C102

According to the rankings, everyone in the second round would receive a number. Putting them together, they would draw a lot, and the number drawn would be the opponent of this round.

"So unlucky, my opponent was actually ranked in the top 50!"

"You're still okay, I actually got into the top ten!"

"In my opinion, this is nothing. If we could get the Heavenly Girl s from Lin Family, that would be called bad luck!"

In the drawing of lots, there were people who were happy and others who were sad.

For those who were ranked lower, their chances of winning would undoubtedly not be high if they drew a nomination. However, those who had a bitter expression on their face were the same kind of people.

As for those opponents who were ranked lower than him, they rejoiced endlessly. At the very least, they didn't need to be eliminated in the first round.

"Xiao Yu, who did you get?" Qin Yuxuan picked his opponent and looked for Xiao Yu in confusion.

"It's someone I don't know. He's in the top one hundred." Xiao Yu laughed, to him, the truth was that no matter who he hit, it would be the same.

"I also got below rank 100. I should be able to win!" Qin Yuxuan revealed a smile. In terms of strength, she was not considered the best of the bunch.

"You are a Talisman Master, so you can use Talisman s in battles. As long as you use them well, winning should not be too difficult." Xiao Yu smiled as he comforted her.

Although the Talisman Master's combat power was not high, it was still superior to countless Talisman, with a myriad of changes occurring everywhere. No one knew what effects the next Talisman would have, whether it would attack or defend.

"Alright, after the lots are drawn, the people at the bottom of the ranking list will compete. After the first round, the winner will proceed to the next round!" This time, Academician Liu did not appear again. Instead, a disciple of Sky Blue Martial Academy announced the rules.

Xiao Yu was ranked first. According to these rules, he should be the last one to participate.

His opponent was ranked over a hundred, so those ranked lower would have to compete first. After the rankings were concluded, it would be his turn.

Following the start of the competition, Xiao Yu walked directly to the side and accompanied Lin Yurou to wait quietly by his side.

Lin Yurou smiled at him, she did not ask him how confident he was in winning, she had always been very considerate of Xiao Yu, and did not want to give him too much pressure, so from the start of the selection till now, she had never asked Xiao Yu about anything related to the selection.

The competition started at the same time in all ten arenas. Even those who knew they had no chance of entering the top hundred put forth great effort in the competition.

This was just like a huge stage. If one's performance was outstanding enough, even if one was unable to enter the Sky Blue Martial Academy, they would still be valued highly within their own clan.

As such, the competition had been extremely exciting to watch. Even though the cultivation of the contenders weren't that high, the battles were still extremely intense.

Xiao Yu watched them for a while, then did not continue watching, and started chatting with Lin Yurou.

In the first round of the competition, there were practically no strong exchanges, it happened extremely quickly. Even Qin Yuxuan and Ye Wenxuan had smoothly won a round, successfully entering the next round.

"Next group, Xiao Yu against Shen Yuan."

After one round of competition ended, the disciples of Sky Blue Martial Academy called out Xiao Yu's name.

"Mother, I'm going!" Xiao Yu said to Lin Yurou.

"Mm, go ahead." Lin Yurou smiled as he looked at him. Although he did not say much, the trust and encouragement in his eyes explained everything.

This was her son. Regardless of the outcome, she would silently support him from behind.

"Xiao Yu is up!"

"How much do you think he will have? Did you really get the points from cheating in the first round? "

"It's hard to say. But now that I can see him make a move, I'll soon know just how strong he is!"

"According to what I said, his score was most likely cheating. How could someone from the Spirit Origin Stage kill a Common Tier High Rank Odd Beast?"

As Xiao Yu ascended the stage, almost everyone's gaze concentrated on the area around him.

Originally, every one of the ten arenas had people watching them, but now, almost everyone had gathered around.

As the champion of the first round, Xiao Yu had already made everyone pay close attention to him. Just how much strength he had and whether or not he had really obtained the points in the first round was something everyone wanted to know.

It could be said that in this competition, other than the Lin Family and Heavenly Girl Lin Xuehan, Xiao Yu's battle was the one that people looked forward to the most.

Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Xiao Yu slowly walked onto the stage, and calmly looked at the opponent in front of him.

Shen Yuan? This person was very young, and looked around the same age as Xiao Yu. He looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.

Being the focus of so many people and facing the first opponent of the first round, Xiao Yu, Shen Yuan felt a little apprehensive.

If his opponent was Lin Xuehan, he would definitely admit defeat, because he was definitely not his opponent. But his opponent was Xiao Yu, so he had a sliver of hope in his heart. If Xiao Yu had really cheated in the first round, then he might even have a chance of winning.

"Elder Brother Xiao, little brother Shen Yuan, please advise!" Although Shen Yuan was already sweating profusely from nervousness, he did not forget to clasp his fist towards Xiao Yu.

"Sure!" Xiao Yu nodded.

Seeing that, the Sky Blue Martial Academy disciple in charge of the referee knew that the two were ready, and said: "One side will admit defeat or lose the ability to fight again as the outcome of the competition is decided. During the process, no one is allowed to intentionally kill themselves, if you are clear about this, the competition will immediately begin!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yu and Shen Yuan nodded at the same time.

"Alright, then let the competition begin!" The Skysword Sect disciple waved his hand and retreated to the side at the same time, leaving the two of them in the arena.

"Elder Brother Xiao, please!" Shen Yuan did not know of Xiao Yu's true strength, so he did not dare take action, and assumed a defensive stance.

"Please!" Xiao Yu replied. Seeing that Shen Yuan did not plan to attack first, he did not hesitate and walked up to give him a palm.

This Shen Yuan, his strength could not be considered strong. Like Xiao Yu, he only had Sixth Cycle of Spirit Origin Stage cultivation and how could Xiao Yu's intelligence be different from ordinary people. Hence, he did not use any special methods.

His palm was calm and ordinary, it looked nothing out of the ordinary, but it was still aimed straight at Shen Yuan, without any mysteriousness.

Seeing Xiao Yu make his move, everyone watching had a strange expression on their faces. Could it be that Xiao Yu had really relied on cheating before, and his palm strike was just too ordinary!

Even Shen Yuan was surprised by Xiao Yu's palm strike. He could not see anything extraordinary about it.

Seeing that, he no longer hesitated, stood up straight and threw a punch back at Xiao Yu.

"Bam!"

One palm!

This palm that seemed extremely ordinary and ordinary was actually able to cause Shen Yuan's body to continuously retreat, almost reaching the edge of the arena.

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face kept changing, as if he was shocked, but also as if he was hesitating.

In the end, he revealed a bitter smile and said, "Elder Brother Xiao, I admit defeat!"

The crowd went into an uproar!

What was going on? How could Shen Yuan admit defeat after just one palm? Even though this palm seemed to be undefeatable, Xiao Yu did not injure him, so he should not have admitted defeat!

Many people had a feeling that they couldn't understand what was going on. Only the few big shots watching from afar had strange looks in their eyes.
