Victory?
Xiao Ziji instant victory was acknowledged by the spectators.
Su Xiaomo's victory was acknowledged by the spectators as well.
But Xiao Ziji, who was regarded as trash, received Wang Lie's elbow strike and easily threw him out with one hand. This was a bit ridiculous!
One was standing on the stage while the other fell off the stage. It was very realistic and not ridiculous.
"Can you announce it now?" Xiao Ziji looked at the referee.
The referee came back to his senses and immediately announced, "The winner of the fifty-first battle of the first round is Xiao Ziji!"
The loud voice was transmitted throughout the arena, pulling the dazed spectators back to reality. Their eyes were filled with disbelief …
"What kind of joke is this? How can a low-grade person with no cultivation defeat Wang Lie, who is at the ninth stage of the Channel Opening Realm!"
"The sun must have risen from the west!"
"Did he use some underhanded method?"
Under the doubts of the crowd, Xiao Ziji walked down the stage and looked at Jun Changxiao, who was on the stage. A bright smile appeared on his face.
Sect Leader.
Your disciple did not disappoint you!
Jun Changxiao, who was leaning on the back of the chair, said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
Xiao Ziji's performance was within his expectations. After all, he had gone through crazy tempering for more than ten days and had sweated a lot. This victory was deserved.
"Ding!"
"Five disciples have advanced to the second round. The completion rate of the Epic Mission is 10%. The host has received 20 contribution points."
"Ding!"
"Sect Contribution Points: 62500."
Jun Changxiao said in surprise, "The reward is given just like that?"
The system said, "Five disciples have advanced to the second round, which is higher than the mission failure rate. It is determined that the initial completion rate is the minimum, so there will be a fixed reward."
Jun Changxiao held his chin and said, "If they all enter the third round, will the completion rate be higher and there will be a reward?"
"Yes." The system said.
Jun Changxiao said, "This Epic Mission is quite interesting."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, he glanced at the Xiao Clan Head Elder and saw him staring at Xiao Ziji. The killing intent in his eyes was even denser than before.
Jun Changxiao frowned and thought, "Dangerous old man."
… …
"Head Elder, how could that kid defeat a ninth stage Channel Opening Realm participant!" A Xiao Clan Head Elder said in disbelief.
"Hmph."
The Head Elder said coldly, "This trash must have tempered his body."
As expected of one of the Xiao Clan's experts. Just from the fact that Xiao Zui was able to withstand the elbow strike and send Wang Lie flying, it was clear that his physical body was very strong.
An elder next to him said disdainfully, "There is a limit to a person's physical body. Even if he was lucky enough to win this round and enter the next round, he will still lose if he meets a stronger opponent."
The Elder was Elder was furious....
Previously, he was unhappy because Xiao Zui had come to participate in the inter-sect competition and brought shame to the Xiao Clan.
What made him unhappy was that he had actually advanced to the second round!
Jun Changxiao had been paying attention to the Xiao Family's First Elder. Seeing the change in the Xiao Family's First Elder's eyes, Jun Changxiao murmured, "If Zui Ji manages to overcome all difficulties, will this old man die from anger?"
....
. For example... He would suddenly charge down and kill him.
"No, no."
... Jun Changxiao said, "We must take precautions."
He took out the modified Desert Eagle, loaded the gun, and removed the plate on the hammer.
He raised his hand, gave a thumbs up, closed one eye, and measured the distance between him and the Xiao Clan Head Elder. "About 50 meters. I'm within shooting range."
Jun Changxiao crossed his legs and placed his hand on the armrest. Although he was looking at the stage, he was also paying attention to the Xiao Clan Head Elder.
Wasn't this guy being too cautious?
There was nothing wrong with being cautious. If that old man got angry and ignored the sect competition to kill Xiao Ziji, it would be too late to take out his gun.
"Eh?"
The Da Red Sect Head Elder was surprised. "Sect Head Jun, what are you holding in your hand?"
"A toy," Jun Changxiao said.
The fat on the Da Red Sect Head Elder's face trembled as he thought, "A sect head holding a toy. How despicable."
… …
Xiao Ziji stepped into the winner's area.
Coincidentally, he met Xiao Linye's eyes in another battle zone and saw a trace of surprise in the other party's eyes.
Xiao Ziji ignored him and closed his eyes to rest after entering the winner's area.
The contestants who advanced first also looked at him in surprise, obviously unable to accept the fact that he had defeated Wang Lie.
The direct descendants of the Xiao Clan in the spectator stands also found it hard to accept.
At this moment, their expressions were extremely ugly. After all, they came this time to see Xiao Ziji make a fool of himself, but he advanced easily!
And he defeated a Stage Nine Meridian Opening Realm cultivator!
Among the young direct descendants of the Xiao Clan, the highest cultivation was only Stage Seven Meridian Opening Realm.
It was definitely a painful blow for a trash in their eyes to defeat an opponent they couldn't defeat.
Thinking back to those years, these direct descendants of the Xiao Clan would follow behind him and call him Elder Cousin. They were closer than real brothers and would often ask for guidance on martial arts.
Later on, when Xiao Ziji was no longer in the limelight, they changed their attitude. Some avoided him, and some hit him when he was down.
Therefore, the direct descendants of the Xiao Clan naturally didn't want the trash to be stronger than them, because it would hurt their fragile hearts.
Even if they didn't want to see it, they saw it.
The person they thought was trash defeated a Stage Nine Meridian Opening Realm in front of everyone.
What was this called?
Face slapping?
No, no, no, this was called stabbing their hearts with a knife, stabbing their hearts into pieces!
Slapping the face didn't hurt the face. What they felt now was heartache.
…
The first round of the competition was still ongoing. Those who advanced sat cross-legged to recover their spirit power.
The five Iron Bone disciples didn't because they won without much effort. As for Xiao Ziji, he didn't need to as he didn't have any spirit power himself.
An hour later.
The first round of the competition had ended, and there were 128 people who advanced.
According to the sect's rules, they were redistributed to four battle zones, with a total of 32 contestants in each zone.
Li Qingyang was in Zone A, Su Xiaomo was in Zone B, Lu Qianqian was in Zone C, and Tian Qi and Xiao Ziji were in Zone D.
After the division, each zone began to draw lots to determine their opponents. This was the final draw, and according to the order, the winners would fight until the first place of the zone entered the top four.
Jun Changxiao murmured, "As long as they can take first place in their zone, the epic mission will be considered completed."
The only problem was Zone D.
If Tian Qi and Xiao Ziji met in advance, it would be a little troublesome.
Fortunately, after Zone D drew lots, the two of them had a number two card and a number thirty-one card. If they continued to fight, they would only meet in the finals of their zone.
"The first match of the second round, Chen Chong versus He Wei!" The Zone A referee announced.
The referee's voice sounded in the other three zones at the same time. The eight contestants went up the stage and cupped their hands to each other, and the second round officially began.
Tian Qi held the number two card and went up the stage of Zone D.
His opponent held the number one card, and his name was Yi Dashi. He was a Stage Twelve Meridian Opening Realm participant.
"Begin!" The referee said.
Yi Dashi, who had seen the previous battle, had some understanding of Tian Qi's speed. He immediately rushed over and closed in, launching an airtight attack.
