In the second round of the round-robin tournament, faced with the challenge of the higher-ranked players, the players who had never played before had no choice but to admit defeat.
Yinglong is naturally no exception.
"Su Feiyu!"
Facing this female warrior who was recognized by everyone as the weakest among the top ten contestants and who only made it into the top ten by sheer luck, Yinglong refused to believe it!
"You want to fight! I'll fight you to the end!"
The Eagle Claw Sect master stepped onto the fighting stage in a tit-for-tat manner.
“Do you really think I’m easy to bully? Even though I haven’t recovered yet, I can’t be easily insulted by someone like you who only got into the top ten by luck!”
…
A few minutes later.
Yinglong was knocked off the stage again with a bruised face.
Although Su Feiyu is weak, her level is still on the same level as Yinglong and others.
At best, when the two of them fight, her winning rate is lower than Yinglong's.
But this gap is not absolute.
In addition, Yinglong was obviously not in good shape at the moment. After a fierce fight, she seized an opportunity and kicked Yinglong off the arena, and rolled over twice with the remaining momentum.
With this battle, she successfully won her first victory in the round-robin tournament.
After the host loudly announced the winner and asked Su Feiyu to leave the arena, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heated.
"Next, we would like to invite the new martial arts master who performed the best in this World No. 1 Martial Arts Competition! Although he is not included in the top five seeded contestants, he has proved to the world with his own strength that he is not inferior to any of the seeded contestants!"
The host held the microphone in one hand and pointed at Li Yin with the other hand: "Let's invite contestant Li Yin to the stage!"
“Wow!”
"Li Pin! Li Pin! Li Pin!"
Amidst overwhelming cheers.
His complexion had recovered somewhat compared to when he first arrived, and at first glance, there seemed to be nothing unusual about him. Li Pin slowly stood up from his seat.
He did not perform any body movements, leap forward, or stride forward like other contestants did when they came on stage.
That's how he walked onto the arena step by step.
But it was this simple action that made his popularity continue to rise, and the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people almost broke through the clouds and tore the sky apart.
This enthusiastic cheering brought unspeakable pressure to all the contestants.
Even though they had just seen it, Li Yin was not yet in her best condition.
The tactical instructor beside them also vowed that today might be the best time to defeat Li Pin.
But when Li Yin really stepped onto the arena, everyone still felt inexplicably nervous.
It is true that Li Bin is in poor condition!
But even if he is not in good condition, who can guarantee that he has no fighting power at all!
As long as he still has some fighting power left, even if it's only half...
Apart from a few martial saints, who else dares to say that he is 100% sure of being able to fight against Li Yin who still has half of his combat power
Even those martial saints...
How could they dare to guarantee that Li Yin could only exert half of his combat power
What if he still maintains 70%, 80%, or even 90% of his strength... can they stop him!
"It depends on who Li Yin chooses! By choosing who he chooses, we can guess his condition. Then we can stimulate him based on his character flaws. We are not afraid that he will not respond to the challenge."
Nan Lifeng's tactical instructor said in a deep voice.
Others didn't know and thought Nan Lifeng was seriously injured, but he knew that thanks to the timely action of the Star Refiner, Nan Lifeng was now...
At least 80% of the combat power is still maintained!
If others think he is easy to bully, they are very wrong.
Nan Lifeng also nodded with a serious expression.
This round, he will take back all the glory that he lost in the last round, bit by bit.
Li Yin's eyes swept over everyone.
He directly skipped over Su Feiyu, or rather, directly skipped over all opponents below the Martial Saint realm, and focused his attention on Zhao Yushi, Song Wuya, and the Son of the Sun.
Song Wuya, he promised.
I will invite you to fight again in three days.
Then only Master Zhao Yu and Son of the Sun are left.
He originally wanted to challenge Master Zhao Yu, who was ranked second, but the performance of the Great Sun Saint in the previous round was too amazing, so...
"Son of the Sun!"
Li Yin's eyes fell on the Martial Saint of the Great Sun Sect, and he waved his hand, "Please."
"I!?"
The Holy Son of Sun was slightly stunned.
I almost thought I had heard it wrong.
However, Zhao Yushi and Song Wuya both had smiles on their faces, and they didn't seem surprised by his choice.
"Li Yin, do you want to challenge me?"
The Son of the Sun asked again.
Li Pin nodded slightly.
Suddenly, the Son of the Sun fell silent.
This was a challenge he couldn't refuse.
"Li Yin is obviously not in good condition, yet he is so ignorant as to challenge you at this time. Go ahead. This is your best chance to defeat him."
Dharma King Xuanwu urged hurriedly.
"Do you really think that Li Yin is seriously injured? What if it is a situation where both sides suffer losses?"
The Holy Son of Great Sun said.
"How is that possible?"
"Then do you think Li Yin is the kind of person who likes to bluff?"
The Son of the Sun asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, King Xuanwu's expression froze.
This question…
He couldn't answer.
After a while, he said, "He has taken the initiative to challenge you. You cannot refuse. Therefore, the only thing you can do is to fight him with your best efforts."
Before the Holy Son of the Sun could say anything, the host had already invited him again.
Time does not allow him to delay any longer.
At that moment, he stopped talking, strode forward, and soon arrived at the arena.
He decided to find the answer himself.
"You haven't recovered yet, have you? This is not your peak condition."
The Sun Saint asked: "In this case, why did you choose me?"
"No, I'm fine."
Li Yin said: "Maybe it can't be called a perfect state, but... I am really good at this moment."
Created the Time Candle Dragon.
I also gained new insights into the foundation-building chapter.
The qi and blood in the body, which had been stagnant, were further improved after being optimized and explored in the foundation-building chapter.
This kind of improvement is not something magical or mysterious, but it optimizes and evolves him from an ordinary person to a special person with "natural supernatural powers".
If he continues to practice the foundation-building chapter, one day in the future he might be able to be like Wang Liancheng, who was "born with supernatural powers".
This genius raised his Qi, Blood and Physical Fitness to the limit of 49 at the Baodan realm. With his attainments at the Martial Saint realm, if one could reach his level...
It is not impossible to strengthen the Qi, blood and physique to 54 or 55.
And this is the difference between the Ultimate Martial Saint and the King of the Century.
He is expected to become the King of the Century. Can you say his current condition is not good
"As for my choosing you..."
Li Yin looked at the Sun Saint and smiled: "It's very simple, because you are strong enough."
“Strong enough!”
These two words shocked the Son of the Sun.
He looked at Li Bin's eyes which seemed to be filled with some kind of longing, and seemed to understand something.
He repeated the two words.
“Strong enough!”
The briefest evaluation was the highest recognition for him, the Son of the Sun.
"good!"
The Sun Saint nodded heavily: "Li Pin, I know that I am not as good as you in terms of your body movements and burst. Even though I have great defense, if you can hold a sword... it will be difficult for me to block your sword attack..."
"I don't use a sword."
Li Pin said.
Having weapons or not having weapons has a significant impact on the battle.
Even for Li Bin, weapons can at least increase his combat power by 10% or 20%.
but…
When fighting with others, what he prefers is the reality of the collision of strength against strength, which shakes bones and tears muscles.
That would allow him to more intuitively understand that each person has different strength, will, and beliefs.
"Without a sword..."
The Sun Saint was speechless. After a few seconds, he said, "What I am best at is frontal combat without any fancy moves. Therefore... Next, I will use my secret technique to push forward and perform my strongest move! If you can block this attack, with your body movement, exquisite swordsmanship, and precise control of the fighter plane, I will definitely be no match for you. If you can't block it..."
"I am not as skilled as you, but it is okay for me to die under your fist."
Li Pin smiled slightly.
The Holy Son of the Sun nodded silently.
After a while, looking at his smile, the Sun Saint couldn't help but ask, "Li Yin, has anyone told you that you are arrogant?"
"Arrogant?"
Li Yin was a little surprised: "I am arrogant? Everything I do is done with sincerity, how can I be arrogant?"
"It's not that you don't know swordsmanship. It's obvious that you have more lethality when holding a sharp sword, but you chose to abandon it. Now... you are so confident that you will never lose to me... If this isn't arrogance, what is it?"
The Son of the Sun said quickly.
"That's not called full confidence, but I always have the mental awareness that I will die under the opponent's fist. Since I have embarked on this path, this day is only a matter of time. After all, no one can be invincible all the time, and no one can be undefeated. This is my life motto."
Li Yin tried his best to make his tone sincere: "As for why I don't use a sword, it's because I can't feel the collision of strength better with a sword..."
"No! That's because you have absolute confidence in yourself! Because you know that when you use the sword, this life-and-death fight between the two of us will become meaningless."
The Son of the Sun directly waved his hand to interrupt Li Yin's words. He pointed out bluntly: "Why do you choose to use a sword instead of fists when hunting beasts and monsters? Because... Whether it's an orc warrior or a red-fanged tiger, without exception, they are stronger than me! Even stronger than you! Facing such a terrible opponent, you know in your heart that you will die with your bare hands. Only with a sword and a sharp divine weapon can you win the battle!"
He waved his hand fiercely and said heavily: "You have a lawless arrogance in your bones!"
"Lawlessness..."
Li Yin shook his head: "You are wrong, I abide by the law."
"Heh..."
The Son of the Sun curled his lips.
"I won't argue with you too much, time will prove everything I have done!"
Li Yin paused as he spoke: "But, if you think that I have a kind of lawless arrogance in my bones can better stimulate your fighting spirit... then just treat me as arrogant."
The Holy Son of the Sun hardened his fist.
"Now, can we get started? We've kept you waiting for a long time."
Li Bin looked at the Martial Saint with his arms open, as if he wanted to embrace the upcoming second battle of the Martial Saint after Cheng Yufeng.
"Just as you said, use your strongest punch. Come, let me see how powerful you, the Holy Son that the Great Sun Cult has spent so much effort and money to cultivate, are."
The first chapter of this book is indeed centered around competition, but what follows is just a big free-for-all for the title of King of the Century.
