Eternal Honor
Chapter 24: For Greater Interests
Cracks!
The metal ball was clenched in form.
Guan Tong snorted accompanied by killing intent.
He repeatedly pleaded with Li Fuchen, but did not expect him to turn a deaf ear.
"Guan Peng lost?"
Guan Yue and Guan Tian had yet to regain consciousness as they never anticipated Guan Peng losing a match to become one of the top 20.
"Poor little boy, you really ruined my son's future, I'm gonna make you pay for it."
Guan Tian's face turned and gritted his teeth in anger.
Guan Yue furrowed her brows. He had originally thought nothing of Li Fuchen, but now it was just hatred.
On top of the pulpit, Guan Hong and Guan Yan looked like they had just eaten a fly and looked extremely guiding, Guan Peng could actually advance uncomfortably.
Earlier with their contest, they did not even care about Li Fuchen and assumed Guan Peng would be into the top 3 positions. But now he didn't even reach the top 20.
On the contrary, Li Tianhan and Shen Yuyan were very pleased. Li Tianhan's face was filled with cheerfulness and the previous pent-up stress caused by Li Hongkai became relieved. At the same time, Shen Yuyan looked radiant, and became young again.
"The people of the Guan Clan are really shameless" After sending Guan Peng down from the arena, Li Fuchen looked at the elder, sitting beside Guan Yue.
This elder was precisely Guan Tong, the only practitioner of the Earth Realm of the Guan Clan, who was at the second level.
Real strong. That doesn't mean if one has a 2-star bone skeleton, he could be a very high-ranking Earth Realm expert, that Earth expert just means probability.
But Earth Realm practitioners not only possessed great combat skills, they also possessed special skills and spreading hidden messages was one of those skills. The ability to send hidden messages through space right into the target's ear. With such a high level of cultivation, the distance could be extended even further.
As the audience cheered, Li Fuchen descended from the arena.
...****************...
After 20 games, the top 20 announced.
The remaining clans with 4 contestants. Shen Tu Clan with 3 contestants, Guan Clan with 2 contestants, and Li Clan still with 2 contestants. A total of 11 contestants from large clans, with the rest from small clans, and among them there were 4 who stood out. They're Northern hotshot, He Ping. Southern Devil, Si Fei. Eastern beauty, Zhu Hongxiu and Western beauty, Sun Di.
For the rest of the contest, it would be a ranking match.
Compared to the match, this was much fairer as there would be no elimination after losing the previous 1 game.
But a cumulative defeat of 5 games, will result in elimination. In the end, this genius contest to determine the top 5 that would enter the Cang Lan Sect, the 6th to 20th champion, was not so important.
In the first round, Li Fuchen met the Western best player, Sun Di.
Sun Di did possess strong fighting skills, but only when compared to individuals in general. In Li Fuchen's eyes, he was on the same level as Yang Qi, so he did not try hard to win the first match.
In the second round, Li Fuchen easily won against the third strongest contestant of the Shen Tu Clan, Shen Tu Hai.
In the third round, Li Fuchen fought the ruthless genius of the South, Si Fei.
"You have good skills, but the one that will win is me."
Si Fei's swift sword had an influence on people. Until now, he was also undefeated and capitalized on the momentum.
"I'm worried, it won't be the way you want it."
Li Fuchen knew Si Fei's sword was fast and ferocious. He has a lot of fighting experience too. But in this world, not only is your experience and skills important, fighting talent is also a factor.
"The pride comes with a price and I'll be the one to make you pay." Si Fei Li grinned as he used the Si Clan's 36 Quick Sword Games, attacking Li Fuchen.
Si Fei's sword was too fast, one move after another, one sword after another. Each attack was aimed at Li Fuchen's fatal point. If it was someone else, they would have fallen in a few moves.
But Li Fuchen wasn't just anyone. To date, Li Fuchen had not made any all-out effort, at least not yet revealing his sixth level Red Jade Technique.
Clang clang....
The sword echoed like rain hitting the banana leaf in an endless cycle. The pair's swords clashed at least four to five times in just the blink of an eye.
"Take this. Storm Storm!"
In the many moves of the Fast Sword Game 36 Position Si Clan, Storm Storm was one of those movements that had extreme speed and sharpness, like the wind blowing through the grass.
The blow!
The sword split through the air and let out a trembling sound as it shot towards Li Fuchen's chest.
"Give up."
Li Fuchen's Quick Wind Sword Style had long reached completion and could swing 6 blades in the blink of an eye. Hurricane Si Fei could only be considered an average fast speed.
Aiming at the trajectory, counter Li Fuchen took the initiative and attacked the sword hilt of the opponent.
With numb hands, Si Fei lost the grip of his wooden sword.
With a reddened face, Si Fei who was reluctant to admit defeat, jumped up and tried to kick Li Fuchen's head.
"Kids' game."
With a typhoon-like turn, three kicks landed on Si Fei's chest, causing blood to drip to the edge of his mouth, as he fell violently from the arena.
"Li Fuchen, you dare hurt me?"
Falling off the stage, Si Fei shouted with hostility as he pointed at Li Fuchen.
The Si clan was furious and protested again to the judge.
Li Fuchen descended from the arena while snorting.
"Li Fuchen this is too cruel. Elder, shouldn't we give him a warning, and if he acts again, then disqualify him." Guan Hong said to Chen Zong Ming.
Chen Zong Ming shook his head, "Si Fei blames others for her own weakness, it's not Li Fuchen's fault."
Even if he thought highly of the Guan Clan, it didn't mean he didn't have a stand of his own. In his eyes, who had potential, he would side with that person.
Hearing Elder Chen, the faces of Guan Hong and Guan Yan alternated several times but still could not provide any further refutation.
...****************...
With the completion of the third round match, the sun began to set. City Lord Shen Tu Jianhe announced that the match would resume the next morning.
That night, everyone remained in Yunwu City.
"Yunhai, are you sure you can defeat Li Fuchen?" Inside the tavern room, Li Tieshan asked Li Yunhai.
Li Yunhai gritted his teeth, "Dad, I will do my best"
Seeing Li Fuchen win over Guan Peng again, his initial confidence was lost. He could not imagine how Li Fuchen possessed such fighting skills, as he did not even accept any teachings from Li Shanhe.
Li Shanhe who was also present in the room, "We can convince Li Fuchen to deliberately lose to Yunhai when it is their turn to fight."
Being Li Yunhai's cousin uncle, he was definitely closer to Li Yunhai. At the same time, he also disliked Li Fuchen.
"Losing to Yunhai on purpose?" Seduced by this plan, Li Tieshan said, "I don't think he'll accept this plan."
Li Shanhe let out a cold laugh, "It doesn't depend on him. A normal bone skeleton would remain a normal bone skeleton, with no future prospects. Giving the opportunity to Yunhai was the right course of action, he had to think of greater interests. The Li Clan had indeed fed him for many years, it was time for him to contribute to the Li Clan now."
"If he's willing to think for the greater good, that's certainly for the best."
Li Tieshan nodded his head and decided to look for the Li Clan Founder to negotiate.
