Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”To be able to fuse six True Forms at only the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. Would he not become even more monstrous after reaching the Spirit Manifestation Realm? If such a person cultivates to the perfection stage of the 9th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, he might become an expert no weaker than Mo Qingyuan.”

”Could it be that after remaining silent for so many years, the Ancient Wild True Sect is finally beginning its revival?”

”Regardless, another super dark horse has risen. As for whether he or Li Yun is the strongest dark horse, it is truly hard to say.”

Man Tao’s performance triggered waves of exclamation, leaving countless people shocked.

One had to know that Su Zimo was the strongest Heavenly Core Realm expert of Heaven Mandate Academy, a seeded contestant from a top-tier power. Yet he had been defeated by a disciple of a second-rate force.

This was almost like a fairy tale and was difficult to believe.

Even if this second-rate power had once been a top-tier first-rate power, it had declined after all. Today, it was only a second-rate power.

In the stands, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the Ancient Wild True Sect’s team leader.

Although the Ancient Wild True Sect had declined for many years, its foundation still remained. As long as a genius of sufficient weight appeared and soared into the sky, returning to the ranks of first-rate powers would not be too difficult.

And Man Tao was the hope of the Ancient Wild True Sect.

Many experts of the Ancient Wild True Sect had already decided that Man Tao would be the key figure in the sect’s revival.

”Man Tao’s strength is indeed formidable.”

In the contestants’ seating area, Li Yun also nodded slightly, acknowledging Man Tao’s strength.

Back in the Annihilation Battlefield, he had once fought a disciple of the Ancient Wild True Sect. That person had only fused four True Forms, yet he still possessed the ability to challenge those in higher realms. Compared to Man Tao, however, that person was undoubtedly far inferior.

Man Tao, who had fused six True Forms, could be considered a top-tier expert of the first echelon. His strength was already approaching the three super-tier experts like Huang Tianlin.

The following battle was also highly significant.

Xie Wushang versus the First Knight.

Both of them were top-tier experts of the first echelon, second only to Huang Tianlin and the other two super-tier geniuses. This battle was naturally incredibly intense.

In the end, after a fierce battle lasting nearly an hour, Xie Wushang proved slightly superior and defeated the First Knight.

By now, the situation of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly had gradually become clear.

In the eyes of the crowd, there was basically no suspense regarding the top three. Those positions would definitely belong to the three super-tier experts represented by Huang Tianlin. As for the top five, there was still great suspense.

So far, Xie Wushang, the First Knight, Man Tao, Li Yun, and even Su Zimo still had the possibility of breaking into the top five.

With five great experts competing for only two spots, the competition was undeniably intense. Until the very last moment, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.

Subsequently, in the tenth round of matches, Li Yun’s opponent was the Second Knight.

Although the Second Knight’s strength was not weak, it was only on par with Absolute Sword Path’s level. Naturally, he was no match for Li Yun.

In the eleventh round of matches, Li Yun’s opponent was the third of the Four Devil Princes, Mei Yaorao.

Although Mei Yaorao’s Way of Seduction was powerful, it was completely ineffective against Li Yun. One could even say that she had met her natural nemesis.

Therefore, this battle did not take much time.

Mei Yaorao directly admitted defeat, allowing Li Yun to gain a comfortable victory.

Also in this round, Xie Wushang fought Su Zimo.

In the end, Xie Wushang won decisively, and Su Zimo was eliminated early from the competition for the top five.

At this point, only Li Yun, Xie Wushang, the First Knight, and Man Tao remained to compete for the two remaining top-five spots.

And next, in the twelfth round of matches, it was Li Yun’s turn to battle Man Tao.

”It is finally starting.”

”Li Yun versus Man Tao. This battle can be called the battle of the strongest dark horses. Who exactly is the number one dark horse of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly? It all depends on this fight.”

”Who do you think will win?”

”Hard to say. Logically, Man Tao has fused six True Forms, so he should have the advantage. But Li Yun is too uncanny. His Slaughter Sword Intent is too powerful. Every time people think he is going to lose, he always manages to create an unexpected reversal.”

”Now that you mention it, that really is true. Forget it. I will not guess anymore. Instead of overthinking, it is better to watch this match closely.”

”Exactly.”

The battle between Li Yun and Man Tao made everyone’s hearts race.

At this stage, the competition had reached a fever pitch, and true heavyweights were beginning to clash.

This was also a deliberate arrangement by Elder Qing and the other judges. The stronger the contestants were, the later they would face one another.

This was partly to increase the spectacle of the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.

Secondly, it was to give these powerhouses enough time to prepare and adjust.

Thirdly, it was to give cultivators with potential, like Li Yun, enough space and opportunity to grow.

”Li Yun, I have heard Little Cang mention you.”

On the arena, Man Tao spoke unexpectedly. ”At that time, he said you were a true genius destined to shine brilliantly in the Central Continent. I just did not expect to encounter you so soon. Moreover, your talent is even more startling than Little Cang described.”

”Little Cang?”

Li Yun was startled, but he quickly realized the answer. ”Are you talking about Man Cang?”

”Yes.”

Man Tao nodded. ”Little Cang is my younger brother. In that case, you and I can be considered to have a slight connection. However, I will not hold back in this battle because of that.”

”Of course.”

Li Yun spoke calmly.

In this competition, let alone a slight connection, even biological brothers would have to use their full strength to determine a winner.

This battle was destined to be unavoidable.
