The final starts at 2:29

  After Liu Lin displayed the secret method to stimulate potential, he immediately turned the disadvantage around and instead beat Liu Qing back in a row. As long as Liu Lin can make an effort to persist, he will absolutely be able to achieve the final victory.

  Able to bring down the power of three stars, this is already the limit that Liu Qing can achieve now, so what he can do now is to persist. He believes that Liu Lin's current strength must be because he has used a secret method to stimulate his potential, and he understands that this secret method can only be used for a short time, as long as he persists, when Liu Lin's strength is exhausted, victory will certainly belong to himself.

  Time passed bit by bit, and Liu Qing's endurance was extremely difficult. Every minute and every second were a great test for him. Fortunately, with the blessing of the three-star power, he still persisted stubbornly. After a short while, Liu Lin's secret method began to be unsustainable, and his attacks gradually weakened.

  Liu Lin's face fell, and he stopped his attack. He let out a sigh and said, "I've been preparing for six years, but I didn't expect not only to fail to get the last spot, but also to not even make it into the top five. Xiao Qing, you're stronger than me."

  Liu Qing was always calm and composed, but now seeing Liu Lin's desolate appearance, for a moment, he didn't know what to say to comfort him.

  Then several others took up the challenge, but none succeeded. Not even one could last for a cup of tea time, and all were easily eliminated in just three moves or less.

  Thus, the top five of the Liu family martial arts competition have been decided, and they are: Liu Yan, Liu Wei, Liu Hui, Liu Bo, and Liu Qing.

  These few people will hold a challenge match tomorrow to decide the final ranking.

  After the game ended that day, except for the five people who still had a game tomorrow, everyone else had no more tasks and began to gather in twos and threes to discuss today's game.

  "It's really unexpected, Liu Qing can enter the top five is already surprising enough, after all he is a renowned second-rate talent and his cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refining. But Xiao Bo actually entering the top five as well, it's truly hard to accept!" Liu Jian sighed.

  "Yes, I heard that Liu Bo was almost unable to cultivate due to meridian blockage a few months ago, and his realm was only at the third layer of Qi Refining. Who would have thought that in just a short span of a few months, he has already reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining? This is truly unbelievable." Liu Ming felt a deep sense of empathy.

  "It's already unimaginable how fast he's progressing, and now he's even consecutively defeating Qi Refining Eighth Layer and Ninth Layer cultivators. This kind of talent is probably something even Liu Yan can't compare to." Liu Hai was filled with envy.

  "I think so too. Liu Bo used to have trouble cultivating his skills due to stagnant meridians, which slowed down his progress in the martial realm. However, I've heard that his comprehension of martial arts is astonishing, and many people seek his guidance on techniques. Now that he's fully recovered from his illness, his skills are advancing rapidly, and his mastery of techniques is extremely profound, especially his footwork, which is truly remarkable. He's undoubtedly the top expert in the realm of Qi cultivation when it comes to footwork, and even if he encounters someone with significantly more power, he can still hold his own with his footwork." Liu Jian was deeply impressed by Liu Bo's footwork.

  "So I think Liu Bo will continue to create miracles with his skills in tomorrow's game, at least he can still advance two more places and should be able to enter the top three." Liu Ming was very certain about his guess.

  "It's possible, but it won't be easy. Liu Yan getting first place is a given, but second and third are hard to say. Wei Ge and Hui Jie are both very strong, and it's hard to say who's more formidable. Liu Bo's strength can't compare to theirs, but he won against Hong Ge with his technique, so it's hard to say if he'll continue to win in the next matches. As for Liu Qing, tomorrow's match is likely to be his last, with the smallest chance of winning."

  "I think Liu Qing is also very powerful. If we're talking about true strength, he should be above Liu Bo. Why don't you think highly of him?" Liu Ming asked.

  "Haven't you discovered that Liu Qingyin's Stellar Descent has a small flaw? With Wei Ge and Hui Jie's astuteness, they must have already found out through today's match and can easily make targeted preparations." Liu Hai retorted.

  "What's wrong? I didn't notice anything." Liu Ming was puzzled.

  "Your observation skills are still lacking, it's already very obvious. The flaw is in the process of Liu Qing's Starfall, which takes a long time and is also done one by one, gradually falling. To counter this flaw, as long as you exhibit strength comparable to his at the beginning, he won't have the chance to fall the second or third star." Liu Hai explained patiently.

  "Thinking carefully about Liu Qing's previous trial, it was indeed like that. He must have not been in the realm of inducing the power of the stars for a long time, and it's clear that he's not proficient enough. If he could enter this realm earlier, the outcome would be hard to say." Liu Ming suddenly realized.

  All the way, there were various speculations and discussions, Liu Bo did not communicate with anyone, returned to his own Xiangxiang Academy alone, digesting all the actual experiences and insights of the day, and hurriedly practiced.

  Half a day and one night's time, although the progress in cultivation is hard to see changes, but Liu Bo's understanding of the "Cloud Drifting Misty" body technique has deepened greatly. Through today's practice and observation, his understanding of water quality has gained some insights, and he has incorporated these insights into his body technique, making it make significant progress. He is now fully displaying the "Cloud Drifting Misty", and the effect of a first-class martial skill is only one line away, as long as he has another epiphany, his body technique will thoroughly enter the ranks of first-class martial skills at any time.

  His understanding of "Cloud Drifting and Fog Surrounding" has far surpassed the level of martial skills like "Ice Flame Sword Finger", second only to "Sky Breaking Strike" and "Water Shield Eighteen Styles". Once "Cloud Drifting and Fog Surrounding" reaches the ultimate first-rate realm, Liu Bo's strength will be greatly enhanced.

  "Actual combat is indeed the most effective way to improve martial skills. Having only experienced a few matches, I've already achieved such great results in my footwork; if I could experience more life-or-death battles, I'm sure I'll have an even greater breakthrough. It seems that after this family martial arts performance ends, I should also go out and gain some experience. From the memories I obtained, I know that due to physical reasons, I've never left the Great Ridge City in all these years; Liu Bo before possessing my body would often envy and look forward to his older brothers going out on trips. Now that I have the ability to go out, I should fulfill my predecessor's wish." The idea of going out to gain experience was born in Liu Bo's mind.

  The last day of the finals, the Liu family almost made a full appearance, and the martial arts arena was surrounded by a sea of people.

  The top three matches are challenge matches, with five people drawing lots first to determine their order of appearance.

  Liu Hui drew first place, Liu Yan drew second place, Liu Bo drew third place, Liu Wei drew fourth place, and Liu Qing drew fifth place.

  Liu Qing and Liu Wei are about to launch a challenge and impact the top three positions.
