Chapter 466: Going on Stage

Translator: jinzeffect

The second stage of the tournament was much more intense than the first stage.

This stage didn’t merely decide the top 26, it also decided the 26 spots to enter the Red Rainbow Sect as outer sect disciples. After missing this chance, one would have to wait for two more years. Who knew if there would still be any chances to enter the Red Rainbow Sect two years later.

“Accept your defeat!”

“You are the one who shall be defeated!”

On the contest stage, two of the contestants were drenched in blood as they attacked one another in a frenzy.

Ultimately, the tall and slim man barely managed to defeat the opponent but had also fainted.

It was fortunate that the upper echelons of all the martial institutions were prepared for such a situation.

A Battle Spirit Realm master skimmed towards the stage and struck out green qi forces to each of the contestants.

After getting nourished by the green qi force, the duo quickly recovered.

“A Battle Spirit Realm master with the greenwood bone frame.” Li Fuchen immediately understood.

Among all the bone frames, the greenwood bone frame possessed the most effective healing ability. The greenwood divine ability that Grandmaster Ever Youth had was even able to revive a person that was at the brink of death. Of course, the prerequisite was that the target only had injuries.

If it was some exotic poison, not even Primary Sea Realm monarchs would be able to do anything.

If it was something like a curse, it would be even more hopeless.

This world had too many unexplainable things.

“Vajra Barrier.”

On the no.6 contest stage, Wang Jian of the Scarlet Tiger Martial Institution had burst out with his vajra divine ability. His entire body was covered in a layer of golden skin.

Clang Clang Clang!

In fact, Wang Jian’s opponent was very formidable and if Wang Jian had awakened an offense divine ability instead, he might not be a match for his opponent.

It was a pity that Wang Jian just had to awaken a defensive divine ability and his opponent wasn’t able to deal any damage but Wang Jian could damage his opponent.

Bang!

Wang Jian sent his opponent flying with a palm strike.

“Darkness Sky Canopy!”

On the no.8 contest stage, Wang Heilong had also met a formidable foe.

The opponent’s strength was even above Situ Tao. It was lamentable that the opponent awakened a divine ability that wasn’t wide-range and had awakened a single target divine ability like Gu Heng. After getting enveloped by the Darkness Sky Canopy, the opponent was defeated by Wang Heilong’s sneak assaults.

“Wang Heilong’s Darkness Sky Canopy is probably one of the most fearsome divine abilities.”

Li Fuchen shook his head.

“Asura Moon!”

In comparison to Wang Jian and Wang Heilong, the Evergreen Martial Institution’s Leng Feng was much stronger. When he executed his saber dao divine ability, a severe and sharp crescent moon appeared above his head. When the crescent moon swept across, no matter who was his opponent, they would be sent flying and wouldn’t have a chance to resist.

Weapon dao divine abilities had always been rather extreme and had absurd offensive power.

After another day, the top 26 were born.

From the South Forest Martial Institution, both Situ Tao and Wang Heilong managed to enter the top 26. The former had enough strength while the latter’s Darkness Sky Canopy was too dreadful. As such, they advanced without any problems.

“Great!”

Meng Chihang and Lin Zhubai were both very pleased as they cheered.

With Li Fuchen included, there were a total of three cadets from the South Forest Martial Institution that entered the top 50. This was already far beyond their standard and wasn’t inferior to the top 10 martial institutions.

By contrast, there were plenty of martial institutions that didn’t have anyone else entering the top 50 apart from their seeded contestant.

As for the High Heaven Martial Institution and the Flying Snow Martial Institutions, they were still going strong.

The High Heaven Martial Institution had a total of five individuals that entered the top 50 and so did the Flying Snow Martial Institution.

After knowing that they had entered the top 26, Situ Tao and Wang Heilong had both heaved a breath of relief.

Becoming an outer sect disciple of the Red Rainbow Sect was too much of an attraction for them.

One could even say that if they didn’t enter the Red Rainbow Sect, they would basically lose all hope of entering the Primary Sea Realm.

If they were able to enter the Red Rainbow Sect, they would at least have traces of hope.

In order to enter the Primary Sea Realm, one would need to cultivate an earth class high-tier cultivation technique first. It was a basic requirement.

In the Red Soil Continent, apart from the Red Rainbow Sect, there were no other places with earth class high-tier cultivation techniques. Even if there was any, they would probably have been taken in by the Red Rainbow Sect.

On the third morning, the third stage of the Ranking Tournament had officially begun.

“No.7 contest stage. No.15, Li Fuchen will go against No.16 Jiang Tian.”

As the judge’s voice echoed, Li Fuchen and Jiang Tian entered the stage together.

Jiang Tian, Limestone Martial Institution’s seeded contestant, the son of Master Ax.

(TL note: I changed Green Stone to Limestone)

Master Ax was the ranked 7th individual in the Violet Flower Kingdom’s Master Rankings. He shared the same ranking as the Flying Snow Martial Institution’s Dean Duanmu Yao.

Master Ax had three sons, Jiang Tian was the second son and the third son was Jiang Ba who participated in Grandmaster Ever Youth’s tea party.

(TL note: Just a brief explanation. Both Master Ax and Grandmaster Ever Youth are at the Battle Spirit Realm. The difference in titles is because Grandmaster Ever Youth’s title is meant for his Concoction Grandmaster title)

As the son of Master Ax, Jiang Tian cultivated the earth-class mid-tier cultivation technique, Mountain Cutting Divine Technique and the earth-class high-tier martial art, Mountain Cutting 36 Axes. He was an absolute elite among the Limestone Martial Institution’s inner institute cadets.

“Mountain Cutting 15th Ax.”

Once on the stage, Jiang Tian executed the 15th ax move of the Mountain Cutting 36 Axes.

The giant ax light had filled the entire stage and was cleaving at Li Fuchen.

“Split!”

Li Fuchen swung his sword and severed the ax light easily.

“Mountain Cutting 20th Ax!”

Jiang Tian yelled out and released a stronger ax move.

Clang!

Li Fuchen split the ax light in a single sword and pushed Jiang Tian back.

“Mountain Cutting 27th Ax!”

Jiang Tian had a grave expression as he executed the 27th ax move.

Those who comprehended the first 18 ax moves of the Mountain Cutting 36 Axes would be considered to be at the sub-perfection stage. Those who comprehended the first 27 ax moves would be at the perfection stage.

As such, the 27th ax move was the strongest ax move that Jiang Tian could execute. The 28th ax move would be the trance stage.

Once he cleaved with his ax, layers of ax lights rushed at Li Fuchen like raging waves.

Jiang Tian had once used this move to kill over a dozen Reincarnation Realm experts.

It was a pity that Jiang Tian’s ax art was still too immature as compared to Li Fuchen.

They were both using earth class high-tier martial art, but Li Fuchen’s Green Sun Sword intent had reached the trance stage.

A single sword thrust had disarmed Jiang Tian’s giant ax.

“Damn it.”

Jiang Tian quickly withdrew and instantly released his sharp metal divine ability.

Buzz!

From the void, a golden ax had appeared and was cleaving at Li Fuchen.

Before the golden ax arrived, the spatial zone that Li Fuchen was standing in had been suppressed by a horrific pressure. It felt as though it was going to crush Li Fuchen’s body.

“A pure offensive divine ability?”

Li Fuchen shook his head and brandished his sword. A resplendent sword light burst out and extinguished the golden ax.

Pfff!

Fresh blood was violently vomited as Jiang Tian was sent off the stage and had been defeated.

“Earth class high-tier sword intent?”

Many of the martial institutions’ upper echelons were looking at Li Fuchen with astonishment.

As of now, Li Fuchen was the first contestant to show an earth class high-tier martial art intent. It was hard not to attract any attention.

“Interesting, his regular strength is rather powerful.”

Ling Yijian’s eyes stayed on Li Fuchen for a few more breaths.

With the 6-star sword dao bone frame, Ling Yijiang didn’t just have an exceptional perception that was superior to most 6-star bone frames, his sword dao comprehension was extremely fearsome too. In terms of sword art proficiency, he believed that he wasn’t weaker than a 7-star bone frame.

Li Fuchen obviously didn’t have the sword dao bone frame but his sword art proficiency seemed to be comparable with Ling Yijian.

“Ling Yijian, your Green Cloud Sword Art should also be at the trance stage, right?” Beside him, Bai Lingshuang said indifferently.

The Green Cloud Sword Art was one of the earth class high-tier sword arts of the High Heaven Martial Institution and it was a sword art that had to be imparted.

Ling Yijian smiled but didn’t deny.
