Chapter 309 The Cat's Carnage Overturned? (Sixteenth Update! 4900 Monthly Tickets Added! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

This has always been a tradition.

One of the water-walking activities involves using wooden planks strung together with ropes to suspend them on the water. They sink when stepped on, but if someone has trained specifically, even an ordinary person can walk twenty or thirty meters without falling into the water.

The main channel of the Tiancang River is incredibly wide; even in relatively narrow sections, it is about three kilometers wide, with a full kilometer of planks in the water.

To walk a kilometer on water without falling in requires an extreme level of physical and mental strength, as well as exceptional control over one's own power—something many seasoned swimmers may not be able to achieve.

After treading the water comes the mountain of knives. The knives are sharp, and to step on them without getting hurt requires an extremely meticulous mind and enough courage. Otherwise, if one's mind wavers, it is inevitable to make a mistake and be eliminated.

As for the final drum-stepping challenge, the large drum was fixed to a section of the shore by stakes, a distance of only about fifty meters. However, arrows flew out from both sides, and once hit, one was eliminated.

If we were to start this level directly from the beginning, it would be fine. But having to go through the first two levels first, which drain our mental and physical energy, and then facing this challenge, is undoubtedly a huge test.

Therefore, every Great Witch Competition, even the first day of the preliminary rounds, is extremely exciting, with each contestant displaying their unique abilities.

Only by passing the three challenges of the first day can one proceed to the competition on the second day.

At that time, each contestant will sail in a boat on a fixed section of the river. The boats can collide with each other, and there are no rules. Falling into the water means being eliminated. If only one person is left on the boat within the fixed time, that person will be the Great Wizard.

If the time has come, but there is more than one person on the ship, then whoever has the shaman's sail on their ship is the great shaman.

According to the rules, the shaman's sail will either be on the previous shaman's ship or on an empty boat in the middle of the river, depending entirely on whether the previous shaman participated.

If it is an empty boat, its speed is generally only half that of other boats, so it will not be able to take advantage of the situation and delay the boat.

As Li Qi gazed at the distant object, he thought of the scenes he had witnessed when he was still a child.

That sea of ​​people, that unity of purpose...

But now, he is not a spectator, but a participant.

After all, if he weren't that great shaman, how would the world know that his sword was invincible?!

However, Li Qi had no intention of passing the three trials today. These three trials were unremarkable and too boring. Tomorrow, in the decisive battle under the spotlight, he would simply sail a small boat, unleash his invincible sword, and kill Wang Taixu.

As for the rules, if he were weak, there would naturally be a backlash. But he is invincible with his sword, strong enough, which is the greatest rule in itself.

Therefore, Li Qi is merely an observer today.

As he strolled along the trail, he heard all sorts of comments from the people around him.

"Thinking back to the last time, Wang Taixu's blade was invincible. How glorious that day was! I wonder if he can continue his invincible legend this time..."

"I think Li Qi's martial arts, which are like lotus flowers on water, have definitely broken through two major limits. Such martial arts at the age of sixteen is truly monstrous. Although he can't compare to those peerless geniuses who broke through three major limits at the age of fifteen, he is still a genius. Tomorrow will definitely be a fierce battle. This time, we'll have a good look."

“I don’t think so. As you said yourself, Li Qi is only sixteen, while Wang Taixu broke through the second major limit three years ago. Now he is twenty-eight years old, which is the most glorious moment of a person’s life. His combat power may have increased by half a level out of thin air. The opponent has not made a move for three years. Once he makes a move, he will definitely be invincible!”

"That makes sense, but in terms of potential, Li Qi is definitely much higher, practically higher. Wang Taixu only broke through to the second level at twenty-five, while Li Qi did it at sixteen. Nine years earlier, how much more foundation can he accumulate?!" "As for the Great Witch competition, the difference is only in age; losing isn't shameful..."

……

All sorts of voices reached Li Qi's ears, truly a microcosm of life, with everyone having their own opinions from different perspectives.

However, there is a consensus here: there is no doubt that Li Qi has greater potential. As for combat power, 80% of people believe that Wang Taixu is stronger, while only 20% believe that Li Qi has a chance.

At this moment, Li Qi couldn't help but think again that everyone in this world was indeed normal. He didn't become stronger, and everyone around him knew about it. He wondered how they got it from.

However, if he really became stronger, everyone would automatically receive the news. He would probably be famous all over the world by now, and his fate would be sealed. Along with that, there would definitely be tribulations.

It's one thing to break through three major limits in a short period of time—the Demon Tribulation Creation technique can indeed accomplish that—but the various buffs on his body are completely excessive.

Fortunately, these things can be hidden. At least before achieving the Demon God form, Li Qi will never truly reveal anything too heaven-defying. He will only show the parts that are barely acceptable to the public.

However, even if it is only the part that is revealed, it is enough for him to obtain his destiny.

If he achieves the Demon God form, he won't need to eat beef anymore. He'll be able to unleash innate qi even at the fifth and a half level of the Breakthrough Realm. Once he reaches the Demon God form and uses it to enter the Dao, coupled with his keen insight into fortune and misfortune, who will be able to kill him then?!

The day passed quickly, and by evening, forums and websites in many places in Tiannan and Cangbei were in an uproar over who was stronger, Li Qi or Wang Taixu. During this time, the online debate was fierce, with many people arguing back and forth.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Qi didn't even show up on the first day of the Great Witch Competition.

Indeed, Li Qi had never publicly stated that he wanted to compete with Wang Taixu for the title of Great Witch, but the current outcome has undoubtedly disappointed countless people.

Although many people are not optimistic about Li Qi, the twelve-year cycle of alternation, beginning and end, seems to be predetermined. This kind of thing is full of a sense of destiny!
At the crucial moment, one of the two main characters was absent, which was simply outrageous.

This limbo, neither here nor there, undoubtedly makes many people feel very uncomfortable, like being scratched by cat claws.

Li Qi went online that night, looking at the chaotic online world, but just smiled. Tomorrow, the world will know who is truly invincible.

On the other side, Sun Guang was also browsing the internet on his phone, reading various news. Knowing the inside story, he could only secretly think to himself, "Li Qi really knows how to play. If he really does become invincible tomorrow, won't many people never forget it?"

"I just hope Ah Qi doesn't crash or something?!"

"Those who are pessimistic about Ah Qi online actually have a point. Although Ah Qi is incredibly strong and unpredictable, he doesn't seem to be guaranteed a win after twelve years of training."

"If this car overturns, wouldn't the Demon Tiger become the Overturned Cat?!"

"It'll probably be the subject of ridicule and gossip for decades, an indelible stain on my life..."

As Sun Guang strolled around, he began to have doubts again. Even though he had witnessed Li Qi's aura during the Great Tribulation of Destiny that day, it was ultimately a manifestation of the spiritual world, and he had no idea how terrifying Li Qi was now.

That makes sense. Who in their right mind would imagine that someone's progress is measured in days? Even now that the cheat codes have been toned down, it still takes two and a half days to master a martial art, and on average, they gain nearly two traits a day. If that's not invincible, who is?!
