The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 110 Top Ten Seeded Players
Gu Yuan's voice naturally reached the ears of everyone at the Xuankong Mountain, the martial arts arena next door.

Upon hearing this, all the Feitian Demon Sect disciples looked at Gu Yuan with admiration.

The disciples of Xuankong Mountain were filled with indignation.

Even Sikong Sheng himself was no exception.

"You think you're strong?"

He looked at Gu Yuan with a gloomy expression.

"At least it won't be too difficult to defeat you."

Gu Yuan's eyes were as calm as water, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense.

In the void, Sikong Sheng's gaze and Gu Yuan's gaze collided with each other, creating countless imaginary electric sparks, neither of them giving in.

After a few blinks, both of them looked away.

"What a Nanlin Sword Master." Sikong Sheng snorted coldly, his face looking a little unhappy. Although Gu Yuan's cultivation had not yet reached his level, his vision was even more powerful. It seemed that there was no winner just now, but in fact he had fallen into a disadvantage. No wonder people in the martial arts world compared him to Xuan Hou.

However, as long as he has not yet refined the half-step true essence, Sikong Sheng is absolutely sure to defeat his opponent.

On the other side, Gu Yuan looked as calm and composed as ever. He just glanced at Ye Chen, and the other party happened to look over at him.

"We meet again as expected. I hope your strength will not disappoint me."

The ancient source of true energy transmitted the message.

"Each each other."

Ye Chen's competitive spirit was also inspired by Gu Yuan.

Yan Chihuo and Lin Yun looked at Sikong Sheng at the same time.

"This time, I, the Fire Spirit Prince, will not only defeat that fellow Gu Yuan, but I will also defeat you and raise the dragon vein energy to nine feet, Sikong Sheng, wait for me!"

"Except for this guy Gu Yuan, no matter who it is, they will fall into the hands of me, Lin Yun. As for the dragon vein energy, it doesn't matter if I give up a portion of it."

The first place on the Hidden Dragon List is supreme, and Yan Chihuo has long regarded it as a sure thing. As for Lin Yun, although he lost to Gu Yuan, if he can defeat Sikong Sheng and get second place, it would be worth the trip.

The ranking tournament has not yet begun, and many young people are looking at each other with naked fighting spirit in their eyes, without any concealment.

Murong Qingcheng glanced at Sikong Sheng, then looked at Ye Chen who was considered "very strong" by Gu Yuan, and finally looked at Gu Yuan himself. She thought to herself that if nothing unexpected happened, the top three of this year's Hidden Dragon List should be among these three.

Tuoba Ku also looked at these three people. In his eyes, these three people were the ones he could not understand the most and were very terrifying. Needless to say, Sikong Sheng's strength was number one in the last session, and his attack power was strong and obvious to all. Then there was Gu Yuan. He was the only one among the people present who could match Sikong Sheng's attack power or even surpass it. What was even more terrifying was his defense. He asked himself if he did not give it his all, he would definitely not be able to withstand Lin Yun's Blood Flame Break.

But Gu Yuan easily resolved it with just the protective Qi, which is really terrifying when you think about it.

As for Ye Chen, if Sikong Sheng is a flying dragon, known to everyone in the world, and Gu Yuan is a demon dragon from hell, unfathomable, then Ye Chen is a hidden dragon lurking in the abyss. Until the critical moment, no one knows how much potential he can unleash.

Of course, Tuoba Ku did not underestimate other young giants, such as Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan, Lin Yun, and even Murong Qingcheng and Bing Ling. None of them were easy to deal with.

It was because Mo Yan, who was defeated by him, was relatively weaker.

Others will have to try it to find out.

"You really don't know until you come out. Once you come out, you will be shocked. There are too many masters. It's not easy to fight your way out."

Tuoba Ku sighed in his heart.

At another competition arena, Bing Ling frowned. Before coming here, her goal was to be in the top three. Now, she had no hope of being in the top three. She could still fight for the top five, but it would be more difficult than she imagined. There was a three-day break between the elimination round and the ranking round, so that the participating warriors would have enough time to recover their combat power to their peak state.

Three days passed in a flash.

On the morning of the fourth day, the auditorium was packed with people.

Looking at the six arenas in the abyss, they had already merged into one, forming a rectangular arena about three or four hundred meters long and wide. The arena was surrounded by a light curtain, and below it was a deep abyss with surging air currents, so deep that one could not see the bottom.

The rules of the ranking competition are also simple.

There are a total of seventy-one rounds, with thirty-six games in each round.

That is to say, each of the 72 masters on the list must compete with the other 71 people.

At the same time, before the start of the game, thirteen judges will vote to select ten seeded players, and the confrontation between the seeded players will be in the last nine rounds and will not be advanced.

In this way, the most exciting game is saved for the end, which also gives people a sense of anticipation.

The Qianlong Ranking competition can be called a success.

Just look, when everyone is still not back to normal, the referees of the original twelve groups in the first stage of the knockout stage are already discussing the candidates for the top ten seeded players with the chief referee.

"Gu Yuan and Si Kong Sheng must come in."

"There are also Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan, and Lin Yun."

"Murong Qingcheng, Bingling, Tuoba Ku."

"Mo Yan is also qualified."

"Well, there are already nine seeded players now. I think Ye Chen is definitely a seeded player. If he is not selected, others will think there is something fishy going on."

In the end, the top ten seeded players were decided.

They are: Sikong Sheng, Gu Yuan, Ye Chen, Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan, Lin Yun, Murong Qingcheng, Bing Ling, Tuoba Ku and Mo Yan.

Because of the appearance of Gu Yuan, there was no situation like in the original book where the author was struggling over whether to choose the last seed player, Qian Yun or Gu Youyun.

No one was surprised by this result, even Qian Yun, who looked calm, did not say anything.

Not to mention that the thirteen referees are all powerful people in the Star Realm with excellent eyesight. Any one of the ten people mentioned above would be beyond his ability to deal with.

Although the Luoxia Sect's leader and the elders were very unhappy with this result, they could do nothing about it.

After all, Gu Youyun, whose strength is similar to Qian Yun, was not ranked among the seeded players. What can they say?

As the chief referee announced the ten seeded players, the ranking competition officially began.

The result was just as the chief referee announced. Until the last nine rounds, none of the top ten seeded players had lost a single game.

Even Qian Yun, Gu Youyun, Zhang Feng, who ranked ninth in the previous session, and Gu Qing, who ranked tenth in the previous session, were no exception when they met them.

Time passed quietly, and it was the afternoon of the third day in a flash.

After defeating all the contestants except the other nine of the top ten seeded contestants, Gu Yuan's dragon-shaped phantom grew stronger than ever before, growing to about 78 feet. Ye Chen was 75 feet, Sikong Sheng was 86 feet, Yan Chihuo was 82 feet, Li Daoxuan was 80 feet, Lin Yun was 80 feet, Mo Yan and Bing Ling were slightly inferior, all 78 feet like Gu Yuan.

Tuoba Ku’s score was 73 feet, Murong Qingcheng’s score was 74 feet, and the others had lost too many battles.

Except for the eleventh, the twelfth place is already confirmed to be Gu Youyun and Qian Yun.
