Crack!

The metal orbs were clenched out of shape. Guan Tong gave out a grunt accompanied with killing intent.

He implored repeatedly to Li Fuchen, but didn't expected him to turn a deaf ear.

”Guan Peng lost?”

Guan Yue and Guan Tian have yet to regain consciousness as they could never have antic.i.p.ated Guan Peng losing the match to becoming one of the top 20.

”Wretched little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you actually ruined my son's future, I'll make you pay.”

Guan Tian face twisted and gnashed his teeth in anger.

Guan Yue furrowed his brow. He initially thought of nothing about Li Fuchen, but now it was nothing but hate.

On the podium, Guan Hong and Guan Yan looked like they just ate a fly and appeared extremely uncomfortable. Before the contest, they didn't even bother with Li Fuchen and presumed that with their guidance, Guan Peng could totally advance to the top 3. But now he didn't even achieve top 20.

On the contrary, Li Tianhan and Shen Yuyan were thrilled. Li Tianhan's face was filled with euphoria and the previous pent up stress caused by Li Hongkai was relieved. At the same time, Shen Yuyan seems to as though to be glowing, and became youthful again.

”The Guan Clan's people really are shameless.” After sending Guan Peng off the stage, Li Fuchen stared at the elder, seated beside Guan Yue.

This elder was precisely Guan Tong, the Guan Clan's only Earth Stage pract.i.tioner, who was at the second level.

Earth Stage experts were remarkably powerful. It doesn't mean if one has 2 star bone frame, he/she could become a Earth Stage expert, it just means a higher probability.

But Earth Stage pract.i.tioners not only have great combat skills, they also possessed special skills and sending concealed messages was one of those skills. The ability to send a concealed message through s.p.a.ce right into the target's ear. With a high cultivation level, the distance can be extended further.

As the spectators cheered on, Li Fuchen stepped off the stage.

***

After 20 matches, the top 20 were crowned.

The Yang Clan is left with 4 contestants. The Shen Tu Clan with 3, the Guan Clan with 2, and Li Clan still with 2. A total of 11 from the major clans, with the rest from the minor clans, and among them there were 4 that were outstanding. They are the North's ace, He Ping. South's demon, Si Fei. East's beauty, Zhu Hongxiu and West's best, Sun Di.

For the rest of the contest, it would be a ranking tourney.

Compared to the previous elimination matches, it is much more fair as there will not be an elimination right after losing 1 match.

But a c.u.mulative loss of 5 matches, will result in elimination. In the end, this genius contest is to decide the top 5, who will enter Cang Lan Sect, the 6th to 20th place,isn't as important.

In the first round, Li Fuchen met the West's best, Sun Di.

Sun Di did have strong combat skills, but only when compared to average individuals. In the eyes of Li Fuchen, he is around the same level as Yang Qi, thus he didn't expend much effort to win the first match.

In the second round, Li Fuchen easily won against the Shen Tu Clan's third strongest contestant Shen Tu Hai.

In the third round, Li Fuchen went up against the South's ruthless genius, Si Fei.

”You have good skills, but the one to win will still be me.”

Si Fei's quick swords had a way with people. Until now, he has yet to be defeated too and is riding the momentum.

”I'm afraid, it will not be like what you wish.”

Li Fuchen knew Si Fei's sword was fast and vicious. He has ample combat experience too. But in this world, not only are your experience and skills important, talent for combat was a factor too.

”Arrogance comes with a price and I will be the one to make you pay for it.” Si Fei smirked as he wielded the Si Clan's 36 Stance Quick Swordplay, attacking Li Fuchen.

Si Fei's sword was too quick, one move after another, one blade after the next. Each attack was aimed at Li Fuchen's fatal spot. If it were anyone else, they would have fallen in a few moves.

But Li Fuchen wasn't just anyone. Up till this point, Li Fuchen had yet to make an all out effort, at least not exposing his sixth level Red Jade Technique yet.
