Chapter 341 Increased Fate (Tenth Update! 7100 Monthly Tickets! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Finally, the one-minute countdown ended. The moment the timer reached zero, the girl didn't even have time to swing her sword before she slid across the circle and landed steadily outside of it. Throughout the entire process, she had no idea what had happened.

At this moment, in the waiting area, countless players who were watching this scene were startled and suddenly stood up.

In fact, the forces behind them had shown them information on some powerful figures, but they overlooked Li Qi. After all, with more than 30,000 participants, it was impossible to cover every detail. They could only select celebrities with sufficient competition experience first.

Unfortunately, Li Qi had never participated in any formal competitions, so he was skipped entirely.

This information gathering work is not so easy to do; many people simply don't have the necessary channels.

Those who knew of Li Qi's existence early on, like Zhuang Buzhou, were in the minority.

But you have to understand, how vast was Zhuang Buzhou's empire?!
Even if you add up more than a hundred combat clubs, they might not have half the strength of the Buzhou Group.

Not to mention those at the scene, the fans watching the girl's live stream were also completely bewildered. What was that just now?! Why did the frame suddenly jump? How did their beloved kendo beauty get eliminated so suddenly?!

In that brief moment, no one was destined to answer their questions.

At this moment, Li Qi had already sheathed his sword, returned to his position, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, Li Qi's thoughts at this moment had already merged into this arena. He saw the fervent excitement of more than 200,000 people, and at the same time, he saw more than 30,000 martial arts masters, their martial spirits and blood surging, their fighting spirit and killing intent converging into one, soaring straight into the sky.

Undoubtedly, this was a kind of weather and feng shui phenomenon that Li Qi had never seen before.

The battles and struggles, the myriad thoughts and intentions intertwined and fused together, creating a bewildering and captivating spectacle, truly offering an infinitely fascinating experience.

If there were a sufficiently skilled expert here, they would know that Li Qi was using this environment to cultivate his mind and spirit, truly practicing and becoming stronger while walking, sitting, and lying down, without ever stopping for a moment.

In the morning, Li Qi played a total of eight matches, and in the afternoon, he played two more matches, winning ten matches and standing out from the crowd.

However, he wasn't the first to achieve ten wins. It wasn't that he wasn't fast enough, but rather that his turn to play was drawn a little later in the afternoon.

The first person to achieve ten wins was Zhao Canghai. He played one more game than Li Qi in the morning, which coincided with the time difference, so he was the first player to play in the afternoon and won ten games in a row.

The second person to achieve ten wins was Zhuang Buzhou. His opponent had broken through three limits, and as long as he didn't run into Li Qi beforehand, he would be unable to find an opponent.

As for Li Qi, he became the fifth person to achieve ten wins.

By this time, his reputation had gradually spread, and more and more people knew of his existence and searched for information about his past, becoming increasingly alarmed as they read.

At sixteen, he broke through three limits. This person is simply a monster. Although it was due to the demonic tribulation, not his talent, he has still boarded the train of genius.

After all, a peerless genius usually reaches the third level at fifteen, and a true genius usually reaches the third level at sixteen. While Li Qi may lack successors, he is at least absolutely powerful now.

After achieving ten wins, Li Qi stopped playing and instead went to the viewing area reserved for the qualifying players to watch the games.

Zhao Canghai and Zhuang Buzhou were also there, but both of them only glanced at Li Qi deeply. The former's eyes burned with a fighting spirit, while the latter remained indifferent, seemingly not regarding him as an opponent.

Soon, the afternoon's matches ended, and evening arrived. By then, online discussions about Li Qi had exploded. Sixteen years old, facing three critical junctures—this news was astonishing.

The discussion surrounding Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou has become the hottest topic in the entire competition, overshadowing all the so-called star players. Regardless of whether these star players are beautiful women or handsome men, or what their past achievements are, they ultimately lose their luster in the face of absolute power. In the online environment, discussions about combat strength are constantly being made without any real connection, let alone when there are actual people involved.

In a short period of time, many people analyzed the ten matches between Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou during the day frame by frame. However, both of them had crushing victories, and no matter who their opponent was, they were both defeated in one hit.

Even if you slow down the video by ten or twenty times, all you see is a straight cut, without any variation or nuance.

In this situation, it becomes impossible to make a comparison; one can only analyze combat capabilities based on past performance and track records.

It has to be said that Zhuang Buzhou's online army is quite formidable. However, it makes sense, as the other party is a purely commercial company that does this kind of thing. They directly guided the public opinion without any intention of praising first and then criticizing, and directly spread the theory of Zhuang Buzhou's invincibility online.

After all, cutting a boat is nothing compared to cutting a solid steel pillar. The so-called iron ship is just a piece of sheet metal with no real value...

Such a statement naturally drew a wave of pessimism. Coupled with the issue of age, Li Qi had just broken through the three major limits, while Zhuang Buzhou had broken through the three major limits four years earlier. By midnight, the heated debate over combat strength that had started in the afternoon had come to an end.

Li Qi did go online to discuss this, but he didn't argue; his knife would prove everything.

As his fame grew, Li Qi gained another batch of life points the next day, and his daily life points also increased by an additional 36.7.
This number isn't much. After all, the Fish and Dragon Cup attracts the most attention on the last day. While the triple deadline is certainly astonishing, Li Qi's impression on people isn't particularly deep.

Superficial believers cannot compare to fanatical believers.

Day three...

Time flies, and the preliminary rounds have come to an end. A total of 1126 people have entered the main competition, and the 100 competition areas have been merged into 10.

However, no arena was set up in the middle of the arena, and the huge screen at the bottom of the arena was manually switched in real time, showing the competition scenes of each competition area.

At the same time, Li Qi also moved into the Sun and Moon Pavilion, along with Sun Guang, who also moved in as an accompanying person. A contestant can bring two accompanying persons, but normally they would bring a coach and a nutritionist.

Li Qi didn't need such things; he could bring whomever he wanted.

By the morning of the fourth day, Li Qi's gains from the Fish and Dragon Cup had reached +66.8. This amount was not low, but it was too little compared to the overall popularity of the competition.

Ultimately, he hasn't yet proven himself invincible.

In fact, at this point in time, although the main competition has only just begun, the top three have already been decided in many people's minds.

It is undoubtedly Zhuang Buzhou, with the celestial star in his destiny, making him invincible.

Li Qi, who overcame the demonic tribulation and passed through three passes with a flick of his finger, may lack the foundation of accumulated knowledge, but his high level of cultivation made him strong.

As for the third, it is Zhao Canghai, who broke through the limit by one level. If we ignore Zhuang Buzhou and Li Qi, he stands out from the crowd.

These three individuals are the only three out of more than 30,000 participants to have broken through the limits of human physical capabilities. There is no situation where one person becomes stronger and everyone around them is upgraded.

That's why there have been persistent claims online these past few days that Li Qi appeared out of nowhere, specifically targeting Zhuang Buzhou.

Because Zhuang Buzhou grew step by step, while Li Qi's breakthrough through demonic tribulation was more like a forced update...
