In the middle of the night, the lights in the Third Northwestern Courtyard were still on.
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Qi instantly frowned.
His expression froze, and there was even a hint of murderous intent. He looked at Lu An sharply as if he wanted to skin Lu An alive.
Of course, he did have the ability to do so, but Lu An was not afraid. Instead, he looked up and met Qi's gaze.
He was sure that Qi would not dare to touch him.
Although he was an outsider, Sengoku's motto was to destroy the Deviant Arts, which meant that they fought for the right path. They would never kill the innocent. If they killed someone maliciously, they would be doomed. Of course, more importantly, he was Jun's disciple.
As Lu An expected, although Qi looked at him with a sinister gaze, he did not make a move. Finally, Qi took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing." Lu An said lightly, "If you're here for this, I've already given you the answer. If there's nothing else, can you leave now? "
Upon hearing this, Qi's expression became even more serious. He suddenly realized that the outsider in front of him was not easy to deal with. He thought that if he rewarded him with two immortal arts, he would happily agree.
"So you don't plan to leave?" Qi said coldly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Sengoku is not without danger. Don't fall to your death by accident. You won't even have a place to cry. "
Upon hearing this, Lu An nodded and said with a smile, "Understood. I will share your advice with others and let them know how friendly you are to me."
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Qi frowned and wanted to say something, but he could not.
In the end, Qi snorted and left.
Looking at Qi's leaving figure, the smile on Lu An's face gradually disappeared and became serious. He got up, closed the door, and returned to his bedroom. Sitting on the bed, he frowned.
He knew that if Qi made a move on him, he would not have a chance to fight back. Moreover, it was better to be safe than sorry. Although he did not think that Qi would kill him, it would be bad if Qi went berserk.
No matter what, he had to keep a low profile in Sengoku in the future. Once he fully grasped the Dragon Catching Technique, he would leave this place immediately.

The next morning.
Everyone woke up early again. After all, it was only the second day of the competition. After yesterday's battle, there were only a little more than a hundred people left. However, these people had at least gone through the first round of elimination, so their average strength was naturally much higher than yesterday's.
When Lu An arrived at the arena alone from his courtyard, he went directly to the side of the grandstand. At this moment, the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress had already arrived. Their three children, Chen, Qing, and Yao, were also present. Seeing Lu An arrive, Yao Yao happily waved her hand.
Soon, Lu An arrived in front of everyone. After bowing respectfully one by one, he sat on the outermost side. Because there was still some time before the match would begin, Yao Yao got up and went to Lu An's side.
"How is it? Do you have confidence in today's match?" Yao seemed to be a little excited as he asked.
"No." Lu An smiled bitterly and said honestly, "My opponent's strength is equivalent to a Level 3 Heavenly Master. I don't stand a chance."
Hearing Lu An's words, Yao Yao frowned and her beautiful face became troubled. She did not want Lu An to lose, but she did not know what to do.
Looking at Yao Yao's troubled look, Lu An smiled and said, "Although I lost, you should be able to advance. I saw your opponent today. He's slightly weaker than you. "
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Yao Yao stuck out her tongue and said, "After yesterday's victory, I was so happy that I did not notice who my opponent was."
Lu An smiled. After exchanging a few more words with Yao Yao, Yao Yao was called back by Chen. After Yao Yao left, Chen even glanced at Lu An. His gaze was slightly cold, as if he was guarding against a thief.
Lu An did not mind. Instead, he turned to look at the arena. Soon, everyone had arrived. The host entered the arena and quickly announced the start of the match.
Again, there was no opening speech. The first group of contestants entered the arena. After the command was given, the battle began.
The battle was intense. Everyone had already passed the first stage. It was obvious that everyone wanted to advance further. Especially the two contestants who opened the match. No one wanted to embarrass themselves when everyone was paying the most attention.
However, reality was always cruel. In less than half an incense's time, one of them fell to the ground and could not get up. Amidst the cheers, the first match ended and the second match began …
Then, the third match, the fourth match …
After the fourth match ended, the entire arena burst into applause. However, the funny thing was that the applause was not for the brilliance of the battle. Instead, it was for the end of the fourth match.
The fourth match had finally ended. Because the fifth match would be Princess Yao's turn.
Because everyone paid too much attention to Princess Yao's appearance, everyone clearly remembered the number of times she would appear. As expected, when the host shouted for the fifth match to begin, Yao Yao stood up from the spectator's stand.
In an instant, the entire arena burst into applause. Everyone liked Princess Yao. She was simply everyone's favorite. In addition to the powerful strength she displayed yesterday, everyone liked her even more.
There were even people who kept shouting the two words' Princess'. And amidst such an atmosphere, Yao Yao and her opponent walked towards the center of the arena.
Just like yesterday's opponent, when that person stood in front of Yao Yao, he first bowed and saluted, sincerely expressing his respect for Yao Yao. Then, he stood up and prepared for battle.
After the host announced the start of the match, her opponent immediately retreated. Like everyone else, he prepared to launch a long-range attack.
However, right at this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Unlike yesterday, Yao Yao did not widen the distance between them. Instead, her eyes turned cold, and she directly charged towards her opponent!
This scene stunned everyone. Furthermore, everyone shockingly discovered that when she suddenly charged over, two daggers appeared in Princess Yao's hands, and she held them in reverse!
The appearance of this scene directly caused many people to look at Lu An who was beside the main seat of the spectator stand, including Yuan's family. Everyone frowned.
However, they only took a glance, and immediately looked towards the battle in the arena. They watched as Yao Yao charged towards her opponent and quickly caught up to him!
When that opponent saw Yao Yao charging over, he more or less panicked in his heart. He knew that his strength was lower than Princess Yao's, but the princess actually charged over. In his opinion, she was giving him a chance!
Although the princess was a princess, he still had to win!
Countless long belts instantly appeared around him, and they flew straight towards Yao Yao. These long belts wrapped around Yao Yao from all directions, completely trapping her within!
However, there was no trace of panic in Yao Yao's eyes. Instead, they were filled with determination.
She quickly waved the daggers in her hands. Her speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly, and she quickly cut off the divine energy in all directions. She did not even need to turn her head to see the attacks coming from behind her. Obviously, she had mastered some kind of sensing technique!
Suddenly, Yao Yao's body spun rapidly. In an instant, blade energy shot out from her spinning figure, cutting off all the divine energy in the surroundings. Then, she arrived in front of her opponent!
Her opponent obviously did not expect the princess to be so proficient in using daggers. When he saw the princess in front of him, he immediately clapped his hands. In an instant, a huge white shield appeared, blocking in front of the princess!
Just when he thought he could take a breather, a 'ding' sound came from the shield. Then, a figure suddenly appeared at the side of the shield!
The princess did not intend to break the shield at all. Instead, she went around to the side and attacked him again!
The following battle made everyone feel the shadow of yesterday's battle.
Princess Yao had been relying on her powerful close-combat skills to suppress her opponent's attacks, forcing him to be unable to use any divine arts. Her opponent's close-combat skills were obviously not as good as Princess Yao's, and he was quickly defeated.
When the battle ended, Princess Yao did not even use up too much energy. This was a little different from what most people expected. Because in their opinion, although her opponent was weaker than Princess Yao, the difference was not by much. At the very least, Princess Yao would have to go through a lot of trouble to defeat him.
Could it be that close-combat was really better than long-range attacks?
For the first time, this thought appeared in the minds of all Sengoku's people, and they began to ponder this question. While they were pondering this question, they all turned their gazes towards the outsider beside the head of the spectator stands.
It was obvious that the princess's close-combat skills were not as good as this outsider's. She was imitating him, but she did it quite well. When Yao returned to her seat, she even showed off a little to Lu An.
"Look, how's my close-combat skills?" Yao did not ask anyone else, and instead asked Lu An excitedly.
"Very good." Lu An smiled, and said seriously, "You're stronger than most of the Heavenly Masters I've seen."
Hearing Lu An's answer, Yao became even happier. On the other side, the Divine Master's family became even more serious.
The competition was still going on, and noon passed in the blink of an eye. The first match in the afternoon attracted everyone's attention.
"The thirty-fifth match, contestants, get ready!" the host shouted loudly.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on one place. In the center of their attention, Lu An finally stood up slowly.
