In the direct competition at the seventh level of True Qi, Ye Chen didn't use any other means, and yet he still managed to put Qian Shan completely at a disadvantage!
"Martial Skill powerful!"
"Reaction speed extremely good!"
"Even his combat methods are so diverse!"
All the Martial Artists below the stage, including Patriarch Ye and Bai Xiaodie, who had been observing Ye Chen, felt the more they watched Ye Chen's moves, the more endless his techniques seemed.
They had originally thought that Ye Chen would continue to use sword techniques like he did against Bai Xiaolong to deal with Qian Shan, but to their surprise, Ye Chen directly compared weapon control Martial Skills with Qian Shan.
Even in the technique of controlling a multitude of weapons, he was far stronger than Qian Shan, who had always used this Martial Skill!
Qian Shan, who was actually facing Ye Chen, already felt his hands and feet turn ice-cold at this point.
His proudest Martial Skill, the one that had defeated eight vice-arenas, was directly pushed back by a single move from Ye Chen; obviously, if Ye Chen were to use this Martial Skill, he would be even more formidable!
As this thought surfaced in Qian Shan's mind, he even considered admitting defeat directly.
However, gritting his teeth, he clapped his hands together, and the flying needles that were flying back towards him shot towards Ye Chen once again.
This time, the sky full of flying needles stirred up a massive windstorm; all the needles seemed to merge into one, attacking Ye Chen with the intent to shred.
"This is still not the true windstorm shredding!"
Seeing Qian Shan's attack, Ye Chen's eyes flickered as he recalled the fourth style of the "Wind Sword Skills," Wind Shredding, that he had realized just by watching the battles in the vice-arenas.
He hadn't actually used Wind Shredding yet, and right now, the embryonic form of Qian Shan's windstorm needle technique made Ye Chen itch to try it out.
Ye Chen pointed towards the void with his great hand, and the twigs and debris that had fallen on the ground instantly flew up, suddenly forming a vast windstorm in the void.
This great windstorm even enveloped all the flying needles that were coming down from the sky.
Qian Shan's windstorm formed by the flying needles was rolling and moving seven or eight meters across towards Ye Chen to shred him.
But Ye Chen's move was to form a shredding windstorm right on the spot, instantly; the speed at which the windstorm formed was almost instantaneous, as if it was specially designed to wrap around the needle group!
Everyone could see that Ye Chen's tactic to control the shredding windstorm was mightier; it was like a spontaneously born windstorm in the void that could form anywhere!
This was precisely the powerful move of the "Wind Sword Skills," the inferior Xuan-level technique Wind Shredding, which Ye Chen had just comprehended.
Wind Shredding could form a windstorm anywhere, any place; where True Qi moves, a windstorm forms!
And what was even more terrifying was the power of Wind Shredding.
When Ye Chen controlled the twigs and debris to form a windstorm and completely wrapped Qian Shan's flying needles, Ye Chen clenched his great hand and the entire debris windstorm began to spin crazily.
On each piece of debris, the essence of wind surged, each piece had its own direction of rotation.
All the debris joined together, and the rotation in different directions directly created a fearsome shredding force.
At the end, the terrible debris windstorm suddenly contracted in the center, like the eye of a storm tightening, and a horrifying blasting sound immediately emerged from the center of the debris windstorm.
As this sound was emitted, Ye Chen withdrew all the True Qi that was controlling the Wind Sword Skills, the twigs and debris fell and scattered on the ground again, and everyone shockingly discovered that the flying needles, which were previously whirling wildly, had all vanished.
This shredding force had completely broken all the flying needles engulfed in the windstorm into dust!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Frightened by the terrifying killing power of the Xuan-level Martial Skill that Ye Chen had eagerly controlled, Qian Shan stumbled back several steps and fell onto the main arena.
He was not upset that the flying needles were destroyed; he practiced the flying needle martial skill and had over a dozen sets of flying needles.
What shocked him was that all these flying needles, made of mysterious iron and extremely sturdy, were actually ground to dust by Ye Chen's move. The power of Ye Chen's killing move had exceeded his imagination, it had surpassed his understanding!
He had seen many martial skills and even observed several high-grade yellow-tier martial skills, but he had never seen any martial skill with such immense power!
"Mysterious martial skill!"
"It's a Mysterious martial skill!"
In the second battle zone, Bai Xiaodie, upon seeing the storm that Ye Chen generated from nothing and the terrifying force of annihilation, cried out in shock.
Her distraction made the young man fighting against her quite speechless.
The young man had long noticed that Bai Xiaodie was simultaneously fighting him and observing Ye Chen's battle, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't beat Bai Xiaodie.
When he heard Bai Xiaodie's exclamation, the young man serving as the deputy in the second battle zone also looked towards the main platform where Ye Chen was, and seeing Qian Shan collapse to the ground, he too was startled.
He knew Qian Shan and had never seen Qian Shan looking so terrified before!
"Mysterious martial skill!"
"It really is a set of Mysterious martial skills!"
"Ye Chen's methods are revealing more and more, I never expected he had even successfully cultivated a Mysterious martial skill!"
Patriarch Ye at this moment was also filled with great surprise and joy.
If he knew that this was merely a minor move among Ye Chen's nine great moves of his Mysterious martial skills, and that Ye Chen had control over moves far stronger than this, his surprise would have been a hundred times greater!
Bai Xiaodie's cry of alarm caused the spectators below to be startled as well.
Many of them were martial artists, but almost none had access to Mysterious martial skills. In the three great families, only the three Patriarchs had cultivated several sets of Mysterious martial skills, which shows how precious Mysterious martial skills are.
When they heard that what Ye Chen had used was a Mysterious martial skill, the area was swept by gasps of astonishment and a flurry of amazed discussions.
"Mysterious Extreme martial skills?"
"So, I lost to a Mysterious martial skill."
"Ye Chen, he's actually cultivated a Mysterious martial skill!"
Qian Shan, who had collapsed on the main platform, also heard Bai Xiaodie's cry of alarm, and his stunned and shocked mind gradually regained some clarity.
He finally knew where he had lost.
Qian Shan stood up and walked up to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you are too powerful!"
"Losing to you, I am thoroughly convinced, by mouth and by heart!"
"You are, without a doubt, the strongest in our first battle zone, the number one!"
After Qian Shan had spoken, he gave Ye Chen a respectful bow and flew down from the main platform.
Having witnessed a set of Mysterious martial skills in his exchange with Ye Chen, it was worth it for him!
And with Bai Xiaolong and Qian Shan's successive admissions of defeat, all of the second-round matches in the first battle zone officially ended.
Ye Chen, winning two consecutive battles and claiming the top rank in the first battle zone, directly entered into the top ten of the tri-family tournament.
He smoothly passed the "Top Ten Selection Battle" and officially entered into the "Top Ten Ranking Battle"!
Now, all that awaited was the start of the third round, the final "Top Ten Ranking Battle"!
