There are many people who pay attention to Chu Duan, but even more people who pay attention to the top ten.

Like Nan Wu to Gao Wang, these ten people, who were originally among the disciples of the outer palace, were very powerful existences, and all of them were people who had reached the level of at least six transformations of sword intent and had practiced the ninety-nine forms of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Technique, in other words, they had all reached the limit entry level in terms of strength control.

Therefore, before the Outer Palace's Centennial Contest began, they were already among the top ten disciples of the Outer Palace.

Nan Wu, whose name was read the last time, slowly walked up to the sword fighting platform and walked to the seat with the number one, his face was expressionless, like a high king walking over, everything had to retreat for him.

There is no doubt that the champion of the Outer Palace Centennial Competition this time is the top ten, or the top three: Nan Wu, Chi Xiao, and Ben Hu.

After the elder of the outer palace read the name, he announced that the second stage of the hundred-year competition of the outer palace officially began.

The world of swordsmen can be very complicated, or it can be very simple, like this big competition, very grand, but it will definitely not be complicated, say a lot of opening remarks, because that's nonsense, no one likes it, the point is that the battle between the participating disciples is the most exciting and attractive.

At the beginning of the second stage, the outer palace elders left, and the two inner palace elders flew to the sword fighting platform, they were considered referees, and they were also responsible for safety issues, so as to prevent the disciples from suddenly uncontrollable strength during the battle, and they might kill the other party.

The Inner Palace Elders are all powerful Sword King-level powerhouses who possess enough strength to stop unnecessary deaths.

As the first place in the first stage, Nan Wu had the right of first refusal, and he could choose one of the other 999 participating disciples as his opponent.

As the first disciple of the outer palace worthy of the name, Nan Wushuang's eyes were indifferent, and he swept the disciples who were seen by him. His face changed, his whole body was tense, and no one wanted to be chosen by him, because he knew that he was not Nan Wu's opponent.

"A thousand. Nan Wu said casually, and the disciple of the thousandth outer palace suddenly changed his face, his face was depressed, and he shrugged his face and looked listless. It's like a frosted eggplant.

"I throw in the towel. The No. 1,000 disciple raised his hand and said, it is okay to admit defeat, in the face of Nan Wu's challenge, he chose to admit defeat, there is no shame at all, knowing that Lu Dao is not an opponent at all, and he can't even resist the opponent's sword, and he insists on fighting a fight, which is not only a waste of other people's time. It's also looking for frustrations on your own.

Nan Wu didn't need to shoot to win, and it was the turn of Chi Xiao in second place.

"Nine hundredth. Chi Xiao didn't look at everyone, and said very directly, immediately making the nine hundred participating disciples collapse. also raised his hand and said with a smile: "I admit defeat." ”

Ben Hu, who was in third place, also casually shouted out a number, and the other party directly admitted defeat.

The fifth place was Duan Yulong, and Chu Duan recognized him. It was the person who was defeated by himself in swordsmanship before, but he didn't expect him to be the fifth. Something was a bit unexpected by Chu Duan.

Duan Yulong also recognized Chu Duan, smiled at Chu Duan, and said with a sword qi, "Our battle, stay behind, I hope you can persevere." ”

"As you wish. Chu Duan responded.

One by one, it was Nie Yunjie's turn, Nie Yunjie was the one who broke out his strength and defeated Chu Duan with one sword, he also saw Chu Duan, but a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes, he looked at the others and chose others.

Soon, the top ten disciples all shouted their numbers, and they all admitted defeat one by one, in fact, this is not a bully of the weak, for them, the most important thing is to eliminate a group of weak ones as soon as possible, leaving only strong opponents, and fighting well.

The top ten are all ten of the absolute strongest disciples in the outer palace, although the strength between them cannot be evaluated at the moment, but they are stronger than the other disciples, there is no doubt about it.

The vast majority of the top 100 disciples are obtained by strength, and a few have better luck, of course, maybe there are hidden masters outside the hundred.

"You only have one chance to draw your sword. The seventieth participating disciple said coldly to his chosen opponent, his opponent, who was ranked the ninth hundred and fifty.

"Slash!" The other party drank, took out his sword, and jumped forward, as if the sword was about to split the world in front of him and slash at the other party.

"Give me defeat. The seventieth participating disciple shouted in a low voice, seeing the opportunity, a sword popped out, and the sword light flashed an arc of light in the air, and there was no sound of gold and iron, and the opponent's sword was split and lost.

It is the turn of the seventy-first to choose the opponent to fight.

From these, you can see the importance of the right of first choice, especially for those swordsmen with weaker strength, with the right of first choice, you can choose a weaker opponent, win, and move on.

However, it is difficult for a weak swordsman to obtain a better ranking in the first stage, and strength is always necessary.

"I choose the eighteenth. The hundredth participating disciples pointed directly at each other and said.

"You've chosen the wrong person. The eight hundred and eighty-eighth participating disciples got up, said only one word, and walked to the middle of the sword fighting platform.

"I hope you can still be so confident after being defeated by me. The hundredth contestant smiled coldly and said.

Both sides drew their swords.

In an instant, rushing towards the other party, the sword light was either straight or curved like a waning moon, and it staggered in an instant.

The two figures were facing each other two meters apart, standing with their swords, and suddenly, the hundredth contestant's cheeks twitched, revealing a painful look, and the sword fell to the ground with his hands bent, and his five fingers were bent, looking very painful.

The hundredth contestant was defeated by the eighteenth and eighty-eighth contestant with a single sword, and the huge gap was unexpected and surprising.

And the seats of the two sides have also changed, and they have been exchanged with each other.

In an instant, the two sides staggered, and Chu Duan and some others saw it very clearly, the swords of the eight hundred and eighty-eighth participating disciples were directly slashed on the back of the one hundred contestants' sword-holding hands, showing superb swordsmanship attainments and rich combat experience.

is not a dark horse, but it is the first example that surprised everyone, so his name is also known to everyone: Tu Jinghong.

The game was not paused because of this, and the challenge continued.

Tu Jinghong's example made the participating disciples who chose their opponents more vigilant, their rankings were outside the hundred, and there were many people with lower rankings than them, and there were many stronger beings than them, so they had to be cautious.

But choosing those who are ranked lower is still safer, and Tu Jinghong is only a very small number of examples.

Soon, it was Chu Duan's turn, at this time, the eighteenth to the thousandth had already been selected, and he could only choose the others.

"Six hundredth. Chu Duan didn't think much about it, and said directly.

Because he doesn't know any of these people, it is unknown whether the strength of the other party is high or low, even if you observe carefully, in such a situation, you can't see anything, it is better to judge by intuition.

"Your place will be mine. The six hundredth participating disciples, who seemed to be very confident in their own strength, strode over, drew their swords, pointed directly at Chu Duan, and said very directly.

"Please. Chu Duan just said a word lightly.

"Catch the sword. The other party shouted, the sword was like thunder, the lightning burst into the air, the sword light was fierce, there was thunder and roar, as soon as he shot, it was a powerful sword, fast and powerful.

Chu Duan's pupils trembled, and the trajectory of the opponent's sword was clearly presented in his eyes, reflecting a thunderous light, Chu Duan stepped forward step by step, his body naturally slid forward, and the standard Heavenly Desolate Sword came out of the sheath, crossed a perfect arc, cut into the opponent's sword light, and slashed at the opponent's abdomen.

With a bang, the six hundredth participating disciples suddenly bent over and arched their bodies, their mouths opened, saliva spurted out, their eyes bulged, and their swords fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"This son's swordsmanship ......"

"Sharp and concise, tempered. ”

"Such swordsmanship, it's not trivial, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity," the voice was full ......of regret.

"The swordsmanship is good, but unfortunately, it can only be like this. ”

Putting the sword into the sheath, Chu Duan turned around and walked to the seat, the first round of the big competition, he won, will enter the second round.

"Your swordsmanship is still so sharp. Duan Yulong's sword qi was transmitted, and there was a hint of battle intent in his tone: "I hope you can continue to win until you fight with me." ”

"If you don't challenge me now, you may regret it later. Chu Duan responded jokingly.

Duan Yulong smiled and did not answer.

What Chu Duan said is also true, now, the sword intent has not been unsealed, although the strength is not weak among the thousand participating disciples, but it cannot be compared with the top ten, not to mention the top ten, the top thirty can defeat the current Chu Duan.

But if the sword intent is unsealed, Chu Duan's strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and it will be even stronger, what will happen at that time, even Chu Duan himself can't be sure, but he only vaguely knows that he is enough, perhaps, it is enough to compete with the top ten.

The competition continued, and soon, it was the turn of the five hundredth participating disciples to make a choice, and his opponent was only one, the five hundred and one, the rankings of the two were close, and the Red Desolate Star they possessed was only one difference.

The strength of these two men was not bad, but they were not particularly strong, and the difference was not great, so the battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, in full swing, and it was very fierce.

In the end, the 500th participating disciple took the lead in chess, defeated his opponent, and kept his position.

It's not over yet, next, it's the turn of the five hundred and one participating disciples to make a choice, and the problem arises, he can only choose the participating disciples who have not been challenged, that is to say, he can only choose the first five hundred participating disciples except for Tu Jinghong.

This is the rule of Dabi, taking the initiative to challenge and being challenged, are two concepts, in each round, any participating disciple has the right to take the initiative to challenge and be challenged once.

After thinking about it for a while, the five hundred and one participating disciples chose his old opponent: the fifth hundredth. (To be continued......)
