards the wrestling ring.
The moment Xiao Chen entered the spectator stands, the grey robed old man came to look for Xiao Chen and said, “Xiao Chen, pass me your iron medallion. I am changing it to number 125.”
Number 125…that was the last number for the matches. Xiao Chen did not ask any questions and handed over the iron medallion.
The grey-robed old man watched Xiao Chen accept the number change with a calm face before leaving immediately. He felt pressured by Xiao Chen who did not bother speaking any nonsense.
This fellow is so calm, that it is somewhat frightening.
To Xiao Chen, there was no difference in being the fifteenth to fight or the one hundred and twenty fifth.
He did not care if there were any plots against him or not. In this wrestling ring, the other party was making the rules, so Xiao Chen had no say in this matter.
He just went to his usual corner, avoiding the gazes of the crowd. Like before, he sat cross-legged and did his best to cultivate the Firmament Body Tempering Art’s fourth layer.
“This fellow is putting in last minute work again. How stupid!”
The others looked coldly at Xiao Chen’s actions, taunted him for a while before finally ignoring him completely.
Xiao Chen had already proven to himself that comprehending the Firmament Body Tempering Art’s fourth layer in the midst of battle was of great assistance, so he did not need to care about the gazes of people around him.
The matches began again. The fights of this day became even more intense than those of the previous two days. When the first ten-odd people appeared, most of them could not obtain any victories for more than half of their matches.
Even Yun Ping could only obtain nine victories. This was not very surprising, after all, they had fought many consecutive battles already.
The people in the spectator stands were already familiar with the characteristics of their Martial Techniques and habits. Furthermore, they did not have the habit of analysing each of their own battles like Xiao Chen did.
It was expected for the third day’s matches to be more arduous and for them to be defeated.
“Strange, several contestants already came up, why has that Xiao Chen not appeared yet?”
“Why do you care? Maybe his number was changed. You didn’t bet on him anyway. Look, Ding Fengchou is coming up.”
“That’s true, I betted five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones on Ding Fengchou. I betted that he would be able to achieve fifty consecutive victories.”
“Ha ha! You are too gutless. I betted ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones on him achieving sixty consecutive victories. The payout is triple of yours.”
Some people in the spectator stands felt that it was strange that Xiao Chen had not appeared yet. However, this matter did not arouse too much attention.
As the favored contestant, Ding Fengchou, appeared, all doubts about Xiao Chen instantly vanished.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
Drummings resounded when Ding Fengchou entered the wrestling ring, as though they had sensed the atmosphere in the crowd suddenly erupt.
In his previous 28 matches, Ding Fengchou would defeat his opponent within fifty moves. He had used his Heavenly Gate Resistance Fencing to kill from a thousand meters away.
Ding Fengchou had obtained his victories easily and did not receive any injuries. He was extremely popular and he was the one most people betted on.
“I am Ding Fengchou of the Great Chu Nation’s Heavenly Sword Gate. Please grant me your guidance!”
Ding Fengchou, who was dressed in white robes and had a sword hanging at his waist, cupped his hands and faced the crowd. His demeanor seemed extraordinary.
After Ding Fengchou spoke, someone immediately came down to challenge him. Now that Ding Fengchou had obtained 28 consecutive victories, the reward for defeating him would be able to move some of the experts.
“I am Bai Yunfeng, pardon me for this offense!”
The person who challenged Ding Fengchou was also a swordsman. He made the first move and quickly rushed at Ding Fengchou.
He knew it would be impossible to defeat Ding Fengchou if he kept his distance given Ding Fenchou’s Heavenly Gate Resistance Fencing. Thus, his only chance would be to close the distance between them.
Ding Fengchou kicked off the ground. Contrary to Bai Yunfeng’s expectations, he rushed at Bai Yunfeng as well. He sent out a surging sword intent, and his sword light appeared before he even drew his sword.
“Xiu!”
Ding Fengchou used his fingers as a sword and pointed it at the ground. Then, eighteen strands of sword Qi appeared behind him.
“Weng! Weng!”
The strands of sword Qi buzzed in the air, as if they were real weapons. They carried a shart state of massacre and created eighteen gusts of strong winds. Howling, they dashed towards Bai Yunfeng.
“Ding Dang! Ding Dang!”
Bai Yunfeng’s face fell, and he quickly moved back. His weapon clashed with the sword Qi, giving off metallic sounds and countless sparks.
“Using Qi as Swords!”
Some of the sword experts from the spectator stands could not help but exclaim.
Using Qi as Swords was an exquisite technique of the Heavenly Gate Resistance Fencing. It turned Qi into sharp swords for one to use as they pleased.
It had no requirements on cultivation realm or talent. Instead, it had required extremely high comprehension ability.
Rumor stated that after it reaching Great Perfection, a Sword Sage could materialize tens of thousands of Qi swords out of nowhere. On top of that, the Qi swords would be very solid and would contain the will or state of the cultivator.
