Strongest Replication

So, why did Chu Zhongtian spare one and kill the other? It was simply because the Chu Family didn't hate the Sun Family as much as the Tian Family.    

    

In addition, the Sun Family guy knew Chu Zhongtian's true strength, so he wanted the Sun Family guy to spread his name and influence in the Qi Country.    

    

The Tian family was different. They were the most loyal henchmen of the Wang Family. They were the weapon that the Wang Family used to deal with the Chu Family. When the two families would clash in the future, the Tian family might even be the vanguard. So, Chu Zhongtian just killed the cancer before it could spread.    

    

This Tian Family cultivator was called Tian Jun, and he was the leader of Tian Family's younger generations. So, killing him would be like nipping the development of the younger generations of the Tian Family in the bud.    

    

Now, he had a total of ten jade plates (four from the Sun Family and six from the Tian Family).    

    

He had a tenth of the total number of jade plates, so he was sure that he could get a spot in the top ten. But this was far from Chu Zhongtian's goal. His goal was the champion's spot or at least a spot in the top three. Therefore, ten plates seemed like nothing much to him.    

    

After putting away the jade plates, Chu Zhongtian did not leave in a hurry. He patiently gathered the spoils of war from his 14 victims.    

    

Most of the Hunting Contest's participants were geniuses from their respective families, so each one of them was filthy rich.    

    

Money was no longer useful to Chu Zhongtian, but he still couldn't give up on his desire.    

    

Whether it was before his transmigration or after, he had always been poor. He had always been trying his best to earn money, so he had a desire for wealth like no one else.    

    

Although the Sun Family and the Tian family weren't as strong as the three great families, they were still considered famous families in the Qi Country. So, their disciples were bound to have a lot of good stuff on them.    

    

Besides the gold notes worth of tens of thousands, he plundered over 130 low Level-10 spirit stones, 20 low Level-9 spirit stones, and more than a dozen Qi Increasing Pills.    

    

In addition, Chu Zhongtian unexpectedly found a low-rank martial arts skill on Tian Jun's body. Although it wasn't as precious as the skill he was practicing, he could still sell it for at least 50 low Level-10 stones.    

    

Chu Zhongtian was always in desperate need of spirit stones, so it was akin to a chance for him.    

    

After putting away his gains, Chu Zhongtian left the scene. As for the corpses on the ground, he didn't need to worry about them. Strange beasts would dine on them before long.    

    

For the rest of the journey, the number of strange beasts he encountered decreased; the number of participants he encountered increased. Also, the death count had been increasing exponentially all this time. Chu Zhongtian didn't stop at all the fights he encountered. He would simply bypass them.    

    

He would only stop for a fight if he found two parties with jade plates fighting or if he found a family that held a grudge against the Chu Family.    

    

Thanks to those rules, he didn't have to fight many battles, but he still fought four times in two days. One of those fights was to get three jade plates from two weak parties. It was a funny experience.    

    

The two parties hailed from a weak family, the kind that had no influence or connections in the Qi Country. So, Chu Zhongtian only showed them a little of his strength, and they ran away, scared. He just took the three jade plates from them as easy as that.    

    

He fought the remaining three times because someone saw the jade plates in his hand and wanted to snatch them away. So, he had no other choice to fight them.    

    

Chu Zhongtian wasn't a murderous devil. He wouldn't kill people unless it were the only choice. However, if someone took the initiative to provoke him, he would not act like a big softy; he would show no mercy and kill them all.    

    

Now, he had a total of 13 jade plates, and this could further improve his ranking.    

    

He was getting closer to the center, and the number of contestants he encountered was also increasing. Most of the participants were in their family's groups, huddling together for strength and security, and there were few lone rangers like Chu Zhongtian.    

    

Every lone ranger who could last so long and reach the center had to be very strong. As a result, very few people would take the initiative to provoke such lone rangers. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian did not meet anyone who provoked him.    

    

When he was less than ten miles away from the center, Chu Zhongtian finally encountered something. He had no choice but to stop, brandish his blade, and prepare for a battle.    

    

Two groups stood ahead of him, fighting with all their might. The group at a disadvantage was made up of Chu Family disciples, and it was being led by Chu Yuping, a Level-6 Qi Refiner.    

    

Chu Yuping was ranked third among the younger generation of the Chu Family, second only to Chu Zhongba and Chu Shixuan. He had a low Level-8 talent, a gentle temperament, and a massive influence over and popularity among the Chu Family's younger generation.    

    

His popularity was the very reason he didn't have a good relationship with Chu Zhongba. Also the reason he left Chu Zhongba's group with his own men.    

    

Anyway, the people Chu Yuping's group was fighting belonged to the royal family. And the royal group was being led by Qi Yiyuan.    

    

Qi Yiyuan was Qi Yiloong's elder brother. His talent was not as good as Qi Yiloong's, but his strength could not be underestimated. He was a peak Level-6 Qi Refiner and Chu Yuping's current headache.    

    

Now, the Chu Family wasn't at a disadvantage because of their low number. It was because the royal group had one more Level-6 Qi Refiner apart from Qi Yiyuan.    

    

This particular Level-6 Qi Refiner was quite strong too. He alone held back three Level-5 Qi Refiners from the Chu group.    

    

As a Chu Family disciple, Chu Zhongtian was well aware of the internal schemes and fights in the Chu Family. However, he also knew clearly that the family must stay united when it came to mutual enemies from the outside world. Therefore, he decided to give a hand to the Chu group.    

    

He circulated 40% of his spiritual power, activated his movement technique, and chose Qi Yiyuan as the next victim for his basic saber technique.    

    

"Brother Yuping, you go and deal with the other opponents. Leave Qi Yiyuan to me." Using his movement technique, Chu Zhongtian cleverly joined the battle as if he had always been there. Then, he used the saber technique to block Qi Yiyuan's attack at ease.    

    

"You are?" Chu Yuping was stunned for a moment after seeing the newcomer.    

    

Although this cultivator was also wearing the Chu Family uniform, Chu Yuping found him very unfamiliar. But he seemed to somehow vaguely recognize his voice.    

    

However, now was not the time to consider this problem. When he saw that the newcomer could not only block Qi Yiyuan's attack but also overwhelm him, Chu Yuping immediately felt relieved. Then, he roared furiously, lifted his steel knife, and rushed toward the other Level-6 Qi Refiner.    

    

"You're courting death!" Qi Yiyuan wasn't happy. Initially, he was at an advantage; he could've killed Chu Yuping, he could've made the Chu Family lose a genius, he could've gotten an important military achievement, but... now it was all gone.    

    

'The military achievement could've bought me enough resources for Level-7!!!'    

    

Chu Zhongtian's sudden arrival splattered mud all over his dreams. He was so angry that he cursed out loud. After that, he attacked with all his strength, hoping that he could instantly get rid of this annoying opponent.
