However, the few prodigies who still held undefeated records were much more cautious now. After all, to remain undefeated, choices made early on were very important.
In the Martial Arts Assembly, points were a crucial reference for the top three rankings. If the number of wins and losses was the same, points could be referenced. If points were also the same, they would compete against each other to decide the winner.
According to the usual point rules. Defeating an undefeated opponent earned two points. Defeating an opponent with losses only earned one point. Therefore, contestants aiming for the top three would not choose weak opponents. However, the prodigies who could remain undefeated for three rounds were all quite strong.
Zhang Hao looked solemnly at Murong Fei on the main seat. This person was truly the most dangerous one today. In the previous three rounds, he had defeated his opponents with overwhelming force. No more than three Moves. Such strength absolutely required Zhang Hao to list him among the most dangerous individuals.
Zhang Hao felt several gazes intentionally or unintentionally fall upon him. At this moment, Zhang Hao was a little annoyed. Damn it, I'm still being treated as a pushover. This is unbearable.
In the previous rounds, others had challenged him. At this moment, Zhang Hao was also thinking, since he was always being provoked, should he take the initiative to attack? Just as he was about to make a Move.
Li Jinwen stepped into the arena.
The Martial Warriors present changed their expressions slightly. Li Jinwen, as the Prodigy of the Li Family, one of the three great families in Watt Country, had been first in the Family competition for five consecutive years, and his cultivation was absolutely unfathomable. It was rumored that a year ago, he had fought fiercely with Murong Fei for fifty Moves before stopping and reaching a truce.
Regardless of whether Murong Fei held back or not, the fact that Li Jinwen could fight him for fifty Moves without a clear winner already showed Li Jinwen's strength.
Apart from Murong Fei, the only one Zhang Hao couldn't see through in the arena was Yun Qiuyu. She was like Murong Fei. Zhang Hao couldn't see through their cultivation. The System displayed '??'. It was clear they had cultivated techniques that could hide their cultivation.
Dozens of gazes fell upon Li Jinwen. He was exuding Killing Intent. His opponents in the previous rounds had all been severely injured. He was also listed by the Martial Warriors present as the opponent they least wanted to face.
Li Jinwen's gaze finally landed on Zhang Hao.
"Zhang Hao, hurry up and get up here to die!" Li Jinwen shouted.
Zhang Hao was also a little displeased at being provoked. He walked onto the stage with his arms crossed, looked at Li Jinwen, and said with a half-smile, "You're seeking death yourself, so don't blame me."
"Alas, this trash has met a tough opponent now. Li Jinwen is a Martial Master at the fourth level of cultivation. He might stop here. Moreover, given the hatred between their two families, if he encounters Li Jinwen, he'll probably end up dead or crippled!" Wang Taizhen smiled wickedly.
"Is that so? I don't quite think so. I can't see through this guy's true cultivation either. He must have cultivated some kind of breath-concealing technique. Perhaps he might give us a surprise." Yun Qiuyu said with a smile in her bright eyes.
"That's because you think too highly of him. Even if a piece of trash bursts out, it's limited." Wang Taizhen said disapprovingly.
Murong Fei on the side smiled faintly. He didn't express an opinion, but just cast his gaze on Zhang Hao, deep in thought. For some reason, he always felt that Zhang Hao might become a major opponent for him.
"The match begins!" The Referee shouted loudly.
Li Jinwen's sharp gaze locked onto Zhang Hao. He said to him indifferently, "You killed my second brother and injured my third brother. I must avenge this hatred. Although today is the Martial Arts Assembly and killing is forbidden, I will cripple you, making you wish you were dead!"
"This Young Master will do exactly what Brother Li did. Let's see who has the last laugh!"
Zhang Hao's words were light and breezy, but they carried extreme Killing Intent. The conversation between the two carried strong Killing Intent.
"Take out your weapon!" Li Jinwen's sharp gaze fell upon Zhang Hao.
"When it's time to use it, I will." Zhang Hao said calmly.
In fact, although Zhang Hao had the Snow Drinking Saber, he hadn't used it much because he didn't have matching techniques. After all, a good saber also needed techniques; otherwise, no matter how sharp, it would be useless if it couldn't hit anyone.
"In that case, don't blame me for bullying you when you're unarmed."
Li Jinwen smiled, and his long saber was unsheathed. A sharp saber light burst forth.
"Good saber!"
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up. He praised.
"Watch out for my Move!"
Li Jinwen's figure was extremely fast, shooting out like an arrow. The next second, he appeared before Zhang Hao. The long saber in his hand instantly slashed out sixteen times.
Every slash erupted with strong Killing Intent. Like a storm sweeping away scattered clouds, they covered Zhang Hao's head.
"Good timing!"
Zhang Hao's expression was solemn.
"Luo Han Fist!"
The Luo Han Fist at the Great Accomplishment Realm exploded out, instantly unleashing sixteen punches. They struck Li Jinwen's saber blade with incredible precision.
Seeing that Zhang Hao actually dared to meet his saber with bare hands, Li Jinwen sneered inwardly. But soon, he was astonished to find that every single one of his slashes had actually been blocked.
"How is this possible? I'm a Martial Master at the fourth level of cultivation. Could his cultivation be no less than mine?" Li Jinwen was secretly shocked.
Zhang Hao let out a cold snort. Using Swallow Shadow Drift, his body was like a ghost, circled around Li Jinwen, and punched down.
The momentum was like a startled swan, the punch went straight for the back of Li Jinwen.
However, Li Jinwen's reaction was also not slow. He slashed with his saber, blocking Zhang Hao's attack. The sharp saber edge then followed the momentum and went straight for Zhang Hao's face.
"Break for me!"
Zhang Hao didn't back down at all and met it with a punch.
The punch and the saber collided. The saber light shattered, but Zhang Hao was also forced back three steps. His hand felt a little numb.
"Heavenly Absolute Three Slashes!"
Li Jinwen strode towards Zhang Hao. He slashed down at Zhang Hao with three slashes. Each of these three slashes was stronger than the last. Terrifying saber energy formed three storms, as if they were going to swallow Zhang Hao whole.
Zhang Hao felt a fierce Killing Intent completely lock onto him, as if an ancient Ferocious Beast was going to devour him.
"Zhang Hao, just die for me!"
Li Jinwen smiled triumphantly.
"Luo Han Fist!"
It was still the Luo Han Fist, but it was the Luo Han Fist at the Perfected Realm. Its power had increased significantly compared to the Great Accomplishment Realm Luo Han Fist.
Turbulent storms exploded in the space. Zhang Hao's fist actually directly shattered the saber light, and its momentum unchanged, it once again shook off both the second and third slashes.
Zhang Hao's fist was like an impenetrable copper wall and iron barrier.
"Let's see what other tricks you have!"
Zhang Hao's body flickered, darting out like a phantom, and pounced towards Li Jinwen.
A chilling aura emanated from Li Jinwen.
Zhang Hao felt a terrifying aura coming from Li Jinwen, his heart slightly tightened, and he immediately stopped his movement.
Yun Qiuyu, Murong Fei, Wang Taizhen, and others on the side were all extremely surprised.
Especially Murong Fei, who smiled faintly. He murmured, "He's finally going to use that Move."
Yun Qiuyu on the side asked curiously, "Do you know this Move? Why do I feel a very dangerous aura?"
"Hehe, when I fought him last year, in the end, he used this Move, and that's why we reached a truce. At that time, even I was caught a little off guard by this Move." Murong Fei's eyes revealed a strange light.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Yun Qiuyu's face. She said lightly, "It seems Zhang Hao is in danger."
Zhang Hao also felt an extremely dangerous aura. It was as if he was facing an ancient Ferocious Beast. The saber in Li Jinwen's hand turned blood-red.
"Zhang Hao, if you die under this Move of mine, it will be a death well deserved." Li Jinwen laughed wildly.
