For Ling Xiao, the subsequent battles were a mix of joy and sorrow.
Ji Luoyu and Fengming Lian were eliminated.
Liu Lian, Lan Xue, and Red Moon advanced smoothly.
In the end, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire had four martial artists advance to the second round: Ling Xiao, Leng i, Joshua Long, and Dan Feng.
Lan Xue and Liu Lian belonged to the Tianhai Empire’s martial artists.
Red Moon belonged to the Zhengyi Sect’s martial artists,
but they all had a good relationship with Ling Xiao.
In the first round, thirty-three people were eliminated, with sixty-six remaining, only half left.
All thirteen top talents advanced.
Sun Leng Chan, Mu Wan Shuang, Jun Moqing, Jun Mochou, and other second-tier strong players also advanced smoothly.
Almost all the dark horses were concentrated on the Heavenly Dynasty Empire side.
However, by the second round, it was basically filled only with top-tier talents and second-tier talents.
They were all true hard fights.
Who would be able to stand on the stage in the third round was anyone’s guess.
The eliminated martial artists, although showing regret on their faces, were still alive, which was much better than those who were killed directly on the field.
Moreover, after experiencing a battle, their gains were not small.
At least they recognized their own worth.
After all, among the one hundred and fifty-five participants, they were all considered geniuses within their own factions.
When geniuses et geniuses, whoever can prevail, that’s the true essence of the White Tiger Summit.
And those who advanced to the next round all had a look of gladness.
As long as they didn’t die, they could already receive rewards from the Xuanwu Divine Hall.
The rewards from the Xuanwu Divine Hall were certainly not ordinary things; they were quite anticipated by them.
Perhaps by leveraging these rewards, they could undergo a transformation and beco stronger.
Such things have happened in previous White Tiger Summits.
So even broke through their cultivation level and gained increased strength, thereby earning a chance to participate in the resurrection match.
Although there was no resurrection match set this ti, the unexpected could happen, and if sothing similar occurred, the resurrection match would certainly be put on the agenda.
"The first round of battles is over. You have two hours to rest, recover your strength, and heal your wounds!"
The injured and exhausted martial artists didn’t want to waste ti and imdiately sat where they were to rest.
After all, not everyone won easily; many martial artists expended a huge amount of energy in the first-round battle.
Of course, there were others who hadn’t expended much energy, and to determine the opponents for the next round, they needed to discuss briefly with their most trusted friends.
In the second round of the King’s Battle, the top ten still had the right to choose their opponents freely.
But they couldn’t choose martial artists ranked in the top ten.
This rule was naturally to prevent the strong from eting too early, which is a reasonably safe asure.
It was also the reward for the second battle.
During the rest period, Ling Xiao also didn’t speak and continued to ditate and heal.
It seed he still hadn’t fully recovered from the injuries Xuan Ming had given him yesterday.
Many observant people saw this scene.
Though Ling Xiao had slain Cangjin Fei, Cangjin Fei was too weak to really demonstrate anything.
Those stronger than Cangjin Fei still believed Ling Xiao was an easier opponent to defeat.
Of course, this is relative, as among the top ten, he was the only one severely injured, and his cultivation level appeared only slightly higher than Joshua Long’s, lower than everyone else.
But Joshua Long is a Dragon Clan descendant, certainly not easy to deal with.
The two hours quickly passed, but Ling Xiao still didn’t open his eyes.
Anyway, soone still had things to say, he just listened; there was no need to move.
Morgan Lawless Heaven slowly said, "In the second round of battle, there are thirty-three people, so one of them can choose to have a bye.
The top ten have the right to choose this bye spot, starting from the first rank.
If none of the top ten choose the bye, the spot will be randomly drawn among the rest, and whoever gets lucky will get it.
Additionally, if you choose the bye spot, you will lose the second round’s battle rewards!"
Every victory in the King’s Battle cos with rewards, and these rewards stack with advancent rewards.
The victory rewards are usually Spirit Stone, pills, cultivation technique secrets, and the like.
The advancent rewards, however, may be more valuable things, like inherited mories.
So according to Ling Xiao’s estimation, there would be no one among the top ten choosing the bye because it was unnecessary.
This spot might fall into the hands of those behind.
"Now listen carefully, among the thirty-three people, seventeen will enter the next round, and in the next round, nine will continue to advance, with one having a bye.
Here’s the critical part, at this ti, we will have a resurrection match.
Whoever can defeat the person with the bye, will qualify to enter the final round and beco one of the strongest ten in the White Tiger Summit!"
"Is there really going to be a resurrection match? This is an opportunity!"
Many eliminated martial artists perked up again; many felt they were not too weak, but rather faced opponents too strong.
If there’s a resurrection match, then it’s a single-log bridge from failure to success for them.
No matter how many contend for it, they wouldn’t give up.
"Okay, the rules are explained. Now, starting from the first, who wants a bye spot?"
Morgan Lawless Heaven looked towards the competing martial artists.
"Pass!"
Ling Xiao didn’t hesitate to pass, despite his injuries, there was no need for a bye.
"I pass too!"
Leng i said.
As Ling Xiao predicted, the top ten all passed on the bye spot.
So it was changed to a draw.
The bye spot ended up with Red Moon from Zhengyi Sect.
The little girl pouted, seemingly eager to fight, disappointed at getting the bye.
After all, her cultivation level wasn’t weak, even stronger than Ling Xiao, only lacking in combat ability, so she desired more practical combat, many more practical combats.
After the bye draw, naturally the formal duels began.
Out of thirty-two people, sixteen would be directly eliminated.
It was truly thrilling and intense.
Among these thirty-two, there were thirteen top-tier talents.
For many, the number of potential advancent spots was only three!
Up until now, the audience still didn’t believe any of the thirteen top-tier talents would be eliminated.
After all, these thirteen were all too strong.
"Ling Xiao, choose your opponent. As long as they’re below rank ten, you can choose anyone!"
Morgan Lawless Heaven looked at Ling Xiao, genuinely curious to see who would beco the lucky person picked by Ling Xiao, the madman.
Because in Morgan Lawless Heaven’s mind, aside from those thirteen top-tier talents, there was simply no one who could oppose Ling Xiao; being chosen by him ant elimination.
It was brutally cruel.
Not only him, but everyone else was also watching Ling Xiao.
