When they first met, Qu Feng didnât really pay attention to Li Fuchen. But now, he had treated Li Fuchen as a formidable foe.
If Qu Feng used his regular strength, he would never be a match for Li Fuchen.
It was excessively difficult to cultivate an earth class high-tier martial art to the trance stage. He thought highly of himself but he was only able to cultivate an earth class mid-tier martial art to the trance stage and comprehend the earth class mid-tier intent.
But not everyoneâs perception was as insane as Ling Yijian or Bai Lingshuang.
As for Li Fuchen, everyone believed that he had the no.1 perception of this yearâs Ranking Tournament.
After all, Li Fuchen was much younger than Ling Yijian and Bai Lingshuang.
Qu Feng knew that his regular strength wasnât comparable to Li Fuchen, hence, he immediately executed his wind flame divine ability, Wind Flame Great Disc.
Huff Huff Huff!
In front of Qu Feng, a giant flaming disc appeared and was it was howling. The revolutions were rapid and it contained wind flame law.
âGo!â
Qu Feng pointed and the Wind Flame Great Disc swiftly enlarged and was blasted at Li Fuchen.
After seeing Qu Fengâs wind flame divine ability, even Yang Shihuo and Li Kuang were rather apprehensive.
Their divine abilitiesâ lethal power were superior to Qu Fengâs divine ability but their defense didnât reach the stage that allowed them to block the attack.
Once anyone suffered any divine ability attack, most of them would be injured and lost combat ability.
Of course, most of the divine abilities wouldnât be able to hit them as they would normally be able to dodge it in advance or neutralize it.
But Qu Fengâs wind flame divine ability was rather special. The divine ability contained both the laws of flame dao and wind dao. Even if it was split apart or shattered, the flame dao law and wind dao law would still absorb the surrounding wind flame power to attack the opponent.
As compared to a single law, the fused wind flame law was obviously harder to neutralize.
âIf you have awakened a special divine ability, I might be a little apprehensive. It is a pity that it is only the wind flame divine ability.â
The wind flame divine ability was just slightly stronger than normal extraordinary divine ability. It was true that the wind dao law and the flame dao law would complement one another, but that was only the case. But each individual law wasnât developed enough.
If the Wind Flame Great Discâs wind dao law and flame dao law were separated, it was obviously inferior to other extraordinary divine abilities.
As for the bonding of the wind flame law, Li Fuchen had already observed it during Qu Fengâs previous fights.
It might be difficult for others to destroy the wind flame law, but it was easy for Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchenâs Green Sun Sword Intent was actually considered a field-type sword art.
When Li Fuchen brandished his sword, as long as the power was sufficient, he could control the limit of the lethality as he desired.
When talking, Li Fuchen cleaved with his sword and split the Wind Flame Great Disc into two.
After getting split, the Wind Flame Great Disc didnât collapse and was simply split into two smaller Wind Flame Great Discs.
Li Fuchen had the intention to test the limits of the Wind Flame Great Disc. He executed dozens of slashes and split the Wind Flame Great Disc into dozens of smaller discs.
The dozens of Wind Flame Great Discs continued to fly over and it took just a blink of the eye.
Qu Feng revealed a smile. His Wind Flame Great Disc wasnât a regular extraordinary divine ability. The power was secondary, it was primarily hard to destroy. Qu Feng was confident he could even defeat special divine abilities.
âIt is over.â Qu Feng said silently.
Just as the thought flashed in Qu Fengâs mind, there was a burst of resplendent green sword light that filled up the entire contest stage.
As the green sword light burst out, all of the Wind Flame Great Discs were disintegrated and had vanished.
Pfff!
Qu Feng felt he was smashed by a scorching air, causing his body to nearly collapse. He was launched off the contest stage.
In the VIP seats, Meng Chihang said slowly, âThe Green Sun Sword Intent is the sword art with the least flaws.â
Lin Zhubai smiled and said, âDean Liu Huoâs face is already turning green.â
On the other side of the VIP seats, Liu Huoâs face was indeed green. His Scarlet Tiger Martial Institutionâs seeded contestant had actually lost to the South Forest Martial Institutionâs seeded contestant in a single sword. It was the same as slapping his face.

âViolent Storm!â
âBerserk Beast!â
On another contest stage, Yang Shihuo and Li Kuangâs match had just started.
Yang Shihuaâs spear dao divine ability was called Violent Storm.
As of now, no one was able to receive more than one move of his spear dao divine ability.
On the opposite side, Li Kuang had also activated the berserk divine ability.
His body expanded significantly. He was already two meters tall but had instantly increased to two and a half meters. He had scarlet eyes and a body that was covered with twisted patterns. It made Li Kuang look like a human-shaped fierce and wild beast, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling.
Instinctively, Li Kuang dodged that sharp storm formed by entirely by the spear radiance.
Huff!
Li Kuang then clawed at Yang Shihuo.
âGet lost!â
Yang Shihuo used the golden spear to send Li Kuang flying.
Yang Shihuoâs Violet Storm was similar to Li Fuchenâs Heart of Blazing Flame. It could be released in any shape and form.
But Li Kuangâs body toughness and the recovery rate was extremely irregular. The wounds on his body were quickly regenerated.
âThe spear dao divine ability is indeed incredible.â
Li Kuang licked his lips while his bloodthirsty eyes retracted a little.
âYou are not a match for me. You better admit defeat now.â
Yang Shihuo thrust his spear at Li Kuang. The spear storm was like a highly condensed tornado.
Swish!
When in the berserk state, Li Kuangâs reaction speed and movement speed were shockingly fast. In just a bounce, it felt as though he had teleported. He was able to move at high speed in any form or stance, giving off an illusion that he had defied the human body structure.
âDefeat!â
Li Kuang arrived behind Yang Shihuo and clawed again.
âI mentioned it earlier, you are not a match for me.â
With Yang Shihuo in the middle, a circle of spear storm radiated out and stopped Li Kuang for an instant.
This instant was enough for Yang Shihuo to counterattack.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yang Shihuo turned around and thrust his spear on Li Kuang.
Pfff!
Li Kuangâs chest was opened up with a bloody hole while he was sent flying.
Be it cultivation level or divine ability level, Yang Shihuo was slightly superior to Li Kuang. As such, Li Kuangâs defeat was inevitable.
Round 27.
âContest stage no.1: No.3 Lan Feiâer will go against No.5 Shentu Qing.â
âContest stage no.3: No.15 Li Fuchen will go gainst No.18 Li Kuang.â
âContest stage no.7: No.1 Ling Yijian will go gainst No.4 Wang Hao.â
At round 27, there were three elite battles.
First, it was the battle between Lan Feiâer and Shentu Qing.
Lan Feiâer possessed the 6-star saber dao bone frame and wasnât inferior to Yang Shihuo.
Shentu Qing was the Evergreen Martial Institutionâs seeded contestant. He had awakened the greenwood divine ability, Winding Wood Spirit Body. This divine ability didnât just increase his strength, it also allowed the body to recover at an increased speed of ten or a few dozen times. Unless all the greenwood power was exhausted, it was very difficult to injure him.
When facing such an opponent, Lan Feiâer didnât dare to be careless and had no choice but to constantly probe.
Different from the contest stage no.1, Li Fuchen and Li Kuang were in an intense battle once they came on stage.
To be precise, Li Kuang immediately activated the berserk divine ability to attack Li Fuchen in a frenzy.
Everyone was astonished as Li Kuang was defeated very quickly and lasted for a mere three sword attacks.
The berserk divine ability allowed Li Kuang to move at inhuman speed. Even Yang Shihuo had to grasp an opportunity in order to defeat Li Kuang.
But to Li Fuchen, Li Kuangâs every move was within Li Fuchenâs sight.
For the first sword, Li Fuchen opened up a shallow wound on Li Kuangâs body.
For the second sword, Li Fuchen opened up a wound that was half a finger deep.
For the third sword, Li Fuchen nearly opened up Li Kuangâs chest.
Everyone could see that Li Fuchenâs sword art attack would increase along with the strength of the opponent. Li Kuangâs defense was definitely superior to Wang Jian who ha the Vajra Barrier. But Li Kuang was still unable to withstand the lethal power of Li Fuchenâs sword attack.
The contest stage no.7 was even duller.
Ling Yijian used a single sword to settle the ranked 4th Roaming Dragon Martial Institutionâs seeded contestant, Wang Hao.
Wang Haoâs strength was at least the top ten in this yearâs Ranking Tournament.
Finally, Lan Feiâer and Shentu Qingâs match had also concluded.
After exhausting 10% of his greenwood power, Shentu Qing had to admit defeat. If he persisted, he would be wasting his greenwood power and wouldnât have a chance to continue the tournament.
Round 30...
Li Fuchen encountered Lan Feiâer.
Lan Feiâerâs strength was almost at the top five.
There were only a few individuals who were superior to her or on par with her. Those people were Bai Lingshuang, Ling Yijian, Yang Shihuo, Cui Rongguang, and Li Fuchen.
âIllusion Saber Sea!â
Lan Feiâerâs saber dao divine ability was extremely powerful and it was an extremely rare offensive field-type divine ability.
As for Wang Heilongâs Darkness Sky Canopy, it was purely a field-type divine ability.
It was hard to say which type was stronger, but in terms of potential, the Darkness Sky Canopy should be superior.
The illusionary saber light descended and filled up the entire stage. Immediately after, the saber light rotated and constantly sliced at Li Fuchen.
âIt is time to expose one of my trump cards.â
Li Fuchenâs body burst out with horrifically resplendent and invisible power. The pressure from the invisible power had weakened the Illusion Saber Sea.
âEarth class mid-tier cultivation technique intent!â
Lan Feiâerâs face changed.
She should have expected that since Li Fuchen was able to comprehend the earth class high-tier sword intent, he must have also comprehended the earth class mid-tier cultivation technique intent.
After all, the earth class mid-tier technique intent might be much harder to comprehend than earth class mid-tier sword intent, the earth class high-tier sword intent was still much more difficult to comprehend.
âI have already cultivated the Ardent Sun Divine Technique to the extremity. I can go to the Red Rainbow Sect to redeem a new cultivation technique.â
Now that more than 90% of his spirit soul had turned pale purple, Li Fuchenâs perception was much more extraordinary. Three months ago, he had already cultivated the Ardent Sun Divine Technique to the 27th rank and comprehended the Ardent Sun Divine Technique Intent.
With the pressure from the Ardent Sun Divine Technique Intent, Li Fuchen wasnât so affected by the Illusion Saber Sea. He brandished his sword and clashed with the Illusion Saber Sea by using the dazzling green sword light.
Lan Feiâerâs forehead was secreting beads of sweat as she did her best to control the Illusion Saber Sea to suppress Li Fuchen.
âBreak!â
A sword scar was left on the Illusion Saber Sea while Lan Feiâer vomited blood and took a few steps back.
Immediately after, the Illusion Saber Sea had crumbled.
âSuch strength!â
Below the stage, Cui Rongguangâs eyes had contracted.
His Water Clone might be very unique and was able to contest with special divine abilities, but he believed that he wouldnât have more than 20% of chances to defeat Lan Feiâer. He didnât have a choice as the Water Clone was ultimately a soft water divine ability and there was an innate difference.
But Li Fuchen had actually defeated Lan Feiâer without using the divine ability. This had already broken the rule of invincible divine abilities.
With overwhelming perception like Li Fuchen, perhaps it wasnât really important to have divine abilities.
