Chapter 434: It's Better to Be Cautious, Su Chen's Body Art Isn't Bad
2024-10-03
In this tournament's format, there's a crucial point to consider.
If you have a good understanding of the young warriors present, you'll have the upper hand when choosing your opponent.
Among the three hundred participants, there are bound to be both exceptional and mediocre ones.
If you're going in blind, it's all about luck.
Meeting an evenly matched opponent isn't too bad, and you still have a chance.
But if your luck is terrible, and you encounter a core disciple from a sect, then you're out of luck. In this preliminary selection, you're likely to be the one who loses.
Su Chen randomly picked a slip from the tray.
Heavenly Wind Valley has three spots this time.
- Heaven's Blade Technique
He didn't say he couldn't win, but that he couldn't win quickly.
The people from Heavenly Wind Valley always seemed to have an air of mysterious superiority in front of him.
That's fine, no need to argue.
"Do you have such confidence in the warriors of Tiangang City? I think Ren Xiuyao can easily win."
Long Guini glanced at Su Chen beside him and then looked at their disciples.
He wrote his name on the roster and added the words "Challenger" behind it.
Standing across from Su Chen, he thanked him again.
"It's better to be cautious, Su Chen's body art isn't bad."
Ren Xiuyao seemed quite confident in his body art skills.
With a little arrangement, they could accommodate everyone. Moreover, in the first round of the tournament, there would definitely be many uneven matches.
He observed the others' moves to identify the weaker defenders.
Those called out would wait in a designated area on the open ground.
The sword flowers were intimidating, sending chills down their spines.
Long Guini seemed to have more to say, some reminders perhaps.
In the center of the open area, the City Lord of Xilin City was about to finish his formalities.
Two years ago, he might have had a back-and-forth match with Ren Xiuyao.
Hearing this, Long Guini's face remained filled with a smile.
In the center of the open area, the City Lord of Xilin City gave the signal to start.
The cultivation of the Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue was already much better than others.
By observing, he could identify the weaker ones among the formidable opponents.
The draw ended.
He had just glanced at two people who wanted to snatch the slip.
After the draw, as they wrote on the roster, the people from Heavenly Wind Valley quickly looked over.
Xiao Qiying and Zeng Qing's match had decent luck, and they should win the first round.
If he didn't act soon, Skywing Tower would question him.
Wait for your turn, quickly identify your opponent, and don't let others take them.
When a draw occurs, the defenders will be targeted.
Winning against Ren Xiuyao didn't bring him any joy.
Outside the north gate of Xilin City, the open area was very spacious.
During this exchange, Ren Xiuyao's gaze couldn't help but turn to Su Chen again.
Not having much initiative wasn't ideal, but it was still acceptable.
Soon, all 120 challengers had chosen their opponents.
The people from Heavenly Wind Valley were right beside Su Chen.
Drawing this slip meant he could only wait for someone to challenge him.
Ren Xiuyao, who had a graceful figure, turned into a boulder that was struck and sent flying.
Long Yunyun's family and the disciples from Heavenly Wind Valley who followed them.
But after such a long time, the progress of Tiangang City's disciples couldn't compare to the disciples of Heavenly Wind Valley.
"This time, I'm truly grateful."
Hearing Long Guini's words, Ren Xiuyao nodded.
Those who thought they were good quickly made their moves.
"I feel that Brother Xiu Yao can win with just two moves."
In fact, it was just standing in front of the defender, indicating that he wanted to challenge.
When talking to her, it always seemed like there was anger in her words.
They needed to quickly defeat their opponents and then observe others' matches.
Instead, they could take the opportunity to check the roster and see what slip Su Chen had drawn.
"Looking at him, he seems even more confident than us."
The entire process took over two hours, which was relatively fast.
Ordinary and unremarkable.
Of course, if it took four hours without a winner, it would be considered a draw.
In front of Mu Dan Ying, Long Guini once again had that superior attitude.
When facing Su Chen, she should try to be quick.
In the center of the open area, the City Lord of Xilin City arrived.
Regarding the move Su Chen just used, she even had a bit of admiration.
That confidence seemed to have been shaken at first, but now it was restored.
In just a few moves, the winner would be decided.
Hearing this, Long Guini thought for a moment, seeming to agree.
Despite being a direct disciple of Tianfeng Valley, there was no need for him to lower himself before Long Guiye.
In the entire Zhou Kingdom, there was only one Sixth Stage Perfection disciple.
Unfolding the paper, only two words were written: "Challenge."
After seizing the opportunity to challenge, Ren Xiuyao heaved a sigh of relief.
Especially those three from the Long family, they were brimming with confidence.
According to the rules, the duration of the match was set to a maximum of four quarters of an hour.
This tournament didn't occupy much space, and it would soon free up the area.
It wasn't considered a loss or a win.
Ren Xiuyao pretended not to hear and ignored him.
Upon hearing these words, Ren Xiuyao's expression still held a lot of concern.
"I want to win against him, but the chances of doing it quickly are slim."
In other words, the faster he won, the longer the time he would have to observe others' matches.
Ren Xiuyao, defeated in one move, unconscious. Who could have imagined that the outcome would be like this?
Moreover, his previous excellent performance in the Quicksand Treasure Land further boosted his confidence.
Seeing that Su Chen drew the defender, Ren Xiuyao still expended some effort to seize the challenge qualification.
Indeed, it was impossible.
After the tournament began, I couldn't give you verbal cues; you'd have to pay slight attention to my gestures.
His figure flickered.
This disciple, Long Yunyun's highly regarded senior brother.
Long Guiye, as the leading Hall Master, seemed to be completely unconcerned.
Seemingly noticing that Su Chen was urging him, Ren Xiuyao preemptively reached out to stop him.
Moreover, he had to feign a nonchalant demeanor.
But soon, Ren Xiuyao saw Long Guiye's gesture reminder.
Although Long Guiye was the Hall Master, this time he led the team.
The tournament officially started.
Seeing this, Long Guiye couldn't help but smile and scold him.
He was the most gifted young man among Yunyun's generation."
If no one challenged him, it would be highly likely that no one would come to challenge him.
The moment they clashed, it was evident that Ren Xiuyao and Su Chen were not of the same level as warriors.
There was nothing to worry about; as long as he was clear in his heart, that was enough."
Again, he expressed his gratitude.
"Then, when you fight him, slightly observe the situation of others' matches around you."
For the Sacred Jade Tournament, he wasn't completely unqualified either.
As they talked, it seemed like Su Chen was just a stepping stone.
Seemingly in no hurry to launch an attack on Su Chen.
Looking at others like Xiao Qiying and Zeng Qing, they could only hope for those who came to challenge.
Ren Xiuyao's sword techniques were actually not bad, indicating that he had some foundation.
It seemed like a draw, but it was a mutual loss.
But being this weak, he had to win against his opponent.
"Don't be hasty, wait a moment."
In reality, Su Chen was just leisurely waiting for the tournament to officially begin.
After expending a lot of energy, he gained nothing.
On the city wall, a peculiar horn sounded.
Ren Xiuyao wanted to easily win the tournament, but the odds were not in his favor.
But now? With just one move, Su Chen directly kicked him away.
In the previous discussion, they were still saying that Ren Xiuyao couldn't easily defeat Su Chen.
Among the disciples of Tiangang City, the strongest, Gu Feng, was only at the intermediate level of the sixth stage.
On the outskirts, Long Yunyun's lips curled up in a faint smile.
He thought Su Chen would notice them.
His agility techniques were cunning, and his sword moves carried a hint of mystery.
His two fellow disciples, compared to himself, were much more unfortunate.
After hearing that Tiangang City's strongest disciple was only at the intermediate level of the sixth stage, he was indeed confident now.
Ren Xiuyao's gaze swept left and right, worried that others would compete with him for Su Chen.
Now, it was Ren Xiuyao's turn, the most predictable match.
"Challenging, he's challenging,"
The longsword in his hand was sharp, and between the flickering sword shadows, it seemed to condense into a flower.
He didn't know what they were thinking.
Thinking of this, Long Guini tried to show his concern for them.
Ren Xiuyao glanced at Su Chen and then spoke to Long Guini.
If Ren Xiuyao chose his opponent wisely, he actually had a chance.
Moreover, the techniques he cultivated were far superior to those of Tian Feng Valley.
In the previous tournament, he had the upper hand and took the lead.
After a while, Long Guini seemed to snap back to his senses.
On the outskirts, Long Guini and the other two were all watching Ren Xiuyao's side.
Having grabbed the opportunity to spar with Su Chen, he believed he had already won a match.
It seemed difficult for him to even stand up.
His bizarre sword moves, like flowers in the sword shadows, were not due to the mystery of his sword techniques.
Seeing this, Ren Xiuyao finally raised the longsword in his hand and pointed it at Su Chen.
"Xiuyao, you drew a challenge, and Qiying and Zeng Qing are both challenging."
Previously, he had thought so much about who to choose as his next opponent.
If Ren Xiuyao and the others could speak well of Long Guini in front of the elders after returning, that would be even better.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. No one could have imagined that Ren Xiuyao would lose so badly. It's not that he shouldn't have lost, but rather, no one expected him to lose.
After falling to the ground and rolling around, this sudden situation finally stopped, even surprising some who were still in the middle of their matches.
This was Long Guini's first time leading a team after being promoted to the head of the clan.
But the next moment, Su Chen had already appeared by his side, kicking him in the waist.
To avoid others discovering their intentions, they rushed to challenge Su Chen.
"Rest assured, the chances of you passing are much higher than theirs."
I'll keep an eye on those who are slightly weaker."
Moreover, this was Ren Xiuyao.
"Don't worry, these people from Tiangang City are all habitually overconfident."
Just wait here, and you'll pass directly.
Next up was the sparring match.
Indeed, one should be content.
Ren Xiuyao, Xiao Qiying, and another disciple whom Su Chen had no impression of.
Many times, confidence in oneself can give one a tremendous boost."
You only need to focus on one person."
Beside them, Long Yunyun also walked up to Ren Xiuyao and whispered words of encouragement.
"Xiuyao, you're already lucky enough. At least this has guaranteed you a sure-win opponent."
As Su Chen's opponent, there was a hint of helplessness on his face.
Long Guini's family called out to Ren Xiuyao, and they all headed towards Su Chen's waiting position.
When it was the next person's turn to draw lots, Long Yunyun's family, along with the people from Tian Feng Valley, rushed over to take their spot.
Most people wouldn't ask for a draw.
Being able to achieve a good result would also give him face.
He quickly ran in and carried Ren Xiuyao out.
The core personally taught disciples of Tian Feng Valley.
For a quarter of an hour, all challengers had to choose their opponents.
Ren Xiuyao, standing before Su Chen, looked left and right.
Arranging things like this right in front of Su Chen.
"If possible, I'd like you to learn from this Su Chen as well."
In an instant, Ren Xiuyao had already leaped forward.
But in front of Su Chen, he was indeed inferior.
Long Guini's heart was stifled, and in his hesitation, he shouted towards the people at Skywing Tower in the distance.
"Honorable one, this child's performance just now was somewhat strange.
In the Sacred Jade Competition, aside from weapons, the use of other offensive artifacts is prohibited.
Moreover, this child is from Zhou Kingdom. How did he come to our Jin Kingdom's Sacred Jade Competition?"
