The preliminary rounds are progressing quickly. {Google Search}

In just a short week, it's already time for the final ring selection.

This time, all the remaining people were divided into four groups.

Each group consists of 10-12 people. The top four winners from each group advance to the round of 16. Then, a draw is held every week in September for matches.

Such formal competitions are the events that capture the attention of tens of thousands in Zi Xia City.

The previous preliminary rounds were just small skirmishes, nothing to write home about.

"The first group, you may come on stage now."

With a shout from the stagehands, 11 people walked onto the stage one by one.

One of them was tall and powerful, with a head of red hair that cascaded down his shoulders. He moved with the grace of a lion, every step a testament to his strength and majesty.

Xu Jun only needed one glance to recognize the other person's identity.

The Lion's Den Dojo, with its reputation for red-haired lion king style.

Since Xu Jun started competing, Li Qiankun has been by his side all the time.

Although it wasn't down to the level of making tea and serving water, the logistics were well taken care of.

At this time, Li Qiankun came over and whispered, "Xu ge, that one is Kuang Feng. He has been promoted to the Xiantian realm for three years and is very powerful."

Xu Jun nodded slightly, but his face remained impassive.

Of course, it's very powerful from the beginning.

But to say who is better, we'll have to compare them.

However, Xu Jun was very confident in himself. After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes how the otherworldly Xu Jun fought valiantly against two powerful warriors from the Xiantian realm.

Xiao Xu Jun is also Xu Jun, just a little bit smaller.

Rounding down, Xu Jun thought that even if he wasn't better than Xiao Xu Jun, he should be about the same.

So, he was unafraid of this.

As the competition began, everyone on stage fought fiercely.

But this time, the scene was vastly different from before.

Although no one organized or coordinated beforehand, most people tacitly agreed to a rule in these kinds of multi-person tournaments.

That is to pick out the strongest person and then work together to take them down first.

Of course, some people are strong and they conceal it well, making others underestimate them continuously, thus allowing them to easily advance to the final round.

But, this rule is now utterly useless.

Because those fighting on the stage were so restrained, they didn't dare to get within five meters of each other.

Wang Feng just stood in the center of the ring, with his hands behind his back, coldly looking at his surroundings.

But, in this way, centering on himself, an absolute vacuum of about five meters in radius was formed.

No matter how skilled others are, no one dares to approach this circle.

Xu Jun smirked and said, "It's useless." A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "If I were on stage, I would definitely test out Xiang Feng's abilities."

Li Qiankun immediately replied, "Of course, of course, among these people, only you are capable of defeating him."

Xu Jun waved his hand and humbly said, "That's not necessarily true. It all depends on one's innate talent. You only know who wins and loses after you've actually fought."

He spoke politely, but his tone and demeanor were full of confidence.

Li Qinkun let out a wry smile. Four arenas, they said it was random draw.

But in fact, the Thunder Martial Arts Hall had gone to great lengths and paid a certain price to ensure that Xu Jun did not draw with those two congenital masters.

It's not necessarily that he's afraid, but rather that he's worried Xu Jun might lose control.

I've been at odds with those two since the primaries.

Nobody wants to see this situation, so the best few people must be spaced out.

As old man worried, if Xu Jun and those two were really to be put together...

Li Qiankun shook his head, not daring to think further.

Soon, the four people who remained standing on the stage were victorious.

Among them, the situation was the most relaxed. He spent the whole time with his eyes half-closed, not moving at all, and became the first winner.

But everyone thought that this was all natural.

Group one is off, and group two is starting.

Xu Jun's eyes were immediately drawn to a tall, cold-faced young man.

Fengshan Wuguan's Deng Le, who attained the Xiantian realm a year later than King Feng, was the second choice for champion of this year's Youth Martial Arts Class.

Xu Jun is very much looking forward to seeing what outstanding performance this guy will have on the stage.

But he was soon disappointed.

Because this competition is almost identical to the last round.

No matter how ferocious the others fought, within five meters of Deng Le's body, it was absolutely a forbidden zone. No one could enter there at all.

As expected, Deng Le was the first to be promoted in this group.

In the third group, Xu Jun just glanced at it and lost all interest.

Because Jian Xin Tuming told him that the strongest among these people was only at the peak of the acquired realm, not even a single innate expert.

However, this set of battles was the most brutal, and even the ultimate victor bore grievous wounds.

It is estimated that it will be somewhat affected in the formal competition next month.

Just as Xu Jun was feeling rather wistful, the last group of matches began.

Xu Jun stood up, patted his buttocks, and carried his wooden sword onto the stage.

Just as I stepped up, I saw an old acquaintance.

That black, big guy named Li Canghai whom I met in the first game.

When Li Canghai saw Xu Jun, he was also a little surprised. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he didn't understand how this guy had made it through this round.

Xu Jun smiled at him, just about to speak, when he heard Li Cang Hai搶先 say: "You must have some skills to get this far."

Xu Jun rolled his eyes. This big guy, he was still so arrogant.

"However, meeting me again is your misfortune. I spared you once, this time I will send you down."

With a flick of his wrist, the bowl-thick staff "whooshed" through the air.

So intimidating, the few people around him immediately jumped back in shock.

In fact, those who have made it this far are at least three tiers above in terms of bloodline, and there are even some peak martial artists from the innate realm.

But Li Canghai's imposing manner intimidated everyone, and no one dared to confront him directly.

Xu Jun's lips twitched slightly, he was certain, this person was sick.

He said softly, "Actually, there's something I want to tell you."

Li Canghai arrogantly said, "What"

At this moment, a crisp "ding" sound rang out, and the competition officially began.

Whether intentional or unintentional, others avoided facing Xu Jun and Li Canghai who were in a standoff.

They all thought these two people had some grudge to settle.

Xu Jun chuckled, brandished his sword, and lunged with a strike aimed straight at the chest.

Li Canghai let out a series of cold snorts, a disdainful look flashing across his dark face.

But, in the very next moment, his smile froze instantly.

He suddenly realized, this sword...

Damn it, he can't even resolve it.

Li Canghai roared, his long staff whirling and spinning in his hand. The streaks of staff shadow were like mountains and waves.

But, it all seemed like an illusion. With just that simple sword strike, it shattered like a balloon!

Li Canghai's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had no choice but to keep retreating backwards.

Back, back, back......

Suddenly, Li Canghai took a step into thin air, and his entire body lost its balance.

Fortunately, his foundation was deep. In mid-air, he used his waist to generate force and managed a backflip, landing safely on the ground.

Then, he realized that he had been forced off the stage without even knowing it.

What's going on

On the platform, Xu Jun lazily sheathed his sword and smiled, saying, "I just want to tell you that Zijia City is not welcome to outsiders."
