"Sorry, I was delayed." Just when everyone thought that Chen Feng would really not come, Chen Feng's figure slowly walked over from outside the crowd. He looked at the bewildered and uncertain Fiery Blossom and said with a smile, "I've let you down."
While he was speaking, Chen Feng had already arrived in front of everyone.
Seeing Chen Feng's arrival, Lie Ku Hua's face turned ugly, and between his brows, he could vaguely feel a murderous intent.
However, thinking about the previous incident, he immediately forced himself to redeem himself and suppress the feelings in his heart.
However, he naturally couldn't show any weakness with his words. "Brat, don't let me meet you in the tournament. "For the second round of the competition, victory and defeat are the only things to be desired. It doesn't matter whether one is dead or alive!"
"That's only natural. Don't let me meet you. Otherwise, your ending will be too miserable." Chen Feng said with a smile, as if he did not put Hua Li in his eyes at all.
"Brat, don't be so glib!" Being provoked by Chen Feng, Fiery Blossom flew into a rage.
"Please get on the stage quickly, otherwise, you said you have lost your qualifications to compete!" On the high platform, the judge spoke again. However, his voice sounded a little impatient now.
"You guys wait for me, I'll be right back!"
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he moved his body and in the next moment, his figure appeared beside the referee.
"Senior, I have been delayed on some matters. I hope that you can forgive me..." Chen Feng respectfully cupped his hands towards the referee.
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Seeing that Chen Feng was so polite, the referee did not put on an expression. He immediately waved his hand and said in a bad mood, "Quickly extract the number."
Chen Feng followed his instructions and reached into the box.
When his hand reached into the box, Chen Feng felt a faintly discernible wave enveloping the box. This fluctuation only had one small use. It was to block the probing of the Spirit power and prevent the contestant from cheating when he drew the number again.
Although it was called drawing a number, there was actually only one number ball left in the box. Chen Feng had no choice at all.
Taking out the number from the chest, a bright number appeared before Chen Feng's eyes.
Number fifty-three.
This was the number of Chen Feng in the second round.
The second round was a knockout round, with numbers matching head to tail. For example, competitions number one and one hundred, and competitions number two and ninety-nine. The opponent's strength was entirely dependent on the number he drew. It could be said that it was relatively fair.
Chen Feng was number fifty-three. His opponent should be a player who held the number forty-eight ball.
After signalling to the referee, Chen Feng's body moved and he returned to the side of the crowd.
"Chen Feng, what number are you?" Just as Chen Feng stabilized his body, Wen Chen came forward and asked.
It would not be a pleasant thing if they bumped into each other.
"Number fifty-three." Chen Feng waved the number ball in his hand.
Instantly, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, none of them bumped into each other.
However, at this moment, a wild laughter suddenly rang out, "Hahaha, the heavens are truly on my side!"
He saw that Hua Li, who had never left, was rolling back and forth in laughter with an excited expression on his face.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, wondering what kind of mental state he was in.
"Brat, your luck is really good. You met me in the first round." As he spoke, a number ball appeared in his hand and he began to play with it.
"Huh?" Seeing his number, everyone's expressions changed. They saw that number forty-eight was written on the number.
In other words, Chen Feng's first match would be a fierce one.
"Chen Feng, can you do it?"
Meng Qiu Ling leaned towards Chen Feng and asked in a low voice.
"Can you do it?" Chen Feng was stunned. Then, a malicious smile appeared on his face. "Of course I can. Do you want to try?"
Meng Qiu Ling did not understand what was going on. Her eyes became dazed for a moment, but when she saw the gazes from the surrounding men that were filled with a faint smile, she immediately knew that there was nothing good in Chen Feng's words.
Immediately, the little girl became a female tyrannosaur. Chen Feng's waist had received inhuman treatment, making him want to die for a while.
"Damn it!" When Liao Hua saw that Chen Feng and the others did not seem to pay any attention to him, he became even more furious. He decided ruthlessly in his heart that he would make Chen Feng suffer a fate worse than death!
"Dong, dong, dong …"
A series of loud drum beats sounded out, and the crowd of people immediately became excited.
The second round of the Azure Province competition was finally about to begin!
The host stood on the stage and raised his arms as he shouted, "Everyone, the second round of the competition is about to begin. Let us wait and see.
Below the stage, everyone's faces were filled with anticipation.
This Azure Province competition was basically a competition between the most powerful experts in the younger generation of the Azure Province. This kind of grand gathering was only seen once every ten years.
"Next, let's welcome the contestants for the first match, # 1 and # 100!"
Amidst the host's loud shout, two figures suddenly jumped onto the arena.
As they leapt onto the arena, the cultivators guarding it from all sides surged their true energy. A huge net of light rose from the side of the arena, forming a protective barrier that surrounded the arena.
A competition between cultivators was often earth-shattering. Not only could this barrier prevent the aftermath of a cultivator's attack from scattering out of the arena, it could also prevent outsiders from interfering with the competition.
"During the match, regardless of life or death, if one of the competitors admits defeat, the other participant wins, and the opponent is not allowed to continue attacking!"
The host read aloud the rules of the competition. After a few simple rules, he solemnly said, "Then, let the match begin!"
As the host's voice faded, the two cultivators almost simultaneously thought of attacking each other.
Everyone wanted to seize the initiative and control the advantage in their own hands.
The two opponents were both in the intermediate stage of the Body Refinement Realm. They fought back and forth, and the fight was quite lively.
Chen Feng discovered that most of the participants entering the second round were at least at the intermediate stage. There were only about ten of them at the early stage of the stage, and of those below the stage, only Chen Feng, Wen Chen, and Dai Ji were among the one hundred people.
"It looks like this competition will be very lively!" Chen Feng thought in his heart as his fighting spirit churned.
"Boom —"
In the blink of an eye, the outcome of the match was decided. The contestant from competitor # 1 was able to beat the contestant from the first round in a single move, and he was victorious.
Below the stage, there were already people registering the victor's number on the ball, waiting for the second distribution.
In the match, although the winner was extremely happy, the loser didn't look too depressed.
As long as they entered the top 100, even if they lost, they would still receive a large amount of rewards. This was also the reason why all cultivators risked their lives to enter the top 100.
At the level of the Awakening Realm, deciding the victor was usually only a matter of time.
What was worth mentioning was that Chen Feng's friends all had their own victories and losses.
Meng Qiu Ling's opponent was a cultivator in the intermediate stage. Originally, when he saw Meng Qiu Ling, this beautiful woman, he had thoughts of cherishing her. However, the moment she made her move, Meng Qiu Ling's violent side was meticulously demonstrated. Under her furious rounds of attacks, that cultivator was worthy of admitting defeat in a sorry state.
Xiao Yi, on the surface, looked like he was only at the early stage of the Body Refinement Realm. He was still pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger on the stage.
He first struggled to hold on in the opponent's round of attacks, then caught him off guard and barely defeated him with a single strike. After defeating the other party, he continued to pat his chest, as if he'd received a great shock.
However, Wen Chen, Dai Ji, and Galaxy were all defeated after only a few attacks from their opponents.
For this time's Azure Continent's Large Competition, their cultivation was still too weak.
"The contestants No.48 and No.53 will be competing next. Both contestants, please go on stage!"
Along with the host's shout, Chen Feng knew that he was about to go on stage.
