The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt. Nie Yuan's vision went dark. If Li Yang hadn't been holding him up, he would have fallen to the ground.
Xiao An suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at Nie Yuan who seemed to have lost his soul, and felt extremely happy.
He coughed twice and then took a few steps forward.
"The time has come. The selection competition is over. Check the tokens on the participating disciples and conduct the final ranking."
Xiao An's energetic voice spread throughout the square.
But compared to previous years' trials, this announcement, which should have been full of solemnity, was instead filled with uncontrollable joy.
On the mountain peak, Luo Qingxue looked at Ye Qianling with a stunned expression.
The latter also slowly recovered from his daze, and also looked at Luo Qingxue and said slowly:
"Like you, I didn't expect such a result."
Luo Qingxue took a deep breath, her face flushed with excitement, and her voice was trembling.
"Wang Chen's power far exceeds our expectations."
Ye Qianling nodded, "Before his last sword energy appeared, we already felt that he was very strong. After all, he could defeat the fifth-level peak of Lingtai realm who was holding an eighth-grade spiritual sword with his fourth-level cultivation of Lingdan realm. It’s a genius in the capital, but not many can do it.”
"But his performance in the end made us clearly realize that our evaluation of him is still conservative."
Speaking of this, Ye Qianling suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Chen's figure, his eyes flashing.
Luo Qingxue couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
Ye Qianling narrowed his eyes slightly, "It stands to reason that after Wang Chen struck Nie Yun with his sword, the spiritual energy in both of their bodies was completely consumed."
"The reason why Nie Yun was able to send out the last red sword aura was entirely because of the eighth-grade spiritual sword. The last sword aura Wang Chen sent out, which seemed to be an ordinary sword aura, probably did not belong to him."
Luo Qingxue had a thoughtful look on her face.
Just now, she had been immersed in the excitement of Wang Chen's victory, and had not thought of this level at all.
At this time, Ye Qianling pointed him out, and he suddenly realized, "So what you mean is that Wang Chen also has the same swordsmanship inheritance as Nie Yun?"
Ye Qianling shook his head, "According to the normal progress of sword cultivators, even a genius sword cultivator cannot cultivate his sword intention to the level of perfection at such a young age."
"Unless you are like Nie Yun, who has obtained the kendo inheritance from other kendo masters."
"But judging from the battle between the two of them just now, Wang Chen has already found his own way in the way of swordsmanship.
Therefore, what he possesses should not be other people's sword inheritance, but other special powers. "
Luo Qingxue nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "No matter what, he is the one who wins in the end. Everyone has their own secrets, right?"
Ye Qianling's eyebrows were curved, "Of course, even if you are practicing this path, both talent and opportunity are extremely important."
While they were talking, the disciples participating in the trial also returned to the square from the back mountain one after another.
Then, take out the token on your body to register and make the final ranking.
After the ranking is completed, it will be announced soon.
The first place was undoubtedly Wang Chen, who accounted for nearly half of the tokens on his body.
It was an absolute crushing victory to reach the top spot!
Of course, this is entirely due to the last few old disciples.
If they hadn't come to kill him, Wang Chen wouldn't have so many tokens all at once.
The second place is Nie Yun, with the number of tokens reaching nearly 200.
Originally, according to his plan, he would get his token after killing Wang Chen, so that he could successfully reach the top.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Even if he used all his cards, he was still defeated by Wang Chen.
Lei Jian, on the other hand, exceeded everyone's expectations and took third place with more than a hundred tokens.
Of course, this was beyond his own expectations.
If it weren't for those old disciples, most of whom died in the hands of Wang Chen in order to sell Nie Yun's favor, he really wouldn't be able to reach this ranking.
Originally, according to his own estimation, he would do well to enter the top ten if he tried his best.
He was even prepared to die: if there was a chance, he would kill Nie Yun even if he risked his life.
However, there will be no such opportunity until the final selection is over.
What made him feel relieved was that during the fight between Wang Chen and Nie Yun, he took action and killed the last fourth-level Lingtai Realm old disciple.
It can be regarded as a contribution to Wang Chen's defeat of Nie Yun.
As the rankings were announced one after another, many disciples jumped for joy.
Many disciples who had no chance of entering the top ten succeeded in entering the top ten because of the death of those old disciples in the end.
Everyone was extremely grateful to Wang Chen in their hearts.
On the side, Nie Yun, who had recovered a little, walked a few steps in front of Wang Chen, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Lei Jian, who was supporting Wang Chen, immediately wanted to step forward, but he reached out to stop him.
Immediately, Wang Chen looked at Nie Yun with a bit of ridicule on his face, "Why, you are still not convinced after losing the trial? How about we compete again?"
Seeing the sneer on Wang Chen's face, Nie Yunfei was almost furious.
I originally thought I could take advantage of this trial to kill Wang Chen directly or indirectly.
But unexpectedly, Wang Chen did not die in the end, but all the old disciples who wanted to follow him died.
You must know that he is planning to develop these people into his subordinates after entering the headquarters.
But now, there is no one left.
Even he himself suffered an extremely humiliating defeat at the hands of Wang Chen.
Not only that, because the eighth-grade spiritual sword was shot down, he himself also suffered very serious internal injuries.
Thinking of this, Nie Yun felt that the anger in his chest was about to explode.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Give me back my spirit sword!"
Nie Yun almost said this through gritted teeth, and the veins on his forehead were trembling.
At the end when Xiao An announced the end of the trial, Wang Chen, a despicable and shameless guy who deserved death, actually took away his eighth-grade spiritual sword while he was knocked to the ground!
Hearing this, Wang Chen's face was full of confusion and he turned to look at Lei Jian.
"Eighth-grade spiritual sword? What is the eighth-grade spiritual sword? Senior brother Lei Jian, do you know?"
Lei Jian shook his head with the same 'confused' expression, "I don't know, where did you get the eighth-grade spiritual sword? This kid is talking nonsense. Could it be that there is something wrong with the head you hit?"
Wang Chen nodded solemnly, "It's very possible. Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have stopped. I didn't expect that the dignified young master of the Nie family could not help but hit her. After two hits, he would become a psychopath."
