Above the Zodiac Battle Platform, blood continuously flowed from the corner of Xiao Lan's mouth, and her whole body remained motionless, though there was still so breath between her nostrils.
She wasn't killed by Cheng Long, but many of her ridians had ruptured due to being consud by the Bloodline Power, so she directly fainted.
"Lv Bai also once said such words to , but now he's a dead man. Do you want to give it a try?" Ye Chen casually glanced at Xiao Lan, coldly smiling at Cheng Long.
Although Xiao Lan had almost died at Cheng Long's hands, Ye Chen felt no sympathy for her.
He could never forget what Xiao Lan had done to him in the past.
However, this Cheng Long was indeed extrely ruthless.
Xiao Lan had no grudge against him, yet he rcilessly went in for the kill on Xiao Lan without hesitation, not caring whether she was male or female.
Such a person, once they go mad, can really do anything.
"Hmph! Trash, don't compare with Lv Bai. That kind of character, I can crush with a flip of my hand. Your twenty-five Seas of Qi are nothing but a joke to ." Cheng Long couldn't help but sneer, his expression filled with utmost disdain.
In fact, he really did not take Ye Chen seriously.
Although Ye Chen had opened up twenty-five Seas of Qi and mastered the powerful killing technique "Five Elents Sword Technique," capable of unleashing the Power of Forty Tigers,
Cheng Long's cultivation had already stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm and had double the Qi Sea Foundation.
His True Qi alone contained enough power to reach the Power of Fifty Tigers, already comparable to Qi Dao Grandmasters who had just entered the Gang Qi Realm.
Therefore, wanting to crush Ye Chen, this trash, was indeed an easy task.
He was actually worried now that if Ye Chen faced him again, he would imdiately choose to concede.
In that case, he would have no opportunity to kill Ye Chen.
"Hmph! That fool Cheng Long, revealing his true cultivation so quickly. If he scares Ye Chen, that trash might just concede directly, which would make killing him troubleso." On the Observation Platform, Duanmu Jie frowned slightly, cursing inwardly.
The match continued.
Besides Cheng Long, talents like Duanmu Xiong, Liu Feng, and the Fifth Princess Lin Zixuan, who had awakened a Profound Bloodline, also stepped onto the stage one after another.
However, each of their opponents was very self-aware and chose to concede proactively, otherwise, they would only bring humiliation upon themselves.
Therefore, Duanmu Xiong and others advanced to the round of sixty-four without much effort.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
The scorching sun overhead grew more relentless, and with it being the height of sumr, the temperatures soared, causing even the air to seem faintly distorted.
However, the new students watching remained enthusiastic, eagerly following the matches.
Because these matches were so thrilling and breathtaking, missing them would indeed be a sha.
"The first round of matches has finally concluded."
"Those who made it into the round of sixty-four are all top-tier experts; there's hardly anyone who wasn't deserving."
"Yes! The matches to co will only grow more brutal. Even geniuses who have awakened a First Grade Yellow Level bloodline might be eliminated if they unluckily face soone like Duanmu Xiong." Many of the new students sighed.
After several hours of competition, half of the 128 new students participating in the elimination rounds had been thoroughly knocked out.
This included a few geniuses who had awakened a First Grade Yellow Level bloodline.
Their strength was much greater than Lv Bai's, but they were unfortunately matched against prodigies like Duanmu Xiong, leading to their defeat.
However, what was surprising was that all the new contestants from the Duanmu Clan managed to pass the first round, advancing to the round of sixty-four.
This was because the opponents they faced were generally weaker and posed no real threat.
This was also sothing that the Host Elder, Duanmu Hui, could arrange.
Being from the Duanmu Clan himself, he naturally had to take care of the new mbers of the Duanmu Clan.
And the Celestial Fla Peak Master and Soul Palace Master just turned a blind eye to it.
After all, they had to give face to Duanmu Ying.
Anyway, only a very few of these new mbers from the Duanmu Clan would make it into the top ten in the end, so their good early performance didn't really an much.
Only those who made it into the top ten could ultimately receive rewards.
As for the freshn ranked beyond tenth, no matter how many opponents they defeat, they will gain nothing.
"Ye Chen, cherish your upcoming days well, for the next match will be your doom." Above the Zodiac Battle Platform, Duanmu Hui was bathed in the blazing sun, his deep eyes coldly fixed on Ye Chen, with dangerous killing intent flashing within them.
Swish, swish, swish.
In the next mont, he retrieved a brush from his sleeve and began writing each freshman's na atop the register.
When he reached Ye Chen's na, a cruel smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he promptly wrote Cheng Long's na after Ye Chen's.
This ans that Cheng Long will be Ye Chen's opponent in the next match.
As the Host Elder of this new talent competition, he possesses this kind of authority.
Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to arrange an encounter between Duanmu Xiong and Liu Feng, who have awakened Profound Bloodlines, so soon, as it would certainly infuriate the Celestial Fla Peak Master and others completely.
In every new talent competition, geniuses of Duanmu Xiong's caliber are typically saved for the final encounters.
This has already beco a custom that even Duanmu Hui doesn't dare to change.
As for Ye Chen and Cheng Long, neither of them have awakened Profound Bloodlines, so they can et anyti without affecting the competition.
After resting for about half an hour, the second round of matches officially began.
This round will see thirty-two contenders vie from among sixty-four freshn, so the competition will definitely be even fiercer than before.
"The second round of matches officially begins, starting with Ye Chen and Cheng Long." Above the Zodiac Battle Platform, Duanmu Hui held a register and announced coldly to the crowd.
"What? Ye Chen's the first to step on stage again? How can that be coincidental?"
"It seems this is the Host Elder's deliberate arrangent; Ye Chen must have thoroughly offended the Host Elder." The observing freshn were shocked and began whispering secretly.
"Ha! Ye Chen is dood to lose this ti, there's absolutely no way he can defeat Cheng Long. If he doesn't surrender promptly, he could even be killed by Cheng Long."
"Such filth deserves this kind of end." Many freshn remarked with schadenfreude.
They had a very poor impression of Ye Chen, even thinking he's worse than an animal.
After all, Ye Chen had once tried to misbehave towards Ye Lin'Er.
Such scum utterly deserves to be put to death.
"Heh! Hahaha! Ye Chen, weren't you very cocky just now? If you're so bold, hurry up and co fight to the death. With just one finger, I can crush you like the trash you are." From the high platform, Cheng Long's piercing laughter resounded.
At this mont, his lips curled with deep mockery, looking at Ye Chen as if he's staring at prey awaiting slaughter, his deanor disdainful to the extre.
"It seems all of this is arranged by that old man, yet this gives an opportunity to eliminate Duanmu Jie's lackeys one by one." Ye Chen couldn't help but glance at Duanmu Hui, a cold smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.
Whoosh.
In the next mont, his silhouette flickered, like a nimble leopard, rapidly darted towards the Zodiac Battle Platform, quickly landing in the center of the stage.
"Cheng Long, co and et your death." Ye Chen's icy voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears, like thunder clapping, domineering to the utmost.
"A worthless fool, let's see who gave you the courage to utter such nonsense." Cheng Long's eyes suddenly shot out terrifying killing intent, his legs exerted a force, instantly leaping several yards, morphing into a humanoid beast, pouncing towards Ye Chen on the stage.
At this mont, to Cheng Long, Ye Chen is no different from a dead man.
"Duanmu Hui, that vile old man, it's truly shaful to deliberately arrange Cheng Long as Ye Chen's opponent, and Ye Chen has already been provoked by Cheng Long's taunts, he definitely won't surrender. If things continue like this, he'll really be killed by Cheng Long." Atop the observation platform on New Talent Peak, Ouyang Xue's expression beca extrely grim, her brows furrowing tightly, eager to rush over and halt the match.
Although Ye Chen's strength allowed him to even slay Lv Bai.
However, Cheng Long's strength is multiple tis more powerful than Lv Bai's, the two aren't even in the sa league.
If Ye Chen truly fights Cheng Long, he could perish at Cheng Long's hands anyti.
"This Ye Chen is too reckless, at his current strength, there's absolutely no way he can contend with Cheng Long. If he ends up being killed by Cheng Long, he can only bla himself." In the grand, resplendent hall, Ouyang Zhong couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointnt.
In his view, Ye Chen's mindset is too immature; even knowing he's no match for Cheng Long, he's still stubbornly seeking a deadly confrontation.
Such a person, no matter how high his potential, is always at risk of premature demise.
"Hmph! This guy doesn't even know his own strength, let's see what he plans to use against Cheng Long." Nearby, the Soul Palace Master smirked with a cold smile, his tone filled with mockery.
As for Duanmu Ying, she couldn't be bothered to look at Ye Chen even once more, as if such a person isn't worth her attention.
