Chapter 417: I Choose Li Zhengyi

"Alright, I'll head over then," Chu Feng said with a nod.

It was already late at night, but many people were still on the Big Snow Plateau watching the matches, all of them thrilled.

Occasionally, trouble would break out. Some people would get into fights, while others deliberately stirred things up.

But they were always swiftly suppressed. Anyone trying to cause a disturbance here was purely asking for trouble.

"So you finally decide to show up? Chu Feng, you're late," Venerable Xue Feng said at that moment, their face etched with displeasure.

"It was just ten minutes. What are you yapping about? You need to take a piss? If you're in such a hurry, then get going," Chu Feng said impatiently.

At this, the Seven Kills Sword Master said to Chu Feng, "Watch yourself."

Chu Feng ignored him and simply sat down in his seat.

By now, the temperature had dropped. A biting wind swept across the plateau, sending a chill through the crowd.

The wind was HOWLING, like the wails of ghosts and wolves, frightening the more timid spectators.

Of the forty Cultivators, many had already advanced to the top twenty. After such a long competition, the tournament had finally reached its final stage.

These final twenty contestants would now face off in a round-robin. Each person had to fight all the others, meaning a total of nineteen matches per person.

A victory earned one point. Whoever managed to win all their matches would be crowned the champion.

During the round of twenty, Bai Xue had been the first to fight, but she was also the first to lose.

"Anyone else want to make a few bets with me? If you've got the guts, that is. Right now, I've lost everything down to my underwear," Chu Feng said with a laugh.

Just then, the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley spoke up. "Chu Feng, do you have the nerve to make another bet with me?"

"Oh? You want to bet with us? Bring it on. What's the wager?" Chu Feng asked, curious.

"Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones. You have over a hundred Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones on you right now. I won't go too crazy, let's just bet another hundred. How about it? Do you dare?" said the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley.

"Well now, Spirit Sword Valley must be loaded. You can just pull out another hundred Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones like that? Since you want to bet, I'm happy to oblige. But what are the terms? Who are we betting on?" Chu Feng said with a grin, clearly delighted.

'Since these people are so determined to hand me Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones, how could I possibly refuse?'

"This time, we won't be betting on your Celestial Sword Sect's Bai Xue. We'll randomly select a contestant, and then place our wagers. How does that sound?" said the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley.

"No problem. You're older, so you can pick," Chu Feng said.

"Kid, I have to say, the Celestial Sword Sect really stepped in dogshit to get a monster like you. But you're guaranteed to lose this bet. I choose Black Blade of Blood Blade Manor!" said the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley.

The woman was a crafty old fox. The Black Blade of Blood Blade Manor she had chosen was even stronger than the previous two contestants, his power terrifying.

Chu Feng deliberately scanned the arena as if searching for someone, but in reality, he already knew exactly who to pick.

Finally, with a hint of hesitation, his gaze landed on Li Zhengyi. "In that case... I'll choose Li Zhengyi of the Cloud Mist Sect."

Although the Cloud Mist Sect was a Martial Arts Sect, it was largely reclusive and rarely made public appearances.

Consequently, few people knew of it. Only top-tier experts, those on the level of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, had even heard the name.

So when Chu Feng announced his choice of someone from the Cloud Mist Sect, many people were completely dumbfounded. They had no idea about the sect's origins or background.

This led to many people quietly asking one another about the Cloud Mist Sect's history.

"You're choosing him? Are you sure? You can't go back on this," the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley asked.

"Yes, I'm choosing him. You got a problem with that?" Chu Feng replied.

"Hahaha, you're really something else, picking a disciple from a sect no one's ever heard of. Still, it's truly not easy for a small sect like that to produce such an outstanding disciple," said the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley.

Of course, in her eyes, Li Zhengyi was merely "outstanding," not yet at the level of a monstrous freak. Thus, she wasn't worried in the slightest.

Because none of them knew Li Zhengyi's true strength. If it weren't for the power of Chu Feng's own Divine Soul, he wouldn't have been able to sense it either.

But now Chu Feng had discovered him. Li Zhengyi was like a hidden trump card, an absolute dark horse who could stun the crowd into shocked disbelief.

The guy's talent could be described as incredibly strong, even approaching the level of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor. From a certain perspective, he might even be stronger!

Hearing the words of the Spirit Sword Valley's Vice Valley Master, Chu Feng couldn't help but shake his head and sneer inwardly.

'Spirit Sword Valley is doomed to decline. They don't even know about the Cloud Mist Sect.'

'But this works out for me. I've got this win in the bag. That's another hundred Martial Cultivation Spirit Stones coming my way.'

"Fine. You've chosen him, and you can't take it back. Seven Kills Sword Master, you will be our witness," said the Vice Valley Master of Spirit Sword Valley.

At this, the Seven Kills Sword Master's expression darkened slightly. 'Why does everyone keep asking me to be the witness?'
