The Seeded Contestant Battle was hosted swiftly and there were only ten participants who were also the top 10 rankers of the Power Rankings.

On the martial stage, the Dean, Meng Chihang, the Assistant Dean, Lin Zhubai, the other assistant deans, inner institute elders, and inner institute mentors were all in their seats.

"The Seeded Contestant Battle will now officially begin. All cadets will have to fight nine matches. The cadet that wins all nine matches will be the Seeded Contestant for the 24 Martial Institutions Rankings Tournament." Assistant Dean, Lin Zhubai stood up and declared.

The first match started quickly. The no.7 Liu Qing was fighting against the no.9 inner institute cadet.

Below the stage,

Li Fuchen

Li Fuchen

Main Protagonist

and the seven other cadets of the Power Rankings were standing in their individual places of choice.

Li Fuchen might not have challenged any of the Power Rankings' cadets, but the news of him defeating Liu Qing had spread throughout the inner institute. As such, he had replaced Liu Qing on the 6th rank and was the same rank as Zhao Han.

Otherwise, Li Fuchen might have missed out on the Seeded Contestant Battle. It would be rather troublesome for him to defeat one of the Power Rankings' cadets before the Seeded Contestant Battle.

After a few matches, it was Li Fuchen's turn.

Li Fuchen's opponent was the no.8 inner institute cadet.

Li Fuchen only used one sword to send his opponent flying. The Dean, Meng Chihang nodded silently and believed that Li Fuchen had the strength to be in the top five of the Power Rankings.

Wang Heilong was next and his opponent had conceded.

In response, Meng Chihang smiled.

The darkness bone frame was indeed extraordinary. Meng Chihang didn't expect Wang Heilong to defeat the no.2 Gu Heng, three months ago.

If Wang Heilong was given a few more years, he would definitely reach the top three of the 24 Martial Institutions Rankings Tournament.

Half of the battle was over and the situation was already very clear.

Situ Tao and Wang Heilong had the strength to contest for the Seeded Contestant spot. They were followed closely by Gu Heng and Li Fuchen. The rest of the cadets weren't strong enough to contest against the four of them.

"Dean, congratulations. Both your in-room cadets are extremely outstanding!" Lin Zhubai still felt that it was a pity. It would have been great if Li Fuchen could be his in-room cadet. As for Wang Heilong, Lin Zhubai had already given up. Since ancient times, all 6-star special bone frames would definitely be the Dean's in-room cadet.

Meng Chihang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if they are outstanding now. Their future achievements are yet to be seen."

In the middle phase of the battle, Li Fuchen was matched up against Gu Heng.

"Senior Gu Heng, please give me some pointers." Li Fuchen drew his Scarlet Blood Sword.

Gu Heng said, "Junior Li, bring it on."

For the recent few months, Gu Heng had been in seclusion while thinking of methods to neutralize the Darkness Sky Canopy. As for Li Fuchen, he didn't even consider about Li Fuchen.

For people who awakened divine abilities, only others with divine abilities would be comparable.

"Be careful then."

Li Fuchen brandished his sword and shot out thousands of sword lights.

"Mm!"

Meng Chihang and Lin Zhubai were surprised. When did Li Fuchen's Green Sun Sword Intent reach such a level? It didn't seem to be earth class mid-tier anymore and was at the earth class high-tier. If it was true, then it would be terrifying.

Gu Heng was in a sorry state because he was careless and had no choice but to retreat constantly without any power to resist.

Wang Heilong squinted his eyes below the stage.

After promoting to the inner institute, he thought had overtaken Li Fuchen and didn't expect Li Fuchen's progress to be very fast and actually had stronger regular strength than him.

On the stage, Gu Heng's body released the sharp metal splendor and imposing qi presence to barely stand firm.

"Junior Li, you have hidden your strength very well." Gu Heng had an unpleasant expression.

Earlier on, Li Fuchen had forced him to use the sharp metal power.

"Senior Gu Heng, it is best for you to execute your divine ability!" Li Fuchen brandished his Scarlet Blood Sword. The sword lights were released and the sword presence was stronger than before.

"Talking big."

Clink Clink Clank Clank!

Gu Heng's weapon was a spear and when it thrust, the tyrannic golden splendor would assault Li Fuchen.

"Give up."

Li Fuchen used a sword strike to disarm Gu Heng's spear instantly.

In terms of regular strength, Gu Heng would never be able to keep up with Li Fuchen. If Li Fuchen wanted, he could claim Gu Heng's life in a single sword attack. Gu Heng wouldn't even have the chance to execute his divine ability.

"Sharp metal divine ability, Sharp Metal Divine Spear!"

Gu Heng yelled out while his palm glowed with golden radiance. A golden spear that was covered with patterns had appeared.

When wielding the golden spear, Gu Heng's qi presence was several times stronger.

If it was an honorable fight, Wang Heilong would never be able to defeat him even if there were three Wang Heilong.

Gu Heng didn't lose to Wang Heilong, he had lost to the strange Darkness Sky Canopy.

"Junior Li, time for you to be defeated!"

Gu Heng was angry and had thrust the spear at Li Fuchen.

When the spear strike was thrust out, the spacious stage was filled with golden dazzling light.

Let alone the high-level Reincarnation Realm experts of the outside world, most of the inner institute mentors didn't dare to confront this attack head-o
