The dueling continued.

Without incident, higher-ranked sects, especially the four first-rate sects, all easily defeated their opponents and advanced to the second round.

Of course.

Among them were also some lower-ranked sects pulling off upsets against higher-ranked sects.

For example, Iron Fist Gate.

This third-rate sect defeated a third-rate sect from Central Honored Province and smoothly advanced.

Zhao Dazhuang, who went to battle, though he only fought one match, that overwhelming cultivation made the audience certain this person absolutely had extraordinary strength!

“This Dragon-Tiger Tournament indeed has many excellent geniuses.”

Many powerful people were evaluating and critiquing.

However, when they inadvertently looked toward Eternal Sect disciples and recalled the scene of them wildly abusing first-rate sect disciples earlier, they thought to themselves, “The disciples Eternal Sect sent are all freaks!”

“Are you Xiao Zuiji?”

Zhao Dazhuang, who had just come down, stopped outside Eternal Sect’s waiting area.

“Correct.” Xiao Zuiji said.

Zhao Dazhuang grinned broadly. “I hope we can meet in subsequent matches.”

Earlier, the mountain-moving, world-conquering feat of toppling the Spirit Phantom Venerable made him very excited, and he realized the opponent was absolutely extremely strong in physical body!

Master said it correctly.

This Eternal Sect disciple was a very good opponent. If they could fight once, this trip wouldn’t be in vain!

“I think so too.” Xiao Zuiji said.

When they encountered each other in the wilderness, him carrying a spirit beast and striding forward had already given him the urge to spar.

“Boom!”

As the last two sects to appear split victory and defeat, the Dragon-Tiger Tournament’s first round dueling was declared over.

Two hundred sects paired off for one hundred matches, so when all were finished, the sky had also darkened.

“Everyone.”

City Lord Han announced loudly, “The Dragon-Tiger Tournament’s first round dueling has concluded. Please look forward to tomorrow’s second round dueling!”

“Watching was too satisfying!”

“Especially Eternal Sect—I didn’t expect the first to battle would explode the biggest upset, defeating the first-rate Great Yan Sacred Sect!”

On-site audience members exited the venue one after another, but on the road, they were still heatedly discussing the previous duels between sects.

Jun Changxiao also stood up.

However, he’d only walked two steps when two Martial Emperors followed from behind.

This was to prevent him from inadvertently flying up again and shamelessly advertising for his sect again, so they must follow closely.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, the projection array became dim.

After confirming the array had closed, the two Martial Emperors finally left with relief.

This pair had watched Sect Master Jun for most of the day and were quite exhausted, so they found a tavern to sit down and ordered some dishes and two pots of wine to relax properly.

…

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

Martial artists in various provincial cities saw the array light screen darken and all stood to leave, secretly deciding to come early tomorrow to occupy positions more advantageous for watching.

“Buzz!”

However, before people could evacuate, the previously darkened array light screen lit up again.

Jun Changxiao’s handsome face appeared once more, then he smoothed his hair and smiled. “Everyone, Hu Hansan has returned again!”

“…”

Martial artists across the entire continent collectively petrified.

“Pft!”

The two Martial Emperors from the organizers saw the projection array suddenly activate, that shameless person appearing in the camera again, and immediately spat out their wine. The chopsticks in their hands also dropped.

Wasn’t the array closed!

How did it activate again!

The two didn’t bother considering anything. They hurriedly flew out the window, then approached Jun Changxiao, who was passionately and emotionally promoting his sect. Each grabbed an arm and pulled him back, shouting, “Quickly shut down the array!”

Several array grandmasters below were sweating profusely as they worked to communicate with the projection array. Finally, after considerable effort, they managed to shut it down again.

Advertising to the point of hijacking arrays.

Sect Master Jun.

You’re truly conscienceless and insane!

However.

This also sounded an alarm for the organizers.

They hurriedly worked overnight to dispatch dozens of array grandmasters to perform multiple reinforcements on the projection array and establish firewalls, preventing it from being hacked again.

Not only that.

To guard against that shameless person doing things that disrupted the competition and forcibly advertised again, City Lord Han deployed several more Martial Emperors.

The next day.

Jun Changxiao had just sat down in the observation seats.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Ten burly brothers quickly surrounded him.

“…”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched. “You guys step aside. I want to go to the privy.”

“We’ll accompany you together!” the ten Martial Emperors shouted in unison.

City Lord Han’s task was simple: definitely watch this guy, absolutely cannot let him take the opportunity to fly up to the projection array.

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao leaned back in his chair. “I can hold it a while longer.”

…

Buzz!

The projection array activated again.

On the light screen, the one hundred sects that advanced to the second round entered one after another, driving intense shouting.

When Eternal Sect disciples appeared, quite a few on-site audience members cheered as well.

Yesterday’s upset victory over a first-rate sect made them acknowledge this fifth-rate sect and willingly become fans to cheer them on!

Each sect took position.

City Lord Han also didn’t waste words, directly entering the main topic, having disciple representatives draw lots to select second round opponents.

“Please don’t draw Eternal Sect, please don’t draw Eternal Sect!”

A sect disciple representative walked to the front stage, standing before the drawing box, silently chanting.

Yesterday he wanted to draw them; today he didn’t want to. This psychological change was quite significant!

“Swish!”

Reach in, pull out.

The placard displayed wasn’t Eternal Sect’s name, immediately making this disciple breathe a long sigh of relief.

“Senior Sister…”

“You go.”

“Alright.”

Li Qingyang walked over again.

Having experienced one drawing, he could already face it calmly.

But disciples from other sects became nervous and anxious, silently praying in their hearts not to draw their own sect!

“Swish!”

Li Qingyang raised his hand, withdrew his hand.

“Eternal Sect’s second round opponent is—”

City Lord Han probably also knew this emerging sect was very topical, so he deliberately drew out a very long tone before announcing, “Golden Phoenix Sacred Sect!”

“Good, good!”

Sects that weren’t selected immediately breathed long sighs of relief.

However, Duan Zishou sitting in the VIP observation seats was immediately dumbfounded.

So many sects.

Why did they select his own!

This matter was something the eliminated Great Yan Sacred Sect was also pondering. So many sects—why specifically draw them first!

“Old brother.”

Jun Changxiao, through the tiny gap left by several Martial Emperors, grinned. “Finally got your wish.”

“…” Duan Zishou’s mouth twitched.

Of course, he couldn’t maintain a pessimistic attitude. Instead, he straightened his back and sneered coldly, “Encountering my Golden Phoenix Sacred Sect, your Eternal Sect’s dark horse journey ends here!”

“Really?”

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin.

…

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

The opponent selection segment was still continuing, but from Eternal Sect’s area, crackling bone sounds were already transmitting.

Su Xiaomo was shaking her head, rotating her wrists, the corners of her mouth hanging with a sinister smile.

Li Fei, Tian Qi, and the others were also doing pre-battle warm-ups, their ears unanimously echoing the sect master’s repeated instructions from last night: “If you encounter Golden Phoenix Sacred Sect, abuse them to death for this Seat!”

Keywords.

Abuse them to death!

City Lord Han fully considered topicality.

After the drawing ceremony ended, he loudly announced, “Second round, first battle, Eternal Sect versus Golden Phoenix Sacred Sect!”

“Swish!”

Li Qingyang stood up, waving his sleeve. “Go to battle!”

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Xiao Zuiji, Su Xiaomo, and the others clenched their fists, then gracefully ascended the martial arena.

“Whoosh whoosh—”

They stood on the platform, tilting their heads sideways to look toward the Golden Phoenix Sacred Sect disciples who were walking over, releasing powerful auras as if they’d instantly turned completely black, their eyes flashing sinister red light.

Seeing this, Duan Zishou’s heart immediately skipped a beat.

“Their eyes are so scary!”

The audience watching also felt their hair stand on end.

Those Golden Phoenix Sacred Sect disciples who were walking over were also terrified in their hearts. At this moment, describing them as “Panicked Sacred Sect” was most appropriate!
