The Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament adopts an elimination system.

Roughly speaking, the seven meridians of Qingyun send a total of sixty-four participants, who then draw lots to determine their opponents. The thirty-two winners then proceed to decide the top sixteen based on the order of their draws.

Finally.

The top sixteen advance to the top eight.

The top eight then advance to the top four.

From four to two, and two to one.

This is the system adopted by the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament.

There are only eight arenas on the field, and it was not yet Wang Quan Yan's turn to compete.

However, someone from Grand Bamboo Peak had already taken the stage.

It was Song Daren.

Before long.

That round of competition ended.

Song Daren advanced to the top thirty-two.

Then, in the next round, nearly all the disciples of Grand Bamboo Peak took the stage except for Wang Quan Yan—even Tian Ling'er was no exception...

Yet.

When that round ended.

Only Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan advanced in the end.

All the other disciples of Grand Bamboo Peak were defeated in the first round.

Seeing this.

Tian Buyi furrowed his brow slightly.

He felt somewhat displeased, but when he caught sight of the young man standing alone at the periphery, holding Wang Quan in his arms, his heart eased considerably...

The other disciples didn't matter.

As long as Xiao Yan was here, the champion of this Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament was sure to belong to Grand Bamboo Peak.

Tian Buyi was filled with confidence.

But what surprised him was that Zhang Xiaofan had also advanced to the top thirty-two. His cultivation seemed to be only at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity, didn't it? He hadn't expected him to make it through.

"Eighth disciple, well done."

Tian Buyi thought for a moment and still offered a word of encouragement.

Hearing this.

Zhang Xiaofan's face lit up with excitement.

He scratched his head somewhat woodenly, then smiled at Tian Buyi and said, "Master, this disciple was just lucky..."

The corner of Tian Buyi's mouth twitched slightly.

He knew that this simpleton Zhang Xiaofan was a bit dull, so he didn't dwell on his words...

Soon.

The third round of competition began.

Wang Quan Yan still hadn't taken the stage.

He glanced at the number tags of the participants and realized he was scheduled for the very last round, so he simply found a spot to sit down.

But then, At that moment.

"This match—"

"Lu Xueqi of Small Bamboo Peak versus Fang Chao of Dragon Head Peak!"

The elder from Tongtian Peak on the arena spoke unhurriedly.

As soon as these words were spoken.

The surroundings immediately buzzed with noise.

Many Qingyun disciples were all discussing the name 'Lu Xueqi,' simply because during yesterday's drawing of lots at Jade Purity Hall, Lu Xueqi had been utterly breathtaking...

The moment she appeared?

She instantly overshadowed everyone else.

No matter who stood before her? At best, they could only serve as a foil!

From this, one could see.

Just how stunning Lu Xueqi truly was!

"Qi'er, go."

On the high platform, Shui Yue turned to the aloof maiden behind her and gave a few instructions.

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi gave a slight nod.

She bowed to her master in farewell.

Then she walked straight down the steps, formed a hand seal, summoned clouds beneath her feet, and drifted above the arena.

"Shua—"

The aloof maiden's white dress fluttered.

She appeared on the arena stage before everyone's eyes, Celestial Evil in hand, standing proud and aloof. Her flawless, exquisite face showed not a single blemish, and her cold, piercing eyes were like a snow lotus atop an icy peak, impossible to look away from...

The next moment, the surrounding disciples snapped out of their daze.

They all let out cries of admiration.

"Senior Sister Lu!"

"Senior Sister Lu!!"

Many Qingyun Sect disciples shouted fervently.

Wang Quan Yan stood silently outside the crowd, his green Daoist robe billowing. With calm, unruffled eyes, he simply watched the aloof maiden on the stage—

"Shua!"

Just then, Lu Xueqi on the arena seemed to sense something.

She turned her head slightly and cast a glance toward Wang Quan Yan at the edge.

For a moment, their eyes met.

"She looked at me! She looked at me!"

"Senior Sister Lu looked at me!"

"Like hell she did! She was clearly looking at me!"

A few Qingyun disciples in front started arguing with each other.

Seeing this, the corner of Wang Quan Yan's mouth twitched.

Look at your head!

She was clearly looking at me!

Pfft!

A bunch of creeps!

But, even creepier things were yet to come.

A flamboyant young man in white robes excitedly climbed up from below the arena. He gazed at Lu Xueqi with burning passion, cupped his hands, and said:

"I am Fang Chao of Dragon Head Peak!"

"To have the fortune of sparring with Junior Sister Lu today is truly the honor of three lifetimes..."

As soon as he said this, the entire venue fell silent.

Damn, they'd seen bootlickers before, but never one this shameless...

"Get off!"

"Get the hell off!"

"Ugh! You're disgusting!"

Many Qingyun disciples around him cursed loudly.

Among them, a disciple from Wind Return Peak holding a folding fan cursed the most fiercely.

Wang Quan Yan glanced at him and roughly guessed his identity—he should be Zeng Shushu, the son of Wind Return Peak's master, Zeng Shuchang, right?

Wang Quan Yan shook his head slightly.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the arena.

As for Fang Chao's bootlicking behavior?

He found it utterly low-class.

That kind of act only qualified him to be a background extra.

Besides, Lu Xueqi hated bootlickers like that the most, and she already had no good feelings toward anyone from Dragon Head Peak to begin with...

Sure enough.

Lu Xueqi's expression darkened slightly.

Her delicate face was tinged with Baleful Intent as she looked at Fang Chao before her, and without the slightest hesitation, she chose to act directly.

Shua!

A flash of azure sword light.

The Heavenly Azure Divine Sword was drawn on the spot!

The sharpness of the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon immediately drew the attention of many, and nearby disciples watching nearly had their eyes blinded.

"Not good!"

Fang Chao's expression tightened.

He had just been about to continue chatting with Lu Xueqi.

But who would have thought she'd strike directly?

This wasn't right!

The script was all wrong!

Fang Chao's face darkened.

He had no time to think now and hastily summoned his own Ice Immortal Sword to meet the attack. Many disciples of Dragon Head Peak, influenced by Qi Hao, all favored white robes, and even their immortal swords leaned toward ice attributes...

What a bunch of show-offs.

"Junior Sister Lu, be careful!"

After drawing his sword.

Fang Chao even cautiously reminded Lu Xueqi—was he afraid of hurting her?

Seeing this.

Lu Xueqi's expression grew even colder.

Remind her to be careful?

Was he looking down on her?

Ha—

Interesting.

Lu Xueqi's eyes turned even more frigid.

She already had no goodwill toward the disciples of Dragon Head Peak because of Qi Hao, and now Fang Chao was showing off before her? He'd picked the wrong person to impress...

Boom!

The Heavenly Azure Divine Sword blazed with brilliant radiance.

She let out a soft cry without hesitation:

"Go!"

The next moment.

The Heavenly Azure Divine Sword shot into the sky.

A dazzling flash of sword light streaked past, a cerulean sword beam soaring upward, and an invisible Sword Qi blanketed the entire arena.

Boom!

In an instant.

The sword light tore across the sky.

The entire arena was thoroughly illuminated.

When the sword light faded?

Everyone saw Lu Xueqi still standing coldly in place, while Fang Chao, who had been so spirited moments before, lay sprawled on the ground.

"You..."

He raised his head in disbelief, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and said, "Such a ruthless heart!"

Crack!

The moment he finished speaking.

The immortal sword before Fang Chao shattered into pieces.

Lu Xueqi turned expressionlessly.

As she turned, she shot a glare at Wang Quan Yan outside the arena, her spirited brows lifting slightly, her eyes flickering as if to say:

"See that?"

"This is how you deal with Dragon Head Peak disciples."
