The second round of the competition was also conducted in the form of a single-elimination tournament, but it was a battle of life and death. The second round of the competition was also conducted in the form of a single-elimination tournament, but it was a battle of life and death.
10,000 Cotian Sect disciples who had committed a capital offense had already been selected. Of course, their cultivation levels were also selected, and they were basically at the same level as the young martial artists who were participating in the recruitment competition this time.
Because of this, spectators were allowed to watch the second round of the competition. For example, Qin Xuan's Second Uncle, many of the family elders who had followed these young martial artists to participate in the recruitment competition also came to the spectator seats and took their seats.
With the identity of Qin Xuan's Second Uncle, he was naturally respected and flattered by many people. However, his seat was not in the first row but in the second row. As for the first row, it was reserved for the elders of the Sword Sect.
Even with the identity of Qin Xuan's Second Uncle, it was naturally impossible for him to be on equal footing with the elders of the Sword Sect. Moreover, it was said that Vice Sect Leader Lin Qing would personally host the second round of the competition.
Although Lin Qing was only one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Sword Sect, he held great power. It was no exaggeration to say that the power of any of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Sword Sect was definitely much greater than the so-called Qin Clan's Patriarch.
Therefore, everyone was looking forward to Vice Sect Leader Lin Qing personally hosting the second round of the competition. After all, he was the Vice Sect Leader of the Sword Sect. Everyone would be satisfied if they could exchange a few words with him.
The spectator seats were already packed. Below, in the preparation area, the 10,000 young martial artists who had passed the first round of the competition were already preparing.
Everyone knew that their opponents were the disciples of the Cotian Sect. Although they might be the lowest outer court disciples of the Cotian Sect, they were not to be underestimated. After all, the Cotian Sect was once one of the Ten Great Lingtian Sects. Their disciples were obviously not a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Lin Qing's idea of using the disciples of the Heavenly Sect to test the new disciples was indeed a good idea. Because in this way, it would prove that the new disciples of the Sword Sect were obviously stronger than those of the Heavenly Sect.
As for the word 'cruel', it was simply a joke. The winner was king while the loser was in the wrong. Since the Heavenly Sect had lost, wouldn't their disciples be at the mercy of the Swords Gate? Therefore, there was nothing cruel about it. Furthermore, the hands of these Heavenly Sect disciples were also stained with the blood of the Swords Gate disciples.
While they were preparing for the upcoming battle, Qin Xuan anxiously searched for Xiao Luan's figure. After searching for a while, Qin Xuan saw Xiao Luan and immediately went up to greet her happily.
"Xiao Luan …" Qin Xuan called out with a smile. Upon hearing Qin Xuan's voice, Xiao Luan waved her hand.
However, just as the two of them greeted each other, an extremely untimely voice interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
"Yo, Qin Xuan. Which family's young lady are you trying to trick this time?"
The voice was filled with thick mockery. Qin Xuan turned to the voice and saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes striding toward him.
Qin Xuan immediately snapped at the young man. "Zhang Xuan, are you trying to pick a fight?"
It was apparent that Qin Xuan knew Zhang Xuan and their relationship didn't seem to be harmonious.
In fact, the Zhang Family that Zhang Xuan belonged to was also a large family. In terms of strength, it wasn't much weaker than the Qin Family. Moreover, the Qin Family and the Zhang Family weren't far apart and there had always been conflicts between the two families.
Therefore, as the Young Masters of the two families and geniuses with extraordinary talents, Qin Xuan and Zhang Xuan had always disliked each other since they were young.
Qin Xuan knew that Zhang Xuan was participating in the Sword Sect's recruitment competition, which was why he wasn't surprised to see Zhang Xuan here. However, it wasn't easy for Qin Xuan to speak to Xiao Luan and Zhang Xuan came over to mess things up. This made Qin Xuan extremely unhappy.
As expected, the smile on Xiao Luan's face quickly disappeared upon seeing Zhang Xuan. She said to Qin Xuan indifferently, "I'll be leaving first."
She didn't wait for Qin Xuan's reply and left immediately.
Qin Xuan was inwardly vexed as he gazed at Zhang Xuan's back view. "Don't pick a fight for no reason."
Then, he turned around and left. This wasn't the place to make a move. After all, Qin Xuan was in the Sword Sect and he didn't dare to provoke the Sword Sect's prestige.
Qin Xuan and Xiao Luan left. However, Zhang Xuan didn't care about this at all. He only looked at Xiao Luan's back view and revealed a faint smile. "What a beautiful lady. Qin Xuan, it seems like I'll have to snatch her away again."
Xiao Luan didn't know what Zhang Xuan was thinking. Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care. With Xiao Luan's status, if Zhang Xuan dared to do anything out of line, the entire Zhang Family would be buried with him. Therefore, if Zhang Xuan had some self-awareness, he wouldn't have done something that he shouldn't have.
Zhang Xuan's appearance didn't affect Xiao Luan at all. Although Qin Xuan still wanted to look for Xiao Luan, he gave up on the idea after some thought. He could only curse Zhang Xuan in his heart.
Zhang Xuan's appearance was only a small interlude. Very quickly, the second round of the competition began. There were a total of ten stages according to their respective numbers and the competition would be held in all ten stages at the same time.
One by one, the young martial artists whose names were called stepped onto the battle ring and began the second round of the competition.
Compared to the first round, the second round of the competition was obviously more dangerous because the disciples of the Heavenly Sect wouldn't hold back. They would use their killing moves as soon as they attacked. It was either life or death.
Therefore, as soon as the competition began, there were already people who fell. Of course, there were also disciples of the Heavenly Sect who were killed. But no matter what, the second round of the competition was obviously more brutal than the first.
Battle after battle continued. While the battles were going on, on the seventh arena, a battle had just ended. When the referee, who was acting as the referee, glanced at the name list, he was stunned. This was because the name list stated that the next participant was Xiao Luan.
The judge knew who Xiao Luan was. She was the daughter of the Sect Leader. But …
Taken aback, the deacon instinctively called out. "Xiao Luan …"
Hearing her name, Xiao Luan strode onto stage seven. However, when Xiao Luan appeared on stage seven, Lin Qing, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up abruptly.
When he saw Xiao Luan on stage seven, Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise. "Miss … Miss …"
Lin Qing was obviously shocked by Xiao Luan's appearance. Not only him, but the surrounding elders of Swords Gate were also dumbfounded at this moment.
