Meanwhile, Zhang Chen felt bitter and unspeakable in his heart. He had planned to act weak and then impress the girls.
But now, Ye Qingzhou turned out to be the tiger, and he became the pig!
Watching Ye Qingzhou walk away, Liao Yucheng came up to Zhang Chen and asked, "What do you think of his strength?"
At this moment, Zhang Chen recalled the details of the battle just now, and his mood instantly became heavy: "Very strong, his strength is simply unfathomable."
"Is it really that exaggerated? You didn’t use your full strength, did you?"
Liao Yucheng hadn’t personally faced Ye Qingzhou, so he was still holding onto a glimmer of hope.
But Zhang Chen had truly felt the vast gap, like a chasm, between himself and Ye Qingzhou.
So, the smile on his face at this moment was especially bitter: "I didn’t use my full strength, do you think Ye Qingzhou used his full strength? He was even too lazy to draw his sword just now. For an opponent like me, he probably doesn’t even take me seriously."
"Is the gap really that big?"
Listening to Zhang Chen’s description, even Liao Yucheng felt suffocated.
Previously, when learning that Xiang Province had two people in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List from the World Martial Arts Discussion evaluation, he was quite happy.
But now, knowing that he was going to face such two monstrous players, Liao Yucheng couldn’t be happy at all.
At the same time.
The commotion at the fighting stage attracted a lot of attention.
Several martial arts newcomers from other cities, passing by and noticing the battle, gathered around to watch the fun. However, Zhang Chen was too vulnerable and lost in one move, drawing boos from the crowd.
"What’s going on? That’s so boring!"
"Is the Jianning Team really such a weakling?"
Several students wearing uniforms from prestigious schools in other cities commented on the battle just now, claiming that if it were them, they would definitely win, and so on.
This comment was overheard by Feng Wu, who was passing by, and he immediately became displeased, his face full of indignation: "You think the Jianning Team is weak? Do you want to spar on the stage?"
With his hand on his sword, Feng Wu, exuding a strong murderous aura and overwhelming qi and blood cultivation, made those students on the opposite side dare not speak boldly anymore and hurriedly fled.
Afterward, Feng Wu approached Zhang Chen and Liao Yucheng: "Why did you have a conflict with Ye Qingzhou?"
Zhang Chen looked dejected at this moment: "Before the fight started, I didn’t know it was him either."
Feng Wu sighed: "It looks like he’s much stronger than during the Sword Fighting Competition. He has honed himself into an unparalleled treasure sword, and once unsheathed, he will be invincible."
Feng Wu, who himself mastered swordsmanship and was fifth in the Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition, had a discerning eye. He could see that Ye Qingzhou’s aura was completely different from before.
After being baptized by the Dao Celestial Sound, Ye Qingzhou’s rattling iron bones had already transformed into higher-grade rattling sword bones. His entire body could stimulate sword qi resonance, and his strength was so high that even standing still, others might not be able to harm him.
As Feng Wu said, at this moment, Ye Qingzhou himself was an unrivaled treasure sword, unparalleled in sharpness and indestructibility.
......
December 20th, 9:00 AM.
The Xiang Province Phoenix Cup City League officially opened. This time, it was a provincial-wide competition involving the south, north, west, and east of Xiang Province, where middle schools from fourteen cities would send teams to participate, determining the allocation of martial arts resources for the next year.
Even before the battle started, the heated atmosphere had dispelled the cold weather.
The sky was clear at the scene. Although the temperature was a bit cold, the audience had already arrived early, waiting for the opening ceremony to begin.
The seats of Linjiang First High School were filled with students from the four major clubs of the Fighting Center, as well as accompanying teachers. Even some parents of the athletes had taken time off specifically to form a group of family and friends to cheer for their children.
In addition, the school leaders of the participating high schools all attended the event.
Each of them wore formal attire, with serious expressions, high-level staff from the martial arts associations of the fourteen cities, and provincial officials took their places on stage.
In terms of scale and specifications, the Phoenix Cup couldn’t be compared to the previous Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition.
This morning was mainly about watching the opening ceremony. The cameras from various media were not focused on the athletes but concentrated on these important figures.
Zhao Zhiyi, the president of the Star City Martial Arts Association.
Gu Minghui, the representative from Celestial Craft Group.
Leaders from Zhongnan University, University of National Defense Technology, Xiang University, Xiang Province Normal University, and other key local universities in Xiang Province.
One after another, these important figures, who usually only appear on television, were all quietly seated in the guest seats, making the atmosphere on-site continually soar.
"My goodness, why does it feel like there are more guests and leaders invited to the Phoenix Cup than us participants? Is this reasonable?"
"Isn’t the situation where there are more people giving orders than those doing the work a normal phenomenon in the operation of human society?"
"How dare you! Is this a topic we can discuss?"
On the audience seats of the competition center, the students who came to cheer had their spirits burning. They were here to watch the competition, not to listen to those long-winded speeches.
But so many important figures came today, and if each of them "spoke briefly," it might take several hours. It seemed more daunting than the brainwashing demonic sound of the spiritual martial technique.
Soon, every place in the martial arts arena, including the guest seats, leader seats, and audience seats, was completely filled, and the opening ceremony was finally slowly beginning.
