Wu Liyan didn’t only look tough with a big broadsword in her hand. She fought even tougher.
Her fighting style was very rough and simple. Perhaps because the opponent’s strength was quite different from hers, so she simply swung her big broadsword and chopped it several times, directly chopping the opponent off the stage. How long did it take?
The opponent soon fell off the stage. Wu Liyan casually put her big broadsword on her shoulder and tossed his short hair.
Many female cultivators beside the arena screamed excitedly. “So cool. Senior Sister Wu is so cool.”
Feng Ming had reason to suspect that they would all shout that they wanted to give birth to a baby for Senior Sister Wu. These female cultivators were all Wu Liyan’s fans.
Ji Yuan muttered from the stands, “This woman doesn’t know how to restrain herself. It is a pity that she is always second place, and she is always defeated by Zong Yupao.”
Qiu Yi thought about it. “Senior Sister Wu is actually quite handsome.”
He wouldn’t comment on anything else since the person who defeated Wu Liyan and made her always second place was his own uncle.
Ji Yuan was unhappy. “How is she handsome? Is she as handsome as me?”
Qiu Yi finally understood why Senior Brother Ji spoke sourly and hurriedly made up for it. “Senior Brother Ji is more handsome than Senior Sister Wu.”
Ji Yuan finally smiled. “That is about right. In any case, this woman likes to be in the limelight, but this time, someone is more in the limelight than her.”
He was looking forward to the fight between Bai Qiaomo, Wu Liyan and Zong Yupao. It wasn’t known if Bai Qiaomo could break Wu Liyan’s position as eternal second place.
Wu Liyan fought quickly and the battles on the other stages were still going on. Next, Feng Ming focused on the fight between Qin Jian and his opponent.
Feng Ming found that Bai Qiaomo’s attitude toward Qin Jian was a bit different. The reason must be due to his previous life.
Qin Jian was also a cultivator who used a dao. His dao was much more delicate compared to Wu Liyan’s exaggerated one.
However, with Feng Ming’s eyesight, he could see that Qin Jin’s dao was full of sharpness and determination. He moved forward bravely and never retreated.
A few minutes later, Qin Jian’s opponent was defeated and knocked off the stage. Qin Jian won and successfully entered the next round of the competition.
The third round was even more eye-catching, because the top champion Zong Yupao finally appeared on the stage. News of his identity as the eighteenth prince also spread among the participants.
The participant, unfortunate enough to be drawn as Zong Yupao’s opponent, was under great pressure and felt bitter in his heart. Why was his luck so bad that he drew the person who was most likely to win the championship?
He watched Wu Liyan’s battle just now. The strength of Wu Liyan’s opponent wasn’t much different from his, but he was knocked off the stage by Wu Liyan soon after the battle started.
Wu Liyan wasn’t Zong Yupao’s opponent, so how many seconds could he hold on?
This person was straightforward. After he got on the stage and the referee announced the start of the match, he waved his hand and shouted to give up.
Many audience members booed. They were originally prepared to watch Zong Yupao’s moves, but their expectations were in vain.
Feng Ming was also disappointed, but he could understand this participant.
Feng Ming said to Bai Qiaomo, “The duel between you and Zong Yupao must be the most interesting. You both use spears, so it depends on who is better.”
Bai Qiaomo could see that Feng Ming was looking forward to the fight between him and Zong Yupao, so he said, “I won’t let Junior Brother Ming down and you won’t lose your yuan crystals.”
Feng Ming chuckled. He didn’t think about the yuan crystals he spent at this time. Of course, it would be better if Brother Bai could win the championship. That was more than 200 million yuan crystals.
It was okay if he didn’t think about it. Once he thought about it, his position was very firm. If they didn’t win the championship, he would lose only 10 million yuan crystals. If they won, he would earn more than 200 million.
He clenched his fists and told Bai Qiaomo, “You must defeat everyone and win the championship of the martial arts competition.”
Bai Qiaomo smiled and agreed.
Apart from Zong Yupao’s side, who was automatically promoted due to his opponent admitting defeat, the battles on the other nine arenas were in full swing.
In order to successfully advance, everyone fought very hard, especially the cultivators from outside. They wanted to work hard to win a better ranking, rather than being suppressed by the Imperial Academy every time.
This time, the actions of Gong Liquan’s group from the Imperial Academy might be aimed at Bai Qiaomo, but it also made the players from other forces very annoyed.
In fact, in previous leagues, the Imperial Academy had done the same thing. However, not everyone could be like Bai Qiaomo, who stuck to it to the end and made the opponent lose face.
In one arena, one of the players was from the Imperial Academy. The two of them fought for half an hour and couldn’t determine the winner. The battle lasted for a further half an hour.
The result was a bit tragic. Both sides were injured. Finally, the referee announced that the two of them had tied and both advanced.
But both of them were seriously injured. It was impossible to recover in just a few days and go on stage to fight again.
In other words, both of them might’ve advanced but they actually gave up the subsequent matches.
The two of them were carried off the stage by their respective companions. After professionals checked their injuries, they announced that they would give up the following draw and competition.
On behalf of Sihong Academy, Pei Yingmin went to see the other participant to see if he was injured and if he needed help.
Not long after, he came back and said that even though the participant’s injury was relatively serious, it didn’t hurt his foundation. He just needed time to recuperate.
“Now there are only 29 people left to draw lots. In this round, there will definitely be one bye. I don’t know who this good fortune will fall on.”
Pei Yingmin had just finished saying this when the referee asked the winning participants to come on stage to draw lots and determine their opponent in the next round.
Pei Yingmin didn’t expect that the luck of this bye would fall on them. The person who got this good luck turned out to be Yu Bin.
Yu Bin had a hard time in the previous match, but in the end, he defeated his opponent by a small amount and became the one who won.
Yu Bin thought his competition would finally end in this round. He was just happy to be able to squeeze into the end of the top 30.
Now the result of the draw told him he had a chance to squeeze into the top 15. Who made him so lucky?
The competition venue was buzzing the moment this result was announced. Many people knew this person called Yu Bin. Who made him gain the champion position from Bai Qiaomo without any effort?
Who didn’t envy his luck at being picked casually by Bai Qiaomo?
Now seeing that he received a bye, the audience in the stands couldn’t help talking about it. This guy’s luck wasn’t ordinary.
Before, it was Bai Qiaomo who gave up. Then what about now?
Looking back, he was also lucky to be picked casually by Bai Qiaomo. Otherwise, why did Bai Qiaomo point to him instead of others?
Yu Bin himself was dumbfounded. Pei Yingmin was also a bit surprised and Feng Ming looked at him doubtfully.
Feng Ming decided to pay more attention to this guy called Yu Bin in the future.
Bai Qiaomo just laughed, patted Yu Bin and prepared to go on stage to fight.
After being dumbfounded, Yu Bin was very happy. He waved at Bai Qiaomo and shouted, “Brother Bai, you will definitely advance. I will cheer for you.”
Some audience members couldn’t stand it and were jealous of this guy’s luck. “Look at him. He is laughing like a big fool.”
“Don’t be bitter. This big fool is just lucky. Luck has fallen on him twice, so just ask if you can accept it.”
Ji Yuan couldn’t help looking at Yu Bin again. Even he envied Yu Bin. Luck was something that couldn’t be seen or touched, but everyone wanted to have it.
Originally, he was a relatively ordinary contestant. If there were no such accidents, not many people would remember his name after the competition.
Now it was different. More and more people would know that there was such a lucky guy.
Feng Ming turned his head and happened to see Ji Yuan’s envious expression. He felt sympathy for Ji Yuan again. Compared with Yu Bin, Ji Yuan was a person with very bad luck.
Well, let’s wait until the competition was over.
Bai Qiaomo was still in the first batch to play. This time, his opponent was a disciple from the Imperial Academy. After all, the Imperial Academy had the most people who qualified. It wasn’t surprising to meet such an opponent.
The opponent’s cultivation was in the late stage of the essence liquid realm, the same as Bai Qiaomo. However, he belonged to the ordinary late stage essence liquid realm, while Bai Qiaomo had the ability to challenge across levels.
Therefore, the two sides fought on the stage for less than ten minutes before the opponent was sent off the stage by Bai Qiaomo. Bai Qiaomo successfully advanced again.
Everyone could see that Bai Qiaomo was one of the people who advanced relatively easily. In his current state, he should be able to fight the next battle immediately. It wasn’t known how far he could go.
Wu Liyan’s opponent was also in the late stage of the essence liquid realm. This time, she chopped more than ten times in a row before forcing the opponent off the stage. This girl was very fierce.
Everyone’s eyes gathered on Zong Yupao when he came on the stage again. This time, his opponent didn’t give up.
One of them used a sword and the other held a spear. Once the referee announced they could start, the fight between the two of them began.
Since Bai Qiaomo and Zong Yupao both used a spear, it was hard not to compare them. It seemed that the two of them might compete on the same stage in the end, and the duel at that time would definitely be more exciting.
Feng Ming could finally see Zong Yupao fighting so he watched it very seriously. Bai Qiaomo would never underestimate his opponents. He had seen many photo stones of Zong Yupao’s battles collected by Pei Yingmin.
Just like the battle scenes in the photo stones, Zong Yupao’s fighting style was open with an unstoppable sharpness.
This was also related to his birth. He was a prince. Due to his outstanding talent, he was valued by the emperor and became the focus of training. He enjoyed the best conditions and education.
In such a situation, he disdained to play tricks.
Bai Qiaomo could judge after watching for a while. “This Zong Yupao is indeed not simple. There is a lot of murderous aura in his spearmanship. He has restrained himself in the arena, but he should’ve trained on the battlefield.”
Feng Ming was surprised. “He actually ran to the battlefield?”
Bai Qiaomo nodded. He could judge that the murderous aura had been trained in this way. “It might be that he entered the Iron Armored Army and participated in the fight against desolate beasts.”
Such a battle wasn’t facing a few or dozens of desolate beasts, but probably hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands.
