Chapter 247: Chapter 194: Instant Defeat!

"That’s what you said yourselves! If you dare to cheat me, then I can only shut the door and beat the dog!"

After receiving the promise from the two men, Li Ping’an returned to the plaza of Moyun Temple, found his place to rest for a while, and waited for the appointed time. Everyone had already gathered under the announcement of Immortal Fei He of Moyun Temple, ready to continue the contest!

"Next, please have Ding Group’s King Tianran and the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, come and compete!"

Following the announcement by Immortal Fei He, King Tianran and the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, had not yet taken the stage but had already drawn everyone’s attention, with the crowd starting to discuss them:

"The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran is about to compete, brothers, watch closely!"

"It seems he can easily defeat the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang!"

"I disagree, the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, is also a hot favorite this year, his strength is exceptional, he might well be a match for King Tianran!"

"You know nothing! King Tianran, who is versed in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, is unfathomably strong. Every powerful faction in the world takes pride in being his friend. He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already reached the level where he could establish his own school. I think the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, is doomed!"

"But the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, is also a young talent, set to be the future Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect, and has unmatched prominence. Even though he may lose, I believe he won’t look too bad in defeat!"

"No matter who wins or loses, this match can be described as a fierce battle between dragons and tigers! Let’s all watch carefully; we might learn something!"

As everyone was discussing, the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, confidently entered the arena under the encouragement of his junior brothers, junior sisters, and dao companion. Radiating success, he decided to show his ultimate skills right from the start. If he could defeat King Tianran, The World’s Foremost Talented, through this battle, he could achieve instant fame.

Observatory Master Immortal Fei He of Moyun Temple was also curious about the outcome, so he asked the Heads of the Four Great Noble Flame Cloud Sect, Zhuge Junchen, the Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, and the Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing for their opinions:

"Who do you think will win this match?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of the Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, and Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing just smiled faintly:

"Is there even a need to compete? Naturally, King Tianran will win!"

The Ghost Taoist also examined Li Ping’an, who, with his arms crossed, purposefully asked:

"Boy, who do you think will win between them?"

"Ah, you old thing, are you testing me?"

The Ghost Taoist simply laughed:

"Hahahaha, go on, I want to hear your thoughts."

Li Ping’an didn’t rush to answer, but he quietly used his Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to secretly check the strengths of King Tianran and the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, and to his great surprise, he couldn’t see King Tianran’s attributes, which meant King Tianran’s strength was above his!

Comparing to those he had encountered before, like The Six Demons of Five Finger Mountain, Yan Chixia, National Teacher Pudu Cihang, Li Wubai, and Dragon Tree Divine Monk, Emperor Tathagata, at least the Ghost Taoist was on the same level!

Having previously fought with The Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, he knew well that these rankings of geniuses under heaven were not for show, they were truly talented individuals. Since King Tianran had been crowned the World’s Number One Talent, he must possess formidable strength.

However, what Li Ping’an never expected was that King Tianran was so powerful that his abilities were mysteriously profound to him, meeting a true genius of this caliber highlighted the gap in their strengths, embarrassing Li Ping’an.

On inspecting the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang’s attributes and cultivation, he was indeed impressive, ranking within the top five among the younger generation present, and with some luck, could enter the top three. However, compared to King Tianran, there was a vast difference between heaven and earth; they simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

"Such a pity for Hehuan Sect’s Zhong Sunzi Wang! To face King Tianran right off the bat!"

After observing, Li Ping’an couldn’t help but feel pity for the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang.

The Ghost Taoist asked in astonishment:

"A pity for what?"

Li Ping’an cheerfully explained:

"It’s a pity that Hehuan Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother, Zhong Sunzi Wang, who might have shone brightly in this Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master and secured an Imperial Court Offering for his sect, ends up facing The Second Most Talented King Tianran! Without a doubt, Zhong Sunzi Wang will surely lose, and the defeat will be quite unsightly!"

"Good insight!"

The Ghost Taoist nodded appreciatively:

"It seems you’re not lacking in strength, young man!"

Fearing that the Ghost Taoist might suspect, Li Ping’an took the opportunity to jest:

"How could I be weak in front of you, sir? Even if I were weak, I’d have to pretend to be strong. Otherwise, how could I have survived under your hand?"

"Hahahaha!"

...

As the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang entered the arena, he bowed respectfully to everyone and then to King Tianran, seated in the most central of the front six chairs:

"I’ve long heard of Young Master Wang’s great name as the World’s Foremost Talented. It’s my fortune to compete with you today, Zhong Sunzi Wang. Please don’t hold back and honor me with your instruction!"

"Ah—"

King Tianran yawned, then drank a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and murmured sleepily:

"I think I’ll hold back after all. Otherwise, if I hit too hard, your body might not even be found intact, let alone provide a proper burial! It would be quite the problem not being able to bury you."

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Senior Brother of Hehuan Sect, Zhong Sunzi Wang, became furious, flinging his long sleeve in displeasure:

"King Tianran, I know you’re strong, but that’s no reason to look down on people! Get on the stage now, why wait any longer!"
