More than three hundred young people stood on the Arena, eagerly awaiting the final results.
Elder Zhao reappeared, this time unfurling an ancient piece of parchment.
"Next, those without a token, step down!"
As his words fell, over one hundred thirty individuals reluctantly left the Arena.
Less than one hundred seventy remained on the Arena.
"One hundred sixty-first place, Zhao Xingfeng. One token."
Elder Zhao began to call out names.
Upon hearing this, a dark-skinned youth joyfully stepped out from the crowd and stood opposite.
"One hundred fifty-ninth place, Luo Xing. One token."
Another person emerged from the crowd to join Zhao Xingfeng.
...
"Tenth place, Gao Jian. Six tokens."
At this announcement, Gao Jian patted his chest, overwhelmed with joy.
He had never made it into the top ten before.
This time, he owed it to Qin Tian's support.
"Ninth place, Qin Tian. Nine tokens."
Qin Tian nodded and stepped over to stand beside Gao Jian.
"Eighth Place..."
"Seventh Place, Du Ziheng. Ten tokens."
Du Ziheng held his head high and deliberately walked over to Qin Tian.
With a slight huff, he said to Qin Tian, "Do you know why I have one more token than you? Because I'm smarter than you. Giving away five tokens out of more than ten? That's just foolish!"
Qin Tian sneered in response, "So, you have no friends."
"You..."
Du Ziheng clenched his fists tightly.
"As the Senior Brother of Sky Peak, with only five disciples at Sky Peak, who do you have a good relationship with? The Second Senior Sister goes without saying, the Third Senior Brother is in seclusion. And the Fourth Brother? I think your life must be quite exhausting."
Qin Tian showed no mercy, chuckling lightly.
Gao Jian tugged at Qin Tian's sleeve. "No need to say more. Wherever he is, let's move to another place."
He pulled Qin Tian firmly to one side of the group.
"Second Place, Xu Liuyun. Fifteen tokens."
The crowd gasped.
No one had surpassed ten tokens until Xu Liuyun came along and jumped straight to fifteen.
Tens of thousands in the stands inhaled sharply.
How many tokens did she take from others?
Facing the scorching gaze of the crowd, Xu Liuyun grinned and stepped over to Gao Jian's side.
"Swordy, please take care of me!"
Tilting her head, Xu Liuyun exhaled lightly and extended a hand that resembled jade.
"I've told you not to call me Swordy. Am I really that cheap?"
Gao Jian was on the verge of tears.
His expression, however, only made Xu Liuyun beside him giggle uncontrollably.
"First place, Gong Xueyi."
Elder Zhao deliberately paused for a moment before raising his head, taking a surprised breath.
Below the arena, tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples and hundreds of Inner Sect Disciples looked at Elder Zhao in astonishment.
"Thirty-five tokens."
As Elder Zhao's words fell, everyone was stunned.
There were only a little over three hundred tokens in total, and Gong Xueyi had thirty-five of them.
Had everyone who encountered her been defeated?
"The first Heavenly Pride of Xuan Yang Sword Sect truly lives up to her name."
Even from the seats of the two major Sects, cheers erupted.
While other Heavenly Prides from Xuan Yang Sword Sect might face jealousy and attempts to eliminate them, if it was Gong Xueyi rising, all they could do was envy her.
They knew that behind Gong Xueyi stood a superpower that even combined could not match the strength of their two Sects.
She was merely here to hone her skills.
"Some disciples also possess a token but were not selected. I must emphasize that tokens are ranked according to cultivation level. Therefore, for those who feel disadvantaged, train harder next year; improving your cultivation will naturally bring fairness to yourself."
Elder Zhao addressed the remaining fewer than ten disciples in the arena.
The remaining disciples understood and could only nod as they silently walked down from the Arena.
"Alright, next up is the Elimination Match. One hundred sixty participants will draw lots to determine their opponents for the next round. After four rounds of Elimination Matches, the last ten will enter the final challenge. Let’s begin!"
As Elder Zhao's words fell, the one hundred sixty disciples moved to the drawing area, each picking a Bamboo Stick that belonged to them.
"One hundred thirty-three."
Qin Tian drew a position towards the back.
"Ah, I drew seventy-five."
Gao Jian expressed some concern.
"It’s alright, your Cultivation is not an issue."
Qin Tian reassured Gao Jian as they made their way to the spectator seats.
……
"How confident are you in killing Qin Tian?"
An elder from Lingxu Daozong asked the Black-Clad Youth beside him.
"One strike," the Black-Clad Youth replied confidently.
"Haha, indeed. A mere Seventh Layer of Meridian Opening fellow should be no problem. However, I am somewhat worried that he won't make it into the top three."
The elder chuckled lightly.
"It’s better if he doesn’t make it into the top three. It shows he doesn't have that strong of a capability; it was purely by chance. We won’t need to exert ourselves."
The Black-Clad Youth smiled coldly.
At the Ziyang Immortal Sect's seating area.
An elder dressed in purple turned to the Purple-Clad Youth beside him and said,
"Is this Qin Tian, the one who killed our disciple?"
The Purple-Clad Youth nodded, his gaze sharp as a blade, locking onto Qin Tian.
"In that case, I look forward to seeing him make it into the top three."
The elder nodded and leaned back in the Grandmaster Chair.
"I believe he has no hope of entering the top three. Among the one hundred sixty Inner Sect Disciples of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, those at the Channeling Realm and Nine Heavens already exceed three. A mere Seventh Layer of the Meridian Realm trying to turn the tide is far too difficult."
The Purple-Clad Youth smiled lightly.
...
The competition began.
One hundred sixty Inner Sect Disciples, each one a standout.
Any one of them, stepping out of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, would be a notable figure.
At this moment, many disciples had already taken to the Arena.
Lightning flashed and swords danced with unparalleled skill.
The battles were intense.
They fought fiercely until both sides were exhausted before determining a victor.
"Truly worthy of being among the best in the Inner Sect. To stand on this Arena is no small feat."
Qin Tian's Double Pupil emerged, recording their techniques and some insights into their cultivation methods.
He dissected each individual's style and integrated it into his own path.
Path of Cultivation is just like that.
There are no correct answers; what exists is merely each person's obsession with reaching higher peaks in cultivation.
In less than an hour, over sixty matches had already taken place.
Gao Jian had also emerged victorious with a crisp win.
"Next match: Renfeng Xu Liuyun versus Earth Peak Zhao Xingfeng."
As the elder's voice fell, Gao Jian suddenly became excited in his seat.
His lecherous eyes eagerly gazed at the Arena.
"Wait a minute. I remember you didn't like Xu Liuyun very much, did you?"
Qin Tian, sitting beside him, was puzzled by Gao Jian's current state.
"Who said I disliked her? I just... don't like her calling me Swordy. Actually, she's quite nice. She's pretty and has high Cultivation."
Gao Jian said with a look of enjoyment.
"I see."
Qin Tian chuckled, understanding the situation.
This is the kind of relationship where hitting means affection and cursing means love. It seemed like they were enemies, but in reality, it was far from that.
"Junior Brother, please don't tell Liu Yun. I'm afraid if she finds out, she won't scold me anymore."
Gao Jian lowered his head, his face turning completely red.
"Pervert."
Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.
The match had already begun in the Arena.
The dark-skinned boy who was the first to step into the elimination round was unfortunate enough to encounter Xu Liuyun, who was ranked seventh.
In just one round, he was defeated under Xu Liuyun's sword.
The gap was too large!
"Tsk tsk, Sister Liu Yun is really impressive!"
Qin Tian clapped his hands uncontrollably.
"Why do you call her Sister Liu Yun?"
Gao Jian asked, puzzled.
"Come on, you're my Fourth Brother, so of course she's my sister."
Qin Tian covered his mouth, trying not to laugh.
"Get lost! You're making fun of me again."
Gao Jian, feeling annoyed, gave Qin Tian a light smack on the head.
Rubbing his head, Qin Tian shook it and said, "A man must take the initiative."
...
"Next match, Sky Peak Qin Tian versus Earth Peak Xu Zhi."
Qin Tian stood up and walked onto the Arena.
"Junior Brother, be careful; this guy is ranked thirty-five," Gao Jian reminded him.
Qin Tian nodded without answering and stepped onto the Arena.
"Are you Qin Tian?"
A figure had appeared on the Arena without anyone noticing.
Dressed in coarse robes, wielding a long sword.
He exuded an imposing presence.
"Yes."
Qin Tian nodded.
"You are the one who killed my brother Xu Shi in the Spirit Void Secret Realm?"
Xu Zhi sneered coldly, his long sword already drawn.
"Yes."
Qin Tian continued to nod.
"Self-destruct one arm and get lost!"
It was contempt.
Naked. Unadulterated contempt.
Qin Tian chuckled lightly, raising a hand and pointing at Xu Zhi.
"I only need one move to defeat you."
You look down on me, but I look down on you even more.
The flames of battle ignited in an instant.
In that moment, countless disciples below the Arena went wild.
A being ranked almost at the bottom boldly claimed that he could defeat a powerful opponent ranked thirty-five with a single strike.
What else could it be but arrogance?
"I bet one hundred Intermediate Spirit Stones that Qin Tian will definitely lose," someone said, eager to stir the pot.
"I'll wager three hundred Spirit Stones that Qin Tian will be defeated in one move."
"Haha, count me in too!"
In no time, many spectators in the Arena began placing their bets.
Gao Jian's shifty little eyes sparkled as he pulled out over seven hundred Spirit Stones from his pocket and placed them on the ground.
"I’m betting too! Qin Tian will defeat Xu Zhi with one strike. Seven hundred thirty Spirit Stones. Qin Tian, you have to win for me. This is all I have!"
Gao Jian shouted loudly.
Qin Tian, standing in the Arena, heard him. He glanced over and a smile crept onto his face.
"Betting on Qin Tian? Hmph, you'll end up with nothing but your underwear."
Many people were placing their bets, and most were favoring Xu Zhi to win.
"Let’s get started!"
Qin Tian stretched his muscles and turned to Xu Zhi.
"You think you can defeat me with one move? With your Seventh Layer of Meridian Opening cultivation? I am at Channeling Realm, Eight Heavens. Golden Sun Sword Technique!"
With a fierce shout, a blazing sun slowly emerged behind him.
Immediately, a torrent of sword energy erupted from his long sword, lunging fiercely toward Qin Tian.
"I said I would defeat you in one move, and I won’t need a second."
Golden Battle Blood boiled.
Golden Battle Bones clanged.
Eighty-four Meridians surged forth.
Within Qin Tian, all the power erupted at this moment.
It converged in his fist.
Pinnacle Golden Battle Fist!
Boom!
The powerful shockwave directly collapsed a corner of the Arena.
The Golden Sun Sword Qi collided fiercely with the Golden Battle Fist.
Bang!
A tremendous sound echoed, and amidst the dust, a figure shot out like an arrow.
From the center of the Arena, it fell directly to the ground.
Everyone present was stunned.
It truly was a single move that determined the victor.
