Jiang Wang was stunned. This was an absolutely confident answer.
From his tone, it seemed that even Huang Qi was only a small goal.
Could it be that his goal was to be in the top five?
Or the top three?
However, the Yuelun Sect had already been defeated, and Jiang Wang’s older brother, Jiang Yun, had also been defeated. There were fewer and fewer disciples from the outside world now.
“You can do it!”
Jiang Wang had thought it through. He had already gained a lot by coming here, so there was no need to worry about it.
“Okay.”
Victor casually agreed. For him, the competition had just begun.
Huang Qi had already hinted that the strength of the seven personal disciples was indefinite, and there was a big gap between them. Huang Qi even admitted that some of them were superior to him.
..
Three days later.
The sun had yet to rise, and the sky was only just beginning to brighten. Many people had already gathered in the square in front of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
The peak masters of the various peaks of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, the teachers of the ten great cultivation families, the sect masters or elders of the external sects, and many disciples.
“The standard of this year’s grand competition should be the highest compared to the past three years!”
“Of course. Didn’t you see that even the Green Dragon Mountain sent an envoy?”
“I heard that the people from the Green Dragon Mountain came here for a special purpose. They didn’t come specifically to watch our grand competition…”
“I don’t know about that. Speaking of which, how’s the ranking of your Illusionary Sword Peak?”
“Uh… It’s alright.”
..
The sun finally rose slowly. The referee for the final match was already standing in the center of the field.
This person was in the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm. He was one of the inner elders of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
After the rules were read out, the finals officially began.
The voice of the referee was extremely loud, and the entire field could clearly hear his voice.
“Victor, just try your best. If you can’t beat your opponent, don’t try to be brave, don’t let yourself get hurt.” Song Xiuwen sent Victor to the contestant area and repeatedly instructed.
“I understand.”
Victor walked to the participant area and sat down on a chair. The first match soon began.
The participants were neither seeded nor core disciples of other peaks. Although it was a fierce fight, the audience was obviously disappointed.
While the intense fight was ongoing, a handsome man holding a folding fan suddenly sneered at Victor.
“You’re Victor?”
“I’m Nangong Zifeng, the core disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain’s Molten Spirit Peak!”
“I don’t think I know you?”
“It’s okay if you don’t know me. I know who you are. Because of you, my brother missed this important competition!”
Victor remembered the kid he defeated at the East Ocean Restaurant. His name was Nangong Aotian.
However, Victor didn’t hit him too hard at that time. It was entirely Nangong Aotian’s own fault that he suffered such a serious injury.
Sensing the intense hostility of Nangong Zifeng, Victor said coldly, “The reason your brother was injured to such extent was because he used a move that he couldn’t control and suffered a backlash. It had nothing to do with me.”
“Nothing to do with you? Hmmph, if it wasn’t for your attack, how could my brother’s Ash Black Flame lose control!”
“So you’re saying that I should stretch my neck and wait for your brother’s attack? What if I’m not strong enough to deal with his Ash Black Flame? Wouldn’t I be burnt to ashes?”
Nangong Zifeng laughed out loud, “This world is originally a world of strength. Whoever is stronger will set the rules. I’m stronger than you, so naturally, I’ll be the one to set the rules!”
“You think you are stronger than me?” Victor smiled faintly.
“We will know very soon. Our battle will begin in the fourth round!” After saying that, Nangong Zifeng left in large strides.
At the same time, the outcome of the competition on the stage had already been decided.
Very soon, a few matches passed just like that. There were no famous people on the stage.
In the fourth round, Victor faced Nangong Zifeng.
Nangong Zifeng was the third-ranking disciple of the Molten Spirit Peak, and he had won all of the group matches.
Victor had won all of them, but… In the eyes of the audience, although Victor was a genius, compared to the seven personal disciples, the was still a huge gap.
During the preliminaries, Victor defeated Jiang Wang in two moves but wasn’t credited with many points. After all, Jiang Wang had no hope of entering the top 20 thus defeating Jiang Wang didn’t mean anything.
However, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Sword Mountain were paying close attention to this match.
They paid special attention to Victor. Victor was terrifyingly young!
Especially the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, Zhao Chengtian. He had already sent people to investigate Victor’s past.
After this investigation, Zhao Chengtian was even more shocked. Victor was actually a commoner cultivator who rose up in the Qingyun Sect without any background. It was simply incredible that he achieved such a result!
After Nangong Zifeng entered the arena, it immediately attracted the cheers of many disciples, especially some female disciples who did not have many talents. They were continuously cheering.
These people had limited talent and had always dreamed of marrying core disciples. However, core disciples like the Sword Control Peak and Sword Forging Peak were either focused on cultivation or focused on their sword forging skills.
There was no hope of getting close to those disciples. With that, the disciples of the Molten Spirit Peak would naturally be in great demand.
Compared to Nangong Zifeng, Victor’s cheers were much lesser.
Nangong Zifeng and Victor looked at each other.
Nangong Zifeng sneered, “I heard that you haven’t drawn your sword yet. You’re hiding your trump card. Now that you’re facing me, I advise you not to hold back. If you have any moves, you’d better use them as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won’t stand a chance!”
“I don’t intend to hide my trump card. I’m just looking for the need to use it.”
“Hmmph, you’re really extremely arrogant! I’ve fought all the way here, but only one person managed to force me to draw my sword. I want to see what kind of trump card you have to let you have the guts to say such words!”
As Nangong Zifeng spoke, he took out a green longsword from his storage ring. The sword faintly emitted a faint spiritual power fluctuation.
Victor smiled. You want me to unsheathe my sword?
Let’s see if you have the ability to make me unsheathe the Sword first!
Victor narrowed his eyes. Then, a sword light appeared in his eyes.
Nangong Zifeng had long anticipated that Victor would use his sword force to attack. He sneered and shook his wrist. Countless ghostly sounds could be heard coming from the blade of the sword. They were like the flames of hell.
Victor’s attack was blocked by these flaming ghosts.
Bang Bang Bang!
The flaming ghosts that were broken by the sword energy expanded like a balloon and exploded.
However, as soon as the flaming ghosts had exploded, a new flaming ghost appeared. Victor’s sword force had broken more than ten of them at once, but even so, it still couldn’t reach Nangong Zifeng.
“If you are only using your sword force to attack, then you’ll disappoint me!”
As Nangong Zifeng spoke, dark red flames appeared all over his body. The flames burned fiercely, and the tongues of flames shot out to several feet high, enveloping Nangong Zifeng within.
“Ash Black Flame.”
Victor easily recognized this move. Back in the East Ocean Restaurant, Nangong Aotian had also used it, and he had suffered a great loss because of it.
