678 The Number One Genius in the Entire Universe
"Why not?" Chen Xiaobei asked, puzzled.
"This time, the Heroes of War Martial Arts Competition is rather special!"
"I know. There is an ancient faction sponsoring this martial arts competition. Not only is the reward attractive, those who manage capture the attention of the ancient faction might even receive an opportunity to be recruited to join the ancient faction."
"That is only half right! The winner will receive three thousand Spiritual Stones! The person who places second will receive one thousand and five hundred Spiritual Stones! The one who places third will receive five hundred Spiritual Stones! This is the kind of unprecedented reward that no one has seen before! Given a few generations, it is still not possible for ordinary Jianghu folks to gather this enormous amount of Spiritual Stones! As the saying goes, with abundant rewards, one would eventually be brave enough to do anything!"
"Judging from the current situation, other than the previous top ten elites that were listed on the leaderboard, there will be mysterious elites from all over the country to participate in this martial arts competition! I even heard that disciples from the ancient faction are interested in it as well!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the ranked one Liu Chunyi will be pushed out from top three rank this year! Now, you can imagine how intense the competition is going to be! Taking part in this competition is no different from placing yourself in an extremely dangerous situation!"
Luo Puti tried her best to explain everything that she knew to Chen Xiaobei. She was clearly concerned about Chen Xiaobei's safety.
"How did you know so much about this competition?" Chen Xiaobei asked curiously with a smile.
"I'm after all the chief inspector of Six Doors! It should surprise you that I have all the first-hand information of Jianghu! Just listen to me! Just surrender when it's your turn to fight! Your mom and dad will surely be sad if you get badly hurt!"
"Let's not get to the ending first. Tell me, what kind of elites can cause Liu Chunyi to drop from being top three? What if I can do the same?"
"You? I think you should stop the tough act! I know exactly how powerful you are! Those who can take down the top three of the leaderboard are so powerful that even I have to avoid them!"
"Tell me now! Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Considering that Liu Chunyi was first on the leaderboard for several years now and Luo Puti had already achieved True Nirvana Stage, it would be terrifying if someone they could not defeat joined the competition!
"For example, the elite that ranked second on the leaderboard, Wei Dongwu. He is around twenty-eight years old and his combat power is around 31,000! Last year, Liu Chunyi's performance was only slightly better than his! This year, he is blessed with a golden opportunity. From what I know, his combat power had increased tremendously! Now, he is definitely stronger than Liu Chunyi!"
"31,000 combat power is not really that powerful! Do you have someone more powerful in mind?"
"When will you stop acting tough? 31,000 combat power is not powerful enough for you? My current combat power is 30,000. Do you know that I have to train for at least three years to get an increment of 1,000 combat power?"
"Erm… I'm not trying to act tough here… Getting an extra 1,000 combat power will only take me a day or so…"
"Increasing 1,000 combat power in a day? Do you really think I will be stupid enough to believe in what you say? I'm going to ignore you if you continue to act tough in front of me!"
"Alright! Alright! I will stop now. Please continue…"
Unbeknownst to others, all he needed to do was to train for another five days to achieve pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. Then, with the help of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill, he would be able to achieve True Nirvana Stage! That was the crazy part of the Scripture of Heaven and Earth – the secret manual created by the Prime of Tongtian!
"Wei Dongwu's 31,000 combat power is definitely more than enough to allow him to defeat us easily! But, no one knows whether he can keep his third position on the leaderboard this year! According to the intel collected by Six Doors, there are at least four persons powerful enough to grab the top three positions!"
"For example, Wu Aofeng from Xibei! He is around twenty-eight years old. For years, he locked himself in his residence to train himself! Earlier, he announced to Jianghu that he is going to take part in this martial arts competition. There were a group of people who tried to stop him. In the end, he killed hundreds of them alone! Among those hundreds of people, three of them were elites with True Nirvana Stage! To be honest, not even three Liu Chunyis are powerful enough to defeat Wu Aofeng!"
Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei could not help but praise, "My beloved country is so vast that powerful elites were like dragons hidden all over the place!"
"Other than that, there is this person from Miaojiang, Tai Yitan! He is around twenty-five years old! For years, he stayed active in the deeper part of Miaojiang. Legend had it that he had achieved True Nirvana Stage while he was twenty-two years old! The number one genius of China should be him! Now, three years had passed. I'm afraid his combat power should be around the same as Wu Aofeng!"
"And, don't forget about Huo Yuanba! He is around twenty-nine years old! His combat power is around 33,000! His name is well-known in our country! He spends most of his life in foreign countries. You should know that he is the faction leader of Hong Faction overseas! He is given the title Eastern Europe War Bear! His iron fists have allowed him to dominate the whole of Eastern Europe!"
Upon hearing all that, Chen Xiaobei could feel his blood rushing. With all these combat geniuses crashing this martial art competition, the silence in Jianghu would eventually be broken! An intense and unprecedented martial arts competition was brewing!
"Wu Aofeng, Tai Yitan, and Huo Yuanba will have the chance to take the second and third spot on the leaderboard!"
"Who is going to get the first place? Tell me now!"
"This man is unique! So far, Six Doors has not acquired much information about him! All I know is this person is still quite young. He should be in his twenties. It seems like he is from an ancient faction. My intel tells me that he's here to experience life! I also heard that he slapped the face of the elder from Mount Shu Faction until it swelled! Maybe you don't know about it yet. Mount Shu Faction is one of the most powerful ancient faction! Their elders are extremely powerful! On average, the combat power of an elder is around 40,000!"
"No doubt, this person will surely take the first place if he decided to join this competition! Honestly speaking, this is just outrageous! I was so happy that I finally achieved True Nirvana Stage! However, when compares with a monster like that, I'm nothing…"
*Pffffft*
Chen Xiaobei could not help but laugh. The 40,000 combat power elder was none other than Situ Hengfeng! And, the monster than Luo Puti just mentioned was none other than Chen Xiaobei!
"Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing. I think the rumor is exaggerated! I don't think there is such a powerful existence in this world! If there is, I think the person is the number one genius in this entire universe! Right?"
