Chapter 279: No.1 Direct Disciple

Translator: jinzeffect

Because of his formidable awareness, it allowed Li Fuchen to effortlessly see through Li Xiangru’s sword art’s flaw. Apart from that, Li Xiangru’s Torrent Sword intent was just at the initial stage, while Li Fuchen’s Blaze Devil Sword intent was already at the matured stage. When all these factors were placed together, it was enough to cover up the gap of three levels.

“Eh?”

Li Xiangru’s brows were raised. He who was a maniac for the sword knew that Li Fuchen’s every blade was targeting his sword art’s flaw and it was outrageous.

Li Xiangru felt he was confident enough that his sword art’s flaw wouldn’t be seen through even by a Heaven Realm martial artist.

“Is this the reason why he was accepted as a personal disciple under the first Mystic Martial Expert?” Li Xiangru immediately recalled there was a test of awareness in the tests of the Mystic Martial Hidden Domain. It was obvious that Li Fuchen’s awareness had already reached insane levels.

Li Fuchen awareness was much more horrific than Li Xiangru had imagined. But no matter how horrific Li Fuchen’s awareness was, his body must be able to keep up. Li Fuchen’s body was currently unable to keep up with his powerful awareness, otherwise, he would only need a single blade to defeat Li Xiangru.

“Sea Surging Torrent!”

Li Xiangru burst forth with the finishing move of the Torrent Sword Art. The intense sword qi was just like a long river with rapid flow, slashing at Li Fuchen from various angles.

“Blaze Devil Killer Shadow!”

A scarlet red shadow burst out, as Li Fuchen executed the finishing move of the Blaze Devil Sword Art.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

As the sword qis clashed together, it gave off a terrifying shockwave which caused the tournament stage to fall apart.

“Too powerful. Just the sword qi shockwave is enough to shatter my bones.” A direct disciple was flabbergasted.

On a protruding piece of wreckage on the tournament stage, Li Fuchen was standing straight while facing the wind. His qi presence might not be as boundless as Sword Maniac’s, but it was filled with an exceptionally severe intent.

On another piece of shorter wreckage, Li Xiangru stood on it as there was blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth. In this clash of finishing moves, he was on the losing side. Li Fuchen’s awareness was too acute and his sword qi penetrated at all flaws, forcefully breaking through Li Xiangru’s defenses.

After seeing this scene, everyone knew that Li Fuchen had taken the upper hand.

At this moment, everyone felt a surge in their emotions, as though they were seeing a king of the sword. The rise of a powerful force which no one could obstruct.

“A new legend has been born.” Chen Fanghua muttered.

In the past, Sword Maniac Li Xiangru was a legend. Right now, Li Fuchen was the new legend.

“He is… too dazzling.” Wu Qingmei spoke in a soft voice.

Gao Changtian nodded. It was true, Li Fuchen’s sudden emergence was too rapid and violent, so much that they didn’t even know how to express their feelings.

Everyone could still remember the time when they were still at the same level.

Unknowingly, Li Fuchen had surpassed everyone and stepped onto the peak by himself.

It was a miserable thing to be his enemy, while it was an agony to be his friend. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

How could anyone be his enemy or friend, if they weren’t able to keep up with his pace?

Even if they were friends, they would probably be regular friends or acquaintances.

‘It is lonely at the top.’ A true expert was always in solitude.

They wondered if Li Fuchen had tasted this kind of solitude.

“If this child is a 5-star bone frame when he reaches his prime, he will be invincible in the East Unicorn Continent.” The most senior Supreme Elder was exclaiming in admiration and feeling pity at the same time.

Ae 1-star bone frame was ultimately too weak. Furthermore, with such perception to complement a 5-star bone frame, wouldn’t it be like adding wings to a tiger?

Ouyang Wentian said, “Perhaps some miracle might happen to him.”

In the East Unicorn Continent, since ancient times, no one had ever heard of a 1-star bone frame who was able to attain the Reincarnation Realm. Perhaps only in the era when the absolute experts were still around. There was once where this 3-star bone frame attained the Reincarnation Realm, but it was rumored that the individual obtained a heaven-defying fated encounter.

Listening to the two superiors, Zhao Wujin spoke in his heart, ‘Li Fuchen, how far are you exactly able to go?’

On the shattered tournament stage, Li Fuchen and Li Xiangru clashed again.

This time, Li Fuchen demonstrated even more dominance because he used his maneuvers.

In terms of sword dao, Li Xiangru was extremely close to Li Fuchen, but in the other martial dao, Li Xiangru wasn’t just one level inferior to Li Fuchen.

After over ten moves, Li Xiangru vomited blood and backed off. Under the severe attacks from Li Fuchen, it was already praiseworthy for him to withstand so many moves.

“Let us end this fight here! Victor, Li Fuchen.”

With Ouyang Wentian’s hint, Zhao Wujin stood up an declared.

Be it Li Fuchen or Li Xiangru, they were both the main forces of the Azure Water Sect in the Stars Ranking Tournament. It wouldn’t be good for anyone of them to be injured.

But it was obvious to them that Li Xiangru had already gone all out, while Li Fuchen still had the strength to spare. Li Fuchen probably still had some hidden trumps.

“Li Fuchen shixiong won.”

“Becoming the sect’s no.1 direct disciple at the age of 20. This is unprecedented.”

“I am already 30 and I am still an inner sect disciple. It is really so infuriating to compare with another person.

There was a huge uproar in the audience stand.

20 years old was the age where an outer sect disciple was normally promoted to an inner sect disciple. If one wasn’t able to promote to an inner sect disciple by the age of 20, they would never be able to become an inner sect disciple. But Li Fuchen actually became the no.1 direct disciple at the age of 20.

In the subsequent part of the tournament, Li Fuchen defeated Xue Feng. Chen Yuanhu defeated Bu Qingsong, and Li Xiangru defeated Bu Qingsong.

As such, the top four had been selected.

They were Li Fuchen, Li Xiangru, Chen Yuanhu, and Xue Feng.

The top two were Li Fuchen and Li Xiangru.

“These two star stones are your rewards. Use them to your benefits.” Once the sect selection tournament was over, Zhao Wujin waved his hand and shot one piece of star stone to Li Fuchen and Li Xiangru each.

After receiving the star stone, Li Fuchen and Li Xiangru bowed with cupped hands to express their gratitude.

The star stone was extremely mysterious and no matter where they were, once it was crushed, they would be teleported into the Star Road Hidden Domain. It wasn’t restricted by space or terrain.

Time went by and three days had passed since the sect selection tournament

During these three days, everyone in every corner was discussing the sect selection tournament that had ended.

No.1 direct disciple, Li Fuchen.

Sword Demon, Li Fuchen.

Azure Water Sword Child, Li Fuchen.

All the topics of discussion were naturally focused on Li Fuchen.

Rumors would never be as decisive as witnessing it first hand. No matter how brilliant Li Fuchen was on the outside, they were all just hearsays. No one knew if there was any exaggerating parts and it was ultimately much better to trust one’s own eyes.

At the same time, the Heaven Fiend Sect, Spirit Hidden Sect, and Violent Saber Sect had all ended their sect selection tournaments.

Similar to the Azure Water Sect, the three sects had four slots respectively.

Among the selected four of the Heaven Fiend Sect, Yan Qingwu was in it.

Furthermore, Yan Qingwu had the same achievement as Li Fuchen, breaking the Heaven Fiend Sect’s record and becoming the Heaven Fiend Sect’s youngest no.1 direct disciple.

Comparatively, Yan Qingwu was even younger as she was only 18 years old.

At any moment, a 6-star bone frame had the highest convincing ability.

If any sect was to make a choice between Li Fuchen or a 6-star bone frame, a majority of them would pick the 6-star bone frame.

***

It was already late into the night. Li Fuchen crushed the star stone in his hand and instantly entered the Star Road Hidden Domain.

Right now, the only thing that was restricting him, was time and cultivation.

Time was something that no one had control over, but there were plenty of ways to cover up for the lack of cultivation.

The Star Road Hidden Domain was undoubtedly the best method without any side effects.

“I wonder to which stage I can reach on the star road this time?”

Standing on the first segment of the star road, Li Fuchen looked into the distance and pondered in his heart.
