Eternal Reverence
The Beginning of the Competition

Entering the battle arena, Li Chen could feel the pressure coming from the spectators crowding the seats in all directions.

The Yunwu City Arena could only accommodate thousands of people, whereas the arena of the outer sect of Cang Lan could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.

"You guys will first take the draw. “Xiao Changfeng instructed to 20 participants.

"Yes!"

Li Chen and the others went up on stage and grabbed into the draw box and each took one..

Li Chen got the number 3.

Although the outer sect disciples tournament was highly respected, it did not have a complicated process. Sitting on the podium were the elders of the inner sect and higher, they nodded to Xiao Changfeng which meant starting the competition.

With the ranking competition starting, the pair that drew number 1 took to the stage.

They were Guan Xue and Wu Qingmei.

Roars!

As the two went up on stage, the spectators woke up. Especially the male inner sect disciples, who started whistling and cheering.

“Guan Xue shimei, I will not lose to you. “Wu Qingmei unsheathed her sword, chuckling.

Guan Xue remained indifferent, though,

Raising his wooden sword, Wu Qingmei swung his body and several sword shadows descended towards Guan Xue, with each shadow faster than the next.

Peak Level, yellow grade sword arts Squall Quick Sword.

With a stretch and shake of Guan Xue's arm, the Plum Flower sword layer countered against Wu Qingmei's Quick Sword.

Top level yellow grade sword arts – Blossom Sword Style.

Clang, clang, clang …

Both of them floated gracefully like butterflies in the garden. But each of their attacks were merciless, hidden with the intent to kill, sharp and heartless.

"Wu Qingmei's "cultivation and techniques were slightly better, but Guan Xue's body refinement neutralized that advantage. ”

Below the stage, Li Chen observed their match.

He could tell that Wu Qingmei's physical strength was weaker than Guan Xue's.

But on the other hand, Wu Qingmei entered the sect earlier than Guan Xue, which allowed him more time to cultivate, causing harm to Guan Xue.

After exchanging nearly a hundred moves, Wu Qingmei took the initiative to make her hand movements.

"Squall Variations!"

Wu Qingmei's Squall Quick Sword had reached the completion stage, and with hand movements executed, it was as if hundreds of arrows were released at once.

"Thousand Flowers. ”

It was a pity that Guan Xue's sword arts talent seemed to be better than Wu Qingmei's. The display of his sword movements was as if a sword like blossoming flowers, spreading out wonderfully to neutralize Wu Qingmei's hand movements.

Not waiting for Wu Qingmei to move, Guan Xue changed the position of his sword and attributed the movement of his hand to the first movement of the Blossom Sword Style. With the blooming flowers plucking out, Guan Xue thrust his sword into Wu Qingmei's throat in an instant.

"you're losing. '' Guan Xue spoke in a calm manner.

Wu Qingmei disappointed, “Winner, Guan Xue shimei. ”said a man who refereed it.

There was aversion in his heart. If not for his weaker physical condition and also he was not as agile as Guan Xue, he might not have lost. But he had to admit that Guan Xue's sword arts talent was greater than his and Guan Xue's understanding of how to use the sword was deeper than his as well.

"A great display of the Blossom Sword Style. ”

In the audience seats, an inner sect female disciple who had snow-white skin, raised her eyebrows.

He was Sword Blossom, Chen Fanghua.

And the reason why he was named Sword Blossom was because the sword style he practiced was related to Blossoms.

During the period of his outer sect, he practiced the Blossom Sword Style.

Now that he was in the inner sect, he was now practicing the Blossom Sword Style.

So he paid extra attention to Guan Xue who practiced the Blossom Sword Style as well.

“Squall's Fast Sword is actually not bad, but it lacks the ability to adapt. "The Cloud Sword, Liu Qianhe also gave a comment about Wu Qingmei's sword arts.

With the match between Guan Xue and Wu Qingmei having ended.

Now number 2, get on stage.

They were Hong Feng and Shang Guan Hong.

“Nomer 3, get on stage. “Wasit instructed in a loud voice.

"My turn . ”

Quickly, Li Chen jumped onto the stage.

On the opposite side, a figure suddenly appeared as well.

With focused eyes, it was one of the 10 prodigies, Sun Jun.

Sun Jun who heard Li Chen's name, complained about his bad luck in his heart.

Of the 19 participants, he just did not want to meet with 4 people one of the 4 people was Li Chen.

"Li Chen, take this!"

With Sun Jun taking the initiative, the sword flashed like the tongue of a poisonous snake and the speed of the blade was extremely fast.

Peak Level, yellow grade sword arts Snake Eye Sword Style.

“Clear Wind Flows. ”

With the perfection stage of the Wind Sword Style in Li Chen's hand, it was as if the trash sword style was brought back to the peak.

It was only one swing from the sword, but Sun Jun felt as if Li Chen was executing dozens of blades. Each blade can be real and thus each blade can be a fatal blow.

Tinkling, clang, clang …

Although Sun Jun was the first to attack but he was also the first to start retreating as well.

He had no choice but to retreat. Had he not done so, he would have lost there and then.

'I have to win against my opponent just by using my sword skills. '

Li Chen did not rely on the slightest bit of his physical strength.

In order to appear outstanding and show his dazzling talent, he had to first display his sword skills.

A dozen moves later, Li Chen thwarted Sun Jun's Snake-Eyed Sword Style.

“You are strong, I willingly admit defeat. ”

Sun Jun had a bitter smile on his face. He thought his sword skills were good but Li Chen's sword skills were really at the next level. Every movement and attitude was executed perfectly.

"You're too good . "Li Chen cupped his fists to show some respect.

Yu Wen Tian who won the number 4, only used 1 sword move to finish his opponent.

With his extraordinary abilities, came a loud roar and cheers.

Everyone was determined that he would be the best outer sect disciple tournament this year and no one would be able to stop him.

In the fifth round, it was Zhao Mingyue fighting Fang Liehai.

Fang Liehai was strong but Zhao Mingyue was much stronger. When the Raging Wave Sword Style met with the Bright Moon Sword Style, as if meeting his mortal enemy, it was completely unable to show any single ability.

With hand movements

'The Moon is Rising'

that move resulted in Fang Liehai spitting out blood and falling off the stage.

“Mingyue shimei really lives up to its name as the granddaughter of the old ancestor. A frightening talent. ”

“In the outer sect, other than Yu Wen Tian, it seems that only Guan Guan Hong can match Mingyue shimei. ”

“Shang Guan Hong is the grandson of elder Shang Guan and has the same amount of talent. ”

Next was Gao Changtian against Qing Shaoyu, with Gao Changtian winning.

Very quickly, after the first round of matches, the top 10 appeared.

Earning the top 10 in the tournament means awarding a large number of contribution points.

First place: 100,000 points

Second and third place: 80,000 points

Fourth and fifth place: 60,000 points

Sixth to tenth place: 30,000 points.
