C268 Midfield Break
In the first round, Nie Zhen naturally did not have any suspense when facing that Ice River Valley disciple. He knocked him off the stage in a few exchanges, and did not even mention anything about holding on for an incense stick of time.
There was no suspense in the second round. The two disciples were not Nie Zhen's match at all, once the Shura's Murderous Aura was released, they would immediately lie down. How could they be a match for Nie Zhen? After being defeated by Nie Zhen, the second round also passed in less than an incense's time.
In the third round of the competition, the three opponents fought at the same time, but in the first two rounds, Nie Zhen had already injured the first and second ranked disciples of Ice River Valley with his Shura's Murderous Aura, causing them to be attacked unrestrainedly by the Shura's Murderous Aura, and were simply unable to display their full strength. As for the third ranked disciple of Ice River Valley, his strength was far from Nie Zhen's, and as expected, after a short twenty-odd rounds, the third ranked disciple was knocked off the stage by Nie Zhen.
When it came to the fourth round, the four disciples attacked at the same time, but it was not difficult for Nie Zhen at all. Forget about the four Ice River Valley disciples, even if Origin Sect were to be surrounded and attacked by the elder-level experts, he would still be able to carve out a path of blood.
However, considering the effects, Nie Zhen didn't want to stand out too much. Therefore, he didn't become too strong in the fourth round. Instead, he endured for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, and successfully scored a hundred points.
Qin Wuyan was the next to take the stage, and his attack did not take into account the effects at all, because he had been holding back before, and right now, he had a stomach full of anger that could not be spread at all, just so the Ice River Valley disciples could vent their anger.
The third round was not much different from the first two rounds. These three disciples had just experienced Nie Zhen's attack, and the spiritual energy in their body was still empty. How could they be Qin Wuyan's opponent? They were not even exchanged for long before they were all defeated by Qin Wuyan.
In the last round, Qin Wuyan's attack was even more decisive than Nie Zhen's because the first three disciples had already suffered injuries and the spiritual energy in his body had already been consumed to the limit. Qin Wuyan first did not fight head-on with the strongest disciple of the fourth move, but first started to fight with it.
In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Qin Wuyan had knocked all three disciples off the stage and then dealt with the fourth move with all of his strength.
Qin Wuyan was the Duobao Sect, First Senior Brother, and his strength was not something that could be compared to First Senior Brother. If the four of them were to join hands, he would still be able to put in a bit of effort, but now, he had to face Qin Wuyan's attack alone, and it was impossible for him to win.
After slightly resisting a few moves, he knew that he was not Qin Wuyan's opponent no matter what. The fourth disciple of Ice River Valley simply left the stage and admitted defeat.
Everyone knew that when facing those two strongest disciples from either Duobao Sect or Ice River Valley, it was basically impossible to prevent them from obtaining a perfect score. Even if they were to also use their strongest disciples as leaders, the result would still be the same.
Since that was the case, it would be better to give up and conserve his physical strength and spiritual energy. After all, the next round would start six hours later.
When the competition on Nie Zhen's side ended, everyone's attention was focused on the other two stages. On Ice River Valley's stage, where Ice River Valley attacked Origin Sect, the Ice River Valley's disciples had already finished competing as well. The strongest Ice River Valley disciples Huang Xin and Wei Chao, as expected, passed the four stages consecutively and obtained a perfect score.
As for the situation regarding Origin Sect's attack on Duobao Sect, because the two sects were filled with contradictions and enmity, Origin Sect's attack line was extremely vicious. It was simply like playing to the death, as if they wanted to vent all of their anger onto the Duobao Sect's disciples.
However, the Duobao Sect disciples were not stupid. Even though they tried their best to resist, because the Origin Sect's offensive was too fierce, and because the Origin Sect itself had already lost its competitiveness, they did not go all out. After all, the next round of Ice River Valley defense was the most important.
Thus, the attack line score obtained from Origin Sect was considered as guest, so the head disciple Shangguan Yu naturally got a hundred points. The other three disciples got one sixty points and two thirty points respectively, so the total score was two hundred and twenty points.
As for the Duobao Sect, Nie Zhen and Qin Wuyan each got 100 points, while Lu Dong and Pei Qing got 30 points each, with a total score of 260 points.
The person with the highest score in this round of competitions was Ice River Valley. The two disciples got 100 points, the two disciples got 60 points, and the total score was 320 points.
At the current stage, the Ice River Valley rankings of the three major sects were the highest, surpassing the Duobao Sect rank. The total score of 1820 points, followed by the Duobao Sect rank, was 1800 points, and the lowest was the Origin Sect rank, with only 970 points.
Once this score was revealed, the Origin Sect would already be destined to be at the bottom. Even if the other two sects were to fight in the next round without a single point, and the Origin Sect would get a perfect score, they would still be at the bottom.
From the beginning of the exchange tournament, his Origin Sect had always been at a disadvantage at the bottom. Until the end of the exchange tournament, it could be said to be a humiliation that only appeared once in a hundred years.
But at the last moment, they were able to drag Duobao Sect down, and let their Duobao Sect results be surpassed by their Ice River Valley, which finally allowed them to slow down. If everyone in the next round of Three Sects performed as per normal, their Ice River Valley should be able to firmly hold the first place.
Although Ice River Valley was currently only ten points higher than Duobao Sect, sometimes, it was just a small ten points, and sometimes, it was still something that could not be surpassed.
"Brothers, in the next round, everyone must work hard and definitely block the attacks of the Duobao Sect's disciples. As long as we perform normally, our Duobao Sect will not win against our Ice River Valley." During the half-time break, Shangguan Yu was a member of the Origin Sect.
"We understand, First Senior Brother. Even if our sect is at the bottom this time, we must not let anyone from Duobao Sect have an easy time!" The Origin Sect's disciples were all determined to target Duobao Sect.
As for the Duobao Sect, the atmosphere was a bit heavy. After all, their original advantage no longer existed, and if they didn't go all out for the next round, then it would be too late.
The Second Sect Master, Duan Rong, and Fifth Sect Master, Zheng Ying, personally went up to battle. They respectively opened a small stove for Liu Tie and Pei Qing. Taking advantage of the break of six hours, their fighting strength was raised to a whole new level.
With Nie Zhen's medicinal pellets as a backer, the disciples of Duobao Sect did not need to worry about recovering their spirit energy. They also knew that it was time for them to risk their lives.
On the other side of the attack line, Nie Zhen and Qin Wuyan actually didn't have much to show for it. No matter what, they would get 100 points, so the key to improving the overall result of the attack line was Lu Dong and Pei Qing.
Especially Lu Dong, at this moment, he clenched his fists and swore to himself that in the next competition, he would definitely get sixty points. In the last round, he was only missing one breath, otherwise, his Duobao Sect would still have the advantage.
This matter made him vexed for a long time, and he felt that his own lack of effort had caused his Duobao Sect to be at a disadvantage.
"Junior Sister Song, the four of you must work hard when facing the attacks of the Ice River Valley disciples. Huang Xin and Wei Chao for the Ice River Valley s two don't need to be bothered about, but for the previous two strikes, it would be best to lower their scores as low as possible." Qin Wuyan was also helpless. Even he and Nie Zhen could only get 100 points at most. Otherwise, Nie Zhen could get a string of eight points.
"Don't worry, First Senior Brother. This time, even if we have to put our lives on the line, we will stop them!" Xiao Ding and Bian Jean simultaneously swore.
Amongst the disciples who took part in Duobao Sect matches, the two of them were the weakest. For the two of them to be in charge of the first and second rounds, it was very likely that they would get points.
Nie Zhen put his hands on their shoulders and said, "Seniors, don't feel too much pressure. After all, it's just an exchange competition. If we can't do it again, just perform normally. Don't say anything about not fighting with your life on the line."
"Kid Nie!" Don't forget, this competition's prizes are very likely to have a qilin bloodline! No one can say that they will give up the entire Duobao Sect, but you definitely have to win! " Ink Qilin, who was inside Nie Zhen's body, said worriedly.
But now that the score had been exceeded, Ink Qilin was naturally anxious. Ink Qilin was a Qilin Divine Beast, so he naturally knew how precious the Qilin Bloodline was. It had already treated Nie Zhen as one of its own, so he naturally hoped that the more cards in Nie Zhen's hand, the better.
"Don't worry, Brother Mo. Aside from you and me, I'm afraid no one else here knows that the jade is a Qilin bloodline, right? Everyone thought that it would be just an ordinary piece of jade. Even if we can't get the championship and the jade is taken by someone else, we will just have to directly intercept them halfway! " Nie Zhen said to Ink Qilin.
"Eh …." Ink Qilin was at a loss for words and then laughed loudly: "Ahaha! So it turns out that you still have another plan! [No wonder I was so confident all this time. I didn't expect you to be such a bad guy!] I think more and more highly of you! "
After hearing what Nie Zhen said, Ink Qilin already calmed down. Even if he didn't win the championship, this piece of jade was merely obtained by the disciples of Ice River Valley. How could the disciples of Ice River Valley be a match for Nie Zhen?
Of course, if it really wasn't possible, Ink Qilin didn't mind personally going to snatch the Qilin's bloodline.
Currently, the atmosphere at the Ice River Valley side was the most relaxed. With the assistance of Origin Sect, their results had already surpassed the Duobao Sect. As long as they could use their abilities normally, they would basically be able to win the championship.
