Si Lu and Du Hong both had similar cultivation, around the later stages of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Even with their low cultivation, their fight brought the crowd to the edge of their seats.
Du Hong unleashed a barrage of fiery punches, each one narrowly missing Si Lu as she danced around him, using her agility to her advantage. She could feel the killing intent in the boy's eyes.
With a swift motion, she created a barrier of ice, blocking his next attack and sending shards of ice flying toward him. She looked at the boy with disdain and coldness.
Du Hong grunted in pain as the shards cut into his skin, but he didn't back down. Summoning all his strength, he released a powerful burst of fire, lting the ice barrier and forcing Si Lu to retreat.
As the fight continued, both exchanged a series of moves. Soon, Si Lu found an opening in his defense and focused her energy, her hands glowing brighter as she prepared her next move. With a swift motion, she sent a wave of ice spikes toward Du Hong. He tried to dodge, but the spikes were too fast, pinning him to the ground.
The crowd erupted in cheers as the battle reached its climax. Si Lu stood over Du Hong, her eyes cold and determined. "Yield," she commanded.
Breathing heavily, Du Hong looked up at her, his defiance wavering. Finally, he nodded, signaling his surrender. Even though he hated the look in her eyes, he knew that Si Lu had shown him rcy by not killing him.
The band on his hand glowed before he was forcefully transported out of the realm.
The screen flashed with the words "Si Lu – Victory!" and the crowd roared in approval.
"Well done, Si Lu!" the comntator exclaid. "A brilliant display of skill and strategy!"
Si Lu was enveloped in a white light; she vanished and reappeared back on the main stage as well. Du Hong looked defeated but respectful, nodding at Si Lu as they both took their places among the other participants.
"Let's move on to the next match!" the comntator announced, the screen shifting to show the next pair of nas.

The crowd buzzed with excitent, eager to see how the next battle would unfold.
As the matches continued, the atmosphere grew more intense. Each battle showcased different styles and strategies, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The weaker participants who managed to hold their ground against stronger opponents earned respect and admiration, while the stronger ones displayed their prowess, solidifying their status as top contenders.
Ti passed, and in less than three hours, all the participants secured their positions on the leaderboard.
There were still so who were dissatisfied with their lower ranking and wanted to take the positions held by the participants in the Core Formation Realm.
Since there were 32 Core Formation level participants, they were ranked based on their rough battle power.
"I know many of you don't feel satisfied with your current ranking and want to challenge the heavens~" Seeing the fiery look in their eyes, the comntator smirked and started provoking them with his teasing manner, "I will be gracious enough to allow you to face reality.
But we cannot let you guys waste our ti, so only those between rankings 33 to 35 can challenge rank 33. If you can beat the person in that rank, you can move to challenge the person in 32nd rank."
"…"
The difference between the Foundation Establishnt Realm and the Core Formation Realm was a wide chasm. If peak Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivation was like a glass of water, then a person in the early stages of the Core Formation Realm was like a bucket of water.
"I would like to challenge rank 32!"
"Sa!!"
" too!"
Those who were allowed to challenge were more than eager to show the comntator how wrong he was, while the person who was being challenged groaned in annoyance.
This person was a simple-looking boy wielding a pair of chakram blades on his waist.
He knew more than anything that the challenge would be a waste of his ti and abilities, but he had to follow the rules of the challenge.
Just as he thought, the fight ended in a one-sided massacre on his part. He destroyed the challengers one by one and showed them the reality.
"Now that the annoyance is out of the way, we shall move to the main challenge!" Soon the comntator once more appeared before everyone and clapped his hands in happiness. At his signal, the rest of the challengers besides the leading 32 rankers were left behind.
As the crowd's excitent reached its peak, the atmosphere beca electric with anticipation. The screen displayed the matchups for the top 32 ranked participants.
The comntator, still hovering above the arena with a wide grin, announced the beginning of the next phase, "Ladies and gentlen, now we enter the true battlefield, where only the strongest will prevail! The top 32 ranked participants will face off, and the stakes have never been higher!"
The first matchup on the screen caught everyone's attention:
[Rank 32: Li Cheng V/S Rank 31: Huang Ling]
Li Cheng, the boy with the chakram blades, stepped forward confidently, still carrying the montum from his previous victories. Opposite him, Huang Ling, a young woman with a calm deanor and a spear strapped to her back, prepared herself for the challenge.
"May the best fighter win," Huang Ling said with a respectful nod.
Li Cheng returned the gesture before the two were transported to the domain arena.
As soon as they arrived, the battle began. Li Cheng imdiately went on the offensive, his chakrams spinning with deadly precision as they sliced through the air toward Huang Ling. She responded by twirling her spear, creating a barrier of wind that deflected the chakrams.
The two exchanged blows in a flurry of attacks, the speed and intensity of their movents leaving the audience in awe. Li Cheng's chakrams were fast and unpredictable, but Huang Ling's spear techniques were fluid and adaptive, allowing her to parry and counter with pinpoint accuracy.
Despite his previous dominance, Li Cheng found himself pushed to his limits as Huang Ling began to outmaneuver him. She used the length of her spear to keep him at bay while occasionally launching powerful thrusts that forced him to retreat.
Realizing he was being overwheld, Li Cheng decided to switch tactics. With a swift motion, he threw his chakrams into the air, where they hovered montarily before splitting into multiple copies, each one aid at a different angle.
Woosh!!
The audience gasped as the chakrams rained down on Huang Ling from all directions, but she remained unfazed. With a shout, she spun her spear rapidly, generating a powerful vortex of wind that sucked in the chakrams and sent them crashing into the ground harmlessly.
Taking advantage of the mont, Huang Ling dashed forward, closing the distance between them in an instant. Li Cheng barely had ti to react before her spear was at his throat.
"You lost!" she exclaid calmly.
Breathing heavily, Li Cheng chuckled wryly before leaving the realm with the help of the band.
The screen flashed, declaring Huang Ling the winner, and the crowd erupted in applause for the spectacular match.
As the two fighters were transported back to the main stage, Li Cheng, despite his loss, was t with respectful nods from the audience and participants alike. He had fought valiantly and earned their admiration.
The screen then shifted to the next matchup:

[Rank 30: Ji Chen V/S Rank 29: Wei Rui]
Both Ji Chen and Wei Rui were teleported to the sa bony realm where the chills of the dead could shake a person's soul. They stood on the bony stage, facing each other, ready to attack at any mont.
The mont they were transported to the domain arena, Ji Chen charged at Wei Rui, his fists glowing with a powerful aura. Wei Rui, however, was quick on her feet, evading his attacks with ease while scattering small vials of poison around the battlefield.
The fight beca a deadly ga of cat and mouse, with Ji Chen trying to corner Wei Rui while she continuously set traps and launched surprise attacks. Even with his higher cultivation, Ji Chen found himself struggling to land a decisive blow as Wei Rui's toxins began to take effect, slowing his movents and sapping his strength.
Realizing he couldn't win through brute force alone, Ji Chen made a desperate move. With a roar, he unleashed a shockwave of energy, shattering the vials and dispersing the poison into the air. The sudden burst of power caught Wei Rui off guard, and Ji Chen seized the opportunity to land a powerful punch that sent her crashing to the ground.
Before she could recover, Ji Chen pinned her down, his fist raised for the finishing blow, his expression strained from the poison still in his system. His eyes were brimming with killing intent as he looked at the woman who was the reason for his sorry state.
Seeing the look of ruthlessness in his eyes, Wei Rui panicked and glared at him defiantly, but seeing his fist closing in on her beautiful face, she hurriedly surrendered. "I yield," she spat.
"Woah!!!"
"What a fierce beauty; she really knows how to play~" The people in the arena saw the scene on the screen and could not help but make fun of the beautiful woman.
Back on the main stage, Ji Chen received cheers and applause, though he looked visibly drained.
The excitent in the arena was palpable as the next pair of nas appeared on the screen, signaling the continuation of the intense battles that would determine the strongest among them. The day was far from over, and with each match, the tension only grew thicker as the participants fought for their place in the ranks.
