Chapter 1723 The Top 20

"He'd kill everyone here over something like that? He sounds like a villain." Yuan said, joining the conversation.

"Well… I'm not saying he'll definitely do it, but he is very much capable. That man is a crazed bastard who'd aim his sword at the heavens without any hesitation if needed." Kelan said, completely unaware that he was talking to Yuan.

"Sounds like you're scared of him. Is he more powerful than you?"

Kelan rubbed his nose and said, "He may be a little monster with more potential than I, but he is still a hundred—thousand years too early to defeat me."

"And who said I am scared of him? His unpredictably does make me nervous at times, but that is different from fear."

"Is that so?" Yuan smiled inwardly.

Suddenly, another of Emperor Ning's older sons spoke, "T-then what about that beauty who used that ice technique?"

"Ah, she's also taken… by the same man."

"…"

"That nonchalant fairy at the peak of Spirit Enlightenment is probably single, right?"

Kelan merely shook his head in silence.

"Seriously…?"

Kelan sighed and said, "You can forget about coveting any of the women in that group. They all belong to the same guy."

"What?!"

The Ning Family was surprised to hear this. Even Emperor Ning couldn't help but swallow nervously, his gaze filled with envy. "Is this man…also an Emperor?" Emperor Ning had to ask.

How can a single man have so many talented partners if they weren't in a position of high power and authority?

"No, but he's also from the Celestial Overlords, and he is one of the youngest Generals in our faction's history. He'd also qualify to participate in this tournament if he were here."

"…"

"Anyway, he's one hell of a womanizer who is always surrounded by women." Kelan continued.

Yuan had a strong urge to smack Kelan in the back of the head for his earlier statement about all of the girls in the group belonging to him, but he held back.

However, he decided to punish Kelan in the future for spreading misunderstanding when there is a chance.

Sometime later, once all of the participants had their match, they immediately started the second round.

With half of the participants eliminated, the age gap began widening, but it was only by a year or two at most.

During the second round, Wang Ming and Shi Lang were matched against each other, and Wang Ming ended up barely winning.

For the third round, Wu Zao fought Wang Xiuying, with Wu Zao emerging victorious by a landslide.

Although Wang Xiuying also trained with Kelan, she'd only spent half as much time as everyone else since she still had to focus on her alchemy, which was her primary path.

For the seventh round, Li Jinxi ended up matching with Meixiu.

"You can challenge me after the tournament ends, or you can challenge—" _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

At this moment, every single pair of eyes were on Yuan, their gaze filled with anticipation.

"I will let you have the first…three strikes. By the way, I have sealed all of my treasures' abilities, so you don't have to worry about that." Yuan said.

"Then I won't be humble!" Xing Chen roared as his sword became engulfed in flames.

"Burning Lotus Raging Sword Strike!"

Yuan merely stood there as Xing Chen swung his fiery sword at Yuan's neck.

Seeing his opponent aiming for his neck, Yuan willingly tilted his head the other way, giving Xing Chen full access to his neck.

"Your neck is mine!"

The moment the flaming sword touched Yuan's neck, its movement halted abruptly, and the flames were instantly and forcefully absorbed into Yuan's body.

Kelan stood up from his seat and exclaimed, "Fire Harmony?!"

"W-what?" Emperor Ning looked at him with a startled and puzzled expression.

"A level that is even higher than flame immunity. Not only is he impervious to flames but he could also absorb them and turn it into his own energy! The peak of fire mastery!"

Kelan clenched his fists as his body trembled in excitement. Even he has only achieved Super Fire Immunity after tens of thousands of years of rigorous training.

"No… There's simply no way he could've achieved Fire Harmony at that age. It must have been one of his techniques at work…" Kelan quickly shook his head, almost as if he couldn't believe that he had been fooled by such an obvious fact, even if it was only for a brief moment.

"Fuck, that surprised me…" he mumbled a moment later.
