After the martial arts contest began, cheers and applause erupted continuously in the Qianqing Palace. The Imperial Guards on duty were itching with curiosity, but due to their responsibilities, they dared not leave their post.
The battles between the martial artists were surprisingly quick, often determining the victor after just one exchange, and any fight lasting over half a minute was considered rare.
Thus, the competition progressed very rapidly, and after 2 hours, it had already entered the final round, with the situation becoming quite clear.
The five victors from the Blood-Exchange Realm belonged to the Wudang Sect, Joyful Sect, Fahua Temple, and two officers of the Imperial Fist.
The five winners from the Innate Realm were somewhat special.
First were the three women, Bai Lu, Wen Qiaoqiao, and Miao Ruoxi; all having Great Grandmasters as their elders, their strong abilities were no surprise.
