The Sword Fanatic challenged Xiao Lao, and Xiao Lao was not afraid at all.
These two guys, one dared to say it, and the other dared to accept it.
Although the first round was over, there were only three days left. After three days, they would face the next round of competition.
Compared to the first round, the second round was obviously more intense. However, Xiao Lao and the Sword Fanatic still did not care about it.
These two battle maniacs did not care at all, or rather, they did not even think about it.
If they were injured, what would happen to them in the next round?
Not only Jian Yi, but even Xiao Yao was speechless and could not help but scold them.
"Nonsense."
"This has nothing to do with me. He challenged me first. Since he has come to challenge me, I can't just reject him."
Xiao Lao said with an aggrieved look. However, it was obviously impossible for them to fight now.
Xiao Yao and Jian Yi would not agree to it. How could they not know what was more important in the current situation?
The Hidden Dragon List competition was just around the corner. It was definitely not worth it to get injured at this time.
"If you want to fight, you can fight when the next round starts. Not today."
Xiao Yao said directly without any hesitation. Seeing this, Jian Yi also agreed.
"Yes, when the next round starts, you will have a chance to fight."
Xiao Lao and the Sword Fanatic were obviously very dissatisfied with this. Both of them were freaks who only thought about fighting and cultivation.
It was rare to meet an opponent they liked, but they could not fight. This made them very uncomfortable.
Seeing that the Sword Fanatic still did not give up, Jian Yi said helplessly.
"It's meaningless for you to defeat him here. Senior Xiao Chen isn't here, so he won't see the battle between the two of you. You won't have a chance to show off at all. Senior Xiao Chen won't know how many times you've won."
"When this round of competition starts, you can fight Xiao Lao openly in the arena. I'm sure Senior Xiao Chen will be watching."
Faced with the Sword Maniac's expression, Jian Yi had no choice but to spout some nonsense.
Other than Sword Dao and fighting, what this Sword Fanatic cared about the most was becoming Xiao Chen's disciple.
As expected, this move was indeed effective. The Sword Maniac's expression changed slightly.
As someone who knew the Sword Fanatic very well, Jian Yi smiled bitterly when he saw this scene. This guy really didn't know what to say.
No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless. Just calling him Senior Xiao Chen actually changed his mind.
It was obvious that he was persuaded by Jian Yi. He glanced at Xiao Luo, then stood up and said.
"Then let's save it for the next round."
After saying that, the Sword Maniac turned around and left without waiting for anyone to reply.
Since he didn't want to fight, there was no point for him to stay here. If he had time, he would rather cultivate.
The Sword Maniac's personality was like that. He basically didn't have much interaction with people. In his life, apart from cultivation, there was probably only fighting.
After the Sword Maniac left, Jian Yi smiled apologetically.
"Everyone, please forgive him. He's just like that. He doesn't mean anything bad."
"It's alright. The Sword Maniac is sincere and honest. He's very good."
Said Xiao Yao with a smile. After chatting with Jian Yi for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.
"Those two guys aren't weak."
Said Lin Feng with a smile while looking at Jian Yi's back as he left.
Even though Jian Yi and the Sword Maniac didn't take the initiative to release any Qi, Lin Feng and the others could see that the two brothers were very strong.
The Sword Maniac, in particular, was like an unsheathed sword, showing off its sharpness.
In response, Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.
"Indeed, they're not weak. They're both on the Hidden Dragon List. Their strength should be enough to rank in the top ten."
During the first round, Xiao Yao had already observed the strength of the young geniuses.
Xiao Lao couldn't do such a thing, so Xiao Yao had to do it himself.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll win a hundred battles. That was Xiao Yao's belief. Among the young geniuses, Jian Yi and the Sword Maniac were definitely one of the most noteworthy people.
On the other hand, Xiao Lao was dissatisfied that he didn't get to fight against the Sword Maniac.
"Boring. I'm going to cultivate."
Xiao Lao was about to fight the Sword Maniac, but Xiao Yao and Jian Yi stopped him in the end. Now that he was itching to fight, he could only cultivate for a while to consume the strength in his body.
Looking at Xiao Lao's back, Xiao Yao shook her head helplessly. Compared to the Sword Maniac, her younger brother was really better.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After three days of rest, the young geniuses had already adjusted themselves to their peak state.
The second round of the competition was different from the first round. It was no longer a challenge tournament like before, but a big battle royale.
A huge challenge arena could accommodate tens of thousands of people without feeling crowded at all.
Moreover, around the challenge arena, there were restrictions set up by Xiao Chen and the other kings of Emperor Dong's Palace to ensure that the aftermath of the battle wouldn't affect the outside world and that the challenge arena wouldn't be easily broken.
In the second round of the competition, the 999 young geniuses who passed the first round would enter the challenge arena at the same time and engage in a fierce battle royale.
In the end, the remaining 100 people would successfully enter the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard and wait for the next round to enter the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard.
It didn't seem fair for everyone to fight in a free-for-all.
After all, even the most powerful geniuses could lose their footing and be eliminated when faced with a group of people.
It wasn't the first time something like this had happened before.
Some young geniuses who knew that they couldn't enter the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard would team up and attack those powerful geniuses together.
After all, only those who eliminated them would have a chance to enter the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard. Therefore, some people felt that the rules of this round were unreasonable and didn't select the most powerful geniuses.
On the contrary, it was easy for others to take advantage of the situation and pass the round through other means.
However, Emperor Dong's Palace had no intention of changing the rules.
The rules were unfair, but there was no such thing as real fairness in this world. The Hidden Dragon Leaderboard represented the peak of the younger generation in the Eastern Region.
Therefore, everyone on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard had to be the real deal.
Since you were a genius on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard, you had to have the ability to face any predicament. If you couldn't defeat your enemies when surrounded, then you deserved to be eliminated.
That was Emperor Dong's Palace's idea. It was simple and straightforward.
If you had the ability to defeat your opponents, then you would naturally be on the leaderboard. If you didn't have the ability, then you had no one to blame but yourself.
