Their figures flashed onto the extremely large arena at the center, and then they bowed to Li Si before they withdrew to the side. As he gazed at Yuan Tong, Li Si had a complicated look in his eyes. How good would it have been if this monstrous genius appeared in the Empire. Unfortunately, he’s a member of the Origin School. If the Empire doesn’t make a move against the Origin School while it possesses such a monstrous genius within it, then the Origin School would definitely become stronger and stronger in the future. At that time, the fate of the Empire would be worrying! Li Si sighed lightly in his heart before he turned around to look at the crowd, and he gestured in midair to indicate that the crowd should quiet down. After the crowd fell silent, he said, “Everyone, I presume everyone recognizes Yuan Tong who’s standing behind him, and I presume everyone has a clear understanding of his strength. Because there was one extra person when the groups were divided up, my Grand Qin Empire, the six great powers, and the Talisman Master’s Association have unanimously decided to allow him to directly advance into the next round. Of course, if someone present here has any objections or refuses to accept this, then you can challenge him on the spot. So long as you defeat him, you can directly advance as well!” When they heard this, the crowd below the arena shook their heads to display they had no objections. What a joke! Challenge Yuan Tong! Wasn’t that like courting death? Conversely, they truly approved of this decision. After all, none of them were willing to be in the same group as Yuan Tong. Li Si nodded slightly when he noticed that there were no objections, and then he said, “Since it’s like that, then I announce the second round has officially begun!” After that, the participants from every single group started to draw lots, and then they ascended the arenas to battle their respective opponents. After a few intense battles, the first minor climax in the battles had arrived, and it was because the Grand Qin Empire’s Qin Youran had ascended the arena! Qin Youran’s opponent was a robust young man. The young man held an enormous iron hammer.At this moment, the young man seemed to be aware of how formidable his opponent was, and his expression was extremely solemn. However, he didn’t choose to admit defeat right away. In the opinion of any profounder, losing wasn’t terrifying, and it was admitting defeat before losing that was terrifying! Of course, he was even more afraid of losing face. He couldn’t afford to directly admit defeat in front of so many people, and he felt that he had to exchange at least a few moves with his opponent! Qin Youran gazed at the robust young man and said indifferently, “Attack, otherwise, you wouldn’t have another chance!” A wisp of rage flashed in the robust young man’s eyes when he heard this. This Qin Youran is truly too arrogant. As soon as rage arose in him, the robust man stopped hesitating, and he shot rapidly towards Qin Youran. After that, he stomped lightly with his feet, causing his figure to soar into the air, and then he held the enormous iron hammer with both hands before he smashed it down forcefully towards Qin Youran’s head! Bang! A low and muffled bang resounded, and then the robust man was blasted out of the arena and smashed down onto the ground. The crowd beneath the area was instantly stunned upon witnessing this scene because many hadn’t even seen how Qin Youran attacked. Qin Youran glanced at the crowd while a wisp of disdain flashed in his eyes. Because fighting these fellows was truly a waste of time to him, and only the two women from the two Palace and Yuan Tong were worthy opponents for him. Meanwhile, the judge at Arena No.1 recovered from his shock and hurriedly announced. “Zheng Junyuan has lost, Qin Youran wins!” “How formidable! After all, Zheng Junyuan is at the sixth rank of the First Heaven Realm, yet he was unable to resist a single strike of Qin Youran’s. Qin Youran’s strength is truly too terrifying!” “Yeah, we’re doomed. We’re in group No.1 as well. My god, I hope I don’t encounter him!”“Directly admit defeat upon encountering him. It isn’t shameful to directly admit defeat in front of him....” In the vicinity of Arena No.9, Tang Ye glanced at Qin Youran before he withdrew his gaze, and then he shot his gaze towards Arena No.8 because Murong Yao had ascended the arena. Murong Yao’s opponent was a disciple from a clan. He was called Li Han, and he was at the seventh rank of the First Heaven Realm. Just like the robust man from before, Li Han had a solemn expression as well. After all, Murong Yao was a disciple of the Sword Sect. When he found out his opponent was from the Sword Sect, Li Han knew that he would definitely lose. There were disciples amongst the clans and independent cultivators who could defeat disciples from the sects, but it didn’t represent that he could! Just like the robust man, even though he knew he wasn’t a match for her, Li Han still didn’t admit defeat right away. With a flip of his palm, a sword appeared in his hand, and then his profound energy surged madly into it. At a certain moment in time, Li Han’s figure flashed, and he instantly arrived in front of Murong Yao before his sword moved at a tricky angle to stab at her throat.
