Great Tyrannical Deity - Chapter 100

Minutes felt like seconds as the competition continued, with some winning and some failing. But throughout the fights, the people knew that two people would stand at the top.

The first one is Chu Tianleng, who used his sword to carve his way to victory.

The second one is Shi LI, whose fists hold dominating power yet wouldn’t touch anyone at all. People even suspected him of using some sort of technique to imitate the aura of extreme strength. But even after all that, he still continued to win all of fights, just like Chu Tianleng.

And so, a few hours later, the final fight of the competition was happening. It was Chu Tianleng against Shi Li, sword versus fist.

Chu Tianleng unsheathed his sword as he took a glance at Shi Li. He looked at Shi Li’s body and saw that it didn’t really have that much muscle. But under that facade, he was sure that there was explosive strength within each part of Shi Li’s body.

As he gripped on his sword tightly, he asked Shi Li, “Are you ready?”

Shi Li, who was doing some basic stretches, got into his fighting stance and replied as he grinned.

“But of course.”

All of the onlookers were hyped as they looked at this fight. Two unexpected participants, pitting their techniques in front of them. If they were to decide on which event they would regret not watching, then it would be this fight.

Elder Li looked at the two before asking, “Are you two ready?”

Simultaneously, both of them nodded, looking at each other with a serious gaze.

Elder Li nodded back before stepping out of the stage. He infused more qi around the barrier of the arena stage, because he was sure that a normal qi barrier wouldn’t be able to handle the oncoming fight.

“May the fight begin!”

At the instant Elder Li was finished speaking, both of them charged towards each other, aiming at the opponent’s vital points.

Chu Tianleng infused some qi into his sword before shooting it towards Shi Li’s chest. Shi Li, in return, clenched his fists before punching the sword qi towards the ground. Exerting more strength towards his legs, Shi Li ran towards Chu Tianleng’s back.

Shi Li threw a punch behind Chu Tianleng’s head with great force. Chu Tianleng ducked before turning around as he took advantage of this gap in defense.

Shi Li noticed this as his eyes widened. If he tried to block the attack now, he would suffer some internal injuries. Chu Tianleng smiled at Shi Li’s predicament as a silver qi surrounded his sword.

Without hesitation, he slashed towards Shi Li’s right arm, hoping to reduce his fighting prowess.

“Shi Li, take this! [Dragon Slash]!”

The sword qi got closer and closer to Shi Li’s arm until

Clink.

Once the sword qi and Shi Li’s arm collided, the sword qi dissipated, only leaving a long white mark on Shi Li’s arm.

Shi Li looked at this and grinned at Chu Tianleng. The shock on his face from before was all a facade, to give Chu Tianleng some false hope. With his combat power at the Grand Dao realm, how could an attack at the Qi Creation realm hurt in?

Shi Li redirected his fist downwards, to where Chu Tianleng’s head was. He wanted to knock Chu Tianleng unconscious rather than injure him.

A looming aura of doom surrounded Shi Li’s fist as it got closer and closer to Chu Tianleng’s head. Chu Tianleng utilized all of his qi to escape this seemingly harmless punch, ending up tens of meters away from Shi Li.

Dust filled the arena stage as Chu Tianleng ran from Shi Li, making the onlookers complain.

Seconds later, the dust settled, letting the onlookers see what was happening on the arena stage, which left them with shock.

Shi Li stood there, with his fists clenched. There was no scratch on his clothes nor any wound visible on his skin. Other than some dust on his clothes, he was completely fine.

On the other side of the arena, stood Chu Tianleng. He was gasping for air as he used almost all of his energy in escaping that attack. He used his sword as a support since he could drop to the ground at any time.

“What”

“How is this possible”

“That can’t be”

The onlookers were speechless. The previous theories regarding Shi Li were slowly disappearing, as he showed his pure strength in front of them. As they say, to see is to believe.

Shi Li looked at Chu Tianleng with a calculative gaze. He knew that Chu Tianleng was left with around 20% of his original combat power, making him smile lightly.

“So…do you admit defeat?”

“Defeat?” Chu Tianleng chuckled as he slowly stood up. His aura was gradually intensifying, forming into something corporeal.

“Defeat is not in my vocabulary at all.”

In an instant, a bright light emanated within Chu Tianleng, making the aura surrounding him become more terrifying as his body exuded limitless amounts of strength.

The onlookers could not help but gasp at the sight.

“One qi gate unlocked? C-Chu Tianleng has reached the Fanxia realm?”

“He wasn’t just at Qi Creation Stage 9? He actually succeeded in forming a connection with his life essence?”

“This competition is over. Shi Li is gonna lose.”

Shi Li raised his eyebrow as he looked at Chu Tianleng with slight surprise. Reaching the Fanxia realm is not an easy feat as it needs you to achieve a stable connection with your life essence, allowing you to exceed your limits.

There are actually a total of 9 layers that limit the human body from using its full power. With each layer broken through, a gate opens up in your body, also known in other words as a qi gate, multiplying the power of your qi by multiplefold.

3 qi gates can be opened at the Fan realm, another 3 could be opened at the Di realm, and the last 3 could be opened at the Tian realm. With that in mind, Shi Li inwardly sighed. He still had a long way to go to become the strongest.

“So” Chu Tianleng went closer and closer towards Shi Li.

“Do you admit defeat?”

“Defeat?” Shi Li smiled at the thought. “Just like you, defeat is not a part of my vocabulary at all.”

In an instant, two bright lights emanated within Shi Li’s body, making his previous aura become more terrifying in the eyes of others.

After being shocked once by Chu Tianleng, the onlookers were shocked once again by Shi Li.

“T-two qi gates? Fanzhong realm?”

“I retract my previous statement. Chu Tianleng is gonna lose.”

“Fanzhong versus Fanxia. You know who’s gonna win at this point.”

Shi Li looked at the onlookers before sighing inwardly again. He knew that he was still at Qi Creation Stage 5, but in order to fool others into thinking that he was at a higher realm, he grabbed two qi spheres from his qi base and placed them into where the two qi gates would be.

‘I should really cultivate more,’ Shi Li thought as he looked at Chu Tianleng. “Now I’m gonna ask you the same question.”

“Do you admit defeat?”

Chu Tianleng dropped his sword while gulping his saliva. He hurriedly replied, “I-I-I-I admit defeat. I’m no match for you.”

Within moments, cheers started to spread throughout the arena, congratulating Shi Li on becoming the champion of the competition.

Elder Li announced throughout the arena, “Shi Li is the winner of the competition. He shall become the new sect leader’s personal disciple!”

As the onlookers and the other partcipants were envious of Shi Li’s new position, Shi Li went to where Elder Li was and shouted.

“I’m not going to be the personal disciple of the new sect leader, but rather Chu Tianleng.”

Chu Tianleng looked at Shi Li with surprise before asking him, “But why Shi Li?”

The others even persuaded him to keep his current position.

“Just be the personal disciple of the new sect leader, just remember not to forget us.”

“It’s fine if you’re the personal disciple. We all respect your strength anyways.”

“Chu Tianleng is a good candidate, but you’re even better.”

Shi Li awkwardly chuckled as he waved his hand to silence everyone. He took a deep breath before continuing.

“The reason as to why I said that Chu Tianleng is going to be the personal disciple, is because”

“I’m the new sect leader.”

Everyone was speechless at his statement. Seconds later, a person asked.

“Y-You must be joking right?”

Shi Li shook his head. “No, I am not. You could also ask Elder Li on this.”

The person looked at Elder Li as Elder Li sighed. “Shi Li is telling the truth, he’s the new sect leader of the Heavenly Fist Sect. First Elder, Second Elder, come here and tell them the truth.”

Ye Qiufei and Xu Zhuyun, who were the First Elder and the Second Elder respectively, appeared in front of the audience, just beside Elder Li.

“I, The First Elder (Second Elder), can tell you the truth that Shi Li is the new sect leader. In fact, he’s been the new sect leader of the sect around 6 months ago.”

“That can’t be” The person was in despair. He pointed at Shi Li before shouting, “How could he be fit of becoming the Heavenly Fist Sect’s position of sect leader? He’s just at the Fanzhong realm while all of you elders at around the Tianzhong realm!”

“Yeah, yeah! This is all a joke! Just a joke!”

“Shi Li is too arrogant for his own good! He truly is unfit for the personal disciple position.”

Shi Li who looked at this, couldn’t help but shout coldly.

“Silence.”

That one word held a sharp and terrifying killing intent that would chop off one’s head if one was not careful. Drops of cold sweat ran through each and every audience’s face.

“If you don’t believe that I’m fit to become the sect leader, then look at this first.”

Shi Li closed his eyes as he activated all of the force multiplier his body held. Simultaneously, he brought out the 300 qi spheres he made, which hovered behind him as they all emanated a faint blue light.

The aura surrounding Shi Li grew more until it became something liquid which covered him. It held the intent of chaos and destruction, all combined into one body. It gave them the feeling of death once they looked at it.

As Shi Li opened his eyes, he clenched his left fist and shot it towards the sky, parting the clouds into two, making the sky above the sect clear.

He looked back at the audience and asked.

“Does anyone have an objection to this?”

Out of nowhere, a person shouted, “I still don’t believe i-”

Shi Li instantly shot a qi beam towards the person, piercing through the person’s brain without any resistance. The person’s body fell to the ground lifelessly, its eyes still filled with shock. Many people wanted to scream, yet couldn’t with Shi Li’s aura.

“I ask again,” the aura surrounding Shi Li becoming stronger. “Does anyone have any objection to me becoming the Heavenly Fist Sect’s new sect leader?”

A few seconds later, Elder Li kneeled to the ground, bowing towards Shi Li. “The Third Elder greets Shi Li as the Heavenly Fist Sect’s sect leader.”

Not long after, Ye Qiufei and Xu Zhuyun kneeled down as well. “The First Elder (Second Elder) greets Shi Li as the Heavenly Fist Sect’s sect leader.”

With the elders kneeling down in front of them, how could they object. With the fear they hold, the audience kneeled down and bowed towards Shi Li.

“We greet Shi Li as the Heavenly Fist Sect’s sect leader!”
