Endless Ascension

Chapter 43:, Master Level

As more people gathered in the central square, the discussions buzzed loudly. They were all whispering about who would win the Family Invitational Tournament this time. Most people favored Xiao Rufeng. After all, he had won the first place for four consecutive years and was now at the sixth stage of the Dynamic Realm. It was reasonable for him to win again.

Some enthusiasts set up a betting game. Except for Xiao Rufeng whose odds were one to one, the odds for other disciples were higher. Qin Ze's odds were as high as one to eight. He was completely an unappreciated contestant.

Qin Ze didn't care about this at all and sat aside quietly waiting for the competition to come.

After a while, Zhao Wudi, the patriarch of the Zhao family, coughed and walked to the front of the arena to announce the start of the competition. As the first major family in Qinghe City, only he was qualified to announce the start of the competition, which made the patriarchs of the other families very unhappy.

The competition was conducted randomly. Whoever was drawn would fight against the corresponding opponent.

There were more than fifty families, and each family had three representatives. The number of participants reached more than 160.

However, the elimination system was implemented. After several rounds, there would be few remaining.

At the beginning of the competition, the war drums on one side of the arena suddenly sounded, and the rumbling sound of the war drums resounded, making people's blood boil and their fighting spirit soar...

More than eighty disciples walked onto the arena and drew a small note from a huge box, then stood still. The referee elder stepped forward and reported the names of their opponents one by one.

The competition began. The huge arena was divided into ten competition areas. This was also to save time and quickly eliminate the first batch of contestants. After three rounds, larger venues were vacated.

Those who could pass three rounds would not be below the Dynamic Realm. Their strength was extraordinary, and naturally, they couldn't compete in a narrow venue.

When ten contestants entered, Qin Ze was in the second batch.

There weren't many surprises in a series of battles. Some disciples at the Warrior Realm were quickly eliminated.

"Next, Yang Shen versus Qin Ze."

The referee announced the start, and Qin Ze walked up and looked at Yang Shen, who was at the first stage of the Dynamic Realm, with a faint smile.

"Qin Ze, I'm sorry."

Yang Shen said coldly. At the same time, his body swayed, and his Qi soared. The invisible pressure was also released at the same time. He drew the big knife inserted on his back and charged directly at Qin Ze...

Encountering a Dynamic Realm contestant right at the beginning, no one knew if Qin Ze was lucky or not. Two-thirds of the contestants were at the Warrior Realm. He encountered a Dynamic Realm contestant right at the beginning. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It should be me who's sorry to you."

He didn't release any Qi and had no pressure. He was very calm, as if he wasn't even there...

However, just as Yang Shen charged over and the big knife was about to hit him, his fists suddenly moved. This time, he still didn't use any Qi, but the speed of his fists was fast, fierce, and ruthless. So fast that Yang Shen had no time to react. Before the big knife could fall, he only felt a burning pain in his chest.

Immediately after, there was a "bang".

The entire person flew backward more than four meters and fell heavily on the ground, unable to move.

Qin Ze stood there proudly, motionless like a mountain.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, the noisy venue quieted down. Everyone looked at Qin Ze in astonishment. Defeating a Dynamic Realm contestant with one move and without using Qi, it was a pure power attack. An ordinary punch actually contained huge power.

The most crucial thing was Qin Ze's aura, like clear water, calm and unperturbed.

After a long time, the referee only then announced, "Qin Ze wins and advances to the next round."

The originally quiet square burst into intense discussions again.

"Settling the battle with one move. It's a bit too strong."

"That kid Yang Shen is at the Dynamic Realm. His strength is not low. I didn't expect to be defeated by Qin Ze with one punch."

"He was the number one genius in Qinghe City five years ago. After being a waste for five years, is he going to regain the title of the number one in Qinghe City?"

...

Amid the discussions, Qin Ze walked down the stage and found several pairs of eyes staring at him deadly, full of killing intent. But he remained as calm as a mountain, and there was no sign of emotion on his face.

This punch was to establish his prestige. Next would be an overwhelming victory.

Xiao Rufeng, I hope you don't have any accidents.

Qin Ze walked back to his seat. The disciples of the Qin family were all faintly excited. Qin Ze won, and they felt that they had gained a lot of face. Their chests were held straighter. They had been at the bottom among the four major families for four years. This year, they were finally going to hold their heads high.

"Not bad, not bad. Defeating a Dynamic Realm contestant with a simple punch. This punch of yours has reached the master level." Qin Zhantian smiled with narrowed eyes. Looking at Qin Ze's indifferent expression in the face of honor and disgrace, he became more confident in getting the first place.

In contrast, Qin Kuang and Qin Xiangtian looked very unnatural. Even when they smiled, it was only skin-deep. They were very shocked. That punch was indeed as Qin Zhantian said, reaching the master level.

At the same time, a thought emerged in their hearts, "This son cannot be left alive."

In just a few months, from a waste at the first stage of the Warrior Realm, a lowly commoner that everyone in Qinghe City could mock, he suddenly had a magnificent transformation to the fourth stage of the Dynamic Realm. This wasn't just a matter of being a genius.

Xiao Rufeng took more than two years to break through to the fourth stage of the Dynamic Realm, but he only used less than three months.

If things continued like this, it would be even more difficult to get rid of him.

Qin Xiangtian's eyes underwent drastic changes. Now, he hoped to see Xiao Rufeng end Qin Ze's life with one sword...

————————

"As expected, he's remarkable. He could actually defeat Yang Shen at the Dynamic Realm with one punch."

Zhao Wudi also showed a shocked expression on his face and secretly thought in his heart, "I didn't expect such a monstrous genius to appear in the Qin family!"

"Dad, it was him who beat me last time." Zhao Jiannan was very unhappy and looked at Qin Ze with deep hatred in his eyes...

"Master, don't worry. If I encounter him, I definitely won't spare him." Zhao Yi said coldly on the side.

Zhao Wudi snorted and said, "You're not his opponent. Zhao Kong, you will definitely encounter him. Don't show mercy and kill him then..."

One of the disciples behind Zhao Wudi had a red light in his eyes and showed a cold smile, saying, "Yes!"

Zhao Jiannan couldn't help but smile. If Zhao Kong made a move, then Qin Ze would undoubtedly die.

Hidden for five years, his strength was extremely terrifying.

The disciple personally trained by Zhao Wudi was for the purpose of eliminating the genius disciples of other families. This year, he originally wanted to get rid of Xiao Rufeng, but now he wanted to kill Qin Ze even more.

The Qin family's provocations several times these days were all because of Qin Ze. It was necessary to kill him to give the Qin family some warnings.

Let the people of Qinghe City know that the Zhao family is the number one family.

Qin Ze sat in his position, quietly waiting for the next round of the competition. After half a month of hard training, he not only broke through to the fourth stage of the Dynamic Realm but also realized many things during the battles.

And this competition was the time to test these things.

Those on the stage were just his stepping stones!
