"I can only tell you that these contestants voluntarily forfeited. As for the rest, I have nothing to say."
Wei Tianyi snorted coldly and did not say anything else.
As the Emperor Of Heaven, he had no obligation to answer the questions of a group of juniors.
Yan Feiran and the rest looked at each other and did not say anything else. However, all of them wanted to see who would obtain a spot in the top 16 on the sixth arena.
Then, two figures walked out of the black hole.
It was Yun Fan and Duan Yi.
"It's the two of them?"
Everyone cried out in surprise. Among the crowd, there were those who recognized them and those who didn't. They kept whispering to each other.
Yun Fan's impression of him was the day when he refined a weapon in front of everyone. Many people had witnessed that day and knew that he was a master blacksmith.
On the other hand, very few people knew about Duan Yi. Only a few cultivators from the Imperial Rock Continent had some impression of him. However, from what they heard, Duan Yi was not one of the top geniuses in the Imperial Rock Continent.
The moment the two of them appeared, the contestants in the sixth arena shouted "demon" as they fled in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, only Yun Fan and Duan Yi were left in the spacious sixth arena.
Yun Fan rubbed his nose when he saw this scene. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that his actions in the secret realm had frightened some of the cultivators and caused them to follow the crowd. In the end, everyone was afraid of him.
"Master Yun Fan has entered the top 16?"
Until now, Lu Qingyi still couldn't believe what he was seeing. He found it hard to believe that Yun Fan could enter the top 16 of the qualifier in such a way.
"How can this guy be so strong?"
Yan Feiran muttered to himself as he stared deeply at Yun Fan.
He could sense that Yun Fan's cultivation was only at the mid-stage Three Palace Venerate Stage. Among all the contestants, this cultivation was only ranked in the middle.
However, he was able to scare over a hundred cultivators into forfeiting. Some of them even wet their pants. Yan Feiran found it hard to understand.
At this moment, the matches in the other arenas were also coming to an end.
Lu Yuran, Geng Bao, Geng Xin, Luo Lei, and the others also entered the top 16.
When they found out that Yun Fan actually ended the battle faster than them, they couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Is this guy really that strong?"
"Cultivators from our three continents were gathered, and he was still able to come out alive. Furthermore, he was able to obtain first place in this round. This is truly displeasing!"
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, there was a kind of gossip that spread wildly among the cultivators.
Yan Feiran, Geng Di, Luo Jiuyu, Lu Qingyi, and the other prodigies were the first to receive reports from their subordinates.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Wei Tianyi is unwilling to explain …"
Yan Feiran sneered. Soon after, he snorted heavily.
"So he cheated. No wonder …" Geng Di sneered.
"I didn't expect Yun Fan to be Wei Tianyi's brother. No wonder …" The corner of Luo Jiuyu's mouth rose slightly.
When Lu Qingyi heard this news, he frowned slightly. Then, he nodded in understanding. It seems like this is the only answer that can explain why Yun Fan obtained first place in the first round.
On the arena, Lu Yuran, Geng Bao, Geng Xin, Luo Lei, and the others also heard about Yun Fan and Wei Tianyi's relationship. Just now, Wei Tianyi was secretly helping Yun Fan in the secret realm.
"Hmph, so it's a guy who got in through the back door. I almost believed it."
Geng Bao sneered.
"Hehe, but in the next round, this brat will reveal his true colors." Geng Xin laughed.
Luo Lei sneered at Xiang Yunfan. "Don't let me draw you in the next round. Otherwise, I will make you look bad in front of everyone!"
"Hmph, this guy's life is mine. I will humiliate him with my own hands!" Lu Yuran growled.
At this moment, Yun Fan, who was standing on the arena, also felt the strange atmosphere around him. It seemed like everyone was pointing at him.
"Yun Fan, everyone seems to be saying that you got in through the back door."
Duan Yi listened to the movements around him and said to Yun Fan.
"Let them say what they want."
Yun Fan chuckled disapprovingly. In the second round, he will use his true strength to destroy these rumors.
"Be careful in the next round. If the difference in strength is too great, just admit defeat."
Yun Fan looked at Duan Yi and reminded him.
Duan Yi nodded slightly. He knew that Yun Fan was doing it for his own good. With his strength, if it wasn't for Yun Fan, it would be difficult for him to enter the top 16.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he was perfectly satisfied.
"Yun Fan, thank you."
Duan Yi said sincerely. He was really grateful to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan waved his hand and smiled faintly. "What are you being so polite for? We are friends."
Duan Yi's eyes lit up. "Are you willing to be friends with me?"
"Why not?" Yun Fan couldn't help but ask. Yun Fan recognized Duan Yi's character.
"Thank you."
Duan Yi was so emotional that his face flushed red. He didn't expect that a proud son of heaven like Yun Fan would be willing to be friends with a lowly person like him.
"It's just making friends. Is there a need to be so emotional?"
Yun Fan chuckled and hammered Duan Yi's chest. "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me anytime."
"Okay!"
Duan Yi nodded heavily and said seriously, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can also come to me anytime. Even if it's a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I, Duan Yi, will help you!"
Seeing Duan Yi's serious face, Yun Fan was slightly stunned. Soon after, he smiled faintly and nodded. He shook Duan Yi's hand tightly.
Immediately after, the voice of the emcee on the central platform reverberated again, announcing the names of the top 16 contestants.
No one questioned this name list.
Yan Feiran and the other sky-prides didn't mention it, nor did the contestants. Even the other Emperor Of Heaven only frowned when they heard this rumor and didn't ask any further.
This was because in their opinion, this was only the top 16. Even if Wei Tianyi really interfered, it was the Emperor Of Heaven's privilege. As long as no one had evidence, no one would argue with an Emperor Of Heaven. That was obviously not a wise move.
There was no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Whoever was stronger would be 'fair'!
As for Lu Yuran and the others, they were even less likely to question it. This was because if they kept Yun Fan alive, they could openly humiliate him or even kill him in the arena!
"Next, I will announce the names of the top 16 contestants …" The voice of the emcee sounded again.
"The first arena, Geng Xin versus Yun Fan …"
Hearing this voice, the smile on Geng Xin's face became even more charming.
