In the fifth section, Michaux Odin calmly watched his first opponent, Miao Xiu from the Cosmic Star Academy. He was also a disciple of the Court of the Templar.
For someone who had been baptized by Patroclus, there was nothing more terrifying than this, not even the young master of the Divine Master Sect.
The atmosphere in the arena was tense. All disciples of the Court of the Templar were knowledgeable, and they knew a little bit about every type of attack. To some extent, the Divine Master Sect could be considered as a secret sect, but unlike other secret sects, the Divine Master Sect specialized in Soul Energy. No one had ever heard of any terrifying killing tactics from the Divine Master Sect, and Miao Xiu's forte was in defending against Soul Energy attacks.
Spiritual Energy was consolidated in the head to protect the spirit sea. Actually, spiritual attacks were very pitiful. Once one knew a bit about the spirit sea's defense, it would be very difficult for it to be effective. Therefore, most people were not interested in small tricks like sorcery. Just one look at this action and those who knew the ropes would know that the Young Celestial Master had met his match.
Michaux thought that Miao Xiu would launch an attack immediately, but he didn't expect Miao Xiu to be so generous. Now, Miao Xiu could fully use the Soul Energy Sea Defense technique.
Emma and the rest of the students from Cosmic Star Academy let out a long sigh of relief. When they found out that they were going to face Michaux in the first round of the knockout round, they all felt a chill in their hearts. They thought that this year's competition was going to be dominated by the S Academy, but they didn't expect that the descendants of the five major clans would come out in full force. As a result, the other clans that wanted to compete with the five major clans all sent out their best disciples. As a result, the battles in the first two rounds were so fierce that many people had to return in defeat.
Even the S-ranked Cosmic Star Academy, which had the home advantage, was facing unprecedented difficulties. They thought that at least twenty people would be able to make it to the second round, but in the end, only ten were able to make it.
The Spirit Defense Technique was a tactic that he had been researching for a long time. No one would not be afraid of the Divine Master Sect's Spirit Energy. However, the Divine Master Sect also had a chronic problem. The young Divine Master spent most of his time researching on Spirit Energy, so he was most likely weaker in martial arts. Therefore, he would rather seal his Spirit Sea. Although it would make his Spirit Perception and Aura weaker, at least he would not be attacked by the Divine Master Sect's GN Force.
That was Michaux's tactic. He wasn't afraid of Michaux at all. In his eyes, Patroclus was the most terrifying opponent.
"Are you ready?" Michaux asked with a smile.
"You're very generous, Young Celestial Master. I'll be gentler when I help you with the plastic surgery later!"
Miao Xiu clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked. Now that he had completed his defense, he could beat the Young Celestial Master to his heart's content. This was a rare opportunity.
With a loud roar, Miao Xiu unleashed his GN Force and launched himself at Michaux like a bullet. Miao Xiu was determined not to give Michaux any chance to retaliate. He didn't believe that Michaux's skinny body could withstand his fists.
At the same time, Michaux was as calm as ever. He crossed his hands and formed a strange gesture.
"Break!"
Miao Xiu, who was rushing forward, suddenly suffered a heavy blow to his head. It was as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer. He saw stars and fell to the ground.
He didn't even struggle.
Michaux Odin won.
This was a psychological blow to all the opponents. In front of the Young Hierarch of the Celestial Master Sect, all mental defenses were as fragile as paper.
So what if you are from the Holy Church?
This was the Celestial Master Sect!
A Rank Five Warrior was completely defenseless in front of him.
So far, the Four Princes of Ayrlarng had shown their terrifying strength, but this was only the tip of the iceberg.
Wang Tong had also encountered a strong opponent in the round of sixty-four. It was a hurdle for Ayrlarng because he was matched against the second seeded fighter of Division Three, Guan Dongyang from the Martian Sect of Arcane. The twenty-five-year-old Guan Dongyang was a well-known figure on Mars, and it was said that he had mastered the art of secret tactics. Even Li Ruo-Er might not be able to defeat him, but Li Ruo-Er was chosen as a seeded fighter because of the reputation of the House of Li.
However, being a seeded fighter wasn't the key to victory in a battle. The only thing that could decide the outcome of a battle was one's strength.
Guan Dongyang's nickname was the Lord of Flames, and he was known to possess magical powers. The Arcane Sect of Arcane had been a rising power on Mars for the past ten years, and it was said that they had never lost a single match since their debut. Not only that, they had also won every single match in the tournament.
Compared to them, Wang Tong, who was a student of Ayrlarng, was much more popular.
In the crowd's eyes, Wang Tong was going to face a fighter from Division Three who could advance to the quarter-finals, and it seemed like he had used up all his luck in the first round.
The match was about to begin, but the Ayrlarng crowd seemed to be a little worried. On the other hand, the Martian crowd seemed to be at ease. Wang Tong had performed well during his journey to the next round, especially when he defeated Han Linu, who was an expert in puppetry. Han Linu had successfully made it to the top sixty-four. Aside from the fact that he lost control of his puppetry during the qualifying round, and the fact that Wang Tong was able to take advantage of his secret tactics, no one was able to defeat him after that. Even in the first round, Han Linu still managed to make it to the next round. After all, it was impossible for him to fight against five Level Five Fighters.
It seemed like Han Linu had perfected his puppetry, and it was unlikely that he would run into such a problem again.
Han Linu had also been given the nickname of the King of Puppets. His new secret tactics and powerful strength had greatly improved the popularity of the Moon Sect of Arcane Arts.
However, in the later rounds of the tournament, each and every one of them would have to face a huge challenge, as they were all here to create miracles.
Karl was still the happiest person in the past few days, and he had been cheering for his teammates without any pressure. However, the others weren't as optimistic as him.
Hu Yangxuan's match was a little late. He knew that Wang Tong was a powerful fighter, but he didn't have any information on Wang Tong. Furthermore, he knew that Wang Tong was a tough opponent, and he didn't have any information on Guan Dongyang. Guan Dongyang's Soul Energy was over four hundred sols, and he was already at the peak of Level Five Fighter. Guan Dongyang's METAL Combat Suit was more than enough to defeat his opponent. Coupled with his unpredictable Secret Arts, Hu Yangxuan was confident that he would be able to defeat Guan Dongyang easily.
Hu Yangxuan's instinct told him that Wang Tong would win, but to be honest, he knew that Wang Tong was strong, but he had no idea how powerful Wang Tong was. Frankly speaking, Hu Yangxuan had no idea how strong Wang Tong was.
Perhaps that was why he was worried about Wang Tong.
Wang Tong hoped to gain more strength in the knockout rounds, as he would be able to gain a lot of experience and skills from these matches. This would be his only chance to improve before he entered the top sixteen, and the real battle would be waiting for him in the later rounds.
Guan Dongyang looked at Wang Tong, who was eight years younger than him, and noticed that Wang Tong's eyes were calm and confident. Guan Dongyang was amused by the fact that Wang Tong was young and fearless.
Actually, Guan Dongyang didn't want to participate in the tournament due to his age and strength. However, he was also responsible for promoting Occult Tactics, and if he had a goal in mind, it would be the Five Great Tactics. Guan Dongyang believed that no one in this world would be able to break the monopoly of the Five Great Tactics.
That was all in the past. The Secret Technique had already pointed out a new path for human development.
Guan Dongyang didn't want to waste too much time on Wang Tong. He only had five minutes to prepare, and the match was about to begin. Guan Dongyang planned to spend around one minute on Wang Tong.
Defeating Li Ruo-Er was his first step. In his eyes, Li Ruo-Er was even weaker than Guan Dongyang, and his real opponents were the Fourth Prince and the First Princess. Guan Dongyang would teach them a lesson about the changing times.
Wang Tong did some warm-up exercises, stretching his back and neck to pass the last few minutes of training. He was excited to see Guan Dongyang, not because of his powerful Soul Energy, but because of something deeper. Somehow, Guan Dongyang was able to give him a sense of excitement.
It was a dangerous feeling.
Therefore, Wang Tong decided to do some warm-up exercises, even though it seemed like a joke to him.
Since the knockout rounds were about to begin, the contestants' seats were set up for the final one hundred and twenty-eight contestants to watch any of the matches they wanted. Hu Yangxuan was sitting in one of the seats, so he could have a better view of the matches.
However, this match was not the highlight match of the top sixty four. Most of the contestants were either watching the Fourth Prince's match or preparing for their own matches. None of them had the time to pay attention to the others.
The contestants' seats were empty, and Hu Yangxuan stood out from the crowd. Suddenly, someone appeared beside him.
"Long time no see, Hu Yangxuan. Is there anyone around?" The voice was cold, but it was still pleasant.
"The Little Witch, Li Ruo-Er was here!
Li Ruo-Er's match was next. Logically speaking, she should be resting and preparing. Why would she be in the mood to come here?
Hu Yangxuan paused for a second, then he smiled and said, "Nope, please have a seat."
Li Ruo-Er sat down and glanced at Wang Tong, who was still struggling on the stage, and said, "When will this guy become more serious?"
"Haha, you're looking for the right person. Wang Tong is a very serious person." Based on Hu Yangxuan's experience, it was obvious that Li Ruo-Er was interested in Wang Tong. However, even Hu Yangxuan didn't want Wang Tong to fall in love with someone else. Ma Xiaoru was a rare good girl, and even though Li Ruo-Er was pretty, she was definitely a rose with thorns.
Li Ruo-Er didn't say anything, and no one knew if she had understood Hu Yangxuan's hint.
"Ah, look, it's the Little Witch, Li Ruo-Er!"
"Yeah, why is she here?"
"Stupid, she must be here to observe Guan Dongyang's condition. They are the strongest team in Division 3."
"You're right, I hope Wang Tong can hold on for a while longer. Look at that figure, Tactics of the Enchantress …"
"Hey bro, keep a low profile, or the House of Li might help you." Someone teased.
