On the second day of the second round, Canyang won the competition and Du Feng's number was not called for the entire day. Hence, he did not go out and continued to cultivate in the house.
On the third day, Fu Xi did not go to the arena, but Canyang went as usual to help Du Feng keep an eye on him.
"Junior Brother, you can go back. I'll help you keep an eye on him."
One of Canyang's Senior Brothers who had yet to go up knew that he was helping Du Feng keep an eye on him. He advised him to go back and cultivate and he would just have to keep an eye on him. In any case, he would be able to rush over immediately with a Voice Transmission Talisman.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Canyang's Senior Brother was naturally the Azure Thearch's disciple. Moreover, he was the more senior kind of disciple and could be said to be very reliable. Since he was keeping an eye on the arena, there would definitely be no problem for him to pass the message. Hence, he did not hesitate and immediately returned to his house.
After all, Canyang's Cultivation level was still a little low. A third-stage Immortal Lord did not have an advantage in the arena. Personal talent and the use of divine abilities were one aspect, but the level of Cultivation level was the foundation of fighting.
After Canyang returned, he found that Du Feng was hard at work, so he did not disturb him in the training room. Hence, he changed to another room and began to cultivate himself. Fortunately, the house was bigger and there were many empty rooms. It was not a problem for two people to cultivate together.
What was unexpected was that the Yellow Emperor did not call Du Feng's number for a period of time. All the way until the last day of the second round, his number was still not called. Everyone even suspected that the Yellow Emperor had forgotten about Du Feng.
"No way. Could it be that the Yellow Emperor is trying to cheat?"
Fu Xi was a little unhappy. He and Canyang had finished the second round and were waiting for the third round, but Du Feng had not fought his second round yet. Because he had not fought his second round, he did not dare to go out casually and had been staying at Canyang's house.
It was already the last day, but he still did not let Du Feng go up. Was he trying to eliminate him directly? If that was the case, it would be too obvious that he was cheating. One had to know that Du Feng had won the last round, and he had won very easily. Everyone had seen it.
Du Feng was meditating in the training room and had no idea how many days had passed outside. Anyway, Canyang would remind him when it was his turn, so he wasn't worried. The effects of cultivating day and night were pretty good.
Especially with the help of the East Emperor Sect's inner force mental cultivation technique, he was able to raise his Cultivation Stage Six Immortal Lord Stage to Stage Seven. Not only did his Cultivation level increase, but his physique had also improved a lot. The flexibility of the muscle fibers, the hardness of the bones, the elasticity of the skin, and the smoothness of the force exertion had all improved significantly.
One had to admit that an experienced Immortal Emperor was indeed skilled.
"You're out. Today is the last day. Do you want to go and take a look?"
When Canyang saw Du Feng coming out, he told him the news. Today was indeed the last day of the second round, and number 660 Du Feng hadn't been called yet. If he didn't show up by the end of the day, then there would be no more matches for him, which meant that he would be eliminated and wouldn't be able to participate in the third round.
"It's alright. Why don't you practice with me?"
Du Feng didn't care. If the Yellow Emperor was really cheating, there was no point in him going. He had already familiarized himself with the inner force mental cultivation technique, but he hadn't practiced the new sword art. Since Canyang was at home, he might as well spar with him.
"Alright, I have some things that I want to try out."
Canyang had been cultivating and digesting the new knowledge that the Lotus Thearch had imparted to him. Since that was the case, they might as well spar in the courtyard.
Of course, they wouldn't use real swords when sparring with friends. Canyang usually held a dagger in his left hand and used his fingers on his right hand. Now, he held a short wooden stick in his left hand and used his index and middle fingers on his right hand.
On the other hand, Du Feng held a thin branch and used it as a sword. The two mainly competed in terms of moves, skills, and reaction speed. In addition, they wanted to familiarize themselves with the new things they had learned. No matter how good the sword art or the cultivation technique was, it would be useless if they weren't familiar with it.
Just like that, the two practiced from morning until noon. There was no news from the arena, so naturally, Du Feng hadn't been called.
"Do you want to go and have a look? It's already noon."
Canyang stopped and asked Du Feng if he wanted to go to the arena. It was already noon, and there was only half a day left in the second round. It seemed that it was going to be difficult.
"No need. Maybe I'll get a bye."
Du Feng's mentality was good enough, but the problem was that someone had already gotten a bye in the last round. The number of participants in this round was even. How could he get a bye again? Besides, even if he got a bye again, he should have notified him at the beginning.
"Okay, let's continue."
Canyang understood Du Feng's character. Once he decided, he would do it. Persuasion was useless, so he might as well fight with him.
Another half of the afternoon passed, and it was gradually approaching dusk. The competition was also nearing its end. This was because all the participants had already gone on stage. Other than Du Feng, everyone realized that there seemed to be another participant who hadn't gone on stage yet.
After all, the number of participants was even. Du Feng should have an opponent. Since he didn't go on stage, his opponent definitely didn't go on stage either. Perhaps the two of them would fight in the last round. Just when everyone wanted to see who Du Feng's opponent was, Yellow Emperor directly announced.
"Number 660 has a bye and will advance directly."
After the announcement, the second round of the competition ended. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Du Feng wasn't allowed to go on stage.
Interestingly, when Canyang's Senior Brother heard that number 660 was called, he immediately picked up the sound transmitting talisman.
When Canyang heard the sound transmitting talisman on his waist ring, he immediately picked it up. He wanted to know the result.
"The competition is over!"
In the end, the Senior Brother immediately told him that judging from the time, it should be over.
"Ah, then what about number 660?"
Canyang still didn't dare to believe it. Was Du Feng really not allowed to go on stage? This was too obvious.
"No, don't get too excited. He directly got a bye, so the competition ended early."
Pfft … Canyang almost vomited blood. Why didn't you say that he got a bye first? Why did you say that the competition was over? I thought that Du Feng had been eliminated, but in the end, he directly advanced.
"See, I told you, he really got a bye."
Actually, on the morning of the last day, Du Feng had already guessed that he was probably going to get a bye. That Yellow Emperor wanted his name so much, even if he wanted to cheat, he wouldn't do it openly. However, the participants before him were pretty much done, and there weren't any suitable opponents for him.
