C19

As the Magistrate announced the time of the match, Liu Xin flew off the stage upside down.

The magistrate who had just finished speaking looked at Yi Zhou in silence, the spectators were also dumbstruck.

What was going on? Didn't this Yi Zhou always dodge? How did he win in the end?

He tired Liu Xin out and then suddenly made a move. He was quite insidious.

Originally, watching this match was the most boring. Who would have thought that the final result would be like this? Reverse!

The judge looked deeply at Yi Zhou, wanting to declare that Yi Zhou had failed so he was naturally unable to say it out loud.

This Yi Zhou was definitely hiding his true strength, why did he have to wait until the end to obtain victory?

The judge, who could not come up with anything, could only announce: In this competition, Green Sun Academy's Yi Zhou has won.

Yi Zhou smiled and nodded to the judge, then walked down the stage.

What are you thinking about? Why did he have to wait until the end to win?

Si Qi walked over and asked. He could tell that Yi Zhou must have some sort of problem that had yet to be solved.

The matter of the Martial Dao, was about to get an idea. Yi Zhou explained.

He did not think about asking Si Qi or the Principal this question, because he had a faint feeling that it was very important to rely on the inspiration from the deductions he had obtained on the arena.

It was a unique perspective that transcended things, one that did not haunt one's mind.

While he was thinking, he could clearly see the circulation path of the cultivation technique. He could determine the advantages and disadvantages of it.

Yi Zhou understood that when he was imagining how the Spiritual Energy would operate, it was actually because a tiny amount of the Spiritual Energy in his body would actually circulate.

What he saw was what actually happened.

However, if he wanted to verify it himself, he would not be able to use such a small number of Spiritual Energy. If he failed the experiment, the damage he received would be even more severe.

Yi Zhou knew that what he was doing now was similar to the method of meditation he had heard from Di Xilun.

The Spiritual Energy that was used to personally verify the technique had been weakened to the extreme. Not only was it able to report the results back, but it was also not enough to cause the cultivation technique to go into disorder and cause one's cultivation to go berserk and suffer serious injuries.

This was a really good method. If he could maintain this state for a long time, even creating a new cultivation technique, Martial Skill, would not be difficult.

Yi Zhou decided to maintain this state as much as possible.

Yi Zhou's victory still caused a bit of a sensation.

Everyone had thought that he would definitely be eliminated in the first round. However, after hearing that Yi Zhou had already reached the first level of Qi Gathering, some people suddenly realised it. Knowing the process of Yi Zhou winning, he mocked Yi Zhou's despicable tactics even more.

It was actually a sneak attack after the opponent was exhausted.

Liu Xin wanted to add a joke to the competition. He had succeeded, but the main character had changed to him.

Liu Xin had originally wanted to end the battle quickly and let Yi Zhou rush back and forth, but in the end, the time of the match was completely up and he was even ambushed by Yi Zhou, becoming a laughingstock.

The matches continued. The sixty-four contestants who had won today would draw lots the next day to decide which group to split into.

On the second day, the number of contestants decreased to sixteen. Every stage also had four matches every day, and all sixty-four contestants would have one match.

This time, Yi Zhou's luck was very good, he actually met another opponent at the first level of Qi Gathering.

As a result, the battle lasted for another two hours. At the last moment, Yi Zhou continued to perform the turn of events.

On the third day, Yi Zhou once again met an opponent at the first level of the Qi Gathering stage, and obtained a reverse victory.

On the fourth day.

Stage 1, the second match of the morning. Yi Zhou from the Azure Sun Academy versus the Hidden Dragon Institute.

Junior Brother Yi Zhou, your luck is really enviable. Among the top 16, only the two of you are at the first level of the Qi Gathering stage, and you're still in the same group.

Si Qi looked at Yi Zhou as if he was looking at a monster.

These people have gone through so much trouble to get to the front, but they still couldn't avoid you.

Is that so? Then I am relieved.

Yi Zhou let out a light breath, feeling completely at ease.

With this, the dean's wish would come true.

Dean Du Wei hoped that someone from the Azure Sun Academy could enter the top eight, and now, they were in the top sixteen.

There's no problem for me to win. As long as Wu Jie doesn't meet any perverted contestants, there will be two from Azure Sun Academy in the top eight.

Yi Zhou was waiting to announce Wu Jie's opponent.

Wu Jie was an extremely talented student recruited by the Azure Sun Academy. Before the competition, he had already advanced to the 3rd level of the Qi Gathering stage, and he was recognized as one of the top contestants in the entire Azure Sun Academy.

No one would have thought that Yi Zhou was lucky enough to make it into the top sixteen.

Fortunately, Wu Jie also defeated a few Qi Condensation level players and successfully made it to 16th place. He did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

Stage 4, the first match of the morning, Wu Jie of the Azure Sun Academy versus Kong Han of the Iron Martial Academy.

The battle of Wu Jie finally began.

This was the worst case scenario. Si Qi's face turned serious. Wu Jie might lose this round.

Why? Is this Kong Han very powerful?

Yi Zhou had always been immersed in his meditation, other than defeating his opponent at the last moment, he barely cared about anything else.

His strength was probably not weaker than a Qi level 4.

This Kong Han, he definitely had the strength to get first place. His cultivation was also at the third level of Qi Condensation, but in truth, he was no weaker than a fourth level Qi Condensation cultivator.

Si Qi analyzed it for Yi Zhou.

That was a bit difficult. Yi Zhou could not help but nod his head.

Si Qi began to introduce Kong Han to his current situation.

Speaking of grouping up for this round, Yi Zhou's luck was the best. From the first round to the current fourth round, all the opponents were at the first level of Qi Condensation.

And the one with the worst luck, was Kong Han. The first round's contestants were also at the second level of Qi Condensation. From the second to the fourth round, all contestants were at the third level of Qi Condensation.

But it was because of this situation of the worst grouping that Kong Han gained the limelight.

In the previous three rounds, Kong Han's opponents had not been able to last more than ten moves, whether it was Qi Condensation Level 2 or Qi Condensation Level 3.

Within the same realm, he could actually defeat his opponent in ten moves. Most people had already determined that Kong Han could get first place.

Now that Wu Jie had met Kong Han, the odds were against him.

This Kong Han is actually this powerful! Yi Zhou could not help but admire his Inherent Skill.

Kong Han might only be older than him by two years, but he was already close to the fourth level of Qi Gathering. Furthermore, since Kong Han was from the Iron Martial Academy, he would definitely have abundant experience in actual combat.

Fortunately, I don't want to get first place, I only want a third Bone Ablutionary Dan. I hope that I can continue this good luck and not run into him.

Yi Zhou also viewed Kong Han as an opponent that he had to avoid at all costs.

In the first match of Wu Jie's competition, while Yi Zhou was trying his best to enter the illusory realm to meditate, he was also dividing his attention to observe Wu Jie's battle.

This works too!

Yi Zhou did not expect that his current situation would allow him to do two things at once, hence he took both sides into consideration.

There shouldn't be a problem with the Spiritual Energy's compression. The more Spiritual Energy gathered, the more powerful it would be.

Was it because of the release or the location of the gathered Spiritual Energy?

Gathering in the Dantian was obviously impossible as the gathered Spiritual Energy would cause relatively greater damage when passing through the meridians, hence it had to be placed in an easily released position.

He had to adjust the method to release it. How could it be released so quickly?

Yi Zhou continued to ponder about the problem. He felt that he was getting closer to success.

Ah!" He was defeated just like that!

Yi Zhou, who was in the middle of testing and testing his cultivation technique, suddenly felt that the stage which he was paying attention to, Wu Jie, already had a result.

He opened his eyes and saw Wu Jie already on the ground, blood flowing out of his mouth.

It's only been a few moves? Yi Zhou asked in surprise.

Three moves. Kong Han seemed to be giving it his all, different from before. Si Qi said from the side.

Could he have been hiding his strength in the past? Yi Zhou looked at Si Qi.

In the past, he would fight with his opponent for a few moves to see how strong his opponent was before obtaining victory. This time, he was going to go all out.

Si Qi continued to speak: "Junior Brother, if you win today, you will be able to enter the top eight, and have set a new record for our academy's competition in the Three Academies. If Junior Brother meets this Kong Han next, it would be best for you to just admit defeat.

Why? Even if I can't beat him, I can still learn from him. Yi Zhou asked, puzzled.

Sigh, if you were to meet Kong Han, I'm afraid that he would definitely deal a heavy blow. Si Qi said with a wry smile.

I don't have any grudges against him, do I? Why did he hit me so hard? Yi Zhou had never even seen Kong Han before, so he felt that there shouldn't be any enmity between them.

The enmity between you is only indirect. Si Qi laughed bitterly as he looked at Yi Zhou.

A grudge? Indirect? Yi Zhou shook his head. The intense meditations of the past few days had made him unable to differentiate between reality and fantasy.

Could it be that the person who came with He Zhen a few days ago was related to Kong Han?

Yi Zhou remembered a popinjay who had threatened his family that he taught at the entrance of the academy a lesson.

That's right, that person was Kong Han's little brother.

Yi Zhou rubbed his forehead, a little speechless. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

When he raised his head to look at Stage 4 again, he saw that Kong Han was looking at him expressionlessly, and the focus of his gaze was him.

This Kong Han, he definitely holds a grudge. He wants to deal with me. Yi Zhou already had an understanding in his heart.

Since that was the case, he might as well give it a try! A fearless thought rose in his mind.

Just then, Yi Zhou's competition was about to begin.

The second battle of the morning, Azure Sun Academy's Yi Zhou versus Hidden Dragon Institute's Zhu Guang.

The magistrate announced loudly.

Yi Zhou slowly walked up the stage and looked at his opponent.

I've heard that your tactics are very despicable, called strenuous tactics. I want to say, this is no use to me.

I've already killed the first few level 2 Qi Condensation cultivators. For a level 1 Qi Condensation cultivator like you, if you were to rely on your luck and enter your current ranking by relying on your movement technique, you would definitely be killed by me. Zhu Guang said confidently.
