After all, after the first round of the competition, all the participants were clearly aware that there wasn't a single weakling amongst those that were able to participate in the Groom Search Competition this time.
The fact that there was an empty slot in the second round had obviously attracted their attention. If they could directly enter the third round without a slot, it would undoubtedly be an extremely fortunate thing. That was because, among the remaining fifteen people, other than a few, the majority of them had experienced a bitter battle before they were able to emerge victorious.
Their condition would more or less be affected. If they could obtain a bye at this moment, they would have sufficient time to recover their condition and face the third round of the competition.
Therefore, in an instant, quite a few people started drooling over the empty slot. This slot was something that even Fenghao was extremely moved by. After all, he could avoid a battle and easily enter the third round.
A moment later, under the supervision of the Xuan Dao Valley's elder, the fifteen people who entered the second round stood on the Heavenly Martial Stage and began to draw lots for the second round.
With Huangfu Jinglei in the lead, the row of people began to draw lots one by one. Feng Hao was the last one. He looked at the jade strip in his hand and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Because the jade strip in his hand didn't have a number.
In other words, Feng Hao was the empty slot in the second round.
It had to be due to luck. At this moment, Yue Huang glanced at the jade strip in Fenghao's hand. When she saw that there wasn't any serial number on it, she couldn't help bitterly smiling. "Brat, you're really lucky."
"That's right. It's a pity that my number is 5. I still don't know who will be my opponent." Nangong Wuji said gloomily. If he was the one with the empty slot, then it wouldn't be too bad.
"It's a pity that I can't change it. Otherwise, I could give it to you." Fenghao said with a smile. To him, this empty slot was not very important. It only allowed him to skip a round of battles and relax a little, that's all.
"Those without a number in your hand, please step forward."
The Xuan Dao Valley's elder said slowly as he scanned the fifteen people. Only luck would determine who would obtain the spot.
Hearing this, under the envious gazes of the crowd, Feng Hao slowly walked out and casually handed over the jade scroll. The Xuan Dao Valley elder took a look and nodded, indicating that Feng Hao could easily enter the third round.
Huangfu Jinglei couldn't help but furrow his brows when he saw that it was actually Feng Hao who got a bye, but he didn't say anything. On the other hand, Tian Gang was slightly surprised, but soon after, he shook his head in amusement. It seemed that Feng Hao's luck was pretty good.
"His luck has always been pretty good."
At this moment, on the viewing platform, Tong Tian saw that Fenghao had been given a bye. Evidently, he laughed and said, "In this way, he can smoothly enter the third round."
"Actually, it doesn't matter much to him whether he's the one who obtained the position or not." Huangfu Wushuang chuckled from the side because she understood Fenghao very well.
Seeing Huangfu Wushuang's blind trust in Feng Hao, Tongtian smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Emperor Le's face changed when he found out who his opponent was. The number in his hand was 1, and the other one was in Huangfu Jinglei's hand.
In other words, Emperor Le's opponent in the second round was Huangfu Jinglei.
When Feng Hao and Nangong Wuji heard this news, they couldn't help but be stunned. It could only be said that Emperor Le was really going to fight Huangfu Jinglei again.
"Oh, let me see, number 5." Nangong Wuji also began to search for his opponent. A moment later, joy appeared on his face and he couldn't help but exclaim in excitement, "It's really that unlucky fellow."
The unlucky guy he was talking about was naturally the last person in the first round, the one who had been heavily injured in the last battle. Nangong Wuji wasn't too worried if he had to face him.
"It seems like I'm the unlucky one." Emperor Le couldn't help letting out a long sigh. This could only mean that he was unlucky to have drawn an opponent like Huangfu Jinglei in the second round.
To be honest, Le Huang didn't have much confidence in Huangfu JingLei. After all, Huangfu JingLei had been taught by Tongtian since he was young, but she wasn't. In the entire High Heaven Peak, there was only one person in the younger generation who was qualified to fight against Huangfu JingLei, and that was Le Huang's elder brother.
"If there's no other way, just admit defeat. There's no shame in losing to him."
At this moment, Feng Hao softly said. He knew what Emperor Le was thinking. After all, Emperor Le didn't represent himself, but the entire High Sky Peak. If Emperor Le lost this battle, others might say that the High Sky Peak was inferior to the Xuandao Valley.
"I know what you're trying to say." Emperor Le shook his head. After a brief moment, he revealed a relaxed expression and said, "Truth be told, I'm not confident in defeating him."
"Then why don't you give up?" Nangong Wuji pondered for a brief moment. Under such circumstances, they weren't on the same level.
"No, I can't give up." Emperor Le immediately rejected Nangong Wuji's suggestion and said, "No matter what, I will fight him again. He defeated me in a single move many years ago, so I want to see if he can still defeat me so easily."
A raging fighting intent gradually appeared in Emperor Le's tone. To him, this wasn't just a battle, but a challenge to himself.
That's right, Huangfu Jinglei was powerful, and he could even defeat him in a single move in the past. But after so many years, Huangfu Jinglei had also been improving. What happened many years ago was akin to a knot in Emperor Le's heart.
However, only by untying this knot and facing Huangfu Jinglei once again would Emperor Le be able to make further progress on the path of martial arts.
"Don't force yourself." Feng Hao took a deep breath and patted Emperor Le's shoulder, indicating that he shouldn't put too much pressure on himself.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Furthermore, I also want to help you force out a portion of his strength. I don't believe that he's so heaven-defying." The Music Empress grinned as she spoke without a care in the world.
