The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 216 Becoming a Target
If the fights among the last 100 on the Tiger List are the warm-up, and the fights among the middle 100 are gradually getting better, then the fights among the top 100 are a grand event.

The competition for the top 100 will only last for three days, and after three days, only 60 people will be able to enter the knockout round.

This undoubtedly made the bottom forty people crazy.

On the day the competition began, the Jiubei Spiritual Platform was already crowded with people. All the disciples on the Tiger List, whether they were new to the list or had already competed, had arrived on time.

All eyes were focused on these disciples, their gazes blazing with curiosity and eagerness.

Yin Mingchen's figure emerged, his eyes swept across the scene, and he smiled faintly. He was very happy with this scene. The prosperity of the sect's disciples was the most comforting thing.

"The duel begins, challenge each one one by one."

Yin Mingchen looked towards the opposite platform and said, "After the hundredth place and before the two hundredth place, are there any disciples who would like to challenge me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several disciples came out, among them was a woman Su Yan knew - Qing Zixuan.

Those who dared to challenge were the one hundred and twenty disciples, no more, no less, just to fight for a place on the top list.

"Go up on stage and challenge the Tiger Ranking disciple you want to challenge."

Everyone responded with a yes and jumped onto the stage.

There are nine platforms in total, and the first person to go on stage was Qing Zixuan.

"At the Divine Integration stage, everyone's cultivation level is pretty much the same; it's all about the skills."

Su Yan was a bystander. Although he was not a warrior in the Danqiao realm, with the blessing of the insect consciousness seed, his mental power far exceeded that of a warrior in the Zhenyi realm.

Therefore, he is also extremely perceptive in perceiving the strength of others.

In terms of cultivation alone, it is difficult to find a huge gap between disciples with similar rankings.

However, at the same level, the fighting methods may be completely different.

"The realm cultivates the nature and life, the skills determine the superiority..."

Su Yan thought of this analogy. There are differences in realms. The fundamental power of life and death is naturally stronger at higher realms. However, if they are at the same realm, bones, true essence, martial arts, spells, spiritual weapons... and many other means are the basis of fighting.

Why do you think those Danqiao Zhenren who have reached a certain level of cultivation spend their time to forge their own spiritual weapons and purchase powerful spirit-sealing talismans?

Is it because they have a long life span and more money in their pockets?

That's because their neighbors have guns.

While he was thinking, the fight on the stage gradually became more intense, and the winner was decided in a short time.

Qing Zixuan relied on the two-headed green-eyed snake that had already reached the late second stage and her own cultivation level in the Divine Integration Stage to bestow the true meaning of the Black Dragon on it and defeated Hou Fangzhi, who was ranked 93rd on the Tiger List.

Among the few people who went on stage to challenge with her, only Zhao Dongxu, who was originally ranked 103rd on the Tiger List, succeeded in the challenge and became the 90th on the Tiger List.

The remaining people either challenged someone with a higher ranking and unfortunately lost, or they were not strong enough.

The disciples who were watching the show were particularly excited, especially when it came to Qing Zixuan. Almost most of them gathered around the arena.

The second group of disciples came on stage, and the disciples who had just been challenged by the previous group were not among those to be challenged.

Only about one or two out of ten people succeed in a fight.

Such changes make people feel the value of the disciples on the Tiger List.

The ranking is there, but you can't get there easily.

"Junior Brother Su, it's our turn next."

Gu Songde came over, his eyes lit up slightly, and he muttered softly.

Su Yan smiled slightly: "It depends on who wants to take action."

Yin Mingchen watched the arena clear and scanned the top 100 disciples on the Tiger Ranking.

He raised his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Are there any of the top 100 on the Tiger List who you want to challenge?"

"Disciple challenges fifty-seven Junior Brothers Su."

As soon as the voice fell, several voices rang out in an instant.

In addition to Su Yan, Zhao Jinhu, who was ranked 58th, and Liang Le, who was ranked 59th, were also named after him.

Gu Songde narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly a clear voice came: "You don't know whether to live or die, you want to test the bottom now."

Su Yan looked over and saw that it was Xia Wan'er who spoke.

For a moment, the expressions of the disciples among the top 100 on the Tiger List were different.

"Xia Wan'er, even though you rank higher, why do you look down on us like this?"

The one who spoke was one of the challengers, Li Junlong, number eighty-seven, who was born in Baimang Peak and whose strength was also in the Divine Combination Stage.

Xia Wan'er just glanced at him and said, "Why don't you challenge me?"

Su Yan had challenged Qi Yufei in public. Not only did he have the upper hand in terms of momentum, but his strength alone was so unknown that he was unlikely to be the first choice for challenge.

Everyone wants to squeeze into the top 60 to participate in the knockout stage, not to be beaten.

This Li Junlong has some other meanings.

"Humph"

Li Junlong just snorted coldly, and everyone looked at Su Yan.

Yin Mingchen said calmly from the high platform, "Disciple who is being challenged, choose an opponent for yourself."

"Then he's fine."

Su Yan didn't care at all. This attitude made Li Junlong's face darken.

Qi Yufei's eyes flickered, and among the hundred disciples, the top ten disciples including Yuan Yi, Suo Yunyi, Qiao Panyan, etc., also showed subtle expressions.

Everyone wanted to know what abilities this famous junior brother had.

Su Yan moved and instantly arrived on the stage.

Li Junlong's pupils shrank slightly, and he also flew over, like a giant snake pounced into the sky, very ferocious.

"How many rounds do you think it will take for Su Yan to defeat him?"

Wang Kun from Baihu Peak followed Su Yan's gaze onto the arena. He had star-shaped eyebrows and sword-like eyes, but his eyes had a wildness to them. He wore a scaly martial arts uniform, and his bulging muscles supported the entire suit.

Among the disciples on the Tiger List, Wang Kun ranks seventh and is also an extremely outstanding talent.

"Round? Let's see if Li Junlong can force out his true intentions."

Yuan Yi shook his head. Rounds might not be of much significance. If one hides his tactics and does not show them, even if the battle lasts for a hundred rounds, it will still be impossible to tell the strength of the opponent.

Suo Yunyi said: "At least he can use the six-winged blood centipede."

Everyone knew about the Six-Winged Blood Centipede's swagger, and it was obviously one of Su Yan's reliances.

Xia Wan'er stared at Su Yan and said, "I bet you can only reveal one true meaning."

Everyone looked at her sideways. Qi Yufei sneered and said, "Xia Wan'er, you're crazy, you woman. He's practicing the Starry Beast Technique, which only has one true meaning. What kind of ability does it have?"

The more profound beast true meanings one has in the Star Constellation Mysterious Beast Technique, the more powerful the star formation will be.

Everyone knows this, but it also means that without delving into it, one's understanding of a single true meaning may not be as strong as others.

As they were talking, the opponents on the various stages had already taken their positions.

Li Junlong held a spiritual python steel whip forged from the essence of third-grade black steel, his eyes fixed on Su Yan, his momentum rising steadily, and he came towards him intimidatingly.

"Su Yan, everyone says you are the most talented disciple in the past hundred years. I think you should be more restrained."

Li Junlong narrowed his eyes and said something harsh.

Martial arts seek immortality, but not everyone does it just for immortality.

Fame, wealth, power, resources...

Su Yan had gained such a great reputation that he naturally became an eyesore in the eyes of others. Su Yan simply raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Summon your contracted beast and all your true intentions, otherwise you will have no chance."

The sound was clearly transmitted from the stage to the audience below, causing an uproar.

Qi Yufei: What a big tone

Su Yan's behavior made many people look at him with disdain. No matter how strong he was, he was too arrogant.

Li Junlong on the opposite side seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and his anger surged.

"Okay! I'll show you what I can do."

A huge black shadow emerged behind Li Junlong. It was actually a white python with a slightly protruding snake head and angular edges.

The white python was ten feet long, and as soon as it descended, it blocked the light and shadow of the arena.

The beast bag on his waist trembled slightly, and a python covered with steel-like scales rushed out - a second-stage late-stage black-armored python.

"Twin snakes strangling!"

The black-armored python was in front, and Li Junlong and the white python merged into one. The true meaning possessed the body and came like a giant python, attacking Su Yan's left side.

He came with great force and attacked without any hesitation. Everyone who saw this couldn't help but worry for Su Yan.

Who among those who dare to stand up and challenge Su Yan doesn’t have something in his hand?
The attack was already approaching Su Yan, less than one meter away.

However, Su Yan still looked as if he was standing still even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"Not bad!"

Li Junlong suddenly heard Su Yan utter two words, his eyes fixed on him, and suddenly saw Su Yan taking a step towards him.

A stream of light appeared on his arm, and golden lines could be seen faintly, and suddenly lapis lazuli scales appeared.

Horizontal training!

He was startled, a sneer flashing in his eyes. How could a flesh body dare to compete with a black-armored python?!
Driven by the beast-subduing marks on the body of the Black Armored Python, the Black Armored Python's demonic energy covered its entire head in an instant and it headed straight for Su Yan.

In a flash, there was a deafening bang.

The huge black-armored python's scales flew everywhere, and its fangs shot out like bullets.

Everyone was stunned. Su Yan punched the black-armored python's head, which was as strong as steel.

The huge body was knocked back, and the entire snake body and upper body flew off the ground.

Su Yan raised his hands and grabbed them one by one, and the big handprint directly pinched the python's head: "Get down."

He lifted the huge python above his head and then dropped it heavily to the ground. With a loud bang, the entire python's body was embedded three-quarters into the ground. The rubble of the arena flew out and hit quite a few disciples who were watching the fight.

Li Junlong was shocked and gritted his teeth to control his true meaning and attack Su Yan fiercely.

The steel whip in his hand intersected with the snake head and hit Su Yan.

There was a deafening roar, and smoke and dust rose up instantly.

Everyone stared intently at the figure in the smoke.

Su Yan raised his hand and grabbed the steel whip, stopping it steadily in mid-air.

Li Junlong's veins bulged and all the true energy in his body was circulating, but he still couldn't move the steel whip even a little bit.

"Your power is too weak."

Su Yan said this lightly and punched with his right hand.

This punch was only physical strength, but the terrifying aura made Li Junlong feel uneasy.

He wanted to pull away, but the steel whip was held in Su Yan's left hand and he couldn't move it at all.

bang
The punch broke the true meaning first, and Li Junlong couldn't resist and spit out blood.

Then the punch hit Li Junlong's body with unstoppable force, and he immediately flew backwards for about seventeen or eighteen meters. He fell to the ground and fainted.

So strong!

Everyone was stunned, and by the time they realized what was happening, Li Junlong had already been defeated.

"Su Yansheng."

Yin Mingchen's voice came, completely securing the victory.

However, the most shocking ones were the top 100 disciples on the Tiger List.

"monster"

Suo Yunyi muttered in a low voice, his eyes a little confused. He knew that Su Yan would win, and everyone knew that Su Yan would win.

But who told them that Su Yan not only did not use his true intention, he did not even use much of his true energy. He just relied on his physical strength to defeat a disciple in the Divine Integration Stage and a wild beast in the late second stage.

Qi Yufei's expression changed and became gloomy. He was no longer sure about Su Yan's strength.

With his incredibly strong body and powerful spirit, this guy is a formidable opponent.

He subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand, believing that only with this sword could he defeat him.

Xia Wan'er withdrew her shocked gaze and chuckled, "Brother Yuan, he's probably coming for you. His physical body can rival a warrior in the Divine Fusion Stage. If he uses his true intention and the wild beast..."

When everyone heard this, especially those who were ranked lower, such as Qiao Panyan and Wang Kun, their eyes lit up.

The stronger they are, the less likely they are to challenge those behind them.

The first on the Tiger Ranking is Yuan Yi from Broken Moon Peak, the second is Lan Yunyue from White Python Peak, the third is Suo Yunyi from Canglong Peak, and the fourth is Zhao Mingcheng from Guizang Valley...

With Su Yan's momentum, it's impossible that he is targeting those ranked seventh or ninth.

Yuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "The elimination round for the top 60 is not based on rankings, so it's still uncertain who will meet."

艹

Everyone's faces changed, and their expressions suddenly became subtle, realizing that something was wrong.

In the knockout round, if I were to be eliminated directly, I wouldn’t even be able to make it into the top 30.

The Blood Dragon Secret Realm is of great importance. If we can't go there...

The duel system has its pros and cons, and sometimes a bit of luck is needed...

After Su Yan came back, the way people looked at him had changed. Although the ranking had not yet come out, he was already firmly in the first tier.

Xia Wan'er also came over and asked, "Aren't you practicing the techniques of Senior Wang Xuanxing? How come your body is so powerful?"

Su Yan glanced at her and asked, "Is it possible that our sect's horizontal training is more famous?"

Everyone was chatting idly, the fight was still going on, but Su Yan and others were no longer the target.

No one would be so stubborn, and those who wanted to test him knew that unless the first few who had reached the perfect stage of Divine Combination took action, no one would be able to figure out his true strength.

In interpersonal relationships, the degree of intimacy in conversation is different.

After the first day of competition, no one dared to challenge Su Yan anymore.

His reputation became more and more famous among the sect's disciples.

While everyone was still wanting to see Su Yan's strength, Xia Wan'er suddenly found him on Xuanshuang Mountain.

"Sister Xia, if you're not preparing for the competition, why are you looking for me?"

Su Yan looked at the person who came in surprise. Xia Wan'er was wearing a tight long gown embroidered with purple cloud patterns, a jade belt around her waist, and two flying knives were attached to the outside of her slender legs.

"Don't call me Senior Sister, or I might have to call you Senior Brother soon."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes swept across the environment of Xuanshuang Mountain. She vaguely felt a hint of anger, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"I'm here to ask you for a seed pill."
