Pill God Returns

After the first round of preliminaries, the majority of the people were eliminated. Thus, the second round of preliminaries had a relatively plentiful amount of time. The number of matches one could fight in a single morning had increased from two to six.

In the sixth round of the morning, Wu Chen had always been the victor. Amongst all the participants, other than the expert at Spirit Sea Stage, there had probably never been such a result.

"No one can stop Wu Chen's rise to prominence now. Even the ninety-seventh placed Ma Hong isn't as dazzling as him."

"Right now, other than the expert at Spirit Sea Stage, his results are the most dazzling. Everyone else has more or less had a losing streak, and only he has a winning streak. At this rate, he could very well advance to the next stage."

"In my opinion, there must be a fight between Ma Hong and this person. No matter who wins or loses, it will decide who can enter the top 100."

"Let's wait and see."

After a short rest at noon, the Hidden Dragon Competition preliminaries continued in the afternoon.

In the afternoon's first match, Wu Chen's opponent was a late stage Spiritual Rotation Stage, while the Gold Ranking was at 285th place. However, beyond everyone's expectations, the other party automatically admitted defeat.

Even Zhao Ji was not Wu Chen's match, let alone someone like him, who was more than a hundred ranks below Zhao Ji.

"Even someone at the peak of the late stage of Spiritual Rotation Stage has voluntarily admitted defeat. This person's strength is somewhat terrifying."

"A expert at the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage should their Peak Of the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage voluntarily admit defeat. If word of this gets out, it will definitely cause a huge commotion."

"Even if he fails in the end and is unable to advance to the next level, it would be sufficient for him to be proud of himself."

On the other side, in the participant seats, everyone was frowning. They could see that Wu Chen was a huge threat, especially to those below the Spirit Sea Realm. They knew that Wu Chen was definitely their greatest obstacle in advancing.

"Brother Hong, this person is your biggest opponent for the advancement."

Seated in the front, was a man in blood-red clothes. His gaze was tightly locked onto Wu Chen, and a strong battle intent rose.

"I will defeat him."

No one could stop him from advancing. He would crush all his opponents with his fists.

In the second round, Wu Chen had met an opponent with Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage. Without question, the other party had admitted defeat, even Peak Of the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage had admitted defeat, let alone him.

In the third round of the afternoon, under the anticipation of tens of thousands of people, Wu Chen and Ma Hong finally met in battle.

"Finally matched."

"I heard that Ma Hong had once tried to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm. I wonder if that's true?"

"Yes, he did try to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, but he failed."

"However, although Ma Hong has failed, his strength still far surpasses many others, and is one of the strongest people under the Spirit Sea Realm."

"Yeah, from the previous battle results, Ma Hong lost once, but that time did not blame him, because he met the expert at Spirit Sea Stage. Although the difference between his Peak Of the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage and Spirit Sea Realm is only half a step, the difference is like a chasm, no one can pass it."

"In the competition of the top two, no matter who wins or loses, it will determine who can advance to the next level."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the martial stage. It could be said that they had been waiting for this match for a long time.

This was definitely a fierce battle between two evenly matched opponents.

"I'm surprised you've come this far."

Standing on the stage, it was the first time Ma Hong had faced Wu Chen. None of them had expected that this person could make it this far, but the other party's pace stopped here, because the person the other party was facing was him, a person who was in the top 100 of the Gold Ranking.

Wu Chen said indifferently: "Maybe the things that will surprise you are still at the end."

He had never cared about someone who had failed to break into the Spirit Sea Realm. So far, he had only used half of his full strength. There was no opponent that could make him use his full strength in the preliminaries.

"Oh?" Ma Hong looked down and said: "Could it be that you still want to defeat me and enter the top 100?"

"Why not?"

Ma Hong's face changed as he became enraged: "Arrogant, don't think that defeating that brat Zhao Ji is already enough to go against the rules, now I will let you experience what is called a capital genius' method."

Ma Hong was someone who cultivated in the Xi Yang City. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, he had cultivated a top-notch Martial Arts since he was young.

"If Ma Hong gets angry, the consequences would be extremely scary."

Everyone's expressions changed. Ma Hong was one of the few strongest people under the Spirit Sea Realm. His strength was extremely terrifying and it was almost impossible to fight against someone below the Spirit Sea Realm.

"Kid, take my punch first."

Ma Hong clenched his fist, and a burst of berserk energy instantly burst out, sweeping out like a flood. The strong power caused the surrounding space to tremble, as though it was unable to withstand the power.

Glancing at Wu Chen, Ma Hong threw a punch out. Like a violent storm, the powerful force fiercely rushed towards Wu Chen, wanting to kill him.

Wu Chen laughed faintly, he was just a person who failed to break into the Spirit Sea Realm, what is there to be afraid of?

"Heaven Slaughtering Style."

With a loud shout, Wu Chen directly threw out a Heaven Slaughtering Style. The powerful Heaven Slaughtering Style rushed out with the power to destroy everything, and violently collided with Ma Hong's Fist Force.

Boom!

The two forces collided, and a surge of energy exploded out, sweeping in all directions.

"Shadow Cuts."

Once he did that, Wu Chen's figure became illusionary, countless of afterimages appeared, and in that moment, countless Wu Chen's appeared on the stage, all of them rushing towards Ma Hong from all directions.

"Is it this move again?"

This move was not unfamiliar to Ma Hong, because he had already used it when fighting Zhao Ji.

However, he was extremely disdainful of that technique. From his point of view, that technique was like a flowery fist or an embroidered leg.

"Break for me."

Ma Hong shouted as the Dantian in his body churned. A powerful force surged into his fists, wanting to destroy all of Wu Chen's illusions.

"Bam."

Suddenly, his expression changed, because he saw a huge fist carrying a fierce power attack towards him with an unimaginable speed that was extremely fast.

"Crap, it's too late."

He completely did not expect that Wu Chen's attack would actually be so fast. Just as he had reacted, the other party's attack had already arrived.
