Chapter 29: Consecutive Promotions (Part 1)
The entire scene was silent.
Every monk under the stage had their eyes wide open and their mouths agape in an 'O' shape.
Xuantian's talent in martial arts was at the eighth level of the Profound Sky Realm, but he didn't even use his sword. With just four moves using his mid-grade Huang-stage martial skill, "Fierce Bull Fist", he defeated Wu Liao, who was at the ninth level of the Martial Arts Realm, causing him to spit blood and fall off the stage, breaking several bones in the process.
It seems that Wu Liao will not be able to recover from his injuries within ten days or half a month, and he will have to give up the ranking competition of 255-508.
Unable to participate in the competition, Wu Liao's ranking can only be at the bottom. As a proud elite disciple of the 9th rank of Wudao, he may even be ranked 508th, and some disciples of the 7th rank of Wudao are even ranked higher than him.
Ranking 508th is simply a humiliation for Wu Liao.
"Eightfold Refining of the Martial Realm, using the Yellow Rank Middle Grade martial skill 'Fierce Bull Fist', against the Ninefold Refining of the Martial Realm, using the Yellow Rank High Grade sword skill 'Return to One Sword', actually won?"
"Without even using a sword, he can transcend realms and defeat his opponent. Huang Tian's strength is absolutely comparable to those giants with tenfold cultivation."
"If Huang Tian Shixiong uses his sword, will he really rush into the top ten of this tournament? Become the biggest dark horse?"
"It's a bit difficult to get into the top ten, but as long as he doesn't run into one of those powerful existences among the top ten cultivators with multiple rebirths, Huang Tian will definitely have the strength to advance to the fifth round and enter the top 64."
"I don't know how Huang Tian's strength compares to that of a typical 10th-level cultivator. If he can win, there's even a chance he'll advance to the sixth round and enter the top 32."
"Tenfold cultivators are all among the top 32, and if Huang Tian can break into the top 32, that would be too awesome! He's only at the eighth level of martial arts cultivation!"
"I think it's possible, even the 9th rank cultivator Wu Liao and Huang Tian didn't draw their swords, they just used a set of wild cow fist techniques to defeat him. An ordinary 10th rank cultivator may not be a match for Huang Tian."
"It's impossible, the tenth stage of martial arts is the final stage of martial arts. A warrior who has reached the tenth stage is far superior to one who has only reached the ninth stage. Although Huang Tian is formidable, every giant at the tenth stage is incredibly powerful. Being able to enter the top 64 should be Huang Tian's last achievement. If he encounters those giant-level existences earlier, he might even get eliminated earlier."
"I believe in Huang Shixiong, he will definitely make it into the top 32."
"I don't think he's good enough. He's at the 8th level of martial arts, two levels away from the 10th level, and the difference between them is too great, so he definitely won't make it."
……
……
After a brief shock and silence, the outer disciples around the arena suddenly boiled up, and the topic centered on Xuantian, launching an intense discussion.
Xuantian uses the Mangniu Fist, defeating Wu Liao with four punches, once again shocking the outer door disciples. Xuantian becomes the most popular and talked-about person in this ranking competition, even Yang Dingjun, Bai Zhanghe, Zhang Long... and other outer door disciple leaders did not cause such a sensation as Xuantian.
Because their strength is already powerful enough, even if they defeat fellow disciples of the same boundary, in the hearts of many outer door disciples, they are still an acceptable existence.
Like Xuan Tian, he was unknown six months ago, but in a short period of time, he rose to power, not only crossing borders to defeat his opponents, but also using martial skills that were one level lower than his opponents', causing intense shock among the outer sect disciples.
"It seems like this time in the ranking competition, we have another competitor."
In the distance, a disciple of the tenth rank of martial arts said to someone beside him, in his heart, he had already regarded Xuantian as an opponent.
The person next to him, who also had a cultivation base of ten realms, furrowed his brow and said: "He is indeed very powerful, but his realm is too low. With only an eight-realm cultivation base, he may be able to defeat a nine-realm warrior, but against us, he is absolutely no match."
Earlier, that person thought for a moment and said: "It's also true that Wu Liao is among the weakest of the nine-layer cultivators' disciples. Even the stronger disciples of the nine-layer cultivators can defeat him. If it were the strongest disciple of the nine-layer cultivators who fought against Huang Tian, the outcome would still be unpredictable. As for us, with a cultivation level two realms higher than his, we have a great advantage."
……
……
As for the discussions of his fellow disciples, Xuan Tian let it enter through his left ear and exit through his right ear. Whether they looked up to him or not, neither could affect his mood.
Xuān Tiān's heart is like a sword, upright, sharp and piercing, unaffected by outsiders' words and opinions.
On the viewing platform, the outer sect elder looked at Xuan Tian walking down from the arena, with a look of admiration in his eyes. He thought to himself: "This young man is not only a genius in swordsmanship, but also far surpasses ordinary people in martial arts. A set of fierce bull fist techniques can be used to this extent, even when I was young, I couldn't do it. Unfortunately, his cultivation is too low, already 15 years old, yet only at the eighth level of martial arts cultivation. If he were two or three years younger, he would almost be comparable to our sect's once-in-a-century genius, Chu Feng. What a pity!"
After the second round of competition, we have to wait for the eliminated disciples to determine the 255th-508th places before holding the third round of competition, which will be a day later.
That day, Xuan Tian was again in the back mountain, practicing swordsmanship for half a day, and spent the rest of the time cultivating his Pre-Heavenly Technique.
Xuan Tian's Pre-Heavenly Cultivation is currently stuck at the fifth layer.
The Innate Merit breaks through the sixth layer, which is when the Mysterious Heaven Cultivation breaks through the Ninth Layer of the Martial Dao Realm.
The seventh layer of Huangji's superior gong method is divided into seven layers. The fourth layer is the small success boundary, which is more powerful than the great success boundary of the middle grade gong method of Huangji.
A martial artist who has reached the sixth level of the Martial Realm, and is practicing the top-grade technique of the Yellow Rank, can enter the seventh level when they reach the fourth layer. When they reach the fifth layer, they can enter the eighth level. When they reach the sixth layer, they can enter the ninth level. When they reach the seventh layer, they will have reached the Great Completion Realm, and can then enter the tenth level.
Xuān Tiān cultivates the Pre-Heavenly Technique, which is also the same. However, cultivating the Pre-Heavenly Technique is extremely difficult and requires an extremely high level of enlightenment. Ordinary people who cultivate it find it hard to reach even the fourth layer's Small Completion Realm, making breakthroughs in their cultivation extremely difficult. But after breaking through, the internal energy gained is unmatched by other top-grade Yellow Stage techniques.
Xuān Tiān is now at the fifth level of Xiāntiān Gōng, but his internal energy is even thicker than that of a ninth-level cultivator. Even if he were to encounter a tenth-level master, his internal energy would not be weaker by a single hair.
Only when the pure Yang Gong is on par with the innate skill can the inner strength suppress Xuan Tian by one level.
For example, Yang Shixiong, he cultivated the Pure Yang Art to the seventh layer, reaching the Great Completion Realm, his internal strength was profound, and among all the outer door disciples, no one could compare with him. Xuan Tian's innate skill had only been cultivated to the fifth layer, compared to which it was also much inferior.
However, Xuantian has exquisite martial skills. A warrior's strength is based on internal power, but the application of martial skills is also a crucial factor in determining one's strength.
Therefore, even if Yang Shixiong's internal strength was unmatched among the outer door disciples, Xuan Tian was no longer afraid of him.
Huang Shi spent the day watching matches in the square and returned to his residence at night, where he couldn't help but talk about the previous two rounds of competition with Xuan Tian, exchanging exclamations of surprise and admiration as they laughed together.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed and the third round of the Outer Disciple Ranking Competition of the Tianjian Sect began.
In the third round, still no top ten disciples of Jiu Chong, he drew Xuan Tian as his opponent.
The one who fought against Xuan Tian was a 9th-level cultivator disciple ranked 92nd, named Tang Hai, in the 4th arena match.
Judging from the ranking, it's clear that Tang Hai is slightly stronger than Wu Liao, but not by much.
Having learned from Wu Liao's lesson, Tang Hai naturally didn't dare to show any disdain towards Xuan Tian, and his tone was not slighted in the least.
Tang Hai, not being Yang Dingjun's man nor Zhang Long's man, was not treated too harshly by Xuan Tian. He still used the Mengniu Fist Method and fought him for ten moves, forcing Tang Hai to the edge of the arena. Knowing he was no match, Tang Hai chose to concede defeat.
Tang Haotai was eliminated, Xuan Tian advanced to the fourth round and entered the top 127.
In the third round, there were fewer participants than in the first and second rounds. The competition was completed on the same day, and the ranking battles from 128th to 254th place were also held on the same day.
The fourth round of matches began the next day.
In the fourth round, a total of 127 players competed. Bai Zhanhe, ranked No. 1, received a bye, while the other 126 players competed in matches to determine the 63 winners who would join Bai Zhanhe in advancing to the fifth round and becoming one of the top 64 players.
By the fourth round, only ten ninth-grade and nine eighth-grade disciples were left. The main focus was on the competition among the ninth-grade disciples.
Of course, in the fourth round of competition, who Xuan Tian will meet is the most concern for all outer disciples.
The third round, Xuan Tian and Tang Hai fought a battle. The result was as expected by the disciples. Now, all the outer door disciples wanted to see Xuan Tian meet an opponent with a higher ranking and stronger strength, to see just how strong Xuan Tian's abilities had become.
"Round 4, No. 29 Fan Hong vs No. 467 Huang Tian, Arena 1."
The old Korean's voice rang out loudly.
Wudang boundary tenth heavy head Fan Hong versus this ranking dark horse Xuan Tian!
As soon as Han Chang's voice fell, a large number of outer door disciples, including ordinary disciples and elite disciples, all rushed to the No. 1 arena.
Perhaps it was the expectation in the hearts of the many disciples that had an effect, and Xuan Tian indeed encountered a powerful opponent.
However, this opponent exceeded the expectations of all the fellow disciples. They had hoped that Xuántiān would meet a top-ranked Jīu Chóng (Nine Heavens) cultivation disciple, but unexpectedly, in just the fourth round, Xuántiān encountered a Shí Chóng (Ten Heavens) cultivation giant among the disciples.
No matter who wins or loses, there is one person in this game who will be eliminated.
Most of the top disciples have already defeated their opponents and ended their matches, including Bai Zhanhe, Yang Dingjun, Zhang Long, Lin Wuying, Li Yichang, Liang Zhong, Ma Tao... etc. All ten of the top disciples with 10th-level cultivation have arrived at Arena No. 1, focusing on this battle.
Xuantian was the first to arrive at the arena, attracting more disciples than the total number of disciples attracted by the other seven arenas combined.
The disciples under the two arenas nearby all shifted their gaze to Arena 1, because around Arena 1, except for the passageway between the upper and lower arenas, everywhere else had already been packed with people, making it impossible to squeeze in anymore.
Even the outer gate elders on the watchtowers nearby, and the various outer gate masters and elders on the building in front of the square, all shifted their gaze to one of the arenas.
