Chen Yao was not an arrogant person. Facing the thunderous cheers of the crowd, he was still clear that even though he had killed Liu Kuang in a single blow, he had still paid a huge price.

Earlier, he had directly used his golden needles to expand his meridians, which had the greatest advantage of instantly releasing all the power in his body at the time of the drawing of the sword, at a hundred times more powerful. Although Chen Yao didn't use all the power in his body with just one sword attack, he still used seventy to eighty percent of his strength.

Liu Kuang wasn't an ordinary person, and with the Soul Igniting Secret Technique, he naturally wouldn't be easy to deal with.

However, in the end, Chen Yao still won.

The first round of the semifinals ended just like that. Chen Yao coldly glanced in the direction of the viewing platform and shot a sharp glance at Liu Hai, who was sitting on pins and needles on the viewing platform.

Although Liu Hai was already an expert at the peak of the Emperor Martial Realm, his heart still heavily trembled when he met Chen Yao's gaze.

"Sect Leader Liu, I have already sent someone to deliver the one million spirit stones you lost to me to Chen Yao. On behalf of Chen Yao, I thank you."

Just then, Luo Tian's voice sounded out.

One million spirit stones was a cultivation resource that had been in his possession for several years. Chen Yao had killed a proud disciple of the Liu Family, but he had also received one million spirit stones from Liu Hai. Liu Hai was upset, but with so many people betting with Luo Tian, how could he not comply?

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and coldly looked at Luo Tian.

"Since I've lost a million spirit stones to the headmaster, the headmaster naturally has the right to take care of it himself."

Luo Tian laughed.

I believe that this one million spirit stones will definitely bring Chen Yao great benefits and will also receive protection in the following matches. If Chen Yao is able to obtain an excellent ranking, then when the time comes, we will thank Sect Leader Liu even more properly.

Luo Tian's words were full of sarcasm, and he was simply slapping himself in the face.

However, with Luo Tian's cultivation and identity, Liu Kuang had no way to refute.

"Humph! Although Chen Yao has been promoted to the top six of the Sword Ranking, he must survive and finish all the matches before he can enter the Demon Sealing Ancient Battlefield. I wish him good luck."

Liu Kuang clenched his fist and stood up. He turned around and left the viewing platform. He didn't have the mood to watch the following matches.

After Chen Yao walked down from the arena, he did not stand among the crowd. What he was most worried about right now was healing his wounds and replenishing his spiritual energy.

However, Chen Yao didn't want to miss the match and get to know his opponent's strength. He chose a place at the back of the janitor mountain, less than a kilometer away from the arena, to heal his injuries.

"Who?"

When Chen Yao had just taken a Spiritual Recovery Pill to recover the spiritual energy that he had expended a hundred times over due to the usage of his meridians, he clearly felt a trace of Qi that didn't belong to him appearing beside him.

Without any hesitation, he swung the Heaven's Slaying Sword at his opponent.

"Clang!"

With a sound, Chen Yao's Heaven Smiting Sword was blocked by his opponent. However, a white figure was still pushed back several meters before coming to a stop.

The man also had a medium-grade earth-step sword in his hand, which he had broken into two.

"You are?"

Seeing the white robed swordsman in front of him, Chen Yao guessed his identity. If there were no surprises, it should be the sword guard of the Sword Faction Sovereign, the White Robed Sword Guard.

Thus, Chen Yao did not continue to attack.

As for the white-robed Sword Guard who had already reached the peak of the Martial King Realm, he was extremely shocked.

Since he was a swordsman, it was inevitable that he would have the heart to use a battle sword. Chen Yao kept defeating high-level cultivators, so he wanted to take advantage of Luo Tian sending him to test Chen Yao's strength.

Although he had long since prepared himself not to treat Chen Yao as an ordinary peak of the Genuine Force, the current situation had completely exceeded his expectations.

The White Robed Sword Guard was the shadow guard of the sword faction's headmaster, and the most powerful thing was their hidden methods.

However, he had still been discovered by Chen Yao. Furthermore, Chen Yao had managed to make the first move.

Since Chen Yao made the first move, his attack would have been a disappointment. However, the momentum of Chen Yao's sword was extremely fierce, it actually managed to cut through his medium-grade earth-step equipment. If he didn't dodge fast, that sword attack might have hurt him.

He was a powerful warrior at the peak of the King's realm, yet he was at the hands of a Genuine Force disciple. He had suffered such a huge loss during his first fight. This showed Chen Yao's worth and potential.

If Chen Yao was able to smoothly succeed as the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect in the future, then it would be worth it for them to sacrifice themselves for him.

Discarding his random thoughts, this white-robed Sword Guard took out a Cosmic Bag and said.

"The headmaster knew that you had used up a large amount of spiritual energy just now, so he asked me to send a million spirit stones to you so that you could absorb the energy and recover as soon as possible."

Chen Yao hesitated for a moment before accepting it.

One million spirit stones was truly a small number. Even the great elders of the sword faction wouldn't be able to reach this amount in a year.

It was enough to see how much Luo Tian valued him. Chen Yao was very moved by this White Robed Sword Guard.

"Please thank Headmaster for me. Then, tell him that I, Chen Yao, want the first place of this Martial Competition. He can just wait and see."

The sword guard nodded and disappeared from the field.

Looking at the Cosmos Sack in his hand, Chen Yao was pleasantly surprised.

The reason Luo Tian was able to become the sword faction's sect head was especially reasonable. He actually thought that I had expended too much spirit energy in today's sword, so he gave me such a large amount of spirit stones to help me recover.

Even though there were all sorts of spiritual medicines, the best way to recover spiritual energy was to refine spiritual stones.

Spirit stones contained the purest form of spiritual energy, and were extremely beneficial to cultivators.

One million spirit stones should be enough for him to cultivate to the third level of the King's realm, right?

If it was an ordinary cultivator, or another person at the peak of the Genuine Force, one million spirit stones would be more than enough to train to the peak of the Martial King Realm. But Chen Yao was a freak, especially after his meridians expanded, he would have to spend several times, or even dozens of times more spiritual energy to raise his cultivation level.

Even a million spiritual stones might not be enough to help Chen Yao reach the third level of the King's realm.

Chen Yao directly sat on the ground. Tens of thousands of spirit stones were directly sucked into his dantian.

Sensing the arrival of the spirit stone, the chaos sword seed, which had been silent all this time, suddenly became active and began to cry out.

The spiritual energy contained within these tens of thousands of spiritual stones was completely absorbed by the Chaos sword seed within a few breaths' time. It then turned into primal chaos energy and started circulating within Chen Yao's body.
