"This child has a connection with me!"

On the viewing stand, Elder Gongshu smiled, having the thought of taking Sun Tao as a disciple.

Elder Huoyun didn't speak; he had Xu Yang, and that was enough. Although no one would complain about having too many good disciples, he couldn't hog them all.

Elder Tie Fu also didn't speak; he already had a Lu Ren, and similarly, he couldn't covet Sun Tao anymore.

Yue Zhong revealed a smile and also didn't speak.

"Who he wants to take as a master is not up to you to decide."

Elder Wufeng, one of the four great elders of Li Huo Peak, snorted coldly, also having the thought of taking a disciple.

Sun Tao looks like a late bloomer, but he can't let Elder Gongshu pick up a bargain.

"Then let him choose for himself. With your skills, Wufeng, making some farm tools is fine, but you are far behind in forging weapons." Elder Gongshu snorted coldly.

……

On the stage, Sun Tao was the center of attention.

"Sun Tao wins, replacing Han Feng to rank ninth among the Ten Elites. All rewards will be distributed uniformly after the ranking ends!" Yang Yuanzhou spoke.

"Yes!" Sun Tao cupped his hands, turned, and leaped off the stage.

Although Han Feng was unwilling, he also understood that the situation was irreversible, and cupped his hands towards Yang Yuanzhou, saying: "Disciple wishes to challenge Xiong Kun."

Xiong Kun's face was extremely black; he didn't expect that today it wasn't him challenging Han Feng, but Han Feng coming to challenge him. He had become a soft persimmon in everyone's eyes.

Yang Yuanzhou nodded: "You go down and adjust your breath first."

"Senior Brother Sun, congratulations!" Xu Yang stepped forward to offer congratulations.

Sun Tao still had unhidden excitement on his face and sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Sun Tao, would have such a day; it's simply incredible."

Once upon a time, he could only look at Xu Yang galloping on the stage with envy from under the stage, and today it was finally his turn.

Although he was still not as dazzling as Xu Yang, he could be considered to be standing on the same stage.

"Brother Sun is astonishing; it is a cause for celebration." Jiang Fan also stepped forward to offer congratulations.

Xiong Kun had a black face, having a premonition that in this Ten Elites ranking, he would probably be blasted off just like last time before his seat was even warm. Originally, he was about the same as Lu Ren, but no one wanted to offend Lu Ren's weapon-forging talent, so they just picked on him to challenge.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun, for showing mercy."

Lu Ren walked over and cupped his hands solemnly.

His ranking was higher than Han Feng's, but he didn't have this ranking because of his strength, but because of his weapon-forging talent.

Sun Tao could defeat Han Feng, and he could also defeat him, but Sun Tao didn't challenge him, obviously still considering the fellowship of the Weiyuan Hall.

Sun Tao shook his head: "You at least call me Senior Brother; how could I challenge you."

Lu Ren had betrayed Zhang Yong and Jiang Ping, but he had never done anything wrong to him. Later, Lu Ren killed the Five Tigers of the Profound Blade to avenge Jiang Ping, so he didn't dislike Lu Ren that much anymore.

And as a senior brother, he had always been very qualified from the Weiyuan Hall to the Profound Sun Sect, even Xu Yang had always held him in respect.

Soon, Xiong Kun got on the stage and exchanged blows with Xie Zhan. After a fierce battle of a hundred moves, Xie Zhan was still no match for Xiong Kun, just like in the Outer Sect, and was blasted off the stage.

"Han Feng, get on the stage and fight!"

After simply adjusting his breath, Xiong Kun couldn't wait to speak, his roar like thunder.

Han Feng took a deep breath and landed on the stage in one step.

"Fight!"

It wasn't the first time the two had exchanged blows, so they didn't have too much nonsense and directly fought into a ball.

Surging Gang Qi submerged the entire stage, and the two were like fighting in a sea of blood.

Neither of them had a way out!

Losing meant falling out of the Ten Elites List and losing the sect's tilted resources, so compared to before, both of them were exceptionally desperate.

Xiong Kun had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his physical body was tempered very strongly. Every punch and palm was powerful and heavy, extremely rigid and fierce.

Han Feng was relatively thin and small, but his strength was no weaker than Xiong Kun's.

He wasn't as anxious as Xiong Kun, and every move was steady. The two had exchanged blows several times, and he had won every time, so his mentality was relatively better, and he was confident in defeating Xiong Kun to win tenth place.

After dozens of moves, unable to attack for a long time, Xiong Kun was obviously a bit anxious. Although his moves looked even more fierce, they were no longer calm.

"The opportunity has come!"

Xiong Kun's rhythm was disrupted, and Han Feng became more and more calm.

After exchanging dozens of moves again, he found a flaw, tore through Xiong Kun's body-protecting Gang Qi with one sword, and left a hideous wound on Xiong Kun's body.

Han Feng withdrew his sword to the side and cupped his hands, saying: "I accept the win!"

"I haven't lost; I can still fight."

Xiong Kun's eyes were red, his Gang Qi stopped the bleeding, and he still wanted to fight.

He was very unwilling; twice he squeezed onto the Ten Elites List, and both times he was squeezed down before his seat was even warm.

"Too miserable!" Lu Ren whispered.

Anyone would be unable to bear this kind of encounter.

Others also looked at Xiong Kun with sympathy. If it weren't for the accidental appearance of the dark horse Sun Tao, Xiong Kun's strength would definitely have been able to secure the tenth position of the Ten Elites.

"I already held back just now!" Han Feng frowned.

Xiong Kun could still fight, entirely because he didn't use a lethal move; otherwise, the sword wouldn't have just cut Xiong Kun's skin and flesh, but could have even cut his internal organs.

"Get down!" Yang Yuanzhou snorted coldly.

With the elder speaking, no matter how unwilling Xiong Kun was, he didn't dare to continue to entangle, so he had to jump off the stage unwillingly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge the disciples on the Ten Elites List?"

Yang Yuanzhou said loudly, and no disciple made a sound.

Yang Yuanzhou spoke again: "Next, the ranking challenge begins."

Once these words were spoken, everyone's spirits were greatly boosted. The Ten Elites ranking challenge, the real battle had begun.

Li Chuyang turned into a silver light and landed on the stage for the first time. His aura shook the stage, causing a roar. His sharp gaze swept over Xu Yang and Jiang Fan, and he said sternly: "Jiang Fan, come up and fight!"

Between Xu Yang and Jiang Fan, he chose to challenge Jiang Fan first.

Of course, his ranking was higher than Xu Yang's, and according to the rules, he couldn't challenge downwards.

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on Jiang Fan. The two had exchanged blows when they were in the Outer Sect, but Jiang Fan lost by one move.

During the Ten Elites ranking, because Jiang Fan broke through slightly earlier, his ranking was above Li Chuyang's. Li Chuyang had long been unconvinced by this ranking.

Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Fan's expression was as calm as an ancient well. He had long anticipated Li Chuyang's challenge.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Crimson Gang Qi flowed on Jiang Fan's body, and the Nine-Turn Blood-Condensing Battle Gang was activated, rushing onto the stage like a blood light.

"Fight!"

Li Chuyang let out a loud shout, like a thunderclap exploding. Silver Gang Qi surged like a tide, and an overbearing aura covered the sky and earth.

The next moment, he disappeared from where he was like a silver light, his body tearing through the air, carrying rolling Gang Qi, sweeping towards Jiang Fan like a stormy sea.

Jiang Fan was like a burning furnace, crimson Gang Qi rushing out from the top of his head, his whole body looking like it was stained with blood, his fighting spirit extremely high.

The Nine-Turn Blood-Condensing Battle Gang is a Gang Qi condensation cultivation method summarized from battles in the army. It values fighting spirit the most; the higher the fighting spirit, the stronger the power of the Gang Qi.

"Boom!"

Jiang Fan tapped his toes on the stage, and his body suddenly disappeared, also rushing out. His body crashed through the air, emitting a deafening roar.

The next moment, two figures, one red and one white, collided heavily like two meteors.

"Bang!"

It was as if two large mountains collided. The red and white Gang Qi exchanged blows, and the shockwave swept across the sky and earth, submerging the entire stage, which was two zhang wide and long.

"Boom boom boom……"

The stage shook, the floor tiles of the martial arts arena exploded with a roar, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and some disciples who were close by revealed painful expressions, horrified as they raised their body-protecting Gang Qi and retreated.

"So strong!" Many people were so shocked that their scalps went numb.

This is the strength of the first and second of the Ten Elites. They couldn't even withstand the aftermath of their exchange of blows. It is hard to imagine how powerful the two people fighting were, that their physical bodies didn't disintegrate in such a terrifying collision.

"Haha…… satisfying, Jiang Fan, you finally have some appearance of a strong person."

In the wave of dispersed Gang Qi, Li Chuyang's figure appeared, his robes dancing wildly, his whole body flowing with silver Gang light.

"You, however, have somewhat disappointed me!"

Jiang Fan's calm voice rang out, like a war god who had never been defeated on the battlefield. Blood light surged on his body, and his fighting spirit was higher than ever before.

He had a gentle temperament and was warm to people. Even the matter of Lu Ren and Xiao Ya didn't anger him, but towards Li Chuyang, he was becoming more and more disgusted, which stirred up his fighting spirit.
