Chapter 81 The Final Battle

After staring at each other for a moment, Qing Ming withdrew his gaze, forced himself to suppress his inner restlessness, and began to wait quietly for the end of the first round of competition.

A few minutes later, the fourteenth match of the first round ended.

The fourteen winners were randomly assigned again to start the second round of competition.

I don't know if it was luck or Sarutobi Hiruzen intentionally saved the most exciting battle for last.

In short, in this second round of competition, Qingming and Uchiha Shisui still did not meet.

And without any surprise, they easily defeated their opponents.

At this point, anyone with a little bit of vision could see that Qingming and Uchiha Shisui were far stronger than others.

The final first place will only be between the two of them.

Fortunately, the promotion of Chunin is based on the comprehensive performance of the three exams, rather than just the ranking in this competition.

Otherwise, other candidates might be competing passively now.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

An hour and a half later.

The second round of the third match is over.

The seven winners will be divided into groups again, but because it is an odd number, one person will be given a bye.

Qingming had not had much hope for his luck, but he never expected that he would get a bye this time.

However, after learning the news, he was only stunned for a moment and then returned to normal.

The reason why he appeared so calm was naturally because he had enough confidence in his own abilities.

Qingming believed that whether he got a bye this time or not would not affect his advancement.

Therefore, I don’t care much about such results.

However, the other few people looked at Qingming with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Unfortunately, no matter what they think, the exam must go on.

The competition came to the third round. The remaining candidates were all quite strong, so each battle lasted a little longer.

It took nearly an hour in total for all three battles to be over.

Still without any time to rest, the drawing of lots for the fourth round of competition began.

As expected, he and Uchiha Shisui still did not meet, but instead faced a candidate each.

His opponent is a thirteen-year-old boy named Amano Kai, who has excellent close combat ability and is proficient in Thunder Release Ninjutsu. His overall combat power is not weak.

But it’s just not weak.

It’s okay when facing other people, but it’s not good enough when facing Qingming.

Moreover, Qing Ming had already seen the opponent's abilities clearly when he was watching the game.

Now, the competition is just like an open-book exam, it’s so easy.

His excellent melee ability is nothing compared to his level 4 'Konoha-style swordsmanship'.

As for Thunder Escape
There wasn't even a chance to display it.

Finally, Qing Ming took advantage of his distraction and deliberately revealed a flaw, luring Amano Kai to counterattack.

As expected, the opponent was fooled. Qing Ming immediately seized the opportunity and ended the battle with a "Genjutsu·Sharingan".

When Amano Kai came to his senses, the examiner was already standing in front of him, blocking the flying kunai for him, and announcing that Qingming had won.

After finishing this battle which could barely be considered a warm-up, Qing Ming returned to the second-floor corridor, leaned against the railing, and quietly waited for the final decisive battle.

He didn't have to wait long. Just a few minutes later, Uchiha Shisui ended the battle with another candidate.

At this time, the examiner's voice came: "The last match, Uchiha Qingming vs. Uchiha Shisui!"

Hearing this, all the eliminated candidates on the second floor corridor showed excitement. Now everyone knows that Uchiha Qingming and Uchiha Shisui are the strongest in this Chunin Exam, so who will win and who will lose when the two face off?
The examinees wanted to know the answer, and the jonin wanted to know it too.

Therefore, not only the examinees were very excited, but the jonin also showed interest.

As for Uchiha Haruto, he was so excited that his face was filled with joy.

The top spot in the Chunin Exam will be decided between two Uchiha ninjas. Doesn't this just show how powerful the Uchiha are?

Influenced by the surrounding atmosphere, Qing Ming simply didn't go up the stairs. He put his right hand on the railing and flipped out.

After landing, he bent his knees to offset the impact of the high-altitude fall and stood steadily in front of Uchiha Shisui.

The examiner looked around at the two and asked, "Are you ready?"

Qing Ming heard this, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked calmly, "Do you want to take a break?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui was a little surprised, as if he was surprised that Qingming would say such a thing.

Based on his observation of Qingming these days, the other party should not be a person who likes to talk nonsense.

It’s not that Qing Ming is arrogant and lets the other party rest, but this fight is not a life-and-death battle after all, so there is no need to take advantage of the other party’s misfortune.

That's why he asked this question.

Otherwise, if it was a life-and-death fight, he would have wanted to take action immediately.

rest?

That's a dream!
However, Uchiha Shisui did not continue to follow Qingming's words, but shook his head and said, "No need."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the examiner didn't waste any time. He waved his right hand downwards, retreated violently, and shouted, "Begin!"

The next moment, a "ding" sound was heard.

It turned out that the moment the examiner finished speaking, Qingming and Uchiha Shisui drew their daggers at the same time, then rushed forward together, and their daggers collided fiercely.

Qingming held the hilt of the sword with both hands and continued to exert force. Uchiha Shisui also held the sword with both hands and tried his best to resist.

But Qing Ming is two years older after all, and his 'physique' has been improved several times, so he is slightly stronger than Uchiha Shisui in terms of strength.

So, after a brief stalemate, Uchiha Shisui chose to give in.

And this retreat means losing the initiative.

Qing Ming seized the opportunity and used the "Konoha Sword Technique" with all his strength, attacking wave after wave. Uchiha Shisui could only defend passively.

For a while, the sound of "ding-dang-dang" of swords clashing was heard continuously in the field.

Sparks flew out from the collision of the swords, showing how fierce the battle was.

Uchiha Shisui only felt the pressure increasing. He wanted to fight back several times and take the initiative, but was interrupted by Qingming every time.

The opponent seemed to be very familiar with his sword moves, and was able to accurately interrupt his moves every time he made a move, which made him very uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Shisui suddenly realized that the other party was also an Uchiha ninja.

The fact that he could practice Konoha-style swordsmanship to such a high level was enough to show his high talent in swordsmanship.

In addition, since he has already awakened the Sharingan, there is no reason for him not to learn the 'Uchiha style swordsmanship' that goes extremely well with the Sharingan.

Maybe the opponent's proficiency in Uchiha-style swordsmanship is higher than his.

Only in this way can it explain why the opponent could repeatedly and accurately interrupt his attacks.

'Yes, that's definitely the case!'

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed to Uchiha Shisui.

At the same time, he also realized that in close combat, he would most likely not be Qing Ming's opponent.

'We need to change our thinking.'

Uchiha Shisui thought secretly in his heart while constantly blocking the attacks from Qingming.
