The arena was a one-on-one duel. The ten people were divided into five groups to compete. Hayashikawa was placed in the third group. His opponent was a young man at the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage, a powerhouse who had obtained second place in the Martial Arts Tournament.
As the staff of the Martial Arts Tournament announced the start of the Martial Arts Tournament, two members of the first group stepped onto the center of the Martial Arts Tournament. One of them was the champion of the previous Martial Arts Tournament, Xue Xiao!
Hayashikawa's gaze fell on Xue Xiao. He was rather interested in this rogue cultivator. To be able to reach this stage on his own showed that his talent was very strong. He was definitely an extremely hardworking person.
When the surrounding audience saw Xue Xiao, they were more or less interested in watching the battle. Cheers rang out again. Xue Xiao did not disappoint the crowd. He defeated his opponent within ten moves and walked down the Martial Arts Tournament suavely.
"As expected of the champion of the previous Martial Arts Tournament. There is nothing to say about his strength. I just don't know who is stronger between him and that black-clothed youth!" Someone in the audience was discussing.
"That goes without saying. That black-clothed youth is definitely stronger! He can release spells! "A young man immediately said.
"That's not necessarily true. If the black-clothed youth was at his peak, he would naturally be able to defeat Xue Xiao. However, you saw his previous situation. Not to mention releasing spells, even being able to complete the match is a problem!" Someone said disdainfully.
The young man pouted. Although he did not agree with this person's point of view, he had nothing to refute. He could only say to himself, "Anyway, I think that the black-clothed youth is strong. Everyone else is trash in front of him!"
The second round of the Martial Arts Tournament was completed peacefully. The scene that had caused a sensation in the past had disappeared. Everyone's eyes were focused in one direction — Hayashikawa!
Finally, under the gaze of the crowd, Hayashikawa slowly walked out and walked towards the center of the Martial Arts Tournament. The entire Martial Arts Tournament was boiling in an instant. The originally lifeless atmosphere became lively in the blink of an eye.
Facing Hayashikawa, his opponent was clearly uneasy. His face was pale, and he thought to himself that he was really unlucky to have met Hayashikawa, the strongest person, in the first round of the arena.
Hayashikawa came to the bottom of the ring, his right foot fiercely stomped on the ground, and flew into the arena. But before he could stand firm, the youth in front of him spoke directly.
"Can you still cast spells …?"
"You'll know if you try!" Hayashikawa answered. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, as if he was about to form a seal.
The young man's face immediately paled as he yelled, "I admit defeat!" He then turned and jumped off the stage, causing everyone to stare in shock.
In an instant, sounds of disdain and abuse resounded throughout the arena. The top ten cultivators who had been in the limelight just a moment ago were now like rats on the street. They were being loudly cursed, and the only thing missing was vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
Hayashikawa was speechless. He silently put down his hands, looked around, and turned to walk down.
"Just nice, I can rest a bit more!" Hayashikawa thought to himself.
Amidst the cursing, the five matches ended just like that. Other than Hayashikawa and Xue Xiao, there were three other winners. One of them was the dark horse in his twenties!
This person had remained very calm from beginning to end. In every battle, he seemed to have used all his strength, but the next time he encountered a stronger opponent, he still looked as if he had used all his strength. His mysterious style attracted the gazes of many people, who looked forward to his battle with Hayashikawa or Xue Xiao.
In the second round of battles, Hayashikawa was selected to have a bye. The other four continued to compete, but the ordinary battles were even more boring than the first round. They wished they could just skip this round and watch Hayashikawa's exciting battle at the end.
As if purposely keeping people in suspense, the person selected to have a bye in the third round was still Hayashikawa. This made all the spectators gnash their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
The two winners of the second round were about to enter the third round. The winner would fight with Hayashikawa to determine tonight's number one.
As expected, one of them was Xue Xiao, and the other was that unknown, ordinary young man.
Standing in the middle of the arena, Xue Xiao looked curiously at the youth across from him. For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with this youth's aura. Sometimes it was ethereal, sometimes it was powerful and mysterious, giving him an unfathomable feeling. However, deep in his heart, Xue Xiao could feel a strong sense of danger.
"To be able to make it this far, you are indeed not an ordinary person. Then, it looks like I will have to use all my strength in this round!" Xue Xiao gradually put away his playful attitude, and his expression became focused and serious.
"My only opponent is that black-clothed youth. You have never been in my consideration. I advise you to admit defeat!" The ordinary-looking youth finally bared his fangs at this moment because at this moment, no one could stop his footsteps.
Even if it was Hayashikawa, he was not afraid!
"What arrogance, but my target is also the black-clothed youth. It looks like I will have to take you down first!" Xue Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp aura was suddenly released.
Hayashikawa stood below the arena and watched silently, looking very innocent!
"If there are no objections, I will announce the start of the battle …" However, just as the referee was about to announce the start of the battle, a youth who looked somewhat similar to Xue Xiao suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Xue Xiao admits defeat, forfeit the battle!"
Xue Xiao's expression changed, and he immediately roared, "Brother, what are you doing!!!"
"We will talk later. You have already admitted defeat, come down!" Xue Ling said with a silent gaze.
"I …" Xue Xiao wanted to say something, but he was stopped by his brother's stern gaze. Ever since his parents had passed away, it had always been his brother who had taken care of him. At this moment, he really could not refute his brother's decision. He could only jump down from the arena with a dark expression and leave with Xue Ling.
This dramatic scene once again made the audience's jaws drop. While they secretly cursed their bad luck, everyone turned their attention back to the arena. Xue Xiao's admission of defeat had directly caused the final battle to be brought forward. As the finale, it was finally time for Hayashikawa to enter the arena.
"Brother! Why did you stop my battle? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will … "Xue Xiao roared angrily.
"You will what? Hmm? " Xue Ling's cold gaze turned towards his younger brother, causing the latter to swallow the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
"I stopped you because you are not that person's match!" Xue Ling retracted his gaze and explained coldly.
"Without a battle, no one can say who will win or lose. In my opinion, that person is not my match!" Xue Xiao said confidently.
"My foolish younger brother, do you really think that we can interfere in the battle between the eight great clans?" Xue Ling said after a moment of silence. "That person! He is not a Qi Refinement cultivator at all! "
