Of course, Bai Yuhao wasn't really that lucky. He came back at the right time because he had to keep a low profile during the final battle.
Half an hour later, the appointed time arrived.
Most of the representatives had already returned after completing their missions, and only two or three had delayed quite a bit because they were unfamiliar with the terrain of the Sword Spirit Sect. In the end, they could only regretfully be eliminated.
After that, the representatives who had successfully passed the first trial returned to the lounge to rest and wait for the second trial to begin.
Four hours later, in the afternoon, the second test began.
Just like that, after two days of five tests, only eight representatives remained.
Amongst them, Li Yun and Bai Yuhao who was disguised as the representative of Heavenly Shadow Pavilion had successfully passed the various tests.
The representatives of the other six families and sects were not weak either, as they were almost equally matched, and could not be ranked anywhere. Especially the Ghost Kuang Saber of Hongtian Sect, which was even more eye-catching, because in the previous five trials, other than the first stage, Li Yun, who had obtained first place, the other four tests had all been given to Ghost Kuang Dao.
After two days of heavy testing, I have a complete understanding of all of your abilities. However, for Martial Spirits, what they rely on the most to survive is their own strength. So, the two of you will then proceed to a random duel until there is one person left. At the same time, she paused on Li Yun's body. From the start till now, Li Yun had already performed exceptionally well, but after that, he could only leave it up to fate.
As soon as the Begonia spoke, besides Li Yun and Wu Tie, the other six representatives also started getting restless. After all, the following battle was going to be an extremely critical one, and they couldn't afford to lose even one match.
"It's up to me to draw lots and choose who to fight against." After the Begonia said this, she gestured to the disciple beside her who was holding a lot of lots.
The disciple immediately handed the lot over to Qiuxiang.
After which, Qiuxiu casually took out two lots from the box and showed the two lots to everyone at the same time.
On the two signatures, two names were written. They were two of the representatives.
"Please send these two representatives out to battle!" The Begonia immediately indicated.
Very soon, the two representatives who were selected immediately walked into the Sword God Plaza. As they fought against each other, they displayed extraordinary auras.
Moments later, the two representatives began their battle.
After four hours of sparring, one of the representatives finally emerged victorious.
After that, the Begonia continued to draw, and the one who drew was precisely Li Yun, while his opponent was the Hundred Emperor Sect's representative for the Lin Clan, whose strength was second only to Sword Spirit Sect, Lin Wei.
Lin Wei focused on cultivating his defensive Spiritual Skill, defending and attacking, and he was good at long term battles. Coincidentally, Li Yun also had his own specialties, so this battle was about who was more patient, and the victor would be the one to last until the end.
Sure enough, after the two of them exchanged blows, their attacks became weaker and they both became more cautious. Afterwards, they entered into a long and heavy battle.
Four hours later, even though the two of them had used up a lot of Spiritual Energy s, it was clear that they were holding back.
But right at this moment, the usually calm Li Yun suddenly launched a forceful attack, and Lin Wei did not show any signs of backing down, using the defensive Spiritual Skill he was most proficient in to block.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, the two King's Realm Spiritual Energy instantly produced an astonishing collision.
However, what was unexpected was that just when everyone thought Lin Wei would defend against Li Yun's attack, Li Yun actually used an incredible pouncing motion and used his superior body to directly hit Lin Wei, who had yet to clean up the situation. In an instant, the two of them rolled onto the ground and started a close brawl.
Logically speaking, the sword techniques in the Sword Spirit Sect were mainly long-ranged and rarely used in close combat. Therefore, Li Yun's sudden change in fighting style caused everyone present to be taken aback.
Being caught off guard, he naturally suffered a loss. After two hellish training sessions with Li Yun, the toughness of his body had far surpassed before. Although Lin Wei's physique was also quite strong, it was still much worse than Li Yun's.
Thus, under such close combat, Li Yun took the opportunity to seriously injure Lin Wei.
In the end, relying on this unexpected change of move, Li Yun finally won the match without any surprise or danger.
Li Yun's victory in this showdown also caused everyone in Sword Spirit Sect to heave a sigh of relief, because as long as he could win another match, he would be able to obtain the final victory. Then, the probability of winning would at least be 50%.
"Well done!" Bai Yuhao, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, also nodded. With Li Yun's current strength, as long as he did not encounter someone above him in terms of absolute strength, it should not be a problem for him to rush to the end.
"Let's stop here for today. We will fight again tomorrow for the next two rounds!" Because it was near dusk, the Begonia announced.
Afterwards, the spectators also dispersed.
The victorious Li Yun and another representative, as well as the four representatives from tomorrow's battle, also returned to their own resting rooms.
Bai Yuhao, who had returned to the lounge, took off his clothes and went to Li Yun's resting room to look for him.
"The victory of the previous battle was so beautiful!" Bai Yuhao praised.
"I still have to thank you for this. If it was before, I would definitely not change my move in that situation. However, after being together with you for so long, the result is that I have unknowingly messed up." Li Yun also knew that his previous move was a dangerous move. If he didn't succeed, then it was very likely that his opponent would take advantage of it.
"In the past, this is the kind of clever reaction that you lacked. However, the next opponent that you will encounter, no matter which one, will be difficult to deal with." Bai Yuhao said.
"I'm already mentally prepared." Li Yun nodded.
"I said before that you must fight in the final round before I could help you. Therefore, no matter what, you must do your best to win to the final round." Bai Yuhao reminded him.
"Why is it the last round?" Li Yun was puzzled as well.
"You'll know when the time comes." Bai Yuhao didn't plan to say it now, in case Li Yun would let his imagination run wild.
"Oh." Li Yun didn't pursue the matter.
The two chatted for a while, before Bai Yuhao left.
The next day, these two battles would continue, and the remaining four people, including Hongtian Sect and ghost blade, and Hundred Emperors Pavilion and Su Shi, would not have much luck if the two of them did not meet.
