Eternal Reverence(Yong Heng Zhi Zun)

Chapter 23: Secret Message

With the conclusion of the first round, the top 80 are declared.

The Yang Clan has 7 going through.

The Shen Tu Clan and Guan Clan with 6 qualified each.

But there were only 2 survivors from the Li Clan, they are Li Fuchen and Li Yunhai.

The fight for the top 40 spots are evidently much more intense. With the conclusion of the second round, contestants from each clan were cut down

The Yang Clan had 5 left, the Shen Tu Clan with 4, the Guan Clan with 3, and the Li Clan still with 2.

In the third round, with the top 20 spots on the line, the matches cannot be described as intense but were desperate instead.

As the rewards for the top 20 are too significant. Obtaining those prizes, one could smoothly cultivate for at least the next few years.

Inevitably, Li Fuchen once again is going against Guan Peng.

"The Li Clan really has the worst of luck, to have Li Fuchen fighting against Guan Peng this early on."

"Ain't that right. If not for having Guan Peng as the opponent, Li Fuchen would have no problems entering the top 20."

The crowd had heated discussions.

For the first 2 rounds, Li Fuchen put on an excellent performance and effortlessly defeated his opponents. But his next opponent, Guan Peng is distinctly different from the rest, being one of the six to enter the Tempering Pool. Guan Peng was easily a top 10 candidate and only Yang Kai could be guaranteed a win against him.

"Li Fuchen, seems like this is an arrangement from the heavens." Guan Peng's face was full of joy at Li Fuchen's misfortune.

Losing to Li Fuchen last time was the worst humiliation. He swore that Li Fuchen would have to pay the price and the time was now. Being the top 20 placement match, this battle was of utmost importance. Not only will it determine if you were getting any sort of reward, it also decided if you had the chance to enter the Cang Lan Sect.

Not passing this round would mean you get nothing, with all effort was put to waste.

Li Fuchen gave a light-hearted laugh, "Heaven's arrangement indeed."

"Still reluctant to accept your defeat huh? Wait till I bust your teeth out." Li Fuchen's self confident smirk fueled the fire within Guan Peng's gut.

"Patriarch, do you think Guan Peng will meet any mishaps?"

Speaking at the side of Guan Yue was Guan Tian.

Guan Peng's father, Guan Tian initially believed in his son, but Guan Peng did still lose to Li Fuchen before. Until now, it wasn't clear how did he lost and there weren't any details of the fight either. But a loss is a loss, and it proved the ability Li Fuchen possessed. On the stage, anything could happen and that made Guan Tian's heart sink.

Guan Yue shook his head, "Relax, complacency was one of the main factors why he lost to Li Fuchen. But Li Fuchen isn't even a speck of dust against the current Guan Peng."

The sudden rise of Li Fuchen did surprise Guan Yue, but in his eyes, a normal bone frame is still nothing to get hyped over, as they normally amounted to nothing in the future.

"A typical normal bone frame made all of you so nervous."

Seated on the left of Guan Yue, a greyed hair old veteran gave a snort.
