The top four have been decided.

Fang Che, Huo Churan, Qiu Yunshang, and Rain Song.

To everyone's surprise, these three had clearly witnessed Fang Che's unmatched move, yet none of them were willing to give up! According to the rules, Fang Che needed to fight two matches.

When Fang Che drew lots, Huo Churan and Qiu Yunshang were both craning their necks, their pig-like heads watching with concern.

Rain Song was also watching, but he was unscathed, not a pig's head.

Fang Che's fair fingers held the lot, gently turning it over.

Two! Fang Che drew Huo Churan!

In Huo Churan's eyes, a vigorous fighting spirit suddenly ignited! He took a deep breath.

Fang Che revealed an extremely friendly smile, saying with a grin, "Brother Huo, it's our turn next."

Righteous Fang Gongzi wanted to repeat his old trick, using the same approach he used against Ding Ziran on Huo Churan.

But to his surprise, Huo Churan didn't fall for it at all, coldly saying, "Fang Che, don't try to fool me like that idiot Ding Ziran. I don't have time to make friends with you!"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Che didn't react much, but Ding Ziran on the side was furious. He pressed his hand on the sword hilt, and said grimly, "Huo Churan, are you looking for death?!"

Huo Churan said forcefully, "If you want to fight me, you're not qualified yet. I'll fight Fang Che first, then fight you!"

Ding Ziran took a deep breath, and a sharp sword aura and astonishing killing intent suddenly emanated from his body. He said word by word, "You said that yourself. Don't be afraid to die when the time comes!"

Fang Che laughed and said, "Brother Ding, calm down. After Huo Churan fights me, whether he has the ability to fight you again is still uncertain."

He pointed his finger at Huo Churan, and said lightly, "We're not making friends, you said that yourself, so don't blame me for being ruthless today. Not just today, but even in the future, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Huo Churan sneered, "Based on you?!"

Fang Che was furious, and immediately raised his hand, vowing resolutely, "I swear to heaven, I will beat Huo Churan every time I see him in the future! If I don't see him, I'll take the initiative to see him and beat him!"

Everyone was stunned.

Damn, is it necessary to be so ruthless? Little did they know that Fang Che was also helpless in his heart.

He couldn't make friends, and he couldn't directly beat him to death or cripple him on the stage—the referees were definitely watching him.

So how would he deal with Huo Churan, the Three Saints Sect's seed, in the future? He had to find a reason.

And Huo Churan's temper was so unruly and fiery, giving himself a reason to explode, so Fang Che naturally had to follow along.

Beat him every time he saw him! If he didn't see him, he would create opportunities to see him and beat him! He had sworn, and everyone had heard it.

This couldn't be blamed on him!

Qiu Yunshang said from the side, "Fang Che, leave him a breath for me!"

"Okay! But I'll only leave him one breath."

Fang Che smiled, but although he was smiling, his eyes were very cold.

Fang Che and Huo Churan's battle began.

How to describe this battle? It was both within everyone's expectations and completely beyond them! Huo Churan used his full strength from the very beginning.

Unlike his fight with Xie Gongping, Huo Churan's momentum rose steadily from the start, and his body began to be filled with bloody aura.

Moreover, his cultivation level was also increasing steadily, becoming more courageous as he fought. Eventually, he displayed strength equivalent to a Martial Master Rank Four peak!

From a distance, Huo Churan, clearly dressed in white, seemed to be enveloped in a color like fresh blood.

Blood mist rose, rolling back and forth on the arena, unextinguished by the wind! "This should be a secret technique to burn blood essence to enhance cultivation."

"After this battle, even if he wins, he will be weak for a while. I didn't expect Huo Churan to have mastered such a desperate skill."

The two referees looked displeased.

They really didn't want Huo Churan to win.

Anyone else winning would be better than Huo Churan.

Simply because his previous palm technique felt too disgusting!

But now it seems that with Huo Churan using such a secret technique, Fang Che is probably in danger.

There is a gap in cultivation level, even if he uses the Saber Performance of Stupa, it probably won't help.

"Look!"

Just as the two were shocked, they saw Fang Che shout softly and unleash both fists and palms.

His momentum was also rising steadily! In an instant, he also reached Martial Master Rank Four, meeting Huo Churan head-on!

Booming sounds were incessant!

However, Fang Che's aura was solid, his breathing steady, and his Yuan Qi flowed smoothly, clearly showing that he was a genuine Martial Master Rank Four peak! "Damn!"

"This kid has been hiding so much until now! He's so cunning, he's almost as bad as the Headmaster!"

One of the referees blurted out.

The other quickly coughed, "Cough cough cough..."

This referee turned his head and saw the Headmaster Shan Zhang Gao Qingyu in the distance, his two cold gazes like sharp arrows! He immediately felt like an arrow had struck his knee, and he almost knelt down.

On the other side, Qiu Yunshang and Rain Song were also fighting desperately.

The battle between these two strangely replayed the scene between Fang Che and Mo Ganyun.

Every move was a head-on collision.

This was initiated by Qiu Yunshang.

Because he knew that he had been injured quite a bit from continuous battles, and if he fought for a long time against the rested Rain Song, he might not have a chance of winning.

But Rain Song's strength was a bit weaker than his.

So he attacked fiercely, every move a head-on collision. Trading injuries for injuries, only attacking and not defending!

Rain Song was extremely aggrieved, but his strength was a little lower than Qiu Yunshang's. Although the difference was very small, in this kind of life-and-death battle, the advantages and disadvantages were obvious.

Later, he finally managed to find time to draw his sword, but Qiu Yunshang actually swung his long sword in a circle and used it as a broadsword, pressing Rain Song to chop nine times in a row.

After nine collisions, both of their long swords broke.

The two threw away their weapons at the same time and engaged in another fierce hand-to-hand fight.

Qiu Yunshang's originally refined and calm face was now unrecognizable. His eyes were swollen, leaving only a slit, but his attacks were like a storm, continuous and relentless.

Rain Song desperately dodged, trying to conserve his strength and use softness to overcome hardness.

However, Qiu Yunshang's footwork was equally skillful. No matter where Rain Song dodged, he would directly stick close and chase after him, not giving Rain Song a chance to widen the distance.

Moreover, he always kept his back to the arena, allowing Rain Song to get closer and closer to the outside of the arena.

After a burst of fierce collision and beating...

Rain Song and Qiu Yunshang were simultaneously punched in the right eye, punched in the right cheek, and kicked in the lower abdomen.

They fell backward at the same time.

However, Qiu Yunshang fell on the arena, while Rain Song roared in frustration, flew out of the arena, and fell to the ground with a thud.

He roared at the sky in anger, slapping the ground with both hands, roaring incessantly.

On the arena, Qiu Yunshang lay twitching, panting heavily. His face was so swollen that it was bigger than his butt, and his eyes were completely invisible. The cheeks on both sides were level with the bridge of his nose. Except for his mouth, which could still be seen as a hole, everything else was swollen flat.

It really looked almost like a butt.

He lay there laughing loudly: "I won!"

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

These two had a really enjoyable fight.

On the other side.

Seeing that Fang Che had actually withstood his attack, a fierce look flashed in Huo Churan's eyes.

"Old silver coin! It's outrageous, he actually hid his strength!"

Huo Churan was very angry.

This time, as a seed player of the Three Saints Sect, Huo Churan still had the task of only allowing success and not failure! He must win the first place in the competition, obtain the key resources of White Cloud Martial Academy, and enter the Warden's internal ranks after graduation.

Take up a position, and then the sect can obtain the Warden's news at any time, which is convenient for action.

This is Huo Churan's ultimate mission.

But it all starts with winning the championship.

Therefore, Huo Churan is determined to win this championship! With a loud shout.

Huo Churan suddenly took three steps back, and then suddenly drew his saber. Immediately, blood energy filled the entire saber, emitting a tragic aura, like a gust of wind, rushing forward!

At this moment, Fang Che also gave a soft shout, and his body suddenly rose up.

In mid-air, Fang Che suddenly let out a long xiao.

Everyone was shocked and looked up.

Because this long xiao didn't seem intentional, but rather like a Qi mechanism pulling, erupting out. And generally, when this kind of phenomenon occurs...

Sure enough, Fang Che in the air suddenly shook.

A wave of aura, diffused and scattered.

"Holy crap!"

The thousands of people in front uttered two elegant, universally understood words in unison.

Breakthrough! Fang Che actually broke through to Martial Master Rank Five at this time! This was a major hurdle!

Breaking through during battle; withstanding the enemy's frenzied offensive, enduring, and squeezing his own potential, forcibly breaking through! And breaking through in the championship finals! This was creating a legend for White Cloud Martial Academy!

After the breakthrough, Fang Che's body continued to rise.

His slender figure seemed to glow in the sunlight.

Amidst the long xiao, Fang Che rose to his peak, then folded his body and fell rapidly! From a height of several dozen feet, the speed of descent was like a shooting star!

The saber light was in front, like lightning suddenly striking down!

In the blink of an eye, carrying a gust of sharp wind, he arrived in front of Huo Churan.

With a clang, a fierce saber strike directly hit Huo Churan's saber! Huo Churan, who had gathered his momentum, was forced to scream by this saber strike, and leaned back. With a whoosh, he slid out, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

With one saber strike, his internal organs were already injured! But Fang Che didn't land, nor did he stop.

Instead, he directly used the momentum of his descent to rush forward wildly.

Another saber strike!

With a clang, Huo Churan's long saber spun into the air! He staggered back, spitting blood.

"You asked for it!"

Fang Che roared, throwing his own saber upwards as well.

His right hand struck Huo Churan's left eye socket like lightning, followed by his left hand, which also struck the right eye socket fiercely.

A punch landed squarely on the bridge of his nose.

The cracking sound of the fracture was clearly heard by the people near the arena, causing them to shudder.

Blood splattered wildly, as if a hammer had smashed into a watermelon.

Huo Churan suppressed a miserable howl, his nose collapsed!

As his head tilted back, Fang Che grabbed his hair and pulled it forward.

As a handful of hair scattered in his hand, his knee violently struck his Dantian.

Boom, boom, boom, seven consecutive strikes! Crack, crack... the sound of his soft ribs constantly breaking.

Huo Churan's body curled up like a shrimp, his feet flying off the ground.

With a smack, a slap landed on his right cheek. His face turned, and just as he spat out a few teeth, another slap landed on his left cheek, turning him back again. The teeth on both sides sprayed out to the right at the same time!

Fang Che spun in mid-air and delivered a side kick! Right in the chest.

Crack, crack, crack...

Five or six ribs broke in succession! Huo Churan floated unconscious towards the arena, already passed out.

Fang Che's face was like ice, his body rushed forward, his fist clenched, knuckles distinct.

"I'll beat you to death!" Fang Che roared angrily, "How dare you insult me!"

That's what he said, and that's what he intended to do.

If no one stopped him, it would be fine to just beat him to death!

He had worked so hard to set this up for so long, it should be fine to beat him to death, right?

After yesterday's update, I thought for a long time about the matter of delivering the message in Chapter 23.

The Guardian has not been able to find out about the Five Elements Spirit Gu for so long, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

I have been thinking about how to justify this part based on the content that has already been updated.

I'm still a little unsure. You can also help me think about it.

After I modify it, you can read it again.
