Lie Back. I'll Carry

"Haha, Bai Shan and Xiao Tian, you two had better keep fighting to the death, that way I'll have two fewer competitors."

Hu Jia's cunning eyes met the two men's angry gazes, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Wu Hao, holding his blood-red Long Sword, stood quietly to one side, conserving his energy. He also felt a lot of pressure from Xiao Tian, a feeling he firmly believed in, because it was this feeling that enabled him to survive the cannibalistic carnage.

Thump!

A bell rang out in the sky above the square, and as the bell rang, Vice Principal Hu Gan appeared in the center of the square.

He raised his hand and pressed it down in the air. In an instant, the square fell silent, and everyone stared at him intently.

"After these two days of competition, fifty people have been selected to enter the Inner Academy. However, the Inner Academy also has distinct levels. The higher your ranking, the better training you will receive upon entering the Inner Academy. So, please give it your all."

"However, considering the many popular and powerful players in this competition, after discussion within the Academy, it was ultimately decided to change the competition rules."

"Next, please welcome the fifty contestants who have successfully advanced to the next round to the stage."

Everyone looked at Hu Gan in the arena with confusion, not understanding what he meant, except for Xiao Tian, of course.

Although they didn't understand his intentions, those who advanced all jumped into the arena from different directions.

As everyone entered, the audience inside became excited and cheered loudly.

The most excited among them were those who supported Xun'er, shouting until their faces turned red and their necks bulged.

"This competition will not use the round-robin format of previous years, but rather a free-for-all format."

"It means that among the fifty of you competing on the same stage, the longer you last, the higher your ranking will be, while the first person to be eliminated will have the worst score."

"Here you can use any means necessary, without any restrictions. You can also choose to form a team. You can use all your methods to achieve the best ranking in this competition. Of course, external forces that do not belong to you are not allowed."

"There will be referees off the field to record your elimination rankings."

As soon as Hu Gan finished speaking, the arena erupted in excitement. This was a completely new way of competing: a free-for-all.

"This is an interesting competition format!"

Xiao Yan, standing behind Xiao Tian, smiled. He had been worried about encountering Xiao Tian, but now, considering Xiao Tian's mysterious and unpredictable strength, he might be able to win without lifting a finger.

"Four against forty-six, and it's our turn again."

Xiao Tian smiled, glanced at the restless Xiao Yan, and then looked at Xiao Yu, whose face was a little pale.

"Xiao Yu Cousin, you should stay by Xun'er's side and not run around. Leave the rest to us."

"This time we'll take you flying; all you have to do is cheer you on from behind."

"Really? Then I'll have to leave it to you three, hehe."

Xiao Yu walked behind Xun'er, looking weak, helpless, and in need of protection. Xun'er smiled when she saw Xiao Yu like this.

Xun'er grasped Xiao Tian's hand with her small hand, her eyes full of encouragement, and Xiao Tian nodded.

Xun'er let go of Xiao Tian's hand, stood in front of Xiao Yu, and looked at the other contestants not far away. She always did everything Xiao Tian asked her to do with 100% seriousness.

"Are you all clear on the rules of the game?"

Seeing that all fifty contestants had arrived, Hu Gan asked a question.

"Understood."

Everyone shouted in unison. Seeing that no one had any objections, Hu Gan raised his hand. "Since you all understand, then I declare the competition open."

He waved his hand downwards, and then his figure vanished into the plaza as a phantom.

As soon as Hu Gan's gesture and voice fell, colorful Dou Qi energy lit up the Competition Stage.

Many unsuspecting people were knocked away by the sudden attack and fell outside the arena.

"Vice Principal, your competition format is quite good. It can raise their awareness and vigilance. In this cultivation world, no one will greet you before making a move."

An elderly man watched the match with great interest.

"I was just tired of those boring matches and wanted to find something new."

After a dozen or so people were knocked off the stage by the unexpected attack, most of them stopped fighting or watched the others warily, except for a few bitter rivals who continued their relentless exchange of blows.

Many people also began to seek out acquaintances they knew well, intending to join forces and forming alliances.

Xiao Tian instructed Xiao Yan to form a cyan Dou Qi Shield to isolate the outside Dou Qi fluctuations.

During this time, many people secretly attacked the Protective Barrier, but they only caused slight ripples and couldn't even create a crack.

The four of them watched with great interest as others fought or formed cliques from inside the Protective Barrier.

As time went by, it gradually evolved from solo battles to team battles, and even group brawls.

During this time, a four-person team also attacked Xiao Tian and his group, but they were all eliminated by Xiao Yan's foot strike.

"Tian Ge, should we try to win over the others?"

Xiao Yan, carrying the Mysterious Heavy Ruler, asked Xiao Tian.

"No need. We're not familiar with the others, and most of the people here are hostile towards me."

"This isn't my fault."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xun'er playfully stuck out her tongue and said with a grin.

The Heroes Divided Battle in the arena has finally come to an end. The arena is now divided into six factions: Xiao Tian Four Person Team, Bai Shan, Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and two other teams that also appear to be at the Da Dou Shi level.

"The final battle is coming! I'm so excited!"

The audience members, seeing that the arena had been divided into factions, knew that the moment had reached its climax and were extremely excited. Some even stood up and waved flags and shouted encouragement.

"You guys go and eliminate them. I'll handle Xiao Tian."

Bai Shan addressed his team members.

He then quickly approached Xiao Tian and his companions with Long Spear, followed closely by several Dou Master Peak behind him.

Meanwhile, Hu Jia Team and Wu Hao Team continued to eliminate the other two teams.

"Tian Ge, leave Bai Shan to me, I'll take care of him for you."

Xiao Yan was filled with excitement. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out, looking as if he wanted to shout, "Complete madness!"

"Xiao Yan, get out of my way and let Xiao Tian come out and fight me."

Bai Shan roared as he watched Xiao Yan charge out.

"Xiao Tian, are you afraid to fight me? Are you going to be a coward?"

"If you want to Tian Ge, you'll have to beat me first."

Xiao Yan slammed a ruler down on him, and Bai Shan could only use his Long Spear to defend himself. The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

As for the other Dou Master Peak who came before Xiao Tian, they were all sent flying out of the arena by Xiao Tianyi.

Then, while teasing Xun'er, he watched Xiao Yan and Bai Shan locked in a fierce battle. As for Xiao Yu, who was standing next to Xun'er, he was fed a mouthful of dog food and looked utterly hopeless.

Seeing that all his people had been eliminated and were even flirting with each other, Bai Shan felt a surge of anger.

"You dare to lose focus while fighting me? Take this!"

Taking advantage of Bai Shan's distraction, Xiao Yan punched him directly in the face, sending Bai Shan flying three steps.

The two then fought again, Bai Shan also pulled out his signature Dou Technique, the Mystic Rank High Grade Quaking Thunder Earth Arc Explosion. In the end, Xiao Yan used his Heavenly Flames to block it, and then he beat Bai Shan up.

Upon seeing Xiao Tian's Heavenly Flames, Fire Elder, Hu Gan, immediately asked him to let Xiao Yan join his Alchemist Department.

Xiao Yan is no longer Five Star Dou Grandmaster, but Seven Star Dou Grandmaster. With no woman in his heart, his cultivation naturally progresses faster.

Knowing he was outmatched, Bai Shan gradually retreated, while Hu Jia and Wu Hao's teams eliminated the other two teams as well.

"Gentlemen, why don't we join forces to take them down first, and then we can each fight one of us to determine the winner?"

Bai Shan, with red fist marks on his face, looked at Hu Jia and Wu Hao.

Seeing Xiao Yan's strength, the two felt it was quite troublesome, and with Xiao Tian, whose strength was unknown, they agreed to Bai Shan's request without hesitation.

Just as they joined forces, a voice rang out from inside the Competition Stage.

"Alright, this match should end now."
