…
Back then, Li Wuhua was already so abnormal. His cultivation was already at the peak of the young experts … Now that five years had passed, not only did Li Wuhua's cultivation break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm, but his real combat strength was definitely even more terrifying.
Although Jian Qingfeng said that Li Wuhua was Qin Fang's strongest competitor for first place, from his words, it was obvious that he was more optimistic about Li Wuhua's chances of winning first place.
Therefore, he said that the so-called treasures in the Little Wild Secret Realm were of little significance to Qin Fang … To put it bluntly, he was advising Qin Fang not to be too calculative about it!
"You think I might lose?"
At this time, Qin Fang also understood Jian Qingfeng's meaning and couldn't help but ask.
"This …"
Jian Qingfeng's expression was slightly awkward. According to his relationship with Qin Fang, it shouldn't be like this. Li Wuhua's strength was too strong, so he couldn't help but have such thoughts.
In the previous Five Faction Grand Competition, Li Wuhua didn't win first place, so he naturally felt regretful!
This time, he participated in the Five Sect Tournament again, aiming for first place, and also for the treasures in the Little Wild Secret Realm … He was slightly different from the other cultivators, and that was because he was young.
Even when he participated in the Five Faction Grand Competition for the second time, he wasn't even thirty years old …
This time, if he won first place and entered the Little Wild Secret Realm to cultivate again, even if his cultivation didn't reach the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm, it probably wouldn't be too far off … After obtaining the treasures in the Little Wild Secret Realm, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm.
If everything went smoothly, he might be able to step into the Martial Grandmaster realm in the next two or three years …
In that case, he would only reach the Martial Grandmaster realm in his early thirties …
There were still close to twenty years left before the golden cultivation period of his life … This was a relatively long period of time. Even if the cultivation speed of the Supreme-Being realm slowed down a lot, it was still possible for his future achievements to be even higher.
It might be difficult to surpass the Zhizun realm, but reaching Zhizun realm pinnacle shouldn't be too difficult …
If he really reached this level, then he would definitely become a peerless expert standing at the peak of this world!
After Qin Fang joined the Kunlun Sect, he learned more about the warriors of this world.
The Supreme-Being realm was naturally the strongest, but the number of Supreme-Being realm experts in the world wasn't small … The five great sects added together had about twenty of them, and almost every sect had at least four Supreme-Being realm experts.
There were also various small sects, reclusive old monsters, demonic sects, heretical sects, and so on. When all these random forces were added together, there were at least fifty people who were at the Supreme level … They occupied more than half of the world's population.
The other forces in the world also had quite a number of Supreme-Being experts … Just in terms of numbers, they definitely couldn't compare to the Five Great Sects. However, due to the low difficulty of advancement and the large number of Supreme-Being experts, there were more than 50 of them.
In other words, the number of Supreme-Being experts in the world was around a hundred …
It seemed quite a lot, but in fact, when compared to the huge base of seven billion people, it was clear at a glance.
Of course, there were also differences in strength among the Supreme-Being experts.
At least two-thirds of the hundred Supreme-Being experts were at the early stage of the Supreme-Being realm, and one-third of them were at the middle stage of the Supreme-Being realm … As for the late stage of the Supreme-Being realm, there seemed to be only four people known as the "Four Emperors".
Peak of the Supreme-Being realm?
There wasn't a single one of them …
During the war decades ago, there was a Peak of the Supreme-Being realm expert in Long Province. Unfortunately, he was already more than 150 years old at that time. After killing several Supreme-Beings from Fusang, he didn't live long before he passed away!
At least for seventy or eighty years, there hadn't been a Peak of the Supreme-Being realm expert …
Moreover, it was almost impossible for a Peak of the Supreme-Being realm expert to appear in the next ten years!
Among the Five Great Sects, the most promising ones were Li Wuhua from Beyond the Heavens Sect and Qin Jianxin from Sky-sea Pavilion … The reason why the Kunlun Sect recruited Qin Fang was that they fancied Qin Fang's monstrous talent.
However, Qin Fang was still too young and hadn't practiced martial arts for a long time. If he had a few more years, the Kunlun Sect would definitely use all of its resources to cultivate him … Cultivating a Supreme-Being expert would be very pleasing to the Sect, but if they could cultivate a Peak of the Supreme-Being realm expert, that would be the real rise of the Kunlun Sect!
Beyond the Heavens Sect naturally had this intention as well. They had nurtured Li Wuhua with such potential. And, they were also the most optimistic about Li Wuhua's chances of becoming the champion of the Great Competition of the Five Sects. In fact, they felt that Li Wuhua had almost no competitors.
It wasn't just the Beyond the Heavens Sect that thought this way. In fact, the other Four Great Sects basically thought the same, including the Kunlun Sect that had just accepted Qin Fang … They really didn't expect Qin Fang to compete with Li Wuhua for the first place. However, the second and third place could be fought for.
"It seems that I've really been looked down upon …"
After hearing what Jian Qingfeng said, Qin Fang understood a little why his master, Qing Xu, sometimes had such a strange expression. He knew that Qin Fang was too confident and couldn't bear to hurt Qin Fang too badly, so he didn't say it out loud.
"Li Wuhua, I'll wait for you …"
Thinking of this, Qin Fang also calmed down a little. He also glanced at the camp of the Beyond the Heavens Sect. His eyes released a scorching light, and his body was full of fighting spirit.
Qin Fang didn't know if it was because they had a telepathic connection, but he felt that someone from the Beyond the Heavens Sect seemed to be looking at him. Although he wasn't sure who the other party was, he felt that it should be Li Wuhua.
"Junior Brother Qin, there's one more thing that I have to remind you of … There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers within the five great sects. These are just the abnormal experts on the surface. There are also some who are quite monstrous. However, they are still unknown. They are all waiting to make a name for themselves in this Five Sect Tournament!"
Feeling the fighting spirit released by Qin Fang, Jian Qingfeng was also somewhat worried about Qin Fang. At this time, he didn't forget to remind him.
"Last year's Li Wuhua belonged to this category … He was very young, and almost no one thought highly of him. However, he managed to defeat quite a number of famous experts all the way to third place in the Five Sects Tournament!
He even almost won first place … "
A martial artist's talent was indeed the biggest advantage, but some people might not necessarily lose …
Some people were late bloomers. Perhaps they were quiet for the first ten or twenty years. They didn't have much fame, but suddenly began to erupt. They could release a terrifying potential that others couldn't reach in ten or twenty years!
There were also some people who, because of some special fortuitous encounters, such as the Lawless brothers, would make their strength soar by leaps and bounds … These people might look harmless, but their real fighting strength might not be any weaker than those abnormal experts.
"Don't worry, I know …"
Qin Fang nodded. He never underestimated his opponents.
A lion would still use all its strength to catch a rabbit, let alone when facing these strong opponents …
These disciples of the Sects were not like those unorthodox and rogue cultivators. Not only did the Sects provide them with sufficient resources, but they also had all kinds of ancient books and secret techniques. These people were all terrifying opponents. None of them were weak.
If they weren't careful enough, it wasn't impossible for them to fail miserably!
"I've already said what I should say. The rest is up to you …"
Jian Qingfeng didn't want to continue, so he pointed at the Shaolin Temple and said, "Let's go over there and take a look …"
"Why are we going over there?"
Qin Fang asked curiously. That place seemed to be the place where Wutian Monk had set up a gambling den.
"Betting, of course …"
Jian Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Qin Fang and said, "Every time the Five Sects Tournament is held, there will always be someone who will be the banker … You can bet on who will get first place or who will be in the top three. Even more ruthlessly, you can bet on who will make it to the finals!
I've been a little tight lately, so I can earn some pocket money to use … "
"…"
Qin Fang was speechless for a while, but he still followed Jian Qingfeng over there.
Just as Jian Qingfeng said, before they even reached the place, they could hear a loud voice shouting there. They could vaguely see a young Bald Head monk jumping up and down, constantly placing bets for the disciples of the Five Great Sects.
Beside him, there was also a specially made board with various odds written on it ….
Among them, the highest was Li Wuhua's odds of winning the championship … 1: 0.5.
Just from this odds alone, one could tell that including this Monk Wutian, Li Wuhua was almost certain to win the championship. Otherwise, the odds wouldn't be so low.
Just like the "Lawless" brothers, the odds were only 1: 2. The difference was quite big.
Below that was Leng Han's odds of 1: 2.5, Dracophant King's odds of 1: 3 …
As for the names after that, the odds were even worse. 1: 10 was the lowest, and even the weakest one was 1: 1000 … Well, that name now belonged to the pitiful Jia Li Cuo!
Jia Li Cuo's arm had been crippled by Qin Fang, and his strength had been reduced by more than half. If he could still win the championship like this, then these contestants should all commit suicide to apologize to the world …
Even Cui Xiu, who had been taught a lesson by Jia Li Cuo and suffered a little injury, could easily defeat the current Jia Li Cuo …
