The gold-colored spiritual energy was torn into countless pieces in the air and scattered to the surroundings.

At this moment, Li Chen's gaze indifferently glanced at the nearby time. Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since the end of the match. When he looked at Gongsun Jian's head, it had actually turned into two hundred and seventy heads!

Fifty more than before!

This guy!

Li Chen had no choice but to end the battle as fast as he could. His hand was wrapped in black spirit energy. He then quickly moved forward and threw out a palm, sending the man in front of him out of the training field.

The number behind Li Chen's name jumped a few times and immediately ranked at the top, surpassing Gongsun Jian.

At this point, the competition was already coming to an end. Many people wanted to take advantage of the last minute opportunity to challenge someone and perhaps enter the top three. However, when they looked at the ranks on the rankings, they could see just how strong that person was.

Li Chen looked towards Gongsun Jian. He was actually still competing. Looking at his side, there was actually no one challenging him.

"Bam!"

Gongsun Jian's side raised another huge cloud of dust. Li Chen's gaze tightened and landed on the jade screen not far away. Gongsun Jian's name jumped a few times and actually appeared in front of Li Chen!

"Whooosh."

Just when Li Chen was thinking about his bet with Gongsun Jian today, he suddenly heard an uproar. He couldn't help but look over.

Not far away, a youth in armor was standing on the stage with a proud expression. Not far away from him, a violet-clothed youth was lying on the ground, blood flowing from his mouth.

Li Chen was slightly surprised.

At this moment, Jin Zhong's voice rang out, signaling that it was time for everyone in the training field. Li Chen's gaze landed on the jade stone.

An unfamiliar name leapt up and became the current first.

"Du Yunfei." Li Chen muttered this name.

Li Chen's gaze landed on the armored face not far away. His face was covered by a golden mask, making it hard to see his face. He could only faintly feel that this person was young.

That person seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look at Li Chen.

In that instant, Li Chen felt a special feeling in his heart. He felt that it was very strange, but just as he wanted to take a closer look at the young man, he already turned around and left the stage.

Currently, the one with the highest ranking was Du Yunfei. Behind him, there were 340 heads.

Next came Gongsun Jian, 339.

The third was Li Chen, two hundred and eighty-five.

It was obvious that the competition for first place would be held between the few of them. However, Li Chen took a glance in the direction of Du Yunfei. This person had been following behind them the entire time.

At this moment, Gongsun Jian walked up to Li Chen's side with a look of worry on his face.

"What's wrong? Brother Gongsun, what are you doing with a bitter face even if you win? " Li Chen lightly smiled as he made fun of him.

Gongsun Jian seemed to be in a very absent-minded mood and did not show any other expression because of Li Chen's teasing. He waved his hand and said: "Brother Li Chen, don't tease me."

Normally, Gongsun Jian would have made fun of Li Chen by inviting him to treat him to a meal. However, today seemed to be quite abnormal.

Li Chen's gaze landed on Du Yunfei's back. Could it be because of Du Yunfei?

"Go!" Brother Gongsun! I'll treat you to a meal! "

Li Chen patted Gongsun Jian's shoulder as he smiled.

Although Gongsun Jian had something on his mind, he wasn't at a point where he couldn't stomach it. He followed Li Chen out to eat.

"Brother Gongsun seems to have something on his mind? Why don't you tell me about it? "Although I'm not as knowledgeable as Brother Gongsun, I might be able to help Brother Gongsun out a bit."

Since Li Chen had already said so, if he were to continue hiding it, he wouldn't treat Li Chen as a friend anymore. Gongsun Jian thought for a moment, then he cupped his hands towards Li Chen and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Does Brother Li Chen know who that Du Yunfei is?"

Li Chen shook his head. Everyone here came from all over the world, and he knew very little about the others. He really did not know the background of this Du Yunfei.

Although they were in a private room, Gongsun Jian still looked around with a bit of worry and said, "I told Brother Li Chen that I'm from a hidden aristocratic family, but there are actually different levels of people from a hidden aristocratic family."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows. To him, these hidden aristocratic families were just looking for something to do. Although the name was' Hidden Noble Families', it was just a pretence of not knowing the world. It made him seem like he was out of this world.

As far as Li Chen knew, Wan Tongtian had hooked up with a hidden aristocratic family in order to keep his position as emperor.

However, although he did not put the hidden aristocratic families to heart, Li Chen would not say so in front of Gongsun Jian.

"Like my Gongsun family, we are not afraid of Brother Li Chen making fun of us. We are only an ordinary third-rate hidden family. However, we are always biased against the secular world and think ourselves to be extraordinary."

As he spoke to here, even Gongsun Jian couldn't help but smile in a mocking manner. He then continued, "Look at me, I've already said that I've changed the topic!"

Li Chen stood to the side and gave Gongsun Jian some tea as he said, "If Brother Gongsun is only a third-rate family, then what about Du Yunfei?"

"The Du Family is considered a first-rate family within the hidden families …" Gongsun Jian frowned, drank a bit of tea to moisten his throat before saying: "I believe Brother Li Chen also knows that there is a special reward for this competition."

Li Chen nodded, "I know it's a copy of the Sword of the Supreme Dao's Azure Underworld."

This incident caused a burst of surprising enthusiasm in the crowd at the start. It was a matter that everyone knew.

Gongsun Jian gave a wry smile, "I once heard from my clan members that the Qingming Sword is in the Du Clan!"

Li Chen was truly surprised, but he also did not understand why Du Yunfei would still be sent if the Green Hellish Sword was already a treasure of the Du Family.

"What I don't understand the most is that they, a group of people from first-rate aristocratic families, have all started to flee into the secular world …" Gongsun Jian mumbled.

Li Chen actually wanted to ask those ordinary people how much power they had. Why was Gongsun Jian so afraid? No matter what, he was a third-rate, hidden aristocratic family.

However, in the end, Li Chen did not ask. He was not very interested in these things and he would not stay here for long anyway. Once the competition was over, he would go to another place to gain more experience and stay there for a long time.

Gongsun Jian seemed to be at a loss. He muttered: "Why do you think Du Yunfei suddenly appeared here? I originally thought that he was just curious and wanted to gain some experience, but who would have thought that he would want to fight for the top spot now? For a replica of the Green Hellish Sword? For someone who has even seen real ones, why would he hold onto a handful of copies? " Gongsun Jian said blankly.

Li Chen once again poured a cup of tea for Gongsun Jian and comforted him, "Brother Gongsun, no need to think too much. He did not reveal his true identity, we will only be competing against him in the competition the day after tomorrow. Gongsun Jian was comforted, but his heart was still not at ease. "No, no, I think I will withdraw from the competition the day after tomorrow! "I am the heir to the clan, and do not seek to bring the clan too much honor. However, I cannot bring disaster upon the clan …"

The two talked for a while before Gongsun Jian suddenly said, "Eh? "Why haven't our dishes arrived yet?"

At this moment, it had been more than two hours since they had entered. Let alone those big dishes, even the cold vegetables should be served to them so that they could fill their stomachs first, right?

The two of them felt it was a little strange, so Gongsun Jian made up his mind. Right now, he was a lot more relaxed. Seeing that no one had brought food for so long, he called for the waiter to ask about it.

They were in a private room. Generally speaking, there would be female attendants guarding the outside. As long as they were instructed to enter, people would come in.

At this moment, the elegant maid's face was filled with bewilderment, "The business here today is too good …" "So it might be a little slow …"

Gongsun Jian and Li Chen were both stunned. What business was this? This wasn't an excuse at all. Furthermore, they had ordered some good wine and dishes, and had even spent a large amount of money to choose a room.

Just then, a waiter ran over and said, "I'm sorry masters, the shop is really too busy today! Please wait for a moment. "

Li Chen and Gongsun Jian looked at each other. Finally, Li Chen said, "Fine, then let's wait a little longer!"

They were here to eat, not to cause trouble. Since the waiter had already said so, they had no choice but to wait.

After the female attendant and the waiter had left, Gongsun Jian frowned and said, "Why do I feel that these people are so strange?"

Not to mention Gongsun Jian, even Li Chen had the same feeling. When he thought back to the last time they came, the waiter's attitude was very good. This time, he was clearly a bit perfunctory.

"Wait a little longer. If you still don't serve the dishes, we'll go find the owner!"

However, this time, they truly didn't have to wait for too long. Very quickly, someone brought up delicate dishes to them.

The restaurant that Li Chen and the others came to was called the Delicious Restaurant, and it was famous for being delicious.

It was said that even Wan Tongtian was full of praise after he came here.

"That's more like it! Wouldn't it be the end if we served earlier! " Gongsun Jian said as he extended his hand to grab a steamed bun for himself.

For some reason, Li Chen felt that something was off today. He extended his chopsticks to stop Gongsun Jian, indicating for him to be quiet and pay attention to the outside.

The two of them were high level Martial Ancestor Realm experts and their spiritual will was above average. At this moment, Li Chen gestured for Gongsun Jian to listen to what was being said outside, and Gongsun Jian immediately understood what was going on.

The voices outside were very soft as if they were afraid that someone would eavesdrop. However, Li Chen still heard words like "wait for them to sleep" and "wait for orders from above" from time to time.

Someone was trying to harm them?

The two of them looked at each other in shock. They could see the same message in each other's eyes …
