Mythical Cultivation

At this moment, the audience was completely boiling with excitement, their excitement barely contained. Some began to speculate, "Is Huang Hao aiming for first place?" Once this thought was raised, it was like a stone dropped into a lake, instantly sending ripples through the air.

However, many people expressed reservations. One voice shouted, "First place? While Huang Hao is certainly strong, getting first place isn't easy! Don't forget about Zhao Wuji, Bai Yixuan, and Shi Xiu! They're all veteran disciples of the sect, with unfathomable strength. They're definitely not ordinary people."

For a moment, everyone was talking about it. Some believed that Huang Hao had unlimited potential and was likely to create a miracle; while others firmly believed that those experienced veteran disciples would firmly hold the first place.

The debate intensified, with no one convincing the other. Regardless, the astonishing strength Huang Hao displayed in defeating Ye Qing had already captured everyone's attention. It was truly exciting to see how far he could go.

However, this situation caused some of the people in the audience who had originally wanted to challenge Huang Hao to give up. They decided to put their plans to challenge Huang Hao on hold and instead set their sights on the other champions, intending to start with the relatively easy targets. As for Huang Hao, he was temporarily put aside for consideration later.

However, there are always exceptions. Among the crowd, there were also disciples who were self-assured and overflowing with confidence. For these people, Huang Hao's previous display of strength hadn't intimidated them; instead, it had aroused their fierce competitive spirit and unwillingness to give up. They wondered suspiciously, "Is Huang Hao truly so powerful that no one can defeat him? I want to personally face him and see who is stronger!"

So, even though most people changed their strategies, there was still a small group of powerful disciples at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining who firmly chose to face the challenge and vowed to compete with Huang Hao.

At this moment, the entire challenge competition was in full swing, the atmosphere incredibly heated. Numerous disciples had already taken the stage, fiercely competing. Some, relying on their impressive skills, successfully defeated their opponents, securing one or two victories; while others, even more outstanding, achieved consecutive victories, racking up five or six in a row, a truly impressive record.

As time passed, the challenge tournament drew to a close, with most of the competition already over. Wu Ming, who had been quietly watching the competition, finally couldn't contain his inner urge. He thought: Although I don't particularly care about the final ranking, it seems unreasonable to sit out the entire process and not participate in any of the competitions. With this thought, Wu Ming resolutely took a step forward and headed towards the loser's bracket.

Soon, Wu Ming arrived at the loser's bracket arena. With a flash of his body, he nimbly leaped onto one of the stages. After stopping, he stared intently at his opponent—an ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining disciple.

Facing an opponent of this caliber, Wu Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. Then, the battle erupted instantly. Wu Ming's body swift as the wind, his sword like thunder, his attack fierce and unstoppable. In just a few dozen breaths, the ninth-level Qi Refining disciple was unable to withstand such ferocious attacks and was defeated. Finally, with a dull thud, the disciple collapsed to the ground in dismay. Wu Ming easily won, and naturally, he ascended to the throne of champion of the arena.

After Wu Ming successfully ascended to the ring's title, he naturally faced challenges from all sides. Initially, there was a steady stream of challengers, but as he defeated three challengers in a row, they realized Wu Ming's unfathomable strength and retreated, no one daring to challenge him again. Seeing this, Wu Ming, content with his leisure time, simply closed his eyes and sat in meditation on the ring.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and this intense challenge was drawing to a close. During this period, Wu Ming had participated in four matches and maintained a perfect record. However, compared to other disciples who had won seven or eight matches, his record was clearly inferior.

Huang Hao, on the other hand, was unstoppable and unstoppable. From the beginning of the competition until now, he had been advancing triumphantly, achieving a staggering twenty-one-game winning streak! His astonishing performance instantly captured the attention of nearly a thousand disciples in the audience, eliciting gasps of amazement.

Who could have imagined that this young disciple, who had only been practicing for ten years, could achieve such a prodigious performance? Even his fellow disciples, who had been practicing for twenty years, felt ashamed and embarrassed. Although there were many disciples at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining present, unfortunately, none of them could break Huang Hao's unstoppable winning streak.

The number of peak-level ninth-level Qi Refining disciples participating in this outer sect competition was substantial, nearly thirty! However, during the intense first few rounds, two or three less fortunate disciples encountered fellow disciples at the same peak of the ninth level, and were tragically eliminated after a fierce battle. Even so, there were still over twenty peak-level ninth-level Qi Refining disciples remaining.

These twenty or so disciples at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining naturally couldn't stand by and watch Huang Hao continue his winning streak. Most of them had fought Huang Hao before. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, they still couldn't defeat this powerful enemy.

The remaining disciples, at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, were completely intimidated by Huang Hao's unstoppable, overwhelming aura, and didn't dare to step forward to compete with him. And so, as round after round of thrilling competitions came to a close, the final result was finally revealed—Huang Hao, with an undisputed and absolute advantage, became the well-deserved first place winner of this Outer Sect Competition!

You know, this ranking was beyond everyone's expectations! But surprisingly, no one dared to question the result. After all, Huang Hao's performance throughout the competition was simply too dazzling, and the strength he displayed was so strong that no one could match it.

Looking at the results of other disciples, Mei Lingshuang finally ranked 82nd after a brave fight; as for Wu Ming, due to his fewer challenges, he only ranked 89th.
