Chapter 198
The first round ended about an hour after the competition started.
About seventy or eighty percent of the participants were eliminated. The bustling square suddenly became empty. The remaining participants were all in the Mental Wander State.
After all, people in the Gathering Yuan State would have to have luck in order not to run into any Mental Wander States in four consecutive fights and advance to the next round. That chance was too slim.
After a fifteen-minute break, the competition started again. The rules remained the same.
This time, each of them only had to defeat three rivals, but it was actually more difficult, since none of the remaining participants were easy to deal with.
Whether a coincidence or not, Jiang Chen went into the ring again in the first fight.
“What bad luck,” Chu Luo complained. The later the participants started competing, the more time they would have to recover and the more advantages they would receive.
No one had thought Jiang Chen had a great chance to win, but by then, they pitied him even more.
“You don’t deserve to compete with me!”
As Huangfu Hua spoke, he struck his long knife down.
“Yeah?”
Jiang Chen looked up. He suddenly emitted a formidable power that shattered the pressure around them. He brandished his knife to defend himself.
Clang!
Huangfu Hua’s knife hit hard against Jiang Chen’s spiritual knife.
Jiang Chen was physically stronger than the average person. His arms didn’t move at all, nor did his knees bend even a little.
It meant Huangfu Hua’s knife attack had been completely parried by Jiang Chen.
“Looks like your talk is greater than your knife method.”
Jiang Chen smiled at Huangfu Hua slightly and pushed him away forcefully with his arm.
Before Huangfu Hua regained his stance, he followed up and prepared his spiritual knife for an attack.
Huangfu Hua was great too. He forcibly changed his track in the air and landed behind Jiang Chen.
“You parried my knife, but your own knife method is ridiculous,” Huangfu Hua said.
At the same time, he asked himself silently how Jiang Chen had been able to parry his knife.
My state is higher, and I struck from top to bottom. How could he have parried it so perfectly?
Huangfu Hua doubted whether Jiang Chen was secretly wearing a defensive spiritual weapon.
“But, however strong your body is, will it be stronger than my knife?”
Huangfu Hua smiled coldly and struck the knife out for the second time.
“Ghost Strike to Kill: Explode!”
Another knife movement as fierce as angry waves, it perfectly interpreted the knifesmen’s aggression.
As the knife was thrust, wind and thunder were summoned.
“Great knife method. I know it too.”
“Ghost Strike to Kill: Explode!”
To everyone’s surprise, Jiang Chen did what Huangfu Hua had done to the same extent of aggression, as if it was a copy of the latter’s movement.
The two knife movements collided, and the ring cracked from the middle.
This ring had been specially made by the Xia Dynasty. It wasn’t made from average flagstones. It was unimaginable what a great power it had generated when the two knives hit against each other.
“You! Who are you?! How do you know Ghost Strike to Kill too?”
Huangfu Hua hadn’t gained any advantage over Jiang Chen. He was completely shocked. As he spoke, he looked towards his family.
Although the Ghost Strike to Kill wasn’t uniquely owned by his family, it wasn’t a knife method that just anyone could learn.
