Qin Hao Is Sure to Lose

"I... I lost?" On the arena, Liu Xiao wore a dazed and bitter expression.

Chen Yuntian's final Sword Laws strike was too fast and too fierce, defeating him in an instant.

There was simply no time to react.

Liu Xiao closed his eyes slightly, recalling the battle just now. That final Sword Laws strike... Chen Yuntian's last strike had practically gathered the limit of the previous yin-yang move, and was several times stronger than that previous yin-yang move as well.

With his current strength, he simply could not block it.

He did not lose unjustly.

It was only a pity that the Azure Origin Fruit, the reward for first place, was ultimately not meant to be his.

Liu Xiao slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Chen Yuntian with an expression that was immensely complex yet fiercely resolute.

"Chen Yuntian, you are indeed very strong."

In merely an instant, Liu Xiao recovered his composure. He withdrew his long spear and said with a resolute expression, "However, a momentary victory or defeat counts for nothing. Being able to walk far on the martial path is what makes a true expert!"

"Once we enter the Myriad Phenomena Hall, I, Liu Xiao, will definitely defeat you. I hope that by then, we can have another battle!"

"I await your challenge." Chen Yuntian also withdrew his long sword.

Liu Xiao nodded, gave Chen Yuntian a deep look, and turned to leap off the arena.

"This match, Chen Yuntian wins!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Martial Arts Arena grew even more boiling.

"He won! In this Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament, Chen Yuntian is the number one!"

"Tsk tsk, with merely eleven moves, he defeated Liu Xiao, and what's more, this was still only at three-tenths of Chen Yuntian's strength."

"Liu Xiao is also very strong, actually being able to force Chen Yuntian to use his eleventh Sword Laws move. Second place goes to Liu Xiao."

Everyone was discussing with extreme excitement.

Such a breathtakingly brilliant battle had never been seen before.

Although the top three of the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament were still being contested, the crowd almost subconsciously ignored Qin Hao.

No one believed that Qin Hao could fight against Liu Xiao and Chen Yuntian.

"With just eleven Sword Laws strikes, Liu Xiao was defeated!" At the Qin family's location, Qin Xiongfeng gasped.

Qin Hao gave Chen Yuntian and Liu Xiao a deep look, and slowly said, "Liu Xiao's Ninefold Wave is very strong, but unfortunately its speed was a bit slower, otherwise he could have kept fighting against Chen Yuntian."

"Moreover, Chen Yuntian's final Sword Laws move should be the second form, Sudden Shift, of the Two-Yi Sword Art."

"Judging from that single move, Chen Yuntian has already mastered the Two-Yi Sword Art to great completion."

Not only that, Chen Yuntian's comprehension of the Two-Yi Sword Art was probably already at the pinnacle realm.

"Young Master Qin Hao, then you..." Qin Xiongfeng said with worry.

Qin Hao smiled faintly, "Chen Yuntian is a good opponent."

"This..."

Qin Xiongfeng was dumbfounded, and then excitement surged in his heart. Although he had been defeated by Qin Hao in just a single Sword Laws strike when they fought, he had also experienced Qin Hao's terrifying strength.

From Qin Hao's Sword Laws strike alone, Qin Xiongfeng had even gained some insights. Now that Qin Hao dared to say this, he surely possessed the strength to battle Chen Yuntian!

"If that's the case, then the Young Master's strength is simply too terrifying." Infinite anticipation rose in Qin Xiongfeng's heart.

At that time, would he not shock everyone?

"Family Head Chen, congratulations! Your son truly possesses peerless natural talent and immeasurable potential!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! Young Master Chen entering the Myriad Phenomena Hall with the identity of the number one in the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament makes his future entry into the inner hall an absolute certainty."

At the Chen family's location, leaders of numerous factions were beaming with joy, successively stepping forward to offer congratulations to Chen Huo, the Family Head of the Chen family.

"Many thanks, many thanks. After the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament, my Chen family will host a banquet, and I kindly ask everyone to grace us with your presence."

Chen Huo laughed heartily, brimming with high spirits. His gaze drifted from time to time toward the directions of the Liu family and the Qin family, a hint of a sneer faintly curving the corners of his mouth.

The Chen family had been enduring in silence all along.

They did this precisely for today—to remain silent until making a sound, but once they did, to shock the world!

"Qin Hao of the Qin family, although he entered the top three of the Genius Tournament, only has a First-Grade Martial Soul and is not worth fearing." Chen Huo sneered inwardly. "Now the only one who can compete with my Chen family is the Liu family. However, with Tian'er's comprehension and aptitude, he will undoubtedly shine brilliantly after entering the Myriad Phenomena Hall, and it is not certain he cannot contend with Liu Ruoxue!"

"For my Chen family to flourish and grow is just around the corner!"

As long as they dominated Tianshui City, the Chen family could continuously nurture more teenage prodigies who would then enter the Myriad Phenomena Hall, creating a virtuous cycle!

Meanwhile, at the Liu family's location, Yang Benhong said loftily, "For this Chen Yuntian to cultivate to this level in a small place like Tianshui City shows some potential. Once he enters the Myriad Phenomena Hall, we can consider having him become a retainer of our Lei family."

Yue Yilin nodded indifferently. "This Liu Xiao is also not bad, but he still requires some observation."

As the largest sect within a radius of ten thousand li, the Myriad Phenomena Hall had tens of thousands of outer sect disciples alone. They formed various large and small factions, huddling together for warmth and teaming up even when venturing out on tasks to earn Contribution Points. Among them, the Lei family was one of the largest factions.

Becoming a Lei family retainer meant that, apart from receiving the basic cultivation resources issued by the Myriad Phenomena Hall every month, one could additionally obtain a share of cultivation resources from the Lei family.

Of course, whenever the Lei family issued a summons, one had to go and answer it.

Just as the two of them were talking, a Middle-aged Man walked onto the arena, swept his gaze across the surroundings, and said in a deep voice, "In the next match, Chen Yuntian versus Qin Hao!"

Qin Hao defeated Liu Kuang.

Chen Yuntian also defeated Liu Xiao.

The victor fights the victor!

Therefore, the upcoming match was the battle between Qin Hao and Chen Yuntian.

The victor of this match would be the champion of this Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament!

As for Liu Xiao and Liu Kuang, a match should have originally determined third place, but because Liu Kuang was already crippled, Liu Xiao won without fighting.

"I really didn't expect that dark horse Qin Hao to actually make it this far."

"What is there even to left to fight about? Even a genius like Liu Xiao is no match for Chen Yuntian, is there any need for Qin Hao to even go up?"

"Chen Yuntian will probably defeat Qin Hao in three moves, right?"

"How boring, this Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament should just end."

"What a pity, the next Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament won't be until three years later!"

The crowd discussed in low voices, and some people also wore mocking expressions.

They wanted to see just how Qin Hao would be tormented.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, Qin Hao obtaining the qualification for the top three was far too unexpected, and this made them somewhat displeased.

Even the few elders beside the rostrum shook their heads slightly.

Regardless of whether it was Chen Yuntian or Liu Xiao, the strength they displayed was simply too formidable. Qin Hao pushing into the top three had already surprised everyone—did he still want to contend with Chen Yuntian for first place? Impossible.

"Sister, it's that trash Qin Hao again!" Liu Ruojie revealed a look of terror.

Liu Ruoxue's pretty face sank, and she coldly rebuked, "A real man should have some backbone. Ruojie, once the Genius Tournament ends, I will return to the Myriad Phenomena Hall, and in the future, our Liu family will still be handed over to you. How can I feel at ease with you acting like this?"

"Although Qin Hao entered the top three, he is simply no match for Chen Yuntian."

"So, what are you afraid of? He is just trash anyway. A person like this who lacks self-awareness, fails to recognize the times, and possesses a terribly poor martial soul—even if he enters the Myriad Phenomena Hall, meeting an untimely death will only be a matter of time."

Liu Ruoxue wore an arrogant expression. Qin Hao entering the Myriad Phenomena Hall certainly surprised her, but a First-Grade Martial Soul was ultimately a First-Grade Martial Soul and could not change her view of Qin Hao.

"Sister, you mean..." Liu Ruojie was wild with joy.

He was truly terrified of Qin Hao. Not only had he been publicly slapped in the face by Qin Hao in the past and had his medicinal pills snatched, but now even Liu Kuang had been crippled by Qin Hao—how could he not be afraid?

Yang Benhong smiled. "Junior Sister Liu, this younger brother of yours is indeed a bit too timid, but what your sister said is right. This trash won't live long."

"Chen Yuntian's strength is obvious to all."

"In this battle, Qin Hao cannot win!"
