Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the arena.
He saw that ye Zhilan was currently fighting with someone from an unknown faction.
As their cultivation levels were similar, the two sides were evenly matched.
To Chen Xiaobei's surprise, ye Zhilan's opponent was able to release a special ability that could interfere with Saint Qi.
It was like an energy field. About 30% of ye Zhilan's attacks would be bounced off each time.
&Quot; how can there be such a special ability!? &Quot;
"Is that the legendary Holy Spirit race's ability?" the Holy corpse Emperor asked in surprise. This was too heaven-defying! Repelling a portion of the opponent's energy is equivalent to gaining an advantage in cultivation!"
Ye Hongtian nodded and said,"that's right!" Fortunately, Zhilan's reaction was quick, otherwise she would have been at a disadvantage!"
It had to be said that ye Zhilan's combat talent was truly outstanding.
Under the same cultivation level, when faced with the enemy's cheat-like special ability, ye Zhilan always relied on her extremely fast reaction speed and excellent combat awareness to escape danger.
If it was someone else, they would have been utterly defeated.
"It's dangerous!"
Chen Xiaobei exclaimed.
His cultivation level was far higher than ye Hongtian and the Holy corpse Emperor, so he was able to see the situation much more clearly.
Just when everyone thought that ye Zhilan and her opponent were evenly matched, Chen Xiaobei had already noticed the problem.
"Whoosh ..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the ring, the opponent suddenly activated his special ability and removed 30% of the power from ye Zhilan's attack.
Ye Zhilan was the same as before. She still adopted the strategy of temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.
He dodged while preserving his strength to defend.
However, this time, ye Zhilan never expected that her opponent, who was supposed to miss like before, would suddenly increase his speed. Like a ghost, he appeared behind ye Zhilan from an extremely tricky angle.
"Hmph Hmph! I was just numbing you just now! I made you think that you could easily avoid my attacks! When you let your guard down, I'll give you a fatal blow!"
The opponent laughed evilly.
He released all his Saint Qi, forming a huge golden sword, and slashed at ye Zhilan's back.
"Not good! The enemy is too cunning!"
Ye Hongtian and the Holy corpse Emperor finally realized what was going on and exclaimed.
It was no wonder that this opponent clearly had an extremely strong ability but was evenly matched with ye Zhilan.
It turned out that he had been hiding his strength all along so that ye Zhilan would let her guard down.
This was because the cultivation of the two sides was too close. If they didn't use any tricks and fought head-on, it was hard to say who would win.
Therefore, this opponent had used a cunning scheme to increase his chances of winning to almost 100%.
"We're finished!"
Chen Xiaobei, ye Hongtian, and the Holy corpse Emperor were all in despair.
Under such circumstances, ye Zhilan's death was certain.
"Swish!"
In the next moment, the opponent's huge golden sword directly cut ye Zhilan's body into two!
"Hahaha ..."
The man laughed proudly and raised his arms high to celebrate his victory.
However, he didn't notice that ye Zhilan's body, which had been cut in half, didn't have a single drop of blood.
"Swish!"
At this moment, ye Zhilan's broken body suddenly scattered. It was actually an illusion.
Ye Zhilan's actual body had already appeared behind that person.
With a cold flash, ye Zhilan released a Silver Saint Qi and cut off the man's head.
&Quot; what ... What's going on?! &Quot;
That person's primordial spirit flew out from the corpse and looked at ye Zhilan in disbelief.
"Although you were hiding your strength, I didn't use my full strength either!"
Ye Zhilan smiled indifferently and said,"this is the special ability of my second primordial spirit that I've comprehended. Even my grandfather doesn't know about it!" It was my hidden trump card, but I didn't expect you to force it out in the first round!"
"Clone teleportation ... I ... I admit defeat ..." He said.
The opponent had lost his physical body and had been using his special ability all this time. He had used up too much of his mental strength and was no longer able to fight.
&Quot; in challenge ring No. 69, Deng chaochao has admitted defeat. The winner is ye Zhilan of Hong Tian city! &Quot;
With a loud voice, ye Zhilan and her opponent were sent out of the arena.
"Swish!"
Ye Zhilan flew directly to the stands.
"You little girl! Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were hiding the special ability of your second primordial spirit? You scared this old man to death!" Ye Hongtian wiped off his cold sweat. He was so worried just now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYe Zhilan quickly explained,"I'm just trying to hide a trump card." If Grandpa had known about this beforehand, he would've acted as if victory was already in his grasp, and my opponent would've been on guard!"
"Hmm ... That makes sense!" Ye Hongtian looked at his granddaughter lovingly and felt gratified from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing this, even the sacred corpse Emperor praised ye Zhilan, " "Eldest miss ye is really talented! To be able to comprehend the special ability of a second primordial spirit, it's quite rare even among the younger generation!"
"Many thanks for senior's praise!"
Ye Zhilan smiled, looked at Chen Xiaobei and asked, " "Young master Chen, what do you think?"
"I was also shocked ..."
&Quot; you're really good at fighting! You're talented and have great acting skills! I'm really impressed! &Quot; Chen Xiaobei praised.
"I'm impressed? Do you mean that you used to think I was weak?" Ye Zhilan said, slightly startled.
&Quot; no, that's not what I meant ... &Quot; Chen Xiaobei shrugged and laughed in his heart. &Quot; you're also very weak now. &Quot;
"You're the one who's really made me look at you in a new light!"
Ye Zhilan said in surprise, " I thought you would admit defeat. I didn't expect that in just three months, you have already reached the strength of an intermediate nine-star true sage. Your cultivation level is really going against the heavens! &Quot;
&Quot; it's alright ... &Quot; Chen Xiaobei smiled."Actually, I'm quite strong. You guys are underestimating me!"
"What? Are you hiding your cultivation?" Ye Zhilan's face was full of surprise. &Quot; that's impossible. He's advanced so many realms in three months. It's impossible for him to still be hiding something ... &Quot;
"My good disciple!" The Holy corpse Emperor frowned. Don't force yourself! More than four hundred people were eliminated in the first round, and the remaining ones were almost all Saint Kings and above. Even if you were still hiding something, you had no chance of winning! Just admit defeat!"
"Yup!" "You've already exceeded our expectations by winning the first round. There's no need to take any more risks!" Ye Hongtian said in a deep voice.
Obviously, everyone still cared about Chen Xiaobei and did not want him to take any more risks.
"I will do my best. When I really can't do it, I will naturally admit defeat!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and smiled.
The crowd wanted to persuade him again, but at this moment, a loud voice came from the arena again.
&Quot; the first round of the competition has ended. All participants, please return to the arena. The second round of grouping will be carried out soon! &Quot;
