People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 343 Finally, they clashed (Twelfth update! 7300 monthly votes added! Please vote!)

In that instant, Li Qi also closed his eyes, not because his eyes couldn't keep up with the other's movements, but simply because he wanted to see Zhao Canghai's strike more clearly.

While Zhao Canghai was only at the first level of breaking through the limit, which was vastly different from his current realm, this strike was absolutely spectacular.

Martial arts are static, but people are dynamic. At this moment, Zhao Canghai is undoubtedly demonstrating and showcasing the brilliance of life.

Even Li Qi hadn't expected that Zhao Canghai would gain such insight in such a short time.

But it is precisely because of this that the world is more wonderful. Even the most ordinary person, by chance, can shine with their own unique light.

Therefore, Li Qi looked at it very carefully...

In his mind, the cut was light and slow, but at the same time, it was also heavy, carrying the splendor of life.

It wasn't until Zhao Canghai's swordplay reached its peak that Li Qi stepped forward and swung his sword. His steps were like a leisurely stroll, and his sword swings were not fast. There was no significant change in his posture caused by exerting great force.

Even his blade lacked sharpness; the audience didn't sense any terrifying aura, unlike many peak-level figures whose spirits were so sharp they could burn one's eyes.

Only Zhao Canghai, a disciple of Li Qi, sensed an extraordinary greatness amidst this ordinariness. It was a feeling akin to the workings of the natural order, as if the person before him had become one with the natural order.

Just like ordinary people looking at the sun and moon, because they have seen them many times and are far away, they do not feel their power. Only when they look closely, examine them in detail, and think about their essence will they suddenly realize the magnificence and awe of the sun and moon.

Zhao Canghai was sincere and fearless; no matter what the laws of nature might say, they could not stop him from wielding his sword.

Sonorous!

A crisp impact sound rang out, not a loud explosion, but the longsword trembled. Then, Zhao Canghai felt an unreachable, vast force rushing towards him. This force was boundless, but it did not explode. Instead, it sent him flying far away, landing on the ground below the stage. He was completely unharmed, and even the hand that held the sword showed no signs of wear and tear.

This was completely different from the time when Li Qi had slashed him in Tiannan.

At that time, Li Qi's sword was as domineering as the heavens and as explosive as a demon, seemingly capable of annihilating all things. But now, it possesses a kind of lofty and all-encompassing quality, like the heavens!

In a short period of time, not only did he grow and change, but Li Qi's growth and changes were even more tremendous.

He simply hadn't experienced this before because he hadn't fought Li Qi.

Compared to tangible power, this intangible power is undoubtedly more extraordinary and remarkable.

Even Zhuang Buzhou, who had remained calm and composed all along, had a slight tremor in his eyes as the sword was swung out. He hadn't expected Li Qi to possess such an imposing presence.

After all, it's one thing to beat the weak, but Zhao Canghai has already broken through a major limit, and for Li Qi to still be able to unleash such a strike undoubtedly shows his true prowess.

"Is it like a dragon?!"

Lying on the ground, Zhao Canghai looked at Li Qi's figure on the stage, and suddenly this sentence popped into his head.

This was the feeling that the Confucian sage had when he first met the Taoist patriarch.

In the past, Li Qi's martial arts skills were impressive, but that was all. Unlike now, this was a very strange feeling. He was certain at a glance that this person was capable of achieving great things.

"Could Li Qi really be able to defeat Zhuang Buzhou?!"

This was the second thought that came to his mind.

He didn't believe what he read online. His previous statements were based on his observations of Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou over the past few days, but now he was overturning his earlier judgment. In fact, it wasn't just Zhao Canghai who had this thought; many people present at the scene, at the moment Li Qi drew his sword, also felt the overwhelming power of the natural order in that instant, and their original beliefs wavered.

While Li Qi is indeed younger, can Zhuang Buzhou truly guarantee a victory?!

"A knife that isn't fierce can be even more ferocious and terrifying..."

In the audience, someone muttered to themselves.

"His sword is even stronger now!"

From a corner of the audience, Shen Yue witnessed the entire process and felt the vastness of the universe in that fleeting glimpse.

Zhao Canghai felt that Li Qi was like a dragon, while Shen Yue, in that instant, had a feeling of looking up at a huge stone Buddha, and even if she jumped high, she could only barely reach the toes of the stone Buddha...

"I used to be able to make him unleash three full-force strikes, but now..."

"Devil's Tribulation..."

Suddenly, Shen Yue let out a long sigh.

During this time, she had been watching the battle live, but none of her previous opponents had made Li Qi show any of his true skills.

……

And so, amidst all the commotion, the competition proceeded one match after another, and the rankings were gradually determined.

Until the very last round, this time there was no more drawing, and only two names were chosen.

Li Qi VS Zhuang Buzhou

At that moment, the atmosphere in the previously noisy venue froze instantly, with all eyes of the more than 200,000 people in the stadium fixed on those two names.

Certainly, the battles between various masters before were full of ever-changing and exciting moments, but the most anticipated one was the duel between these two.

A master who has broken through the three major limits of the human body is a top-tier figure, not to mention the Fish and Dragon Cup, even in the State Championship's Hidden Dragon Cup.

As for the peerless geniuses who break through the four limits around the age of twenty, such people always directly participate in the Mountain and River Grand Trial and never participate in the preliminary rounds.

Furthermore, since unparalleled geniuses are not common, under normal circumstances, there are only a few in a hundred years. The three major limits, and entering the Dao through this, is the ceiling of the Great Trial of Mountains and Rivers.

Whether it's a ticket to the Mountain and River Grand Test or a ticket to the Hidden Dragon Cup, they are not easily obtained by ordinary people. They are either incredibly lucky or extremely powerful.

What ordinary people can see is just the live television broadcast; they have no chance to experience the excitement live.

At this moment, with everyone falling silent, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely tense. Many people even stopped breathing, afraid of missing the exciting moments to come.

This silent atmosphere even affected those watching the live stream online. After all, the sudden change from a static image to a silent one, coupled with those two names that had been discussed countless times during this period, was naturally moving.
This is an unprecedented phenomenon. In the past, it usually only occurred in the finals of the Mountain and River Grand Test. It would never happen in ordinary competitions.

Undoubtedly, this time is a huge exception.

One is a master trained by a celestial being and a sage in the mortal world; the other is a young man who has overcome demonic tribulations and soared to great heights. In this battle, who will prevail, and whose destiny will be in their hands?

This is what everyone is wondering!
