But the current scene, which could only be seen during the Imperial Family, Sword Management Sect, and Profound Sky Sect's Large Competition, had appeared in front of him in advance. Even Murong Xiao, as the Sect Master, was speechless.
Murong Xiao tidied up his appearance before solemnly announcing, "Let me announce the final rules of the ranking tournament. The thirteen people will directly enter the finals with empty lots. "The other twelve will fight in twos and threes. The victor will advance to the final. Of course, the loser will have a chance and choose three of the six losers to advance to the finals."
"After that, the six victors will compete. The empty competitors will fight with the three new contestants in twos and threes. The winners of the two teams will be placed in the top five, and the losers will be placed in the bottom five, and the order of the top ten will be set. Of course, if there is anyone who is unsatisfied with the result, they can also challenge their corresponding opponents. "
"The top ten will receive privileges that is not available to ordinary core disciples. There is no need for me to mention the rewards for them!" The higher one's ranking, the more resources one would have for cultivation. Therefore, everyone should work hard! "
"Next, I shall announce the disciples of the various groups to take their positions and begin the competition."
"I am Huang Ren, and have heard of Brother Yang's great name. I know that my cultivation is shallow, so I would like to seek Brother Yang's guidance." This time around, Yang Fan's opponent was extremely courteous and didn't seem to be that reckless. It seemed that he had already understood Yang Fan's situation, and wasn't someone who was in a rush to gain victory.
Yang Fan lightly smiled. Naturally, he would not use his blade against Yang Fan, who did not have any ill intentions towards him.
"I'm going up." Huang Ren bellowed as he brandished his sword and slashed at Yang Fan.
"Since you are here for advice, let me exchange a few moves with you." Yang Fan retracted his hand and a long sword appeared in his hand. Facing Huang Ren's attack, he raised the sword to block horizontally.
Light swirled around the sword. When the two came into contact, sparks flew in all directions.
The two of them had already exchanged several blows in a short period of time. Yang Fan also felt that this kind of battle was the most meaningful one.
Earlier, Huang Ren knew he was no match for Yang Fan, but he still wanted to fight him. His swordsmanship had already reached a bottleneck, and Huang Ren wanted to gain some insights from it. Thus, regardless of the result, he would work hard to achieve it. Moreover, he felt that the other party had not put in the effort and this was a rare opportunity. Therefore, Huang Ren would not give up.
"Flowing Cloud Sea!"
Huang Ren let out a loud shout as he circulated all the spiritual power in his body and jumped three to four meters into the air. With a wave of his sword, a blue wave surged towards Yang Fan.
"Good timing." Yang Fan liked this kind of battle very much.
"Feather Sacrifice, open."
With a loud shout from Yang Fan, a wave of power surged towards the incoming wave. The blade of the sword was sharp and carried a supreme momentum as it chopped off Huang Ren's attack.
However, Huang Ren's fighting spirit seemed to have grown stronger. He took the advantage and swiftly slashed his sword towards the incoming attack. The previous attack had lasted less than a few breaths, and it could be said to be a continuous one.
"Bang!"
The two swords clashed, producing a huge wave of heat. Under the pressure, Huang Ren's face turned red.
On the other hand, Yang Fan appeared to be in a very relaxed state. After which, he grinned, and his lips started moving.
"Absolute Feather Return!"
"Not good." Huang Ren's pupils constricted as he hurriedly retreated.
The golden-colored feathers that were sizing him up came out of the sword blade and shot towards him. Fortunately, Yang Fan was able to control his strength and didn't circulate too much spiritual energy. Thus, Huang Ren was able to safely pass through.
"Thank you for being lenient, Brother Yang. Huang Ren will admit defeat." Huang Ren bowed slightly, revealing a grateful expression.
"Senior Yang's sword techniques are unique, and his use of spiritual energy is also more nimble than mine. This battle has benefited me greatly, thank you for your guidance."
"We're all fellow disciples of the same sect, there's no need to act like this." Yang Fan didn't like these pleasantries, so he just waved his hand and left the stage.
"No matter what, Huang Ren will never forget Senior Yang's advice. If anything happens to Senior Yang in the future, little brother will do his best." Huang Ren bowed as he saw Yang Fan's back disappearing into the distance.
"I never thought that this Yang Fan would actually be so powerful that even Huang Ren would be willing to admit defeat." All of the disciples outside the arena were attracted by this marvelous battle, and this time it didn't take just a few moves before it ended.
Although the duration of this battle wasn't long, it was clear that each technique had their own unique features. Although everyone was confused, it was enough for them to ponder over it for a long time.
"I think this Huang Ren is no different from the others? How could he have exchanged so many moves with Yang Fan? According to the previous matches, shouldn't just two moves be the end? "Even if it's useless, it shouldn't be …" Before he could finish his sentence, the person who spoke had already shut his mouth because there were a lot of people glaring at him. If he were to continue speaking, he would most likely incur the wrath of others.
These people were the chosen geniuses from the Qin City that had followed Huang Ren. Some people would say that Huang Ren was wrong, but of course, there would also be people who would seek injustice for him.
"Humph, what you want to talk about is the first two battles, Mang Yuan and Hong Yu, right? One was in a rush, while the other was arrogant. No one knew about this, so they could only blame them for being too arrogant. "How can you compare Huang Ren to it?"
"That's right. Huang Ren has always been a modest and amiable person, and he is famous in our Qin City. Even if he is a genius, he would still be willing to teach martial arts if someone asks him for advice."
It was hard to tell who was speaking earlier, but now that he was in the middle of the crowd, it was extremely awkward. He had just casually said that and didn't care too much about it. Now he had really lost a lot of face.
"Ai, have you guys seen the fight in the Vatican? It was so fast, and in just one move, he beat Wang Yi from the squire down to the ground and made him unable to get up." Naturally, no one in the crowd was paying attention to the battle going on in the arena. Many people were discussing among themselves, and among them was the mysterious Fan Gu.
"Indeed, that Brahma Valley truly has a peerless appearance!" "No ordinary person can match up to him. I see that no one on the field can outshine him. Whoever meets him will be out of luck." A disciple sighed.
poof * Immediately after he finished saying that, someone burst out laughing from the chicken leg that they just ate.
Of course, this caused one to be displeased. The person who spoke earlier had his eyes glowered at the corner of the destroyed atmosphere. It was actually a fatty. Judging from his clothes, he was most likely a descendant of a Venerable family. Although he wasn't someone who could be easily provoked, he still had some words to say.
"This Junior Brother doesn't seem to agree with me!" Do you disagree with me? " The youth's tone was stiff and cold, obviously wanting to embarrass him.
