C105 Zhang Jie's Unexpected Victory
Although the weakest of them was at the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage, if it wasn't for Gu Yuan, Zhang Jie and the others would have been eliminated a long time ago.
What's more, before Zhang Jie and the others came out, their family had also given them a trump card. At that time, they might even be able to win a few matches.
The hundred people drew lots very quickly. There were a total of 25 fighting stages, which were divided into the morning and afternoon rounds.
Gu Yuan's number was at the back, so it was arranged to be in the afternoon. However, Zhang Jie and the others were all in the morning.
After cheering for a while, Zhang Jie and the other four walked towards their own battling platforms at the same time.
Gu Yuan observed in secret and noticed that Wang Jian's opponents were all in the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage. Even though the chances of victory were still slim, he did not want to face an opponent in the later phase of the Aurous Core stage who had no chance at all.
Only Zhang Jie's opponent made Gu Yuan frown.
"How could it be this person?" Qin Xiaoyue, who was at the back, also exclaimed when she saw Zhang Jie's opponent.
Zhang Jie's opponent was actually the Fire Sect disciple that Gu Yuan had taught a lesson to.
The moment Gu Yuan saw this person, he was already sweating for Zhang Jie in his heart.
However, since the two of them were already on stage, Gu Yuan had no way to help, so he could only wait and see.
The moment he saw Zhang Jie, this man from Fire Sect laughed sinisterly, and said: "It seems that enemies are quite narrow. Let me see who else can save you this time."
Zhang Jie also said with a cold face, "Even though I lost to you before, don't think that you can take me down."
"You're yelling. Brat, you're still being stubborn. Wait, I'll make you take the initiative to kneel and beg for forgiveness."
Before the fight had even begun, the atmosphere between the two had already turned explosive.
Qin Xiaoyue, who was behind him, subconsciously pulled on Gu Yuan's sleeve and said worriedly, "Will Zhang Jie be alright?"
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "This is not the previous exam competition. Moreover, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he probably wouldn't dare to kill him. But I'm afraid Zhang Jie will suffer a bit."
Knowing that Zhang Jie's life was in danger, Qin Xiaoyue slightly relaxed. However, when she thought about how Zhang Jie would attack again, Qin Xiaoyue still felt uneasy, afraid that something might happen.
She knew Zhang Jie very well. Don't look at how clear-headed and shrewd Zhang Jie was usually, but that was all an act by him. At the critical moment, he would also get hot-blooded, and she was afraid that Zhang Jie would be too stubborn to deal with him.
Along with the sound of a gong, the martial arts competitions on the 25 battling platforms started at the same time. A defensive barrier was erected around the battling platform.
Zhang Jie and the man from Fire Sect also impatiently attacked at the same time.
The long sword in Zhang Jie's hand pointed consecutively and he kept on attacking, but the Fire Sect disciple did not meet Zhang Jie head on and continued to dodge. At the same time, he continuously used various types of flame techniques, causing Zhang Jie to helplessly dodge and fall into a passive state in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xiaoyue's grip on Gu Yuan's sleeve became more and more nervous. Seeing Qin Xiaoyue's expression, Gu Yuan comforted her, "You have to have confidence in Zhang Jie."
Qin Xiaoyue nodded, but her eyes were still glued to the battling platform.
The cultivation path of Fire Sect seemed to be mainly focused on attacks. This might have something to do with the fact that they practiced fire-type techniques.
Once he took the initiative, the Fire Sect guy would attack ferociously without stop, not giving Zhang Jie the slightest chance. He only saw the stage being completely submerged by all kinds of fire techniques.
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Jie wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, a small jade-green shield suddenly appeared in Zhang Jie's hand. This shield was very small and small, and looked like it was made of jade.
The instant the jade-green shield appeared, Zhang Jie put the shield in front of him to protect. The fire attacked and the jade-green shield emitted a green light. A green energy was emitted from the shield to extinguish the fire.
Zhang Jie took this opportunity to attack and regain the initiative.
Seeing how powerful this small shield was, the crowd cried out in alarm.
Even Gu Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw it.0
Qin Xiaoyue seemed to recognize the shield and said, "I didn't think that Uncle Zhang would even give this treasure to him."
Gu Yuan was puzzled. Qin Xiaoyue took the initiative to explain, "This is Uncle Zhang's family heirloom, called the Jade Moon Shield. It can resist any spell below the Nascent Soul Stage and is especially effective for fire magic."
Gu Yuan was relieved. He didn't expect Zhang Jie to have such a treasure in his hands, and it was even a treasure that was able to counter the Fire element. This time, the man with Fire Sect would probably cry.
Sure enough, with the appearance of the small shield, the Fire Sect guy began to hold back his hands and feet. His attacks were completely ineffective against Zhang Jie, and he was instead forced to continuously dodge by Zhang Jie's sharp sword technique.
Maybe because he was forced into a corner, the Fire Sect man suddenly took out a fiery-red disk from his storage pouch. The moment this plate-like treasure appeared, it immediately exploded with a scorching aura.
Seeing this, the faces of Gu Yuan and Qin Xiaoyue changed. Zhang Jie, who was crazily attacking, also became cautious and retreated.
The Fire Sect man laughed sinisterly: "I was originally going to leave this treasure behind as my trump card. Since you forced me to come out, then I'll kill you!"
With that said, the Fire Sect man immediately activated the treasure in his hand, and the round plate suddenly glowed with red light and flew straight towards Zhang Jie.
Zhang Jie knew it wasn't good and hurriedly raised his jade-like shield to block. However, the jade-like shield that had always been successful was now useless against the round disk magic treasure. It suddenly cracked in the middle of the shield.
Seeing that his ancestral treasure was broken, Zhang Jian's heart ached. He put away the small shield and raised his sword to receive the attack.
"You can't!"
"No!"
Gu Yuan and Qin Xiaoyue spoke at almost the same time. They never thought that Zhang Jie would risk his life because of his affection for the ancestral magic treasure. Gu Yuan was so angry that he cursed his ignorance. However, he was still unable to stop everything that happened in the battling platform.
The sword hit the disc and broke into several pieces. Zhang Jie was sent flying and spat out a large mouthful of blood while in the air.
Qin Xiaoyue couldn't help but exclaim when she saw this scene.
The Fire Sect man didn't plan on letting Zhang Jie go just like that. Instead, he planned to activate the disk and attack Zhang Jie again.
Seeing Zhang Jie about to be hit by the disk again but still refusing to admit his defeat, Gu Yuan couldn't help but be prepared to attack him regardless of the consequences.
Suddenly, Zhang Jie, who fell to the ground, disappeared the moment the disc was about to hit him.
"What's going on?" The Fire Sect man was stunned on the spot, not understanding how the white man could just disappear right in front of his eyes.
In the next second, the air fluctuated, and Zhang Jie actually appeared behind the Fire Sect Man. The broken sword in his hand was completely fine, he extended it forward, and rested it on the Fire Sect Man's neck.
The Fire Sect man's body trembled, and his face instantly paled, not daring to move an inch.
"You lost." The words that came out of Zhang Jie's mouth made the Fire Sect man feel unresigned, but he could do nothing about it.
