Eternal Honor
Chapter 23: The Secret Message

With the end of the first round, the top 80 were announced.

The Yang Clan had 7 trips.

The Shen Tu Clan and the Guan Clan were each with 6 qualifications.

However there were only 2 survivors from the Li Clan, namely Li Fuchen and Li Yunhai.

The race for the top 40 position turned out to be much more fierce. With the end of the second half, the contestants of each clan were cut down

The Yang Clan had 5 leftovers, the Shen Tu Clan with 4, the Guan Clan with 3, and the Li Clan still with 2.

In the third round, with the top 20 champions at stake, the match could not be described as an intense but instead desperate match.

Because the reward for the top 20 is too significant. Obtaining that reward, one could smoothly cultivate for at least the next few years.

Inevitably, Li Fuchen once again fought Guan Peng.

"Klan Li really had the worst fate, making Li Fuchen fight against Guan Peng."

"It's not. If not for Guan Peng as the opponent, Li Fuchen would have no trouble entering the top 20."

The crowd held a heated discussion.

For the first 2 rounds, Li Fuchen performed superbly and defeated the opponent easily. But Guan Peng's next opponent was clearly different from the others, being one of the six people who entered the Tempering Pool. Guan Peng easily became a top 10 candidate and only Yang Kai could be guaranteed a win against him.

"Li Fuchen, it looks like this is an arrangement from the sky." Guan Peng's face was full of excitement over Li Fuchen's misfortune.

Losing to Li Fuchen last time was the worst humiliation. He swore that Li Fuchen should pay the price and now was the time. Being a top 20 placement match, this fight is very important. Not only will it determine if you get any reward, it also decides whether you have the chance to enter the Cang Lan Sect.

Not going through this round means you get nothing, with all your efforts in vain.

Li Fuchen laughed lightly, "Truly setting the Sky."

"still reluctant to accept your defeat huh?

Wait till I break your teeth." Li Fuchen's confident grin sparked a fire inside Guan Peng's stomach.

...****************...

"Head of the family, do you think Guan Peng will have an accident?"

Speaking beside Guan Yue was Guan Tian.

Guan Peng's father, initially believed in his son, but Guan Peng still lost to Li Fuchen before. As of now, it was unclear how he lost and there were no details of his fight either. But a loss remains a loss, Above the arena, anything can happen and what makes Guan Tian's heart proven is Li Fuchen's ability to sink.

Why he lost to Li Fuchen. But Li Fuchen was not even a speck of dust against Guan Yue currently shaking his ship, "Quiet, satisfaction is one of Guan Peng's main factors."

Li Fuchen's sudden awakening completely shocked Guan Yue, but in his eyes, the normal skeletal remains still could not be hypnotized, as they usually meant nothing in the future.

"The typical normal bone frame makes you all very nervous."

Sitting to the left of Guan Yue, a gray-haired old veteran snorted.

Guan Yue and Guan Tian looked at each other awkwardly. The veteran was the only practitioner of the Earth Realm of the Guan Clan who did not attend any affairs and only appeared biennially during the genius contest.

...****************...

"Sadly, you'll never be able to do that. I beat you once, and I'll do it again." Li Fuchen stated.

"Shameless shit."

Guan Peng's form suddenly changed, his wooden sword flowing towards Li Fuchen like rain.

Clink, Clink, Clang, Clang...

If Guan Peng's sword form was fine like rain, then Li Fuchen's sword form would be a enveloping wind. With a gentle breeze blowing through the heavy rain, no one could get close to Li Fuchen.

"His abilities seem to be greatly enhanced"

"How did this happen?"

Guan Peng's brows stiffened, after this period of combat training, his sword skills were of better quality than before, with every sword aimed considering Li Fuchen's fighting skills to be strong but not exceeding his. If it was weaker than, the Gentle Flowing Sword. If it was on the same skill as him, he could easily send Li Fuchen's sword to Li Fuchen's weakness. The force would penetrate flying because of his physical strength.

But beyond his expectations, his Flowing Ox Sword Style was completely neutralized by the Fast Wind Sword Force. Not only that, each of his opponent's attacks was aimed at the weakest point of his wooden sword, which limited his usable strength to only 50%.

"Impressively, this contestant's fighting skills were outstanding, easily finding his opponent's weak spot."

Cheng Zong Ming's eyes twinkled and nodded in agreement.

Shen Tu Jianhe nodded in agreement, "This young man is Li Fuchen, the son of the Li Clan's Family Head. He has good fighting talent, but unfortunately, he only has a normal bone skeleton."

"Normal bone frame?"

A look of sympathy appeared on Chen Zong Ming's face. Although Li Fuchen's fighting skills were not outstanding, it was still considered good. If he had at least a 2-star bone skeleton, he would be a talent worthy of nurturing in the Cang Lan Sect.

"B*j**this has great fighting skills?"

Guan Hong and Guan Yan were shocked.

Under their coaching, Guan Peng's fighting skills improved significantly. But clearly, Li Fuchen easily cancelled out Guan Peng's Gentle Flowing Sword Style, how he was much better off with Gentle Flowing Sword Style.

"Don't be happy!"

Guan Peng roared and with a change of himself, he switched from the Gentle Flowing Sword Style to the Rainfall Sword Style.

Compared to the Gentle Flowing Sword Style, the Rainfall Sword Style provided subtlety but increased the speed and rate of attacks. As if the torrential rain was turning into a drizzle, attacks came nonstop.

"Let me repeat, I have defeated you once, I will do it again."

It still used the Fast Wind Sword Style, but the sword shapes around here looked even more frantic. With a single swing, Guan Peng's sword stance was disseminated and intense sword clashes erupted.

"Young man, I'm Guan Tong. I'd like to know if you're willing to leave this fight for me and reward you with whatever you want later."

Right at this moment, an illusory sound penetrated right into Li Fuchen's ear, causing him to hesitate for a moment and open a gap.

Not knowing why Li Fuchen revealed his weak point, Guan Peng did not care. His Rain Sword Style turned the tide and charged towards Li Fuchen.

Li Fuchen gave an ominous look and desperately retreated because the situation was unfavorable.

"What's going on? How did Li Fuchen make such a big mistake? It can't be!"

"Li Fuchen forced himself early and is probably now tired, right?."

"That sounds reasonable."

The exchanges above the arena stirred up debate among the spectators.

Li Fuchen still had considerable remaining power and only Guan Peng would not be enough for him to uncover his trump. After a few breaths, Li Fuchen took back control and suppressed Guan Peng.

"Young friend, this old man kept his promise. If you can let go, I'll give you 5,000 gold."

The voice once again echoed in Li Fuchen's ear.

Li Fuchenuchen did not listen to the sound and intensified his sword form.

Getting his answer, the elder's face beside Guan Yue darkened and slightly moved his lips.

"Young friends never fail to appreciate my kindness. Even the City Lord must yield to me, Guan Tong.

You better reconsider carefully."

Bam!

Li Fuchen attacked Guan Peng, forcing him down the arena.
