"Without the use of magic weapons, Chen Xuan would indeed be able to enter the top three."
At this time, Chen Xuan defeated another popular player with medium spiritual roots. Even if some disciples did not want to admit Chen Xuan's strength, they had to admit it.
Chen Xuan's physical body is very strong. In this freshman competition, it is forbidden to use magic talismans and other foreign objects. It is indeed not an easy task to break Chen Xuan's defense of the Yellow Turban Rikishi Technique.
If you can't break the defense, you'll basically lose once you're trapped by the sword formation.
At present, it seems that Chen Xuan and Xiang Changkong, the genius with dual spiritual roots of metal and wind attributes, are expected to win the top three places. Lei Hu, who has the thunder attribute spiritual roots, is also expected to win the top three places.
But Lei Hu lost to Chen Xuan once, which made his voice less popular.
Next, it’s thirty to fifteen.
Chen Xuan's opponent is Du Qin, a disciple with medium spiritual roots of earth attribute.
This Du Qin also practiced body training techniques, coupled with the hardening of earth attribute defensive spells, his whole body was hardened like a solid stone, and his physical body was able to withstand advanced attack spells.
Du Qin also knew that once Chen Xuan was allowed to use the Xiao Geng Golden Sword Formation, he would definitely lose, so he fought hand to hand with Chen Xuan from the very beginning, denying Chen Xuan any space to cast the spell.
Since Chen Xuan's spellcasting cannot be interrupted by using spells, he can only engage in close combat.
Chen Xuan is naturally not afraid.
In addition to practicing the Yellow Turban Warrior Technique, he also practiced the Golden Body Kung Fu, both of which reached the peak level of the Qi Refining Realm. With the addition of metallic defensive spells, his physical strength has reached a higher level.
With the support of the two major skills and the metallic defense spell, Chen Xuan is superior to Du Qin in terms of strength, defense, speed and endurance.
However, Du Qin still persisted for five or six minutes before losing.
Chen Xuan successfully advanced to the top fifteen.
Next, it’s time to advance from fifteen to eight.
Fifteen people draw lots, and one person gets a bye to advance to the quarter-finals. The remaining fourteen people compete in pairs. The winning seven people advance to the quarter-finals. The losing seven people compete for the other two places in the top ten and cannot participate in the finals.
This time, the opponent Chen Xuan met was a disciple with a medium spiritual root of water attribute, and he was also a beautiful girl in blue shirt named Yang Xiaoqian.
Yang Xiaoqian made a hand gesture, and a blue bubble emerged from between her eyebrows, and immediately flew towards Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan transformed into a giant more than three meters tall and punched out, trying to explode the blue bubble. However, his fist went directly through the blue bubble, and the scene of exploding as he imagined did not occur.
The blue bubble passed through his fist and sank directly into his eyebrows.
For a moment, Chen Xuan only felt that the scene around him changed. He was surrounded by endless water, and his body was sinking continuously. His body seemed to be as heavy as lead and he could not move.
As his body continued to sink, the terrifying water pressure made him breathless, and the surrounding light also disappeared. There was darkness below, as if he was about to sink into the deep sea and never see the light of day.
His consciousness also became more and more drowsy.
"This is...an illusion!"
Seeing this, Chen Xuan knew that he was under an illusion.
He had also seen Yang Xiaoqian's competition before. When dealing with ordinary disciples, Yang Xiaoqian only used water spells to defeat them. However, against a popular player with medium spiritual roots, he had to use his trump card.
Yang Xiaoqian's trump card is illusion. She has practiced techniques to strengthen her spiritual consciousness, making her spiritual consciousness far superior to ordinary Qi Refining Realm disciples. Therefore, even the popular contestants have fallen under her illusion, giving up resistance and letting themselves be slaughtered.
"The Great Sun Forging God Technique!"
Chen Xuan immediately visualized the Great Sun and the Golden Crow.
In the past six months, in addition to practicing the Yellow Turban Hercules Technique and the Five-turn Heavy Yuan Kung Fu, he has also continued to practice the Great Sun Spirit Training Technique. His spiritual consciousness has become more than three times that of an ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining monk.
In terms of the strength of his spiritual consciousness, it is comparable to that of a monk who has just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Immediately, a Great Sun and Golden Crow appeared in Chen Xuan's mind.
The Great Sun and the Golden Crow spread their wings, blooming with endless brilliance, dispersing the darkness, and the surrounding seawater also receded.
The scene around Chen Xuan returned to normal, and he was still in the ring.
"puff!"
The illusion was broken, Yang Xiaoqian immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and turned pale.
The illusion she used was based on spiritual consciousness and supplemented by magic power. Now that the illusion was broken, her spiritual consciousness also suffered a strong impact and was severely damaged.
If the consciousness is injured, it cannot be recovered in a short while.
Yang Xiaoqian is no longer in the top ten.
"Chen Xuansheng!"
The referee announced the result immediately.
"What, Yang Xiaoqian also lost."
"Chen Xuan actually broke through Yang Xiaoqian's illusion so easily. It seems that his spiritual consciousness is also extremely powerful."
"Chen Xuan is just a mortal, with his physical body, magical power, and spiritual consciousness. How can he find the time to cultivate all three of them beyond the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
"If Chen Xuan had inferior spiritual roots, he would be able to successfully build the foundation even without the foundation-building pill."
"There are no ifs in this world. If Chen Xuan doesn't have spiritual roots, he doesn't have spiritual roots."
"..."
Chen Xuan defeated Yang Xiaoqian, and all the disciples were shocked and felt pity at the same time.
With the physical mana and spiritual consciousness displayed by Chen Xuan, he has already reached the standard for breaking into the foundation building realm. If it were another monk with spiritual roots, there is a high probability that he would be able to succeed in building the foundation even without the assistance of the foundation building pill.
But Chen Xuan is a mortal without spiritual roots. It is ten times more difficult to build a foundation. His physical mana and spiritual consciousness must be increased at least several times before he can withstand the baptism of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and successfully build a foundation.
However, if Chen Xuan can win the top three and obtain a high-grade foundation-building pill, his physical body, mana, and consciousness will be upgraded to a higher level, and with the assistance of a high-grade foundation-building pill, he may be able to succeed in foundation-building.
Defeating Yang Xiaoqian, Chen Xuan entered the top eight.
At this point, no one can stop Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan also successfully defeated his opponents in the semi-finals of the eighth and fourth place. Among them, Lei Hu, who was defeated by Chen Xuan, also entered the semi-finals.
Lei Hu has a thunder attribute spiritual root, and his strength is among the top among popular players.
It was just bad luck that I met Chen Xuan, so I lost.
But in the subsequent competitions, they also won one after another, all the way to the semi-finals.
The top four are Xiang Changkong, Chen Xuan, Lei Hu, and a disciple named Wang Xing. The four of them fight in pairs, and the winner will naturally move into the top three. The two losers will continue to compete to determine the third place.
Four people came forward to draw lots.
"No. 1."
The lottery number drawn by Chen Xuan was ‘one’.
Xiang Changkong, Lei Hu, and Wang Xing are No. 3, No. 2, and No. 4 respectively.
"Thunder Tiger is number two."
Chen Xuan didn't expect that he would meet Lei Hu again in the finals.
