Chapter 563: The Top Eight, The Final Battle

One punch.

Another one-hit kill…

Inside the Arena, Xiao Fan landed with a calm expression.

Meanwhile, his opponent, a first-stage Yuanhun Realm Prodigy, screamed incessantly as half of his Physical Body was smashed into pieces…

This was even with Xiao Fan holding back; if he had aimed at the opponent's Dantian just now, he could have directly shattered his Golden Core!

Xiao Fan's expression was calm as he turned and left the Arena, while the Prodigy youth on the other side staggered away, severely injured.

"My god, that's too brutal, another single punch!"

"A Prodigy, an absolute Prodigy, he must not be offended!"

"We can't afford to provoke him, he's too ruthless, and that was just one strike!"

"…"

Discussions erupted all around, everyone marveling at Xiao Fan's ruthless strikes.

He had insta-killed a first-stage Yuanhun Realm Prodigy Genius in a single move.

Too ruthless!

This is definitely no ordinary ruthless person.

Outside the Arena, Yuan Jingtian was surprised; at the moment Xiao Fan threw that punch, even he felt a sense of danger.

"He is very strong. It is inevitable that you will face him. Don't be careless!" Beside him, City Lord Ming Long warned via voice transmission.

Yuan Jingtian was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

Clearly, Xiao Fan's strike just now had not escaped the eyes of this Pi Hai Realm powerhouse.

Xiao Fan was very strong, capable of even challenging those of higher levels, reaching the strength of around the seventh stage of the Yuanhun Realm.

For now, it was just unknown whether Xiao Fan had any other tricks up his sleeve.

If he did, he might truly be able to threaten Yuan Jingtian's first-place position this time!

In City Lord Ming Long's view, among the sixty-four participants in this competition, the only one with the strength to defeat Yuan Jingtian was Xiao Fan!

"Kid, you're actually this powerful!"

As soon as Xiao Fan returned to City Lord Du Ling's side, he heard the latter's voice transmission.

"It's just average," Xiao Fan replied via voice transmission.

"Just average? Even I felt danger from that strike just now!" City Lord Du Ling was shocked. Previously, Xiao Fan had told him he was just a disciple from a small Family in Yihuang Province.

He had almost believed it then, but now, he wouldn't believe it even if he were killed…

With the ability to challenge those of higher levels like this, it would be strange if Xiao Fan's background were ordinary.

Xiao Fan ignored him…

The competition continued…

Yuan Jingtian took the stage and, just like Xiao Fan, insta-killed his opponent.

This time Xiao Fan paid special attention; when Yuan Jingtian left the Arena, his gaze lingered on him for a long time.

And that look in the other's eyes seemed to treat him as prey.

This made Xiao Fan unhappy, instinctively loathing this Yuan Jingtian.

After the first round of the competition was over, all the winners still had the next round.

And the remaining people were all powerful individuals.

Only eighteen people remained.

Xiao Fan defeated a second-stage Yuanhun Realm Prodigy and advanced to the top eight!

Yuan Jingtian and the other Prodigies did the same; almost no one was caught in a hard-fought battle, and all advanced easily!

Tomorrow would be the final competition!

Xiao Fan left; he felt his Realm becoming increasingly unstable and wanted to achieve a Breakthrough.

The more he fought, the stronger this feeling became.

"Strange… Didn't Sect Master Wu Xinjue say before that it's not easy for those cursed by the heavens to Breakthrough major Realms? Why am I like this!" Xiao Fan was puzzled.

He had taken Sect Master Wu Xinjue's words to heart.

Previously in the Secret Realm, Xiao Fan didn't dare to Breakthrough because the heaven and earth within the Secret Realm were different from the outside world.

There wasn't even a Heavenly Tribulation, so it was normal for his Realm to loosen.

But in the outside world…

It shouldn't be like this. Previously, Xiao Fan hadn't felt it so clearly; he only knew he could Breakthrough at any time.

But after these few battles, he felt he was starting to be unable to suppress his own cultivation.

"After tomorrow, I'll find a place to Breakthrough first!" Xiao Fan said to himself. If he were to Breakthrough, it would surely be fraught with danger.

He planned to buy some grade 5 pills just in case.

Moreover, he needed to find a hidden place to prevent the Breakthrough from causing too much of a commotion and attracting attention.

After all, his identity as someone from Wuhuang Province could not be easily discovered.

"Forget it, with Zhangsun Ning around, I'll just have her help as a Protector then!"

With Zhangsun Ning, a Yuding Realm expert, although her strength wasn't what it used to be, she could still manage to find a remote place and act as a Protector for him.

The next day, the final day.

Out of the sixty-four experts, the top eight had already been decided…

The person who won three consecutive matches next would be the number one of the younger generation in this sixty-four competition!

During this time, many gambling dens in Longwu City had also set up betting pools.

The most popular candidate among them was Yuan Jingtian; after all, he was at the sixth stage of the Yuanhun Realm and was a Genius capable of challenging those of higher levels!

Xiao Fan was also among the favorites, but he was ranked third.

Among the participants this time, there was also a woman named Wang Aoxue with a fifth-stage Yuanhun Realm cultivation, who had also swept through everything to enter the top eight.

Xiao Fan was ranked third and was also the only one in the top eight with a Xuandan Realm cultivation.

The final day's competition was not presided over by the previous old man, but was instead switched to City Lord Ming Long himself.

"Winning three consecutive matches makes one the first and grants a grade 6 wangu pill." City Lord Ming Long's voice was resonant as he began the drawing of lots.

"Linze City, Beishan City."

For the first match, it was Xiao Fan's turn again.

After all, with only eight people left, the probability of selecting two was quite high.

Xiao Fan took a step forward and stepped onto the Arena.

The representative from Beishan City opposite him was precisely that fifth-stage Yuanhun Realm woman.

Wang Aoxue was dressed in white with a cold expression, somewhat resembling Nangong Lingxuan, though her looks were far inferior!

Xiao Fan was also in a white robe, with no sign of nervousness on his face.
