The sun was rising and the light was like a sword, covering the entire San Xiong City.
"I'm Hui Ziyue. I'm quite famous in San Xiong City." Said an old man with a goatee. His eyes were twinkling as he smiled. His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. His precise control of power was astonishing.
"Hui Ziyue doesn't belong to any group. He's a lone wolf. He had a fortuitous encounter in his early years. He's at the peak of the ninth True Martial Realm, but he's at the peak of the four-star level. He's even able to survive against a five-star cultivator. He's quite famous in San Xiong City." said Xia Tiechao to Chen Zong.
"I'm very honored to be invited to host the first Genius Competition." Huiziyue stroked his goatee and smiled, "There are many geniuses participating in this year's competition. I believe that we can leave a mark in the history of the Three Ferocious City and make a precedent for the following competitions. Our names will go down in history.
Hui Ziyue wasn't young anymore. He had already used up all his potential. Even if he had some fortuitous encounters, he couldn't advance any further. He only wanted fame. He didn't care about ordinary fame anymore. He just wanted to leave a mark in the history of San Xiong City.
As the host of the first Genius Competition, if he performed well enough, his name as the host would be remembered as well.
"Everyone, please look." Hui Ziyue pointed at the huge stone tablet next to the battle platform. "That's the San Xiong Battle Tablet. There's nothing on the back. It's reserved."
Everyone was curious about what reserved. Hui Ziyue explained again.
"The names of the five finalists of this year's competition will be engraved on the Three Perils Battle Tablet according to their ranking, so that future generations can see and remember them. The name of the first place is the biggest, and so on. The name of the fifth place is the smallest."
Many people's eyes lit up when they heard Hui Ziyue's explanation. Their breathing became rapid.
This was something they had never thought of.
Fame meant fame. It wasn't just fame, it was fame that would leave a mark in the history of San Xiong City.
The Three Ferocious City belonged to the three dynasties, but every year, many geniuses from the three dynasties would come here to train. If they saw the names on the monument, they would definitely remember them. When they returned to their respective dynasties, it was very likely that they would spread the news of what they had seen here. Imperceptibly, the names on the monument would be remembered by more people.
It would even attract more people to visit Triple Ferocious City and personally participate in the competition, making it better and better.
"I believe everyone can understand the meaning of this, so this old man won't say too much." Hui Ziyue smiled and said, "Now, this old man will explain the method of the first genius competition to everyone."
Everyone listened attentively.
"In this year's Genius Competition, five seats will be given to five geniuses." Huiziyue pointed to five tall and wide seats on one side. Each seat was carefully cast, with slightly different colors and styles.
From left to right, the first seat on the left gave people a feeling of grandeur, like the seat of a king. The second seat was very similar to the first one, but if one looked closely, one could still distinguish some differences. It was these differences that made the second seat seem to be second only to a king.
The third, fourth and fifth seats were all different.
"The five seats this year are Qing Chen, Chen Zong, Wu Zi Su, Lin Kui and Leng Ning. Please take your seats." Hui Ziyue said.
Qing Chen was the young man in green who had looked at Chen Zong. Wu Zi Su was the muscular young man from the Giant Axe Sect. Lin Kui was the skinny young man from the Black Light Sect. Leng Ning was the enchanting woman from the Shadow Mist Sect.
Qing Chen sat in the first seat. Many people were secretly surprised because almost no one had heard of his name before. Very few people knew about his cultivation and battle prowess.
However, to be able to sit in the first seat, his battle prowess was definitely not weak.
As for Chen Zong, the people of the Three Ferocious City were quite familiar with him. He had been in the limelight recently.
The last three were the geniuses who were carefully nurtured by the three first-rate forces. Their battle prowess was also extraordinary.
Most people were convinced, but there were also some who were not.
"I, Chi Changfeng, am not convinced by this arrangement." The genius of the Silver Light Dynasty, Chi Changfeng, took a step forward. His cold voice swept across the area like a spear wind.
"Little friend, why are you not convinced?" Hui Ziyue asked with a smile. He looked very gentle without any arrogance.
"Those three are not qualified to sit in the first seat." Chi Changfeng pointed at Wu Zisu and the other two with a cold smile on his face, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Immediately, Wu Zisu and the other two's expressions changed drastically, especially the bad-tempered Lin Kuang. Killing intent filled his eyes.
"Since Changfeng is not convinced, why don't we have a battle to determine the five seats." The Silver Light Envoy said with a smile.
Hui Ziyue looked at the three first-rate forces, where the three patriarchs were.
The three patriarchs nodded in unison.
"Fine. Since you are not convinced, you can choose one to challenge. If you defeat him, you will be ranked in the first five seats." Hui Ziyue said.
"I'll teach him a lesson." Lin Kui stood up and hooked his finger at Chi Changfeng. His face was full of contempt. "Come, I'll let you know what it means to be powerful."
"With just you?" Chi Changfeng smiled contemptuously. He was a very arrogant person. Not only was he arrogant in his bones, but he was also arrogant on the surface. His contemptuous expression and tone made Lin Kui furious.
Lin Kui's figure flashed and he turned into a shadow. He was extremely fast and rushed towards Chi Changfeng. His hands touched his waist and he pulled out a pair of black daggers. He cut through the air and brought out two faint white streaks. He stabbed towards Chi Changfeng in a strange way from his blind spot.
This attack was merciless and he fully displayed his five-star battle prowess.
However, Chi Changfeng did not move, nor did he pull out the weapon on his back. He only had a faint smile on his face. The contempt in his smile was very clear.
Lin Kui became more and more furious.
Just as Lin Kui's daggers were about to pierce Chi Changfeng's body, Chi Changfeng moved. He flicked his finger and a dazzling silver light burst out. It was like a silver spear piercing through the sky. It was extremely sharp and indomitable, as if nothing could stop it.
It seemed to be slow but it was actually fast.
The finger pierced through the void like a spear and touched the tip of the two daggers almost at the same time. There seemed to be a sound of metal clashing.
Lin Kui's face suddenly changed. He only felt two irresistible forces rushing towards him through the daggers. In an instant, his Qi and blood dissipated. Then, the internal force in his body was also destroyed. His body trembled unconsciously as if he had lost all resistance.
With a boom, Lin Kui was sent flying. He flew over the seats at an even faster speed and landed in the distance.
On the side of the Black Light Sect, an elder gently waved his sleeve and a gentle force spread out. He supported Lin Kui's body and landed safely.
Lin Kui's face was pale. On one hand, it was because his body had been damaged by a powerful force. On the other hand, it was because he was shocked.
He never thought that this person's battle strength would be so terrifying. Without using a weapon, he defeated him with just a finger and injured him.
This kind of battle strength was definitely not at the level of a five-star.
Six-star battle strength?
Among the crowd, several people's eyes flashed. Qing Chen, who was in the first seat, also looked at Chi Changfeng.
"Since little friend has defeated Lin Kui, you can take his seat." Hui Ziyue said, but his heart was filled with shock.
Chi Changfeng didn't say a word. He leaped into the air like a long spear and landed on the seat.
Wu Zisu and Leng Ning had extremely heavy expressions on their faces. Initially, they'd thought that with their five-star battle prowess, they'd be able to defend their seats without any problems. Who would've thought that before the competition had even begun, such a terrifying character would appear?
"Alright, is there anyone else who has any objections? If there are no objections, the competition will start now. "Hui Ziyue's gaze swept across the crowd and said slowly.
"Yes." Xiao Mingjin suddenly spoke up. "I also want a seat."
"Then you can challenge him." Hui Ziyue said after a slight pause.
"Okay." Xiao Mingjin laughed and glanced at him. "Under normal circumstances, I don't fight with women. So I choose you."
As he spoke, Xiao Mingjin pointed at Wu Zisu.
Wu Zisu stood up with a gloomy expression, and his body was suffused with a dense and heavy fluctuation of aura. The incident with Lin Kuang from before allowed Wu Zisu and the others to realize that the Genius Competition this year would probably not be as simple as they'd thought. There would be many variables that would appear, so they had to prepare with all their might.
Wu Zisu unsheathed the Earth Splitting Axe on his back. A tyrannical aura spread out.
"Take my axe!" With a shout, Wu Zisu's legs exerted force. With a boom, his entire body soared into the sky, drawing an arc in the air. It was like a thunderbolt, ruthlessly chopping down. The light from this axe was so strong that people couldn't look at it directly. It was as if it could split the earth.
Xiao Mingjin was right under the huge axe. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
The moment the huge axe chopped down, Xiao Mingjin moved. He also didn't use a weapon. He poured his powerful internal strength into his palm and slapped towards the sky.
The wind from his palm whistled and turned into a roaring sound. His palm seemed to expand in the wind. It quickly became the size of a millstone. As it rotated slightly, it emitted a horrifying aura.
"Another six-star warrior!" The Genuine Martial Realm experts from the three top forces were all surprised.
Under Xiao Mingjin's palm, the light of the giant axe that was chopping down was directly shattered. Wu Zisu could clearly feel an extremely tyrannical power that was unstoppable as it bombarded him. It passed through the small Earth Splitting Axe and directly bombarded his body.
Crack, crack. His bones seemed to have broken under the horrifying power of that palm. His internal strength collapsed and his Qi and blood surged. Wu Zisu was thrown into the air. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He had already suffered internal injuries.
He fell into the distance and was caught by the elders of the Huge Axe Sect. His injuries didn't worsen, but his whole body was sore and uncomfortable. He was extremely shocked.
