Path of Absolute Transcendence

The next battle also started, and in this round, Leiyin directly qualified for the next round without even playing a match.

Since there were only 25 participants, a single lucky winner had the chance to advance to the next round, and Leiyin happened to be that winner.

Kai also did not play in that match; his opponent, like in the previous match, gave up as soon as he saw him.

'Why are these guys afraid of me ?' Kai thought, speechless, about the situation.

Aman won the match without putting in any real effort. His talent ability increases his battle power, and there is almost no disadvantage other than the weakness that comes after deactivating the talent.

For the next round, Kai's opponent did not forfeit the match; instead, he played against Kai. He was also a sword master, but his sword intent was no match for Kai, and he lost the match without any suspense.

Kai did not go all out during that battle, he battled with his opponent with only pure swordsmanship. They fought the match with only the basics and displayed the true power of basic moves.

"His talent in swordsmanship is the best I have ever seen in my life," the grand elder praised Kai for his swordsmanship.

"Grandelder, are you telling the truth? I don't think there is anything special about his swordsmanship other than a solid foundation in the basics." Yang Wudi expressed his opinion about Kai in reply to Yang Liwei.

"Yeah, your words are correct, but that is only for you. In our realm, we can see things that ordinary people are incapable of ever seeing in their entire lives." Yang Liwei calmly explained the reason for his praise.

"Grand Elder, can you explain the reason?" Yang Wudi asked politely. He wanted to know about Kai's specialty after hearing Yang Liwei's opinion.

"Did you see his sword intent during the match?" Yang Liwei questioned Yang Wudi.

"Yeah, he added sharpness as his attribute in the sword intent." Yang Wudi replied.

"No, his sword attribute is not sharpness. All the sword intent that I have encountered has only one attribute; in some rare cases, it has two or three attributes.

But his sword intent is dynamic; it is ever-changing and even capable of transforming into something new." Yang Liwei explained in amazement.

"Are you implying that his sword intent is capable of changing into anything he desires?" Yang Wudi stood up from his seat and asked in disbelief. For the first time, he lost his composure.

"Yang Wudi, calm down. It is true that his sword intent is capable of changing anything he wishes, but don't forget that the sword path is only a minor path.

His talent in cultivation is very low, and his achievement may be similar to mine." Yang Liwei calmed Yang Wudi and explained the flaws on Kai's part.

Yang Wudi calmed down after hearing the grand elder's explanation. He became jealous after hearing about Kai's sword intent, so he lost his composure.

"Yang Wudi, you need to have complete control over your emotions if you ever want to reach the peak. Also, don't care about that guy. Try to make him your subordinate; he will be very helpful." Yang Liwei advised Yang Wudi.

He did not talk about the sword moves that Kai used during the matches, as even he did not understand them.

'This guy is such a gem, but it is a pity his talent in cultivation is a little worse.' thought Yang Liwei. He did not have any descendants to continue his line in the Yang family; all of his sons were dead due to the internal scheme in the family.

He thought about making Kai his godson to continue his lineage in the family, but considering his low talent, he decided against the idea.

Kai did not know that the grand elder had completely seen him through his sword intent and also thought about making him his godson. He was now battling his next opponent in the other round.

The top 12 disciples had to battle against each other to select the top 6. Kai faced his opponent in the first battle. His talent is teleportation, and it is useless against Kai, who has soul perception and Ultimate Sense talent.

Kai can easily sense his opponent whenever he decides to sneak attack, so he wins the match without even breaking a sweat. Aman and Leiyin also won their match very easily, like Kai, their strength is very high compared to the opponent.

The next round for selecting the top 3 matches also happened on the same day. Kai still did not face Leiyin and Aman; his opponent this time was a little tricky.

His talent is speed. He can move very fast, but only in a straight line.

'He does have a disadvantage by moving in a straight line,' thought Kai in relief. The speed talent is very good in the early stages if it doesn't have that major flaw.

Kai used his heart control ability to make his blood flow faster inside his body. He also used phantom steps to move faster. Even though he used both his ability and technique, his speed is a little inferior compared to that of his opponent.

'I should turn this match into an endurance battle.' Kai thought. He wants to turn this match into an endurance battle, as he knows that his opponent will not be able to hold for a long period.

Every talent will consume a lot of energy for its operation, and Kai decided to use it to his advantage. He can restore stamina from the surrounding Qi by combining his Eternal Breathing ability and Endurance ability. (A/N - Both of these abilities were obtained during the organ tempering realm.)

Soon, their high-speed fight ended without any turning point. Kai won the match and qualified for the next round. Aman and Leiyin also won their respective matches easily. They also had to put some effort into defeating them.

"Today the matches are over. The semi-finals and finals will be held tomorrow, and the winner of this tournament will receive a personal gift from the grand elder." The elder in charge announced the reward.

Kai left the field after the announcement and decided to meet Anna to ask about the situation and plan.

"Anna, what happened about poisoning the holy son?" Kai met Anna in an isolated place and asked the question.

"Williams had done his job perfectly. He added that poison to every meal for a week." Anna replied about the situation.

"Are there any chances of getting caught or leaving any trace of evidence?" Kai asked.

"No, I asked him to double-check everything. If there was any trouble, he would be dead by now," Anna replied nonchalantly, without caring about Williams's life.

"Okay, make sure to interact with him often," Kai said and left the place. He did not want anything to go wrong with his plan, so he took everything extra carefully. If anything goes wrong, both his and his parent's lives will be in danger.

Kai did not want to put his parent's lives in danger for nothing.

While Kai was on the way to his room, someone blocked his path.

"Don't act like you are some kind of hero. I am the one and only protagonist of heaven, and I will crush you to prove this in tomorrow's battle." He said that and left the place.

From this tone alone, it was clear that the guy who blocked was Leiyin. It seems he got jealous of Kai having a large number of fans in the sect and decided to challenge him to a duel in the next round. He even boasted about defeating Kai.

'This guy has some serious mental problems' thought Kai. He had never seen such a stupid person in his entire life; he had not read about such a stupid character even in the novels that he read on Earth.

Kai ignored him and got into his room. After resting for the night, Kai arrived at Hell Field for the finals.

"The top 3 disciples will be selected today. Since there are only three participants, one lucky winner will directly play in the finals, and the remaining two will battle among themselves.

The winner among them will play in the finals." The elders today arrived early and announced the rules of the battle.

"Don't do this! Make it the best of three, make it the best of three." A lot of disciples raised their voices against this decision. They are here to see the action between the top talent, so they did not want to miss it. Since there will be only two battles according to the current rules,

"Silence," the grand elder suddenly appeared with Yang Wudi and silenced the crowd with his voice alone.

"There are no changes in the format. Luck is also a part of strength, so the finals will be held like this." The grand elder explained the reason for choosing a lucky person.
