"What's wrong? You look awful!" As the crimson clouds high in the sky dispersed, Nalan Longfei noticed Xiao Chen's grim expression and could not help asking.
The requirements for advancing to the second round were indeed extremely harsh.
The difficulty was downright monstrous.
But for a bottom-ranked dynasty like Great Xia,
it hardly mattered.

Of course,
the God-Demon Battlefield was incredibly dangerous.
It was also full of uncertainty.
Although everything had gone smoothly for Xiao Chen over the past two days,
and he had slaughtered his way through all opposition,

The current Great Xia Battle Group
supposedly still had nine members.
In reality,
Xiao Chen was the only one who could fight.
To reach the second round,
Xiao Chen would have to single-handedly
defeat at least ninety percent of all the
