Chapter 345: Coward (1/2)

”Sect Leader, did my brother truly gain Sword Qi?” Su Min asked from the side. She had seen the event unfold and had thus listened to what Wen Cheng had said.

”I… don't know. He can definitely use it, but it doesn't seem to be at a level where it is consistent,” Wen Cheng said. ”Still, just the fact that he reached there means that he will be able to freely use Sword Qi sooner or later.”

Su Min smiled when she heard that. She really liked her senior brother being strong and was looking forward to when he became the prime disciple.

Wen Cheng suddenly smiled and then started laughing like an idiot.

”Master? What's wrong?”

”Are you okay, sect leader?”

Various voices of concern started ringing from either side.

”Hahaha, you guys. Don't you realize what just happened? Little Mei will be fighting Yuhan in the next battle,” he said.

The people didn't understand what was so funny about that.

”Don't you see?” he asked, ”We have a guaranteed spot in the final round.”

” Oh… OH!,” they finally realized what that meant.

”We... We are going to be 2nd in the competition,” they rejoiced.

Alex looked at them all happy and smiled. Suddenly, the feeling vanished once more. 'What is that?' he thought.

He suddenly turned to the stage and saw Wan Li on the stage along with his opponent. Alex couldn't help but sigh.

Wan Li's opponent was a person in the 6th Mind Tempering realm and used Metal Qi. Both Earth and Fire were either Weakened or Ruined by Metal Qi.

As such, Alex didn't even want to watch the match. However, he watched it for the single reason that it was Wan Li. Wan Li put up an excellent fight, but there was just no way he could win.

Even with the lava attacks, the metal Qi took care of them like it was nothing. In the end, it didn't even take 2 minutes for Wan Li to lose.

However, nobody was disappointed in him for losing here. In fact, everyone was genuinely surprised and amazed at the fact that an alchemist was able to make it this far without relying on pills as a form of combat.

The next match was even worse. Since it was between Chu Xiang and the disciple from the Thousand Hand sect, it was obvious who would win.

Chu Xiang used a single palm attack and destroyed a puppet entirely. The opponent gave up before his other puppets were destroyed as well.

So, the Top 8 competitions came to a close as well.

The stage was prepared as the audience waited listened to Fu Zhen speak about the competition. Once everything was prepared, Luo Mei and Du Yuhan walked up to the stage.

They both went to either side of the stage.

Anticipation rose in the air as everyone wanted to see their fight. One was a fighter that overwhelmed the other with water arts, and another was a fighter that could release Sword Qi. Adding onto the fact that people knew they were from the same sect, they naturally looked forward to it.
