rrogant!"Shao Dong finished speaking and threw a punch, directly launching an attack.He had his own agenda and feared being obstructed by the Zhang brothers, so he struck first.Anyway, under the banne...To the astonishment of the crowd, a muffled thud echoed as Zheng Yiheng, like a kite with its string cut, was flung backward off the platform. He crashed heavily onto the ground below, spewing out a large mouthful of blood.

Now everyone was astonished. They all knew Zheng Yiheng was from the Zheng family, and Zheng Wei was the Great Elder of Lingxiao Academy.

According to reason, the relationship between two people is special. Even if Liu Yijian's strength is powerful, he should give the other party some face. Unexpectedly, when he made a move, he was merciless.

The hardest hit was Zheng Yiheng. His performance pales in comparison to Liu Yijian's, and he hadn't even given it his all just yet.

I know best how badly I'm hurt now. This palm strike directly jolted my internal organs, as if they were rearranged. My chest feels like it's on fire, and I've completely lost the ability to fight any longer.

He couldn't figure out for the life of him why Liu Yijian would strike him so hard.

Even in public, he couldn't confront her, so he could only glare menacingly at the stage.

Liu Yijian, however, acted as if he hadn't seen anything. After the referee announced his victory, he strode directly off the sword-testing platform.

There was an uproar among the audience.

“This Liu Yijian is too ruthless, he didn't even give Zheng the young master any face…”

"This can't be blamed on anyone else, it's just that Zheng Yiheng is not as skilled. This is the competition arena, there's no point in blaming others..."

"Looking at Liu Yi Jian's momentum, he must be aiming for the championship..."

Amidst the buzzing discussions, the second round of the draw concluded. Liu Yijian and Ye Bufan were drawn into the same group, instantly drawing countless gazes towards them.

This is no surprise, Liu Yijian was already a frontrunner before this, attracting the attention of countless people.

Ye Bufan was originally unremarkable, and not even anyone knew he existed.

But yesterday, the Tianfeng Empire's performance was truly eye-catching, becoming the most dazzling dark horse of the entire arena.

As captain and dean, especially after demonstrating a miraculous medical skill of bringing people back from the brink of death, it's impossible not to attract attention.

The most crucial thing is that he hasn't made a move yet. This sense of mystery has also piqued the interest of countless people.

"Brother, tell me, who do you think is more powerful between the two I'm betting on Liu Yijian..."

"Who knows, even now Dean Ye hasn't made a move. I wonder how high his cultivation really is..."

"I think Dean Ye is more powerful. He hasn't made a move yet, and this feeling makes him seem like a mysterious master..."

"I think this must be a battle that astounds heaven and weeps ghosts and gods, it must be incredibly wonderful..."

As two figures stepped onto the platform, a wave of excitement rippled through the crowd. A buzz of conversation erupted, filled with eager speculation and diverse opinions.

On the side of the Daxing Empire's royal family, both Tubo Yang and Tubo Shuang had already dealt with their opponents. The siblings looked over at this side together.

"Big brother, you said that guy was mysterious, I don't know if he's any good"

Tuo Ba Yang sneered coldly: "I hope he can hold on until the end, so that I can personally destroy him."

"However, that possibility is very small. He could never be Liu Yijian's match!"

Although Ye Bufan hadn't made a move yet, Liu Yijian's cultivation level was clear to him. Even if he fought himself, it would be a difficult battle.

Ye Bufan and the other stood face to face on the platform, they didn't care about the discussions around them.

Liu Yijian directly transmitted his voice and said, "Doctor Ye, I originally thought we could make separate efforts, but I didn't expect to encounter them together at the very beginning."

Time is of the essence, so I won't beat around the bush. Tell me, how confident are you in obtaining the Red Yuan Guo

Ye Bufan said, "Nine out of ten."

"Well, I'd say I only have about a 50% chance. In that case, I concede."

Zheng Yihe has run out of steam. There's only so much I can do. The rest is up to you now.

Liu Yi Jian had absolute trust in Ye Bufan. After speaking, he turned to look at the referee beside him and directly said, “I admit defeat in this round!”

After saying that, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He turned and jumped off the stage.

"Ugh!"

Everyone around was completely dumbfounded, they didn't react for a moment, not knowing what had happened.

"What's going on I was expecting an earth-shattering battle, not a surrender!"

"What's going on Giving up in the group stage, doesn't that mean giving up on the championship right away"

"My goodness, what is Liu Yijian doing Has he gone mad"

The onlookers exploded in an instant. Many had been anticipating a thrilling showdown, but they never expected it to end so abruptly.

Tuo Ba Yang and Tuo Ba Shuang were also dumbfounded. They had always regarded Liu Yijian as a potential rival, never expecting him to surrender so easily.

"What's going on"red and could only block twelve out of the twenty-four heavenly thunders.Ye Bufan could no longer care about anything else. He threw out all of his Meteor Thunder Gourds, a total of ten, which caught...
