Li Ye counted the people who entered the finals, there were fifty-six in total. Among them, there were seventeen people, including him, who had passed the preliminaries. Most of these people were at the peak of the sixth level of the Lingwu class.
In terms of cultivation, only a few people are at a relatively low level.
The most dazzling among them is Li Datou, who is at the peak of the fifth level of Lingwu level. He is the only person who reaches the finals without reaching the sixth level of Lingwu level.
"That kid is born with divine power. Although his realm is a little lower, even those who are one level higher than him can be knocked away by a few punches!"
Many people have lingering fears about Li Datou's natural power. Among them, Li Yijian and others, as the strong ones in the preliminaries that reached the finals, looked at him with a hint of fear.
"Although this kid's level is a little low, he might be able to make it into the top twenty of this genius summit!"
However, some people sneered. Taking the geniuses who participated in the Genius Summit last year as an example, many people found it ridiculous. Some of them even sneered and said, "So what if you are born with supernatural power? Martial arts masters and martial arts cultivators
The gap is even greater than you losers think!"
As soon as this sentence came out, many people's faces froze, and then they smiled bitterly.
Yes, the gap between martial arts cultivators and martial arts masters is too big!
Those below the seventh level of the Lingwu level are called martial practitioners. They practice the power of the blood soul to strengthen their body. But it is different after reaching the seventh level of the Lingwu level. In addition to the stronger body, the martial artist can also stimulate the power of the blood soul in the body.
Real power!
"Blood Soul Gangqi!"
Li Ye thought of the previous battle between Li Huo and Li Mo. Li Huo, who inspired the bleeding soul energy, undoubtedly increased his attack power by more than ten times. Although this method was not sustainable, people below the seventh level of the Lingwu level could not do it at all.
It is impossible to withstand this kind of attack. Not to mention that the blood soul power in a martial artist's body is more than ten times that of a person at the sixth level of the spiritual martial arts. The difference can be imagined.
Fifty-six people, all drew lots to determine their first-round opponents.
After hearing the rules of the finals, Li Ye thought slightly.
"Sometimes, luck is also part of strength."
Li Yuanjia shook his head and smiled, and went up to draw lots first. Li Ye looked at it and saw that the note in his hand was seventeen.
At this time, there is a respected elder from each of the three major families who is responsible for the fairness of the draw. Everyone will draw a piece of paper with their own number written on it.
"Everyone draws one card, number 1 and number 56, number 2 and number 55! And so on!"
Li Ye also went up, took out a piece of paper from one of the wooden boxes, spread it out and saw a number written on it, twenty-nine.
"Twenty-nine?" In other words, he will compete with the person who draws the number 28 to qualify for the next round.
Soon, he saw his opponent.
"A boy from the Li family?"
The one on the 28th was a young man from the Wu family. When he saw Li Ye coming up, his face was slightly sarcastic and his eyes were contemptuous. He didn't take Li Ye seriously at all.
"Seventh level of spiritual martial arts, martial artist!"
When everyone saw this young man from the Wu family, they all shook their heads, thinking that Li Ye was destined to lose.
As for the Wu family, some people smiled and secretly sighed that they were really lucky in the first round and met a weakling.
Only some people who knew a little bit about Li Ye's methods had strange expressions on their faces, especially Li Yuanjia and other people who had seen Li Ye's strength displayed in the battle between the inner disciples. They all looked at the Wu family disciple as if they were looking for a good show.
"Boy, tell me your name."
Seeing that his opponent was only at the late sixth level of the Lingwu level, Wu Lei looked relaxed, raised his fingers at Li Ye, and glanced at Li Ye with a playful look, quite disapproving of it.
"Li Ye."
At this time, there were already people around who secretly placed bets on Wu Lei to win. Only a few people wanted to bet on an upset and placed bets on Li Ye.
"Although Wu Lei did not make it into the top ten at last year's Genius Summit, he still made it into the top twenty. His strength should not be underestimated! Unless he encounters a pervert who is expected to hit the top ten, it is impossible to lose, and it is still in front of him.
This is especially true for a junior who is at a lower level!"
Some people who thought they were well-informed were talking privately, as if they were very optimistic that Wu Lei could win.
"This Wu Lei has the strength of the late seventh level of the Lingwu class. He is not considered a weakling among the strong warriors of the same level."
At this time, Wu Lei took out his weapon, a three-foot green blade with a cold light.
"Sword cultivator!"
Seeing the weapon in the opponent's hand, Li Ye's eyes narrowed slightly. Sword cultivators are usually more powerful than people of the same level, and their attacks are more terrifying.
"Although Wu Lei is only at the late stage of the seventh level of the Lingwu Order, because of his sword cultivation, he can still fight even if he encounters a strong man at the peak of the seventh level of the Lingwu Order."
Slightly suppressing his contempt, Li Ye knew that although he had defeated a strong man like Li Wei who was at the seventh level of spiritual martial arts, he could not take it lightly.
A swordsman's attack is often fatal in one move! If you underestimate the enemy, the consequences may be fatal.
"Boy, you are unlucky to have met me!"
There was an evil laugh, and a round of sword light flashed across, as fast as lightning, piercing Li Ye's throat!
Quick! This sword was so fast that many people didn't even react. They saw it piercing Li Ye's throat. Many people immediately covered their mouths and exclaimed.
"wrong!"
Wu Lei's expression changed. He didn't feel the feeling of piercing his flesh at all, as if it was piercing the air.
Sure enough, the next moment everyone saw the figure whose throat was pierced, no blood flowed out, but gradually faded away.
"Afterimage!" Wu Lei whispered, and then slashed out behind him with his sword!
Huh! Another afterimage was split open directly, but this result made Wu Lei's face gradually become serious from the relaxed one at the beginning.
"What a speed!"
Everyone in the audience could clearly see that the moment Wu Lei drew his sword, Li Ye had already left the place, leaving behind an afterimage clone. At the same time, he stepped on his feet and was behind Wu Lei in the blink of an eye.
However, Wu Lei reacted quickly, turned around and struck out with his sword, but unfortunately failed again.
"Mistake Step!"
As early as when he saw that Wu Lei was a swordsman, Li Ye knew that the opponent's attack speed was definitely faster than that of an ordinary martial artist, so he stepped on the lost track from the beginning, and several clones appeared in an instant, looking for opportunities.
"A sword and a breeze!"
Whoa! A ray of sword light was like a crescent moon, passing through the surroundings in an instant, and two clones were directly chopped into pieces in an instant.
"Frost Fist!"
A hint of cold breath caused a thin layer of frost to appear all over Wu Lei's body, slightly affecting his speed.
"Stormy storm!"
Bang bang bang! In an instant, Li Ye's shadow appeared in all directions, and then launched a fierce attack on Wu Lei, who was affected by the Frost Fist.
"Wu Lei was actually suppressed!"
Seeing Wu Lei, who was tired of defending and at a disadvantage, many people in the Wu family had solemn expressions on their faces, and some couldn't believe it.
"This kid came out of nowhere. He is obviously at the late sixth level of the Lingwu level, but he has actually practiced two yellow-level high-level combat skills, and he has reached the Dacheng level in both of them!"
On the Li family side, Li Xuan and others looked dangerous, as if they were not surprised by this result.
Just a trace of murderous intent flickered on some people and disappeared.
It has to be said that Wu Lei, as one of the top 20 in the last Genius Summit, is definitely not weak. However, he met a pervert like Li Ye. After a long battle, he finally showed a flaw and was kicked out of the ring.
Li Ye controlled the strength very well. Wu Lei, who was kicked out of the ring, only suffered a slight injury. Although he was resentful and unwilling to give up, there was nothing he could do.
In the first round of the final, Li Ye won easily.
Regarding this result, the faces of the Wu family and the Yuwen family among the three major families were not very good. On the Li family side, except for Li Yuanjia, the rest of the people looked at Li Ye with a somewhat complicated look.
Among them, those of the Great Elder lineage had a hint of gloom in their eyes.
"This kid not only made it to the finals, he even won the first round!"
As one of the four geniuses at the last Genius Summit, Li Mo certainly won easily. Although his opponent had a powerful cultivation level at the seventh level of the Lingwu Order, he failed to survive three moves in his hands and was defeated directly.
Just when he saw Li Ye winning, his face sank slightly.
Soon, half of the fifty-six people were eliminated, leaving only twenty-eight people.
"The remaining twenty-eight people are the strongest people under the age of twenty-five in the entire Wuzhou City!"
After the first round, Li Ye noticed that Li Ye had been eliminated by many people, including Li Yu. He happened to meet a strong martial artist from the Wu family and was defeated in less than ten moves.
On the other hand, Li Yijian and Li Datou actually fought fiercely for a long time and reached the second round.
At this time, there were only a few people left below the seventh level of Lingwu. In addition to the three people from the Li family, there was another person Li Ye saw. He was a casual cultivator who was at the peak of the sixth level of Lingwu.
As hard as steel, it killed a seventh-level spiritual martial artist alive!
"This man is one of the top ten mercenaries in Wuzhou City. His name is King Kong. He got a body-training technique from somewhere. His whole body is as hard as iron. Ordinary swords and palms cannot hurt him."
A voice rang out from beside him. Li Ye turned around and saw a depressed and somewhat annoyed Li Huo. He was the one who fought against this person just now, but was defeated in the end, causing him to be laughed at by many people.
"Can't ordinary means break through his defense?"
Li Huo's strength was clear to Li Ye. Under normal circumstances, it would not be a problem to pass the first round, unless he met a martial arts master at the eighth level of Lingwu. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. The attack power of the violent wind leg he practiced was weak. When encountering this kind of defense,
The opponent who was famous for his strength was completely restrained to death.
"Unless it's an advanced weapon, it's difficult to hurt him."
Of course, there is one thing he didn't say. If you use the Blood Soul Gang Qi, you can also break through the defense. However, it is still a bit reluctant for a seventh-level spiritual martial artist to use the Blood Soul Gang Qi, unless you are a martial arts master at the eighth level.
