Chapter 172: Matching or Not

ort of claiming first place and representing the nation.Ji Zhao-nan was naturally gifted, but this time Jing Guo's confidence was too strong, their momentum too overwhelming...After all, it was the lo...In the end, Floating World's plan falls apart. Will Lei Zhanyan be satisfied

With Lei Zhanqian's strength, could he sense that sword strike was irreplaceable

Although Jiang Wang personally eliminated Lei Zhanyuan, he still gave enough respect to Lei Zhanyuan's combat strength.

He deliberately waited for others to leave first, in order to let them distract Lei Zhanyan's attention. At the same time, it also gave Lei Zhanyan some "calm" time, avoiding him from making too emotional moves.

Of course, Li Fengyao saw through it. And she was quite impressed by Jiang Wang's ingenuity. That's why she purposely stopped to chat with Jiang Wang for a few words. She wasn't someone who enjoyed idle chatter.

Jiang Wu Xie didn't know if he was truly ignorant or feigning ignorance, or perhaps he simply wanted to disrupt the conversation between Jiang Wang and Li Feng Yao. Either way, he was rather annoying.

When everyone else had truly left this starry place, Jiang Wang grasped his sword and walked toward the star gate.

>

Li Fengyao moved in a very tacit understanding, and Jiang WuXie hurriedly followed.

Those who leave the Qixing Lou Secret Realm first will be ranked as far behind as possible. For example, if there were still forty people fighting in the Qixing Lou Secret Realm at that time, then the person who left the Qixing Lou Secret Realm first would be ranked 41st. Even after that, many people couldn't even make it back to Qixing Valley alive.

As for the Tianchu world ending, the Seven Stars world has already been completely closed. The rankings have already been released, so it doesn't matter who goes first or last.

One step out of the star gate, and one finds oneself in the Qixing Valley.

It seems nothing has changed here since I left.

The night was still deep, with the Big Dipper shining brightly in the sky.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Everyone held their breath, for they all knew that the young man who appeared in the Tiankui Star position was the first of the Qi Xing Lou Secret Realm this time.

Overwhelming Lei Zhanyan, Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuxie, Fang Chong and other powerful figures, he stood at the top.

Compared to the obscurity before entering the Qixing Tower Secret Realm, Jiang Wang at this moment could be described as the center of attention.

His achievements forced everyone to reconsider him.

If his success in the Tianfu Secret Realm had first caught the eyes of the people of Qi, then his victory on the Yangdi Battlefield, where he cut down generals and seized flags, made him stand out. Then this first place in the Qixinglou Secret Realm was enough to make him one of the most watched-over powerful figures among the younger generation in Qi.

Because his first place this time was achieved in competition with figures like Lei Zhanyan, Li Fengyao, Jiang WuXie, and Fang Chong. How formidable Lei Zhanyan is, how strong Li Fengyao and Jiang WuXie are, the weight of this first place is all the more significant.

Jiang Wang even noticed Tian Chang's eyes, that look of vigilance and solemnity flashed away, instantly transforming into full admiration.

Perhaps when he returned to Qixing Valley, but found that Jiang Wang had not returned, he also hoped that Jiang Wang had died in the Qixing world, so his handle would be known by no one.

However, Jiang Wang unexpectedly went to the Tianshu world to compete and even won the first place in the Qixinglou secret realm!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He had countless more ideas, but he could only suppress them.

Tian He stood behind Tian Chang, not far away. His expression was wooden, and his surprise at Jiang Wang's first place victory was also superficial. To anyone looking on, this was clearly an honest person who wasn't good with words or performance.

Jiāng Wàng and he didn't even exchange a glance.

Because Tian Chang is a smart person.

Amidst a sea of astonished and awed gazes, one person stood out from the crowd, striding confidently forward.

Jiang Wang instantly retracted his gaze, the step he was about to take also came to a halt. His hand, however, remained on his sword, never relaxing.

Lei Zhanyuan walked out from the crowd and stood before Jiang Wang, glancing at his sword-holding hand and shaking his head. "I didn't expect that Chongxuan would have such a powerful hidden weapon in the Qixing world, and would even give it to you."

At that moment, Fang Chong's eyes changed.

In the eyes of those who experienced that moment firsthand, Lei Zhanqian's words clearly indicated that Jiang Wang's sword strike wasn't a reflection of his own strength. According to Lei Zhanqian's deduction, it was likely due to Chongxuan's faction leading the exploration in Qixinglou's secret realm, just like how he had managed to enter the Tianchu world half a step ahead of others.

Jiang Wang didn't intend to correct his "misunderstanding," only saying, "So"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Lei Zhanyuan hadn't expected that even at this moment, after leaving the Floating Ruins world and losing the support of his swordsmanship, this person would still be so arrogant.

As the biggest hot topic winner of this Qi Xing Lou Secret Realm, when he came out representing the 13th star ranking, the entire Qi Xing Valley was astonished, with various complex gazes.

He himself was also completely unbelievable.

He was overwhelming three opponents, intending to subdue all challengers with his brute force and secure an undisputed first place. In the end, however, he was defeated by Jiang Wang who appeared halfway through the competition with a single sword strike.

If not for his use of the Lei family's "exploration findings" about the Qixing Lou secret realm to escape the floating world, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Yes, it's "escape". Such a shameful word.

Back at Qixing Valley, he didn't say anything, but in his heart, he had replayed that sword countless times. Finally, he concluded that that sword could not have appeared in the Tenglong Realm under any circumstances.

Although in the world of cultivation, there is no limit to be said forever. Generation after generation of progress will eventually push the limits of each realm forward. But there's a process to it!

Wang Yiwu pushed the limits of the Heavenly Realm to a new height, his name etched into the history of the cultivation world as a world-renowned prodigy. As for Jiang Wang's sword strike, if it truly was within the realm of normal combat power, then he had essentially achieved an extreme leap beyond limits. How is this possible

Either Jiang Wang had long surpassed the Tenglong Realm and was simply concealing his cultivation. Or, his sword strike relied on external force.

Given that he entered the life-and-death chess game at the latest, it is not difficult to infer that he was preparing for something.

To lose on such a meticulously planned, long-prepared, and difficult-to-replicate strike... it seems almost easier to accept compared to other defeats.

But the problem is, other people don't know that.

Those who don't know him might think he gained his fame by sheer luck.

He intended to single-handedly defeat Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuxie, and Fang Chong's alliance, eliminating the three strongest opponents directly and propelling his own fame. He was indeed capable of doing so. However, unexpectedly, he became a stepping stone, using his own reputation to elevate Jiang Wang's renown.

Reputation is extremely important! Especially for someone like him, the heir to such a prominent family. The stakes involved are not just about himself alone.

Now, to salvage his reputation, the only thing he could do was defeat Jiang Wang in public. He had to use brute force and real skill to prove himself. Prove that his failure in the Floating Continent world was simply because the other side had outsmarted him - this way, even though Jiang Wang could still rise to power by stepping on his reputation, he wouldn't be humiliated too badly.

Therefore, Lei Zhanqian deliberately waited in Qixing Valley and refused to leave. He awaited Jiang Wang's return before revealing himself. This was to "explain" the truth behind his "mistake" to the audience, provoke conflict, and thus salvage his reputation.

He did come out speaking with the intent to provoke... but right now he hasn't even started to provoke, and this kid is already so aloof and arrogant, what's going on

All those underhanded tactics!

Lei Zhanyan only felt amused.

You can win, but only by cheating.

He looked at Jiang Wang, shaking his head with a sneer: "Do you really think you deserve to win the championship"

Jiang Wang certainly understood Lei Zhanyan's thoughts. Choosing to return to Qixinggu after others was a kind of precaution.

However, he didn't appear at the Tiānkuíxīng position right away, giving Lé Zhānyu enough time to calm down.

Yet Lei Zhanyan still made such a choice.

Since you're going to be provoked no matter what, there's no need to put on a good face.

Those who truly want to slap you won't hit you any lighter just because you turn your cheek.

So, facing Lei Zhanyan, he put on an air of arrogance.

"Do I deserve it I've already won." Jiang Wang looked back at Lei Zhanqian indifferently, "What about you, Lei Run first"
