Ling Li was carried away by official personnel.

Before leaving, he was still continuously spitting blood on the stretcher, showing just how badly he’d been abused.

Though he lost, at least he made it into the top twenty, obtaining qualification to enter the finals.

Which meant that in the future on the finals stage, he might very well encounter Eternal Sect disciples again, then get thoroughly abused by them.

“I still have a chance!”

Watching Ling Li being carried away, Li Shangtian clenched his fists tightly.

Unable to complete his revenge in the losers’ bracket left him somewhat unwilling, but he actually also understood that with his current strength, matching up was definitely difficult.

No matter.

A gentleman’s revenge may take ten years.

Going to the finals, when I encounter that guy, I, Li Shangtian, will definitely pin him to the ground and grind him!

Jun Changxiao also deeply believed that at the finals several years later, when disciples met Ling Li again, they would definitely crush him. After all, with the Heavenly Secret Secret Realm, who knew—they might break through to Half-Step.

…

The competition continued.

Su Xiaomo without question made it into the top ten.

It could be said the Eternal Sect disciples almost monopolized the top twenty spots again, once more causing a sensation.

“Too amazing!”

“How were they all cultivated!”

“This session’s Galaxy Main Competition, Dutian Realm’s limelight is unmatched!”

Hearing everyone’s discussion, especially mentioning Dutian Realm, Gu Tianxing immediately puffed out his chest, his face showing a proud expression.

“Uncle!”

Jun Changxiao said in surprise, “How did you start floating!”

…

Next round.

Lu Qianqian and Nangong Qingxian met.

Before the two ice-element competitors even mounted the battle platform, the spectators had already put on thick cotton coats.

As expected.

This was an ice-cold battle.

After the two went on stage, the ground instantly froze with thick ice layers, spreading toward the viewing platform. The entire area seemed to fall into an icy landscape.

“So cold…”

Everyone hugged themselves, involuntarily starting to shiver.

The battle between two ice cultivators lasted a full two thousand words. Finally, Lu Qianqian used a technique like the Ice God descending to knock Nangong Qingxian flying off the stage, announcing the end.

“Swoosh!”

The ice-cold aura dissipated, everything returning to normal.

The martial artists emerging from the winter environment suddenly felt spring warmth and flowers blooming.

…

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

Sword qi crisscrossed, tearing through space.

Su Xiaomo seemed to transform into a monkey, dodging left and right on the battle platform with mysterious and ineffable movement techniques.

“Damn it!”

Jian Xiaohong gritted her teeth. “Besides running away, what else can you do!”

“Swoosh—”

Su Xiaomo seized the opportunity, instantly circling behind, True Spirit power pouring into her right leg, fiercely kicking out. “I can also kick you off!”

“Boom!”

Jian Xiaohong didn’t dodge in time, getting swept off the battle platform by one kick.

“Winner, Su Xiaomo!”

Thus, the losers’ bracket also reached the finals. Competing for the championship were Lu Qianqian and Su Xiaomo. The latter was quite straightforward—as soon as she went on stage, the first words out of her mouth were, “I concede!”

Within the Eternal Sect.

Senior Sister was most feared by fellow sect members.

So since they’d met, definitely wouldn’t battle.

Just like that, after conceding and surrendering as if playing house, all losers’ bracket matches completely ended.

Led by Lu Qianqian, over ten disciples smoothly entered the Universal Holy War finals. Adding those who obtained seed contestant qualifications like He Wudi, the total number was twenty.

Preliminaries: forty-five people.

Main competition: twenty people.

Nearly half the disciples making it to the finals—this achievement was truly outstanding.

So much so that leaving the venue, Gu Tianxing was still grinning. Even his walking gave people the feeling of floating.

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao sighed.

“Why are you sighing, worthy nephew?” Gu Tianxing said.

“To be honest, Uncle.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I thought coming to participate in the main competition this time, all disciples could advance. Now it seems I underestimated the Cangyun Galaxy’s talents too much.”

“…”

Gu Tianxing’s mouth twitched.

Why didn’t this guy say he overestimated his own disciples?

“The upper universe has countless beings. Extraordinary talents emerge in endless succession. Worthy nephew, don’t be a frog in a well.” Gu Tianxing said.

“Uncle’s words are extremely right.”

Jun Changxiao’s expression turned serious. “There’s still time before the finals are held. Worthy nephew will constantly supervise disciples’ cultivation, striving to let them monopolize the top twenty!”

“…”

Gu Tianxing was speechless.

Just now there was a bit of modesty, how did he suddenly become arrogant again.

“Let’s hope.”

Gu Tianxing casually responded with a sentence.

On the main competition stage, the Eternal Sect disciples’ performance was truly stunning. But there were heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people. He absolutely didn’t believe they could monopolize the finals’ top twenty spots.

…

The Cangyun Galaxy main competition successfully concluded.

Other galaxies’ main competitions were still in full swing.

For example, the Canghai Galaxy.

Top talents from various realms gathered together, currently fighting for finals entry tickets.

“Boom!”

On the arena, a contestant with considerable strength was knocked flying.

“Winner, Xie Lingyao!” The referee announced loudly.

The spectators were dumbfounded.

This woman not favored by everyone had successively defeated several opponents, and now even knocked a championship favorite off the platform!

“Who exactly is she?”

“I’ve been to Tianyan Realm several times and never heard of such a person.”

“Too incredible!”

Under everyone’s discussion, Xie Lingyao walked off the battle platform, then sat alone in a corner.

“Miss Xie…”

“Get lost.”

The handsome contestant attempting to get close immediately stopped, then rather helplessly turned and retreated, thinking darkly, “A woman with thorns.”

“Buzz!”

Just at this moment, the giant light screen above the battle platform flashed with light, temporarily cutting to breaking news with the headline: Cangyun Galaxy main competition ends, thirty contestants have obtained finals entry tickets.

“Cangyun Galaxy ended so quickly?”

“They started earlier than us.”

Everyone looked up at the light screen, silently reading the advancement list one by one.

“Wow!”

A powerful expert exclaimed in surprise, “Dutian Realm is so amazing? Actually occupying half the spots!”

“Not just that!”

“They’re all from one sect!”

The successively displayed advancement list was mostly prefixed with “Dutian Realm, Eternal Sect,” so Canghai Galaxy martial artists were all confused.

“It’s him!”

Xie Lingyao locked onto the name “Ye Xingchen,” her bright eyes immediately flashing with towering fury, unbearable memories once again surfacing in her mind.

…

Jun Changxiao didn’t immediately take his disciples back to Dutian Realm, but temporarily rested in the main city for a few days.

Of course.

The real purpose was to see if he could catch Ling Li.

Although Lu Qianqian and He Wudi abused that guy quite miserably, to be honest, it really lacked technical content. If sent into the Tianyuan Prison Tower and handed over to Er Ya, he would definitely be made to feel absolutely wonderful.

Unfortunately.

After Ling Li was carried away, he disappeared. Even when Jun Changxiao’s spiritual sense permeated the entire plane, he couldn’t find him. He couldn’t help but guess, “Could he have been secretly sent away?”

“Worthy nephew.”

Gu Tianxing said, “Let’s set out tomorrow to return?”

“Alright, Uncle.”

Since he hadn’t caught Ling Li, Jun Changxiao also had thoughts of returning.

However, just as he was preparing to depart the next day, he saw the city’s aerial light screen flash, gradually displaying text—Canghai Galaxy main competition ends, thirty contestants have obtained finals entry tickets.

“Xie Lingyao?”

Seeing the champion’s name, Jun Changxiao and the disciples subconsciously looked toward Ye Xingchen.
