Unfortunately, although this youth from the Li family had the determination to fight Gu Yucheng to the death, he did not have the ability to do so.
Not long after, Gu Yucheng sent him flying with a kick and eliminated him from the competition.
As both sides were finishing up, Qin Yi's lips curled into a faint smile. "It seems that the White Jade Scarlet Sun Pill wasn't wasted."
Gu Yucheng's strength was not weak to begin with.
After consuming the White Jade Scarlet Sun Pill that Qin Yi had given him, his strength had skyrocketed.
In a short five days, his cultivation had risen from the initial stage of the Divine Reflection Realm to the peak stage.
The most direct observation of the increase in one's cultivation was the increase in one's strength.
Moreover, Tao Nianyan had clearly taught him a good lesson in the past few days.
Compared to before, he was much more reserved and calm. Although he had defeated the genius from the Li family, he did not reveal much of his strength. Without a doubt, this was good news.
As long as he maintained a sense of mystery, his opponent would be fearful, and he would have the upper hand when he made his move!
After Gu Yucheng's battle, it was naturally the turn of the genius from the Li family.
The number one genius of the Li family was a youth called Li Zhenghao.
He looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, which was considered one of the older ones among the people present.
From the energy waves circulating around his body, it could be seen that he had reached the Eternal Heaven Realm!
However, at first glance, Qin Yi did not think highly of him.
Although reaching this level at such a young age meant that his talent was not too bad.
However, from his eyes, Qin Yi could not see much fighting spirit.
He gave Qin Yi the feeling that he was a good-for-nothing who was prepared to rely on the glory of his family to live the rest of his life.
Most importantly, his expression was somewhat lifeless, as if he was not willing to think at all, and only wanted others to give him advice, and then he would do as they said.
Compared to the people before him, Li Zhenghao's luck was not too good.
The first three fellows, including Gu Yucheng, could easily defeat their opponents in the first round of the duels without any pressure.
But he was different. This time, his opponent was none other than the number one genius of the Xiao family — Xiao Haokong!
Although the Xiao Family's ranking was far behind that of the Li Family, Xiao Haokong's power was not something that could be replaced by a family's ranking.
In the circle of peers, Xiao Haokong's strength was definitely much higher than Li Zhenghao's. Some even said that his strength was on par with Shi Fei Yu.
It was precisely because of this that Li Zhenghao's mood was really bad when he first saw the distribution of opponents.
He did not think that he was a match for Xiao Haokong. Originally, when he saw the opponents assigned to the first few people, he was quite excited.
Originally, he could have been eliminated in the first round, but inexplicably received support and help, allowing him to smoothly make it to the second round.
At first, he thought that he could still rely on his luck to advance to the next round. He did not expect that when he saw the name of his opponent, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe. He was instantly dumbfounded.
If not for his father stopping him, he would have cursed long ago.
The battle had not yet begun, but Li Zhenghao's state was already off.
After both parties went on stage, the sharp-eyed Xiao Haokong immediately saw through his current mood.
After the start of the battle was announced, neither Xiao Haokong nor Li Zhenghao took the initiative to attack.
In contrast to Li Zhenghao's fear and nervousness, Xiao Haokong had a calm smile on his face. When he looked at Li Zhenghao, it was as if he was looking at a good friend. There was no hostility at all.
After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Brother Li, why haven't you attacked yet?"
When Li Zhenghao heard this, his entire face suddenly turned the color of a pig's liver. He hurriedly said, "I … I … I was thinking about how to defeat you!"
How could Xiao Haokong not tell that this guy was trying to cover up his fear of him?
If it had been anyone else, perhaps they would have already launched an attack, ignited the flames of battle, and used all their strength to defeat the other party.
This way, they would have given the other party some face and would not have to suffer on stage.
However, it was obvious that Xiao Haokong was deliberately provoking the other party. After asking this question, he actually did not speak again. Instead, he stood where he was, as if looking down at the other party, his eyes filled with sympathy.
At this moment, Li Zhenghao became even more nervous.
It was precisely because of Xiao Haokong's question that he became even more embarrassed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was currently fidgeting on the stage.
Most importantly, after Xiao Haokong asked him this question, he actually ignored him. Halfway through his sentence, his nervousness, which had just been alleviated with great difficulty, was instantly aroused again.
At this moment, the people below the stage began to discuss spiritedly when they saw Li Zhenghao's appearance.
"What the hell is Li Zhenghao doing?"
"If you want to fight, just fight. What kind of man are you to dilly-dally?"
"That's right! He's already so old, yet he's still so timid. You've really broadened my horizons! "
...
The crowd's mocking voices did not arouse Li Zhenghao's courage. Instead, it made him even more nervous.
The smile on Xiao Haokong's face became even more demonic. He knew that Li Zhenghao was on the verge of collapse. He immediately said, "Brother Li, what do you think now? Have you already found a way to defeat me? "
"I … I …"
Under the enormous pressure, Li Zhenghao's gaze appeared somewhat slack as perspiration flowed down his face and slowly dripped down.
"Give up, Brother Li."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiao Haokong finally said, "You are no match for me. Moreover, you have lost all your fighting spirit. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid you will lose even more miserably! The Xiao clan has always respected the Li clan, so I don't want to make things too ugly. You should just surrender. "
Xiao Haokong had really played a good game of chess. With a few words, he had completely extinguished Li Zhenghao's fighting spirit.
