Chapter 22

C22 – Top Three

On the eastern viewing platform, the upper echelons of the four great forces were shocked for a long time. They could not believe what they had just seen.

Including the Ruan family.

Although they had already known that Ruan Xiude had broken through to the Enlightenment Stage at the Ruan family’s Combat Arena, they were still shocked by Ruan Xiude’s cultivation speed.

They never thought that Ruan Xiude would be so strong.

They had all broken through to the Enlightenment Stage in a month, so the difference in their cultivation should not be too big. Their martial arts were the same.

Huo Qianhe had been instantly killed by Ruan Xiude.

This had far exceeded their expectations.

Seeing this, Ruan Huan could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

After witnessing Ruan Xiude’s strength, he no longer had any thoughts of competing with Ruan Xiude.

Ruan Xiude was the undisputed number one genius of the Ruan family.

On the viewing platform, the disciples of the other three forces were all extremely shocked.

Even Huo Qianhe had been instantly killed. Those who were not as good as Huo Qianhe were nothing in front of Ruan Xiude.

They had all witnessed Ruan Xiude’s strength.

He was indeed the number one genius of the Dirtwich.

They no longer had any other thoughts. They could only admire and respect him.

In the Lord’s Mansion area.

Deng Kai, who had been acting very confidently, now had a pale face and his lips trembled.

The strength that Ruan Xiude had displayed in this battle was too strong.

Deng Kai was so scared that he no longer had any confidence.

“I still have the Boiling Blood Technique. I will definitely win!”

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across Deng Kai’s eyes as his heart trembled.

On the high platform.

The City Lord Deng Chun, the Qi family, and the Huo family were all shocked.

When they came back to their senses, their faces turned gloomy.

The strength that Ruan Xiude had displayed had also exceeded their expectations.

Many people in the middle period of the Enlightenment Stage were not as strong as him.

Perhaps only people in the late period of the Enlightenment Stage would have the confidence to win.

Facing Ruan Xiude’s strength, their disciples could not compete with him.

It seemed that their plan this time had failed.

Deng Chun unconsciously glanced at Deng Kai.

On the stage, only Bai De and Ruan Yongsi’s expressions did not change.

Both of them were at the Condensation Spin Stage. They were a few levels higher than Ruan Xiude.

They could roughly see Ruan Xiude’s aura and strength.

They were not surprised by the result of this competition.

They were smiling.

Similarly, Ruan Huan had consumed a large amount of energy in the battle with Deng Kai.

As one of the Four Great Geniuses, Qi Liang was in the Peak State.

Of course, Qi Liang won the battle.

The two matches ended not long after.

Qi Liang won and entered the top three.

At this point, the top three had been decided.

Deng Jibing announced loudly.

“The second round of the elimination competition has ended. The top three have been decided.”

“They are Ruan Xiude, Deng Kai, and Qi Liang!”

“They are also the strongest geniuses of the Dirtwich City.”

“They will receive generous rewards.”

“Congratulations!”

As soon as his voice faded, the audience burst into applause.

Everyone looked at Ruan Xiude with reverence, admiration, and envy.

Of course, most of their gazes were on Ruan Xiude.

After all, in the previous battle, everyone could see that Ruan Xiude’s strength had already surpassed the other two by a lot.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would basically be the first.

After a while, the bustling atmosphere on the stage had died down.

Deng Jibing continued to speak in a clear voice.

“Next, we will rest for half an hour before continuing with the final competition.”

This was also the usual procedure of the competition.

The previous matches might have consumed a lot of the participants’ energy.

Half an hour was used to recover their energy, which could ensure the fairness of the competition.

Everyone could understand what was going on.

Everyone was waiting for the competition to continue.

Ruan Xiude was still talking to Ruan Yueya beside him. He did not take this matter seriously at all.

In the previous duels, he had defeated others with a single strike.

He did not need to recover his energy.

Not far away, Deng Kai solemnly looked at Ruan Xiude. After taking a glance, he swallowed the pill and closed his eyes to recover.

Next, he would be facing Ruan Xiude.

He did not dare to be careless.

At the same time, Qi Liang, who was not far away, also swallowed a pill and paid attention to Deng Kai.

He did not even glance at Ruan Xiude.

In comparison, it was obvious who was better.

Qi Liang knew that he was no match for Ruan Xiude, so he did not expect to be the first place. He treated Deng Kai as a great enemy and wanted to fight for the second place.

Deng Kai, on the other hand, treated Ruan Xiude as his opponent. He wanted to rely on his final trump card to obtain first place.

Ruan Xiude, on the other hand, had a calm expression and did not put these two people in his eyes.
