People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 467 is of course the tenth level (Sixth update! 12700 monthly votes added! Please vote!)

They were well aware of Li Qi's prowess; his blade was so powerful it brought wind and rain, it was like the blade of a demon or god, shaking the heavens and the earth. But the more powerful it was, the more their fighting spirit soared.

Even if you are defeated and have to retreat after fighting against such a person, it is still a fulfilling life.

For a master, the most painful thing in the world is not being able to find an opponent; the loneliness of being invincible.

As for Zhuang Buzhou, he had made great progress in his cultivation during this period and wanted to fight again. He believed that his martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds during this time. The defeat that day had actually stimulated his potential, making him seem to have suddenly become enlightened in a short period of time. His progress in this period of time even surpassed what he had made in a year.

He himself found this rate of progress terrifying, as if even God couldn't bear to see his failures and was forcibly giving him a cheat code.

In Zhuang Buzhou's view, no one could progress faster than himself.

"This time, the outcome of my match against Li Qi is at least 30/70. Although he was stronger than me before, the gap wasn't insurmountable. Even if he's improving, how could he possibly outpace me after I've awakened my full potential? I almost feel like I'm destined to be the protagonist. I have a 30% chance of winning, which isn't low. And this is just the Flood Dragon Cup. At my rate of improvement, by the time we get to the Hidden Dragon Cup in mid-July, the outcome against Li Qi will definitely be 50/50!"

"If we wait until next year's Great Test of Mountains and Rivers, the tables will turn, and I'll have eight points while he has two!"

"This is even with the fact that he continues to improve!"

"Perhaps, meeting him is what my master once predicted for me: that I would transform into a dragon when I encounter a calamity!"

"I had such a smooth life before, without any major setbacks, so my luck wasn't great enough. It wasn't until I suffered a defeat that my luck was unleashed, and I soared to new heights!"

"At this rate, I have a very high probability of breaking through the four major limits during next year's Great Trial of Mountains and Rivers!"

At this moment, Zhuang Buzhou stared at Li Qi, who exuded a faint aura of invincibility, while his mind raced with thoughts.

He didn't actually consider that defeat a disgrace, but he just wanted to win, for no other reason.

"However, this person is a bit strange. His invincible aura doesn't seem to emanate from himself. Rather, it comes from the fact that many people in this venue believe he is the strongest, and with their collective thoughts, this aura naturally arises."

"Others' invincibility comes from within, but his invincibility comes from the convergence of people's hearts. The convergence of people's hearts is destiny. Is this fate?!"

"No, I've suddenly become incredibly insightful lately, it's clear that destiny is on my side, not on Li Qi's..."

"It is said that this virtual world competition is not a battle between players, but a fixed ten-level competition. The overall score is calculated based on the number of levels and the time taken to complete them, and the top fifty people with the highest scores will enter the finals."

"I wonder how many levels Li Qi can pass."

"From what I've heard, it's said that some time ago in Zhongzhou, a few of the Three Sages and Seven Immortals had already tried it out. The Three Sages all passed all ten levels, and one or two of the Seven Immortals passed the ninth level..."

"It seems that the opponent in the tenth level is a portion of the battle data from when the Saint entered the realm, which was left behind before the Saint ascended to immortality."

"It seems that Saint anticipated the appearance of this virtual pod and made preparations in advance." "If only I could also reach the tenth level and fight against Saint in his youth, even if it was just a virtual character with a portion of Saint's strength, it would have a special meaning."

"When I defeat Li Qi, I can subdue him, no, cooperate with him. If he were just an ordinary triple limit breaker, it would be possible for me to subdue him, but someone like him would never submit to anyone. However, cooperating with him is possible."

"He has a certain anomaly quality. Anomalies are often plagued by calamities and are never at peace. His patriarch doesn't have many years left to live. He was able to handle the troubles of the Fallen Moon before, but once he dies, the Fallen Moon will definitely make a comeback. However, I am not afraid of them. My path is one of struggle and fighting. When the time comes, I will cooperate with him. He will wield the sword and I will wield the saber. The two of us will fight against heaven and earth until we are invincible. Perhaps we can even replicate the glory of the Saint and the King in the past."

"After all, saints and kings are anomalies, and I am actually close to being an anomaly as well."

"Great success or great failure, great failure or great success, if this really happens..."

At this moment, Zhuang Buzhou was thinking more and more, and his gaze towards Li Qi was practically gleaming. If he were a woman, it wouldn't be a problem, but his gender and his gaze caused a kind of mental storm to arise in the minds of some of the other contestants in the arena.

"Aqi, I heard that the tenth level is about fighting the young Saint. How many levels do you think you can complete?!"

Next to Li Qi, Sun Guang, sitting in the contestant's seat, muttered to himself.

"Of course, it's ten levels."

Li Qi spoke calmly and confidently.

His words undoubtedly stirred up a variety of emotions among the surrounding contestants who were well aware of his presence. Some thought he was too confident, while others thought he was too arrogant. After all, he was a Saint, though not in his complete form, only possessing a portion of his power.

Even the Seven Immortals couldn't defeat him, so does this person think he can rival the Three Sages in combat?!
Meanwhile, in Tiannan Cangbei Mingcheng, many people who were paying attention to Li Qi were discussing in private which level Li Qi could reach in the upcoming competition.

These people include Li Qi's teachers, classmates, childhood friends who have now drifted apart, as well as members of the Li family, including various cousins... It can be said that Li Qi is not fighting alone now; many people are hoping that he can go further.

Even Li Changqing, a centenarian, was sitting in front of the television, staring intently at it, afraid of missing any exciting moments of his own dragon.

At this moment, Li Tianxing was also by his side. His feelings towards Li Qi were no longer complicated. Instead, he was grateful that there was such a person in the family who had saved him a lot of trouble and made his life much smoother.

Li Qi's mind was solely focused on his own self-importance, and he was not strengthened by these expectations. He did not bear the burden of these external emotional forces, but simply explored his inner strength.

But having such expectations is undoubtedly not bad. At least in Li Qi's view, these are his entanglements in the mortal world, his anchor points in the mortal world, so that he is not empty in this world, just a passerby, but has his own place.

Without these things, as someone who has awakened memories of his past life, has no anchor in this world, and is constantly using cheat codes, he might really see everyone as an NPC. It's not impossible that he might later destroy the world out of interest and to verify some of his conjectures.

If you really have the mentality of a gamer, many of them are chaotic and evil. They might do a series of troublesome tasks to help an NPC, or they might just be bored and slaughter NPCs in large numbers...

Boom!
It was at this moment that the semi-finals officially began, accompanied by a sound like the tolling of an ancient bell.
