Chapter 340: Chapter 282: On-Site Demonstration of Sword Technique, How Could the Rule Breathing Technique Be So Weak_3

This strike turned the tide.

"Ye Family’s Ye Wufeng wins!"

The female referee’s beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise; she hadn’t expected that in such a disadvantageous situation, someone from the Ye Family could still turn the tables and win. She hesitated for a few seconds before regaining her composure to announce the result of this battle.

"I concede." Ye Wufeng sheathed his sword and cupped his hands.

These words grated on Zhou Ji’s ears, causing his face to flush red before he finally snorted coldly and left.

"Worthless." Sima Lin snorted coldly as he looked at Zhou Ji.

Hearing such words and feeling the gazes from others in the Martial Hall, Zhou Ji’s face turned even redder, but when he thought about Sima Lin’s status, he could only remain silent, lowering his head.

Su Mu took in this scene with his peripheral vision, nodding silently. This Sima Lin was indeed as described in the information he had gathered.

Spiteful, sharp-tongued... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Next, the Celestial Pride from Saint Martial University, the Southern War Zone, the Martial Arts Association, and the Martial Hall took the stage one after another. The victories and losses between the strong were decided swiftly, as dozens of exchanges could occur within a single breath, and even the slightest gap in strength would be magnified several times in such fierce battles.

After the second round ended, half of the contestants were eliminated.

Each of those eliminated was considered a Celestial Pride by the outside world, but today they could only play supporting roles, even ones whose names might not be remembered.

The third round began quickly, and by this point, only twenty-five people remained on stage. Only three people from the Celestial Pride List remained, excluding Su Mu and Ye Wanqing.

Of the top ten from the Celestial Pride List, only the third-place Gu Chen, the eighth-place Duan Xue, and the tenth-place Xiao Changhe made it to the third round.

The remaining contestants were Celestial Prides secretly cultivated by top powers such as the Saint Martial Hall, the Martial Arts Association, war zones, and Martial Arts Families.

"It’s down to just the three of us," Xiao Changhe couldn’t help but sigh.

Gu Chen, ranked third on the Celestial Pride List, originally had a bye, but he gave it up this time, intending to defeat other geniuses along the way to build momentum.

He wanted to challenge Ye Wanqing again!

Though all three were on the Celestial Pride List, Gu Chen and Duan Xue came from Martial Arts Families, while Xiao Changhe did not.

Reaching this point, Xiao Changhe became more aware of the gap between him and true Celestial Prides. It was clear that the real strong ones were probably hidden within these top powers. Without the support of any power, it’s hard to go far on the Martial Arts path.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changhe couldn’t help but glance at Su Mu, a deep admiration showing on his face.

At least Xiao Changhe had the resource favor of Saint Martial University, but what about Su Mu?

After being defeated by Ye Wanqing, Xiao Changhe went to learn more about Ye Wanqing’s final opponent, Su Mu, and what he discovered startled him.

Su Mu’s background was exceptionally humble, attending only the unremarkable Shenjiang Martial Arts University and had even worked as a security guard for almost ten years.

Although Su Mu later joined the Southern War Zone, he’s been there for less than a year. His rise has mostly been due to his own efforts, rather than the nurturing of a major power.

"I hope he can go further!"

Feeling Xiao Changhe’s gaze, Su Mu, who was observing Ye Wufeng with interest, glanced back and nodded slightly.

But that one glance made Xiao Changhe shiver all over...

Suddenly, Xiao Changhe got the illusion that he was like a blank sheet of paper, completely seen through by Su Mu in an instant.

"Could this be possible?"

"Impossible... Even though he is currently number one on the Celestial Pride List, his strength shouldn’t be this terrifying, right?!"

"Right, it must be an illusion!"

Xiao Changhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva; even when he recently came face-to-face with Ye Family’s Ye Wuhen, he didn’t experience such a tingling in his scalp.
