The third round of the ranking battle in the Hidden Dragon Assembly has now reached its conclusion, with the top ten finally emerging.

Wang Ruoxie temporarily ranks tenth with a record of eighty consecutive wins.

Tang Miaoyin stopped at the top twenty with a record of sixty-three wins and seventeen losses.

Zong Yuzhe temporarily ranks ninth with a record of eighty-one consecutive wins.

Xiao Ningyue temporarily ranks fifth with a record of eighty-five consecutive wins.

Qin Heng temporarily ranks fourth with a record of eighty-seven consecutive wins.

Qiu Yao temporarily ranks third with a record of eighty-eight consecutive wins.

Ruan Junhao temporarily ranks second with a record of eighty-nine consecutive wins.

Nalan Ke from the Beast Taming Sect temporarily ranks sixth with a record of eighty-four consecutive wins.

Duanmu Yun from the Cloud Heaven Sect temporarily ranks seventh with a record of eighty-three consecutive wins.

Wu Chengde from the Thunder Sound Valley temporarily ranks eighth with a record of eighty-two consecutive wins.

As for the person temporarily in first place, naturally, it is the Second Prince, Tang Liren, with ninety consecutive wins.

No matter the final rankings, these ten people will all be listed in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List; even if it's just the tenth place, it remains a great honor.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Second Prince's victory in this Hidden Dragon Assembly is beyond doubt."

Elder Zhou said with a smile towards Tang Xuanyi.

"Although Liren's aptitude is not the best among his brothers, his dedication to martial arts is unmatched, and his heart for martial arts is the most resilient. To prepare for this Hidden Dragon Assembly, he traveled to other countries for several months, seemingly encountering life-and-death crises."

Tang Xuanyi nodded lightly with a smile and said, "With his current Ninth Layer Cultivation of the Element Transformation Realm, his strength is enough to rival a Half-Step Innate, winning first place this time shouldn't be an issue."

The people below the battle platform were also discussing and speculating about the final rankings of the top ten.

"There's no doubt the Second Prince will be first. As for the second and third places, it should be between Xiao Ningyue and Ruan Junhao."

"Qin Heng and Qiu Yao are unlikely to make it into the top three, at most competing for fourth and fifth places."

"For this Hidden Dragon Assembly, it's impressive that the Celestial Sword Sect has three people in the top ten, worthy of being the leader among the Nine Great Sects."

"Had the two elite disciples of the Beast Taming Sect not been defeated by Wang Ruoxie, the Beast Taming Sect might have achieved the same."

"Do you think Wang Ruoxie has a chance to compete for the top three, or even the first place?"

"If his Cultivation could break through to the Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, maybe there'd be some hope. Otherwise, there's absolutely no chance."

...

Although Wang Ruoxie consecutively defeated Zhang Chong, Yang Honglie, and Hu Zhe, especially Hu Zhe, whose final outburst nearly reached the Half-Step Innate level, people still didn't believe he could enter the top three or even seize first place.

After all, the gap in Cultivation was too vast. Not to mention Tang Liren, whose Ninth Layer Cultivation and Half-Step Innate strength are formidable, even Xiao Ningyue and Ruan Junhao with Eighth Layer Cultivation would be hard for him to contend against.

"The rules of the top ten ranking battles will change slightly, starting from the last place, pairs will face off, with the winner advancing and the loser's rank dropping by one position."

At this time, Nie Cang's voice echoed slowly.

"Wang Ruoxie, you and I will battle."

Zong Yuzhe coldly called out to Wang Ruoxie, then with a slight tremor of his body, he landed on the battle platform.

Wang Ruoxie didn't hesitate either, lifting his foot to step onto the battle platform.

With one being tenth and the other ninth, it was natural for them to commence the first battle of the top ten competition.

"Another battle between two Celestial Sword Sect members, I wonder if they'll end up like before, with internal strife."

Many displayed interest, seemingly waiting for a spectacle.

"Wang Ruoxie, Zong Yuzhe, hold back, never land lethal blows, or upon returning to the Sect, the Sect Leader will not spare you."

Zhou Wenzhi urgently called out to Wang Ruoxie and Zong Yuzhe, worried they might once again turn on each other.

Hearing Zhou Wenzhi, both Wang Ruoxie and Zong Yuzhe nodded slightly.

"Wang Ruoxie, I didn't expect that within our Celestial Sword Sect, there would be a genius like you. Although your bloodline is indeed ordinary, your Martial Arts Talent is unparalleled in this generation, yet I still need to prove that I, Zong Yuzhe, am the number one genius of Celestial Sword Sect."

With his gaze fixed on Wang Ruoxie, Zong Yuzhe spoke.

"We'll see."

Wang Ruoxie replied with a slight smile.

Towards Zong Yuzhe, he felt neither aversion nor affection.

However, Zong Yuzhe's aptitude is indeed extraordinary, possessing an eleven and a half star Martial Arts Talent and Earth Level Seventh Grade bloodline, perhaps unmatched within the entire East Victory Kingdom.

Moreover, Zong Yuzhe's recent battle saw him elevate his Cultivation to the Seventh Layer of Element Transformation Realm, his strength enough to rival the Ninth Layer, possibly even stronger, entering the top ten is rather normal.

"With the same Cultivation, I will not lose."

Zong Yuzhe said arrogantly.

Everyone who heard it nodded internally, not finding Zong Yuzhe too arrogant, for with his aptitude and revealed strength, claiming to be invincible at the same level is not an exaggeration.

"Only battle will reveal the truth."

Wang Ruoxie maintained his calm smile as he replied.

"If that's the case, then let's battle."

Zong Yuzhe nodded and immediately rushed out, his longsword slashing directly at Wang Ruoxie.

Instantly, sharp Sword Qi emanated fiercely, sweeping towards Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie's longsword cut through the air, emitting Sword Qi like a streaming beam, accompanied by dazzling sword light, meeting the incoming Sword Qi.

"Boom..."

With a series of loud roars, two streams of Sword Qi collided violently, sword energy erupting in all directions, even the solid battle platform bore prominent Sword Marks.

"Clang..."

The next moment, amidst a metallic clang, their longswords met fiercely.

In just a few breaths, their longswords clashed dozens of times, the explosive Sword Qi enveloping the entire battle platform, even those close to the platform felt the sharp Sword Qi sting their skin.

"Both are formidable, and it seems their swordsmanship levels are comparable. This battle will undoubtedly be exciting."

The audience watched in amazement, their hearts stirred by the duel on the platform.

"Clang!"

Again, an intense clash ensued, scattering sword light as their longswords crossed.

Wang Ruoxie stood steadfast like a mountain, and with a slight vibration from his arm, a terrifying force erupted through his longsword, forcing Zong Yuzhe back several steps.

Witnessing this, the crowd erupted in cheers, celebrating Wang Ruoxie.

Clearly, in this clash, Wang Ruoxie emerged victorious.

"It's just brute strength."

Zong Yuzhe showed disdain but also a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Though in battles between strong Martial Cultivators, brute force rarely decides the outcome, if one's physical strength is overwhelming, it can indeed overcome everything.

"Brute strength?"

Wang Ruoxie chuckled calmly, but chose not to argue further.

For in true strength, verbal disputes seem futile.
