Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 174 - The decisive battle

From sixteen to eight, it was also very difficult for Chu Fanliang to get in. Not a single one of the top sixteen was easy going, and they were all the most outstanding people in the Spirit Sage. Even if Chu Fanliang was among them, he did not have any advantages.

Chu Fanliang had barely won over a representative from another sect in the cultivation world. Even though he had won, he had been seriously injured.

The strength of a fifth stage Spirit Sage was not something that Chu Fanliang could handle. If not for the fact that Chu Fanliang's martial arts was too mixed, he would have fallen off the stage a long time ago.

Even so, it caused Chu Fanliang's scalp to go numb. It was the same for the eight-to-four situation, and Chu Fanliang was also taking a risk. This top sixteen were simply crouching tigers and hidden dragons; even Chu Fanliang felt that he was caught somewhat unprepared.

Four on two, Chu Fanliang had already lost half his life, and the current Chu Fanliang did not care about the gazes of outsiders at all. No matter what people around him said, he would pretend not to hear them.

Some in the outside world envied Chu Fanliang, while some looked down on his origins. With Chu Fanliang taking the lead, all of the Mortal Realm cultivators s rejoiced over Chu Fanliang entering the top four.

Right now, Chu Fanliang was at the last moment of his life, the decisive battle. Right now, the biggest dark horse in the tournament was already aware that it was Chu Fanliang.

Since the Mortal Realm came, they had no experience with the world, yet this kind of bumpkin muddle-headedly entered the decisive battle. The final battle would be announced tomorrow, and even Chu Fanliang was shocked when he fought with Chu Fanliang.

It was none other than Shui Qianbian. The one who fought with Chu Fanliang in the end was actually the Red Pie's Shui Qianbian, and Chu Fanliang's final opponent was actually her. The woman who did not make a move against Chu Fanliang.

Towards that woman, Xiao Bai only smiled, and was unwilling to say much, because even until now, Xiao Bai had only considered it for Chu Fanliang.

Chu Fanliang was still not strong enough to be independent. He always thought that there was a protective shield behind him that allowed him to be fearless. If they were to escape from this protective umbrella, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Right now, the Xiao Bai was doing her best to nurture Chu Fanliang's self-reliance so that he would be less dependent on him. From the moment she entered the cultivation world, the Xiao Bai had never really cared about Chu Fanliang.

Chu Fanliang also understood this situation, so he had been working hard to fight. The fighting arena did not allow for any injuries or injuries, so every time Chu Fanliang attacked, he knew what to do.

In this battle, Chu Fanliang had finally met his match. Why did he not choose to fight that time, was because Chu Fanliang was slightly afraid.

Although Shui Qianbian was not that strong, and was only at the fourth stage of Spirit Sage, Chu Fanliang felt that she was much more terrifying than a sixth stage Spirit Sage. Chu Fanliang could jump realms to fight, but if he could surpass the sixth stage of Spirit Sage and reach the seventh stage of Spirit Sage, no matter how strong he was, he would still be powerless.

On the second day, the decisive battle began, and Chu Fanliang and Shui Qianbian once again walked onto the stage. This was not the first time they met in the fighting arena. Chu Fanliang had previously been defending, but now he was going to do it.

The two of them clasped their hands, indicating that they were about to begin.

Chu Fanliang made a gesture of invitation. He did it out of politeness but also out of modesty towards women. In terms of education and etiquette, Chu Fanliang was not inferior to anyone.

Finally, their eyes met like fire and water, and their bodies started to revolve around each other.

Chu Fanliang was already a Second Rank Intermediate Spirit Sage, although he had only recently entered the Second Rank, he was still a step away from the Second Rank.

The amount of spirit energy accumulated in Chu Fanliang's body before was just too dense, and when it broke through, the backlog of power would instantly burst forth. Therefore, Chu Fanliang had also directly broken through to the middle of the second stage of Spirit Sage.

Shui Qianbian was already at the fourth stage of Spirit Sage before this, so her strength had only increased by a sliver.

At this moment, the leader of the Qing Gang's voice sounded from outside the arena. When the disciples of Qing Gang threw him into Chu Fanliang's hands at the top four, it caused Chu Fanliang to receive a very serious injury.

The members of Qing Gang were fine. No matter what, they still had to show their skills.

"I haven't talked about our final reward for this Martial Competition. I can clearly tell you that the final benefit of this competition is to talk to the existences above Spirit Sage." When he finished, there was chaos below.

Above Spirit Sage, among so many people present, other than a few exceptions who were hidden amongst the crowd, who was not below Spirit Sage, and who was not even at the high level of Spirit Sage.

The leader of the Qing Gang let the crowd quiet down and said, "This is only one of them." Once again, it was difficult for him to lose control of the situation which had just quieted down.

If it was not enough for the Spirit Sage s, then there must be some other reward. In the past, the Large Competition was all about immortal pills and external items. Yet, this time, the Great Competition Qing Gang actually made a huge loss?

It was also true that a Spirit Sage could only speak a few sentences without losing anything. But then there was something else. That was something else entirely.

After so many years of fighting competition, each time, the rewards were very generous. It seemed that the rewards this time couldn't be wrong.

The second will be rewarded with three Spirit Increasing Pills. I don't think I need to say anything about the usefulness of this Spirit Increasing Pills. The leader of the Qing Gang said indifferently.

The entire audience was in an uproar. How was this a reward? This Spirit-Strengthening Pill could instantly increase one fold in spiritual energy, and there were no side effects.

If these three pills came out, then another big sect would appear in the cultivation world. This Spirit-Strengthening Pill also had the function of strengthening the foundation. It wasn't so much an Immortal pill as an omnipotent pill.

There was once a top ranker in the Large Competition who established a large sect, but in the end, he had also surpassed the Spirit Sage, and now there were another three pills. As expected of the Qing Gang, they were rich.

"The third, soft clothes for body protection." The leader of the Qing Gang continued.

There was absolute silence below. The protective soft clothes were an existence that would be fine even if a Spirit Sage were to attack. A top quality armour that deals most of the damage.

The outside world was in chaos, but Chu Fanliang and Shui Qianbian who were inside the competition grounds were unable to hear anything. They could clearly see what was happening inside the array, but they knew nothing about what was happening outside the array.

In the training grounds, Chu Fanliang and Shui Qianbian had already started fighting, but now that they were fighting, they felt different. Chu Fanliang restrained himself with all his might, and Shui Qianbian was the same. Could it be that the two of them didn't want to be the first?

Of course it was not like that. Chu Fanliang was afraid that he would become too famous and the eight Supreme Sects would all be trampled on by him. Therefore, Chu Fanliang chose to slowly restrain himself.

However, Shui Qianbian felt that Chu Fanliang was being fierce, and planned to test him out bit by bit, so she also chose to restrain herself and probe.

Chu Fanliang really couldn't understand, before, no matter who Shui Qianbian attacked, he would use his full strength. Within ten moves, he would definitely fly out from the arena, how could this happen to him?

What he did not know was that this Shui Qianbian viewed him as her most important opponent. If it was looked down upon, then there definitely would not be such a test, but Chu Fanliang did not know about any of these, and thought that Shui Qianbian had restrained herself.

On the other hand, Chu Fanliang underestimated his opponent. After the first move, Chu Fanliang's pressure instantly increased by a hundred times. Shui Qianbian did not use his full strength, but Chu Fanliang felt that even if he used his full strength, he would still not be able to resist.

After receiving Shui Qianbian's attack, Chu Fanliang was forced to retreat several steps, and even he herself did not know how many steps she had retreated, until she finally stopped at the edge of the stage.

"What the heck is this!" Shui Qianbian's sudden use of strength had made him stunned from Chu Fanliang's beating, causing him to not know what to do.

This force was simply too great. If he hadn't been able to stabilize himself, he really would have flown out. Chu Fanliang still did not know Shui Qianbian's actual strength, and did not know if he had used her full strength yet.

However, Shui Qianbian did not stop there, and continued to pounce towards Chu Fanliang. No matter what kind of power it was, it was the easiest way to fight, thinking that those flowery moves were only for those who didn't know how to use internal spiritual energy.

If one was truly powerful, no matter how strong he was, he would be sent flying with a single punch. Thus, their battle was the simplest method.

This time, Chu Fanliang chose to dodge. He already understood the strength of him and Shui Qianbian, it seemed that he couldn't win against her.

Shui Qianbian looked thin and weak, but the dense Qi made Chu Fanliang convinced, the spirit energy was too dense, Chu Fanliang could not win against it.

In terms of speed, Chu Fanliang was not inferior to Shui Qianbian, who was good at movement techniques. Therefore, Chu Fanliang chose to run instead.

Even if the competition grounds were not big, Chu Fanliang was like a fish swimming in water, wandering around the competition grounds.

Every time Shui Qianbian was about to catch him, she would always escape. This was enough to show that Chu Fanliang was still very strong in terms of movement Qing Gong.

The first time he missed, and the second time. Shui Qianbian slowly started to become anxious, and all the gazes outside the arena were gathered on the two of them.

It was because only the two of them remained in this year's grand event. The two of them were the first and second place. However, they were currently still fighting.

"What are you running for, you still want to compete for first place? You don't even have this bit of backbone." Everyone outside the stage had already started to despise Chu Fanliang, but only Chu Fanliang himself felt powerless within the stage.

He did not know what the reward for first place would be, but he would not easily admit defeat, whether he was a man or a woman. Chu Fanliang was even more unconvinced that there was a beautiful woman in front of him who was as beautiful as a flower.

If he couldn't even defeat a beauty as beautiful as a flower, would he still have the face to leave this place? That was what he thought, but it wasn't the same for the people outside.

Everyone was discussing about Chu Fanliang's weakness. In the entire competition arena, they only saw Chu Fanliang running all over the place like a stray dog.

"Stand there for me. If you're a man, then stand there. Let's quickly finish fighting." Shui Qianbian saw that he was one step away from catching up to Chu Fanliang no matter how hard he tried.

"Why am I standing there? Why don't you try if I'm a man or not? I can't beat you, but you made me stand there … do you think I'm stupid?" Chu Fanliang was still dodging. Looking at Shui Qianbian, who couldn't catch up to him, she smiled lightly.

"You …" Shui Qianbian was flustered and exasperated, what kind of person was she?

"There's no time. Come, come and chase me." Chu Fanliang patted his butt, but before he could be happy, Shui Qianbian had already rushed forward to kill him.

Chu Fanliang was looking for an opportunity, and similarly Shui Qianbian was looking for an opportunity. Chu Fanliang and Shui Qianbian's fight was something that everyone knew. Shui Qianbian was not as weak as she appeared to be, but was more like a tiger.

Even if it was a mother, Chu Fanliang could not shake his now.

There was really no time limit to this competition. In all of the previous Large Competitions, someone like Chu Fanliang himself, who did not even know what he was delaying, was the first person to do so.

Chu Fanliang continuously searched for flaws in Shui Qianbian, and no matter how angry he was, his body actually didn't have any signs of relaxation or discomfort.

It was not that Shui Qianbian had not intentionally relaxed her posture before this, waiting for Chu Fanliang to take the bait. Shui Qianbian knew that it would be useless against Chu Fanliang, so she stopped using that move.

"Let him, go down." They're wasting our time, what the heck is that thing. " Outside of the stage, the voices that were insulting Chu Fanliang sounded out endlessly, and of course, Chu Fanliang did not know about the situation outside, and was still bitterly looking for an opening.

Chu Fanliang suddenly felt that this was not a second chance, and wanted to escape. How could Shui Qianbian let go of this chance to flick up an opening? Chasing Chu Fanliang away with a palm strike, Chu Fanliang hurriedly struck back with his palm.

Fortunately, Chu Fanliang had long since prepared a complete plan, and he had not completely displayed his true strength. If he was facing it head-on, Chu Fanliang would definitely defeat him one time.

"Don't run if you have the guts." Shui Qianbian shouted from behind Chu Fanliang.

"You're amazing, chase after me." Chu Fanliang stuck out his tongue, not moved at all by the ambush from earlier.

"I'm not chasing you anymore, stop running." As Shui Qianbian spoke, he stood in his original spot, while Chu Fanliang also stood in his original spot.

Shui Qianbian stood in the middle while Chu Fanliang stood by the side, which meant that the two of them were still around a hundred meters apart.

There were many ways to run from Chu Fanliang's position, and it could be said that Chu Fanliang's position was the most suitable one.

"Water."

"Shadow Clone Technique."

Just as Shui Qianbian shouted "water Hydro", Chu Fanliang also called for his Shadow Clone Technique. The water spirit was Shui Qianbian's avatar technique. One water spirit could split into three Shui Qianbian.

But this shadow clone of Chu Fanliang's had split into two Chu Fanliang's, so there were currently three Shui Qianbian's chasing after two Chu Fanliang's.

Chu Fanliang's Shadow Clone Technique could only summon one, but if the user's strength was about the same, he could only summon one. But that Shui Qianbian actually had three people with equal strength.
