Rumble!
A massive, incredibly sturdy iceberg that had withstood the intense battle between Zhuang Zhou and Xiao Ye split into two by a mighty Sword Light, forming two floating icebergs in the sky. Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou were taken aback, turning their heads simultaneously to look at the audience on the Rainbow Bridge.
It was the Ice and Snow Palace Master’s doing!
"Changing the rules of the second round for these two?"
The other Young Talents were all visibly shocked.
Who is the Ice and Snow Palace Master?
A peerless powerhouse controlling the Great Sect of Ice and Snow Palace, a first-class force in the Central State, ranking among the top powerhouses in the entire True Spirit Continent. Even if not a Half-step Emperor, it’s close.
Such a peerless powerhouse naturally commands imnse authority, their words are law. Yet, to change the second-round rules for these two, what an imnse honor!
However, no one had anything to say.
After all, these two are indeed overwhelmingly powerful, both of them Emperor Level geniuses, enough to contend with the Four Great Emperor’s Sons.
Seeing this scene, the various powerhouses in the audience on the Rainbow Bridge smiled.
Especially Wu Ming and the Taiyi Palace Master, who exchanged a glance and a smile.
Earlier, they were worried that Xiao Ye, exposed by a confrontation with Zhuang Zhou in the second round, might not make it to the third round smoothly.
Now, with the Ice and Snow Palace Master intervening to promote both to the third round, it couldn’t be better.
"What?"
"Do you two have any objections?"
At this mont, the Ice and Snow Palace Master stood like a Divine figure above the audience, coldly questioning Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou who stood on separate icebergs.
Both their strengths were enough to overshadow their peers, and as Hidden Geniuses without sect elders present, the Palace Master had thoughts of recruiting them.
If they could be brought into the Ice and Snow Palace, becoming son-in-laws of the Palace, it would undoubtedly strengthen the Palace’s influence.
Faced with a peak confrontation in the second round, neither managing could lead to mutual injury, greatly impacting the third round, hence his intervention to stop it.
This decision also carried personal biases.
"No objections, we’ll do as you say," Xiao Ye’s eyes glead as he looked toward Zhuang Zhou.
"Brother Zhuang Zhou, it seems our battle will wait until the third round."
Entering the third round without fully revealing himself was the best outco.
After all, even after using the Perfect Realm Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, no one questioned his identity, probably because the veterans in the audience were also unsure.
Zhuang Zhou grinned: "Fine, then after defeating the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, I’ll have a showdown with Brother Invincible. That’s a great pleasure in life."
Zhuang Zhou’s words left many young Martial Artists shocked and speechless.
Is Zhuang Zhou considering Xiao Ye a rival surpassing the Four Great Emperor’s Sons?
Indeed, when many discreetly glanced at the Four Great Emperor’s Sons, they noticed their faces were very grim, glaring at Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou.
"Very good!"
"Only one thousand Young Talents can join the third round. Since I’ve changed the rules for you, soone must be eliminated."
At that mont, the Ice and Snow Palace Master’s deep eyes glead with divine radiance, looking at the scene below.
By this ti, half of the thousand-and-one icebergs floating above the Martial Arts Arena had already completed their battles.
"It’s your turn!"
"Before the second round ends, decide your outco. The victor can enter the third round, the loser is eliminated."
The Ice and Snow Palace Master suddenly raised his hands, causing two distant icebergs to collide with a rumble, joining as one in a flurry of snow.
The battlefield these two icebergs ford had already finished its battle, and the two youths upon it turned deathly pale, nearly spitting with rage.
The Ice and Snow Palace Master changed the rules for Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou, letting them pass the second round together, only to eliminate one of them now?
Isn’t this a trap?
They were just being made scapegoats for Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou!
But they had no choice; under the Ice and Snow Palace Master’s strong declaration, they could only brace themselves and charge at each other.
"Poor guys!"
Xiao Ye was amused by their reactions, observing that Nangong Xingyu, Prince Donghuang, and Huang Taiji all passed the second round, whereas most of the Taiyi Palace geniuses were eliminated, bearing witness to the second round’s brutality.
After all, every young Martial Artist making it this far is formidable, each with hidden cards. Only reaching the level of the Four Great Emperor’s Sons or himself made passage easy.
"Tang Rourou was also eliminated."
"Ji Xukong managed to pass..."
Xiao Ye shook his head, glancing at that graceful silhouette in the Ice and Snow Palace camp, with a faint smile appearing on his face.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the iceberg, indifferent to the battles erupting in the second round.
"The Third Round!"
A glint of brilliance flashed within Xiao Ye’s eyes before he closed them to ditate.
The battle with Zhuang Zhou gave him so Martial Arts Enlightennt.
Having endured so much hardship to reach the Ice and Snow Palace, his aim was to sweep his peers aside in the third round and show the world he was worthy to stand beside Bing Ya.
This was his obsession!
And soon, he would personally put an end to it!
"Humph, very well, your luck is good."
"In the third round, I will kill you before the eyes of the world!"
"Just thinking about that mont makes impatient."
The Iron Blood Emperor’s son sinisterly stared at Xiao Ye, his smile nacing, with an overwhelming killing intent emanating from him.
"Junior Sister..."
"The one you acknowledge is approaching you step by step!" Huang Taiji gracefully exchanged silent looks with Bing Ya and smiled.
Ti slowly passed, more than half of the two hours of the second round had elapsed.
With such an exciting duel between Xiao Ye and Zhuang Zhou, the powerhouses on the Rainbow Bridge lost interest in the Iceberg Battle of the second round, with most eyes on Xiao Ye, seemingly pondering sothing.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Martial Arts Arena turned violent, catching the attention of many powerful figures, their gazes all fixated in one direction.
When they saw that young silhouette at the end of their sight, they were montarily stunned.
