Advancing to the Top Five

"The martial arts competition is over. Lu Qingying Lu Qingying Wei Ranran."

"In the fourth martial arts match, Meng Jiamu faced off against Yin Yuqing."

Please have the two students come up to the stage for a contest.

As the martial arts competition progressed round after round, the students watching from Duel Platform were completely engrossed.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, these Elite Student would never have imagined the strength of East River Province's top martial arts genius.

The live broadcast of the martial arts competition, which was rebroadcast by the Provincial TV Station, also attracted over 100 million viewers.

Of the 100 million viewers, those from East River Province naturally accounted for the largest proportion. In addition to East River Province, many people from West River Province, Cloud River Province, and even the Chuanshan Eight Provinces and Shaanxi also watched the show.

The martial arts matches between the members of the Genius Group are all decided within five minutes.

So, in just over an hour, the two strongest players from the First Competition Zone emerged.

Host Li Shumin announced, "Dear viewers, let me explain the members of the Genius Group— "

The competition was divided into two zones.

The Second Competition Zone is the Top Ten Competition.

All participants in the Second Competition Zone have been tested and found to be exceptionally talented, with a chance to compete for a place in the top ten.

The members of the Genius Group in the Second Competition Zone are mostly Grandmaster Seed and members with more than 1500 calories of energy, so they will not compete with the members of the First Competition Zone.

After several rounds of competition, two members from the First Competition Zone emerged victorious: Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao.

According to the rules, the winner of the First Competition Zone can participate in the Top Ten Competition in the Second Competition Zone.

"Next, please welcome Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao to the stage for the final of the First Competition Zone."

As soon as the host Li Shumin finished speaking, Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao stepped onto the Duel Platform at the same time.

Duel Platform, Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't contain her excitement. "Siyu, look, Yunxiao has made it to the finals! I just calculated that Yunxiao defeated a total of seven members of the Genius Group."

All that's left is to defeat Ning Xingchen, and then we can successfully advance to the Top Ten Competition.

Qin Siyu responded with an "oh" that remained perfectly normal.

But in his heart, he was thinking, "If Chen Lie wasn't even in the First Competition Zone's finals, does that mean Chen Lie was directly placed in the Second Competition Zone's Top Ten Competition?"

Being directly assigned to the Top Ten Competition means that their strength far surpasses that of the Genius Group members in the First Competition Zone, and they do not need to compete to prove their strength.

On the opposite stage, Qi Yunxiao looked at Ning Xingchen and said, "Ning Xingchen, we have sparred countless times, but the result has always been a draw. Unless we fight to the point of exhaustion, we cannot determine a winner."

It would be rather unseemly to fight to the point of exhaustion in front of a large audience and on live television across the province.

How about this, we settle the score with one move?

"Okay!" Ning Xingchen nodded slightly.

After the announcement of "The duel begins" Duel Platform, Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao each gathered their strength and unleashed their strongest martial arts techniques.

"Blood Light Shadow Sweep!"

"Hongbo Six-Soldier Fist!"

On the Duel Platform, blood and light clashed with the surging force of fists, and a thunderous sound rang out.

The Elite Student in the front row couldn't help but cover their ears.

After exchanging blows, Qi Yunxiao and Ning Xingchen on the Duel Platform were both seen to retreat due to the force of the recoil.

After stopping, Qi Yunxiao said, "I took one more step back than you. I lost!"

After saying that, Qi Yunxiao jumped off the Duel Platform.

Meanwhile, as the martial arts competition was underway, the host announced the results, " In the First Competition Zone finals, Ning Xingchen Ning Xingchen Qi Yunxiao and advanced to the Top Ten Competition."

Duel Platform, Fang Xiaoxiao, upon hearing the result, couldn't help but ask, "Why? Yunxiao clearly didn't lose?"

"It seems like it'll be decided in one move," Qin Siyu said.

"I saw that Yunxiao's punches were powerful just now, and he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all."

"They should have their own methods of judgment."

A beautiful reporter from the Provincial TV Station walked onto the stage, holding a microphone and smiling at the camera, "Hello everyone, students and viewers in front of the screen. The results of the martial arts competition in the First Competition Zone of the Genius Group have been determined."

Next, we will hold the Top Ten Competition in the Second Competition Zone.

The top ten competition has thirteen participants: Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Tang Jiu'er, Chen Lie, Lu Qingyun, Mo Sheng, Song Yixuan, Ning Xingchen, Jiang Mingyue, Hou Qinglin, Guan Qi, and Liu Wan.

Students, please get ready! The Second Competition Zone's Top Ten Competition is about to begin!

In the Waiting Room behind the Duel Platform, the deacon of the Martial Artist Association's Genius Group walked around among the crowd, trying to persuade them.

"Students, get ready. Be prepared to go into battle at any time. We'll be randomly selected to go on stage for the competition shortly."

Chen Lie closed his eyes to rest in the chair in the Waiting Room. Inside Waiting Room Waiting Room, Jiang Minghua from Changsheng Pharmaceutical Company, along with representatives from other companies, entered to extend their regards to their respective company's brand ambassadors.

"Chen Lie, how are you doing right now? Are you confident you can get into the top three?"

Chen Lie opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Minghua, and said, "Didn't I tell you that my goal is to be the top Provincial Martial Leader?"

Jiang Minghua gave an awkward smile and said, "I know, what I mean is, if you fail to win the first place in the Martial Leader, are you confident in securing a top-three ranking?"

For businesses, being number one, in the top three, or outside the top three has different effects.

The number one Martial Leader will undoubtedly make the company a fortune. The sales of products endorsed by the top three are also very impressive. Small pharmaceutical companies like Martial Leader don't dare to dream of such a thing. As long as Chen Lie can achieve a top-three finish in the martial arts competition, they can guarantee that their investment will yield a return of more than three times.

"There's no chance of failure; first place is definitely mine," Chen Liedao.

Seeing the confidence in Chen Lie's words, Jiang Minghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen Lie, I dare not aspire to Martial Leader competition. As long as you can win a top-three finish in this competition, I am willing to pay you another 80 million Star Dollar, and I guarantee that the money will arrive in your account within two days."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Lie nodded.

On the other side, Yang Ningbing, a representative of Longyue Group, also went to visit Wang Dongting.

"Wang Dongting, you have won the title of East River Province's Provincial Martial Leader for two consecutive years."

If he performs normally this time, retaining his title shouldn't be too difficult, right?

The staff of Longyue Group and I will be cheering you on from below.

The promised 250 million Star Dollar have already been deposited into the account you provided.

Wang Dongting nodded slightly. "Representative Yang, there's no need to worry. Just wait for the results."

I am determined to become the number one Martial Leader.

"With Wang saying that, I'm relieved. I'll go wait for your good news from the Duel Platform now."

Yang Ningbing smiled slightly, then left the Waiting Room.

After exchanging a few more words with Chen Lie, Jiang Minghua left the Waiting Room.

"Chen Lie, you've taken on an endorsement deal too?" Luo Zhixun asked Chen Lie with some surprise.

Chen Lie hummed in agreement, then showed Luo Zhixun the information about the company he was endorsing.

"East River Province Changshang Pharmaceutical? Isn't that a small company? I've never heard of it before?" Luo Zhixun curiously.

It's just a small company.

"For a small company, the endorsement fee probably isn't much, right?"

"Not much, but the owner of this company is related to me, and he approached me on his own initiative, so I'm too lazy to choose another company for a few tens of millions of Star Dollar."

"If we're related, it's really hard to refuse."

After saying that, Luo Zhixun did not say anything more.

On the Duel Platform, the host announced, "The first match of the Top Ten Competition, Tang Jiu'er versus Hou Qinglin."

Please have the two students come up to the stage for a contest.

Upon hearing the sound in the Waiting Room, Tang Jiu'er immediately went up to the Duel Platform and stood opposite Hou Qinglin.

"This Tang Jiu'er seems to be a Grandmaster Seed member as well?"

"Grandmaster Seed and regular members seem to be no different. That Grandmaster Seed named Cui Jinyang didn't even make it into the Top Ten Competition."

"Could it be that the Grandmaster Seed have greater potential than the ordinary members?"

"That's possible!"

On the Duel Platform, the voice announced, "The martial arts competition begins."

Tang Jiu'er's figure flickered, and an afterimage appeared on the Duel Platform.

A loud "bang" was heard.

Hou Qinglin collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"The competition is over. Tang Jiu'er Tang Jiu'er defeated Hou Qinglin and advances to the top ten."

A commotion erupted from the Duel Platform.

"This... this Grandmaster Seed is somewhat different!"

"The gap between the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group is really this huge? A battle ended in a second?"

"This is outrageous; Hou Qinglin didn't even have time to react."

In the VIP section, Xu Tianchuan, president of the Martial Artist Association, smiled.

Genius Group like Tang Jiu'er is a top-tier member, capable of achieving a ranking in the Three-Provinces Martial Tournament.

People.

"In the second match of the Top Ten Competition, Chen Lie faced Ning Xingchen."

Please have the two students come up to the stage for a martial arts competition.

Upon hearing his name called, Chen Lie immediately stood up and climbed onto the Duel Platform from the Duel Platform.

On the Duel Platform, Chen Lie and Ning Xingchen stood facing each other.

"I heard you've made great progress lately?" Ning Xingchen said, looking at Chen Lie.

"Fine, I'll give you some face."

"Then let's give it a try!"

Ning Xingchen assumed a fighting stance, secretly gathering his strongest martial arts technique.

It wasn't until the announcement of "The martial arts competition begins" was made that the competition started.

Ning Xingchen unleashed his martial arts instantly, and a Blood Shadow appeared between his palms.

Chen Lie simply threw a punch, and Ning Xingchen felt an irresistible force strike him. The Blood Shadow in his palms instantly dissipated, and he was blasted off the Duel Platform by the violent force.

"The competition ended, Chen Lie Chen Lie defeated Ning Xingchen and advanced to the top ten."

Seeing this scene from the back of the VIP section, Jiang Minghua couldn't help but clap and cheer.

The Elite Student Duel Platform were all shocked, especially the elite students from the Provincial Key High School.

"Senior Chen Lie, you're too strong! You actually knocked the strongest player from the First Competition Zone off the Duel Platform with just one punch!"

"This is the true spirit of Grandmaster Seed member. That Cui Jinyang is too weak, isn't he?"

"I wonder who is stronger, Senior Chen Lie or that Tang Jiu'er from earlier?"

Chen Lie stepped down from the Duel Platform and returned to the Waiting Room.

Another round of competition begins.

"The third match of the Top Ten Competition, Luo Zhixun vs. Mo Sheng."

Please have the two students come up to the stage for a contest.

Qin Siyu couldn't help but glance at Feng Shuangshuang, Chen Lie's cousin, not far away, and saw that she also looked surprised.

How far has Chen Lie's martial arts reached? He defeated a member of the Genius Group who had emerged victorious from so many martial arts First Competition Zone with a single move.

The martial arts competition ended quickly, very quickly.

After six rounds of martial arts sparring, all members whose Blood Qi Value were slightly above 1,500 were eliminated.

Seven people directly advanced to the top ten.

After a round of Revival Match and six rounds of martial arts sparring, the top ten finalists were determined.

A beautiful reporter from the Provincial TV Station announced, "The top ten list for this martial arts competition has been released."

They are Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Chen Lie, Tang Jiu'er, Lu Qingyun, Song Yixuan, Liu Wan, Guan Qi, and Jiang Mingyue.

Next, the Top Five Competition will begin. Please be prepared.

"In the first match of the Top Five Competition, Chen Lie faced off against Tang Jiu'er."

Please have the two students come up to the stage for a contest.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Lie immediately got up and went up to the Duel Platform.

Tang Jiu'er walked towards him, looked at Chen Jie, and revealed a wicked smile, "Chen Lie, I remember I said before that if we met in the All-Member Martial Competition, I would definitely teach you a lesson."

I didn't expect to be matched with you in the second round of the Top Five Competition. I'm giving you a chance now. If you beg for mercy loudly, I might go easy on you later.

"I'll say the same thing to you: beg for mercy loudly, and I might show you some leniency."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jiu'er immediately retorted angrily, "You little brat, you're asking for a beating!"

Chen Lie remained silent, waiting for the instructions from the Duel Platform.

The audience was also very excited, eager to see the battle between the Grandmaster Seed members.

The announcement that "the martial arts competition begins" arrived as scheduled.

Tang Jiu'er snorted coldly and struck out with a palm carrying tremendous force.

"Smoke Gauze Palm!"

Facing Tang Jiu'er's palm strike with nearly Myriad Jun Great Strength, Chen Lie neither dodged nor avoided, but directly struck out with his own palm, clashing with her powerful palm force.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Luo Zhixun was thrown back several steps by the force of the impact.

How do you possess such strength?

Tang Jiu'er was always proud of her strength of over nine thousand jin, but she never expected that this unknown Chen Lie could actually compete with her in strength and even surpass her.

Chen Lie was naturally not forced to retreat by the residual force of the recoil. Seeing Tang Jiu retreat, he immediately rushed forward to meet her.

Using Grappling Arts from Basic Combat Arts, he grabbed Tang Jiu'er's arm and then used the Muscle-Tearing Bone-Dislocating Hand.

Upon seeing this, Tang Jiu'er panicked and struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free at all.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she raised her leg to kick Chen Lie hard in the forehead, but Chen Lie blocked it with his arm.

"Asshole!"

Tang Jiu'er clenched her teeth and, left with no other choice, delivered a knee kick.

Seeing this, Chen Lie immediately kicked Tang Jiu'er's knee back, increasing the force of his Muscle-Tearing Bone-Dislocating Hand.

With a loud "crack," Tang Jiu'er broke out in a cold sweat.

She instantly felt Chen Lie dislocate her right arm.

He immediately said, "I admit defeat!"

The host in the audience was stunned by this scene and quickly announced, "In the first match of the Top Five Competition, Chen Lie Chen Lie Tang Jiu'er and advanced to the top five."

After hearing the host announce the result, Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but say, "You jerk, I've already admitted defeat, why aren't you letting go?"
