I saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an ordinary face, and wearing a yellow costume. He walked out of the crowd, jumped lightly, and landed steadily on the second fighting stage on the left.

He cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said loudly:

"I'm Zhai Ning, I'm here to challenge Junior Brother Chang."

A shrewd look flashed in Zhai Ning's eyes, and she looked quite confident.

Persimmon has to be picked on the soft side. With his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, he still has a huge advantage in challenging Chang Haosi in the middle stage of foundation building.

Although this person has a good reputation and is rumored to have defeated several late-stage foundation-building monks, reputation is all false. Who knows if it is just spreading rumors?

He has seen a lot of people who are just fake!

"Stop talking nonsense and take action!"

Chang Haosi snorted and said coldly.

The first person who was pointed out as a challenge seemed to be treated as a soft persimmon, which made his face look a little ugly and he was naturally not polite.

"I'm offended."

The other party was so rude, Zhai Ning still maintained his demeanor and said something polite, but in his heart he was determined to make the other party disgraced.

Thinking about this, he smiled unconsciously.

Then Zhai Ning didn't waste any time, just made a hand seal, and within a breathless time, he released two red flames with dragon outlines, roaring and entwining towards the opponent, launching a tentative attack.

It is the second-level low-grade magic fire dragon technique!

Then he propped up the defensive shield, shrank it to the size of his body surface, and at the same time used the defensive weapon, showing his rich experience in fighting.

After doing this, he looked at the other party.

Facing the mere Fire Dragon Technique, Chang Haosi didn't take it seriously at all, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

The sword hanging on his waist, which reached the level of a high-grade spiritual weapon, slightly opened a gap in the scabbard, and shot out two sword energy at will, and then made no further movements, obviously full of confidence.

The sword energy was a light silvery white color, small and refined, and flew extremely fast. It came first and met the Fire Dragon Technique in the center of the fighting platform.

"Bang" "Bang"

Two loud noises spread throughout the square.

The sword energy and the fire dragon technique were both extinguished, and the red flames fell on the fighting stage and soon extinguished and disappeared.

As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.

When Zhai Ning saw this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his expression became serious, giving him a bad feeling.

He was about to use his offensive weapon and initiate further testing.

"Clang"

But at this moment Chang Haosi made a move, pulled out the long sword from his waist with a clang, and waved it six times in succession with one movement of his arm.

Six three-inch-long silvery-white sword energy was slashed out in a row, shooting straight towards the opponent, and in the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of several feet.

He doesn't have to be interested in going back and forth with him, testing his cards and strength step by step.

He wanted to end the battle quickly, shock his fellow disciples in the audience, show his strength, and let others know that he was not to be messed with and should not be disturbed.

This is the confidence of being a swordsman!

"Bang bang bang...!"

Seeing this, Zhai Ning's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly controlled the defensive weapon to resist, and finally resisted the attack with all his strength.

Sword cultivators have always been excellent in attack, surpassing legal cultivators and physical cultivators. Those who are outstanding are even more powerful than monks who are a little higher than themselves.

It is precisely because of the advantage in attack that sword cultivators are more likely to fight across the ranks than monks of other paths. At the same time, many monks are afraid of being dragged into the trap before they die.

Of course, the leap here refers to the small realm.

In Liu Yu's observation, after the two went through the initial round of testing, under the leadership of Chang Haosi, the battle directly entered an intense stage.

Facing the powerful offensive, Zhai Ning did not have much initiative. Most of the time, he could only defend passively, without much ability to fight back.

Chang Haosi's sword is a top-grade spiritual weapon, while Zhai Ning's sword is only a top-grade magical weapon. There is a big gap between the two in this regard.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference in strength between the two, and their defeat is only a matter of time.

"Junior Brother Chang, please stop. I am willing to admit defeat."

Less than half an hour later, Zhai Ning, who was already disgraced and almost unable to hold on anymore, shouted loudly.

This result is expected, after all, there is still a long way to go in terms of strength between the two.

Hearing this, Chang Haosi stopped his offensive and did not beat the drowned dog. He just looked at the other party coldly without saying a word, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

With Elder Jindan present to supervise him, although he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, he could only give up.

"Chang Haosi attacked one after another, and his sword energy was even more sharp, leaving Zhai Ning no chance to breathe. Although the latter has much deeper cultivation, he is no match after all."

"The main reason is the difference in quality between the two instruments."

"If Zhai Ning has a high-grade defensive weapon that can withstand the opponent's fierce offensive, it may be possible to turn defeat into victory."

"After all, the consumption of an attack with this level of power cannot be so small."

In the crowd, Liu Yu watched the fight expressionlessly, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides in his mind.

I'm even thinking about how I would deal with it if I were in a different place.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that if he did not use the talisman, he would be 70% sure of winning the battle.

After all, his Thick Earth Sky Umbrella is far better than Zhai Ning's defensive weapon, and he can also use two high-grade spiritual weapons, the Li Xuan Sword and the Netherworld Soul-Severing Cone.

Moreover, the mana after being refined by demonic fire is far purer than that of ordinary monks in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if they have also practiced high-grade skills, at least they will not be at a disadvantage in terms of mana.

Compared to Chang Haosi, who is strong in attack and weak in defense, he is more balanced and has no obvious shortcomings.

Of course, if you encounter it in the wild and you can use the Shocking Thorn, your certainty can be increased to more than 80%.

The secret technique of spiritual attack is extremely rare, and Liu Yu has never seen any monk use it so far.

Under the eyes of many Jindan elders, he would never dare to use it, lest it attract the covetousness of high-level monks.

Of course, certainty is only certainty after all. Things change rapidly during a battle, and the outcome will only be known after fighting.

With Zhai Ning as the background, Chang Haosi's strength is fully revealed.

The cultivators of Yuanyang Sect who witnessed the whole process also discussed and had different reactions.

Although the voices of these discussions are small, how sensitive is the hearing of the foundation-building monks? Therefore, it is no different from shouting loudly.

"Senior Brother Chang's strength is indeed incomparable. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch the five shots. The Fate of the Rain Sword is indeed well-deserved."

"Is this the power of sword cultivation? It is indeed more outstanding than traditional magic cultivation in terms of attack."

"It's a small skill, nothing more than that."

Among the crowd, there were people who were amazed and admired. Most of these were monks in the early and middle stages of foundation building. Due to their great strength, they had no desire to compare.

There are some who secretly compare themselves. Most of these monks are above the middle stage of foundation building and have extraordinary self-control. Some of them want to compete for the position of team leader and have regarded them as imaginary opponents.

There are those who are disdainful, and there are only a few monks in this group. They are either the Three Heroes or the Four Elites, or one of the twelve people appointed by the elders.

No matter how the monks in the audience viewed it, it could not change the fact that Zhai Ning was defeated in disgrace in the late stage of foundation building. It also made many monks realize the gap in strength and extinguished some unrealistic ideas.

But these could not stop those monks who were very powerful and really wanted to compete for the position of team leader. At that moment, several people walked out of the crowd and came to the fighting stage to challenge.

"I, Mei Zhengchu, would like to ask Senior Sister Li for advice!"

"I'm Hao Meng in Zhuqingshan, please ask Brother Ma to take action!"

"Min Xiufeng and Wei Xiaoqin, please..."

The time was only half a day, but it could not withstand the exhaustion. After someone took the lead, four or five monks in a row stood up and challenged the twelve fighting platforms.

The "Challenger" on the fighting stage has a short period of rest to recover his mana after each challenge, so there are no monks to challenge Chang Haosi again for the time being.

Among these monks, there is no third senior brother Jing Yongqing.

Liu Yu glanced around and found that he was still standing in the crowd with his old spirit, and he didn't seem to be anxious at all.

"This person is quite calm."

Liu Yu's lips twitched, but he had no intention of taking action now. After all, there were still more than five hours left.

His ideal situation is that after he has been challenged on all twelve fighting stages and he has some understanding of the "Challenger's" methods, he can then choose a move that is relatively easy to deal with.

This saves a lot of effort.

Faced with the challenge from their fellow competitors in the audience, of course the champions could not refuse, so the two sides did not talk too much, and after a few words, they started to fight and start a fierce battle.

"Ding ding" "bang bang" "puff"

For a time, the sound of the collision of magical weapons, spiritual weapons, and spells was endless.

In order to save time, five battles were held simultaneously on five fighting stages. Ten monks started a fierce battle on the stage, which dazzled all the cultivators in the audience.

Some monks were greatly shocked, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

After seeing the strength of one of the twelve people appointed by the elders, he had already persuaded most of the monks who lacked strength to retreat. The remaining monks who still dared to challenge him were not easy to do.
