As each group brought five participants the competition started with a groups stage five groups on one platform and only two were getting advancement but such rules were going to be broken someway and somehow as their name were called they went to their platform as there were five platform for five groups
Zhou yu and Wang fei were out on the same platform the minute the competition started golden ray and black energy balls started sending people flying in a few seconds only two of them remained on the stage they were never friends so they never spoke the minute they won they each to the sects platform a voice came to Wang fei from within it was lu Yu
" Why do you two always fight with each other"
He replied
" When did we fight again" she said " you just saw each other after a long time you know you two are the only remaining people who came from the same place and yet you act as if your nemesis it's very stupid I just don't understand how you two keep doing it"
Wang fei smiled he was being reprimanded by the woman he loves and heloved it a lot from the remaining group stage Wang yi and yingyi were the victors the crown Prince and the second prince were the victors from theirs
Li wangyu and mu yun won theirs Xiao fan and Xiao xue came out victorious and Wang yi and Wang xuan did not fall the third prince did not make it but the princess and one of the disciples of the spirit butterfly sect made it as the group stage was finalized it was time for the one on one battle
Xiao fan and li wangyu were called to the stage first Xiao fan said
" What is this "
li wangyu frowned he continued
" do I have to bully someone who hasn't even made it to the beginning realm yet what kind of a match is this "
He put his sword back into his treasure bag and told li wangyu to make his move he did not want to bully someone weaker in that single moment li wangyu smiled immediately a voice came straight to Xiao fan head it was zhou yu he said
" What are you doing, take out your sword immediately hes a body cultivator and he has cultivated six levels of the body refinement which means the late earth realm if you underestimate him you will lose very pathetically you might even get your position stripped"
Immediately he took out and got serious li wangyu found it weird this was a person who underestimated him a few seconds ago he turned to look at zhou yu he knew Zhou yu told him something he said through mind transmission
" Brother zhou I could have won this fight very easily"
Zhou yu replied
" Sorry, I can't let you bully my senior brother"
They got prepared and when it was time they started Xiao Fan disappeared.
His figure turned into a red blur as blood-colored spiritual energy gathered around his palm.
"Blood Shadow Palm!"
A palm strike carrying the force of a river of blood shot toward Li Wangyu's chest.
The audience expected Li Wangyu to retreat.Instead...He stepped forward.The entire arena shook.His body refinement technique activated.Golden patterns appeared across his skin as his muscles tightened.
Bang!
Xiao Fan's palm struck directly against Li Wangyu's chest.The shockwave spread across the stage.But Li Wangyu did not move.it was now he believed everything Zhou Yu told him li wangyu said
"Is that all "he grabbed Xiao fan by the arms his grips were like iron chains Xiao Fan's expression changed as he tried to pull away.
"Release me!"He circulated his blood energy, causing crimson flames to explode around his body.
Blood Burning Art!
The force pushed Li Wangyu back slightly, allowing Xiao Fan to escape. The crowd became exited xiao fan thought of his remaining technique he xiao Fan moved again.His figure disappeared, leaving behind a trail of blood-colored energy.
"Blood Shadow Steps!"
In an instant, he appeared beside Li Wangyu.
Bang!
His palm struck Li Wangyu's shoulder.
A powerful shockwave exploded.Li Wangyu's body slid backward several meters, his feet carving lines into the arena floor.Xiao Fan smiled.
"Your body is strong, but your reactions are too slow."
Li Wangyu said " Is that so "
Xiao fan found it weird what was giving him confidence in a battle where he lost twice Xiao fan continued attacking but then he used it the sacred level technique he got from the trial grounds the dragon scales art
In the next second his human flesh was replaced with layers of hardened scales Xiao fan attacks were brutal but from then on nothing worked on li wangyu the dragon scales art did not just defend it also made you as fast as a dragon
Immediately he appeared in front of Xiao fan face he punched him into the ground he went unconscious he had lost the fight li wangyu retracted the dragon scales art he had won already and Xiao fan was carried to the blood heaven sect platform he had lost and no one knew what his fate would be .
The next people participating were yingyi and the princess as their names were called they went to the stage yingyi had reached the middle stage and the princess was only at the early stages but when they both brought out their weapons yingyi was sacred level and the princess wielded a supreme grade treasure the imperial sword yingyi said
" A supreme grade treasure"
The princess added
" Your more cultivated than me so I have to find a way to fight you fairly shouldn't I "
Yingyi spoke no further it was time for a clash between women who would come out victorious and who would go home as the loser when they said begin the two girls lunged at each other activating their techniques.
