The Tushita Palace and the Faro Gate could only be considered average among the high-tier forces. The fighters they selected were all experts in the Second Tier of the Shattering Realm. A battle of this level would naturally not attract much attention.
However, the battle between Cao Yin and Yan Miao was evenly matched. The battle was extremely intense, and it was a good start for the competition. In the end, Cao Yin defeated Yan Miao with a slight advantage and successfully advanced to the next round.
The battle between the two was extremely intense. It only took the time for half an incense stick to burn. For ordinary fighters, half an incense stick's time was like the blink of an eye.
The next round of drawing lots was another two unranked high-tier forces. In a few breaths' time, the winner was decided.
After drawing lots for a hundred rounds, there still weren't any experts that everyone was familiar with. This caused the arena battles to become slightly dull and boring.
"Zhan Haotian of the Dragonblood Sect and Ling Fei of the Royal Sect!"
At that moment, Gu Meng read out the names of the two fighters, causing a wave of screams. Both Zhan Haotian and Ling Fei were famous figures in the Tong Province.
The former was the descendant of Haotian's Dou Zun. Although he had been defeated by the Dragonblood Martial Emperor, his strength had left a deep impression on everyone.
As for Ling Fei of the Royal Sect, he was also quite famous. He was the number one genius of the Royal Sect. Even the sect master was far weaker than him. His Royal Ancient Fist was extremely powerful.
Be it in terms of strength or reputation, the two of them were evenly matched. Once they started fighting, it would definitely be a fierce battle.
"Ling Fei, I've heard of this person before."
Ye Mo looked at Ling Fei and sighed inwardly. He had originally thought that only the four sects had experts that could threaten them. Now, it seemed like he was gravely mistaken.
Looking at Ling Fei's aura, Ye Mo felt that he was extremely powerful. He had the domineering aura of an emperor and the arrogance of a king. The combination of these two auras was extremely powerful.
However, although Ling Fei was powerful, Ye Mo still had great confidence in Zhan Haotian.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The two attacked the arena at the same time.
"Zhan Haotian, you don't have to fight this battle!"
Gu Tianyuan suddenly said loudly.
"Hmm?"
Ye Mo raised his eyebrows. Looking at Gu Tianyuan, who wasn't far away, he said, "Gu Tianyuan, Zhan Haotian is currently my man. Do you think he'll listen to your orders?"
Gu Tianyuan was ridiculous. He thought he could make Zhan Haotian admit defeat with just a few words. If Ye Mo hadn't thoroughly investigated Zhan Haotian's character, he wouldn't have allowed Zhan Haotian to participate in the competition.
Furthermore, once Zhan Haotian admitted defeat, it would be practically impossible for the Dragonblood Sect to seize control of Baoyue City.
"Gu Tianyuan, I am now a subordinate of the Dragon Blood Martial Emperor. Thus, it is impossible for me to admit defeat."
Zhan Haotian shook his head.
"Zhan Haotian, don't forget how I saved you back then. If it wasn't for me, would you still be alive today?"
Gu Tianyuan flew into a rage.
"Gu Tianyuan, back then, you told me to challenge the Dragonblood Martial Emperor to a life-and-death duel. I lost to him, so I should have died. Now, just treat it as if I'm already dead. Wait three years after I die. At that time, I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Zhan Haotian was very sincere. Since he had agreed to be loyal to Ye Mo, he would naturally give it his all.
"Zhan Haotian, I've heard of your name. But in this battle, the loser will be you," Ling Fei said.
His body emitted a powerful Royal Aura. His body charged forward, instantly appearing before Zhan Haotian. Suddenly, he punched out. The Royal Aura reached Zhan Haotian's chest.
Zhan Haotian's expression changed slightly. His hand grabbed Ling Fei's fist. No matter how strong his Royal Aura was, Zhan Haotian's Haotian Force was able to break through it bit by bit.
"Is this the Royal Aura? It's a pity that you haven't cultivated the true Royal Aura, "Zhan Haotian said calmly.
"The true Royal Aura carries the aura of a sovereign descending upon the world, capable of suppressing all heroes. Your strength is still too weak."
As he spoke, Zhan Haotian's arm shook, sending out a powerful Haotian Force, forcing Ling Fei to break free from Zhan Haotian's grasp.
Ye Mo looked at the two of them. He could tell that their fighting styles were similar, and their strength levels were similar as well. If he wanted to determine the winner, it would be up to each other's techniques.
But, judging from the current situation, Zhan Haotian was clearly winning.
Their fists and legs clashed continuously, causing a shocking commotion. In the end, Zhan Haotian seemed to have no desire to continue fighting. Wielding his axe, he activated the Heavenly Thunder. With a swing of the axe, the Haotian Divine Lightning was infused into the axe before it struck down ferociously.
Ling Fei immediately felt the danger. He continuously activated all sorts of techniques to block. But in the end, he was unable to block the attack of the Heavenly Thunder. His chest was directly hit by the axe, and his entire body was sent flying, blood spurting out of his mouth.
Hua!
The result caused an uproar in the entire square. Ling Fei had ultimately lost to Zhan Haotian. An expert who had a chance of entering the top ten had been eliminated just like that.
And because of Ling Fei's elimination, the Emperor Palace had no chance of participating in this competition.
The following duels in the arena fell into a depressed state again. Both Qi Tiandi and Ming Zhenwu went up to the arena. However, the opponents they encountered were very weak. They did not need to use much strength at all to defeat their opponents. As for Ming Zhenwu, he deliberately put on a black robe in order to hide his identity.
As for the three from the Tianyuan Clan, their opponents were also extremely weak, and they easily defeated their opponents.
All in all, apart from the battle between Zhan Haotian and Ling Fei that was somewhat interesting in the first round of elimination, the other battles were not worth watching at all.
After two hours of competition, half of the 600 contestants had been successfully eliminated, leaving only 300 contestants.
Next up was the second round of elimination.
There was no suspense in this round. Almost all the experts from the big sects had advanced to the next round. After this round, there were only 150 people left.
Following that, they advanced to the fourth round, the fifth round, and the sixth round.
There were only 18 people left in the arena.
Among them, the three from the Tianyuan Clan, the Ancient Spider Mother, Tie Wushan, and Huangfu Dao had all made it to the top 18. Qi Tiandi, Zhan Haotian, and Ming Zhenwu from the Dragonblood Sect had also made it to the top 18. The experts chosen by the Fire Spirit Sect, the Heart Severing Valley, and the Sword Principle Sect had all made it to the top 18. Together with the three from the other three sects, there were exactly 18 people.
Next would be the cruelest elimination round. The winner would successfully enter the top nine. As for the tenth place, it would be chosen from the nine eliminated people.
Therefore, the following battles were extremely crucial.
