Chapter 437: 78-Game Winning Streak Attracts Attention
In the seventh match, the battleground was once again abuzz with excitement.
The challenger who stepped onto the stage was a rogue cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, his spiritual energy surged, and his imposing aura was like a show of force, clearly indicating that he was determined to win this victory.
He stared directly at Chu Lengyu, a confident smile curving his lips.
In his view, she was already at her limit, after all, she had fought six battles in a row, especially the duel with the Blood Saber Monk just now.
The Blood Saber Monk was infamous for his ferocity and extraordinary strength, yet Chu Lengyu was able to defeat him with a single sword strike. This was certainly astonishing, but it must have taken a heavy toll on her. That sword strike might have been one of her trump cards.
The eyes of those around her, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Chu Lengyu.
She knew that after defeating the Blood Saber Monk, she had become the focus of everyone's attention, and her situation was somewhat like a tree standing out from the forest.
Moreover, among these numerous arenas, she stood out as someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
This also made her a "pushover" in the eyes of others, someone they could use to show off their strength.
After all, if you can defeat her, you will not only win the challenge and receive a reward, but also win several honors. Who would easily let go of such an opportunity?
I imagine many people are now eager to make a name for themselves by stepping on her.
Nevertheless, Chu Lengyu still decided to accept the challenge.
Under the complex and ever-changing gazes of the crowd, she once again leaped onto the ring.
The sunlight shone on her, giving her a soft golden glow.
What she faced was a burly, rock-solid late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He stood there like an unshakeable mountain, exuding a fierce aura.
He looked at Chu Lengyu with a cold smile, as if victory was already in his grasp: "Little girl, I advise you to admit defeat sooner rather than later."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu simply smiled faintly.
She did not respond to the other party's provocation, but simply drew her sword and assumed a defensive stance, waiting for the storm to break.
The battle is about to break out.
The rogue cultivator immediately launched a fierce attack.
He leaped up, his palms slamming down, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound as it cut through the air, its power astonishing.
The palm strikes came in layers, heading straight for Chu Lengyu.
However, Chu Lengyu did not show the slightest panic. She darted through the opponent's attacks like a fish, carefully dodging them.
Occasionally, she would find an opening, swing her longsword, and launch a counterattack.
However, the opponent turned out to be a rare body-refining cultivator with a powerful physique, and ordinary attacks could not break through his defenses.
Seeing this, the audience shook their heads and sighed, believing that Chu Lengyu was probably doomed this time.
Even the disciples of the Hundred Swords Pavilion couldn't help but feel worried for her, and secretly prayed for her.
A tense atmosphere permeated every corner.
In the fierce battle, Chu Lengyu seemed to be running out of energy and revealed a weakness, allowing the rogue cultivator's attacks to almost hit her several times.
Her skirt fluttered, her hair was slightly disheveled, and she looked somewhat embarrassed, as if she was truly powerless to resist.
Seeing this, the rogue cultivator's contempt deepened, and a smug smile curled at the corner of his mouth, believing that his guess was indeed correct and that Chu Lengyu was at his last gasp.
His offensive intensified, determined to seize the championship and establish his fame.
However, his smugness became his biggest weakness.
At this critical moment, Chu Lengyu's swordsmanship suddenly became fierce.
Caught off guard, the rogue cultivator was thrown into disarray by this unexpected turn of events.
He thought victory was assured, but he didn't expect Chu Lengyu to have such a backup plan. She changed her style, and her swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, continuous and uninterrupted. Every sword strike perfectly neutralized his attack and gradually forced him into a desperate situation.
Finally, Chu Lengyu swung her longsword, a flash of cold light, and the sword pierced his shoulder.
The rogue cultivator let out a muffled groan, staggered, and his attack came to an abrupt halt.
He clutched his injured shoulder, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Upon seeing this, the referee immediately declared Chu Lengyu the winner, ending this thrilling competition.
The audience watched this scene in astonishment, hardly believing their eyes.
They thought Chu Lengyu was beyond saving, but they never expected her to turn the tide and win, creating another miracle.
The body-refining rogue cultivator was even more incredulous. He stood there blankly, blaming himself for being so careless, and even more annoyed that he had exhausted Chu Lengyu's strength, only to benefit someone else.
As soon as Chu Lengyu stepped off the stage, she immediately took a pill, sat cross-legged, and began meditating to recover.
When others saw her pale face, they immediately felt that an opportunity had come and rushed to sign up.
The next challenger to appear was another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He silently observed the first two battles and carefully investigated the crowd, feeling that he had roughly figured out Chu Lengyu's background.
He thought to himself that winning this battle against an exhausted early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be a piece of cake for him.
As soon as the eighth battle began, Chu Lengyu's situation immediately became much more dangerous.
The challenger was agile and had sharp eyes, clearly indicating that he had come prepared.
He had already anticipated Chu Lengyu's possible moves and evasion methods, so he was able to deal with them with ease.
As soon as the battle began, he cautiously defended himself to avoid being ambushed by Chu Lengyu, while simultaneously driving several flying swords to attack Chu Lengyu. The six short flying swords nimbly flew through the air, aiming straight for Chu Lengyu's vital points.
However, he deliberately kept his distance from Chu Lengyu, holding her back like a kite, making it difficult for her to get close.
Amid the siege, Chu Lengyu moved nimbly, dodging left and right, but the challenger's attacks followed her relentlessly, making it difficult for her to escape.
Both sides were extremely cautious in this battle, each move potentially fatal, yet each step carefully planned.
What should have been a 15-minute battle dragged on for half an hour.
As time went on, the challenger spent more and more time wielding the twin flying swords, his face gradually turning pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Clearly, manipulating the six flying swords was too strenuous, and the prolonged consumption of his spiritual energy had left him feeling exhausted.
Chu Lengyu seized this opportunity, leaping up and swinging her longsword, sending a sharp sword beam straight towards the challenger.
The challenger was shocked to see this and hurriedly used his flying sword to defend himself, but he was already powerless to do so.
With a "whoosh," his chest and abdomen were slashed open by the sword's edge, and blood gushed out.
He staggered, his face turning even paler, and finally collapsed to his knees, admitting defeat in the contest.
The audience members below the stage were all amazed by what they saw.
They never expected the battle to be so thrilling, nor did they expect that the seemingly invincible challenger would ultimately be defeated due to exhaustion of his spiritual energy.
Some people shook their heads regretfully: "This person was just a hair's breadth away from winning."
Chu Lengyu stood there, her posture still upright, but a trace of fatigue could not be hidden between her brows.
However, this fatigue did not diminish her spirit; on the contrary, it added to her resilience.
After eight victories, Chu Lengyu once again stepped into that magnificent vermilion building.
This time, she selected a bottle of the finest healing medicine.
However, she did not rush to leave, but instead found a quiet place and decided to take medicine and heal her wounds on the spot.
Inside the vermilion tower, the spiritual energy was abundant, far more concentrated than in the outside world. In addition, the place was spacious and quiet, undisturbed by anyone, making it an excellent place for healing.
Chu Lengyu sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and concentrated, took out a pill and swallowed it. She felt a warm spiritual energy rise from her dantian and quickly circulate throughout her body, repairing the wounds from the battle.
Meanwhile, Chu Lengyu's brilliant record of eight consecutive victories finally attracted the attention of some people on Jingu Island.
An eight-win streak alone might not be enough to impress people, but the point is that her cultivation level is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which is undoubtedly particularly dazzling in a competition where the late stage of Foundation Establishment is commonplace.
Even more surprisingly, after some investigation, people discovered that this female cultivator who suddenly appeared was actually from an ordinary second-rate sect—the Hundred Swords Pavilion—and had no other illustrious background.
This discovery undoubtedly makes her achievements even more remarkable and further fuels people's curiosity about her.
"Have you heard? Chu Lengyu from Hundred Swords Pavilion has won again, now he's on an eight-game winning streak! I never expected a disciple from a second-rate sect to perform so well."
"Yes, I underestimated her before, thinking she was just lucky. I didn't expect her to be so capable."
"However, her opponents will get stronger and stronger from here on out, and it's uncertain whether she can continue winning. If she can really go on a winning streak to the end, that would be amazing!"
The emergence of Chu Lengyu, this dark horse, not only attracted everyone's attention, but also changed the atmosphere of the gathering of heroes.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating how far she can go and what kind of impact she will have on this grand event.
The lady in the purple dress was also very surprised when she heard about this.
An appreciative look appeared in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said softly, "This woman is no ordinary person. Given time, she will surely achieve great things."
