Chapter 58: You're Going Up Together
The second round of the competition can be said to be the most intense part of the whole event, and the crowd on the periphery was also mobilized to shout and cheer for these young people, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Jiang Hao easily took down Jiang Niu and then swept across the martial arts arena, directly arriving at the location where Jiang Tian and Jiang Lie were.
"Haha, Third Brother, I really couldn't see that coming. That Jiang Niu may only be a six-star warrior, but his endurance and ability to withstand attacks are renowned throughout the Jiang family. I didn't expect him to be defeated by you with just one move." Jiang Tian patted Jiang Huan's head, smiling.
"Yes, Third Brother, I didn't expect you to be the most terrifying one among the young generation of the Jiang family. Tsk tsk, a nine-year-old War Master." said Jiang Lie.
"Big brother, second brother, this time it's settled, can I go with you to the military camp?" Jiang Hao asked, looking up.
Jiang Hao asked, and Jiang Tian and Jiang Lie exchanged a smile.
"Third brother, I was originally going to wait until after the family competition to say this, but Father said it's up to your performance in the competition." Jiang Tian said with a slight smile.
"En!" Jiang Hao lightly responded with a sound, casting his gaze once again onto the martial arena, the second match had already ended, and at this moment, the third match's battle had just begun.
Three to eight!
Number Three is Jiang Cunshan, a warrior of the Eight Stars. His strength is quite impressive, while Number Eight is the young man previously referred to as "older cousin" by Jiang Kui - Jiang Wei.
Mentioning Jiang Wei, Jiang Hao didn't know this person, but among the younger generation of the Jiang family, no one was unaware of him. It's just that two years ago, he was still an unknown outsider, but suddenly his cultivation skyrocketed, and in just two short years, he broke through from a four-star warrior to a nine-star one. Although this breakthrough speed made people somewhat incredulous, reality is indeed like this!
As long as you have the ability, you will get what you want, so Jiang Wei was directly accepted as a disciple by the Great Elder and carefully trained. Even Jiang Hailin was his subordinate.
At this time, Jiang Cunshan was also extremely depressed in his heart. With his own strength as an eight-star warrior, he might not necessarily lose to an ordinary nine-star warrior. However, Jiang Wei was obviously not in this category. As a disciple of the Great Elder, the combat skills he had learned were certainly not something that Jiang Cunshan could match. It seemed that there was no choice but to fight it out.
On the other hand, Jiang Wei held a white feather fan in his hand and smiled at Jiang Yishan with a calm expression, showing no intention of making the first move, looking carefree and composed.
"Tiger Overlord Fist!"
First strike as strong, Jiang Cunlin's double fists fiercely grasped forward with a surging momentum, heavily smashing onto the ground, a series of tiger roars echoed from his throat, two battle auras burst out from his fists, condensing into a tiger head in mid-air, the tiger head let out a long roar towards the sky, opening its bloody great mouth to attack Jiang Wei's head directly, the intense battle aura waves distorted the air along the way.
Seeing such a fierce attack, Jiang Wei only slightly retreated one step, and the white feather fan in his hand suddenly flew forward. The white feather fan met the wind and grew to the size of a person in an instant, covering Jiang Wei's entire body within it. Meanwhile, Jiang Wei quietly watched as the tiger head charged towards him with a roar.
"Lower-grade treasure - Phoenix Feather Fan!" Jiang Lie exclaimed, clearly recognizing the object in Jiang Wei's hand.
"Haha, I didn't expect that even the Phoenix Feather Fan was passed down to Jiang Wei by the Great Elder!" Jiang Tian also laughed.
Jiang Hao also saw the treasure for the first time at such a close distance, and the fluorescent light on the feather fan was flowing, with a faint red color visible at the edge, and a thread of gold could be seen in the red. Jiang Wei simply urged him on, and the momentum that came from above had already made people nearby feel oppressed.
The Jiang family still has a considerable number of precious artifacts, but most of them are lower-grade and in the hands of high-ranking members. Few among the younger generation possess any, and even Jiang Tian only received one from Jiang Yuan after advancing to war general, which was merely of a lower grade.
Boom!
At this time, Jiang Cunshan's Tiger Overlord Fist had already smashed heavily onto the feather fan with a meteor-like momentum. Suddenly, a series of thunderous sounds were transmitted, but on the feather fan, only a faint red ripple appeared and then disappeared without any reaction. The seemingly ferocious battle technique was unable to even affect the feather fan, let alone harm Jiang Wei behind it!
"Haha, it's my turn."
Jiang Wei's index fingers and thumbs were stuck together, forming a strange hand seal, his eyes suddenly fixed intently.
"Hong Bo!" A low growl came from Jiang Wei's mouth.
Only to see his lips slightly pursed, his cheeks suddenly bulging, a sound wave spread out like a meteorite, the tiger head was clearly unable to withstand being swept by the sound wave and dissipated into the air with a "poof" sound. The sound wave didn't stop at all, it only took an instant to envelop Jiang Cunshan inside.
"Ah!"
Jiang Cunshan let out a mournful cry, his hands tightly clutching his head, and blood was spurting out of all seven orifices, clearly indicating that his internal organs had suffered severe damage.
"Great Elder, even your signature battle technique has been passed down to this little guy!" Jiang Yuan slightly turned his head and said to a black-robed elder behind him.
"Heh heh, Jiang Wei's talent is absolutely the first among his peers. I naturally want to cultivate him well. What do you think, Master?" The black-robed elder slightly opened his eyes and said in a soft voice.
"Whether or not you are the first person is not up to you, I've already said it counts. Keep watching." A faint chill flashed across Jiang Yuan's eyes.
The fourth match was Jiang Kui against Number Seven, who was a young boy with a weak and small build. In front of Jiang Kui, he suddenly looked insignificant, but being able to hold on until here obviously wouldn't be easy either.
Contrary to Jiang Hao's expectations, although Jiang Kui had a physical advantage, he only barely won against Number Seven after a half-hour of intense battle with one move. Number Seven was like an old mouse, not confronting Jiang Kui head-on at all, but instead using speed to drag down Jiang Kui's movements, and even though he lost in the end, Jiang Kui's fighting spirit had also been consumed to almost nothing.
The last two were both eight-star warriors, and this kind of evenly matched battle was what the people liked to see most. The two sides burst into a fierce fight, with one punch and one slap, fighting until the sky was dark and it was hard to distinguish between them.
Although the scene was extremely gorgeous and the fighting skills were not bad, Jiang Heng completely lost interest and started yawning continuously.
The last game lasted for a whole hour before it ended, and No. 6 was exhausted to the limit of his fighting spirit and directly fainted, while No. 5 was not much better, only not fainting, so Jiang Zhan Yun directly determined that No. 6 lost.
Up to now, the results of the second round have been known. Jiang Hao, Jiang Wei, Jiang Kui and two others have emerged from the tribal comparison and become the top five in the tribal comparison.
Jiang Kui cast a sideways glance at Jiang Hao, his face full of resentment. This person who was once as insignificant as an ant in his eyes was now standing alongside him.
Whoosh!
Jiang Zhanyun's figure appeared on the martial arts arena in an instant, his face still expressionless, his hands pressed down, and the noisy voices suddenly stopped.
"Gentlemen, the second round has already ended. As the top five, you will receive full support from the family's resources and can choose an elder to guide you. You can also freely select any martial skill below the middle rank of the family to practice. The rest of you will be decided on whether to stay or leave after discussion by the elders."
"Below, the five of you will decide who is the final winner, and he will be the most outstanding one among the younger generation of the Jiang family." Having said that, Jiang Zhan swept his gaze across the scene below and continued.
"You all come together, and I'll assess the strengths and weaknesses of the five of you," said Jiang Zhan Yun. "Of course, don't worry, I'll only use thirty percent of my strength."
As soon as Jiang Zhan Yun spoke, the scene below suddenly erupted into a commotion. His own strength had already reached that of an eight-star War Master. Even if he only used thirty percent of it, it was still not something that these few young Consecutive War Masters on stage could withstand.
Jiang Hao was speechless for a moment, this Jiang Zhan Yun was indeed something, actually wanting to take on five at once, it was clear that he wanted to teach the few of them a lesson. However, Jiang Hao had great confidence in himself, although facing him head-on might not be his strong suit, but even with only thirty percent of his strength, Jiang Zhan Yun wouldn't be able to take him down.
"Alright, you can come at me now. If anyone can make me use more than 30% of my strength, I'll consider them the winner." Jiang Zhan Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, completely disregarding the five people in front of him.
"Then let's fight!" Except for Jiang Huan, the four of them suddenly burst out with intense fighting spirit, and for a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was filled with an overwhelming desire to fight.
