After Linlong signed up, the matchups were quickly determined. There were exactly thirty-two people in total, and they were divided into four groups. Each group had eight people, and Linlong was in the fourth group.
There were four martial arts arenas on the plaza, and each group could use one martial arts arena.
There were quite a few forces participating, but there were only thirty-two people. This meant that these forces had sent out all their elites, and the weaker ones had no chance to participate at all.
This was normal. After all, they were not here to spar, but to fight for first place and the chance to marry Qian Yurou.
Not long after Linlong arrived at the fourth training platform, the competition officially began. First, the people in his group walked up to the stage, and one of the Towering Palace elders who was in charge of being the judge introduced them. Linlong gained a simple understanding of his other seven opponents.
As he swept his gaze over them, he basically memorized their appearances. As for their basic strength, he also had a rough idea.
Among the seven people, some looked elegant, some had gloomy expressions, and some had wretched expressions. However, most of them had a common trait, and that was arrogance.
After all, they were the elites of their respective forces, and there were few people who could rival them in the same stage, whether in their own sects or sects.
Linlong didn't care about the strength of these people at all. Hence, he merely glanced at them.
With just that one glance, he discovered that three of them had a faint hostility towards him.
Linlong could not help but smile. It was very clear that the young sect master of the Nayun Sky Sect had told them to come and teach him a lesson.
Apart from this, Linlong could not think of any other reason, because he did not seem to be special at the moment.
The competition was divided into four groups of eight. Only the winners could advance to the next stage, and the losers would be directly eliminated.
The teams were divided by drawing lots, and Linlong was very lucky to draw a man who was hostile towards him. This man had an extremely feminine appearance, and once he stepped onto the stage, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Then, he cupped his hands and said, "Yin Yu Sect's Lu Rong."
"Myriad Beasts Sect's Lin Feng," Linlong said.
"I've heard that the Thousand Beasts Sect is really lacking in talent, and they're only sending someone like Brother Lin to fight. I really feel sorry for the Thousand Beasts Sect." Lu Rong shook his head. His tone was filled with contempt as he continued, "Brother Lin, I, Lu Rong, do not like to show mercy to my enemies. Hence, I hope you won't take offense if I accidentally injure you."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the second stage. When he saw that An Yun's attention was focused on his stage, he immediately signaled An Yun with a look that said, "Don't worry."
When An Yun saw Lv Rong's expression, he nodded his head and turned his head in relief. He placed his attention on the practice stage in front of him.
An Yun had originally wanted to teach Linlong a lesson himself. Unfortunately, he wasn't in the same group as Linlong. Thus, he found Lv Rong and the others and had them teach Linlong a lesson on his behalf.
Of course, he could also find a chance to teach Lu Rong a lesson after the martial arts competition, but how could he wait that long? Not to mention, asking someone like Lv Rong to deal with Lu Rong would show that he, An Yun, had a lot of connections, and was someone that the tiny Thousand Beasts Sect could not afford to offend.
"Brother Lv, of course. After all, fists and feet have no eyes." Linlong said indifferently.
"Sigh, to be honest, I, Lv Rong, am not usually like this. It's just that today, someone told me to teach you a lesson. So, Brother Lin, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have." At this time, Lv Rong naturally pointed out this point.
"It's that An Yun, right? Since Brother Lv wants to be his lackey, then please be heavy-handed." Linlong had long seen the exchange between Lv Rong and An Yun.
When he heard this, Lv Rong's expression immediately changed. He immediately shouted, "Kid from the Thousand Beasts Sect, watch your mouth!"
After he finished speaking, his heart was boiling with anger. He wanted to teach Linlong a lesson immediately, so he directly used a martial technique and rushed over.
When Lv Rong rushed over, Linlong felt a cold wind blowing around him. He immediately saw through some of Lv Rong's martial technique.
The Yinyu Sect's cultivation technique was slightly related to the demonic path. Otherwise, it would not have such an effect.
However, it was only slightly related to the demonic path. It was completely incomparable to Zhang Yuhan's demonic energy. So, how could he be a match for the spiritual fire? Even if it was an ordinary spiritual fire, it was not something that he could easily block.
However, Linlong did not intend to use his spiritual fire against Lv Rong. After using a defensive martial technique from the Thousand Beasts Sect, he directly blocked Lv Rong's attack.
Linlong did not use his full strength, so the two of them seemed to be evenly matched.
Even though it was a draw, Lu Rong's expression changed because he knew that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was not an expert in martial arts or cultivation techniques, but in tamed beasts. His opponent had not even summoned his tamed spiritual beast and was still able to fight him to a draw. If he summoned his spiritual beast, how could he possibly be a match for his opponent?
With that thought in mind, he immediately used the move he was most proficient in, intending to finish off his opponent as quickly as possible to prevent any undue delay from causing trouble.
"Kid, die!"
As he shouted, an even more powerful force immediately swept towards Linlong. In the face of such a force, the cold wind from before seemed even thicker.
Linlong naturally did not care about his opponent's attack.
To be honest, with his current strength, he could simply finish off his opponent with one move. However, in order to not be too shocking, he did not do so. Instead, he did what the ordinary disciples of the Thousand Beasts Sect would do, which was to quickly retreat and then release his own spirit beast.
Linlong released the Raging Flame Beast.
Similarly, Linlong ordered the Raging Flame Beast to restrain the flames on its body. After that, under the powerful attack of the Raging Flame Beast, Lv Rong was directly pounced on by the Raging Flame Beast.
Of course, if Linlong had not secretly ordered the Raging Flame Beast, with the Raging Flame Beast's true strength, Lv Rong would not be a match at all.
As soon as Lv Rong was pounced on, the Raging Flame Beast immediately opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Lv Rong. Lv Rong was shocked and instinctively stretched out his hand to block it. This block saved his life, but his arm was directly bitten off by the Raging Flame Beast.
"Ah …" Lv Rong immediately screamed.
"What kind of spirit beast is this? How can it be so powerful!"
Seeing that the Raging Flame Beast was so ferocious and that Lv Rong, whose strength was already close to the Lv 9 Martial Master Realm, was defeated so quickly, the people below the stage were all shocked.
As Lv Rong screamed miserably, the elder of the Towering Firmament Palace who was acting as the referee immediately shouted. "The winner has been decided!"
Upon hearing this, Linlong immediately ordered the Raging Flame Beast to retreat.
If he did not do so, the elder of the Towering Firmament Palace would definitely immediately attack. Linlong did not want to offend the other party.
At the same time, three people from the Yin Yu Sect immediately flew to Lv Rong's side on the stage. Two of them helped Lv Rong to stop the bleeding and bandage his wounds.
The other middle-aged man looked coldly at Linlong.
"Fists and feet have no eyes. Brother Lv already reminded me just now, but I failed to do so. I am truly sorry." Linlong pretended to be very apologetic.
However, how could the people from the Yin Yu Sect not hear the mockery in his words? Lv Rong was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This time, becoming Qian Ping's son-in-law was already just a dream for him. What was even more depressing was that he actually had to pay with an arm. He knew that if he wanted to heal this arm, he did not know how much effort it would take. Needless to say, his cultivation would fall.
However, since things had already come to this, what else could he do?
"Brat, very good. The Yin Yu Sect will remember this grudge!" After fiercely spitting out such words, the middle-aged man then said to the other two, "Let's go."
With that, he and the other two people carried Lv Rong off the Martial Arts Practice Stage.
The elder of the Towering Firmament Palace was completely indifferent to all of this. Instead, he expressionlessly shouted, "The next round will begin."
Not long after, the four rounds of competition had already ended. In the end, apart from Linlong, there were two other people who actually had enmity towards him.
This is quite interesting. Thinking of this, Linlong could not help but reveal a trace of a smile on his face.
After a short rest, the four people began to fight in pairs again.
Linlong was once again lucky enough to encounter one of the two people.
This person had a larger build. His upper body was bare, and the muscles that were revealed were all bulging. The most frightening thing was that these muscles were actually covered in scars, and some of the scars were clearly fresh.
Linlong could tell at a glance that this person cultivated a cultivation method and martial technique that leaned towards body techniques.
This kind of person was very strong, and his defense was also very strong. Linlong could see this from his battle with the other person just now.
However, this kind of strength was only compared to others. To Linlong and the Raging Flame Beast, it was not even worth mentioning.
"Brat, let me, Fang Hu, teach you a lesson on behalf of Young Sect Master An!"
This Fang Hu was clearly the kind of person who did not speak much. After shouting such a sentence, he immediately rushed towards Linlong.
In the midst of such an impact, the large hand actually grabbed towards Linlong like a cattail leaf fan. The powerful force even directly fanned towards Linlong.
Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to directly squash Linlong into a meat patty. However, he did not succeed because the Raging Flame Beast, who had been eyeing him covetously, had already rushed forward.
What the Raging Flame Beast displayed earlier was only ferociousness and great strength. Therefore, this Fang Hu did not even pay attention to it.
Seeing that the Raging Flame Beast was rushing over, his large hand immediately swept towards the Raging Flame Beast.
In his opinion, even if his palm could not send the Raging Flame Beast flying, it should be able to knock it out.
However, he was wrong. Because the Raging Flame Beast's figure flashed, it actually dodged his dodge, and directly bit towards his body.
Startled, his other hand quickly swept towards the front of his chest. Who knew that the Raging Flame Beast would actually jump directly behind him. Worried that he would be sneak-attacked, he quickly turned around.
At that moment, a man and a beast just like that, just like that, circled around the martial arts field.
However, how could Fang Hu, whose body was originally not nimble, turn around the Raging Flame Beast? At this moment, his weakness was infinitely magnified by the Raging Flame Beast.
Understanding that he was not this spirit beast's opponent, he quickly raised his hands and surrendered. Fortunately, he surrendered early, otherwise, he would definitely end up like Lu Rong.
