Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 257 Winning streak

Among these ten champions, Huang Hao stands out. Rather than proactively challenging others one by one, Huang Hao prefers to sit back and wait for his opponents to challenge him. After all, each of the ten champions possesses a certain pride, believing they are capable of handling any challenge.

In stark contrast, Wu Ming chose not to step onto the ring and become the champion. For Wu Ming, the outcome seemed to be largely unchanged.

At this moment, he was silently pondering, "Even if I can finally achieve a better ranking, what good will it do? The rewards won't change, and I have no hope of ever making it into the top ten anyway. If I had won the previous competition, perhaps I could have fought hard and achieved a higher ranking. But now that things have come to this, I might as well just let things take their course."

In reality, at this point, the competition had little to do with Wu Ming. Therefore, Wu Ming decisively let go of his obsession with ranking. He then leisurely strolled over to where Li Fei, Zhao Xiaohai, and the others were, focusing their attention on the intense competition Huang Hao was participating in.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Wang Xiaohu saw Wu Ming walking slowly, and asked curiously: "Brother Ming, why didn't you initiate the challenge?" This sudden question instantly attracted the attention of Li Fei and Zhao Xiaohai around him.

Li Fei on the side also had a puzzled look on his face, and immediately echoed: "Yeah, Wu Ming, why did you suddenly come to us? According to common sense, shouldn't everyone actively strive for a better ranking at this time?" For a moment, the other few people cast puzzled looks, obviously very surprised by Wu Ming's behavior at the moment.

Facing everyone's questions, Wu Ming simply raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then responded with a nonchalant tone: "Haha, don't worry, everyone! The competition has just begun, and there's still early! As for me, I'm going to take a look at how Huang Hao is doing, and by the way, give him some encouragement and cheer him up!"

However, only Wu Ming knew that this was just an excuse. After all, if he directly admitted that he no longer cared about his ranking, or even that he was too lazy to challenge others, it would undoubtedly seem like a deliberate show-off to disciples like Li Fei who hadn't even made the top 100. So, after some thought, he came up with this seemingly reasonable excuse to cover up the issue.

After Huang Hao successfully ascended to the ring's title, he began to face a steady stream of challenges from other disciples. The first three challengers were all ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, and the difference in strength between them and Huang Hao was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth. Facing these opponents, Huang Hao demonstrated absolute dominance, easily defeating each challenge with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

His clean and smooth fighting style, like flowing water, was not only pleasing to the eye but also deeply captivated the hearts of the many disciples present. People were filled with admiration and praise for this exceptionally powerful warrior, and naturally, Huang Hao gained a large number of loyal supporters.

After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak and martial arts are respected, the strong are always the object of everyone's envy and pursuit. With the accumulation of victory after victory, Huang Hao's reputation is rising again.

However, when the fourth challenger took the stage, the situation instantly became tense. This person, Ye Qing, was a disciple at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Among the outer disciples, he was also among the most prestigious, a leader among the veteran masters. Even more fearsome was his unfathomable cultivation, making it difficult to gauge his true strength.

As soon as Ye Qing stepped onto the stage, his aura surged out like a tidal wave, sweeping towards Huang Hao. In an instant, the entire stage seemed to be enveloped by an invisible pressure.

Facing such a formidable foe, Huang Hao dared not neglect his attack and immediately engaged him with full concentration. For a moment, the two men engaged in a fierce battle, their weapons clashing and their energy overflowing, the fight becoming a close one.

The disciples watching from the stands couldn't help but whisper and discuss the situation. Some disciples thought Huang Hao might be in trouble and his winning streak would soon end; but many others remained confident that Huang Hao could turn the tide and maintain his undefeated streak. For a moment, the atmosphere on the sidelines was extremely heated, with cheers and shouts rising and falling.

"This Ye Qing is truly worthy of his reputation! It seems Huang Hao's winning streak is about to encounter some obstacles!" Zhao Xiaohai frowned slightly, his face full of worry. As he spoke, he occasionally cast concerned glances at the two men fighting fiercely on the court.

"Oh, I don't think so! Brother Hao is really amazing. He won't let us down. He will definitely make it through and maintain his winning streak!" Wang Xiaohu, standing nearby, was excited and full of confidence in Huang Hao. At this moment, he had become a loyal fan of Huang Hao and firmly believed that Huang Hao would win.

At this time, Li Fei turned to look at Wu Ming, who had been silent beside him, and asked, "Wu Ming, in your opinion, can Huang Hao win this competition?"

Wu Ming pondered for a moment, then slowly replied, "Hmm... Honestly, this is a hard one to judge. Judging from the current situation, the two are roughly evenly matched, but if I had to give a single conclusion, I think Huang Hao might have a slightly better chance of winning. After all, based on the previous matches, I feel like Huang Hao hasn't fully demonstrated his true strength; he's probably still holding back."

As everyone was discussing this, the battle on the field intensified. Huang Hao and Ye Qing exchanged blows, neither willing to yield, and in the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged dozens of rounds. However, gradually, the situation began to shift in Huang Hao's favor. Huang Hao gradually gained the upper hand, his moves becoming increasingly fierce, his offensive surge unleashing a torrential downpour upon Ye Qing. Despite Ye Qing's desperate resistance, he was ultimately unable to withstand Huang Hao's ferocious attacks.

A moment later, the outcome was finally decided. Huang Hao, relying on his profound Zhen Yuan and exceptional combat skills, successfully overpowered Ye Qing and ultimately defeated him. The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, applauding Huang Hao's brilliant performance.

Huang Hao was truly amazing! He was able to defeat Ye Qing so easily, considering Ye Qing was a truly formidable expert. After this battle, everyone was impressed by Huang Hao and marveled at his immense strength.
