Eternal Reverence
The Starry Night

The last two days before the Tournament, Li Chen had managed to grasp the first step of the Red Jade Sword Style to the completion stage.

With refinement, the Red Jade Touch produces a strong suction power. With a space of half a meter, it could pull a steel sword that weighed several kilograms and if used at point-blank, the pulling force would be dozens of times stronger. But actually with Li Chen's cultivation, he shouldn't be able to produce suction power.

"Young man, look now. ”

In the courtyard, the Li clan officer, Li Daquan who was an archer at the eighth level of the Qi Realm, slashed at Li Chen.

That sword had lightning speed and storm strength, if it was someone else at the sixth level of the Qi Realm, they would be split apart and unable to react.

Li Chen gave a light smile, unsheathed the sword at his waist and countered the attack.

Clangs!

The sword clashed forcefully.

As Li Daquan used his qi to release Li Chen's sword, he suddenly felt his sword was not in his control. It actually stuck to Li Chen's sword.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Daquan was shocked.

"You lost . ”

Li Chen's sword stuck to Li Daquan's throat.

Li Daquan frantically swallowed his saliva, "Young master, you learned the Red Jade Sword Style?"

To his knowledge, within the Li Clan, only the Red Jade Sword Style could draw the enemy's sword.

“ Only the first step I learned until the completion stage. Li Chen replied.

'The first step of the solution? "

Li Daquan looked at Li Chen with wide eyes. Wasn't it the case that before the seventh level of the Qi Realm, no one could understand the essence of a high grade, yellow grade sword art?.

“Remember to keep it a secret. "

“I understand young master. ”

Excitement was written all over Li Daquan's facial expression. Others might not expect anything good from the young master, but who would have thought he would have a killer move. After the young master entered the Cang Lan Sect, as his servant, his status in the Li Clan would definitely improve.

What he did not know was, Li Chen practiced the Red Jade Sword Style not for a genius contest but for a future full of uncertainty. Seeking strength was what a martial artist should strive for and cultivating the Red Jade Sword Style was purely to strengthen himself.

"Older Chen, welcome to Yunwu City. ”

At the gate of the city lord's residence, the city lord, Shen Tu Jianhe warmly welcomed an elder in a blue robe.

"Master Shen Tu, thank you for accepting me. ”

The elder seemed to be 60 years old, wearing a blue robe, and on his back was a small white blade.

If anyone understood the clothes of the Cang Lan Sect, they would instantly recognize this blue robe. Only the outer sect elder Cang Lan was qualified to wear this robe, without exception. All the elders of the outer sect were from the Earth Realm. Their status was equal to that of the city lord under the Cang Lan Sect and in special occasions, their status exceeded that of the city lord. Events like genius tournaments.

"Older Chen, please pass by here. ”

In the hall, Shen Tu Jianhe sat right across from the elder.

This blue-robed elder was Chen Zongming. With a mouthful of tea, he slowly spoke, "the city of Yunwu is doing a good job in producing 4-star bone roots.

Shen Tu Jianhe nodded in agreement, “Guan Xue, that girl is indeed a good talent, It's a pity that the Shen Tu clan I don't have miracles like her. ”

Regarding the Guan Clan being such a genius, Shen Tu Jianhe was truly envious.

Chen Zongming spoke with deep intention, “He is not just a 4-star bone root. Master Shen Tu, if I were you, I would not miss the opportunity and immediately establish a good relationship with the Guan Clan. ”

"Ohh? What made Elder Chen give this advice? ”Shen Tu Jianhe confused.

Chen Zongming explained, “Guan Xue, this girl has no ordinary 4-star bone root. Within his bone roots contained an incredible strength that could match a 5-star bone root. With this kind of talent, he would at least enter the top 20 in the Cang Lan Sect . ”

"A remarkable 4-star bone char?"

Shen Tu Jianhe was stunned.

The roots of the bones are separated into regular and extraordinary types. There is not much to explain about the regular type. As for the extraordinary kind, it contained a mystical power within it. Take for example the legendary Sun bone root, Lightning bone root, fire bone root, and Snow bone root.

If those with exceptional bone roots cultivate similar trait techniques. It would speed up cultivation time and produce great strength.

"The gods really blessed the Guan Clan. ”

Shen Tu Jianhe was not envious now, but jealous. Had the Shen Tu Clan had someone with incredible 4-star bone roots, it would have guaranteed the Shen Tu Clan's glory for the next century.

Chen Zongming laughed, “Some things cannot be forced. Life revolves in one cycle, as does luck, no one will know who will lead after 30 years. ”

Entering the sect in his teens, after decades, Chen Zongming witnessed the many ups and downs of geniuses. After all, incredible bone roots were rare and the genius who possessed them would only become stronger and not weaker.

"Fortunately I have a good relationship with the Guan Clan, Elder Chen doesn't need to worry about this. "Shen Tu Jianhe rejoiced. When he originally approached the Guan Clan and left the Li Clan all those years ago, it was now a big step. It seemed, it was time to shake up the Li Clan and give half their business to the Guan Clan. Hopefully, the Guan Clan will remember his actions.

As night fell, darkness swept over Yunwu City.

But everyone's heart is burning with fire because tomorrow is the start of a genius tournament. The result would determine one's future, as well as the fate of the clan. Whether you will rise to the top or fall silently, everything will be decided tomorrow.

Li Clan.

Li Chen was staring at the starry sky.

The stars formed in formation and glistened like never before seen. Every star shines brightly.

"Which star represents me?"

Li Chen looked up at the sky, looking into the deep darkness.

"Perhaps, none of these stars are me. Because they can't represent me, because I'll cover their existence. ”

A golden luster gleamed from Li Chen's eyes, its authoritative brilliance making the stars appear darker. Heaven and earth revolved around him as its center, giving him control over everything.

At this moment, Li Chen's mindset exceeded his imagination and carried a golden aura.

Simultaneously in Li Cen's mind, the pale green soul spirit was partly already a darker green color, and one could clearly see the golden talisman shining with a dazzling radiance.
