Chapter 381 (1/2)

The Listed Compet.i.tion was held at the center of the outer inst.i.tute and there was a gigantic contest stage.

Early in the morning, the contest stage had an unprecedented clamor. Over a thousand outer inst.i.tute cadets were already in their seats. The outer inst.i.tute mentors, elders, and the a.s.sistant Dean were also in their seats.

The annual Listed Compet.i.tion was the liveliest time for the outer inst.i.tute.

During the Listed Compet.i.tion, apart from the top three cadets receiving the earth cla.s.s low-tier cultivation techniques, the top ten cadets would also get rewarded with spirit stones. The first position would receive 2000 low-grade spirit stones, the second and third positions would receive 1000 low-grade spirit stones. From the fourth position and below, all the other top ten cadets would receive 500 low-grade spirit stones. It was considered generous rewards, especially for the first position.

At the long table beside the rostrum, the grade A mentors were seated beside one another.”

Grade A cla.s.s 3's mentor, Gu Lie smiled with narrow eyes and said, ”Mentor Xu, your cla.s.s 7 is so lucky. You actually have a cadet with legendary perception. In another two years, my cla.s.s 3 will not be comparable to your cla.s.s 7 anymore.”

Xu Chunhua grunted,” Gu Lie, stop being hypocritical.”

Xu Chunhua had never been on good terms with Gu Lie. A few years ago, his cla.s.s 7 was superior to cla.s.s 3, but in recent years, he wasn't lucky and didn't have any listed cadets in his cla.s.s. However, this cla.s.s 3 had a total of three listed cadets during recent years and the no.1 listed cadet, Di Jun was also in cla.s.s 3.

Hence, whenever this Gu Lie had a chance, he would mock and ridicule Xu Chunhua.

Gu Lie grinned, ”You are truly a boring person. Forget it, I shall not speak with you.”

He was feeling contented with three listed cadets, giving him around 1400 mentor points. When these three listed cadets successfully promoted to inner inst.i.tute cadets, he would be on the receiving end of the 1400 mentor points.

”Li Fuchen do your best!”

At the audience stand, Luo Yan was sitting the grade A cla.s.s 5 group and watching Li Fuchen from below the contest stage while silently rooting for Li Fuchen.

”Hmph, I shall watch how Cousin Fenghua humiliates you on the contest stage.”

Zhao Linghua was also from grade A cla.s.s 5. She was 28 years old this year, she was one year older than Luo Yan and the same age as her cousin, Zhao Fenghua.

At the eastern corner of the contest stage, Li Fuchen was standing straight and behind him were Qin Lie, w.a.n.g Yingxue, and others.

In grade A cla.s.s 7, a total of five cadets had pa.s.sed the fifth floor of the Clear Sky Tower.

Looking at Li Fuchen's back, Qin Lie and w.a.n.g Yingxue were revering him in their hearts.

For the past few days, Mentor Xu Chunhua had arranged for them to spar with Li Fuchen.

But the results were miserable as neither of them could even withstand three swords from Li Fuchen.

They similarly had their mystic cla.s.s peak-tier cultivation technique at the highest rank, and their mystic cla.s.s peak-tier martial arts were also at the highest stage. However, they were just like children when facing Li Fuchen as they couldn't put up any form of resistance.

According to Mentor Xu Chunhua's explanation, even at the same rank or stage, there would be differences. It would depend on the individual's combat skills, and it was obvious that Li Fuchen's combat skills were far superior to them.

”My only rival should be Di Jun.”

Li Fuchen's eyes landed on Di Jun, while the others were ignored by him.

Li Fuchen had yet to witness the true prowess of earth cla.s.s low-tier cultivation techniques. Thus, he didn't have complete confidence that he could defeat Di Jun.

On the rostrum, the grey-robed a.s.sistant Dean stood up and announced, ”The compet.i.tion's rules are simple. Those who acc.u.mulated ten losses shall be eliminated. In the end, those who lost the least will have a higher ranking. The compet.i.tion shall begin now.”

There was a total of ten contest stages and ten matches were conducted at the same time.

”No.2 contest stage, Li Fuchen will go against Yang Yuanhe.”

Once the referee's voice echoed, Li Fuchen flashed and landed on the no.2 contest stage.

Opposite him, Yang Yuanhe flashed and appeared too.

Yang Yuanhe was rather confident in his strength. In grade A cla.s.s 6, his strength was just inferior to the no.9 listed cadet, Lin Chao.

But he was facing Li Fuchen who had legendary perception. He didn't dare to be complacent and had put in all his strength at the beginning.

”Excuse me.”

An iron rod appeared in Yang Yuanhe's hands and it was a mystic cla.s.s peak-tier weapon.

During the Listed Compet.i.tion, cadets were only allowed to use mystic cla.s.s peak-tier weapons and were forbidden from using earth cla.s.s low-tier weapons.

Huff Huff Huff Huff…

Intensive technique intent and rod intent spread out. The iron rod in Yang Yuanhe's hands were like a storm. In the blink of the eye, he had blasted out with dozens of rod strikes at Li Fuchen. Each strike contained boundless power and they weren't as simple as shadows.

Earth cla.s.s low-tier rod art, 36 Rods of Mountain Explosion.

Violent gale rushed at the face while clothes were fluttering. Li Fuchen drew his Joint-Heaven Sword to deal with Yang Yuanhe's violent rod art.

His blacklight sword was just a mystic cla.s.s high-tier artifact sword. Li Fuchen had the confidence to defeat Yang Yuanhe even with his mystic cla.s.s high-tier artifact sword, but he didn't have to go through this trouble.

With the Joint-Heaven Sword out of the sheathe, Li Fuchen brandished his sword lightly and indifferently.

It was the Inferno Sword Art's first move, Extreme Heat Blaze. As Li Fuchen brandished his sword, a blazing hot sword qi flashed across.

Boom Boom!

Countless exploding sounds echoed in the air. Yang Yuanhe's 36 Rods of Mountain Explosion was just like a punctured ball as the rod forces declined sharply and lost more than 90% of its original power.

Clang!

The iron rod s.h.i.+vered and Yang Yuanhe felt half his body getting paralyzed while he was sent flying.

”How is this possible? We are both using mystic cla.s.s peak-tier martial arts, why did I lose so quickly?” Yang Yuanhe was in disbelief.

At the grade A mentors' seats, Xu Chunhua smiled. He didn't think that Li Fuchen can obtain the no.1 listed cadet's position but with Li Fuchen's combat skills, it was highly possible for him to become a listed cadet.

”Interesting, this child's combat skills seem to be exceptionally brilliant.” Gu Lie had a slightly surprised expression.

With a frenzied circulation of qi, Yang Yuanhe forcefully stopped his body from flying before he staggered after landing on the ground.
