Legend of King Cultivator
Chapters. 072: Preliminary Round II

Lu Shuan, was the name of Yoriichi's current opponent. He was a long sword user, his cultivation base was at seven-star Nascent Soul.

"Do you understand the rules I've explained?" Ask the referee to make sure.

Yoriichi and Lu Shuan both nodded, the two of them did not let down their guard even though the match had yet to start.

In the second-rate stands, Yong Shu squinted at the aura emanating from Yoriichi's body, "He... Is he from the Slayer race? But, how is it possible?"

The Slayer race was an ancient race of hunters. They are human beings, born with talent and beyond reason. The extinction of the race occurred when there was someone claiming to be a God, and slaughtering them for no apparent reason.

The Slayer race had been extinct for tens of thousands of years, a distinctive feature of them being the weapon referred to as, the Katana. One-eyed sword, but has a sharpness that can divide large land.

"How could the Slayer race possibly be here?" Yong Shu held onto his chin and felt quite hesitant.

A moment later, Yong Shu let out a long sigh, "Yes, that's it. Even though he is a descendant of the Slayer race, it has nothing to do with me. Most likely, he would be the most difficult opponent for Chen'er. Interesting..." Yong Shu smiled faintly, and felt impatient to see the final match.

In the second arena, Yoriichi and Lu Shuan had already fought. The battle between the two attracted almost all the attention of the audience, including the Empire.

"That kid... He's very talented." Emperor Fang Lin clucked in admiration.

"Dad, can I take part in this tournament?" Asked a handsome yellow-haired man, in a striking golden robe.

Fang Lin slightly raised his brows, "Xiang'er, didn't you say you weren't interested in this kind of tournament?"

Fang Xiang is his only 23-year-old son. He used to be such a lazy kid, but five years ago his nature changed drastically. In three years, his abilities had already surpassed that of his older brother as well as his younger sister.

"I'm curious about that guy..." Fang Xiang pointed towards Yoriichi, he thought it would be a lot of fun to fight with him.

Fang Lin slightly raised his brows, "Alright. I'll grant it, so get ready..." Answer in a calm voice.

"Thank you, dad!" Fang Xiang smiled brightly and slightly lowered his head.

Fang Lin smiled, then ordered one of his confidants to register Fang Xiang into the tournament. Although the registration had long been closed, but with the influence of the Empire overcoming the problem was an easy matter.

Back to arena two. Right now, Lu Shuan was deploying his various techniques to break through Yoriichi's defense, yet the red-robed man did not give any gaps at all.

Lu Shuan clenched his teeth, he then jumped into the air and his sword gave off a bright blue light, "Water Sword Technique: Cleaving the Skies!"

Bam!

A surge of energy occurred, the attack launched by Lu Shuan shook the arena. The spectators in the second and third grade stands became excited as they watched that.

In the arena. Yoriichi fended off Lu Shuan's attack with both hands holding the katana's hilt, he then twisted his body in mid-air and in an instant incapacitated his opponent using his legs.

Yoriichi stomped on Lu Shuan's neck with his right foot, he then stuck a katana next to his opponent's head, "Just give it up. You could be hurt badly if you rebel..." Yoriichi said in a flat voice.

Lu Shuan himself widened his eyes, he was so shocked because he did not expect to be paralyzed by his opponent in just a few seconds. How could a genius like him be defeated? And also, he was defeated in the first match, how embarrassing it was!

Whoosh!

The Nascent Soul aura seeped out from Lu Shuan's body, it then created a huge explosion that made the two of them bounce onto the array wall.

"Coughs... Cough..." Lu Shuan spewed fresh blood from his mouth, he got up to his feet while tightly grasping his sword, "Basan bastard. I don't take this..."

Lu Shuan stared angrily at Yoriichi who was holding his weapon with his left hand, as the eyes of the two of them met his heart as if it stopped beating.

Whoosh!

"Stop..." Say the referee with a serious face.

Yoriichi weakened his strength, you could say he had predicted this, "Alright."

The referee let go of Yoriichi's arm, then his gaze led to Lu Shuan, "Are you okay..."

Lu Shuan immediately flinched, his numb body suddenly just shaking violently and he immediately fell limp as if he had no more energy.

"A-ah, i-yes. I'm fine..." Lu Shuan replied with a slightly trembling tone.

The referee nodded slowly, then announced that Yoriichi was the winner of this match.

The spectators who witnessed it cheered for pleasure, while Yoriichi and Lu Shuan returned to their respective waiting rooms.

***

Waiting room.

When Yoriichi entered, many eyes were on him. They were all so amazed by the strength of that person, but there were also those who felt envious.

Xiao Chen smiled behind his mask seeing Yoriichi walking over here, "It was a good fight, senior." Praise Xiao Chen.

"You're so great, senior! Your powers are beyond my expectations..." Kimpal Mue Lian with a smile.

"Thank you." Yoriichi sat back next to Xiao Chen, "What about the two of you? Still not called?"

Xiao Chen and Mue Lian both shook their heads. Yoriichi who saw that said nothing, then looked at the box screen that was in the middle of the room.

Xiao Chen himself also did the same, whereas Mue Lian racked her brain to look for the topic of conversation with Xiao Chen.

.....

A few hours passed.

There have been hundreds of participants who finished competing, and many of them have died. Xiao Chen's name was finally called, and in the next second his opponent's name was also called.

When he got up from his chair, Xiao Chen slightly widened his eyes when he heard the name of his opponent, he fell silent for a moment before stepping back his legs.

Yoriichi and Mue Lian were naturally aware of the reaction from Xiao Chen. But the two were silent, until the black masked man walked out of the waiting room.

"Senior Yoriichi, are you aware of Brother Chen's reaction?" Mue Lian asked as she looked at the red-robed man.

Yoriichi nodded, "Yes. It seems he recognized his opponent..." Answer Yoriichi quickly.

Mue Lian was silent for a moment before staring at the box screen with a serious look.

***

First class tribune.

The four members of the Yu family reacted when they saw a participant enter into an arena, not only them but Gao Lan and several knights also reacted the same.
