C108

The preliminary competition lasted for a full ten days. After all, Wu Dang's outer court was too large, and the number of participants in each area exceeded 100 thousand. It was obviously impossible for them to not spend some time.

After the preliminary competition, they had rested for three days. These three days were obviously to consider whether or not to participate in the finals, and it would also provide time for the contestants who had gone through fierce battles to recover from their injuries.

Three days later, the battles for the top hundred began. Of course, not all of the disciples would participate; after all, the vast majority of disciples did not have the confidence to advance into the top 100.

There were a total of 3321 participants participating in this year's competition. The largest number of participants were naturally the four major families: Sword Academy, Saber Academy, Spear Arts Academy, and almost 80% of the slots were allocated to them. Naturally, Chen Shouzhi, Wang Fang, and Qiu Shuyun were also on the list.

The top hundred battles were divided into three stages, the group stage, the elimination stage, and the ranking battles. The top hundred battles were divided into groups, the elimination stage, and the ranking battles were divided into three stages.

Each group would be divided into a top 4 group, with two pairs of battles. Even if they failed, there would still be one more chance, and that was to enter the Losers Group. The Losers Group would have three victors, while the Losers Group would have one loser.

The group matches were held in each of the outer court's 200 arenas. Each arena could be used for up to 4 matches per day. The entire group competition was planned to take 10 days. Through the drawing of lots, Chen Jing was divided into the twelfth group, while Wang Fang and Qiu Shuyun were divided into the thirty-fourth and sixty-seventh groups, respectively. Chen Jing's luck was not very good in the group competition. He was drawn in the first 21 teams. He had one more contestant compared to the other teams, reaching 34 contestants. Of course, on the whole, Chen Jing's luck was still quite good, because there weren't many strong contestants in the 12 teams, and the only contestant to be ranked on the list of the top 100 on the Spiritual Nexus was the sword academy expert Liu Lifang. Chen Jing had not met her during the drawing of lots, so Chen Jing's four matches were victorious and successfully advanced to the elimination round.

Chen Jing definitely wasn't the luckiest person in the group competition, but Qiu Shuyun was definitely the luckiest." Qiu Shuyun had drawn in the 42 groups, for a total of 33 contestants. It was hard to avoid one contestant being left empty-handed during the draw. This lucky contestant was Qiu Shuyun. After that was the entry of seventeen to nine, nine to five, five to three, and each battle would have one empty slot. Then came the entry of seventeen to nine, nine to five, five to three, and each battle would have one empty slot.

Compared to Qiu Shuyun's good luck, Elementary Scholar Wang Fang could be said to be in the wrong. He was drawn together with Tyrant Spear Yang Baihu and another top expert of the Saber Academy, Guan Lin. Although he had painstakingly won two matches in the Losers Group, he had the luck to encounter the Tyrant Spear Yang Baihu, eliminated by this year's strongest dark horse — body arts academy's junior general, Wang Fei. It could be said that he had been extremely unlucky, and that he didn't have the chance to enter the finals.

At this time, there were no longer any survivors from the Losers Group. It could be said that the battle was a matter of life and death, and Chen Jing's luck had finally reached its end. In the first battle, he had drawn the top name, Ba Dao Wang Chao, who was only second to the number one genius, Wan Kang.

Chen Jing was still dressed in white, but his white training uniform had been replaced by an even more beautiful ancient outfit. On the stage, his white clothes were fluttering, his long sword was like a rainbow, and with the long hair that had grown in the past few years, he wouldn't give way even if he stood next to the Flying Immortal Swordsman Wan Kang. Therefore, when Chen Jing came up on stage, he attracted a lot of cheers from the thousands of students below the stage.

Wang Chao was two meters tall, and he had a full face of curly sideburns. He carried eight large blades on his shoulders as he stood majestically in front of Chen Jing. His presence caused the entire audience to suck in a breath of cold air; everyone was deeply worried for Chen Jing.

On the stage, Chen Jing's heart was as calm as water. Facing the powerful Wang Chao, he did not show much fear. He brandished his sword and put on a taiji stance. He said to Wang Chao, "Senior brother Wang, please!"

"Junior brother Chen, I have great admiration for junior brother's alchemy skills. It was also thanks to junior brother's divine pills that I was able to break through the Great Perfection bottleneck. It can be said that junior brother Wang is my benefactor, and I am not an ungrateful person." "However, I really can't give up today's battle. Junior brother, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to tell me. If I frown even a bit, I won't be a good man." This Wang Chao had clearly bought the pills refined by Chen Jing. Moreover, he was a very upright person.

"Senior brother Wang is truly righteous. I am truly ashamed. For you to be able to buy our pills, you must be supporting us. How dare we ask you for help?" If Senior Apprentice Brother does not mind, after today, regardless of the result, I will make Senior Apprentice Brother a friend. However, there is one thing that I am not happy about. Senior Brother seems to have underestimated me. "Hahahaha!" Chen Jingben was a bold man. Naturally, he liked Wang Chao's personality.

"Hahahaha, junior brother is bold, but it seems like I am a petty person, good, from now on, Junior brother Chen is not only my friend, but also my worthy opponent, so today I must use all of my ability, and face junior brother's pride. "Junior brother, after you!" Since Wang Chao was able to obtain the Tyrant Blade title, he was naturally full of heroic spirit.

"Senior brother doesn't know. What I have comprehended is the Dao of Taiji. It's important to make a later decision. Senior brother, please go ahead." Chen Jing naturally could not be the first to activate it. If he was too aggressive, then he would lose the essence of Tai Chi. Of course, this did not mean that the enemy could not move. Tai Chi still had another meaning, and that was like the wind and water. It could gather energy in a whirlpool, and similarly, it could destroy Gu La and attack the city.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't hold back. Junior, look at the sabre." Hearing Chen Jing's words, Wang Chao didn't hold back. He gripped his huge saber that weighed more than a hundred kilograms and swung it in the direction of Chen Jing Tai as if he was trying to crush him.

Would you be surprised to see it here? Isn't this the Grand Dao of Taiji? Even a student from the Arts Academy, who didn't have any combat power, was able to enter the top ten. Wang Chao was too slow, he heard that Chen Jing had already comprehended Tai Chi, but he still dared to be so careless? Actually, this was because he didn't understand the reason why Wang Chao wasn't careless in the slightest!

Well, what was that? Perhaps you are still confused, then I will explain to you in detail why: whether it is the main road, the side road or the side road, it is possible to continue to develop endless new paths. This is the true meaning of the endless road, perhaps only one or several paths at the beginning, and it is because of these that the 3000 roads and millions of small paths and side roads are born. For example, the Dao of Destiny gave birth to Samsara, gave birth to karma, and at the same time, the creation ranked second also gave birth to yin and yang, life and death, balance, and reality … And so on and so forth. Of course, with Taiji as the source and foundation of Wu Dang, among the trillions of disciples, no one actually comprehended Taiji, is this still called Wu Dang? Therefore, in Wu Dang, he called the 'Taiji' method of derivation that contained the meaning of taiji. Of course, the popular name Taiji was only used to balance the great paths and paths that led to the lower ranks, while the top ten ranking Yin Yang and Life and Death also contained the meaning of Taiji. However, it wasn't called Taiji, as this was a question of status.

Therefore, when Wang Chao heard Chen Jing's words, he naturally understood that it was the derivation of the meaning of tai chi. This was also the reason why when Wanjian Yi and Huang Zhibin first heard Chen Jing's self-narration of tai chi, they weren't surprised at all. After all, if what they comprehended was yin and yang, life and death, then who would say it was tai chi? As for Taiji, what a joke. Do you think Taiji is some common good?

He said that Wang Chao had hacked down on Mount Hua with his full force. The back of his broadsword, which weighed over a hundred kilograms, carried an awe-inspiring saber light. It chopped down towards Chen Jing's head with a domineering momentum. However, over the years, with the increase of his cultivation and the experience of his life, Chen Jing's taiji sword had become more and more profound, and he could finally reach the next level. Thus, in Chen Jing's eyes, that seemingly violent and peerless blade was like a feather, he gripped the sword in his left hand lightly, drew a circle with the sword in his right hand, and placed the blade lightly on its spine, then used the Sticky Character Incantation to draw it towards the blade's body, and then drew a circle with it.

Wang Chao didn't think that he would be able to defeat Hua Shan in one move, so he naturally predicted Chen Jing's response and the moves that he had pushed forward step by step. He never thought that after the blade had already entered Chen Jing's sword aura, it would be able to break away from his control, and that his own understanding of the Dao of the Saber was also one of the three thousand. At this moment, he felt as if he had been restrained and had completely lost control. He was like a small boat in a violent storm that had been swallowed up by a huge whirlpool.

"Pah!" Wang Chao drew a beautiful arc with his saber. He followed Chen Jing's pointed sword and flew out of the arena. Unexpectedly, he landed lightly on the ground. This meant that Wang Chao, who had flown out of the arena, was still controlled by Chen Jing's sword intent.

"Shua!" The arena, which had a hundred thousand spectators, instantly went silent. Everyone opened their mouths wide in shock, unable to digest the message that came from the center of the arena.

"You, you are definitely not the Taiji Dao!" The first to speak was actually Wang Chao, who had just gotten up from the ground. The hundred thousand spectators finally reacted, "Hua!" The thunderous applause pressed down on Chen Jing until he had no choice but to give up communicating with Wang Chao. He held his sword and stood still on the stage, waiting for the referee's judgement.

In the first battle of the elimination round, Qiu Shuyun's luck in the group competition had finally run out. Luckily, relying on the scholar's underestimation of the enemy and his lecherous nature, as well as the family heirloom, the high-grade Spirit Treasure, the Cold Moon Duck Blade, Qiu Shuyun won by a fluke.

In the second battle, Qiu Shuyun had finally continued her group competition and met a contestant with a slightly weaker strength. Although it wasn't easy, it was still a clear victory and she had finally achieved her dream of entering the top 100 and obtained the opportunity to enter the mysterious space.

In the second battle, Chen Jing's luck was also pretty good. His opponent was an ordinary expert of the Spear Arts Academy, and he had won the last match by a fluke. Naturally, he didn't have any confidence in defeating an expert of the Tyrant Blade King.

In the elimination round, other than a few like Ba Dao Wang Chao who encountered a dark horse, the majority of the top hundred rankers on the Spirit Net were successfully selected. From the side, it was clear that the eyes of the outer courtyard's netizens were still bright, and of course, dark horses like Wang Fei and Chen Jing were also normal.

After the elimination round, Chen had achieved his goal, so he decided to keep a low profile. To tell the truth, if the Tyrant Blade wasn't in the elimination round, Chen Jing would definitely admit defeat and not play the role of a dark horse. Chen Jing understood that in the insignificant Clear Sky Star Competition, there were spies from Blue Spirit people. Chen Jing understood that he could not be compared to Wan Kang, Zhang Chengbin, and Qiu Shuyun. He had the protection of a Divine Tribulation Realm expert even while training in the outer court. On the other hand, how could he have any foundation? Being too eye-catching was definitely a joke that he was risking his own life.

It was a pity that the sword academy expert, Yang Lin, who was fighting against Wang Chao, paid great attention to Chen Jing, this super dark horse. He had already thoroughly researched this move of Chen Jing's, and naturally, he could not fall into the same trap as Wang Chao.

So it turned out that Chen Jing's dark horse was a fake! It was just that Wang Chao underestimated his opponent and accidentally fell into Chen Jing's trap. Otherwise, how could a disciple of the Pill Academy be a match for Ba Dao Wang Chao? All the outer court disciples thought so. Of course, the person in question was Wang Chao. However, now that Wang Chao and Chen Jing had become friends, he naturally understood Chen Jing's intentions. Thus, he admitted on the Spirit Net that he had underestimated his opponent. This time, he regretted killing the expert from the Spear Rod Academy who had taken the initiative to admit defeat. He issued a statement on the Spirit Net with tears flowing down his face: "There was an opportunity placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. It was a pity that I didn't cherish it, and only when I lost it did I regret the most painful thing in the world.
