Currently, the expressions of Jun Wunian, Duan Yang, Situ Liuyun, Ren Tianya, Huo Ting, Yu Qing and the rest were incomparably ice-cold. They were people who had grudges with Jiang Feng, and when they saw that Jiang Feng had grasped the space of concept, their expressions became ugly.
As for Ye Gucheng, he had already been utterly defeated before he had even met Jiang Feng. His face was now ashen, and he knew that he no longer had the qualifications to compete with Jiang Feng anymore. The other party had already grasped the Concept of Space, and he had not even touched the threshold of the Concept of Martial Arts.
On the other hand, Lin Xianer, Nangong Fan, Wang Lie, and Yu Tong were incomparably happy. They considered Jiang Feng as their friend and were sincerely happy that Jiang Feng had won.
The finals were going to be a hot one, and the intense battles were going to take place one after another!
Not long after Jiang Feng's victory, Nangong Fan, Huo Ting, and Qin Xiangyun also appeared one after another!
Amongst the three of them, only Huo Ting had stepped into the concealment, and his opponent's cultivation was not as good as his, so he won easily.
As for Nangong Fan, after a long and bitter battle, he finally won.
As for Qin Xiangyun, her cultivation had indeed increased by a lot. The other party was of the same realm as her, yet she was actually unable to resist against her, and was sent flying in the end.
So far, out of the ten people in Rain Country, eight had advanced to the second round of the finals.
Qin Yao, defeated in the profound practitioning world of the nine palaces and in the first round of finals, respectively.
Yu Chunqiu's hands were trembling from excitement. Of the ten participants, eight were able to advance into the top 100, which was a never before seen miracle in the history of the Rain Country.
A lot of Rain Country's geniuses were already killed by Jiang Feng, so they did not hold much hope for this year's Imperial Assembly. In the end, they directly advanced into eight people, which was really too unexpected.
But Yu Chunqiu was only moved for a moment, he knew, eight people getting promoted did not mean much, only by passing the second round of finals and entering the top 50, would they be qualified to receive the rewards given by the Holy City of Nine Serenities.
Moreover, only those who could enter the top 50 would be able to prove their own abilities. This was because the first match of the finals had some luck mixed in with it.
After experiencing an entire day, the first round of battles had finally come to an end. In this period of time, Jiang Feng witnessed the victories of Xuan Jingtian, Jiang Yunfei, Jun Wunian, Shen Gonghao and the others without a fight.
And just as the first round of the finals was about to end, Gu Chen had appeared. He had not even stepped onto the stage, so there was no need for him to fight too much, and he had admitted defeat straight away. His ending speed was even faster than Jiang Feng's.
The final 100 winners would continue on to the second round of finals on the second day!
The night passed in silence, and until the next morning, everyone gathered at the public square of the Sacred Mountain.
Ye Wuying began to announce the rules of the second round of finals.
"Yesterday, during the first match of the finals, I sent people to record every match. Everyone's time to win, the fastest top 50 will have the qualifications to choose their opponent. As for the selected contestants, they can only accept the challenge; they can't be refused!"
"Next, I will announce the geniuses that have obtained the qualifications to choose their opponents according to the time of victory!"
After Ye Wuying finished introducing the people, he glanced at the hundred people who had levelled up and immediately shouted out:
"Gu Chen!"
It was not surprising for Gu Chen to obtain the first round of the competition with the person with the fastest speed. This was because he had not yet stepped onto the stage, and had instead admitted defeat to the crowd, which meant that after the opponent knew who he was, he did not even have the courage to ascend the stage.
It was much more surprising than the fact that Jun Wunian's opponents admitted defeat against Xuan Jing Tian and Jiang Yunfei. At the very least, these people's opponents had all been decided on the spot after going up on stage, and had all felt the auras coming from these people.
Under the gazes of countless people, Gu Chen arrived at the Ascension Plaza. His entire being was too calm, no aura was released, as though he was a buddhist great saint who had already reached the realm of returning to his original state, and his flesh was fusing with the heaven and earth.
"You are the fastest. You will be the first one to be qualified to choose your opponent!" Even though Ye Wuying was Gu Chen's master, when he was speaking, his tone was cold and didn't contain any additional feelings.
Gu Chen calmly looked at everyone.
On the plaza, when many cultivators saw Gu Chen's gaze, they all revealed unnatural expressions.
They were afraid that they would be selected by Gu Chen, and that if they were not, they would have the chance to enter the top fifty. However, if they were chosen by Gu Chen, there would only be one result, and that would be a terrible defeat.
"I don't care who I fight against. Since that's the case, let's just wait and see." Gu Chen said indifferently, and with a flick of a finger, a snowflake suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Transforming into snowflakes out of thin air, this Gu Chen, his strength is unfathomable!" Everyone's hearts trembled. The power of nature was born from Heaven and Earth. As a cultivator of the concealment, being able to control the power of nature was not an easy matter.
At this moment, in the public square of the Sacred Mountain, countless gazes were riveted onto the snowflakes, wanting to see exactly who they would land on.
It had to be said that this was one of the great wonders of the Imperial Assembly. Because of a single Gu Chen, everyone felt fear in their hearts, afraid that they would be selected by him.
If there was no one who took him seriously, then this person would be Jiang Feng. Although he was only at the ninth level of the Star Origin Realm, he would not need to fear Gu Chen at all if he were to go head to head with him!
This was one of the cards he had hidden in the Imperial Assembly. The reason he did not take it in seclusion was because he wanted to make use of it when he was in Imperial Assembly, when he ascended the Holy Mountain and comprehended the martial will of the strong warriors of the previous generation, and then swallow it all in one go. At that time, his cultivation might even reach the second sky of the Hidden Realm.
Even if the time was not ripe, Jiang Feng was 100% sure that after swallowing the Ten Thousand Year Blood Lotus, his cultivation would be able to directly break through to the concealment. Although he did not dare say that he had hope of winning against Gu Chen, at least he did not have any fear in his heart.
The snowflakes gradually drifted down, their orbits indeterminate. In the end, they descended upon the head of a young man.
Seeing the snowflakes falling, this person's face turned pale. He was only at the 8th level of the Star Origin Stage. In the first round of the competition, he met a relatively weak opponent which was why he was able to advance.
Finally, the snowflakes fell on his head and melted. The situation had already been decided, and he was powerless to change it.
"The heavens have chosen you. That's you. Come out." Gu Chen looked at the chosen one and spoke indifferently.
