People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 314 Top 100 Mountains and Rivers?

"This Li Qi is truly extraordinary. He can rise through the ranks while remaining hidden, he has the bearing of a dragon. Even in Zhongzhou, such a person would be considered a genius, and might become famous throughout the world in the future. But here in a small place like Tiancang, it's like a game-changer..."

"It is said that the mountains and rivers of a place nurture its people. The mountains and rivers of Tiancang are nothing special, yet they have nurtured such a person. They are extraordinary, truly extraordinary!"

Amidst the crowd, Xia Hongyan rested her hands on the railing, her gaze lingering on the direction Li Qi had gone. Although she could no longer see him, she still felt a sense of lingering regret.

"Indeed, compared to mountains and rivers, the most wonderful thing in this world is people!"

"I did go to the previous Mountain and River Grand Tournament to watch it live. There were indeed some people who were stronger than him in martial arts, but very few of them had this kind of style. Those people were focused on practicing martial arts. They were certainly talented, but they lacked the unique brilliance that comes from being tempered by worldly experience..."

Xia Hongyan muttered to herself.

"Now I understand why those people seemed to lack something. They might be experts, but they weren't heroes; they lacked a certain boldness..."

"oh?!"

"Is our Miss Xia falling for someone?!"

Bai Zhixin pushed up her glasses again and made a teasing remark, but it was the first time she had ever seen her friend act this way.

"I wouldn't call it that. It's not liking, it's admiring!"

Xia Hongyan responded that she was not embarrassed by her friends' teasing.

“Such a person will not stop. I feel that perhaps in four and a half years, we can see him in the next Mountain and River Trial. If he enters the Dao then, he may be able to enter the top 100.”

Xia Hongyan looked at the surging river and said this.

"I didn't expect you to give him such a high evaluation. In my opinion, he might be able to make the top 200, but the top 100 is a bit too high."

Bai Zhixin said.

Although her ranking in the top 200 may not seem high, it's important to understand what the Great Trial of Mountains and Rivers is. The population of Kyushu is over 60 billion, approaching 70 billion. Even if there are only one genius among 10 billion, there are still seven of them!

There are nearly 700 people who are one in a billion.

Of course, you can't really calculate it that way, since the Great Test of Mountains and Rivers has an age limit.

But in this situation, being able to get into the top 200 is already quite remarkable.

"You're just too rational."

Xia Hongyan shook her head.

……

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

"Weiwei, what kind of amazing person is this!"

"Are you sure this is your childhood sweetheart?!"

"Even if a boy changes a lot as he grows up, he doesn't change like this..."

On the other side, Xu Wei's two friends were shouting excitedly, feeling that Li Qi's true charm was a thousand times better than what was shown in the videos circulating online, and it really struck a chord with them.

However, Xu Wei did not respond at this moment, or rather, she did not hear their screams at all, but was lost in her past thoughts.

恍惚之中，她又想起了很早的时候，李启拳打表哥，脚踢表弟，暴揍小舅舅，镇压群雄，信誓旦旦的说以后要娶自己的情景。

Her memory of this incident had become hazy, but now it has suddenly become clear again.

However, time cannot be reversed, and the conversations of the past are nothing more than childhood laughter and playfulness. Their lives no longer have any real intersection...

Even the seemingly otherworldly figure she had just seen was so striking that she found it difficult to connect him with the person in her memory.

After a long while, she couldn't help but sigh deeply, unable to describe the feeling she was experiencing.

……

"Sun Guang!"

"You knew all along, didn't you!"

"We know Li Qi is up to something!"

"You just brushed me off!"

"But this is so cool! Dressed in white, piloting a boat—it's just like the scene in my dreams! How can he be so handsome now?!" "Damn it, if only I could be reborn and go back in time! I want my childhood friend! I want to play the raising-a-child role..."

At this moment, Yan Jiuzhen finally recovered from the shock and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Sun Guang.

"What you're saying makes it sound like I, Sun, was the one who didn't introduce Aqi to you back then. Are you blind and blaming me for it...?"

Sun Guang shrugged, showing no mercy to Yan Jiuzhen, leaving the latter only in a helpless rage, because what Sun Guang said was not made up.

But that's how the world is; lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

At this moment, Sun Qing looked at the noise around her, but didn't say anything; her thoughts were just wandering.

"Wow!"

"This person is simply a god."

Compared to him, those refined, handsome men in our school's combat club seem as delicate as women!

"I'm suddenly starting to believe what's being said online—that this tiger's testosterone levels are 10,000 times higher than the average person's."

Beside Song Ziyan, her two close cousins ​​were also whispering to each other at this time.

But as she listened to those words, she felt as if everything around her was a dream, as if she had fallen into a great dream long ago.

The future should not be like this.

Why would this happen?!

One strike can sever a boat; one strike can defeat an enemy…

This directly ended Wang Taixu's invincible legend that lasted for more than ten years!

Everything seemed so fake.

……

"Too strong! Too strong!"

"Ah Qi is terrifyingly strong right now, it's like he's been turned on but never off!"

"Damn it, why can't I encounter any demonic tribulations..."

Among the Li family members, Li Zheng muttered to himself, his eyes revealing disbelief.

In fact, it wasn't just him; many of his clansmen around him shared similar thoughts. After all, while Li Qi's sweeping victory over the seven schools was indeed unmatched, it was ultimately just a group of students playing around. He was strong, but compared to the current defeat of Wang Taixu, he was worlds apart.

In Tiancang and Liang, Wang Taixu, who had been invincible among his peers for twenty years and could even suppress those who had entered the Dao with his sword, was defeated by Li Qi, who was a full twelve years younger than him, with a single strike. Moreover, the person who defeated Wang Taixu was one of their own clansmen.

Even though they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't quite believe what they were seeing.

Therefore, at this time, the tribespeople were mostly in twos and threes, talking quietly, their words filled with uncontrollable amazement...

As for Li Tianxing, he remained silent at this moment, staring intently in the direction where Li Qi had disappeared, his eyes filled with intense envy and a complex mix of emotions.

His former idol, an invincible figure of an era, was surpassed so easily.

Although he never intended to compete with Li Qi, he was still overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions.

After a long while, he also let out a long sigh.

"Brother Changqing, your Li family has produced a dragon!"

"Before the age of thirty, the true dragon of your Li family will likely be able to break through the four major limits..."

Beside Li Changqing, the elderly people from the other two families were murmuring to themselves.

"At this time, fate and destiny are truly inexplicable..."

At this moment, Li Changqing looked at the surging river and felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Previously, he felt that Li Qi had at most a one percent chance of achieving true enlightenment, but now he felt that there was even a one percent possibility of him attaining sainthood.

"If a saint truly emerges from our family..."
