Second Round (Part-2)

With that said Yu Tianhao's aura changed, like they were now not facing a human but an ancient, fierce beast, and his strong blood qi started to boil, making others feel like they were in front of a hot, burning furnace.

He did not use any tricks or martial arts but simply punched twice in different directions, which seemed random, but the five people facing it felt different; they felt another kind of force that made them feel insignificant in front of this punch.

Boom! BooM!.....

His punch effortlessly broke the sound barrier, reaching an unimaginable realm, and the shock wake it created moved at unmatched speed. "What!" They felt fear as they felt the power of these punches and used all of their strongest attacks at that moment.

The strongest attack from the five clashed with the Yu Tianhao attack, but it was like a sand wall crumbling and knocking down all of them. They finally understood the vast gap between them after being defeated.

This interaction was so short that the crowd could not believe what they saw. The shock wave from Yu Tianhao's attack eliminated five strong martial artists.

Even the young geniuses who were confident in their strength also felt immense pressure, seeing how effortlessly Yu Tianhao destroyed his opponent.

After seeing the outcome, nobody dared to come near him, and they battled among themselves to decide the remaining two places in this group, which took just a few minutes to conclude.

With that, the top three among the hundred was decided, who would move on to the final round of this competition.

Slowly, Yu Tianhao walked and left the arena with a calm expression, as this round of competitions was not a big deal, and he did not care for the various eyes on him.

Now that they all saw the strength of the disciples of the 'Empyrean Celestial Sect', all leaders started to feel unease; even the top clans and royal families were also feeling the pressure. They now had numerous questions about this weird sect that appeared in just a few months, like, 'What is their true strength?'

'Is there really only spirit master realm martial artists, or do they have king realm martial artists.' If not, how it's possible for them to train so many good disciples in just a few months?

They became afraid, and at that time, the king of the spiritual kingdom, who was also seeing the competition, also became grave, and immediately a black shadow appeared beside him. "Find everything about the 'Empryean Celestial'Sect'—every disciple, elder, and sect master. Find everything. Use all the people, but find out all about this sect."

Other top forces were also doing the same thing, letting their spies gather all the information about the 'Empyrean Celestial Sect'.

The next group of melee battles continued, and the second and third groups also had intense battles with fierce competition.

But when it was the turn of the fourth group of martial artists, something interesting happened, as in this group there was not only a disciple of the 'empyrean celestial sect' but also another dark horse named Kong Shiyao, whose performance was also good in the first round.

Jiang Chen also looked at Kong Shiyao and already noticed his strength. Although he was still a half-step spirit master realm, he had understood an embryonic form of blade intent and a good foundation. He can even battle ordinary spirit master realm martial artists. So his strength was not weak.

But there is also someone hidden among these hundred martial artists who is more powerful than Kong Shiyao in this group, which many martial artists in the crowd didn't notice.

At the corner of the arena, there's a pale young man named Yuan Tao who looks so weak that it feels like a slight wind would make him fall. Many were surprised that this guy was able to clear the first round. But Jiang Chen had already noticed the peculiarity of this young man, as this man's martial arts realm had surprisingly reached the first-stage spirit master realm.

Not only that, he also seemed to understand shadow intent, which is a rare intent that very few understand.

The melee started as everyone started to attack each other with various techniques.

Among them was Kai Owen, the new disciple who joined the sect, but in a few months, he also reached the peak of the ninth layer innate realm and learned the embryonic form of earth intent.

This time, even when they were cautious of the 'Empryean celestial sect', there were still a few who attacked Owen to check his strength, and he did not let anybody down; he quickly defeated them and continued to face challenges.

Everyone was hoping to see Kong Shiyao challenge Owen, but he seemed to have little interest in it.

As the battle continued, only five people remained standing, and three of these five could move on to the next phase of the domain battle.

They were Owen, Kong Shiyao, Yuan Tao, and two others.

Out of the five standings, most people were not surprised these four made it to this moment, but what was shocking was seeing how weak-looking Yuan Tao, who many believed to belong to the weakest level, survived till now.

Although he seemed weak, he was slippery like a loach. No matter how many attacked him, he somehow was always able to survive, and now he is already in the top five.

Still, many martial artists believe that, now that there are only five, he should not be able to survive anymore and be the first among the five to lose.

But Jiang Chen knows that Yuan Tao is the strongest in this group, as even Owen or Kong Shiyao are not his opponents. He still could not figure out what's the deal with this guy, who showed such a weak side. Did he want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger? or some eighth-grade syndrome of showing his strength at the last moment.

Whatever it is, it does not matter to him, but because of his behaviour, the other two should also focus on him, and Owen should be able to qualify without a problem.
