Wu Shen shouted softly, and suddenly a layer of golden light covered his body, making him look extremely powerful.
At the same time, a spiritual weapon that looked like a long sword appeared in his hand.
Holding a long knife in his hand, he walked quickly towards the female cultivator opposite him.
Seeing this scene, the disciples below the stage were excited, "This is Senior Brother Wu's top-grade spiritual weapon, the Jade Blood Long Sword."
"Brother Wu took out his Jade Blood Blade as soon as he came up. It seems he wants to end the battle quickly."
The disciples were excited but also a little regretful. It would be boring if a fight ended too quickly.
Looking at Wu Shen coming towards her, Xu Chunniang's expression remained unchanged. Five water arrows appeared out of thin air and shot towards him rapidly.
Wu Shen swung his blood-red sword and cut off the three nearest water arrows. Then he moved to the side and avoided the two water arrows behind him.
His series of movements were smooth and fluid, and it was obvious that he had rich combat experience.
Wu Shen quickly dealt with five water arrows and was about to move forward when five more water arrows came towards him.
He was secretly shocked at how fast this female cultivator cast spells!
Wu Shen cheered up and dealt with it. When he had dealt with the water arrows, another water arrow came at him, one point faster than before.
Wu Shen was immediately caught in a tough battle.
At first, the disciples under the ring were convinced that the female cultivator's methods were too simple and she would be defeated soon.
But as time went by, the female cultivator remained calm and composed. On the other hand, Senior Brother Wu Shen was forced into a state of disarray and was at a loss as to what to do because of some minor water arrow techniques.
"It's just some water arrows. I think Senior Brother Wu can handle it."
The disciple who once followed Wu Shen to the Hundred Demons Mountain Range frowned and said.
"Brother Wu's strength lies in his natural strength, but this sister is very skilled in magic. Her water arrow technique is impenetrable and directly overwhelmed Brother Wu, making him unable to breathe. He can't show his advantage at all."
"If this continues, it will be very disadvantageous to Senior Brother Wu."
The disciples below the arena could all see the problem, and Wu Shen himself was well aware of it. He had previously underestimated this female cultivator.
This can't go on any longer!
He took a deep breath and added several protective talismans to his body, intending to withstand the next round of water arrows and rush forward.
However, the female cultivator on the opposite side seemed to have anticipated his reaction and increased the number of water arrows at the same time.
Looking at the ten water arrows, Wu Shen's expression changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and chose to force his way through.
He held the blood-red long sword in his hand and slashed at the water arrows fiercely, cutting off most of them.
However, three water arrows came rushing towards him, directly piercing through the golden and black shield around his body and landing on his chest.
Wu Shen only felt a pain in his chest, his blood and energy surging, and his body was pushed back by the force.
Before he could stand firm, five more water arrows came towards him.
He barely managed to deal with these water arrows, but in the blink of an eye he was caught in the same predicament as before.
Wu Shen just felt that this battle was extremely frustrating. He had all the supernatural powers but no chance to display them, and was forced into such a situation by some water arrow techniques.
"If this continues, Senior Brother Wu Shen will definitely lose."
"The sister on the opposite side not only casts spells quickly, but also grasps the timing accurately. Senior Brother Wu is completely suppressed."
"What a pity! Senior Brother Wu is good at attacking but not at defending, so he lost the initiative. I have never heard of this Senior Sister Xu Chunniang, but I never thought she would be better than Senior Brother Wu Shen in one move."
At this point in the fight, the disciples below the ring had already realized that Wu Shen was likely to lose.
After that, he tried to break through several times, but without exception, he was easily suppressed by Xu Chunniang.
Finally, he couldn't stand the continuous water arrows anymore and chose to admit defeat.
The moment he shouted "surrender", the battle came to an end.
Wu Shen was really unwilling to accept this. This was his first time participating in the outer sect competition. He had thought that with his strength, he should be able to get into the top 50 if he tried hard. However, he never expected that he would be defeated in the first game.
But if you insist on not admitting defeat, you will lose your life.
Wu Shen stiffened his neck, his face flushed, and stared at Xu Chunniang, "I don't think I will lose to you if we fight again. This time I was not well prepared, so I was held back by you. If I get close to you, you will be defeated in a minute."
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly when she heard this and jumped off the stage without any response.
Just because she only used water arrows doesn't mean she only knows how to use water arrows.
If Wu Shen really got close to her, it was still unclear whether he could still walk upright.
Looking at Xu Chunniang's departing back, many outer disciples looked at her with admiration.
"Wow, this senior sister is so amazing. She is unknown, but she was able to defeat Senior Brother Wu Shen."
"She never used a spiritual weapon from the beginning to the end. Is it possible that Senior Brother Wu Shen is not worthy of her using a spiritual weapon?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let Senior Brother Wu Shen hear you. Senior Brother Wu hasn't left yet."
Wu Shen's face froze. He no longer had the face to stay where he was. He quickly walked away.
Only one fight was scheduled two days before the preliminaries. Only the winner of the first fight could participate in the next fight. The loser was eliminated directly and disqualified.
By the third day of the preliminaries, the number of participants had been reduced by half.
Every day thereafter, the number of people will be halved again until only the strongest 100 people remain in each battle zone.
In the following fight, Xu Chunniang encountered an opponent who was not as strong as Wu Shen, but she still won easily using only water arrows.
After once again successfully forcing her opponent to surrender and successfully advancing, Xu Chunniang jumped off the Yijiu ring and cheers broke out behind her.
It turned out that her four consecutive victories and unique combat methods attracted a lot of attention in just a few days.
"After this match, Senior Sister Xu has successfully made it into the top 100 in Division B. She will be able to participate in the official outer sect competition tomorrow. I wonder how far Senior Sister Xu can go in this competition."
"Although Senior Sister Xu is participating in the outer sect competition for the first time, it can be seen that she always wins by using the water arrow technique. She must have many tricks up her sleeve. She should be able to at least make it into the top 50."
Another disciple sneered and disagreed with this statement.
"Top 50? You think the outer sect competition is too simple. Who among those who can stand out in the major battle zones does not have outstanding qualities
It’s true that Senior Sister Xu defeated Senior Brother Wu Shen, but it’s good that she made it into the top 100 of the competition. If she had worse luck and met a stronger senior brother or sister in advance, she might not even make it into the top 100.”
What this disciple said is not impossible. There have always been some disciples who are quite capable and could have gone further in the competition, but they ran into powerful opponents early on and returned home empty-handed.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, he smiled smugly, "I admit that Senior Sister Xu has some skills, but every time there is an outer sect competition, there are no less than 20 to 30 "dark horses" like her who break through the siege, but only a few can enter the finals. Tomorrow is the official competition, and the fun has just begun, so just wait and see."
Xu Chunniang was unaware of the young disciples' speculations about her. After the competition, she was preparing to return to the teaching hall as usual, but she met a man on the way.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with weathered features and a familiar face.
