Pill God Returns

Very quickly, the referee recovered from his shock and announced the final result loudly. At the same time, he was also filled with anticipation for Wu Chen. With his Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage cultivation base, a talent like this was extremely rare.    

There was still one more year before the Competition of Multi Kingdoms. With Wu Chen's talent, if that was the case... Whether it was for him alone or the entire Great Qi Kingdom... It would also be a kind of supreme glory.    

"Little guy, do your best."    

After the battle between Wu Chen and Li Shiji, there were a few more matches after that. However, how could their matches be compared to the battle between Wu Chen and Li Shiji?    

After a whole day of intense competition, the second round of selection had come to an end. Including Wu Chen and Li Shiji, the ten of them had successfully advanced and entered the top hundred of the young generation in Great Qi Kingdom. The final competition would be held tomorrow with the other participants. They would see who the true king of Great Qi Kingdom was.    

Without a doubt, the news about today's competition had spread out very quickly, causing heated discussions. The streets, restaurants, and inns were all talking about it.    

"The preliminary selection of the Hidden Dragon Competition has already come to an end. The competition for the top one hundred is very intense."    

"That's not the case. A Spirit Sea Stage warrior. That's good to say. He can definitely enter the top one hundred. As for those below the Spirit Sea Stage, the competition is truly intense. It's simply unimaginable."    

"That's no wonder. There are too many Spirit Sea Stage warriors in this year's competition. There were very few spots left for the others. There were only a few of them, and after distributing them evenly, there was only one person in each field. How can the competition not be fierce? "    

"This time, the top 100 Hidden Dragon Competition are still the top three provinces and Xi Yang City. These four places have already taken up half of the quota, while the other counties only have one or two people."    

"That's right. The top three provinces are not something to brag about. Their strength is far from what the other counties can compare with."    

"Apart from the three provinces and the Xi Yang City, many experts have also emerged from the other provinces. For example, Lin Hu from India and Hu Yang from Maryland. These people are all extremely dazzling. Comparatively, the South Prefecture seems to be worse. If my guess is correct... This time, there should only be one person named Huangpu Jun who entered the top 100 in South Prefecture. "    

" You are wrong about that. Besides Huangpu Jun, there is another person in the South Prefecture who has entered the top 100. "    

"There is another person, who? Could it be the second ranked Murong Ke? That's not right. I have seen this person before today. He has yet to advance. Since he isn't the second ranked Murong Ke, could it be that he is the third ranked Yan Song? "    

"That's not right. You have guessed wrong. He isn't the second ranked Murong Ke, nor the third ranked Yan Song."    

"Neither of these two are. Who could it be? In South Prefecture, other than Huangpu Jun, is there anyone else who is stronger than these two?"    

"There is. There is one person whose strength is second only to Huangpu Jun in the South Prefecture. Or rather, his strength has already surpassed Huangpu Jun's."    

"Who on earth is stronger than Huangpu Jun? Who could be stronger than Huangpu Jun with such strength? Don't keep us guessing anymore, hurry up and tell us."    

"Alright, this is Wu Chen. Wu Chen, have you heard of this person?"    

" Wu Chen, what a familiar name. I think I have heard of him somewhere before. Oh right, isn't he the man from Yunfeng City? "    

"Yes, that's the Wu Chen from Yunfeng City."    

"That man is indeed powerful. He came from a trash city like Yunfeng City, but he has a Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage cultivation base. His talent is indeed very strong. Wait, what did you just say? You said that Wu Chen has entered the top 100?"    

"Yes, he has indeed entered the top 100."    

"He has entered the top 100. This is too terrifying. He came from that trash city in Yunfeng City."    

"You might not know the scariest thing. Not only did he enter the top one hundred, he also defeated a Spirit Sea Stage warrior."    

"He defeated a Spirit Sea Stage warrior. No, it's absolutely impossible. His cultivation base is only at the Ninth Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage. How could he defeat a Spirit Sea Stage warrior?"    

"I knew you wouldn't believe me, but this is the truth. Today, in the first arena, I saw with my own eyes that Wu Chen defeated a Spirit Sea Stage warrior, Li Shiji, and became the first person to defeat a Spirit Sea Stage warrior."    

"Defeating a Spirit Sea Stage warrior with a higher cultivation base? Is he still human?"    

...    

Similar conversations were everywhere. Wu Chen's name was also heard by everyone in Xi Yang City. Without a doubt, he was the biggest dark horse in this batch of Hidden Dragon Competition.    

In the evening, something else had happened. It had become even more sensational. Someone had broken through to the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage.    

"Do you know that Situ Jiannan has broken through to the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage?"    

"When did Situ Jiannan break through to the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage? How come I didn't know about it?"    

"It only happened not long ago. After today's second round of preliminaries ended, I heard that he broke through as soon as he returned."    

"Breaking through as soon as he returned? Isn't this a little too mysterious?"    

"Yeah, it's too mysterious. But no matter what, Situ Jiannan breaking through to the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage has become a fact."    

"Originally, Situ Jiannan's strength was already very powerful, and he was faintly showing signs of becoming the number one expert in Great Qi Kingdom. Now that he has broken through to the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage, he is fully deserving of being called the number one expert in Great Qi Kingdom."    

"This batch of Hidden Dragon Competition is undoubtedly the most prosperous batch in the Great Qi Kingdom in the past hundred years. Not only has a Third Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warrior appeared, even a Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warrior has appeared. This is truly a blessing. "    

...    

Situ Jiannan's breakthrough into the Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage had spread across the entire Xi Yang City like the wind. Soon, the entire Xi Yang City knew about it.    

When Wu Chen found out about this, he was shocked. Every time a Spirit Sea Stage warrior advanced to the Level 1, his strength would increase tremendously. Take a Second Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warrior as an example, he could easily defeat a First Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warrior. As for a First Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warrior, it was extremely difficult to defeat a Second Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage warrior. Compared to a Spirit Rotation Stage Level 1 defeating a Second Empyrean of Spirit Rotation Stage, the difficulty was several times greater. So much so that it was almost impossible.    

Wu Chen estimated that with his current strength... In order to deal with First Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage and Second Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage, there was a high chance of success. However, once he reached the Third Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage, he would need to deal with them. It wouldn't be an easy task, let alone a Fourth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage.    

Unless his cultivation base could advance a step further and reach the Spirit Sea Stage, only then would there be a glimmer of hope.
