BAIHU (White Tiger Warrior): Challenging the Dragon
CHAPTER 35 | Strength defending champion Gong Jun

The second round match was started between the disciples of the King's Tomb sect against the defending champion of the Sky Sword sect. Previously confident of winning this match, the disciples of the Heaven Sword sect chose to meditate in the waiting room instead of looking at the match.

The first match was a disciple named Gao Tian from the Sky Sword sect against the second disciple from the King Tomb sect. Gao Tian had cultivation strength in the early stage Holy realms, yet he had mastered 5 of the 8 Sukmas of the Heaven Sword Sect.

“This child has just participated in this match. His strength was definitely not much different from Gong Jun” muttered the second disciple of the King's Tomb sect.

The second disciple of the King Tomb who possessed the strength of the intermediate stage Holy Realm did not underestimate his opponent. He knew the power of the Sword Sukma from the Heaven Sword sect. He instantly took out the 4th skill of Awakening the Million Kings from the King Tomb sect.

Sure enough, the power of the Sukma Sword skill was extremely formidable, even though the opponent's cultivation strength was above it. Gao Tian was not easy to defeat. That is why the Sukma Swordsmanship is recognized as the strongest skill at the moment by fighters all over the central land. In 9 moves, Gao Tian managed to defeat the second disciple of the King's Tomb sect.

“Sukma Sword Style is indeed extraordinary” muttered Ice Moon sect head Ying Hua.

The third disciple from the King Tomb sect immediately replaced the entrance to the arena against Gao Tian. The cultivation strength of the third disciple was at the late stage Holy Realm and mastered the 5th of the 6 Awakening Million Kings.

The face of this third disciple looked calm facing Gao Tian, he did not care about the surrounding people at all.

After the cue started, he immediately charged ferociously towards Gao Tian, the attack making Gao Tian's eyes widen in surprise as he did not expect the 5th Rise of a Million King to be so fierce.

In just 2 moves, Gao Tian lost a landslide. The difference in cultivation strength and skill strength was very noticeable in this fight. All the watching eyes clucked in awe at the 5th power of the Awakening of the Million Kings sect Tomb King.

“Newly this time I saw for myself the 5th strength of the King's Tomb sect which is this strong” murmured elder Wang Mei who was watching the match.

“True, this means their 6th peak strength is much more powerful than this” said another elder next to Wang Mei.

Only the sect head of Shang Chi looked ordinary by it. He had once seen his Master fight all the top moves of every sect and won a match from them using the 9th moves of Sun and Moon when he was a kid about 60 years ago.

“The strength of the 9th Sun and Moon is far more terrifying than all the current sect moves. It's just that not many know it” sect head Shang Chi muttered in his heart

Shang Chi's sect head was indeed much older than the other great sect heads at the moment. And he since he was 9 years old had been invited by his teacher to go around challenging the fighters from the big sects to make friendly matches with him.

Returning to the arena, this time Yang Zi descended in place of Gao Tian to fight the third disciple of the King Tomb sect. Baihu looked a little anxious looking at the match. Because Yang Zi's strength was not much different from Gao Tian's. It was just that Yang Zi mastered the 6 moves of the Sword Sukma.

“Uh, the strength of our stance balanced inner” Yang Zi while dodging the attacks of the third disciple of the King's Tomb sect.

The power of the 6th Sword Sukma is indeed extraordinary, and balanced with the power of the 5th skill Awaken a Million Kings. But the cultivation strength of Yang Zi who was at the intermediate stage Holy realm lost to the third disciple of the King Tomb sect who had been at the peak of the Sacred realm. Thus Yang Zi suffered a thin defeat from the third disciple of the King Tomb sect.

“Now only hope remains on Gong Jun” growled Master Wang Lei.

Gong Jun who won the match 3 years ago was a talented disciple of the Heaven Sword sect. He had mastered up to the 7th Sukma Sword at the age of 18 years.

He directly charged towards the third disciple with a 6th Sukma Sword stance like Yang Zi, but used a cultivation strength balanced with the third disciple at the peak stage of the Sacred Realm.

“I want to prove our stance is much stronger than you guys on the same cultivation strength” Gong Jun said to the third disciple of the King's Tomb sect.

The eyes of the third disciple of the King's Tomb were wide-eyed at the fierce attack of the 6th Sword Sukma deployed by Gong Jun. His strength was much different from the 6th stance deployed by Yang Zi earlier.

The third disciple of the King's Tomb sect was trying to fend off Gong Jun's attack with the 5th skill of Awakening a Million Kings, but Gong Jun's Sword Sukma shattered the shadow of the million kings displayed by the third disciple of the King's Tomb sect and knocked himself back while spewing fresh blood from his mulit.

He held onto his chest that looked aching by Gong Jun's attack.

“The strength of this man is incredible. Only the peak style can fight him.” murmured the third disciple of the King's Tomb sect.

The third disciple felt that his strength was already on the verge of the limit, so he immediately admitted defeat to Gong Jun who was indeed extraordinary. In just 1 strike, Gong Jun managed to make his opponent give up.

The cheers of the disciples from the Heaven Sword sect sounded. The face of sect head Xu Xuan also seemed pleased that so did Master Wang Lei. With the strength of Gong Jun will definitely manage to win this match back they thought.

“Sekte Swords of Heaven managed to advance to the final round of 3 big” shouted the match committee.

As expected of everyone present, the strength of Gong Jun the current defending champion must have increased from 3 years ago. And the possibility of winning this inter-sect martial arts match would remain in their hands.

Only the sect head of Shang Chi still seemed calm hearing the conversation of the elders and sect heads around him.

“Chairman, can Baihu defeat Gong Jun?” whispered Wang Mei to the sect leader.

“Chairman Wang, are you not sure of him?” asked the sect head of Shang Chi who asked Wang Mei back.

Wang Mei's face was stunned hearing the question from the sect head of Shang Chi. He did not know because he saw the strength of Gong Jun who had just seen him.

“Let alone, this Gong Jun hid his cultivation strength, as well as Baihu. The match will definitely be interesting later.” said sect head Shang Chi.
