Unfortunately, Li Chen was unable to fulfill his wish and ended up in the same group as the others. It seemed that the spectators below the arena were regretful that they did not see Li Chen and Li Jie fight first, and quite a number of them had already started comparing Li Chen to Li Ji.

Li Chen had become the biggest dark horse in the Sword Testing Meeting!

Li Huayuan, the Li family's Patriarch, looked at Li Chen in astonishment. He did not expect Li Chen's strength to increase so quickly, while Li Tianxing, who was at the side, looked down with a gloomy expression.

Li Chen bowed to his opponent, and Li Chen assumed the posture of waiting for his opponent to make the first move. The opponent seemed to be very afraid of Li Chen's earlier actions and had yet to make a move. Li Chen felt helpless and could only make a move first.

However, in Li Chen's eyes, his opponent's speed was still too slow. He received his opponent's attack and after a long period of training, Li Chen's feet were like a rock that was stepped on. His hands suddenly grabbed onto the youth's collar and casually spun him in the air.

"Bam!"

The youth was knocked to the ground, and the pain that came from his limbs and bones caused him to bend his waist.

"Li Chen!" Victory! "

Following the voice of the referee, an explosive sound of discussion sounded from below the stage.

"Hiss!" This Li Chen is actually this powerful! "

"Truly a man who never shows his face!" Yet we still treat him like trash! "

"It seems that Li Jun's first place is a bit shaky!"

"Just wait and see a good show!"

Below the stage, as the referee's voice fell, Li Lu gradually loosened her grip on her sleeve, revealing a joyful expression.

On the other side, Ning Caifu revealed a faint smile under her veil. Li Chen's actions were within her expectations.

At the side, Li Cheng's expression was somewhat unsightly. At this moment, his handsome face was somewhat gloomy. He originally didn't have a good impression of Li Jun, but now he only hoped that Li Jun would help him ruthlessly deal with Li Chen later! Let Li Chen never look up in front of Ning Caifu again.

Li Huayuan took a deep breath and said to Li Tianxing who was standing beside him, "It looks like we've misjudged him. With Li Chen's current strength, I'm afraid no one in the External Clan will be able to win against him!"

Li Tianxing hurriedly said when he saw Li Huayuan cherishing the talent, "How could that be?! "Don't forget that Li Chen has the physique of a trash, and his next opponent is Li Jie. He just broke through to a Sixth Martial Disciple not too long ago. Li Chen will do the same no matter what!"

Other than the referee, there were only three people standing on the stage. According to the rules of the previous round, only one of the lots was empty. The other two had to finish the match before they were qualified to compete for first place.

As for the person who had drawn the blank lot, his luck didn't seem as good as before. On the contrary, Li Jun had unexpectedly drawn the empty lot.

Everyone in the stadium exclaimed in disappointment.

Li Chen was relieved. These opponents in the outer hall really didn't even need to use his martial skills to win.

Sure enough, this lucky youth was defeated by Li Chen in just a few moves.

Li Chen looked at Li Jie, who was not far away, and the corner of his mouth formed a faint smile.

The last match began.

Everyone's attention was focused on the two people on the stage. Li Jun slowly pulled out a sword from her body. The sword emitted a faint cyan light.

"Good heavens! It's a middle grade Earth rank sword! "

Li Chen already knew that Li Jun's sword wasn't too bad, so he was prepared in his heart. He slowly unsheathed the sword from his back and poured his spirit energy into it. As if he could feel his master's will to fight, the sword emitted a humming sound and his body began to emit a faint purple light!

"Good heavens! This guy actually has a middle grade Earth rank sword! "

Two mid-grade Earth rank swords had appeared at the same time, and the wielder was also two Martial Disciples. This was too surprising!

At the side, Ning Caifu was puzzled as she listened to the discussions around her. Didn't the people from the Li Clan know that Li Chen was a refiner? For a refiner, a middle grade Earth rank sword was nothing out of the ordinary. It seemed that this guy had quite a lot of secrets on him!

On the arena, Li Chen and Li Jun had already started fighting.

Li Jun stomped his feet on the ground and charged towards Li Chen like a sword that had just left the bow.

His left hand formed a strange posture as his right hand gently pushed the sword. Li Jun only felt as if her sword was easily pushed away by Li Chen as the two of them got closer and closer. It was too late for Li Ji to stop, so he could only forcefully push his sword against Li Chen's body.

"Bam!"

Li Chen's left hand viciously smashed onto Li Ji's body. Li Ji's face immediately paled as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His body staggered a few steps back.

Of the two, it was clear who was higher and who was lower.

The whole hall became silent. They did not expect Li Jie, who was always known as the number one in the External Clan, to lose so miserably. However, many people were curious to know what kind of martial skill Li Chen used to be able to punch Li Jie.

Below the stage, Ning Caifu covered her mouth in surprise. If she wasn't mistaken, Li Chen also destroyed the core of the brown bear at that time in the Skypiercing Mountain Range. Li Ji's injuries this time shouldn't be too low.

"Do you want to come again?"

Li Chen said as he looked at Li Jun's unresigned expression, provoking her.

Li Cha fiercely stared at Li Chen and quickly stuffed something into his mouth. Following that, his entire body suddenly exploded with a powerful force.

"Pulse Breaking Mysterious Scholar! This aura is that of a Pulse Breaking Profound Practitioner! How could Li Ji have the power to break a profound practitioner's pulse! "

Li Chen's brows tightened, he knew that the fight between him and Li Jie would only end in death, but under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he was not willing to let Li Ji go, he could only act out a provocation, if he guessed correctly, Li Ji had just taken a spirit boosting pellet that would allow a martial artist to quickly advance to the Pulse Breaking Mysterious Realm! However, although this Spirit-Strengthening Pill could allow a person to increase their strength for a period of time, after the effects of the pill's effects, it would cause their strength to drop by a few steps, and they might not be able to cultivate again for a month or two.

The smile on Li Jie's face suddenly became even more sinister, he shouted loudly: "Go and die! "Li Chen!"

In fact, only when one truly reaches that level of strength would one be able to feel how big of a difference there is between the two. With a crazed smile on his face, the sword in his hand trembled, and then, his legs landed on the ground as he stabbed towards Li Chen's heart.

This sword, he wanted Li Chen's life!

"No!" Below the stage, Li Lu exclaimed.

No one would have thought that Li Chen would be able to avoid a powerful attack from a Pulse Breaking Mystical Scholar. Even Ning Caifu's heart began to tighten.

"Stop!" Li Huayuan, who was below the stage, quickly stopped Li Zhan. Now that Li Chen was so strong, he valued Li Chen greatly. If Li Chen had enough time, Li Chen would definitely become the number one expert in the Li family!

However, at this moment, no one could save Li Chen. The onlookers could only watch the stunning Li Chen die in a flash.

However, no one expected that just when everyone thought Li Chen would die, Li Chen's body suddenly twisted in a strange manner. Li Jun's sword had already arrived in front of Li Chen, but with a twist, Li Chen's sword actually pierced through the air! Immediately after, Li Chen took a strange step and silently appeared behind Li Jie.

Li Jun's eyes suddenly widened. Before she could even react, she heard Li Chen's low voice.

"Ten Directions Prison Suppression Fist!"

Li Jun's body flew through the air in a perfect arc before landing motionlessly on the ground like a sandbag.

The scene in front of them immediately stunned everyone. It was as if they could only hear the nervous breathing of the crowd.

Li Chen walked step by step towards Li Jie. A bad premonition appeared in Li Tianxing's mind. He hurriedly shouted, "Li Chen, stop right now!"

However, Li Chen turned a deaf ear. Under the watch of over a hundred pairs of eyes, the sword in his hand danced!

As for Li Ji, his body only trembled a few times before he stopped moving.

Li Tianxing did not care about his status as a senior as he hastily flew up onto the stage. He swung his palm towards Li Chen, who could stand up to the strength of Li Tianxing's Third Order Martial Ancestor. Blood gushed out of Li Chen's mouth.

Fortunately, Li Huayuan had blocked Li Tianxing's next attack, otherwise, Li Chen might have followed in Li Tianxing's footsteps!

"Patriarch!" Li Chen had disregarded the rules of the family! You saw how heartless you are when you act against your peers! This kind of person cannot be left alive! " Li Tianxing hastily said.

"Enough!" Li Huayuan shouted and his aura suddenly exploded. Li Tianxing was scared stiff and only then did Li Huayuan say coldly, "Everyone knows the truth of this matter! If they really wanted to pursue the matter! Let me ask you, where did this Spirit-Strengthening Pill come from? "

Li Huaiyuan's questioning made Li Tianxing speechless. He took a glance at Li Chen, then walked over to check Li Ji's aura, but luckily Li Ji was still alive despite his weak aura. He carried Li Ji and walked out of the testing grounds.

Li Huaiyuan looked at Li Chen, only to hear Li Chen coughing twice. He hurried over and asked, "Are you alright?"

Looking at Li Huaiyuan's concern, Li Chen felt a little sad in his heart. If he was truly a trash that could not cultivate, Li Huaiyuan would not question him even if he died on this stage today. No matter how sorrowful he was, Li Chen still replied, "I'm fine, Third Uncle."

Li Huayuan was overjoyed. He said to the audience, "I declare that the champion of today's Sword Testing Assembly is Li Chen!"

Immediately, a large amount of discussion broke out in the audience. It seemed that everyone still had some interest in today's Sword Testing Meeting, and quite a few people even started to worship Li Chen.

Everyone dared to be angry, but no one dared to make a sound. Just like in the past, when they brazenly robbed Li Chen's resources from Li Tianxing, they had actually done this kind of thing countless times. Now that they saw Li Jie was defeated, they couldn't help but to stand up for him in excitement.

Some of them even began to excitedly call out Li Chen's name!
