The preliminary competition for the top spot is in full swing.
After Chen Xinzhu, other seeded players also left the stage one after another, triggering waves of cheers.
In the mountain forest, Xue Jiang looked a little solemn as he watched the exciting battles one after another.
"No wonder Senior Brother Zhou was pushed out of the list. The masters of this year's list are all very strong!"
There was originally a disciple named Zhou from the Huashan Sect who was also on the list. Unfortunately, in the last month, he was pushed off the list by others.
Xue Jiang was a little regretful at first, but now it seems that he is not unjust.
After hearing Xue Jiang's words, Yang Jianzhang also nodded.
"I won't talk about the seeded players. The strength shown by the others is also very strong."
After hearing their conversation, Zheng Ning on the side also said: "What I care about more are the three young strong men who are similar in age to Senior Brother Chen."
"Well, the three of them plus Senior Brother Chen, there are four people who are the masters of the list of people under the age of twenty. Looking at it this time, there are really a lot of geniuses in this year's list of people." Yang Jianzhang said with some emotion.
.
"Even so, the biggest dark horse in this competition is definitely Senior Brother Chen." Xue Jiang said with great confidence.
Ever since he last saw Chen Xinzhu killing two innate experts from the Nether Sect with one against two, Xue Jiang has completely become Chen Xinzhu's little fanboy.
Looking at the world, it’s hard to say, but among his peers and in the same realm, Senior Brother Chen must be the strongest!
Xue Jiang believes so.
…
In the center of the basin, Chen Xinzhu put his sword back into its sheath and walked out of the competition arena.
He has already won three games in a row, and with two more wins, his preliminary rounds will be over.
Looking at Chen Xinzhu's back, the opponent who was defeated by his sword sighed heavily.
"Damn it, no one can keep up with his speed!"
Seeing this scene, a gray-robed innate powerhouse not far away asked Ji Tianhan: "Mr. Ji, what do you think of that Chen Xinzhu?"
After thinking for a moment, Ji Tianhan said, "To be honest, I'm a little surprised."
"Huh?" The gray-robed innate powerhouse was a little confused. What does this mean?
After looking at him, Ji Tianhan explained: "To be honest, although Chen Xinzhu is the eleventh on the list, he is too young after all. I was not optimistic about him before."
After hearing this, the gray-robed innate powerhouse asked with interest: "So, Mr. Ji has changed his mind now?"
Ji Tianhan nodded slightly and said casually: "Well, I think he has a chance to break into the top five this time."
"Really? That's quite exciting..."
…
Seeing Chen Xinzhu's third battle ended, and Murong Xiu who had just finished his second battle not far away, he shook his head in distress.
"This speed is really a headache..."
Hearing his words, the referee on the side nodded slightly.
A swordsman with such speed is simply a nightmare for acquired warriors.
He completely understood Murong Xiu's distress.
As soon as this innate-level referee thought of this, he heard Murong Xiu's troubled voice coming again.
"In this case, I won't be able to win easily... Hey, it's so difficult!"
"..."
At this moment, the referee felt as if a drop of cold sweat had broken out on his forehead??
Is this considered confidence??
After looking at Murong Xiu carefully, the referee was also a little unsure.
Time flies, and an hour passes in the blink of an eye.
The preliminary round has also reached the final stage.
In the eleventh group, Chen Xinzhu once again stepped onto the competition field.
This is his fifth battle and the last battle of the eleventh group.
Seeing this scene, many spectators looked over again.
"Is the eleventh group coming to an end? What's the result?"
"Eh? Didn't you look?"
"I'm sorry, I've been watching the second group's competition carefully, and the other groups didn't watch much."
"...The second group? Isn't that the group that Fairy Ziyue is in?"
"hey-hey……"
"..."
Somewhere in the forest, Xue Jiang said excitedly: "The first person to advance seems to be none other than Senior Brother Chen."
"Well, there are several competitions between other groups. The eleventh group that Senior Brother Chen belongs to is already in the last one. If nothing else happens, the first group to finish the competition will be the eleventh group."
Just as Yang Jianzhang said this, Zheng Ning suddenly said: "Look carefully, it's about to start..."
…
In the center of the basin, the eleventh group of venues.
Chen Xinzhu stood opposite an old man with a gray beard and a sword.
The 11th person on the list, the 19th person on the opponent list.
Judging from the rankings, the strength of the two should be about the same, but no one present would think so.
Whether it is the evaluation on the rankings or the performance in previous battles, Chen Xinzhu undoubtedly has the upper hand.
In the eyes of everyone, the outcome of this battle was without any suspense.
It must be Chen Xinzhu's victory.
However, his opponent is also one of the top 20 players on the list, so he will not be defeated by Chen Xinzhu with a sword like the others, right?
This is why people are so concerned about it.
Does Chen Xinzhu’s speed still work in front of experts?
This is the question they want to figure out most at the moment.
…
"start!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Chen Xinzhu's figure was like lightning, spanning a distance of tens of meters in an instant.
After watching Chen Xinzhu's previous four duels, the sword-wielding old man was already mentally prepared for his speed.
As soon as the referee finished speaking, he immediately slashed out into the open space in front of him without any hesitation.
The air was instantly cut open by the long sword, making a whooshing sound as it broke through the air.
Like a tacit cooperation, Chen Xinzhu's figure instantly appeared in front of the sword-wielding old man's sword.
"ah!"
Seeing this scene, many people exclaimed in surprise.
The situation seems to be very bad for Chen Xinzhu??
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Chen Xinzhu, inside and outside the stadium.
I want to see how he responds.
"Come on, let me see what else you are hiding?" Ji Tianhan, who was not far away, murmured softly.
With the sword held close to his body, Chen Xinzhu's expression did not change at all.
With a slight tap of his foot, with a whooshing sound, his whole body instantly rose into the air.
The old man holding the sword slashed with his long sword, killing a lonely person...
Chen Xinzhu soared into the air, bringing out an afterimage that quickly passed over the head of the old man holding the sword and landed behind him.
The two stood with their backs facing each other, silent for a moment.
Clang!
Chen Xinzhu sheathed his sword.
"The outcome has been decided, and the winner is Chen Xinzhu."
Many people didn't react at all when they heard the referee's loud announcement.
What happened?
One second, Chen Xinzhu thought the situation was not good, and the next second he won??
“Is this the end of the competition??”
"It should be so..."
"How did you win?"
"speed??"
"Indeed, this speed is simply invincible, and my eyes can't keep up."
"I can only say that this speed is awesome!"
…
In the center of the basin, Ji Tianhan looked at Chen Xinzhu with eyes filled with wonder.
"The speed has increased again..."
In the eleventh group of venues, the old man holding the sword stretched out his right hand and gently touched the back of his neck.
Sure enough, I felt a small wound.
I also felt sticky blood...
Although he couldn't see it at all, the old man holding the sword knew very well that the moment Chen Xinzhu somersaulted over his head, he was hit by a sword in the back of his neck.
If it weren't for Chen Xinzhu's mercy, he would be dead now...
Thinking of this, the old man holding the sword smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked off the competition ground.
Although I already knew that I was no match, the gap was too big, right?
