In the central square of the Hidden Dragon Fortress!
Sensing Yu Haoran's gaze, Qin Minghao immediately raised his head to look at him.
Qin Minghao, who used to be modest, cautious, and slightly inferior, was now not only filled with strong confidence when he faced Yu Haoran's gaze, but there was also a hint of coldness flashing through his eyes from time to time.
"Thaling, I will help you obtain the Purple Spirit Embryo Fruit in the finals."
Although he didn't know why there was a trace of hostility in Qin Minghao's eyes when he looked at him, it gave him a reason to kill Qin Minghao.
Therefore, Yu Haoran promised Thaling after he withdrew his gaze from Qin Minghao.
"Yu Haoran, as long as my Spirit can recover to the Demigod Realm, you will be able to ignore any opponent below the peak of the Third Stage of the Emperor Wu."
Without needing him to ask, Yu Haoran had taken the initiative to consider for him. Thaling felt gratified and immediately gave Yu Haoran a promise that made him extremely excited.
Ignoring any opponent below the peak of the Third Stage of the Emperor Wu would allow him to temporarily not have to fear the Heavenly Dao. During the period when the Heavenly Dao was completely dormant, the threat of the almighty experts who had broken through the Emperor Wu's realm and the revenge from the Shang Clan would also allow him to enter the forbidden areas of the Endless Forest and Death Swamp to obtain the heaven-defying opportunities that he had lost in his previous life.
Forcefully suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yu Haoran planned to continue observing the contestants. Suddenly, the huge leaderboard above the square began to shake.
As the leaderboard shook, not only did it begin to shrink, the names on the leaderboard also began to move.
Raising his hand to signal Qin Lingfei and the rest to his side, Yu Haoran reminded them softly.
"The second round of the semi-finals is about to begin."
After hearing Yu Haoran's reminder, whether it was the dissatisfied Qin Lingfei, the happy Yu Siqi and Lan Xin, or the depressed Lin Xuan, all of them nervously looked up at the leaderboard and the rules of the second round of the semi-finals.
After seeing the rules of the semi-finals at the bottom left corner of the leaderboard, Yu Haoran and the rest of the people around him couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
After passing the three stages in the first round of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, there were a total of 23,968 contestants left to participate in the second round of the semi-finals.
According to the rules of the semi-finals, there were two rounds in the semi-finals.
In the first round, the 23,968 contestants would be evenly divided into 100 teams. Then, they would engage in a free-for-all battle on the 100 arenas in the middle of the plaza.
If you could last until there were only ten people left, you would win the first round of the semi-finals.
In the second round of the semi-finals, the 1,000 victorious contestants would be redistributed, and then they would participate in the ranking competition. In the end, the contestant that obtained first place in the arena would not only obtain a spot to participate in the Hidden Dragon Rankings, but they would also obtain a portion of Hidden Dragon Karmic Luck.
Of course, the amount of the Hidden Dragon Fate depended on your ranking in the final round.
"In the first round of the semi-finals, you need to display your thunderous methods right from the start. You must not reveal the slightest bit of cowardice. Otherwise, you will easily become the target of others' attacks." Yu Haoran made the best use of the time to instruct the contestants when the rankings board was allocating the contestants.
"Husband, what if you're targeted on purpose?" Qin Lingfei asked nervously.
"You can either work with the other contestants on the stage or use a defensive magic artifact to last until the end," Yu Haoran reminded her solemnly.
There were 23,968 contestants participating in the first round of the semi-finals. Even if they were divided into 100 stages, there would still be more than 230 contestants on each stage.
In the past year, Emperor Qin had offended many families in the Southern Region and the Central Region in order to gather the Southern Region's Fate to help him break through to the Martial Venerable Realm.
He did not know if the elite disciples of these families would take advantage of the first round of the semi-finals to take revenge.
Yu Haoran did not care if the 37 elite disciples of the Imperial Family who passed the preliminary round would be retaliated against. What he really cared about was Qin Lingfei's safety.
Although he had given her enough pills to recover her Yuanli and Divine Soul in advance, he considered that if too many people retaliated against her, she would consume too much energy and would not be able to last until the end of the competition. He immediately took out two drops of Thousand Drug Liquid from his Storage Ring and a green gourd filled with pure Spiritual Liquid. He forced them into her hands and warned her.
"If you're really besieged by many contestants, the two drops of Thousand Drug Liquid will allow you to recover to your peak state in an instant. The pure Spiritual Liquid in the green gourd will be directly poured into the Nine Star Pearl Magic Artifact to last until the end of the competition."
Qin Lingfei had set the ultimate goal for herself to pass the second round of the semi-finals and be able to participate in the Five Regions Hidden Dragon Rankings with Yu Haoran.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to accept the Thousand Drug Liquid and pure Spiritual Liquid that Yu Haoran had given her. She directly put them into her Storage Ring.
Considering that he had offended many factions in the Southern and Central Regions in the past two years, he was worried that his sister, Blue Heart, The Sword Without Trace, Wu Zhengjun, and Lin Xuan might be targeted. Apart from secretly giving his sister two drops of Thousand Drug Liquid, he also gave everyone present many Spirit Medicines that could replenish their Yuanli and Soul Power. He also gave The Sword Without Trace and Blue Heart a top-grade Saint Stage defensive magic artifact each.
By the time Yu Haoran had made all the necessary arrangements, the ranking board above the square had already allocated the participants for the battle royale and the competition arena.
When he saw that his family and friends were allocated to different stages, his heart could not help but sink slightly.
Fortunately, he had already made sufficient preparations. The rest of the competition would depend on everyone's hard work and luck.
Stage Eight was where he would be participating in the first round of the semi-finals.
Looking up at the contestants who had already entered Stage Eight, Yu Haoran did not waste any time. He lightly waved his sleeve and a powerful force directly sent him to the stage three meters high.
Seeing Yu Haoran land on the stage, the dozen or so contestants in the middle of the stage immediately revealed complicated expressions of hatred, fear, worry, and thought.
Looking at his next opponents, Yu Haoran also discovered the dozen or so people who had grievances with him.
His response to this was to ignore them.
After all, the strongest of the dozen or so elite disciples from the Southern Regions was only a mid-Ninth-grade Martial Saint. They might not even be able to resist the terrifying aura that he emitted. They were really not worthy of his attention.
