18 Chapter 18 Tournament (II)

Others might not have noticed but Elder Chen and Elder Long had noticed every action Lim Su Ren made.

"Haha. What a clever girl, she had been observing her opponent's every move. She quickly figured out the weakness of her opponent and defeated easily while going from being defensive to the offensive", said Elder Chen while looking at Lim Su Ren with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Didn't the rumors say that Lim Su Ren was only at the second stage of energy refining realm two months ago! but she is at the sixth stage now"

"How is this possible? If she achieved the sixth stage of the energy refining realm within two months, then her cultivation speed could only be described as Heaven defying"

"When did that trash suddenly became strong even to be able to defeat Chen Ziyi"

"So, she had been hiding her strength all along!"

"Chen Ziyi could have made it to the top twenty if she hadn't met Lim Su Ren"

Below the stage, the crowd started to talk about Lim Su Ren.

"So what if she made it to top forty, she won't be able to make it to top twenty", sneered Chen Xiaonan.

Mu Wuyao and Yi Mingyu only looked at Lim Su Ren once and didn't pay much attention. Only Li Zhangwei had a look of excitement on his face.

"Interesting, finally a tough opponent," said Li Zhangwei as he crossed his arms looking at Lim Su Ren.

After the third batch, the fourth batch went up and on the fifth batch, Li Zhangwei went up the stage and defeated his opponent with a single move.

Every candidate capable to be placed on the top ten had defeated their opponent with a single move.

Soon, the top forty participants were determined. Cao Chen once again steps up the platform and said, "The top Forty participants have already been determined, now to determine the top twenty participants we will use the same method. All the top forty participants, please come up and pick your lots"

Again, the participants went up the platform to pick up the lots, Lim Su Ren and Bai Xianrong slowed down their pace and went up slowly. While they were stepping up the platform, Chen Xiaonan who was going back after picking his caught sight of Lim Su Ren and walked towards her.

"Lim Su Ren, you better not pick me as your opponent, or else you will suffer terribly", said Chen Xiaonan with a sarcastic tone.

Lim Su Ren didn't even bother to argue with him, she just offhandedly answered, " I pray the same for you"

"You...", Chen Xiaonan was so pissed off with Lim Su Ren's attitude.

"Chen Xiaonan, if you cross your line I won't spare you either, know that Su Ren is my sister, now get lost", Bai Xianrong retorted harshly.

"Let's see how long you will be able to protect her", said Chen Xiaonan before leaving the platform fuming with anger.

"Sister Xianrong, you don't need to interfere between our grudges, my problem, I will handle it with my own", said Lim Su Ren.

Bai Xianrong sighed and said, "Su Ren, I know you want to deal with him yourself but Chen Xiaonan is at the eighth stage of the Energy Refining realm, you have to be careful"

"I know, but you don't have to worry, I have my ways," said Lim Su Ren reassuring Bai Xianrong.

After all the participants picked their lots, the battle for the top twenty started. This time Lim Su Ren picked the sixteen number, the fourth batch while Bai Xianrong picked the twelfth number, the third batch.

The battle for the top twenty quickly ended, both Lim Su Ren and Bai Xianrong had an easy opponent. Even this time, Lim Su Ren only used her Golden palm move to defeat her opponent.

Now, the most important part of the battle had come, the crowd was excited because those who made it to the top ten will receive an invitation from Misty Mountain Academy even if they didn't get the top three positions.

The top twenty participants still had to pick the lots to determine their opponents.

This time Lim Su Ren's opponent was at the seventh stage of Energy Refining Realm.

"Admit defeat or else I won't be nice to you later even if you beg me", said a young man in red robes holding a spear.

"How are you so sure that I will lose without even trying", said Lim Su Ren with a smirk. She had not even use fifty percent of her strength on the last two battles and she had yet to use her sword. But Lim Su Ran didn't plan to use her sword until she made it to the top ten.

" Well, if you insist on battling with me, then I won't be merciful"

"Cut the crap and let's battle", said Lim Su Ren. The people she despises the most are those who looked down on others.

This time Lim Su Ren was the first one to attack. She rushed towards her opponent sending out two palm attacks infused with her red flame consecutively. Her opponent used the spear to block to attack but was still pushed back a few meters after the second palm attack hit the spear.

Back at the VIP viewing arena, Lim Shotian was observing Lim Su Ren's every move. Looking at the palm attacks she sends out, Lim Shotian had a different expression on his face.

'She had already comprehended the first level of the Golden Palm technique within a short period but even though the technique is high-class Earth grade technique the first level can't be this powerful to even push back her opponent who is at the seventh stage of Energy Refining Realm' Lim Shotian thought to himself.

"Brother Shotian, are you worried about Su Ren", asked Bai Xiuying noticing the odd expression on his face.

Lim Shotian pulled himself back from his thoughts and replied, " As a father of course I am worried but I never thought she would be this capable"

"Su Ren indeed is a genius, within a short period she had completely turned into another person", said Bai Xuiying.

At the stage, Lim Su Ren continued to use her palm attacks to handle her opponent.

"Lighting spear", shouted the young man in red as he thrust the spear towards Lim Su Ren's direction.

'He finally created an opening for me to attack ' thought Lim Su Ren as she infused the red flame with her third palm move of the Golden Flame technique and quickly send it towards her opponent while sending out the second and first move of the golden palm technique infused with cold flame consecutively at a lightning speed.
