stood in mid-air, casting a large shadow over the ground!"Just these stones alone would be enough to crush you to death. Under the influence of Heavenly power, even ordinary stones can become incredib...As expected, he saw in the air ahead those purple flames that had been scattered by the strong wind just now, rapidly condensing together.

And the pair of hands, formed from gray qi, under Murong Jian's feet, still gripped his legs tightly.

Before taking the stage, Murong Jian had never considered this option at all.

As the strongest disciple of the Zhanlong Pavilion, he has long dominated the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings and possesses a strong sense of self-esteem.

He stepped onto the martial arts platform, representing the honor of Zhanlong Pavilion.

But right now, he could clearly feel that the opponent in front of him... was not on the same level as him.

This person inexplicably emanates an ancient aura, as if they shouldn't exist.

As Murong Jian was in turmoil, the purple flames ahead surged again, forming a vast wave of fire.

As the words from earlier rang in his ears, Murong Jian gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He declared loudly, “I concede!”

Hearing this, Zhen Yun in front slightly narrowed his eyes.

But the purple flame in the air did not stop, still rushing towards Murong Jian.

"Ugh..."

At this moment, a strong gust of wind arose in the air, scattering the purple flames.

Zhen Yun immediately turned his head and looked back.

Below the stage, Jiang Dao also turned his head to look at the audience in the back.

But after looking around, there was nothing to be found.

"Murong Jian... Are you sure you want to give up" The head referee appeared on the martial arts stage and asked again.

"Yes," said Murong Jian.

Upon hearing the affirmative reply, a hint of surprise flashed across the referee's eyes. He then turned his head and used his inner energy to amplify his voice: "Murong Jian concedes defeat. The third match goes to Ziyan Palace. Ziyan Palace advances to the top 25!"

The audience was silent for a few seconds, then erupted in an uproar!

Murong Jian conceded!

Zhanlong Pavilion... just like that, it's defeated!

From Beidu, one of the top sects, a favorite to win this competition, just fell in the top 50 of the Hundred Sects Grand Competition!

Unless one heard the referee's announcement with their own ears, no one present would have believed such a result.

The gray-qi hand that had seized the feet of Murong Jian on the martial arts stage, vanished.

The purple flames in the air also dissipated.

Zhenyun coldly glanced at Murong Jian, then turned and walked off the stage.

Murong Jian stood on the spot, bowing his head, gritting his teeth, clenching the long sword in his hand, and slowly turning around to walk downstairs.

He had smooth sailing from the moment he started his cultivation journey, always coming first in everything he did.

This was the first time he truly tasted the feeling of failure.

This feeling is very sad.

He also represented the Dragon-Slaying Pavilion, bringing with him Master Yuan Jing and the hopes of many fellow disciples...

To admit defeat in front of so many people would be a huge blow to him personally and to the Zhanlong Pavilion.

"Jian'er, there's no need to feel guilty. You did your best." Yuan Jing's face was grim, but he still walked forward at once and patted Murong Jian on the shoulder.

"Brother Murong, it's okay..." Several junior brothers stepped forward and comforted him.

Murong Jian lowered his head and said nothing.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the person who had just saved his life. He raised his head and looked around.

But unfortunately, he didn't come into contact with a single gaze.

And from the sound of that voice, it wasn't someone he knew.

Murong Jian took a deep breath, his heart full of doubt.

……

After the biggest upset, the audience at the scene began to discuss the Zi Yan Gong sect.

Before this Hundred Sects Competition, Ziyanying Palace was unknown. But after this competition, its reputation will undoubtedly spread throughout the Yanxia!

Even if it loses the next round, its reputation will remain strong!

Because, Ziyang Palace eliminated Zhulong Pavilion!

Beside the martial arts arena, where the Frost Cold Palace is located.

"It's almost our turn. " Liu Liansha stood beside Su Lengyun and whispered, "Master, are we really going to forfeit directly"

"Hmm," Su Lengyun nodded.

For her, a top 50 ranking is already pretty good.

The strength of Frost-Cold Palace isn't even in the top ten in the Huaibei region, let alone in the top twenty-five across all of Yanxia.

Mismatched strength will ultimately lead to retribution, this was Su Lengyun's thought.

“That Fang Yu said again that he would help us get into the top 25, but as soon as the second round started, he disappeared… Sure enough, a man's mouth…” Liu Liansha muttered unhappily.

"Rest assured, since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word." Fang Yu suddenly appeared beside Liu Liansha and said.

"...How could you be so sneaky and frightening! You almost scared me to death!" Liu Liansha turned her head to see Fang Yu, and was startled. She glared at him angrily.

"Brother Yu...I think it's unnecessary to forcefully break into the top 25 anymore..." Su Lengyun said softly.

"I heard that if you break into the top 25, you'll get a good reward," Fang Yu said, "Since I'm here, it's not unreasonable to aim for a better result before leaving."

"But..." Su Lengyun was a little worried.

The Yueya Sect in Jiangnan is quite powerful.

"The strongest disciple of Yueya Sect, his strength is only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. It's not a big problem," Fang Yu said, "Just let Liu Liansha continue to play."

"It's me again..." Liu Liansha put on a reluctant face, but inside she was excited and expectant.

The previous round of competition already gave her a taste of victory.

That feeling of effortlessly defeating your opponent and standing confidently on the stage, basking in the adulation of thousands... it's simply amazing!

Fang Yu knew what Liu Liansha was thinking, but he didn't expose her.

The competitions are held one after another.

Soon, it was the turn of Yueya Sect to face off against Shuang Han Palace.

Just like the previous round, Fang Yu controlled Liu Liansha and effortlessly won two consecutive matches without bloodshed.

Frost Palace, successfully entered the top 25.

At the same time, because of Liu Liansha's outstanding appearance and clean and neat movements, she became the most dazzling star in the entire Shenwutang.

With just two trials, she had nearly captured the attention of all the men in the audience, who found themselves unable to look away for long.

Liuliansha returned to the field, her face flushed with excitement.

"Alright, the Strongest Experience Card is over. Let's just forfeit the next round," Fang Yu said.

Liu Liansha's face changed slightly. She glanced at Su Lengyun and said, "We've already made it to the top 25. One more round won't take too long. Why don't we..."

Liu Lian Sha winked at Fang Yu, her charm overwhelming.

Fang Yu remained unmoved.

Liu Lian Sha looked dejected.

After the competition in the Frost Cold Palace, there were four more rounds of competitions.

Thus far, the second round of competition has come to a complete end, and the drawing for the third round is about to begin.

Su Lengyun sent a female disciple onstage to draw lots on her behalf.

And the results of the draw gradually emerged.

"The third round, third match, will see Hongzhongmen from the East Capital going up against Tongyangfu from the Central Region..."

"The third round, fourth match, will see the Ziyan Palace from the central region battle against the Shuang Han Palace from the Huaibei region."

As the referee read out each name, once he reached "Shuang Han Palace," Su Lengyun and Liu Liansha, along with a group of female disciples, all changed color.

Their third-round opponent was surprisingly the formidable Zi Yan Palace, who had been performing exceptionally well previously!

"Fortunately…Anyway, we're going to abstain in the next round directly, so it doesn't matter who we draw." Liu Liansha quickly returned to her usual expression, patted her chest, and said.

Su Lengyun's expression also returned to calm.

Just like Liu Liansha said, since I'm going to abstain anyway, what difference does it make how strong the opponent is.

"Brother Yu, after I concede later, can I go on a trip..." Su Lengyun turned her head and was about to ask Fang Yu.

At this moment, however, she noticed a smile on Fang Yu's face, a smile she had never seen before.

This smile sent a chill down Su Lengyun's spine, making her feel as if she were plunged into an ice cave!

"This one... there's no need to abstain." Fang Yu looked at Su Lengyun and said.

"To relinquish my rights You want me to go up there and fight those psychopathic murderers I would never! Besides, my body has its limits..." Liu Liansha's face changed drastically as she immediately stood up in opposition.

"No need to go up." Fang Yu glanced at Liu Liansha and said, "I will take your place on the field."

"Anyway, I don't... ah" Liu Liansha wanted to say something more, but suddenly she reacted, widening her beautiful eyes and staring at Fang Yu.

Beside her, Su Lengyun also turned her head and looked at Fang Yu, her expression filled with surprise.

"In the third round, I will take the stage and help us eliminate… the Ziyan Palace." Fang Yu had an extremely cold smile on his face. His originally pitch-black eyes were faintly turning crimson. Bayuan looked around, taking in the surroundings, his face growing even more grim as his heart pounded in his chest.There is no fighting power at all.The whole third part was just a shambles....and a...
