Eternal Reverence Chapter 461

The Seeded Contestant Battle was hosted swiftly and there were only ten partic.i.p.ants who were also the top 10 rankers of the Power Rankings.

On the martial stage, the Dean, Meng Chihang, the a.s.sistant Dean, Lin Zhubai, the other a.s.sistant deans, inner inst.i.tute elders, and inner inst.i.tute mentors were all in their seats.

"The Seeded Contestant Battle will now officially begin. All cadets will have to fight nine matches. The cadet that wins all nine matches will be the Seeded Contestant for the 24 Martial Inst.i.tutions Rankings Tournament." a.s.sistant Dean, Lin Zhubai stood up and declared.

The first match started quickly. The no.7 Liu Qing was fighting against the no.9 inner inst.i.tute cadet.

Below the stage, Li Fuchen12Li Fuchen

Main Protagonist and the seven other cadets of the Power Rankings were standing in their individual places of choice.

Li Fuchen might not have challenged any of the Power Rankings' cadets, but the news of him defeating Liu Qing had spread throughout the inner inst.i.tute. As such, he had replaced Liu Qing on the 6th rank and was the same rank as Zhao Han.

Otherwise, Li Fuchen might have missed out on the Seeded Contestant Battle. It would be rather troublesome for him to defeat one of the Power Rankings' cadets before the Seeded Contestant Battle.

After a few matches, it was Li Fuchen's turn.

Li Fuchen's opponent was the no.8 inner inst.i.tute cadet.

Li Fuchen only used one sword to send his opponent flying. The Dean, Meng Chihang nodded silently and believed that Li Fuchen had the strength to be in the top five of the Power Rankings.

w.a.n.g Heilong was next and his opponent had conceded.

In response, Meng Chihang smiled.

The darkness bone frame was indeed extraordinary. Meng Chihang didn't expect w.a.n.g Heilong to defeat the no.2 Gu Heng, three months ago.

If w.a.n.g Heilong was given a few more years, he would definitely reach the top three of the 24 Martial Inst.i.tutions Rankings Tournament.

Half of the battle was over and the situation was already very clear.

Situ Tao and w.a.n.g Heilong had the strength to contest for the Seeded Contestant spot. They were followed closely by Gu Heng and Li Fuchen. The rest of the cadets weren't strong enough to contest against the four of them.

"Dean, congratulations. Both your in-room cadets are extremely outstanding!" Lin Zhubai still felt that it was a pity. It would have been great if Li Fuchen could be his in-room cadet. As for w.a.n.g Heilong, Lin Zhubai had already given up. Since ancient times, all 6-star special bone frames would definitely be the Dean's in-room cadet.

Meng Chihang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if they are outstanding now. Their future achievements are yet to be seen."

In the middle phase of the battle, Li Fuchen was matched up against Gu Heng.

"Senior Gu Heng, please give me some pointers." Li Fuchen drew his Scarlet Blood Sword.

Gu Heng said, "Junior Li, bring it on."

For the recent few months, Gu Heng had been in seclusion while thinking of methods to neutralize the Darkness Sky Canopy. As for Li Fuchen, he didn't even consider about Li Fuchen.

For people who awakened divine abilities, only others with divine abilities would be comparable.

"Be careful then."

Li Fuchen brandished his sword and shot out thousands of sword lights.

"Mm!"

Meng Chihang and Lin Zhubai were surprised. When did Li Fuchen's Green Sun Sword Intent reach such a level? It didn't seem to be earth cla.s.s mid-tier anymore and was at the earth cla.s.s high-tier. If it was true, then it would be terrifying.

Gu Heng was in a sorry state because he was careless and had no choice but to retreat constantly without any power to resist.

w.a.n.g Heilong squinted his eyes below the stage.

After promoting to the inner inst.i.tute, he thought had overtaken Li Fuchen and didn't expect Li Fuchen's progress to be very fast and actually had stronger regular strength than him.

On the stage, Gu Heng's body released the sharp metal splendor and imposing qi presence to barely stand firm.

"Junior Li, you have hidden your strength very well." Gu Heng had an unpleasant expression.

Earlier on, Li Fuchen had forced him to use the sharp metal power.

"Senior Gu Heng, it is best for you to execute your divine ability!" Li Fuchen brandished his Scarlet Blood Sword. The sword lights were released and the sword presence was stronger than before.

"Talking big."

Clink Clink Clank Clank!

Gu Heng's weapon was a spear and when it thrust, the tyrannic golden splendor would a.s.sault Li Fuchen.

"Give up."

Li Fuchen used a sword strike to disarm Gu Heng's spear instantly.

In terms of regular strength, Gu Heng would never be able to keep up with Li Fuchen. If Li Fuchen wanted, he could claim Gu Heng's life in a single sword attack. Gu Heng wouldn't even have the chance to execute his divine ability.

"Sharp metal divine ability, Sharp Metal Divine Spear!"

Gu Heng yelled out while his palm glowed with golden radiance. A golden spear that was covered with patterns had appeared.

When wielding the golden spear, Gu Heng's qi presence was several times stronger.

If it was an honorable fight, w.a.n.g Heilong would never be able to defeat him even if there were three w.a.n.g Heilong.

Gu Heng didn't lose to w.a.n.g Heilong, he had lost to the strange Darkness Sky Canopy.

"Junior Li, time for you to be defeated!"

Gu Heng was angry and had thrust the spear at Li Fuchen.

When the spear strike was thrust out, the s.p.a.cious stage was filled with golden dazzling light.

Let alone the high-level Reincarnation Realm experts of the outside world, most of the inner inst.i.tute mentors didn't dare to confront this attack head-on, otherwise, they would definitely suffer injuries.

"Sigh. Li Fuchen's strength is extremely powerful but when facing Senior Gu Heng who has awakened his divine ability, Li Fuchen would surely lose."

In the audience stands, most of the people didn't think Li Fuchen would win.

The ones who believed Li Fuchen would win were An Xinmei6mei

young or little sister and a few individuals, including Liu Qing.

"What a joke, Li Fuchen could even defeat the ranked 11th Liu Jun of the Stars Martial Inst.i.tution. Liu Jun had already awakened the starlight divine ability, Starlight Sword Qi. He wasn't inferior to Gu Heng at all."

"Li Fuchen, the greatest difference between us is our bone frames." w.a.n.g Heilong shook his head.

"Senior Gu Heng, look at how I break your sharp metal divine ability in one sword."

Li Fuchen laughed heartily and thrust with his sword to release green radiance.

This time, the green radiance contained extremely dominant sword intent.

Bang!

Gu Heng's golden spear immediately exploded and Gu Heng was sent flying while the audience were shocked.

"Earth cla.s.s high-tier sword intent."

Meng Chihang and Lin Zhubai looked at one another with extreme astonishment.

The rest of the a.s.sistant deans and inner inst.i.tute elders were also extremely stunned.

It was already extremely difficult for Li Fuchen to push the Green Sun Sword Intent to earth cla.s.s high-tier. The comprehension of the sword intent was much more insane and horrific than the former.

Such perception was hard for them to even strive for.

Li Fuchen wasn't even 30 years old yet and had only been cultivating the Green Sun Sword Intent for a short time.

They would never be able to achieve the same result in such a short period of time.

They were all at the Battle Spirit Realm. They didn't only have great perceptions, they had also cultivated earth cla.s.s martial arts, allowing them to cultivate with ease.

"This child's perception is simply wicked and there might not even be one in 100 million." Lin Zhubai took a deep cold breath.

Meng Chihang said, "As his mentor, I have underestimated him. His bone frame might not be comparable to w.a.n.g Heilong's bone frame, but his perception is more than enough to compensate for the difference."

Those who awakened the divine ability would be invincible in the same realm.

This statement was correct, but there were times when this statement would be wrong.

When the perception was excessively exceptional, even without divine ability, one would be beyond invincible.

The prerequisite was to cultivate increasingly better cultivation techniques and martial arts. If the cultivation technique and martial arts were of the same tier, those with divine abilities would still be invincible in the same realm.

"The Red Rainbow Sect is simply his paradise." Meng Chihang commented.

Lin Zhubai nodded. Higher tiered cultivation techniques and martial arts could only be found in the Red Rainbow Sect. When Li Fuchen reached that place, it would be the same as putting a fish in the water.

"I have been defeated?" Gu Heng couldn't believe what had happened.

A 4th level Reincarnation Realm expert who didn’t awaken a divine ability had actually defeated him and it took only one sword.

Below the stage, w.a.n.g Heilong’s had shrunk. He felt that Li Fuchen’s sword art was extremely dangerous.

If it wasn’t for his unique Darkness Sky Canopy, he wouldn’t have any chance to defeat Li Fuchen.

“Li Fuchen against w.a.n.g Heilong. Please enter the stage!”

A battle between ten individuals progressed very quickly and each match was immediately followed by the next match. There wasn’t any time to catch one’s breath.

“Darkness divine ability, Darkness Sky Canopy.”

Once on the stage, w.a.n.g Heilong executed the Darkness Sky Canopy.

If not, he would never be able to receive a single sword attack from Li Fuchen.

As compared to three months ago, w.a.n.g Heilong's Darkness Sky Canopy was much stronger. The pitch-black darkness power was like a dome that covered the entire stage.

In the darkness, Li Fuchen's senses were robbed and the circulation of qi had also become sluggish.

The Darkness Sky Canopy was like an enhanced version of the field power. It didn't just rob the senses, it was also able to suppress the enemy. Once any attack forces were released, the darkness power would devour everything.

"I wonder how is Li Fuchen going to deal with the Darkness Sky Canopy?" The audiences were all extremely curious.

Over a dozen individuals' awareness had permeated into the Darkness Sky Canopy and were able to sense Li Fuchen and w.a.n.g Heilong clearly.

The owners of the awareness were naturally Meng Chihang, Lin Zhubai, the other a.s.sistant deans, and inner inst.i.tute elders.

After progressing to Battle Spirit Realm, their awareness had already evolved into spiritual awareness and it wasn't too difficult to enter the Darkness Sky Canopy and simply felt some obstruction. If the Darkness Sky Canopy was stronger by another level, perhaps only Meng Chihang and the a.s.sistant deans would be able to permeate through it. The current Darkness Sky Canopy was still unable to stop any Battle Spirit Realm master.

"The darkness divine ability is indeed very horrific."

Divine abilities weren't judged by its strength but by its ruthlessness.

The Darkness Sky Canopy didn't have any lethality but it was extremely horrific to anyone trapped within. It was the same as turning the enemy into a deaf and blind person while suppressing the enemy's strength. If the attacks were neutralized, was there even a need to fight? It was practically entering the opponent's home ground.

Of course, to Li Fuchen, there were a few methods to break out of the Darkness Sky Canopy.

The first method was to break through with the Green Sun Sword Intent. It was the method he planned to use.

The second method would be to break through with the Heart of Blazing Flame. But Li Fuchen's Heart of Blazing Flame was too powerful and if he used it here, it was no different from slaughtering a chicken with a knife meant for slaughtering cows. It was a waste of power.

The third method would be to break through without doing anything.

Similar to the Battle Spirit Realm masters, Li Fuchen's sense might be robbed, his awareness was still intact.

After scanning with his awareness, Li Fuchen could see w.a.n.g Heilong's moves clearly.

Since Li Fuchen was able to see his opponent, a casual sword attack from Li Fuchen would be able to defeat or even kill w.a.n.g Heilong.

But if Li Fuchen had done so, it would expose his special awareness and it wasn't necessary.

"Li Fuchen, time for defeat!"

w.a.n.g Heilong's voice echoed towards Li Fuchen from all directions. His physical body was behind Li Fuchen and he had blasted a fist at Li Fuchen.

The scorching and dazzling green radiance burst out with Li Fuchen at the core. It felt as though the Darkness Sky Canopy was like the night sky that encountered the sun. It was instantly illuminated and the night sky had turned into daytime.

Pfff!

w.a.n.g Heilong was sent flying while vomiting fresh blood.

Li Fuchen used one sword to defeat Gu Heng. He still used one sword to defeat w.a.n.g Heilong.

When he brandished his sword, the sword light that had the sword field and sword intent had expanded and instantly broke w.a.n.g Heilong's Darkness Sky Canopy.
