Chapter 283 - 268: Great Success Strength (3)

The revolving wheel swayed slightly as it stopped on one name.

Upon seeing that name, Qiu Yan’s heart relaxed immediately!

At this moment, Qin Shuban’s voice sounded. "First round, third match! Qiu Tong! Duan Rong!"

A year ago, Qiu Yan had already obtained the registration list for this year’s Talent Selection Conference!

He had meticulously studied each person!

Duan Rong, born into poverty, had shown exceptional talent and made a name for himself at Yuan Shun Escort Agency. Later, having saved Ruan Fengshan’s son, Ruan Jing, Ruan Fengshan registered him for this year’s Talent Selection Conference.

He knew Duan Rong was also at the Third Level of Inner Breath Realm, having only recently reached this stage.

On the other hand, Qiu Tong had been at the Third Level of Inner Breath Realm for nearly two years; the strength difference was clear!

"Seems Qiu Tong has good luck after all! Although his participation in this year’s Talent Selection Conference is somewhat forced, it’s not without opportunity. Isn’t this first round a good start?"

Duan Rong had already drawn his sword, leaping onto the Plum Blossom Stakes. His countenance was calm as he looked at Qiu Tong, devoid of any expression.

With Qin Shuban’s start signal, Qiu Tong stepped on the stake edge, leaping, his toes swiftly pointing as he rushed towards Duan Rong.

Duan Rong stood still, waiting for Qiu Tong to approach, then suddenly drew his blade.

Duan Rong’s blade flashed like lightning, knocking Qiu Tong’s weapon into the air with one slice, then hit him with the blade’s back, sending Qiu Tong flying...

Qiu Tong flew horizontally, landing below the Zhexing Platform! His blade also fell with a crash not far behind him...

"What?!" Qiu Yan shot up from the audience seats, his face astonished.

"Great Success Realm!" Someone exclaimed at the front of the Zhexing Platform.

These people were all from notable families and naturally had investigated their simultaneous opponents in advance.

Outwardly, Duan Rong was supposedly at the Minor Success Realm of the Third Level of Inner Breath Realm!

However, his demonstration on the Plum Blossom Stakes displayed the strength of the Great Success Realm!

Because he had easily sent Qiu Tong, who was at the Third Level of Inner Breath Realm, flying; only reaching Great Success Realm could achieve this!

Many looked at Duan Rong with discomfort.

Having one more in Great Success Realm meant one less spot available, indicating an even fiercer battle ahead!

Standing below, Tao Rong watched Duan Rong’s side silhouette on the Plum Blossom Stakes, his pupils suddenly contracting. He was determined to win three consecutive matches, initially thinking there was only Ximen Kankan to deal with, but now it was one more!

Xiao Zongting and Xiao Yu’s expressions remained unchanged. For Duan Rong had already decided to showcase Great Success Realm strength from the outset, having told Xiao Zongting and Xiao Yu of his achievement prior to the Talent Selection Conference.

Xiao Zongting was naturally quite surprised! Since reaching Great Success Realm wasn’t as easy as the previous three levels, it was considered a significant hurdle in the Inner Breath Realm.

However, in retrospect, Duan Rong’s accomplishment of Minor Success Realm had been over half a year ago.

Considering Duan Rong’s exceptional talent and his relentless drive in training fiercely, breaking through the Great Success Realm barrier was quite conceivable!

Qiu Tong stood up, dejected, with a hint of melancholy on his pale face.

Once he stood up, he saw his father looking at him from the audience seats.

Qiu Tong noticed the concern in his father’s gaze, further feeling ashamed.

Yet the crowd below remained unusually quiet.

The change was sudden, as Duan Rong’s blade flashed, sending Qiu Tong flying, unlike the previous two matches where there was a back-and-forth.

The spectators hadn’t clearly seen what happened.

Only Zhu Xiaoqi stood there, eyes flickering, staring at Duan Rong’s dark silhouette, murmuring, "Has this simple guy become so formidable now?"

At this moment, Qin Shuban’s voice echoed.

"First round, third match, Duan Rong wins!"
