Ye Chen was a participant of the Burning Sky Family. His recovery would naturally benefit Fen Tiangang.

Fen Tiangang nodded. “Just try your best. To be honest, I’m already surprised that you managed to defeat Zhong Hanming so easily. Aside from giving you medicine, I’m here to tell you the results of the first round and about the second round so that you can be mentally prepared.”

Shortly after, Fen Tiangang left Ye Chen’s room and stood outside the door. He stood still for a moment and sighed, muttering regretfully, “Kid Ye, you’re indeed very strong. If the Ancient Blood Protection wasn’t used, you might have won the competition. However, it seems that even you have no chance of winning.”

“Sigh, the Mystic Moon Sect will have to return in defeat.”

Ye Chen was in his room, looking at a name list. His eyes flickered slightly. On it were the names of the twenty-four participants who had advanced past the first round of the competition.

There were a total of ten true disciples from the Mystic Moon Sect. Excluding the one who had been kicked out by the Spirit Shadow Family, there were a total of nine people.

Among the nine, including himself, only five disciples had successfully advanced.

They were himself, Liu Ming, Long Xuan, Zhou Yan, and a true disciple called Song Tianning.

According to Fen Tiangang, a disciple of the Mystic Moon Sect called Chen Shaoyu was also an extremely powerful expert, and should have advanced as well.

However, his luck was really too bad. He encountered Sun Yang from the Holy Family, and was defeated in three moves. Moreover, it seemed like Sun Yang had not used his full strength at all.

As for Song Tianning, he was severely injured.

The person whose situation was the complete opposite of Chen Shaoyu’s was Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was not weak, but he was definitely no match for Chen Shaoyu. However, his luck was extremely good and he encountered an average opponent.

After a great battle between the two of them, Zhou Yan narrowly defeated his opponent!

Apart from that, Long Xuan represented the Cloud Family while Song Tianning represented the Holy Family.

In the first round of the competition, all five of the Holy Family’s competitors successfully advanced, and theirs was the only family to do so.

As for the Spirit Shadow Family, four of them had advanced. If not for Ye Chen, all five of their competitors would have advanced as well.

What made Ye Chen contemplate things was the strength of these competitors.

He felt that he had thought too lightly about the quota to enter the Heavenly Pool. This competition was much more difficult than he had imagined.

This was because the number of true disciples who had advanced to the next round had been too few. Five out of nine might seem like a good number to some, but these ten true disciples dispatched by the Mystic Moon Sect were the top ten true disciples selected from tens of thousands of disciples!

Those who could join the Mystic Moon Sect were geniuses!

Despite that, only five people advanced.

Ye Chen exhaled lightly and put away the name list. He took out the ointment given to him by Fen Tiangang and applied it on his left arm. A cool feeling surged through his left arm.

The spiritual energy that was originally sluggish in his left arm actually became active as the waves of coolness coursed through his arm.

Ye Chen’s face lit up. This ointment could indeed speed up the recovery of his left arm!

He immediately focused on refining the medicinal power of the ointment.

Now, what he had to do was to recover his strength. He believed that no matter how difficult the competition was, he would overcome it and emerge victorious.

The next morning, Ye Chen arrived at the competition venue with Fen Tiangang.

The burly old man stood on the stage and shouted, “All the contestants from the various families, come on up and draw lots!”

The twenty-four participants walked up to the repaired bluestone arena to draw lots.

Ye Chen looked at the jade plate in his hand. There was a number written on the jade token…

Twenty-four.

His facial expression darkened.

The format of the second round was similar to the first round, but there were still some differences. In this round, they were no longer exempted from fighting members of their own family, and they could challenge who they wanted.

Furthermore, the order of fighting would be decided by drawing lots. His number meant that he basically had no chance to challenge others. He could only accept challenges.

“The participant who drew number one, step forward,” the burly old man said after seeing that everyone had finished drawing their lots.

Zhou Yan walked over to the bluestone arena.

When everyone saw this, they were stunned. This fellow was incredibly lucky. He had gotten an easy opponent during the last round, and now he could pick who he wanted to fight from the entire roster of participants.

“Which contestant do you want to challenge?” asked the burly old man.

Zhou Yan’s expression seemed hesitant. After a moment of silence, he finally looked at Ye Chen with a dark expression. “I want to challenge the contestant from the Burning Sky Family, Ye Chen.”

As soon as he said this, the venue was instantly thrown into an uproar. In the first round of the competition, Ye Chen’s performance was extremely eye-catching. On the other hand, although Zhou Yan’s performance was also considered exciting, the strength he displayed was far inferior to Ye Chen’s.

Moreover, both of them were disciples of the Mystic Moon Sect. Why would Zhou Yan challenge Ye Chen?

Ye Chen looked at Zhou Yan playfully.

Zhou Yan squeezed out a mocking smile and looked at Ye Chen provocatively. “Do you dare to come on stage and allow your senior brother to teach you? Don’t be a coward and bring shame to our Mystic Moon Sect!”

“Aren’t you just doing what Zhao Ping told you?” Ye Chen asked with a smile as he slowly walked up to the arena.

“What?” Zhou Yan was a little puzzled.

Ye Chen stared into his eyes with a smile on his face. He enunciated each word clearly. “A dog is not my senior brother.”

Ye Chen did not lower his voice. Both the participants and the audience could hear him clearly.

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred, but he did not say anything. He did not dare to provoke Ye Chen.

Zhou Yan’s silence instantly attracted countless mocking laughter.

“Hey, that guy was called a dog and didn’t even dare to say anything?”

“Hahaha, senior brother? It seems like this fellow truly is a dog!”

“I like Ye Chen’s personality. Hahahaha.”

Zhou Yan’s expression was extremely gloomy. He knew that Ye Chen was very strong, so strong that it made him feel terrified.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to defeat Ye Chen, now was the best opportunity.

He believed that Ye Chen was injured in the battle with Zhong Hanming.

As for Zhou Yan, even if he challenged the weakest contestant present, he did not have the confidence to win. It was very likely that he would not be able to advance to the next round. If he was to get rid of Ye Chen during the trial, this would be his last chance.

Therefore, he could not anger Ye Chen. He was afraid that Ye Chen would go all out from the get-go, which meant that he would not even have a chance to make his move.

In any case, his earlier actions had been enough of a provocation. He would use his silence to get Ye Chen to look down on him, which would make the latter careless.

This would give him a higher chance of success. As long as he could achieve his goal, what did dignity matter?

He had sold his dignity long ago.

‘Die, Ye Chen!’

‘As long as you die, my position in Zhao Ping’s heart will rise!’

‘For my sake, just die!’

He believed that as long as he used that thing, even Ye Chen would die!
