The Strongest Dandy in the City

Chapter 2498: Chapter 2487: Branch Competition Begins

Time passed.

The day of the Six Great Hidden Sects’ branch duels had arrived.

However.

The branch duels were merely appetizers before the resource battles, so those official disciples from the Six Great Hidden Sects, who were preparing for the resource battles, had no intention of watching the branch duels. In the eyes of these geniuses, the branch duels were truly uninteresting.

As Ye Chenfeng expected.

He pretended to have an "awakening," showing a bit of strength, but it did not stir much commotion.

After all, the strength he maintained superficially after the "awakening" was only at the late stage of Earth God Realm level six.

This level of strength was insignificant in the eyes of those geniuses.

In the Cultivation World, many people encounter good luck, but those who rely on luck to gain a little strength will definitely not achieve great success in the future.

Ye Chenfeng, without a doubt, was seen by others as someone lucky.

But after Ye Chenfeng’s "awakening" at the Stele, the cultivators arriving in front of the Stele to stop and look were increasing.

This time, leading the Wus to the competition, Wu Tianfu and Wu Zhiming both came to see Ye Chenfeng once.

In front of someone as treacherous as Wu Tianfu, he naturally did not reveal any flaws.

As for the genius of the Wus, Wu Lingxiang, Wu Huaqing, and Wu Yanwen, they did not come to find Ye Chenfeng.

This made Ye Chenfeng breathe a sigh of relief; he had interacted with Wu Lingxiang for quite some time, and if recognized by Wu Lingxiang, it would lead to some trouble.

Wu Lingxiang’s nature was cold.

Although she heard about Ye Chenfeng’s awakening, she was wholeheartedly preparing for the resource battles. She wanted to defeat Jiang Caixuan in the resource battles, make Jiang Caixuan lose convincingly, and then make Jiang Caixuan bow out gracefully since Ye Chenfeng belonged to her.

So now she had no intention of meeting the so-called "awakened" branch disciples of the Wus.

Both Wu Huaqing and Wu Yanwen considered Ye Chenfeng just lucky; an "awakening" that barely raised his strength to the late stage of Earth God Realm level six truly did not interest them.

The Six Great Hidden Sects’ branch duels.

Wu Tianfu did not personally take charge, merely delegating the responsibility to Wu Zhiming.

The Wus were like this.

The other sects within the Six Great Hidden Sects did the same, merely sending an elder from the sect headquarters to oversee the event.

But.

Although it was just a branch duel.

The people from the Six Great Hidden Sects were not too interested, but the other cultivators within the Ancient City of Dragon Soul were quite eager, filling the audience seats around Broken Dragon Platform early in the morning.

The Wus, the Jiangs, the Divine Fire Sect, Demon Cloud Holy Land, Qian Ling Sect, and Blood Flame Valley.

All those participating in the branch duels from the Six Great Hidden Sects were present.

Within each sect.

The one leading the branch was merely an elder from headquarters, and the strongest elders from these sects in the Ancient City had yet to appear, likely saving for the formal resource battles.

Wu Zhiming led Ye Chenfeng, Wu Lingyu, Wu Qishui, Wu Ren, and Wu Gui and others.

"Kid, you’ve elevated to the late stage of Earth God Realm level six through awakening, but don’t get carried away. The branch duels are not as simple as they might seem." Wu Zhiming reminded Ye Chenfeng, finding him quite unique.

Regarding Wu Zhiming’s reminder.

Ye Chenfeng nodded slightly.

This time, in the Six Great Hidden Sects’ branch duels.

Each sect sent three branch disciples, totaling eighteen participants.

The dueling method for the branch duels was straightforward, conducted as a tournament.

One-on-one battles.

However.

The Blood Flame Valley among the Six Great Hidden Sects only sent two branch disciples, as one branch disciple suffered serious internal injuries last night while cultivating, due to errors during practice.

The Blood Flame Valley did not have a branch disciple to replace them on such short notice, so only two branch disciples could be sent to compete.

This branch duel was merely to set the mood, Blood Flame Valley did not value it too much.

Therefore.

The eighteen participants became seventeen, turning the count into an odd number, guaranteeing one person to get a bye and directly advance to the next round.

Branch duels were held by drawing lots.

To Ye Chenfeng’s surprise.

His luck was exceptionally good, and he drew a bye for the first round of duels.

Wu Qishui was not as lucky, his opponent for the round being Tian Wu.

That same Qian Ling Sect disciple who had previously knocked Wu Qishui down and said that if he met Ye Chenfeng in battle, then Ye Chenfeng would assuredly die.

Upon realizing his opponent was Tian Wu.

Wu Qishui’s face looked a bit grim, especially since his duel with Tian Wu was the first to take place.

The branch duels of the Six Great Hidden Sects.

The participating disciples were not qualified to compete on the Broken Dragon Platform, so a new stage was built next to the vast Broken Dragon Platform.

Wu Qishui’s strength was at the initial stage of Heavenly God Realm level one.

Tian Wu’s strength was at the late stage of Heavenly God Realm level one.

The two stepped onto the stage simultaneously.

Wu Gui under the stage smiled and patted Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder, saying, "Without even battling, you’ve entered the top ten, which is a good start. If you can reach the top five, that would be even more perfect."

Wu Zhiming and Wu Ren both thought Ye Chenfeng’s luck was extraordinarily good, drawing a bye right from the start.

On the stage.

Wu Qishui and Tian Wu faced each other in combat.

The branch duels had no restrictions, even killing an opponent during the duel was allowed, but if the opponent rolled off the stage, the other party could not pursue and kill.

Tian Wu did not look at Wu Qishui but fixed his gaze on Ye Chenfeng below the stage.

His finger pointed at Ye Chenfeng: "Kid, hope you keep this luck going."

Upon seeing that Tian Wu ignored him.

Wu Qishui felt it would be hard to win against Tian Wu, yet his anger was continuously rising.

Wu Qishui’s aura rapidly climbed, and he shouted at Tian Wu, "Your current opponent is me."

Tian Wu regarded Wu Qishui with disdain: "Just a defeated opponent, who did I send flying last time?"

"Since you want to die early, I’ll fulfill your wish."

Tian Wu’s aura suddenly surged.

His silhouette flickered.

Wu Qishui felt a blur in front of his eyes, unable to catch Tian Wu’s figure. Panic appeared on his face.

Before he could react.

"Bang!"

Tian Wu suddenly appeared in front of Wu Qishui.

He employed no technique, just elevated his Spiritual Energy to the fullest and collided directly with Wu Qishui using his body.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The air abruptly filled with the sound of bones breaking.

Under Tian Wu’s collision.

Many of Wu Qishui’s bones broke instantly, and he kept spewing blood from his mouth.

His body was sent flying out of the stage.

Falling heavily below the stage.
