Looking at the flattering look of the innkeeper, Zhang Yifeng just smiled. If he remembered correctly, the innkeeper had a look of disdain in his eyes when he saw him wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Jade Sword Sect on the day he checked in.
Zhang Yifeng did not pursue the matter, he just bowed his hand to the innkeeper, turned around and led others out of the inn.
Seeing Zhang Yifeng's leaving figure, the innkeeper lowered his head in shame. How could he not know that Zhang Yifeng treated him like this because he looked down upon others before.
Arriving at the square, there were many fewer sects competing today than yesterday, with only sixteen sects left.
The remaining disciples of the sect were either watching the battle from a distance, or they had already embarked on their way back to the sect yesterday.
The order of the battle was quickly decided, and the Jade Sword Sect fought against a small sect.
"Haha, we are so lucky. We were assigned to a small sect."
"Yes, if we defeat these people, we can enter the quarterfinals!"
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that my Jade Sword Sect would be so successful one day."
The disciples of the Jade Sword Sect were all excited.
They are creating the history of the sect.
Excited to meet the disciples of the Jade Sword Sect, the disciples of the small sect were in tears. Their leader almost fainted.
At this time, the captain of the small sect walked up to Zhang Yifeng and did not say any harsh words. Instead, he asked Zhang Yifeng to be gentler later and not to let them lose too much face.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.
At this time, the first few duels ended quickly, and Zhang Yifeng and the disciples from the small sect stepped onto the ring one after another.
Zhang Yifeng did not take the lead in the battle, but sent a disciple of the Jade Sword Sect.
Zhang Yifeng had already made it clear to them before the battle that this battle was for them to gain practical experience. Winning or losing was not important. They had to show their own momentum.
In fact, the disciples of the Jade Sword Sect are not bad in strength, but the years of failures have dampened their confidence, so they dare not take action.
Now Zhang Yifeng is respecting others and re-building their self-confidence. The other three also understand Zhang Yifeng's good intentions.
"What's going on? The Jade Sword Sect didn't send its leader to fight, but asked its disciples to take action. Isn't this looking down on the other party?"
"Not necessarily. If the leader of the Jade Sword Sect takes action, this battle will probably be resolved soon, and then the opponent's face will be wiped out."
"It's different for the Jade Sword Sect to send its disciples to fight. Let the other party deal with three of its disciples. After returning, the results will be impressive."
"I see. I didn't expect that the leader of the Jade Sword Sect would take care of other people's feelings."
The people around him quickly came to a conclusion. The small sect opposite also looked at Zhang Yifeng with a grateful face. It was enough to have such a record.
Anyway, the sect doesn't know the specific situation here. It's enough for the sect to know that they have indeed tried their best.
Looking at the grateful eyes from the other side, Zhang Yifeng just smiled slightly. If the other side underestimated the enemy, it would not be Zhang Yifeng's fault.
At this time, the leader of the small sect opposite him decisively sent a disciple to the stage.
After the two sides saluted with their swords, they started to take stances. The disciple of the small sect took the lead in attacking, with a sword flower dancing in his hand and stabbing the disciple of the Jade Sword Sect.
Seeing his opponent's swift and fierce moves, this Jade Sword Sect disciple hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering as he didn't know how to deal with the enemy.
Zhang Yifeng saw this scene from behind, frowned slightly, and coughed hard.
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's cough, the Jade Sword Sect disciple woke up instantly, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
The long sword in his hand thrust out, like a dense net that wrapped all the sword flowers of the sect disciples in front of him.
The airtight sword net made the young sect disciple feel more pressure. He actually couldn't break through the opponent's defensive net.
The Jade Sword Sect disciples became more and more happy as they fought. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out in their hearts, and the long swords in their hands became more and more smooth.
The disciples of the Jade Sword Sect performed outstandingly, but looking at the disciples of the small sect opposite, they felt that the sword net in front of them was even more terrifying.
Under the strong pressure in his heart, the long sword in his hand was finally knocked out. Looking at the tip of the sword in front of his neck, he tremblingly raised his hands in surrender.
This scene immediately made all the monks around look shocked. Except for Zhang Yifeng, he had already expected that their side would win this battle.
On the other hand, the leader of the small sect also had a look of shock and regret on his face.
If he had known this, he would have entered this battle, but it was really embarrassing for him to win the first victory.
Especially when the opponent's disciples won the victory, the leader of the small sect felt even more embarrassed, and his face felt hot.
In the next two battles, the Jade Sword Sect's comeback did not happen again. This was also because the disciple who participated in the first battle was indeed carefully selected by Zhang Yifeng.
There is really a gap in strength between the remaining two, but this time it also gave them confidence.
Such a record is not bad, and Zhang Yifeng has given the opponent enough face.
Then Zhang Yifeng came on the stage in person. After two rounds of pretending to be with the opponent's team leader, Zhang Yifeng sent him off the ring.
Rather than sending him off, if Zhang Yifeng hadn't rushed up and pushed him, he would have almost been seen to be the leader who jumped off the ring himself.
Of course, this poor acting was seen through by all the monks present.
Even the referee glanced at Zhang Yifeng helplessly and raised his hand speechlessly to indicate that Zhang Yifeng had won.
There is no dispute among all the monks present. After all, Zhang Yifeng's strength is there, and we can't ask anyone to compete with Zhang Yifeng with real swords and guns.
Zhang Yifeng also won this game easily and successfully led the Jade Sword Sect to the quarterfinals.
The ensuing battle was quickly resolved, and the final eight spots were announced.
It's just that the monks in the audience already have a predetermined winner in their hearts. Half of the monks think that the Jade Sword Sect led by Zhang Yifeng will win.
The other half believed that it would be Zihuang of Liusu Sword Sect who would lead his disciples to win this youth martial arts meeting.
As for the other sects, they just accompanied these two sects in the cutscenes.
In this battle between the top eight, the Jade Sword Sect led by Zhang Yifeng still did not encounter the Tassel Sword Sect led by Zi Huang.
It seems that the organizers of the martial arts competition do not want such a wonderful duel to take place so early.
Shaking his head, Zhang Yifeng was sincerely looking forward to seeing what Zihuang's strength was now.
Whether he can be Zhang Yifeng's opponent with suppressed strength is still unknown.
Time passed, and the battle for the top four officially began. The eight sect generals and their respective opponents competed for the top four positions.
Zhang Yifeng encountered a tough opponent this time. He was not weak in strength and could be considered a dark horse in this field.
