Chapter 1166: Chapter 1164: Battling for the Title of Champion

”Why? Do you think I’m no match for him, and losing would bring shame upon you?”

Xiao Yifeng’s gaze fell upon Dongfang Yanran.

”Xuanyuan Hong broke through to the Celestial Bings Realm a long time ago. He is also the one with the highest martial talent and combat potential among the young generation of the Xuanyuan Clan, his combat power is unfathomable.”

”If you fight against him, he will definitely not show any mercy and will surely aim to kill you completely, even though killing is not permitted in the Martial Arts Competition.”

”It is precisely for your safety that I suggest this course of action. That way, you can ensure your own survival.”

Dongfang Yanran spoke.

”Thank you for your concern, but I, Xiao Yifeng, have never been one to turn away from a fight. There may be many in this world capable of killing me, but Xuanyuan Hong is definitely not one of them. Miss Dongfang need not worry so much; I will be fine.”

Xiao Yifeng said with an indifferent tone.

”Well, I hope you’ll be all right,” Dongfang Yanran said, her gaze flickering before she took her leave.

”Little Feng, your fiancée sure doesn’t have much confidence in you,” Yan Ruyu said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yifeng.

”That’s because she hasn’t witnessed my true capabilities!”

Xiao Yifeng replied with a light smile.

”Brother Xiao, even the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Family is your fiancée, you’re really something! When will this little monk find his true love?”

Qijie scurried next to Xiao Yifeng, his face full of envy.

”You little monk, what do you need true love for? Go read your scriptures,” Xiao Yifeng countered with a curled lip, patting Qijie’s bald head.

At that moment, Mo Canghai, Sect Leader of the Tian Mountain Sect, and a group of top fighters from the Martial Arts World arrived.

”Ladies and gentlemen, today is the second day of the Martial Arts Congress and the start of the second round. Today’s matches will select twenty from the hundred who advanced in the first round to proceed to the third round. They will compete for the final top ten positions.”

Mo Canghai addressed the crowd.

”Only by entering the top twenty will you have the chance to fight for the top ten and obtain those rewards, so I hope you all will do your utmost!”

Mo Canghai encouraged them and continued: ”Now I declare the rules for the second round. Actually, the rules for this round are quite simple. You all see the twenty arenas in front of you, right? The rule for this round is to seize the position of the arena lord.”

”A total of half a Double hours. After half a Double hours, whoever stands as the champion on this stage can advance to the third round of the competition. During the struggle, you can use any weapons, and moreover, as discussed by me and several Sect Leaders.”

”In order to make this competition more realistic, and to ensure that everyone can fully display their strength without reservation affecting their performance, there are no restrictions on casualties in this round. That is to say, if you strike too hard and kill or cripple your opponent, it will not matter.”

”Of course, if anyone worries about getting injured or encountering any accidents during the competition, you can withdraw now. Moreover, if anyone gets injured during the competition, we will intervene and provide treatment in time. Now, is there anyone who wishes to withdraw?”

Upon hearing Mo Canghai’s words, several of the one hundred qualifying members, whose eyes were flickering, were only in the late stage of Entering Saint Realm or at the peak of Entering Saint Realm. Although they might be considered quite powerful and be called prodigies on ordinary days, at this very moment, among these hundred people, their strength was nothing remarkable. Among these combatants, there were a bunch of those at the Great Perfection of the Saint Realm and the Half-Step Celestial Realm, and once the battle began, without regard for life and death, no one knew what their own outcome would be.

They had finally achieved such formidable strength and naturally did not want to die just like that. However, it was also extremely difficult for them to give up so easily since the Martial Arts Tournament was a tremendous honor for them.

Eventually, only five members at the late stage of Entering Saint Realm gave up this round of competition and were eliminated in advance. The remaining ninety-five continued.

Moreover, after hearing the rule of no casualty restrictions, many people’s eyes reflected a sly glint, and some ideas began to form in their minds.

”Good. Five participants have been eliminated in advance. Now, the second round of the competition officially starts. The countdown is set for half a Double hours. As soon as the Double hours are up, whoever occupies the twenty platforms as the champion can advance to the next round to fight for a place among the top ten of the Martial Arts Tournament!”

After Mo Canghai spoke, the competition began.

Instantly, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense. Everyone’s gaze was fixated on the ninety-five participants, as they speculated who would be the champions of the last twenty platforms.

However, at this moment, the participants had yet to take action, all watching each other. Now, whoever made the first move to seize a platform would inevitably be ganged up on by the others, which was greatly disadvantageous for them.

But it did not take long before someone made a move. It was Xuanyuan Hong, the Young Clan Leader of the Xuanyuan Clan. With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked straight toward the first platform and leisurely ascended it, standing quietly on top.

Others who saw this flickered in their eyes but did not rush over to fight him for the platform. After all, he was the Young Clan Leader of the Xuanyuan Clan.

The mere mention of Xuanyuan Clan as The Number One Clan of the Hidden World made them extremely wary, and the mysterious aura around Xuanyuan Hong made them even more reluctant to act against him rashly.

Subsequently, many participants could not hold back any longer and began to take action, vying for the other nineteen platforms.

Among them, Xiao Yifeng, Yan Ruyu, Qijie, Tong Yu of Dragon Soul, Luo Qianyu, Mu Lishang, along with young masters from several major Hidden World Clans, had not taken any action but were quietly watching.

Bang bang bang!

At that moment, a fiercely intense battle erupted on those nineteen platforms. All the fighters were using their unique skills and weapons, unleashing terrifying powers.

Continuously, people were blasted away. As expected, except for Xuanyuan Hong, the first batch to seize platforms were all besieged and ended up being blown away, sustaining grave injuries. Some were even instantly killed, leaving no remains.

The situation of the battle was incredibly intense. The members of the Sect Forces present were quietly observing the twenty platforms, with Sect Masters, Sect Leaders, and others whose disciples were contending for the platforms holding their breath.

Their faces were filled with tension and worry, afraid that their Sect disciples would encounter misfortune. Those participating in the competition could all be considered prized genius disciples stored away by the major Sects, and losing even one was a tremendous loss.
