"Ding. 【, No errors in the chapter reading】"

As the bell rang, the platform suddenly came alive.

Nine people, including Xu Jun, all raised the weapons in their hands.

To prevent accidents, they were all carrying wooden weapons.

But when it came to the Round of 16, that's when things got real.

Even so, each person displayed their skills, and for a time, the scene was filled with flashing blades and heated combat.

However, eight of them rushed towards the big black figure honestly, while Xu Jun hesitated again and again because he really couldn't bear to do it.

For fear that one sword strike might end up killing everyone on the platform, he hesitated.

But just such a hesitation, the situation on the stage had already undergone tremendous changes.

The Black giant seems to have been prepared.

Given his physique, appearance, and terrifyingly imposing presence, it would be strange if he weren't the target of everyone's ire.

So, even when facing the siege of so many people, he was not surprised.

In his hand, a large wooden staff whirled. With a sweep of both hands, the staff whistled through the air, like thunder and lightning, like a flood surging forward, an endless barrage of blows aimed at everyone around him.

An outsider watches the excitement, an insider sees the trick.

Once this blow is struck, you'll know whether it worked or not.

"Ouch."

"Oh my god, that hurts."

"Wow..."

Heart-wrenching screams echoed incessantly, and within a mere instant, all eight figures were sent flying back.

Under this surging and powerful staff technique, the combination of eight people was instantly crushed like dry twigs.

However, even so, not a single person was truly hurt.

Because they all flew backward, like kites with their strings cut.

But, when they lost their resistance and were in mid-air, they were caught by the staff waiting underneath the stage.

This big man's staff technique is quite exquisite. It seems like a heavy shadow, layer upon layer, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top.

In reality, he was incredibly nimble. As his staff knocked aside an opponent's weapon, it also swept upwards in a swift motion, instantly lifting one person out of the circle.

According to the rules of combat, once you leave the platform, it is considered automatic forfeiture.

Eight attacks, and eight people were instantly wiped out.

Xu Jun's eyes flickered, and under the clarity of his sword heart, he saw things clearly.

This man's strength is extremely powerful, even reaching a level comparable to Hao Yidong's. He is equivalent to a peak martial artist in the postnatal stage.

...and the other eight people on stage...

The strongest one is just the bone tempering.

The disparity in power between them was too great, so even with eight people teaming up, it was simply a one-sided slaughter.

The peak of the day after tomorrow

Well well, didn't expect to meet such a formidable opponent in the first round.

Xu Jun was actually a little excited and anticipating for a moment.

However, just as he raised his wooden sword, ready to make his move, the hulking black man turned his wrist and tucked away his staff.

This person turned half-way, looked at Xu Jun with a cold glare, and said loudly: "You, you haven't mingled with them, that's right. I won't force you to step down."

After finishing his words, he turned and strode away, leaving behind…

Xu Jun blinked his eyes, somewhat surprised.

What's going on

What are you trying to do to me

What the hell, do you need me to let you!

Looking at his dashing departing figure, Xu Jun took a deep breath, feeling an urge to forcefully pull him back and strike him down with a sword.

Alright, he must know my abilities, or perhaps he's heard about how I wielded the Innate Sword Cry at the Thunder Martial Hall.

So, since you knew you couldn't win, you chose to admit defeat

Well, well, look at how polite this person is. Let him off the hook this time.

"Why are you standing there, dumbfounded You've passed. Come down quickly, haven't you seen the next batch waiting"

The staff member shouted loudly below, interrupting Xu Jun's train of thought.

Xu Jun stormed off the stage and immediately saw Li Qunkun, whose expression was rather odd.

He knew that Xu Jun would definitely be able to pass the test with ease.

But, to be able to relax to this extent, to even pass without drawing his sword, still made him chuckle a little.

"Congrats, Brother Xu, you made it!"

Xu Jun waved his hand and said, "This... what's going on"

"Oh, Brother Xu, you didn't forget. In the preliminary round, each stage can produce three winners to advance to the next round. There were only two people left on the stage just now, of course you advanced."

Xu Jun stuttered, although he had indeed been promoted, he always felt a little strange about it for some reason.

This feeling of winning without fighting is quite wonderful.

"Li Ge, who is that big black guy"

"I don't know," Li Qiankun said with a wry smile. "I don't have his information on hand, but I can check the organizing committee. I should be able to get news back soon."

Indeed, it was fast. Just five minutes later, Li Qiankun brought over the information on Hei Dagu.

Heidai's name is Li Canghai, a martial artist at the peak of the Acquired Realm from nearby Fengxia City.

Xu Jun said with some surprise, "He's a martial artist from Fengxia City, why didn't he participate in the Fengxia City Youth Martial Arts Cup"

Li Qiankun said helplessly: "Fengxia City is one of the big cities, with flourishing martial arts and countless masters. If that boy participates in the Young Martial Arts Cup of Fengxia City, he definitely won't be able to get a good ranking. Hehehe, he came here for the top eight spots."

Xu Jun only then understood, and couldn't help but feel a little disdain in his heart.

So he's a coward who bullies the weak.

That afternoon, Xu Jun participated in the second group melee again.

Perhaps because the rules for the player draw changed after the first round. This time, out of the ten players, there were actually two students from the Thunder Martial Arts Academy.

Besides Xu Jun, there was also a somewhat familiar-looking man.

As soon as this man saw Xu Jun, he was instantly relieved and wore a relaxed expression.

"Mr. Xu, it's so great to meet you. I really need your help this round."

After Xu Jun agreed to represent the Thunder Martial Arts Hall in the competition, he automatically received the position of martial arts hall head.

Even though he has never taught a single class.

Xu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I'll guarantee you pass this round."

The student's face immediately broke into a smile.

The remaining eight people stepped onto the platform, all with wary eyes.

Those who can survive the first round aren't necessarily the most skilled, but they at least possess a certain foundation and enough vision.

Looking at the two people on the stage, both wearing the same martial arts academy's uniform, these eight people exchanged glances, as if reaching a silent understanding.

"Ding."

As the starting bell of the competition rings.

The eight people each raised their weapons and, as if by unspoken agreement, launched an attack on Xu Jun and his companion.

Although it was their first time cooperating, they divided their roles according to each person's martial arts expertise, working together with a tacit understanding.

However, under Xu Jun's sword-heart's clear perception.

At first glance, it's riddled with flaws and utterly unimpressive.

Finally, it's my turn!

Xu Jun let out a silent sigh in his heart.

With a flick of the wrist, a sword was thrust out casually…
