At the Sword-Seizing Tournament, Li Xingchen had already defeated three opponents in succession. His formidable combat strength astonished everyone present.
"As expected of the Young Master of the White Jade Tower. His strength is no worse than some Young Emperors. Truly impressive."
"Indeed. He certainly lives up to the reputation of the Astral Dao Body."
"Yes, astonishing."
"Even some Venerables probably aren't his match."
Everyone discussed it, marveling without exception.
Just then, a white longsword shot through the air and abruptly plunged into the ground before Li Xingchen. Everyone saw a young man with sword-like brows and bright eyes stride through the air. He soon reached the arena and stood with his back to them atop the sword's hilt.
His powerful aura and dashing entrance quickly drew cries of surprise from many people.
"I recognize him! Bai Qianjun, one of the Ten Peerless Talents! He's one of the awakened ancient Heavenly Prides, and his combat strength is formidable."
"That's right. Rumor has it that he's now joined the Wanfa Sect, and his standing there surpasses even Young Emperor Yuan Hong's."
"This Sword-Seizing Tournament has drawn him here too."
The Ten Peerless Talents were ten Heavenly Prides who had not obtained Emperor's Essence, yet whose cultivation talent and combat strength were no inferior to those of the Young Emperors.
There were even rumors that several of these ten disdained using Emperor's Essence to become Great Emperors. Their renown was no less than that of the Young Emperors.
"That sword looks good to me. I'll take it," Bai Qianjun said with absolute confidence after glancing at Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen frowned, somewhat displeased. "You can have the sword, but defeat me first."
Bai Qianjun raised three fingers at those words. "Three strikes."
"What do you mean?"
"I only need three sword strikes
