"What?"
The entire plaza fell into silence in an instant, as figures stared at Ren Changsheng, eyes wide with shock. The next round was directly a life-and-death battle? Was Ren Changsheng actively challenging the Sword Sect?
At this mont.
No one had expected this.
People thought Ren Changsheng would co out and admit defeat, sparing Qingqiu from inevitable ridicule. However, they didn't expect Ren Changsheng to be so bold, publicly challenging the Sword Sect disciples, even though Ren Changsheng's cultivation was rely at the Supre Level six.
And the disciple from the Sword Sect.
He was a Supre Level seven peak powerhouse.
The two weren't even in the sa league. Ren Changsheng stepped forward to challenge, it was akin to standing before the Sword Sect and publicly delivering a slap in the face, a fiery and painful one!
"Such an arrogant disciple of Qingqiu, his cultivation is only at the Supre Level six, yet he dares to challenge the Sword Sect?"
"He's too presumptuous!"
"Could this kid want to save Qingqiu from disaster, and not implicate others? By actively challenging the Sword Sect, he's clearly walking to his death!"
"Regardless of whether he's walking to his death, I have a newfound respect for this kid!"
...
The plaza erupted in a flurry of chatter, as people recovered. None had thought Ren Changsheng would publicly challenge the Sword Sect, and the Sword Sect's Supre Level seven disciple looked incredibly sullen.
He wanted to accept.
But he couldn't afford to lose face.
A Supre Level seven peak genius being challenged by Ren Changsheng, a re Supre Level six kid, was already a form of ridicule. If he accepted, regardless of whether he wins or loses.
To the Sword Sect.
It wouldn't be a good thing!
"What a bold kid!"
The Heavenly Sword's face darkened. On that day, Ren Changsheng had publicly said he'd step on the Sword Sect, which irked him, but he hadn't taken Ren Changsheng seriously.
A tiny Supre Level six ant.
To kill.
Would be easy!
Who knew.
Ren Changsheng would step out again, this ti, publicly challenging.
"Qingqiu and my Sword Dao domain are both controlling forces, since Qingqiu disciples challenge my Sword Sect, how can my Sword Sect retreat? The challenge from your side, my Sword Sect accepts!"
At this mont.
A deep voice sounded, it was the Heavenly Sword, his words were also clever, directly naming Sword Sect and Qingqiu as equals, while not ntioning the cultivation levels of the two disciples involved.
Thus.
The Sword Sect accepted the challenge without fault!
"The Sword Sect has accepted!"
The crowd erupted again, as they looked at Ren Changsheng once more. In the eyes of many strong figures, a tinge of pity arose. Supre Level seven against Supre Level six, the result doesn't even need seeing!
Ren Changsheng was dood this ti.
"This foolish boy..."
Qinglian Jiao saw Ren Changsheng step forward and couldn't help but curse, but she didn't bla Ren Changsheng. Given his formidable prowess, facing the Sword Sect disciple was inevitable.
In the Red Lotus Institute.
"I..."
The disciple who initially blad Ren Changsheng for the match now felt deeply ashad, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into. As a fellow Qingqiu disciple, he was at the beginning of Supre Level seven, whereas Ren Changsheng was only at Supre Level six.
But now.
Ren Changsheng actively challenged solely to enable him to withdraw!
"Thank you!"
He whispered to Ren Changsheng, then directly returned to the Qingqiu disciples. Hong Lianjiao also glanced at Ren Changsheng, with sparks flashing in her eyes.
Even Bai Lianjiao turned her gaze to Ren Changsheng.
In those eyes.
They softened slightly!
"Master, this Ren Changsheng..."
Xue Ying's eyes flickered with sparks. He had initially felt resentnt towards Ren Changsheng as he publicly stepped on him, but this ti, a sense of admiration arose within him.
Even he.
Wouldn't dare step forward to challenge the Sword Sect!
He did not have the courage.
"The seventeenth match: Sword Sect Victory, regarding the second round of challenges, everyone, this is the Gate of Control. Above the Gate of Control, no challenges are allowed in the first three rounds, unless both parties enter the top ten. Otherwise, challenges aren't permitted!"
At this mont, Tianyang Daoist's amused voice rang out.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone secretly sighed in relief.
In the Sword Sect.
The Heavenly Sword frowned slightly. He hadn't anticipated such a rule, but since it was laid down, he, as an Eight-Level Sword Master, dared not contradict it at all.
"Kid, to challenge , you must first enter the top ten!"
Sword Sect disciple sneered at Ren Changsheng.
"Is that so?"
Ren Changsheng smirked sarcastically, saying little more. The top ten? For Ren Changsheng, it was a breeze. Now Ren Changsheng's independent cultivation was at Supre Level eight, only two or three people were capable of engaging him in battle.
Not just the top ten.
This ti, Ren Changsheng would go for first place!
"Next, contestant number eighteen, please step up!"
Tianyang Daoist's voice sounded once more. In a mont, two disciples ascended the stage again, and the arena battle recomnced as the earlier storm slowly faded from mory. Outside the plaza, it grew lively once more.
Ti.
Passed slowly.
The Gate of Control, during the first round, consisted of uninterrupted matches, ninety-one arena battles, all involving Supre Level seven experts, so even lasting one or two days per fight.
Half a month later.
The first round of arena battles began nearing its end.
On the arena stage.
Besides the Sword Sect disciples, two strong fighters appeared from both Dao Sect and the Heavenly Control domain. Both fighters retreated enemies in a single move; their cultivation likely surpassed Supre Level seven.
As for others.
None had reached Supre Level eight, Ren Changsheng hadn't discovered anyone yet.
"Contestant seventy-two, please step up!"
At this mont, Tianyang Daoist's voice echoed again. Originally imrsed in cultivation, Ren Changsheng now opened his eyes. Seventy-two was Yue'er's number.
Yue'er was seventy-two.
Long Fei was seventy-six!
Ren Changsheng felt a bit worried for Yue'er. With Supre Eye activated, he realized Yue'er's cultivation wasn't strong, rely at the beginning of Supre Level seven. With such cultivation, the first round might be challenging!
As for Long Fei, Ren Changsheng wasn't worried!
"Yue'er, are you confident?"
Bai Lianjiao looked at Yue'er, speaking solemnly.
"Master, don't worry!"
Yue'er smiled confidently, glancing at Ren Changsheng. eting Ren Changsheng's gaze, Ren Changsheng leaped directly from outside the plaza onto it. Opposite him, a female figure appeared.
This person was a disciple of the Blade Sect.
On her body.
Her cultivation had reached the middle of Supre Level seven.
From the Blade Sect.
There were five disciples this ti. Aside from one Supre Level seven peak disciple who was defeated, four remained: one peak, two late-stage, and one mid-stage Supre Level seven.
This mid-stage Supre Level seven disciple.
Was considered the weakest among the Blade Sect this ti.
