The battle of the eight seeded players is about to begin.

They are divided into four groups, with simultaneous matches.

In the first round, Jiang Hao will face Leng Yan, Li Qingshan will face Zhao Ge, Yan Beiwu will face Yuan Fei, and Leng Shang will face Hu Qing.

Among these eight people, seven are seeded players from the Southern Region's Seven Sects. They had not fought before and directly advanced to the "finals."

Only Leng Yan fought his way through the many elite disciples of the Seven Sects.

Therefore, the spectators actually don't know much about the strength of the Seven Sects' seeded players.

However, Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu are the most famous.

There are many rumors about these two seeded players from Seven Peaks Mountain and the Moonlight Sect.

They say they are invincible at the same level.

The hype started early.

Especially Li Qingshan, who directly locked in "First Place in the Grand Competition," full of confidence.

However, these two were already very famous before coming to the Seven Sects Alliance.

But after arriving in Gandu and participating in the Seven Sects Alliance, things changed.

Many people unexpectedly discovered the existence of "Jiang Hao."

A future, guaranteed "Seed of the Dao" of the Huangtian Sect.

Even though information about him is scarce.

His attention has suddenly surpassed Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu.

He can be considered the focal point among the eight seeded players.

"Jiang Hao and Leng Yan, I didn't expect them to meet in the first round. I wonder who is stronger?"

"Leng Yan fought his way through so many people; his strength is indeed terrifying. Jiang Hao is the future Seed of the Dao for the Huangtian Sect, his potential is undeniable. However, in terms of strength, he might be slightly inferior to Leng Yan."

"That's right. Jiang Hao is still very young, and he's already training martial arts at such a rapid pace. How can he still diligently practice martial skills? Therefore, his combat power is likely average."

"That's not necessarily true. It's said that Jiang Hao became a seed by defeating the top ten disciples of the Huangtian Sect's Outer Gate. How could his strength be weak?"

"The performance of the Huangtian Sect's Outer Gate top ten disciples was also rather mediocre this time, wasn't it? Even if he defeated them, it doesn't count for much."

Many people are paying attention to the duel between Jiang Hao and Leng Yan.

Then there's Yan Beiwu and Yuan Fei.

After all, Jiang Hao is a hot topic, and Yan Beiwu is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally elegant, arguably the most attractive woman in this Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition.

As for the other two matches, there's almost no buzz.

This made the self-important Li Qingshan's expression incredibly gloomy.

Leng Yan glanced around, then smiled and said, "Jiang Hao, this is our first meeting. However, I'm benefiting from your fame, being noticed by so many people."

Leng Yan could feel that his first-round match against Jiang Hao had already become the focus.

This wasn't because he was particularly favored.

It was because Jiang Hao's attention was too high.

"Leng Yan, what is Leng Yue to you?"

Jiang Hao asked.

"Leng Yue is my full-blooded sister."

"I already know about the matter between you and Leng Yue. It's actually a small issue. My sister was spoiled since childhood in the royal family, and she has some flaws in her personality. To think she offended a future Seed of the Dao like you, who has such a promising future, is truly foolish."

"However, she is my sister after all. After this battle, regardless of the outcome, I will have Leng Yue return to the royal family, and your grievances will be settled. How about it?"

Leng Yan actually started acting as a mediator.

He really didn't want his sister to make an enemy of Jiang Hao.

After all, Jiang Hao had a high chance of entering the Dao in the future.

A future Dao Entry Realm cultivator, only a fool would make an enemy over trivial matters.

Jiang Hao looked deeply at Leng Yan.

He didn't expect Leng Yan to be so "reasonable."

However, Jiang Hao didn't fully believe Leng Yan.

"Leng Yan, your sister probably isn't that easy to deal with, is she?"

"Let me guess, did Leng Yue ask you to defeat me, or even go all out against me, to vent her anger?"

Jiang Hao said calmly.

"Yes, Leng Yue did have that thought. But I've already warned her that it's impossible. We are having a fair and square battle; how can I go all out?"

"I just want you to lose faster and be a little embarrassed, which might make her feel a bit better."

"However, this is just going with the flow. Even without Leng Yue's involvement, we still have to determine a winner, and I have to give my all, don't I?"

Jiang Hao understood.

This Leng Yan was truly straightforward.

He said what he meant.

Of course, perhaps Leng Yan was only being straightforward with Jiang Hao.

Leng Yue and Jiang Hao only had some minor conflicts.

These conflicts hadn't escalated to the point of irreconcilable hatred.

If they could be resolved, they should be.

Even if they couldn't be resolved, they needed to be cooled down, and the conflict couldn't be allowed to deepen.

Therefore, Leng Yan's sincerity actually made Jiang Hao look at him a little more favorably.

"Alright, then let's settle this with victory and defeat!"

The two stopped talking.

"Swish."

Leng Yan made his move.

He kept his word and went all out from the very first strike.

He truly intended to defeat Jiang Hao as quickly as possible.

Leng Yan possessed several Major Accomplishment level Martial Skills, and they were a set, with their combined power surging dramatically, not inferior even to a Perfection level Martial Skill.

Furthermore, Leng Yan had at least five types of Manifest Force.

As for Hidden Force, without experiencing it personally, he didn't know how strong it was.

But without a doubt, the opponent had already reached the peak of Hidden Force.

Given the Great Gan Imperial Family's foundation, Leng Yan's Hidden Force would certainly not be lacking.

With Leng Yan going all out like this, even Luo Yang would likely be defeated within three moves.

However, Leng Yan had encountered Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao had no intention of using Shrink Step Into Inch.

He also wanted to defeat Leng Yan as quickly as possible.

The two were on the same page, heading in the same direction.

Therefore, the Manifest Force within Jiang Hao erupted instantly.

Ten Forces Combined!

At the same time, Jiang Hao threw out a punch.

Behind him, a colossal Tiger Demon vaguely appeared, exuding a terrifying aura.

This aura alone seemed to suppress Leng Yan.

"Roar..."

The Tiger Demon seemed to roar towards the sky.

True Intent Secret Move, Tiger Roar Mountain Forest!

Jiang Hao's Ten Forces Combined instantly doubled in power.

Even Leng Yan seemed to be momentarily stunned.

"This is..."

Leng Yan's heart jolted.

He seemed to recall something, and his heart was filled with dread.

As if he couldn't believe it.

But it was already too late.

His full-power punch had already collided fiercely with Jiang Hao's full-power punch.

In an instant, both of their Hidden Forces erupted simultaneously.

Jiang Hao cultivated the Five Elements Divine Skill.

Even though the Kidney Force had not yet manifested, the power from his Heart Force, Liver Force, Spleen Force, and Lung Force was already terrifying.

Not to mention the double amplification from the Perfection level Fierce Tiger Fist.

"Bang."

A dull thud.

It was as if an invisible wave of force spread out in all directions.

Leng Yan's expression changed drastically.

He felt a terrifying power crash into him.

His arm twisted instantly.

His bones let out crisp cracking sounds.

Clearly, his bones couldn't take it anymore.

Leng Yan quickly retreated step by step, unloading the terrifying power within his body.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps...

Leng Yan retreated nine steps in total before he managed to stop himself.

But Leng Yan had already reached the edge of the stage.

One more step and he would have stepped out of the ring.

Even with this dissipation of force, Leng Yan was still injured.

His arm, in particular, seemed to have been fractured.

Pure terror filled Leng Yan's eyes.

He stared fixedly at Jiang Hao.

"That's... True Intent?"

Leng Yan asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Hao nodded.

Since he had already unleashed the True Intent of the Fierce Tiger Fist, there was no hiding it.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd below the stage erupted in an uproar.

"What? True Intent? Did Jiang Hao just use a True Intent Secret Move?"

"To comprehend True Intent! If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Hao used the Huangtian Sect's Fierce Tiger Fist. The True Intent Secret Move is Tiger Roar Mountain Forest, it's truly ferocious."

"Didn't they say Jiang Hao spent all his time cultivating and had no time to ponder Martial Skills? How has he comprehended the True Intent of a Martial Skill now?"

"It's incredible. The Fierce Tiger Fist isn't that profound a fist technique, but comprehending its True Intent is incredibly difficult."

"Is this the talent of a future Seed of the Dao? Not only did his cultivation not fall behind, but his Martial Skill has also reached Perfection. It's simply unbelievable."

A perfected Martial Skill shocked everyone.

Never mind that Leng Yan had several Major Accomplishment Martial Skills, even a complete set that, when combined, were not weaker than a perfected Martial Skill.

But there was still a difference.

When facing a true perfected Martial Skill, the difference became apparent.

Clearly, Leng Yan was still a bit lacking.

In terms of power, he was completely crushed.

"I concede!"

Leng Yan took a deep breath and immediately surrendered.

He knew very well that Jiang Hao had a perfected Martial Skill, and he couldn't win.

If he forced himself to fight Jiang Hao, he might be seriously injured.

He still had six rounds of combat to go and couldn't let a small loss lead to a bigger one.

Voluntarily conceding was the best option.

It was just a matter of losing some face.

But losing to Jiang Hao's True Intent Secret Move, Leng Yan didn't feel ashamed.

"Jiang Hao wins!"

Jiang Hao won the first round of matches.

Many people looked up.

Out of the four simultaneous matches, Jiang Hao was the first to emerge victorious.

He had made Leng Yan concede in just one move.

"Jiang Hao, you are very strong. I think everyone underestimated you."

"However, Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu both have Bloodline Power. You can't beat them and can only compete for third place."

After speaking, Leng Yan jumped off the stage.

He needed to hurry and rest to prepare for the second round of combat.

"Li Qingshan, Yan Beiwu?"

Jiang Hao didn't leave the stage immediately. Instead, he looked towards Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu's stage.

Knowing your enemy and yourself means you can win a hundred battles.

Jiang Hao was also very curious about their Bloodline Power.
