The current top ten are Zhuge Changtian from Heavenly Martial Academy, Murong Ming from the Murong Family, Xuan Wudao from Xuanjian Sect, Situ Kong from Sidu Family, Xuanji Zi from Tai Xuan Sect, Xiao Zhantian from Martial Extreme Sect, Wan Xuan from Wandan Sect, Ren Pingsheng from Azure Wind Sword Sect, and the unidentified Yin Wuying and Tang Sheng.
Mo Nai He from Thunder Sound Sect has been replaced by Yin Wuying, and Zhou Luofeng lost to Xuanji Zi from Tai Xuan Sect. As for Xuan Yi from Divine Blade Sect, Ouyang Zi from Ouyang Family, Mo Nai He from Thunder Sound Sect, and Zhou Luofeng, one of the Dark Horses, they all missed the chance to enter the top ten and are now only competing for rankings beyond the tenth place.
This result left many people stunned for a while. They did not expect that three individuals would be eliminated in this round of Top Ten Experts. Among the top ten, Ren Pingsheng, Tang Sheng, and Wan Xuan from Wandan Sect have taken their places.
Many were surprised by Ren Pingsheng and Tang Sheng. They had not shown particularly outstanding performances before but ended up making it to the end. Ren Pingsheng defeated Ying Yitian, another Dark Horse, twice in a row, while Tang Sheng easily defeated an opponent at the Half-Step Monarch level.
Wan Xuan from Wandan Sect is known as the ruler of Jizhou and is not surprising given her strength. However, it was unexpected that these two individuals without significant backgrounds made it into the top ten.
Regardless of how they felt about it, the fact remains. The spots in the top ten have been confirmed, and now the competition shifts to those ranked eleventh to twentieth. It is important to note that the top fifteen will receive Concentration Pills as a reward; even if one does not make it into the top ten, entering the top fifteen still yields considerable benefits.
Unfortunately, there were too many talented Monsters this time; with three eliminated from the Top Ten Experts, it effectively compressed five spots down to three. Adding in Zhou Luofeng, who is no less than a top expert among Dark Horses, only one spot remains available unless someone can defeat any of them.
In the final rankings, Mo Nai He secured eleventh place, Xuan Yi took twelfth place, Zhou Luofeng came in thirteenth place, and Ouyang Zi was fourteenth. Surprisingly, fifteenth place went to Tang Danqing from High-Level Sect Realm, another Dark Horse.
He defeated two opponents in succession to claim the last available reward spot, earning him a new level of respect among many. After entering the top twenty, he had completely faded into obscurity. Although he could defeat Perfect Sect Level warriors, he still fell short against Half-Step Monarchs. Unexpectedly, he suddenly unleashed his power this time and used a terrifying Secret Technique to defeat two Half-Step Monarchs.
As for Yun Xingzi familiar to Ren Pingsheng, he also possessed Half-Step Monarch cultivation but unfortunately lacked comprehension of Profound Meaning and did not even reach Four Parts. Ultimately he secured eighteenth place among those who came together with him—a decent achievement.
After the competition for eleventh to twentieth places concluded that day, the Duel also came to an end. The final Duel for the top ten will take place tomorrow. At this point, there are still four days until the opening of Ascension Pool. Tomorrow will be the ranking match for the top ten.
The ten individuals exchanged glances; an inexplicable atmosphere rippled among them. One of them would become an opponent tomorrow; to advance further meant continuous victories—there could be no retreat regardless of who stood against them.
"Tomorrow will be the most crucial battle; we cannot lose. There are still many people I haven't faced yet!" Situ Kong murmured as he gazed at the night sky.
"The competition for first place will likely be intense! I wonder if there will be any opportunities. If Cloud Realm can make some breakthroughs tonight, it would surely assist me tomorrow," Ren Pingsheng thought quietly as he sat in his room meditating with a calm expression.
The geniuses who entered the top ten mostly kept to themselves. Some like Ren Pingsheng were cultivating while others like Situ Kong were deep in thought. They all understood that tomorrow would be their most critical battle. Although they had all entered the top ten and gained opportunities at Ascension Pool as talented Monsters, they could not afford to stop here.
Only through continuous victories and defeating strong opponents could they reach their peak and become truly unrivaled champions.
After a night without incident, when sunlight pierced through darkness once more, a new day arrived.
Jizhou City became lively as everyone discussed the upcoming battle for the top ten and speculated on who would ultimately rise to the summit. The betting houses were bustling with business as wealthy patrons generously wagered their Gold and Silver Spirit Stones on their favored geniuses.
Tianwu Square Audience Seats are filled with people, all quietly watching the ten individuals in the distance. At this moment, Night Sky Bright stands on the Arena, explaining the rules of this Match.
“First, congratulations to the ten of you for earning the opportunity to enter the Ascension Pool. The next ranking will still be determined by a draw for duels. The strength of the ten of you is quite similar, so it doesn't matter much who your opponent is. Therefore, let's begin the draw.”
After he finished speaking, ten Number Tags appeared before the ten individuals, floating up and down. They all reached out to take one without hesitation.
“Alright, these Number Tags only have numbers from one to five. Those who draw the same number will be opponents for this round, and the winners will enter the top five. Starting from number one, the Match begins.” He returned to the high platform, leaving the Arena to them.
“Ha ha, what good luck.” Ren Pingsheng looked at the Number Tag in his hand and shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect to be first; he quickly stepped onto the Arena.
However, upon seeing who else had arrived on the Arena, his expression became even more peculiar. He recognized this person; it was Xuanjian Sect’s Xuan Wudao, the one who claimed he would teach him a lesson.
“What a coincidence, my opponent is actually you.”
“Isn't that better? I've always wanted to teach you a lesson. I thought I wouldn't have a chance, but it seems fate has brought us together. You can't escape now.” Xuan Wudao looked at Ren Pingsheng, saying with a playful expression.
“Oh really? It's a bit early to say that. Let's see if you can win against me first! Otherwise, won't that be embarrassing for you?” He smiled lightly and replied without holding back.
“Just you? I don’t know what kind of luck you’ve had to make it into the top ten. But once you meet a real expert, your true colors will show.”
“I used to think that people from Xuanjian Sect were arrogant. Now I see you're even more conceited. I hope by the end of this Duel, you'll still be able to say such things.” Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly, speaking with some sarcasm.
“Hmph, since you don't appreciate my kindness, I won't hold back. Although we are both from Snow State, don't expect me to go easy on you.” Xuan Wudao's expression turned cold as he spoke in a chilling tone.
“I certainly won't either; let's cut out the nonsense. I'm curious how you plan to teach me a lesson.”
“Then you'll just have to try it yourself!” His aura surged, enveloping the entire Arena. An overwhelming sharpness made people's hearts chill as it pressed directly towards Ren Pingsheng.
“You think you can suppress me with mere momentum? You underestimate me too much.” Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly as he unleashed his own aura of a Half-Step Monarch, equally unwavering. The complete Sword Momentum met his opponent's force head-on. Although it couldn't match the ferocity of Golden Principle, it remained steadfast.
“Very well, First Sword of Xuanjian, Slash!” Xuan Wudao's expression turned icy; clearly dissatisfied with being unable to suppress Ren Pingsheng's momentum. He swung his Longsword downwards, infusing boundless sharpness into his strike as he unleashed his Sword Qi. A shallow crack formed in the air.
“Wind Thunder Flash!” Without changing his expression, Ren Pingsheng raised his Windscar Sword, and a flash of Sword Qi appeared in an instant. It blocked his opponent's strike, creating a powerful shockwave that echoed throughout the entire Arena.
“Child's play!” At that moment, another sword suddenly pierced through from one side of the shockwave. He let out a soft grunt; with a twist of his Windscar Sword, he blocked and countered with a flick of his wrist. The cold stars flickered as they pierced into the shockwave.
“Clang clang…” The surroundings were completely hazy, yet both individuals seemed to know where each other was as their two Longswords clashed repeatedly, sparking bursts of fire.
"Bang..." The two collided with each other and then retreated simultaneously. Xuan Wudao continued his movements, slashing diagonally with his sword, "Second Sword of the Profound Sword, Slash!"
The impact wave that had almost dissipated was completely cut away by this sword. In a flash, he appeared right in front of Ren Pingsheng, his terrifying aura causing Ren Pingsheng's clothes to rustle.
"Your Sword Technique can't hurt me; you should show your true abilities!" He frowned slightly and said calmly. This sword only had Four Parts of the Golden Realm, and he had comprehended Sixty-Five Percent of the Wind Thunder Flash, which he could easily block.
The Windscar Sword trembled, and Wind Thunder Flash was unleashed again, blocking the opponent's Sword Qi. Unable to hold back, he remarked. Back when he battled Ying Yitian, his Profound Meaning was already close to fifty percent, yet he still lost to him; Xuan Wudao was indeed overconfident.
"Hehe, now this is fun. If I defeated you in one blow, it would be boring." His voice echoed from all around, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.
"Fun? Just wait until you cry!" Ren Pingsheng narrowed his eyes and shifted his form. As the roaring sound gradually faded, he charged forward. Six Phantom Bodies lunged directly at Xuan Wudao.
"I knew you would use this move; I have a Movement Technique too!" Xuan Wudao mocked as he also shifted, creating over a dozen phantoms that were indistinguishable from the real one. As soon as they appeared, a flurry of swords followed.
"Oh really?" He smiled faintly and slashed out with his sword; the six Phantom Bodies made the same move. The howling wind surged as six Sword Qis swept in all directions. All of Xuan Wudao's phantoms vanished, leaving only his true self not far away, looking somewhat astonished.
"Damn it, they were all real Phantom Bodies." He watched as the six Sword Qis approached and his expression changed slightly. After cursing under his breath, he turned and executed a horizontal slash. The golden Sword Qi struck first and shattered the six Sword Qis, instead reaching Ren Pingsheng.
"I told you it was useless." Ren Pingsheng said softly. With a gentle tap of the Windscar Sword, dozens of sword shadows immediately countered that Sword Qi; he only took a step back before dispelling it.
"Oh really? Then I won't play with you anymore. Third Sword of the Profound Sword, Slash!" He said coldly. As this sword came down, it revealed the terror of his strength. The Golden Principle was even deeper than Ying Yitian's; with one sword strike, the entire Arena shook.
