Chapter 17
C17 – The Competition Began
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding disciples were shocked and looked in the direction that Qi Liang was pointing at.
Ruan Xiude was known as the number one genius of the Dirtwich City, and he had surpassed all of them. Thus, they were very concerned about him.
“He is very strong!”
The number one genius of the Huo family, Huo Qianhe, said with a serious expression.
He could not tell if Ruan Xiude had broken through to the Enlightenment Stage or not.
However, he could feel a threat from Ruan Xiude just by looking at him from afar.
He did not dare to underestimate Ruan Xiude anymore.
Ruan Xiude was indeed capable.
“Who is Ruan Xiude?”
At this moment, a puzzled voice sounded.
The surrounding disciples looked at the person who spoke with strange expressions.
“Deng Kai, Ruan Xiude has taken away your title as the number one genius of the Dirtwich City. Don’t you know him?”
Qi Liang looked at Deng Kai with a strange expression and said.
Deng Kai did not respond. He also looked at Ruan Xiude, who was among the Ruan family.
He naturally knew Ruan Xiude, and he even knew Ruan Xiude very well.
Ruan Xiude’s reputation had already spread throughout the entire Dirtwich City.
Moreover, he had obtained Ruan Xiude’s portrait and all sorts of information about him.
Before Ruan Xiude, the four great geniuses of the Dirtwich City had been on par with each other.
Ruan Xiude was known as the head of the four great geniuses, and he was also the number one genius of the Dirtwich city.
However, Ruan Xiude, who was at the seventh layer of Body Refining, defeated Ruan Huan, who was at the peak of the ninth layer of Body Refining.
Ruan Xiude had become the number one genius of the Ruan family.
He had even become the new number one genius of the Dirtwich City.
He had surpassed their original Four Major Geniuses.
Deng Kai had long since paid attention to him.
The rise of Ruan Xiude had brought a great sense of crisis to the Lord’s Mansion.
He had also obtained a large amount of cultivation resources.
In this half a month, he could not help but smoothly break through to the Enlightenment Stage, and he had even broken through five acupuncture points in a row.
In the early period of the Enlightenment Stage, he could be considered an expert.
At this moment, there was a complicated expression on Deng Kai’s face.
At this moment, when Deng Kai saw Ruan Xiude, he could not help but have a solemn expression.
Similarly, he could also sense that Ruan Xiude was a powerful enemy.
However, even though Ruan Xiude was famous and had extraordinary talent, he still had great confidence in the Four Major Forces Competition this time.
Because his family had recently given him an incomplete martial arts called Boiling Blood Technique.
Although this martial arts was only at the second rank, it allowed him to boil his Vitality to exchange for his strength.
With his Vitality, if he used the Boiling Blood Technique, he could reach the late period of the Enlightenment Stage and temporarily break through more than fifty acupuncture points.
Even though Ruan Xiude was very talented, it was already not bad for him to break through to the Enlightenment Stage in half a month. It was impossible for him to have the strength of the late period of the Enlightenment stage.
Of course, as a martial arts of the Crimson, the Boiling Blood Technique was powerful, but its weakness was also very serious.
He needed a large amount of pills and spirit medicines to replenish his Vitality. Furthermore, he would need to lie in bed for more than a month.
However, if he could win the competition.
This amount of damage was nothing.
Under Ruan Rui’s lead, the Ruan family walked into the plaza.
Very quickly, the people from the Lord’s Mansion came up to them and arranged for the Ruan family to stay.
There were two stands around the plaza.
On the eastern stand were the people from the Four Major Forces.
On the western stand were the people from the other forces of the Dirtwich City.
Outside the plaza, there was a dense crowd.
This world where martial arts were revered was still in the traditional feudal era.
There were very few ways to entertain oneself.
And the Four Major Forces Competition was the biggest event in the Dirtwich City.
A large number of martial artists purchased tickets to watch the competition.
Many people could only stand outside the plaza and watch.
On the eastern stand, there was also a high platform.
The martial artists from the Drifting Cloud Sect who were here to recruit disciples and the strongest of the Four Major Forces were sitting on the platform. They were the judges of the competition.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the surprise energy of Qi Gathering Stage warrior, Deng Jing.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining surprise energy of the Enlightenment Stage martial artist, Lan Kai.”
On the eastern stand.
Ruan Xiude was sitting on a seat, holding hands with Ruan Yueya.
He saw the energy points increase at a faster rate, and his eyes flashed with joy.
Such a big scene was the best.
He had just come here and he could already obtain so many energy points.
After that, Ruan Xiude looked around the entire plaza.
As his gaze swept across the plaza, many attribute panels appeared in front of him.
Although he was very confident in this competition.
However, he still wanted to observe the situation of the other people in case of any accidents.
Very quickly, disappointment appeared in Ruan Xiude’s eyes.
Among the other three major forces, there were only three disciples who had broken through to the Enlightenment Stage.
The only one who could barely consolidate his cultivation was the number one genius of the Lord’s Mansion, Deng Kai.
The other two had not even consolidated their cultivation. Their auras were unstable, and it was obvious that they had just broken through not long ago.
They were not a threat to him at all.
He should have no opponents in this competition.
After that, Ruan Xiude looked at the other martial artists.
This time, his target was the upper echelons of the major forces who had treasures on them.
Not long after, Ruan Xiude retracted his gaze. He was very disappointed.
After duplicating Ruan Yongsi’s attribute panel, he had already leveled up to the same level as Ruan Yongsi. Other than his cultivation being lower than his, there was nothing else.
None of the higher-ups of the major forces could compare to Ruan Yongsi.
Their abilities were not worth him wasting his energy points to duplicate them.
Fortunately, he did not waste his time this time.
At least, he discovered that the martial artist who was responsible for recruiting disciples in the Drifting Cloud Sect, Bai De, was at the early period of the Condensation Spin Stage. His attribute panel was a bit stronger than Ruan Rui’s.
However, his cultivation was too low, so his range of duplication could only be within ten meters.
The high platform was obviously outside this range.
He could only wait for the right time.
Of course, he would still play his part in this competition.
This was the opportunity for him to obtain energy points. He could only wait for the right time.
No one knew what Ruan Xiude was thinking.
“Brother Ruan, what’s wrong?”
Ruan Yueya’s gentle voice sounded.
“It’s nothing.”
Ruan Xiude smiled faintly.
He and Ruan Yueya began to chat.
Time slowly passed.
Another ten minutes passed.
The bright sunlight shone down from the sky. It was time.
Sitting on the second seat, the City Lord of Dirtwich, Deng Chun, stood up and looked around the entire audience: “Silence!”
The Qi of the Qi Transformation Stage slowly spread out.
Instantly, the entire arena quieted down.
Their gazes gathered on the stage.
Deng Chun then continued, “I announce that the Four Major Forces Competition has now begun!”
