There were forty players left in the third round, divided into pairs, for a total of twenty groups.

Gu Liyue looked at her name tag: nine. Then she looked at the other three: Wen Qinnuan was five, Xiao Ju was twelve, and Xiahou Jingrong was seventeen.

The four of them split into two groups. Xiahou Jingrong went to watch Gu Liyue's competition, while Xiao Ju went to watch Wen Qinnuan's competition. They also kept an eye on the competition in their own arena.

There were fewer people in the square at this time. Of course, there were also some losers who stayed in the square to watch others compete.

Gu Liyue and Xiahou Jingrong walked to the bottom of the ninth stage and went up to the stage.

Her opponent in this round was a burly male cultivator. His weapon was a long sword, which looked ordinary. After the two men exchanged greetings, they started fighting.

Gu Liyue held [Wuhua] in her hand, ready for battle. She saw the opponent taking action. She looked at the prelude of the competition with the tall monk opposite her and felt that it was a bit long.

I don’t know how this monk won and reached the fourth round. Are all the new students in this class so graceful?

She wanted to ask if his previous opponents had waited for him to finish his stance like she had.

Gu Liyue decided not to wait any longer, so she stepped forward with her sword in hand and thrust forward. The opponent was in a panic to respond, and gave her a resentful look, as if blaming her for the "sneak attack."

Gu Liyue received his gaze: "..."

She wanted to say, in a fight, isn't it better to just go up and beat the person? Losing the initiative is not good!

Seeing him block his sword, Gu Liyue stepped forward again and used the killing move in the Qingxuan Sword Technique to clear the source.

The sword energy, wrapped in spiritual power, surged towards the opposite side. The male cultivator had just stood firm and had to raise his sword and mobilize spiritual power to block the attack. This move was relatively stable.

Xiaoxuan's youthful voice said, "Foundation Building Great Perfection."

After hearing this, Gu Liyue thought to herself that the other party was able to reach the third round because of his strength, which was three small realms lower than her.

Gu Liyue flew over and attacked again while he was still unable to adjust his attack after receiving the attack. This time she did not hold back.

The male cultivator saw that Gu Liyue was extremely fast and had sharp moves. Instead of retreating, he advanced, mobilized his spiritual power, and swung his sword, almost hitting Gu Liyue's shoulder, but only cutting off a few strands of her hair.

The people in the audience saw that Gu Liyue was at a disadvantage.

"Look, even if he comprehends the sword intent, so what? Gu Liyue is probably going to lose."

"I heard that this stern Chen Ruichang has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, so it's reasonable for Gu Liyue to lose."

"A true swordsman can fight against opponents of higher levels, and winning is justified."

"That's right, everyone, look, Gu Liyue has changed her tactics."

Gu Liyue dodged the previous sword move by leaning sideways and found that the opponent was using a move from the Qingxuan Sword Technique, so she switched to using a move from the Supreme Sword Technique.

In the main hall of Tongtian Peak, Feng Qingyi looked at the water mirror. Gu Liyue used a sword move he had never seen before.

This sword move is mysterious and direct. You should know that the more skilled the swordsman is, the less fancy his moves are. Sometimes just one move can kill the opponent.

On the ring, feeling the opponent's powerful spiritual power, Gu Liyue had to deal with it carefully. Fortunately, the male cultivator's body movements were not very flexible.

She kept moving, trying to strike her sword at angles that the opponent couldn't take into account, disrupting the opponent's rhythm. In the end, even her sword moves were incomplete, and she was knocked off the stage by Gu Liyue's sword.

"Look, Gu Liyue actually won, even though Chen Ruichang didn't seem very good at swordsmanship just now."

"Yes, I think Gu Liyue was able to defeat the opponent by overcoming three minor realms, which proves that she is still very powerful."

"I heard that the Great Elder is very optimistic about her and thinks she is a good candidate for sword cultivation."

"I heard that Gu Liyue refined a fifth-level pill during the alchemy test yesterday!"

"I wonder whose direct disciple she will become?"

"She has cultivated to the fifth level and still comes to Lingxiao Peak to compete with us for a spot. I really don't know what she is thinking." Someone said indignantly.

"Not only that, she even drew a fourth-level talisman at Sixiang Peak yesterday!"

"Who is this Gu Liyue? Why does she seem so evil?"

"She actually took three exams and performed so well in all of them. It's simply incredible."

Gu Liyue arrived at the stage and found Xiahou Jingrong already on stage number seven. She walked to the side of stage number seven and reviewed the previous competition in her mind, feeling that she still had some shortcomings.

The most important thing is not to wait for the opponent to gain momentum from the beginning. You should take advantage of all favorable conditions to defeat your opponent.

Xiahou Jingrong's battle was very easy. Gu Liyue had just stood still for a moment when he won and walked off the stage with his sword.

Gu Liyue turned around and saw Wen Qinnuan and Xiao Ju walking towards her.

Wen Qinnuan asked, "We all won, right?"

Gu Liyue and Xiahou Jingrong nodded.

"what about you?"

"Of course we won. I just didn't feel satisfied with the beating. In fact, I didn't feel satisfied with my stick either. It hadn't been used for too long, and it was always itching to use it." Xiao Ju said helplessly.

None of the three wanted to talk to him.

Gu Liyue thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if there are usually people competing in the Lingxiao Peak arena. If there are, you can come and fight!"

Xiao Ju said: "That's right, when I become Lingxiao Peak's direct disciple, I will come to defend the ring."

Xiahou Jingrong smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you become successful."

Wen Qinnuan also said, "That's right."

Nie Hengzhou let the twenty victorious students rest for a quarter of an hour before entering the fourth round of competition.

Soon the fourth round began.

This time, twenty people entered ten arenas at the same time.

Gu Liyue's opponent was a tall, well-dressed female cultivator. She was truly tall and slender. In her hand was her weapon, a red silk ribbon.

Gu Liyue saw that her cultivation level was at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, which was comparable to his own.

The two men exchanged greetings, and the competition began.

The female cultivator swung the red silk, and the red silk seemed to be obedient in her hands. It attacked Gu Liyue's face directly, and there was even a sound of breaking air in the air. Gu Liyue used [Wuhua] to cut it, and the red silk retreated flexibly again.

The female cultivator felt the sharpness of Gu Liyue's swordsmanship. Her red silk attack could only catch the opponent by surprise, but her defense was still good.

The red silk was flying all over the sky around the female cultivator, like a protective shield protecting its owner. Gu Liyue squinted at the red silk and found a loophole in its protection. Spotting the spot, Gu Liyue stabbed it with a sword and stirred it vigorously. The spiritual power hit the red silk along with the sword energy, making a "clang clang clang" sound. It seemed that this red silk was not as simple as it seemed.

The rhythm was disrupted, and the red silk of the female cultivator scattered. Gu Liyue took the opportunity to step forward and swung a sword. The sword energy carried a majestic spiritual power and went horizontally towards the waist and abdomen of the female cultivator. Seeing this, the female cultivator swung the red silk.

Clang——

The red silk collided with the sword energy, making a loud noise.

The sword energy was dispersed, but the female cultivator's face turned pale. Gu Liyue seized the opportunity and used a series of sword moves. The female cultivator saw that Gu Liyue ignored defense and only attacked, so she swung the red silk towards Gu Liyue's left shoulder.

Gu Liyue only felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, thinking that she had seen blood.
