Conquer the game world

Chapter 153 Group Stage Qualification
Yu Hao was now in a difficult position. If it were just Ye Feng's ordinary punch, he would have had no trouble blocking it.

However, Yu Hao did not expect Ye Feng's soul attack to be so powerful, which directly penetrated his defensive barrier. Yu Hao was hit by the soul attack and immediately lost the ability to resist.

"This guy attacked Yu Hao with his soul first, otherwise Yu Hao wouldn't have been able to withstand such an attack," the onlookers analyzed.

"Damn, Ye Feng is only a Spirit Form martial artist, right? This soul attack can't even be defended against by a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist? How can he fight? Even an inner disciple would definitely lose to that guy with this strength."

"Who knows? Maybe he just has a stronger soul force. As long as we can withstand his soul force attacks, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right. Even if a soul attack can defeat a mid-stage Spirit God, it can't defeat a late-stage Spirit God, right? I think this guy is definitely helpless against a late-stage Spirit God. Besides, some martial artists have special treasures to defend against soul attacks."

"That's something only inner disciples can have. We have neither the strength nor the defensive treasures. I think we should just give up when we encounter this guy. Anyway, we can advance from the group stage, so one more game won't make a difference."

Jiang Wuyai was very satisfied with Ye Feng's performance. Ye Feng had instantly killed Han Sect Master's disciple, which had earned Jiang Wuyai a lot of face. More importantly, judging from Ye Feng's performance, he would definitely have no problem going to the inner sect to participate in the martial arts competition.

After witnessing Ye Feng's performance, subsequent opponents had even less desire to resist. Upon seeing Ye Feng, they almost always chose to give up without hesitation. As for Yu Hao, although he was defeated by Ye Feng, he was still very strong. Apart from losing to Ye Feng, Yu Hao had almost never lost again.

Until Yu Hao met Wang Qinian.

Although Wang Qinian was only at the early stage of the Spirit God realm, Yu Hao dared not be careless, after all, the other party was an inner disciple, whose strength was inherently stronger than that of ordinary disciples.

"The wind of the blade."

Yu Hao immediately unleashed his powerful martial arts skills, and Wang Qinian also drew his sword. Facing an opponent like Yu Hao, Wang Qinian dared not be careless.

"Peerless Sword".

Wang Qinian also unleashed his powerful martial arts skills and began a fierce battle with Yu Hao.

The battle between the two sides was extremely intense, arguably the most exciting fight since the start of the competition. They exchanged dozens of blows, and the powerful collision of their true energy caused the surrounding air to become chaotic.

"Defeat him!"

Wang Qinian seized an opportunity, shouted loudly, and slashed out with his sword. Yu Hao seemed unprepared for this sword strike and could only barely defend himself. In fact, Yu Hao's true energy had been greatly depleted in the previous series of exchanges, and at this moment it was no longer sufficient for him to use powerful martial arts techniques.

"boom."

In the end, Wang Qinian blasted Yu Hao off the stage with a single sword strike. Yu Hao crashed heavily to the ground, covered in blood, indicating that he had been seriously injured.

"Yu Hao."

Sect Master Han nervously approached Yu Hao and took out a pill from his person, which Yu Hao then swallowed. After taking the pill, Yu Hao's complexion improved noticeably, indicating that the pill was indeed very precious.

Seeing that Yu Hao's injuries were under control, Sect Leader Han turned around and glared angrily at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian had clearly used excessive force in that attack, otherwise Yu Hao wouldn't have been so badly injured.

"Boy, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Sect Master Han's aura suddenly erupted, and a powerful pressure pressed down on Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian was not an inner disciple of the Yanluo Sect, but rather an inner disciple of the Beidou Sect. Given this connection, Sect Master Han naturally believed even more strongly that Wang Qinian's attack just now was intentional.

Ye Feng also frowned as he looked at Wang Qinian. Although Ye Feng didn't have a good impression of Yu Hao, he could see that Wang Qinian had gone too far just now. There was no need to seriously injure Yu Hao.

Furthermore, Ye Feng discovered that the same incident had occurred in several other arenas, and it seemed that disciples of the Beidou Sect had deliberately injured disciples of the Yanluo Sect.

"Could it be that the Beidou Sect guys are deliberately trying to cause trouble?" Ye Feng wondered to himself.

However, Ye Feng shook his head. This matter was beyond his control. He just needed to focus on his current tasks. As for the Beidou Sect disciples who wanted to cause trouble, if he encountered them, he would take them down one by one.

Wang Qinian was almost knocked off his feet by the sudden pressure from Sect Master Han, but fortunately an invisible force appeared instantly and blocked the pressure, allowing Wang Qinian to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sect Leader Han, it's probably inappropriate to bully a junior like this," an old man said with a smile, looking at Sect Leader Han.

When Sect Leader Han saw this person, his expression changed drastically. This person's strength was even greater than Sect Leader Han's, and under such circumstances, Sect Leader Han's aura actually weakened.

"Hmph, are you really taking advantage of our lack of resources?" Jiang Wuyai snorted coldly, saying unhappily, and stood next to Sect Leader Han.

At this time, it was someone from another sect who came to bully them. Jiang Wuyai naturally had to put aside his personal grudges with Sect Leader Han and unite against the outsiders, which was the wise choice.

With Jiang Wuyai's support, Sect Leader Han's momentum surged again. Although the old man was quite strong, he was only slightly stronger than the two of them individually. He was not confident that he could face both of them at the same time.

"Hmph, this is just a martial arts competition. Let the disciples decide. As an elder, it's really against the rules to attack a junior," the old man said with dissatisfaction.

"Fine, you just wait and see," Jiang Wuyai roared. He couldn't say anything more after the other party said that, since it was a martial arts competition and injuries were normal.

Yu Hao's injuries were severe, which meant he could no longer participate in the subsequent competitions. As a result, he lost his qualification to enter the main peak competition and could only be a spectator on the main peak.

"I didn't expect Wang Qinian to be able to defeat a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist. It seems that the inner disciples are indeed stronger. It's wise to give up when we encounter this guy." The guys in Ye Feng's group started to discuss among themselves.

"I wonder who is stronger, Wang Qinian or Ye Fengxiang."

"Who knows? It probably depends on whether Wang Qinian can withstand Ye Feng's soul attack."

The disciples not only discussed it amongst themselves, but some even started betting on who would win between Ye Feng and Wang Qinian.

The group stage proceeded very quickly, and in the afternoon, Ye Feng encountered Wang Qinian.

"Haha, it's finally our turn to duel. Your soul attack is quite impressive, but with me, your good days are over." Wang Qinian said smugly, and with a wave of his arm, the string of pearls on Wang Qinian's injured necklace emitted a strange light, which completely enveloped Wang Qinian.

After doing all this, Wang Qinian looked at Ye Feng calmly, seemingly waiting for Ye Feng to make the first move, appearing extremely confident.

Ye Feng ignored Wang Qinian's pretentious act. A black light flashed in his eyes, and he unleashed a soul attack. An invisible black vortex began to sweep towards Wang Qinian.

However, this invisible black vortex completely dissipated upon contact with the defensive barrier in front of Wang Qinian. It was as if it had been absorbed, a very strange scene.

"Hmph." Ye Feng snorted coldly. His soul attack was absorbed just like that, and Ye Feng himself was also injured. Fortunately, Ye Feng's soul power was very strong, otherwise Ye Feng probably would not have been able to continue fighting after this.

"Haha, come on, keep going!" Wang Qinian said smugly. He believed that Ye Feng's strongest attack was this soul attack, and now that he had neutralized it, Ye Feng would have no other options. However, Wang Qinian's smugness didn't last long before he suddenly saw that Ye Feng had vanished. When Ye Feng reappeared, he was already standing right in front of him.

"Damn, riding the wind on a sword."

Wang Qinian hadn't expected Ye Feng to be so fast. By the time he reacted, it was already extremely difficult to draw his sword to defend himself.

Ye Feng had already drawn his sword at some point and stood in front of Wang Qinian, slashing out with his sword.

"boom."

Wang Qinian's body went limp, indicating that he had been seriously injured.

Wang Qinian barely managed to block Ye Feng's attack with his sword; he couldn't withstand Ye Feng's assault at all. Moreover, Ye Feng's sword strike wasn't using martial arts techniques, but rather internal force, making it arguably the best choice for injuring someone. This was because Ye Feng was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Qinian's previous performance, which is why he did this.

However, Ye Feng did not stop attacking after this strike. Facing Wang Qinian, who was about to fall to the ground, Ye Feng raised his foot and kicked Wang Qinian in the stomach. Ye Feng not only used a lot of force in this kick, but also used hidden force.

Wang Qinian coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. His condition was even more tragic than Yu Hao's earlier.

"Boy, how dare you hurt someone!" This time, it was the old man next to Wang Qinian who was furious. He rushed forward and was about to fight Ye Feng.

"Didn't you just say that the outcome is a matter for us martial artists? If I don't make a move, am I supposed to just wait for him to hit me?" Ye Feng said shamelessly.

"Damn it, you clearly used excessive force on purpose, otherwise how could Wang Qinian have been injured so badly?" The old man said angrily after examining Wang Qinian's injuries.

"Oh dear, I probably didn't know my limits. You know I'm just a Spirit Form martial artist, so it's definitely stressful to face a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist. It's normal to not be able to control my power," Ye Feng continued.

"You! You!" The old man was so angry at Ye Feng's shameless words that he didn't know how to refute them for a moment. He really wanted to go up and beat Ye Feng to relieve his hatred, but after seeing Sect Master Han and Ye Feng standing in front of Ye Feng, he finally gave up the idea.

The competition continued, and Wang Qinian, like Yu Hao, had probably lost his fighting ability, which meant he had lost his eligibility to participate in the future.

In fact, it is rare for someone to be seriously injured in the arena and unable to continue the match. This is because advancing from this group does not necessarily require a perfect record. When facing strong opponents, everyone wisely chooses to give up. If the two sides are evenly matched, it is even less likely that one side will seriously injure the other and be forced to leave the arena. If it is just a minor injury, it will not affect the next match. Taking some medicine will allow for a quick recovery.

Within Ye Feng's branch sect, outside a sound transmission array, a large number of disciples were already standing densely packed together.

This is the communication array used by the branch sect and the main sect to communicate. It is generally used in emergencies or when announcing competition results, like this time.

Previously, news of a change in the competition format had been received here. At this moment, in addition to the two elders, Yu Lin and Zuo Song, there were many disciples of the Yanluo Sect, including Lin Dong, who were all waiting for the news.

They had already learned that the main sect would send news about their branch's performance in the branch competition, which was a matter of honor for each branch. Therefore, these disciples had been waiting here for a long time, eager to know what kind of results Ye Feng and the others would achieve.

Of course, these disciples didn't have very high expectations. After all, there were many disciples from the main sect this time, and it was said that other sects were also participating. Under such circumstances, everyone felt that it was already a miracle that Ye Feng and the others were able to advance from the group stage.

After waiting for a while, the teleportation array suddenly flashed with light, and the entire teleportation array was gradually lit up. At this moment, everyone immediately fell silent, afraid of missing the message they were about to receive.

A deep voice came from inside the teleportation array. Elders Yu Lin and Zuo Song immediately recognized it as Jiang Wuyai's voice.

The message was very simple. Because activating the teleportation array consumed a lot of energy stones, Jiang Wuyai could only get to the point and didn't intend to go into any other details.

"Ye Feng and Wu Lan advanced to the main tournament, while the rest of the disciples were eliminated in their respective groups."

Jiang Wuyai's voice came from inside the teleportation array. No one was surprised by this result. On the contrary, they felt that it was already a very rare thing that two people were able to advance to the main peak of martial arts.

Although Wu Lan's strength was not as good as Wang Chengye and Tie Shu, she was lucky and drew a group with relatively weak opponents, which allowed her to barely enter the main summit martial arts competition.

Just when everyone thought the telepathic transmission had ended, Jiang Wuyai's voice rang out again from within the teleportation array.

"Wu Lan advanced despite losing three matches, while Ye Feng advanced with a perfect record."

"Wow, are you kidding me? Senior Brother Ye Feng is so ruthless."

"This is insane! Isn't it said that each group has a disciple from the main sect as an opponent? This Senior Brother Ye Feng is even stronger than a disciple from the main sect."

Upon hearing the news, the disciples of the branch sect went into a frenzy, finding the result utterly unbelievable. Ye Feng's achievement also made these disciples feel a sense of pride and vindication. It was as if they were saying to the main sect disciples, "See? Don't think you're so great; you were still defeated by our Senior Brother Ye Feng."

The happiest person among them was naturally Lin Dong. Now, Lin Dong felt more and more that winning over Ye Feng and helping him was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life. You know, with Ye Feng's current strength, his future achievements are bound to be limitless. In this way, as long as Ye Feng casually helps his family, it will be enough for the family to rise to prominence.

Lin Dong has given up on his talent for cultivation and is now focused entirely on managing the family business. He is already very satisfied if he can make his family business prosper.

"Complete victory! Did you hear that? We were right about this guy!" Zuo Song laughed heartily, clearly overjoyed.

Yu Lin, standing to the side, also wore a smug expression. Ye Feng had been a disciple of him and Zuo Song who had taken the assessment. Now that Ye Feng had achieved such good results, it felt as if their own disciple had achieved good results, giving Yu Lin and Zuo Song a sense of honor.

The teleportation array dissipated its light after transmitting Jiang Wuyai's two sentences. Although they were just two ordinary sentences, they caused a great sensation. At this moment, all the disciples in the branch sect were very excited. They even forgot that Ye Feng had to participate in the main peak martial arts competition.

On the main peak of Yanluo Sect, Ye Feng faced a new test. A new day had begun, and a new battle was about to start.

This competition is different from the previous ones. This time, all the important closed-door disciples and even the personal disciples of the main peak will participate in the competition.

Although the competition will still be conducted in groups, the grouping method will be different this time. This time, the grouping will try to ensure that each group has several strong individuals, and these individuals will come from different sects.

For example, a group might have a few ordinary disciples from a branch sect or inner sect, while the other disciples might be closed-door disciples or even personal disciples from the three sects.

For Ye Feng, this assessment held even greater significance.

Just now, Dongmen Zhi, the Grand Master of Yanluo Sect, announced the final rewards for this assessment, and the reward for the first place winner was the Spirit Restoration Purple Pill that Ye Feng had been dreaming of.

"I've been searching for you for so long, and I've finally found you," Ye Feng thought to himself. At the same time, he made up his mind to win first place in the martial arts competition.

Initially, Ye Feng wasn't too concerned about the results. He just thought he could fight casually here. It was said that the strongest disciple here had reached the Spirit Soul Realm, and Ye Feng didn't have confidence in winning. However, now, Ye Feng had no choice but to work hard and fight to win first place.
