Chapter 1984: Ranking Controversy!
At this very moment, Su Chen finally made his move!
This time, he didn’t dodge but stood quietly in place!
Suddenly, a sword slashed across the sky!
Instantly, between heaven and earth, the airwaves roared, annihilating everything!
These airwaves were different from ordinary sword Qi; the energy contained within seemed to be skyrocketing in geometrical progression every moment!
Stacking layer upon layer!
Those from the sects were stunned!
They had seen martial techniques executed, continuously gathering momentum, gradually reaching a peak, but never like this, in a geometric change!
And not just once, but continuously!
In the end, it seemed to raise a massive wave, devouring everything!
At this moment, the person from Duanhai Sect facing this sword Qi was already pale!
Not only was this sword Qi terrifying, but what made him feel even more fearful was the accompanying pale blue energy!
That pale blue energy was so mysterious, so unfathomable!
"Boom boom boom~~~~"
In the next moment, a burst of explosions resounded, shaking the earth and going straight up to the sky!
Accompanying the explosions, the endless energy surged in all directions, dissipating the air and turbulence!
At the same time, the immense power wrapped in the spear suddenly collapsed!
But differently, the sword Qi was only slightly weakened; most of it still surged madly toward the person from the Duanhai Sect!
Just as he wanted to escape, he was already swallowed by that airwave and then blown away by a tremendous impact!
Although he resisted, in the face of that overwhelming airwave, his resistance seemed so weak and futile!
And among the countless people in the square, their hearts were already indescribably excited!
When that person from Duanhai Sect used that spear, and Su Chen didn’t dodge, everyone thought it was over!
Because the power of that spear was too dominant!
But who would’ve thought that the young man’s sword was even more terrifying, almost entirely destroying the spear’s power!
Is this kid even human?!
Thinking further, he’s only at the Sixth Turn of the Divine Sea Realm, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts!
Those from Duanhai Sect were mortified to the extreme!
They thought with these two, they could definitely deal with this kid and erase the shame!
But unexpectedly, the previous shame wasn’t erased, and instead, a new shame was added!
The leading elder of the Duanhai Sect felt even more murderous!
At this moment, Yan Feiyu looked at Su Chen with interest!
To be honest, he also didn’t expect this young man to handle two opponents from Duanhai Sect!
Looking again at those two, writhing in pain off the platform, their injuries wouldn’t heal in one or two years!
He’s ruthless!
But for Su Chen, if it weren’t for the rules prohibiting killing, these two would already be dead!
At this time, the most bewildered was the person at the Supreme Realm Seventh Turn standing on the platform!
What the hell is going on?!
Did I pass?!
Made it into the top eighteen?!
Honestly, he never thought it would turn out like this!
One had to know, at this moment, other Douwu Platforms had also concluded, and those left standing were at least at the Supreme Realm Eighth Turn!
Even half of them were at the Supreme Realm Ninth Turn!
Only him was at the Supreme Realm Seventh Turn!
The people from his sect were also dumbfounded, then erupted in cheers!
His sect, relatively weak in the Ancient Dynasty, never imagined the day would come when their disciple would enter the top eighteen!
Even if that young man was their most outstanding disciple!
Indeed, they had to thank that young man!
If it weren’t for him knocking down the two from Duanhai Sect, there would be no chance for them!
Others from different sects were also amused; it was totally picking up scraps!
Nevertheless, they made it in!
Of course, Ji Ya wasn’t as lucky, despite showcasing exceptional potential!
But in the end, she was knocked off the stage by someone at the Supreme Realm Seventh Turn!
Despite the disappointment in defeat, compared to Su Chen’s safety, it was of little concern!
She was naturally happy in her heart, although the pressure was still immense, there was at least a sliver of hope!
Elder Xun had been watching Su Chen’s situation, now couldn’t help wondering:
Where exactly is this young man’s limit?!
However, such thoughts were fleeting; his main task today was to preside over and ensure the smooth conduct of the grand examination!
Now the top eighteen had emerged, it was time for the next round!
"Firstly, congratulations to those who have entered the top eighteen of this grand examination!"
Elder Xun exclaimed:
"Next, we will begin the second round of competition!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited because, in most people’s eyes, the grand examination truly began now!
Or rather, the exciting part had just begun!
"However, the rules this time are slightly different from previous years!"
Elder Xun continued:
"Based on everyone’s cultivation and the strength displayed earlier, I’ve roughly determined the top nine!"
"They are Luo Qianqiu from Lingya Sect, Zhang Xiao from Tianhan Palace, Yan Feiyu from Myriad Swords Sect, Yuwen Min from Duanhai Sect, Shi Zaitian from Black Flame Sect, Qiao Yin from Lingya Sect, Wu Chen from Overlord Martial Sect, Mo Ruofeng from Myriad Swords Sect, and Su Chen from Shenfeng Academy!"
"The tenth to eighteenth places are Wang Ye from Lingyun Sect, Zhu Yan from Duanhai Sect..., and Luo Ting from Azure Phoenix Sect!"
Upon hearing this ranking, the crowd seemed to explode!
Just then, Elder Xun waved his hand, saying:
"I know, there are surely many people dissatisfied with this ranking, even among the top nine!"
"But rest assured, the grand examination is absolutely fair and just; this time, we are implementing a challenge tournament!"
"Firstly, we will conduct the top nine’s challenge tournament; if anyone feels someone is unworthy of the top nine, you may challenge them!"
"Once victorious, you will take their place and accept challenges from others!"
These words brought a hush upon the crowd, leaving no objections!
This time using a challenge tournament was likely related to the opening of the Washing Dragon Pond!
After all, the Washing Dragon Pond was too important!
However, some were still displeased!
Actually, most people acknowledged the rankings, considering them fair enough!
The only significant dissatisfaction was with Su Chen!
Because besides him, all others were at the Supreme Realm Ninth Turn!
Especially Wang Ye from Lingyun Sect and Zhu Yan from Duanhai Sect, as they too were at the Supreme Realm Ninth Turn!
Why?!
They were unconvinced!
Even though they had just crossed the threshold of the Supreme Realm Ninth Turn, they were still solidly at that stage!
How could this kid compare?!
In truth, Elder Xun had his reasons for ranking this way; the strength Su Chen demonstrated earlier did indeed surpass his expectations of Wang Ye and Zhu Yan, who had just entered that threshold!
At least it’s close!
And clearly, Su Chen seemed more promising!
