Chapter 263

No one had expected Cao Zhongtian to take the initiative to challenge Duan Hao.

However, after thinking about it, Situ Linyu, Duan Hao, and Chen Yu were all eyeing the throne of first place.

Cao Zhongtian also felt the pressure, so he took the initiative to defeat one of them.

Even so, would Duan Hao definitely lose?

No one could give an accurate answer.

It was precisely because there was some suspense that made it even more exciting.

On the stone platform, Chen Yu was also very interested in this battle.

Before the competition, everyone had speculated that Cao Zhongtian, who was third in the previous competition, had the highest chance of winning first place.

On the other side, Duan Hao was also extraordinary. Chen Yu didn't know how much Duan Hao had grown in the few months he was away.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, the two people on the platform moved at the same time.

A huge black axe appeared in Cao Zhongtian's hand. There were twisted and sinister demonic patterns on it, and as he waved it, a shocking demonic axe light whizzed out.

On the other side, Duan Hao's body surged with a murderous aura as he punched out.

The murderous aura from the fist turned into a ferocious giant tiger that opened its bloody mouth and pounced out.

Booooom!

Their attacks intertwined and tore at each other.

"Cao Zhongtian's true qi is slightly stronger than Luo Yongguang's, but Duan Hao's fist technique is of a higher realm!"

While spectating the battle, Chen Yu analyzed the strength of the two players.

Swoosh!

After throwing out a punch, Duan Hao immediately rushed out and closed in on Cao Zhongtian.

"Good!"

Cao Zhongtian's expression was dignified, and the demonic aura behind him soared into the sky like a demon lord.

The Demonic Dao was boundlessly domineering, suppressing all things.

At this moment, Cao Zhongtian's body burst forth with a shocking demonic aura that could suppress and deter enemies.

If it was someone with a weak heart and a weak will, they would have lost the will to fight.

However, Duan Hao's will to fight was completely unaffected.

Boom!

Duan Hao jumped up and swept his leg out. The Black Wind Leg seemed to have turned into a black dragon that charged out.

"Leg technique?"

Cao Zhongtian was slightly surprised.

Obviously, he did not expect that Duan Hao, who had previously displayed a fist technique, would suddenly display a leg technique.

Seeing that the leg was about to reach him, Cao Zhongtian raised his axe and blocked it.

Bang Bang!

That powerful kick landed on Cao Zhongtian's demonic axe, setting off a violent wave of killing intent.

Thud thud!

Cao Zhongtian took three steps back and stopped.

"Duan Hao actually has the upper hand?"

"Cao Zhongtian was pushed back a few steps by Duan Hao!"

Everyone exclaimed.

No one had expected that Cao Zhongtian, who was most likely to seize the first position, would actually allow Duan Hao to gain the upper hand in their first confrontation.

"Hehe, Duan Hao is a martial arts genius. He can multitask and cultivate both fist and leg techniques at the same time. Moreover, he can use them in battle at the same time, catching his opponent off guard."

Nie Xuan chuckled.

It wasn't that there weren't people who cultivated multiple battle skills at the same time, but it was somewhat difficult to master two battle skills in a battle without affecting each other.

"Boy, I admit that I have underestimated you. However, if this is all you have, you are far from being my opponent!"

Cao Zhongtian bellowed.

Giant Demon Thirteen Axes!

Cao Zhongtian fiercely raised the Great Axe in his hand, and chopped out an astonishing Axe Light.

Whoosh!

Duan Hao's figure flashed, dodging it and punching out.

At the same time, Cao Zhongtian once again chopped out with his Great Axe, the power was even more domineering.

Rumble!

Cao Zhongtian's body emitted an endless berserk aura, the Great Devil Axe repeatedly chopped, leaving axe marks on the challenge stage.

"Boy, I have a total of thirteen axe strikes, the power is gradually increasing, how many strikes can you withstand?"

Cao Zhongtian roared, his demonic voice vibrating.

While attacking the enemy, Cao Zhongtian also used words to attack the enemy's state of mind, causing them to waver.

However, all of this was useless against Duan Hao, his expression remained unchanged.

"I can take all of them!"

Duan Hao's cold and evil face revealed a confident smile.

Boom!

The evil wind around Duan Hao's body skyrocketed, his speed became faster, and while dodging Cao Zhongtian, he also launched a counterattack.

His fists and feet struck out, dragon and tiger roared!

"Then let's try!"

Cao Zhongtian's face was gloomy, the power of the axe continued to rise, stacking up.

The battle became more and more intense!

"Great Devil Thirteen Axe!"

Cao Zhongtian's thirteenth axe strike finally appeared.

The Great Devil Axe was surrounded by demonic qi, at a glance, it seemed that the entire axe had become huge.

As the axe chopped down, everything in front of the huge black axe shadow was shattered.

"This strike has completely reached the Xiantian middle stage!"

Chen Yu was slightly surprised.

Sure enough, the geniuses in the academy were incomparably strong, it was not impossible for them to challenge those of a higher level.

Seeing that, the axe slammed down.

Whoosh!

A surge of bloodline power erupted from Duan Hao's body, a layer of black wind patterns appeared on the surface of his body.

Roar!

At the same time, Duan Hao used the Devil Fiend Shadow, the bloodline power assisted his movement technique, causing his speed to increase a lot, comparable to Chen Yu who used this secret technique with all his strength.

Duan Hao seemed to have turned into a black whirlwind, dodging Cao Zhongtian's attack and circling behind him.

"What? He dodged it! "

Cao Zhongtian was incomparably angry.

Duan Hao forcefully collided with his twelve axe strikes, causing Cao Zhongtian to think that Duan Hao would also forcefully resist the thirteenth axe strike.

But in the end, Duan Hao's speed erupted with all his might, dodging.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Duan Hao arrived behind Cao Zhongtian.

At the same time, a black iron glove appeared on his right hand.

"Nine Heavens Tiger Roar!"

Duan Hao mobilized his True Qi and bloodline power and threw a powerful punch.

An incomparably huge ferocious black tiger pounced at Cao Zhongtian with an astonishing gust of wind.

"Oh no!"

Cao Zhongtian felt the danger and immediately activated his defensive combat skill.

Black Qi surged on the surface of his body, instantly forming a black shield.

Crack!

The ferocious giant tiger pounced down, and in less than half a breath, it tore the black shield apart and pounced at Cao Zhongtian.

Boom!

There was a loud noise. On the challenge stage, the raging Devil Fiend Black Wind blocked everything.

"What's the situation?"

"Did Cao Zhongtian lose?"

Everyone stared at the stage, their heartstrings pulled.

"Ah …"

A roar rose from the ground.

A burst of demonic intent erupted, dispersing everything.

Cao Zhongtian's entire body grew a little taller, like a small giant, with his body as the center, forming a gravity field with a radius of ten zhang.

"The Cao Family's Gravity Bloodline."

Situ Linyu smiled slightly.

At the crucial moment, Cao Zhongtian activated his bloodline and formed a gravity field, further reducing Duan Hao's attack.

But obviously, Cao Zhongtian was still injured by Duan Hao.

Swoosh!

Duan Hao immediately retreated from the gravity field.

"Duan Family's boy, die!"

Cao Zhongtian was extremely furious. He rushed forward and slashed out a black axe shadow.

However, Duan Hao relied on the enhancement of his bloodline and speed to avoid a head-on confrontation.

The Duan Family's bloodline was called "Fierce Wind Bloodline." After activating it, it would enhance wind-type cultivation techniques, combat skills, and slightly increase speed.

On the challenge stage, Cao Zhongtian pressed forward step by step, while Duan Hao dodged and moved around.

After a period of time, Cao Zhongtian gradually became unable to endure.

The main reason was that Duan Hao's sudden outburst had left a serious injury on him. Otherwise, it was uncertain who would have won.

After hesitating for a while, Cao Zhongtian made a decision.

"I admit defeat!"

Cao Zhongtian stopped attacking and gritted his teeth.

If this continued, not only would his chances of winning be slim, but his injuries would also become more serious.

"Duan Hao wins!"

The judge announced the result.

"Duan Hao actually defeated Cao Zhongtian!"

Cao Zhongtian, who was most likely to win first place, was defeated in the first battle. This was out of everyone's expectations.

Moreover, Cao Zhongtian was the strongest representative among the older students. This caused all the older students to feel ashamed.

"I didn't expect the Duan Family's boy to be so strong. Maybe I made the wrong choice just now. I should have challenged Chen Yu first!"

Cao Zhongtian returned to the number three stone platform and could not help but feel regretful.

However, he still had a chance.

Finally, the first round of the ranking competition ended and the second round began.

In the twentieth place, the beautiful late-stage Postnatal girl did not challenge anyone.

In the nineteenth place, she gave up.

In the eighteenth place, Wei Ran challenged the tenth place and won.

Next, Nie Xuan challenged the seventh place and won.

Compared to the first round, the second round's battles ended much faster.

After all, everyone had experienced a round of battle, and many of them had extremely serious injuries.

The second round of challenges proceeded very quickly. Before long, it was Chen Yu's turn again.

On the first stone platform, Duan Hao could not help but open his eyes and look at Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu wants to challenge Duan Hao?"

Everyone knew that Chen Yu's goal was to win the first place!

However, Duan Hao had even defeated Cao Zhongtian. Could Chen Yu defeat Duan Hao?

"I challenge the first place!"

Chen Yu suddenly shouted and jumped onto the platform.

As soon as he said that, the crowd went into an uproar again.

In the attic.

Liu Xuanzong and Qiu Xiuyue of the Blood Evil Sect were slightly stunned.

They did not expect that two students from the Blood Evil Academy would fight for the first place in the second round.

They hoped that Chen Yu would give up on challenging Duan Hao and fight for the second or third place.

If he succeeded, the Blood Evil Academy would have two students in the top three in this year's Freshmen Competition. However, the two students from the Blood Evil Academy had fought in advance.

"Great!"

Duan Hao's eyes were full of fighting spirit as he walked onto the platform.

He had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.

The battle broke out instantly!

Roar!

Roar! Roar! Roar! Chen Yu and Duan Hao used the Devil Wild Shadow at the same time.

The crowd seemed to see two ferocious beasts colliding violently.

"Slash!"

Chen Yu waved the Dark Heavy Sword in his hand and a layer of ferocious aura burst out.

On the other side, Duan Hao did not show any weakness. He used his fist art and punched out a ferocious tiger.

After punching out, Duan Hao immediately swept out his leg.

Under such circumstances, Chen Yu's attack must be at a disadvantage.

Roar!

Chen Yu used the Devil Wild Shadow to increase his speed and dodge Duan Hao's kick attack.

That was not the end. Chen Yu's speed was getting faster and faster. Layers of black wind covered the entire platform.

His figure turned into three and it was hard to tell which one was the real one.

"Humph, I know this move too!"

Duan Hao snorted.

As soon as he finished his words, Duan Hao used his body movement skill and sprinted forward.

Buzz!

A layer of black wind pattern appeared on the surface of his body again and increased his speed.

With the help of the bloodline, Duan Hao's speed increased again and he successfully used the second move of the secret skill.

On the platform, six people were running at high speed.

"Oh? What about the third move? "

Chen Yu curled up the corner of his mouth.

"You've learned the third move?"

Hearing that, Duan Hao's expression changed.

As soon as he finished his words.

On the platform, Chen Yu increased his speed again and a field of black wind was formed.
