If Li Chen obtained first place, wouldn't that be a slap in the face for the sect? They had resources and connections, yet they couldn't compare to a rogue cultivator without resources or connections or background?

However, what these elders were worried about, in the eyes of everyone else, was impossible.

Just like Ling Yun Yu, who was on the stage, he was also sure that he would still be ranked first. Although Li Chen was also a Martial Saint, he was just an itinerant cultivator.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun looked at the dragon bone in Li Chen's hand with narrowed eyes. With an inexplicable expression, he said, "I won't waste any more time, it's better to finish the battle quickly!"

It was also Li Chen's first time fighting a Martial Saint. His blood was boiling and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, he immediately went up to test the depth of Ling Yun Yu's strength.

Lingyun let out a sneer and blocked all of Li Chen's probing attacks. Is that all you've got? Go all out! "I'm the number one ranked master of the genius rankings. Just who are you scratching an itch for?"

Li Chen's expression froze and he did not waste any more time speaking. A golden dragon roared out and the Manifestation Art also created the true flames. The surrounding people could feel the fire's intensity and heat and could not help but think, could this be Li Chen's power, the power of a Martial Saint?

Lingyun had a lot of treasures on him, but this sudden fire and the golden dragon that could call the wind and rain interested him a little. He quickly started to fight with the golden dragon.

When Li Chen saw this, he felt that Lingyun Jade had quite the courage. Furthermore, she did not hesitate to fight against the golden dragon. It was because she had the ability to be arrogant.

After Ling Yun had exchanged a few blows with the golden dragon, the golden dragon was still an illusion after all, and was formed from the dragon bone. It wasn't a real golden dragon, so with just a few strikes from Ling Yun, it was scattered.

Ling Yun stopped his attack, and the flames could not hurt him, so he said calmly: "I don't have time to play with you, since you're not going to use your full strength, then go and die!"

Lingyun Jade felt that it was meaningless. After releasing all of the Martial Saint's power, even the arena space was compressed and distorted for a moment. Lingyun did not care what the consequences of using all of the Martial Saint's power would be.

This was also the first time Li Chen had competed with a Martial Saint. Of course, Lingyun's cultivation was not as high as the beast that made him unable to fight back. However, it was also on par with Li Chen.

Li Chen knew that he was probably going to go all out this time. Sure enough, it wouldn't be easy to be first.

Under Lingyun Jade's attack, Li Chen was so fast that he was almost unable to keep up. The speed was too fast and the strength was too strong, so Li Chen could only keep up his defense, creating one wall after another to block Lingyun Jade's attack.

When he found the opportunity, he would use 'Soul Stealing Steps' to advance forward. However, Ling Yu's technique was not low either. With a flash, her entire body disappeared from the stage.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to the side. He could hear the sharp whistling of the wind from the palm. It was Lingyun Jade who had suddenly appeared to the left of Li Chen.

Ling Yun Yu's expression was a little surprised. After a while, he disappeared from this world, and Li Chen was unable to feel this person's aura.

He thought to himself, this Lingyun Jade's technique is really powerful, he would believe it even if it's called a Heaven-Stage. After all, it can't even detect his skill, so it's not very high leveled.

Li Chen felt that he couldn't continue like this as the air started to emit a fragrance. This was the most formless move in Li Chen's Manifestation Art, only fragrance would pass by. No matter how high your cultivation level was, as long as you were exposed to the fragrance, you would be exposed.

Indeed, Li Chen suddenly raised his head and raised the dragon bone in his hand to block. "Clang clang!" A loud sound rang out, and Li Chen was severely shaken by the power until the ground caved in by half a meter deep, while his expression was extremely exhausted. Other than that attack, Li Chen did not move, or to be more precise, he could not move.

The dragon bone in Li Chen's hand began to buzz non-stop. Li Chen gritted his teeth and suddenly used another power in his body as he jumped away from the spot. As the dragon bone continued to persevere, Li Chen took a big stride forward.

"Ten Directions Prison Suppression Fist!"

With a loud shout, his fist swept towards Lingyun Jade who was still in the air, but when Lingyun Jade saw that Li Chen was able to break through his Body Securing Technique and immediately attacked him, a bow suddenly appeared in his hands. He dodged and pulled back the bow, "Swish ~ Swish!" Whoosh! Three consecutive strikes of spirit energy turned into sharp arrows that shot out in three different directions towards Li Chen.

Bows and arrows? Li Chen was shocked. Lingyun's weapon was actually an arrow, and its aura was extremely vicious. With the pull of the bow, it was even more powerful, the buzzing sound was so fast that Li Chen could not even see the shadow of the arrow.

The arrow was already right in front of Li Chen's face. Li Chen immediately reacted, but it was already too late, Li Chen's right hand was still injured by the arrow, but the second arrow came from the left. Li Chen dodged to the right and the third arrow pierced his right hand.

He had originally thought that a weapon that could injure his half-demon body would not exist, but he never thought that he would encounter it right here. Furthermore, the healing speed of the wound was extremely slow, and with Li Chen's half-demon body, the healing speed was extremely fast. Not only was his body pierced, the healing speed was extremely slow.

Seeing that, Ling Yun Yu said coldly: "You only got hit by one arrow, not bad!" The expression on his face didn't look good. His eyes were filled with hostility as he shot countless spiritual energy arrows towards Li Chen from all directions.

As Ling Yun's speed became faster and faster, more and more arrows flew towards him from all around Li Chen.

Seeing that Li Chen was about to be shot all over, Li Chen stomped on the ground and appeared behind Ling Yu. The power of the dragon bone in his hand struck towards the back of Ling Yun's head, and with a flip of his left hand, his fist landed on Ling Yu's back and chest.

Ling Yun flipped over, and placed the bow in front of him. "Boom!" A golden light was emitted from the bow as it was struck by two powerful forces. As for Li Chen, he was knocked back several steps by the impact of the bow.

Li Chen raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. "What a good weapon."

With that, he rushed towards Lingyun Jade again. Lingyun Jade had said that they would end the battle quickly, but after dozens of moves, Li Chen's countless moves were still the same, making him impatient. A loud shout was heard, "Divine Art — Rise!"

As Ling Yun Yu shouted, the golden light around the bow shot out, the spirit energy in the air quickly gathered to form a human figure, holding onto the bow and arrows, the spirit energy gold light fused together, forming countless golden arrowheads, the space on the stage looked like it was about to distort, following which the human figure pulled the bow, and the arrowhead shot out.

At the same time, Lingyun Jade also attacked Li Chen alone. With the Godly Art in her hands, she repeatedly dodged Li Chen's attacks. The Heavenly Energy contained in the Godly Art fiercely suppressed Li Chen. The countless golden light arrows also shot towards Li Chen from all directions.

The crowd below the stage could not see anything, only the countless golden lights and the white humanoid shape floating in the air, as well as the bow.

Sand and stone flew about on the stage as strong gales swirled around everywhere. Hidden by the golden light, the people hiding in the distance could only see a shadow that was about to become a sword light. They didn't know whether it was Li Chen or Ling Yun who had the advantage.

This match was so intense that it covered the sky and covered the moon. The golden light was boundless as countless vortexes of wind and spiritual energy mixed together. At least the arena formation had opened, and the audience had to move a hundred meters away.

Ling Yun Yu, who was in the middle of the stage, suddenly spoke: "If you don't admit defeat, then die!"

Lingyun was already angry from embarrassment. He, as the number one expert on the Stellar Sea Ranking, was still in a draw even after such a battle. The shock and unwillingness in her heart directly turned into raging anger, all she wanted to do was to get rid of this troublesome Li Chen.

Lingyun was like this because he had a feeling that he would lose if this went on. The first place could only be his, and the Star Sea experts could only be his limelight. Nobody could break it, nobody could snatch it away from him.

After working smoothly for more than twenty years, Ling Yun Jade could be said to have been flattered and taught by various masters and uncles. He was the strongest, and only he, the strongest, had the highest chance of becoming the genius of War God.

He had been arrogant since he was young, yet he had not suffered a single loss. Right now, he had a sudden premonition that he was going to lose, and it was obvious how much fear and disbelief he had brought to Ling Yun. His moves were extremely ruthless, and the killing intent in his eyes was limitless; he only had one thought in mind, and that was to kill Li Chen.

Only by killing him would he be the strongest, and also the only strongest genius among the young generation.

No matter how he tried to dodge the arrows, he was useless. His body was already riddled with scars, and the bow had an artifact spirit, and the artifact spirit was not weak either. At the very least, Li Chen's Divine Weapon Incantation and Spirit Controlling Technique had no effect on it.

However, Lingyun Jade's condition wasn't too good either.

Under the various elemental attacks that Li Chen executed with all his might using "Soul Stealing Steps" and the Manifestation Art, more and more wounds appeared on Ling Yun Yu's body.

When the bow thought of something, Li Chen's eyes turned cold. The Holy Jade Bottle flew out from his body and smashed against the golden bow.

"Bang ~"

"Rumble …"

Sounds of collisions and a contest of strength could be heard. Even the supreme Divine Weapons started to fight evenly with the mysterious golden bow, causing the space around them to distort even more. Even the formation with the runes faintly showed signs of collapsing.
