Eternal Honor
Chapter 25: Founder of the Li Clan

The founder of the Li Clan was also an Earth Realm expert and had a higher cultivation level than Guan Tong, being at the third level of the Earth Realm.

It was precisely because of the Founder that the Li Clan could continue to maintain their status. Had it not been for him, the Li Clan would have been much weaker than the other three great clans and would not have been able to maintain their position in Yunwu City.

The founder of the Li Clan was Li Xuanfeng.

After he found out the reason why Li Tieshan and Li Shanhe were here, he stated, "Yunhai has never lost a single match, I will review this again tomorrow."

In fact, he actually liked Li Yunhai more. As an Earth Realm practitioner, he understood how demanding it was to make a breakthrough to the Earth Realm. He had a 2-star bone skeleton, and had stayed at the ninth level of the Origin Realm for 10 years. If he had a normal bone skeleton, the ninth level of the Origin Realm might be the limit of his cultivation.

"Thank you, Founder."

Li Tieshan looked pleased. With the words of Li Xuanfeng, this plan would have an 80% success rate%.

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

In the other room was Li Fuchen and his parents.

"Fuchen, with your abilities, getting into the top 5 is very possible, but don't be complacent now."

Even now, Li Tianhan's heart was pounding. Who could blame him, anyone who knew that their son would soon become a disciple of the Cang Lan Sect would definitely be happy.

"Dad, Mom, rest assured. I'll make it."

Li Fuchen was determined, he had yet to use the sixth rank Red Jade Technique.

With that, no one could withstand even a few of his blows, except Yang Kai.

The silent night passed quickly, as the second day arrived.

Flooded by people, the atmosphere in the arena woke up.

"The Genius contest will now continue." Shen Tu Jianhe announced.

In the fourth round, Li Fuchen capitalized on the momentum yesterday and defeated his opponent without any surprise.

Li Yunhai did not enjoy the same luck, as he met North Korea's top ace, He Ping, in his fourth match.

"The Shallow River Slides!"

He Ping's fighting skills were not inferior to Yang Kai, and he had a good physical strength of 500 kg.

Li Yunhai practiced the Floating Sword Style, by bending his body and he executed one of the typical movements of the Floating Sword Style.

"The Eagle's Sky Attack!"

He Ping made use of his vast blazing experience, instantly rising up in the air and counterattacking.

Pfft!

An attack landed on Li Yunhai's chest. He nearly fainted due to the immense force behind his attack.

"He Ping is strong! He actually defeated Li Yunhai who had benefited from the Tempering Pool."

"Among those who were undoubtedly the first in fighting ability, with the small clan, He Ping was Zhu Hongxiu who was second in line. Defeating LI Yunhai was already within expectations."

Following after Guan Peng, Li Yunhai became the second seeded contestant to lose. This gave the hope embedded in the Tempering Pool was not an invincible seeded contestant. With such incredible fighting skills, one could still win against them.

Thus, three of the seeded contestants were defeated.

With the genius contest entering the sixth round, Li Yunhai fought the champion of the Shen Tu Clan, Shen Tu Jue.

Shen Tu Jue studied the Shao Yang Luo Technique. With a technique at the peak of the fourth rank, Shen Tu Jue's valiant Qi was one step higher than Yang Kai. How could Li Yunhai be his opponent? In just seven or eight steps, Li Yunhai was defeated by Shen Tu Jue.

On the pulpit, a smile appeared on Shen Tu Jianhe's face.

As the city lord of Yunwu City, he cultivated the middle-class, mystic-class Cang Lan Sect, the Red Fire Technique. But due to the sect rules that forbade the granting of sect Techniques was not passed to the Shen Tu Clan. The Shao Yang Luo technique was found outside of the sect. It had a total of nine ranks and once cultivated to the fourth rank, it would not lack strength when compared to the fifth rank high-yellow grade technique. The power of cultivator Shao Yang Luo hit the enemy with that, they would feel as if they were being scorched by fire techniques, the Red Fire Technique was extremely ferocious, once and would suffer unbearable suffering.

After being eliminated for winning only one match six rounds, each contestant was two and lost a total of five rounds.

Two months ago, Shen Tu Liang did not have the confidence to win against Li Fuchen, but that was before to the Tempering Pool and combat training.

"Victory is not determined by speaking." Li Fuchen said indifferently.

"Mart aleck, look how I smashed your teeth."

Circulating his Shao Yang Luo Technique, Shen Tu Liang's surroundings became rampant. With the heat coming out from the wooden sword, the sword looked slightly bent due to the mirage. No imagination can prepare you for the consequences of being scratched by this sword.

After seven or eight fights, Shen Tu Liang's sword was more dominant than his. His trajectory was extremely cunning and that made him not arrogant anymore. Li Fuchen was uncomfortable.

Li Fuchen used Shao Shang's Sword Style to deal with Shen Tu Liang.

With the Shao Shang Sword Style being incredible as well.physical strength, Li Fuchen's sword strength became 1000 kg compared to the other 700-800 kg. Even without the effects of the Tempering Pool, the explosive strength of Li Fuchen was no weaker than the seed stage, but not only did it not include the completion of his perfect sword Qi, the contestants.

"It's almost time."

Li Fuchen quickly increased the speed of his sword, and with a swing, an ear-piercing hum and pierced through the air. Without enough time to react, Shen Tu Liang was struck in the chest and fell from the arena.

"Shoppers!"

Shen Tu Jianhe smashed the teacup in his hand, with a pale face.

Defeating Shen Tu Liang, Li Fuchen shook his head. Too weak, be it his fundamentals or fighting skills, all his opponents were weak.

Until now, not using the sixth rank Red Jade Technique, he had not even displayed 70% of his abilities. That is, not even using the sixth rank Red Jade Technique, he was still able to pass it.

With the eighth round, Li Yunhai lost again, this time it was Zhu Hongxiu.

Zhu Hongxiu's physical strength was far from Li Yunhai, but his sword skill had almost reached the completion stage. With his vast sword Qi, exquisite swordplay, and incredible fighting skills, Li Yunhai could only stand in front of a dozen blows before stumbling from the arena.

Li Tieshan grew impatient with Li Yunhai's defeat of Zhu Hongxiu.

If Li Yunhai was a match, he would be eliminated. Except for He Ping, Shen Tu Jue, and Zhu Hongxiu, there were still many geniuses who could defeat Li Yunhai. People like Yang Kai and Li Fuchen; as well as Yang Hao and Shen Tu Liang who were on par with Li Yunhai, were threat tools. Whether Li Fuchen threw his match against Li Yunhai or not, would lose two more important keys.

"Founder." Li Tieshan was referring to Li Xuanfeng by his side.

Li Xuanfeng nodded.

"Tianhan, as the Family Head of the Li Clan, you need to ask that further will involve the future to think of greater interests. Thus, I ask for your understanding and determination to uphold it."

Li Xuanfeng spoke to Li Tianhan in a sincere and heavy tone.

"What does the Founder want to ask for?" Li Tianhan was confused.
