Chapter 2216 I am not as good as him
"How is this possible!" Zhang Jianzhou was both shocked and furious. His pride and joy were so easily defeated in front of his opponent.
He could even sense that the opponent's halberd strike didn't seem to have used their full strength!
But Zhang Jianzhou was, after all, a seasoned veteran, and remained calm despite his surprise.
He knew that in a head-on confrontation, he was probably no match for Chen Fei. But he still had one chance—a chance to break through Chen Fei's Dao Domain!
Zhang Jianzhou's eyes were fixed on Chen Fei's Void Returning Dharma Image, and the Chaotic Dao Domain surrounding the Dharma Image that exuded the aura of a celestial status.
He was searching, searching for any possible flaw or weakness in that seemingly indestructible Dao Domain!
"I refuse to believe that your Dao Domain is truly without any flaws!"
A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Jianzhou's eyes, and he roared again. The Giant Spirit Dharma Avatar suddenly stood up, gripped the somewhat dull, earth-yellow giant hammer with both hands, and once again, smashed it fiercely towards Chen Fei's Returning to Nothingness Dharma Avatar!
Before the giant hammer could even touch Chen Fei's halberd, it disintegrated in mid-air.
Instead of disintegrating, it transformed into thousands upon thousands of giant hammer fragments of varying sizes, each containing terrifying power. Like a rain of flowers, it swept around the frontal edge of the Chaos Halberd, frantically rushing towards Chen Fei's Returning Void Dharma Image and the Chaos Dao Domain that enveloped the Dharma Image from all directions.
Simplify the complex! Break down the details by focusing on the overall picture!
Zhang Jianzhou knew very well that he was no match for Chen Fei in a head-on confrontation, so he chose this almost self-destructive method, sacrificing the integrity of the giant hammer in exchange for the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on Chen Fei's Dao Domain.
He refused to believe that Chen Fei's Dao Domain could remain unscathed under such intense bombardment!
"what?"
"Divine weapon self-destructing? Turning into fragments to attack?"
"Zhang Jianzhou actually has this trick up his sleeve? I've never seen him use it in the previous matches!"
"This is to avoid the sharp edge of Chen Fei's halberd and overwhelm him with sheer numbers, forcefully bombarding his Dao Domain!"
"If hit by a fragment, even just a small piece, Zhang Jianzhou's power would be enough to damage the Dao Domain, and once a crack appears..."
Outside the training ground, many people were stunned by Zhang Jianzhou's sudden change of tactics.
No one expected that this powerful expert from the Giant Spirit Sect, known for his strength, would have such an unexpected killing move hidden!
He had never displayed such methods in previous competitions, which was obviously a move prepared specifically to deal with Chen Fei, or rather, to deal with Chen Fei's Dao Domain.
Countless gazes instantly focused on Chen Fei's Void Dharma Image.
They wanted to know how Chen Fei would deal with this relentless attack.
Could his Dao Domain withstand such a concentrated bombardment?
Cao Feiyu's heart leaped into her throat. She tightly covered her mouth, trying not to gasp out.
However, despite the barrage of hammer shadows that would have thrown any expert of the same level into a frenzy, Chen Fei remained completely calm.
The Myriad Transformations Return to Truth Spiritual Mirror had long been suspended in his sea of consciousness, dividing into countless thoughts, and deducing and analyzing Zhang Jianzhou's Yuan Power fluctuations and even possible hidden methods countless times.
Although Zhang Jianzhou's Giant Hammer Collapse was concealed, Chen Fei, with his almost microscopic perception of the Myriad Transformations Spiritual Light, had already captured the abnormal flow of his internal energy and the momentary decisiveness and madness before he even made his move.
Among those of the same level, it is almost impossible to launch a sneak attack on Chen Fei in battle using any technique.
Just as the barrage of hammer blows was about to strike, Chen Fei gently turned the Chaos Halberd in his hand at an extremely mysterious angle!
This turn seemed to activate the entire training ground!
A vast and powerful suppressive force spread out from the center of the Returning Void Dharma Image. The overwhelming fragments of hammer shadows seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire in the face of this suppressive force.
The speed dropped sharply, the trajectory became chaotic, and some smaller fragments were even crushed and annihilated by this force!
Immediately afterwards, the Chaos Halberd in the hands of the Guixu Dharma Image ignored the suppressed and sluggish fragments, tore through the void, and pierced straight towards Zhang Jianzhou's Giant Spirit Dharma Image body with an unstoppable force.
Chen Fei's target was never the fragments themselves, but Zhang Jianzhou himself, who released them.
Zhang Jianzhou's pupils shrank sharply. He never expected Chen Fei to react so quickly. Moreover, the sudden suppressive force made his movements sluggish, and it was too late to dodge!
Zhang Jianzhou let out a roar of unwilling anger, and with all his might, he poured his Yuan power into his arms, trying to grab the Chaos Halberd that was thrusting towards him with both hands!
"boom!!!"
The Chaos Halberd clashed violently with the arms of Zhang Jianzhou's Giant Spirit Dharma Form!
There was no stalemate, no struggle. The moment they made contact, Zhang Jianzhou's seemingly indestructible arms, like rotten wood, were instantly shredded and annihilated by the power of the void and time and space contained in the Chaos Halberd, turning into countless yellowish-brown light spots that scattered in all directions!
The Chaos Halberd, its momentum undiminished, pierced Zhang Jianzhou's giant spirit avatar's chest after shredding his arms.
Boom!!!
With a terrifying roar like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, a huge hole was pierced in the chest of Zhang Jianzhou's enormous giant spirit avatar by the Chaos Halberd.
Immediately afterwards, centered on that hole, countless cracks spread like a spider web across the entire body of the Dharma Image, and then the entire Giant Spirit Dharma Image collapsed with a bang.
Zhang Jianzhou's main body, amidst the impact of the shattering of his Dharma form, coughed up blood and was violently thrown backward, crashing heavily into the protective light shield at the edge of the martial arts arena. The light shield was deeply dented inward before slowly sliding down and collapsing to the ground.
Inside the training ground, the violent energy ripples slowly dissipated. Chen Fei's Void Returning Dharma Form still stood majestically, its light somewhat dimmed compared to before, but its domineering aura was even more captivating.
Guixu Dharma Image lowered its head slightly, its eyes, like the depths of chaos, looking down at Zhang Jianzhou, who was slumped at the edge of the barrier.
Chen Fei didn't speak, but slowly raised the Chaos Halberd in his hand, the tip of the halberd pointing at Zhang Jianzhou's brow.
Zhang Jianzhou struggled to raise his head, looking at the halberd tip so close to him, and then felt the terrible state of his body. He knew that he had completely lost the ability to fight again.
Continuing to resist is pointless.
He didn't want to end up like Yu Jinsheng, beaten up in front of the whole world.
"I admit defeat!" Zhang Jianzhou squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth.
The voice was filled with resentment and helplessness, but even more so with a resolute determination after recognizing reality.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei slowly lowered the Chaos Halberd in his hand, and the Returning Void Dharma Image quickly dissipated, turning into specks of chaotic light that merged into his body.
He glanced at Zhang Jianzhou, who was lying on the ground, said nothing, turned around, and walked out of the training ground step by step.
"The winner of the T-shaped arena is Chen Fei of the Danchen Sect!"
The pronouncement of the verdict was like a spark thrown into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting the entire training ground.
"We won! Chen Fei won again!"
"Third win of the day! He's made it into the top 20!"
"Incredible! Zhang Jianzhou's Giant Hammer Collapse move was so dangerous, yet he easily broke through it!"
"One halberd can shatter ten thousand spells! Chen Fei's combat prowess is simply unfathomable!"
"Top 20! With the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, he has made it into the top 20 of the Myriad Sects Grand Competition!"
Cheers, screams, and shouts swept across the land like a tsunami.
Today, Chen Fei fought three matches in a row, defeating three half-step Heavenly Monarchs, including a top ten powerhouse like Yu Jinsheng, and forcefully entered the top twenty.
This record is enough to shock and impress anyone!
On the Dan Chen Sect's side, a frenzy of celebration ensued. Feng Butong gazed at the figure in the center of the arena, his eyes filled with complex emotions and感慨.
Cao Feiyu had already rushed into the training ground without regard for anything else and hugged Chen Fei tightly.
As the last rays of the setting sun bathed the ancient capital in a golden glow, the third day of the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects finally came to a close.
The list of the top 20 emerged like stars on the golden light screen above the capital. Each name represented a true powerhouse who had emerged from countless geniuses after three rounds of fierce battles today.
On the list, each name shines with the glory of its respective sect.
The names of Yuwen Xuan of the royal family, Ling Qingxue of the Ice Soul Divine Palace, Zhan Wuji of the Heavenly Battle Sect, and Tang Yin of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, which were already recognized as contenders for the top spot, were prominently listed, which was not surprising.
However, the center of the commotion in the capital tonight is not these demons who are already famous throughout the world.
Instead, it was the name at the end of the list that attracted everyone's attention: Chen Fei of the Danchen Sect.
Amidst a sea of half-step Heavenly Lord titles, this anomaly, marked as the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, streaked across the night sky like a comet, entering this ultimate battlefield belonging to the half-step Heavenly Lords with unstoppable force.
"Top 20! Chen Fei really made it into the top 20!"
"With the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, he defeated three half-step Heavenly Monarchs—Xu Zhaojie, Yu Jinsheng, and Zhang Jianzhou—in succession, and made it into the top twenty! This is simply a myth!"
"His secret technique of fusing his personality with the Dao domain that day was extremely dangerous, but its power was truly terrifying! Even Yu Jinsheng was defeated by him head-on!"
"But this secret technique is too risky! He's essentially gambling his entire cultivation path on every single battle! One wrong move and he's doomed!"
"It is precisely because of the danger that it is all the more legendary! The fact that he dared to take this path proves that his willpower is far stronger than that of ordinary people!"
"Tomorrow is the final battle! Twenty to ten, ten to five, and finally the champion will be decided! Can Chen Fei continue to create miracles?"
"How long can his Dao Domain hold out? Tomorrow, those real monsters won't give him any chance to breathe!"
Throughout the entire capital, whether in restaurants and teahouses or on the streets and alleys, everyone was frantically discussing the day's battle, and the focus of the discussion was undoubtedly Chen Fei.
His name is mentioned repeatedly by countless people, and every battle he fought is embellished and exaggerated.
His entry into the top 20 with his peak Tai Cang Realm cultivation, along with his controversial and risky Heavenly Status integrated into the Dao Domain Secret Technique, made him the most talked-about and eye-catching figure in this competition.
Some admire his courage and ability, believing him to be a once-in-a-millennium genius who has the potential to break through barriers and make history.
Some questioned his secret method, believing it was merely a short-sighted solution that would eventually backfire, causing his Dao domain to shatter and his cultivation level to decline.
Some people expect him to continue his winning streak tomorrow and compete with the truly top-tier prodigies.
Some people watched coldly, waiting to see him fall from grace in front of true powerhouses.
Praise and doubt, expectation and curse, like ice and fire, intertwined around Chen Fei, making him the most dazzling star in the capital tonight.
"Chen Fei will lose his first match tomorrow! His secret technique consumes too much energy; any half-step Heavenly Monarch could easily wear him down!"
"Bullshit! Didn't you see how he won today? He cleaved Yu Jinsheng's Dharma Image in two with one halberd, and defeated Zhang Jianzhou with another! You call that being worn down? I bet he still has energy left!"
"Yu Li? His secret technique was obtained in exchange for his Heavenly Rank! It's a miracle he's lasted this long! He definitely won't be able to do it tomorrow!"
"Whether he can do it or not, we'll know after tomorrow's match! I bet he can make it into the top five!"
"Top five? You're dreaming! Every single one of the top twenty tomorrow is a monster! Yuwen Xuan, Ling Qingxue, Zhan Wuji, Tang Yin... Chen Fei would have to kneel before any one of them!"
"That's not necessarily true! If he can beat Jinsheng, why can't he beat Zhan Wuji?"
"Can Yu Jinsheng compare to Zhan Wuji? Zhan Wuji is the number one person of this generation in the Heavenly Battle Sect! He is known as the reincarnation of the God of War! Chen Fei's Dao Domain would probably shatter at the slightest touch in front of Zhan Wuji's Heaven-Shattering Battle Intent!"
"Heh, we'll see!"
Similar debates are taking place in every corner of the capital city.
No one could convince anyone else. Where was Chen Fei's limit? Would his Dao Domain be broken in tomorrow's battle? How far could he go? These questions became the suspense in everyone's hearts tonight.
Meanwhile, the betting odds, which have the keenest sense of opportunity, have already begun to frantically adjust their odds based on today's results.
Chen Fei's betting odds have once again become the most popular choice.
"I'm betting on whether Chen Fei can make it into the top ten tomorrow..."
"I'm betting on whether Chen Fei will meet Yuwen Xuan tomorrow..."
"I'm betting on whether Chen Fei's Dao Domain will be damaged tomorrow..."
The various and diverse betting odds attract countless gamblers and speculators.
While Chen Fei's odds are still not as low as those of top prodigies, they have been significantly lowered compared to yesterday. Clearly, bookmakers are reassessing his true ability and are no longer willing to offer such high odds.
Everyone is looking forward to the final battle tomorrow.
That will be the most exciting day of the Grand Competition, and it will also determine the ownership of the seventeenth-rank lower-grade spiritual materials, as well as the birth of this year's champion!
On the roof of a quiet room deep within the Dan Chen Sect's territory.
Xu Ziqian sat alone, looking towards the direction of Chen Fei's quiet room, his eyes dim and complicated.
His injuries had stabilized under the care of Elder Zhang Duchuan. However, he was still weak and pale.
Liu Ruxu appeared silently behind him, and seeing his lonely figure, her heart ached slightly. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, sat down beside him, and gently took his cold hand in hers.
Xu Ziqian did not turn around, but simply let her hold his hand.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and low: "I am not as good as him." (End of Chapter)
