<h4>Chapter 19: The Touch of Red Jade</h4>


    What Li Shanhe taught was in fact quite good. But Li Fuchen realized that he had already learnt all this during his battles with the beasts.


    Demonic beasts have tough hides and quick attacks. If you were to face them head on, it would be foolish. Using his innatebat sense, he only took a short while to understand the concept of striking at the weakness of one’s foe. Thus, his ability to only use a single de to kill ss 1 mid-tier beasts.


    The talent forbat can’t be exin, but it still existed.


    The Yang n’s Yang Kai who has a 3 star bone frame. He also has a greatbat sense, when he was at the fifth level of the Qi Realm, he could single handedly kill ss 1 mid-tier beasts.


    The city’s genius of the century, Guan Xue was even more exceptional. With her 4 star bone frame, she was a naturalbat genius with no need of any guidance.


    Thebat skills of Li Fuchen was also gradually improving with the nourishment from the pale green soul spirit.


    ***


    The next day, Li Fuchen didn’t go to where Li Shanhe as he felt that he should dedicate some time for the Red Jade Sword Style since he already understood what Li Shanhe was going to teach.


    “Uncle Shanhe, Li Fuchen isn’t here.”


    One of the Li n descendants, Li Hongkai reported.


    Li Shanhe’s face ckened, “It’s his loss, it also saves wasting my time. Li Hongkai, Li Xiangdong, work hard, and defeating him during the contest will be an easy task. I would love to see his face then.”


    The cultivation of a high-tier, yellow ss Red Jade Sword Style was of high difficulty.


    In normal cases, without reaching the seventh level of the Qi Realm, one would never be able toprehend the essence of the Red Jade Sword Style.


    To reach thepletion stage for the Red Jade Sword Style, you would have to be around the Origin Realm.


    “I see, the battle techniques of the Red Jade Sword Style is to create openings on the foe.”


    After studying for the past few days, Li Fuchen finally was able to figure out a small portion of what the first move, ‘Touch of Red Jade’ was trying to portray.


    Every martial art has its own battle techniques in order to counter and win against the opposition. The first move, Touch of Red Jade is a suction move. Once the user’s sword came in contact with the foe’s sword, it would have a suction effect on the other sword, breaking the foe’s battle pace. As such, it would be effortless to defeat the foe.


    But this depended on whether the user’s qi was sufficient and of quality. With more qi and a higher quality of it, the suction force would be stronger. But the opposite was also true, if you had a weak and low amount of qi, the suction would be negligent.


    As the leaves are falling, Li Fuchen executed a stab!


    With no motion, the sword attracted the falling leaves.


    Burn!


    Under the qi of the Red Jade Technique, the steel sword was like a firede as the leaves caught fire out of the sudden.


    “This is why is it a high-tier, yellow ss sword style!”


    Li Fuchen was full of admiration, bbergasted at the creator of the Red Jade Sword Style and also amazed at the profundity of the sword arts.


    ***


    In the bat of the eye, just 3 days were left before the genius contest.


    All the major ns’ descendants appeared to be full of vigor after a stretch ofbat training.


    “Yang Kai, your talent forbat surpasses us. After you go to the Cang Lan Sect, you would be one of the better ones amongst the outer sect disciples.”


    Yang Lie and Yang Zhan were in awe of Yang Kai’sbat sense, so they basically just gave some hints instead of actual guidance. Even though Yang Kai’s current status was not like the two of theirs now, but in a few years after Yang Kai gets into the Cang Lan Sect, he would definitely surpass them and they may even need to rely on him in the future.


    Yang Kai dered, “The things that Guan Xue can do, I can too. I will let the Cang Lan Sect know that not recruiting me in advance was their wrong judgement.”


    Yang Kai was in a great mood. Although he only had a 3 star bone frame, his ambition well exceeded what a 3 star bone frame was capable of.

    Guan n: Demonic Beasts training arena


    Howl!


    The Metal w Wolf bent its knees and like a slingshot, rushed at Guan Peng. Using its meter long sharp w, it shed at Guan Peng.


    Clink! nk!


    Pfff!


    With the violent exchanges, Guan Peng executed 3 shes in a row. The 3 des shed by and 1 of them found the mark on the throat of the Metal w Wolf.


    “Li Fuchen, I will let you experience true humiliation at the genius contest.”


    A fierce look was found in Guan Peng’s eyes.


    ***


    An abundance of geniuses entered Yunwu City.


    These geniuses were from the towns in the region of Yunwu City. Within the region there were a few dozens of ns, every n wished to establish themselves in Yunwu City. In the past century, the 4 major ns were not the current major ns. If the current major ns could take over the previous 4, why can’t they take it for themselves?


    “The 4 major ns has the six Tempering Pools, enough to make six descendants with overwhelming physical strength. Who will they be?”


    “Your information sure iscking, they are the Yang n’s Yang Kai, Yang Hao. The Shen Tu n’s Shen Tu Jue and Shen Tu Liang. The Guan n’s Guan Peng and the Li n’s Li Yunhai. With Yang Kai being the strongest among them.”


    “Such prejudice, only the major ns have Tempering Pools, we have nothing. If we had the Tempering Pools, defeating them wouldn’t be an impossible task.”


    “In this world, where would fairness belong. If the day came where our n is a major n in Yunwu City, we would also invest in the Tempering Pool. And in order to ensure a constant supply of Cang Lan Sect disciples, would you still talk about being fair with the small ns?”


    “Hey, whose side are you on? Why are you speaking for the major ns.”


    “I’m not siding with anyone, I just want to let you know, real justice is to be fought for and not protesting whether it is fair or not. Even if the major ns were charitable enough, it would just be like a mirror in the water, broken at any time.”


    The one speaking was around the age of 15, with average looks but a determined face. He had strong looking rough hands unlike normal youths. On his cheeks and neck were w marks, which proved that he had fought demonic beasts and had gotten hurt.


    “Are you He Ping?”


    Out of the blue, the former youth recognized the determined youth.


    He Ping, Yunwu City’s northern region’s famous genius. In the past, his family’s n was one that didn’t lose out to the 4 major ns, but it is now in a slump.


    When he was at the third level of the Qi Realm, he courageously entered the Misty Mountains to toughen himself. He single handedly took out a seventh level Qi Realm bandit when he was only at the fifth level of the Qi Realm. With exceptional livebat skills and titled Yunwu City’s exceptional genius of the north.


    “He Ping, it’s an honor to meet you atst. I am Si Fei. At this contest, we are bound to meet, I hope you are as tough as the rumors go.”


    Hearing He Ping’s name, a youth with sharp eyes and long hair came over.


    “Si Fei.”


    He Ping lifted his head and looked at the long haired youth.


    Si Fei, Yunwu City’s southern region’s ruthless genius. He’s well known for his vicious quick sword arts. It is rumored that he had kill over a dozen Qi Realm experts and has terrifyingbat skills and is extremely ruthless.


    It was because the 4 major ns has great resources that most of their descendants are treated like flowers grown in beautiful vases and have not encountered any hardships. But it is different for the small ns, they have been drilled with the concept that hard work begets sess.
