Chapter 621: Chapter 631: Battle Against the Three-star Sword God
Inside the Sword Array, it’s all about strength.
Chu Feng’s strength allows him to instantly defeat those at the One-star Sword God Level, which could be said to be incredibly powerful. He continued to surge forward and, relying on his tremendous strength, quickly broke out of the Sword Array.
"Congratulations, Contestant No. 2999 Chu Feng, you have passed the preliminary selection and obtained the finals qualification! You are the thirty-first to break through the Sword Array. You need to first ascend to Arena No. 31 to defend. After being defeated or successfully defending one match, you can voluntarily give up your position as defender and instead challenge other arenas."
"However, I must remind you that this is an excellent opportunity to earn Merit points. Defending the first round, you can gain three thousand Merit points, for the second round six thousand points, and for the third round twelve thousand points... and so on, with the Merit points doubling for each additional round you defend."
At the exit of the Sword Array, several powerful Inner Sect Guardians stood, recording the names of each person who successfully broke through the Sword Array.
I really didn’t expect that coming out early would have such great benefits.
One can become an Arena Master and then earn Merit points.
"Junior Brother, are you afraid of defending the arena? If you give up, we will register it and then pass the right to defend to the next person who breaks out of the Sword Array."
Seeing Chu Feng not immediately responding, they thought he was afraid to defend the arena.
"No, no, such a good opportunity, I definitely won’t refuse. This extra reward for earning Merit points is just too tempting. It makes me so happy."
Naturally, Chu Feng would not refuse such a good deal and hurriedly agreed with a smile.
He immediately ran towards Arena No. 31.
"Kid, I didn’t expect you to be so fast. Not only did you break through the Sword Array, but you were only slightly slower than me." When Chu Feng climbed onto Arena No. 31, a cold voice came from the neighboring arena.
It was Yan Qing.
This person’s strength is truly formidable. Despite entering the Sword Array later than Chu Feng, he came out a step ahead.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Chu Feng deliberately irritated Yan Qing, starting to imitate a chicken’s crow again.
Because every time Yan Qing spoke to him, with an air of superiority, it made him very uncomfortable.
This kind of mocking retaliation was undoubtedly the most satisfying.
"Oh your ma..." Yan Qing almost passed out with anger, his nose nearly crooked. Now, what he hated most was hearing someone imitating a chicken’s crow.
Because that bastard Chu Feng compared him to a proud rooster.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Chu Feng crowed again, raising his neck.
"Wow, wow... stop crowing, I’m almost going insane!" Yan Qing couldn’t help exclaiming in frustration.
Just then, many disciples who had broken through the Sword Array started to leap onto various arenas to become Arena Masters.
The battle for the Earth Rankings involved both Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, and the competition was extremely fierce.
The figure of Han Shuang appeared in Chu Feng’s line of sight.
Her strength was originally not weak, and her cultivation of Asura Eighteen Slashes was particularly sharp. Plus, with her Sword Saint Cultivation, it was not surprising that she could stand out and break out so quickly.
However, although she was only about a quarter of an hour slower than Chu Feng, her ranking was already in the one hundred and sixties.
This was quite far behind.
Chu Feng watched as she climbed onto Arena No. 167.
After about half an hour, Han Dong and others also finally broke through the Sword Array. Roughly speaking, those who could break through had done so already.
Those who couldn’t break through were basically eliminated.
The figures of Sect Master Pu Li, Sima Zhen, and others appeared among the crowd. Their strengths were not weak, so it was not surprising that they could break out.
Pu Li even became an Arena Master, defending Arena No. 121.
"The preliminary selection has ended; a total of two thousand six hundred twenty-four have qualified for the finals. The finals will now begin, and the rules are the same as for the Heavenly List competition."
The Sect Master announced loudly.
Immediately, a powerful Inner Sect competitor with notable strength walked straight toward the arena where Chu Feng was.
This person had the cultivation of a Three-star Sword God.
He reached the front of Chu Feng’s arena and turned his head to look towards the Heavenly List area.
Chu Feng followed the gaze of the man and discovered that Qin Shan and Han Sheng were looking in this direction with cold sneers on their faces.
Currently, Han Sheng is defending the No. 2 arena and shockingly, no one dares to challenge him.
As for Qin Shan, he is not competing in the arena for the time being. His strength in the Inner Sect is definitely not top-notch, plus he is known to be cunning and sly. It’s very likely that he is just waiting for his chance.
Waiting for the moment when the one defending the arena is exhausted, and then he would make his move to reap the benefits.
In the Inner Sect’s No. 1 arena, Si Huang sits proudly cross-legged in the void, her eyes closed in cultivation, comprehending the Supreme Sword Dao. She truly is diligent, not willing to waste even a moment of time.
Every second and every minute is spent on cultivating.
Faintly, one could see a sword lotus appearing beneath her.
The mere sight of such an extraordinary scene was enough to deter many who wanted to challenge her from even attempting it.
"Kid, get the hell off!"
The Inner Sect expert challenging Chu Feng is a middle-aged man around forty years old. With broad shoulders and a robust build, but not particularly tall, he looks quite stocky.
"With your Three-star Sword God strength, plus the status of an Inner Sect disciple, it seems more fitting for you to challenge the arenas ranked within the top ten, no?" Chu Feng already understood that these two must have been sent by Qin Shan and Han Sheng to deal with him, his enemy.
"Quit your babbling, once I have taken you down, it won’t be too late to fight for the No. 1 arena," the brawny man huffed coldly.
"Was it Han Sheng who sent you to die?" Chu Feng deliberately provoked his opponent, searching for a chance to exploit his weakness.
If he were to be defeated in his first match, it would be too much of a loss.
"Humph, since you know, then submit to death obediently," the brawny man roared as he struck with his sword towards Chu Feng.
This is a Three-star Sword God, and without considering anything else, just the oppressive force of his Sword Domain is terrifying enough.
"Sword Soul, appear!"
After the brawny man deployed his Sword Domain, that wasn’t all—he even condensed his Sword Soul.
One could only see streaks of sword light in the void condensing into a giant hammer.
This was the Giant Hammer Sword Soul.
"So this is how a Sword Soul is condensed!"
Chu Feng watched the entire process intently, not missing a single detail.
Boom!
Chu Feng did not sit idly by awaiting demise; instead, he took the initiative to strike. His enemy’s strength was terrifying, and he had to give it his all.
"Slash!"
Seeing Chu Feng charging at him, the brawny man manipulated his sword light, ruthlessly slashing towards Chu Feng.
Boom Boom!
The Giant Hammer Sword Soul and the sword light unleashed by the brawny man merged into one.
Their might was so formidable it was as if heaven and earth were splitting apart.
Chu Feng genuinely wondered if this brawny man was actually a blacksmith? His attacks were excessively violent.
"Break!"
Although Chu Feng had also condensed the Dharma Bell Sword Form, he did not defensively stand by. He took an active approach and met the attack head-on.
He executed the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.
Moreover, he integrated the first three levels into a single strike, making the power behind this sword remarkably considerable.
Adding onto that, Chu Feng possessed the Nine Yang Sword Veins, with all Nine Meridians moving together.
He indeed had the power to fight.
Bang!
The sword lights from both combatants collided fiercely. The ground shook, the mountains quivered, and if the arena weren’t reinforced by an Array, it would have probably collapsed by now.
Chu Feng’s sword light seemed much weaker, but it was very firm and managed to scatter the opponent’s sword light.
