The two of them did not say that they were jealous of Li Chen at all, or even suspected that Li Chen had some sort of great treasure. After all, after being in contact with him for a while, everyone could see just how strong Li Chen was.
One had to know that the tournament was held once every ten years, but after ten thousand years, the geniuses of the tournament had a lot of water.
If he wanted to prove that he was truly worthy of the term genius, then he would have to rely on the accumulated points from killing fiendish demons in half a month. Only the top 60 would be recognized as a genius by a high-level powerhouse.
As for the top ten, it was a genius seed contestant that everyone was paying attention to and recommending. However, it was obvious that in every ten years competition, the names of the top ten geniuses would have unexpected dark horses.
This year's number one dark horse, was Li Chen.
Regardless of whether it was the rankers or the other clans, they only knew that Li Chen was a rogue cultivator from the Luo Hong City.
However, the martial skill that Li Chen had displayed, the Cultivation Methods and even the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hands, the majority of the experts all guessed that either it was a master with a rich background who hid his true identity, or it was this person's luck that was so good that it could make one's hair stand.
Both conjectures were the most likely.
This also allowed Li Chen to create a small wave in this competition between geniuses in the Brahma! He had been noticed by many experts and was intentionally trying to win him over.
Of course, right now, Li Chen didn't know anything at all. He was incomparably calm as he stood on the spot, and looked at those people who were not ranked in the top ten, with eyes filled with unwillingness and envy.
Seeing that everyone had left and only sixty-four young talents remained, even though Li Chen's face was very calm and composed, he was still shocked in his heart for a long time.
In the genius competition, there were nearly 30,000 cultivators, but in the end, all of them were eliminated, leaving only the top 50 and the top 3 teams.
This elimination rate was outrageously high. It was unknown whether the number of participants in the selection was random, or had always been like this!
It wasn't just Li Chen who was shocked, even those who could stay were more or less. Li Chen looked over each and every one of them, with a face filled with excitement and shock. This observation of his also allowed Li Chen to guess, that in the genius competition ten years ago, the number of people who could stay would definitely be more than this year.
No matter what one said, even if there were people who were dissatisfied, they could only unwillingly leave as they were just a small group of people in the War God Realm. Regardless of their background, none of them would dare to easily resist the head of the Capital.
The old man on the podium smiled even more. It was obvious that he was happy that the little guys didn't resist and left obediently. He didn't need to do anything.
Every ten years, the genius competition would become more and more rigorous. There would probably be fewer left until the end of the next ten-year genius competition.
The old man did not know whether to be thankful that the alchemist had refined countless elixir pills and elixirs that could raise one's cultivation, or whether it was sad that the people of the martial world were relying on external items to improve themselves. From then on, they would become arrogant and ignorant, naive and foolish.
As long as one had money, power and influence, the descendants of the clan would not need to go out and experience life and death situations to directly reach the peak of War God.
Therefore, it couldn't be blamed that the genius competition was currently split into two parts. In the beginning, there was only one trial to be held in the genius competition.
However, right now, in order to find out whether one was capable or not, there were only two parts to be competed in.
This was also the reason why there were only a few experts present in the first part of the Genius Tournament.
There would be more geniuses coming tomorrow.
The sixty-four geniuses who'd broken through the encirclement and been recognized were arranged in one place. It was quite simple to notify the location of the competition tomorrow morning.
This time, Xie Lingtian and Fen Xiangxiang were in the rankings, and the rest were people from different cities. Of course, there was another familiar person, and that was the third place in the team, Fen Cheng's group.
Within a radius of 50 km, there was only an empty space. In the middle were 3 round tables 5 meters tall, and within the 20 km in the distance, the upper floors that were surrounded by a semicircle around the spectating tower also had a very impressive scene.
As for the other areas, there were also some participants that wanted to see the final elimination. As for the other small factions that were responsible for recruiting people, that was also one of them.
Just as everyone was praising, Fen Cheng walked over to them with a smile.
Although Fen Xiangxiang was extremely disgusted with Fen Cheng, he would never hit someone who was smiling, not to mention the current scene, where many powerhouses were spectating, their royal family's internal conflict was not just for others to watch.
On the other hand, Xie Lingtian did not give them any face, they had completely broken all decorum previously, and Li Chen just did not want to bother with this person.
Fen Cheng did not care about the attitude of Li Chen and the other two, and continued to speak: "Brother Li is truly well-hidden, with such powerful strength, looks like if we were to arrange a competition in the clan, we would need Brother Li to admit it."
Li Chen looked at Fen Cheng, not understanding what the man was planning. This was entirely to flatter his tempo, when they were at the Secret Realm, they were extremely eager to cut him down while he was down, to stab him in the back.
"Yes!"
Therefore, Li Chen did not waste time talking, and directly agreed to it. Fen Cheng was really not his opponent right now, if he was to defeat Fen Cheng, Li Chen would be extremely confident, and would not be as weak as when he met Fen Cheng for the first time.
Furthermore, Li Chen's current realm seemed to be weakening, because after the tournament, he would probably advance to a small realm.
Li Chen's response instantly caused the surrounding people, who did not know the truth, to ridicule: "Fourth level of the War God Realm? "Hehehe, what shameless boasting. Right now, we really want all sorts of people in this competition. It's obvious that you are a country bumpkin and weak chicken. Others are courteous to others and yet you take it seriously."
Li Chen and Fen Cheng had offended both of them.
Li Chen looked coldly at the man, and the expression on Fen Cheng's face darkened for a moment, then recovered back to normal as he smiled, seems like he could still pretend really well.
"Brother Li's strength is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten first place, right? That would be thousands or even tens of thousands of points ah! "A third of the points are all from brother Li. I dare not be careless."
Fen Cheng's face revealed a look of reverence, he looked at the man and spoke, then turned and spoke to Li Chen: "Brother Li, you have to treat every participant seriously, you cannot go easy on them!"
When Fen Cheng said this, it could be considered as him giving Li Chen a strong feeling of presence, of course it would also be filled with hatred. No matter what kind of expression he had on his face, the moment he said that, everyone ignored his little trick and stared straight at Li Chen.
The strongest practitioner, Li Chen, was actually only at the fourth level of War God. Now, everyone was filled with disbelief and unwillingness, and there were even some people who had already set up a huge background for Li Chen, so the first place must have been bought.
However, they did not dare to openly tell the examiners that there was an inside story behind the cheating! After all, they were unable to fight, and even more so, couldn't do anything about it. Thus, they could only use their jealous eyes to size up Li Chen.
Li Chen didn't have much of a reaction. Since young, the number of people who harbored malice and doubts towards him had already reached an uncountable number.
Fen Cheng said all this while standing there by himself, but other than Li Chen's initial gracious response, she didn't even look at him. Her expressionless face made Fen Cheng a little angry, and he only thought that Li Chen was making things difficult for him.
"It's better if you don't disgrace yourself. Just looking at you makes me feel annoyed." Fen Xiangxiang didn't know why, but even though Li Chen didn't say anything, she was a little concerned that other people's words and words would always insult Li Chen. Furthermore, this brother in front of her who had a grudge with her was from a different father and mother, so she came out to chase him away impatiently.
"Hehe, Seventh Sister shouldn't be so petty. You'd better pay more attention to your safety in the upcoming competition." Fen Cheng responded with a cold laugh, he then turned and said to Li Chen: "I really wish to have a fight with Brother Li, see you later."
Seeing the disgusting fellow leaving after saying his last sentence, Fen Xiangxiang rolled his eyes and said to Li Chen: "Later on, this guy will really fight with you. Don't show mercy, this guy just needs to be tidied up and thinks the entire world should respect him."
"Every time I fight, I go all out. I don't show any mercy." Li Chen said in an indifferent tone.
Xie Lingtian added: "I've looked at the people who have been promoted and their strengths are not to be looked down upon. That Fen Cheng, he really might not be able to last for long."
The arena was so large, no matter how Li Chen and the other two kept their voices down, the surrounding people all possessed the strength of someone at the sixth or seventh level of War God.
So, even if Fen Cheng walked a little further, he didn't reveal a single word. After hearing it clearly, he lowered his head, and no one knew what kind of expression he had, but looking carefully at his clenched fists, with his veins popping out, one could tell that he was currently in a bad mood. Following behind Fen Cheng were his four subordinates, who had also taken half a step back.
