After the top five were determined, they did not start the follow-up competition immediately. After all, they had just experienced the previous competition and they had to take a break. The academy arranged the selection of the top five rankings in the afternoon, so everyone had lunch first before returning to Martial Arts Arena.
The five-person ranking match is very simple. The opponents are determined by drawing lots. Because one candidate is single, there is a blank quota. The one who draws the blank quota will advance to the first round. The remaining four people will compete in pairs to compete for the top three spots. The top three will compete in this way to determine the final championship spot.
When the time was almost up, Hu Gan held a box in his hand, stood in the center of Martial Arts Arena, and announced to everyone, "There are a total of five cards in here, which are the names of five of you. I will draw them randomly. The first one I drew will play against the second, the third and the fourth will play against each other, and the fifth one that is not drawn will be the students who will advance directly in the first round."
Hearing the rules announced by Hu Gan, Xiao Fan was a little surprised. He thought that at least he would have to take the stage when picking out his opponents, but he didn't expect that Hu Gan would directly omit this step.
Under the attention of everyone, Hu Gan pulled out the first note from the box, glanced at it casually, and then said loudly, "Xiao Fan."
Hearing the crowd's cries, Hu Gan smiled, took out another piece of paper, and read out his name, "Wu Hao." Immediately after, there were the names of Xiao Yan and Hu Jia. There was no need to look at the fifth candidate. Xun'er had a bye in the first round of the competition.
Then, Xiao Fan and Wu Hao stepped onto the competition stage again.
Looking at Xiao Fan standing opposite, Wu Hao's face showed the excitement of meeting his opponent. He licked his lips and said to Xiao Fan, "Are you ready?"
Xiao Fan shrugged helplessly and said lightly, "Come on!"
As Xiao Fan finished speaking, Wu Hao narrowed his eyes, picked up the Blood Greatsword in his hand, and rushed towards Xiao Fan. The bloody Dou Qi lingered around Wu Hao. Even before he got close, Xiao Fan could already smell the rich smell of blood.
Frowning, Xiao Fan finally understood the origin of Wu Hao's nickname. With such a strong bloody aura, Wu Hao probably had hundreds of lives on his hands. And judging from his expression, not only was he not uncomfortable with the bloody aura, but he seemed to be enjoying it.
Spear poked at Wu Hao in his hand, Xiao Fan didn't want to be contaminated by the unpleasant smell.
On Competition Stage, the weapons of the two people kept colliding. As Dou Qi collided, bursts of rich fluctuations burst out, which made the surrounding audience cheer.
However, for the two people in the stands, Xiao Fan felt that every collision and the force coming from Wu Hao were terrifying, and as the battle progressed, Wu Hao tended to become more courageous as the battle progressed; The bigger Wu Hao gets, the more frightened he becomes. He feels that every attack he makes is easily neutralized by Xiao Fan, as if he is just a normal person. This makes him feel like he has nothing to do, but at the same time he feels excited about meeting a powerful enemy.
"We can't drag it on any longer." After noticing Wu Hao's increasingly fierce attacks, Xiao Fan Spear struck out, temporarily widening the distance between the two, jumped back, and the Heavenly Flames in his body began to pour into Spear.
Sensing the action of Xiao Fan on the other side, Wu Hao also instilled the Dou Qi in his body into the Blood Greatsword in his hand. As Dou Qi brewed, the blood color around Wu Hao became even more terrifying, and a faint blood-colored mist condensed faintly, wrapping his figure in it.
"Zoom in, zoom in, who do you think will win?"
"I see it's Xiao Fan. He defeated Bai Shan, who is as famous as Wu Hao!"
In the corner of the stands, Bai Shan, who was just quietly watching the match between the two, heard that someone was pulling him out to whip his body. He glanced at the surrounding crowd with cold eyes. Unfortunately, there were too many people around, and he did not find out who was deliberately mentioning him. He had to sit down and look at Xiao Fan in the field, with a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.
"Senior Brother's blow is terrible!" Xiao Yan, who was sitting next to Xiao Xun'er, felt the power released by Xiao Fan on the field and said lightly, "He probably didn't fully activate the power of this blow. I always feel that Senior Brother is still behind."
Xun'er on the side heard this and nodded. "When he defeated Bai Shan before and in the first round of the battle just now, he used this move, but every time it was so powerful, it seemed like he could still win."
Xiao Yan heard this and looked at the little girl next to him, and said with a smile, "What about you?"
Xiao Xun'er rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile, "I'm not good at fighting. How would I know." Xiao Fan shook his head and did not ask further questions. He didn't think Xun'er really didn't know how to fight.
On the competition stage, the Dou Technique of the two people was almost brewing. Wu Hao grasped the Blood Greatsword in his hands with both hands and struck hard in the direction of Xiao Fan.
"Blood Cleaving Slash!"
A blood-colored sword energy about ten feet in size followed the position of Wu Hao and struck hard in the direction of Xiao Fan, and installed a cyan Celestial Crane in the middle.
Just like the battle with Bai Shan, Xiao Fan wielded Crane Shadow, shattering the bloody sword light. The agile Crane Shadow, like a real living creature, bloomed with a bright light not far in front of Wu Hao.
Boom!
The violent explosion knocked Wu Hao back several steps. In everyone's view, the original blood-colored robe on Wu Hao was in tatters, hanging on Wu Hao's body like a strip of cloth. Xiao Fan still looked calm and stood at the original position.
"Ah, Xiao Fan is so handsome, it makes no sense not to take first place!"
"Have you not noticed that whether it is Bai Shan or Wu Hao, Xiao Fan seems to have a calm look!"
Wu Hao's internal injuries were not serious, but he looked a little miserable. Looking at Xiao Fan, whose breath was not disturbed, Wu Hao couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. "Is the gap really so big?" Dou Technique, who was his best, did not even disturb the opponent's breath.
"You are such a pervert." Looking at Xiao Fan across from him, Wu Hao shook his head helplessly and said loudly, "I give up."
As Wu Hao surrendered, the referee immediately announced the result of the game, and then the instructors around him welcomed Wu Hao and treated his injuries first. After all, each of them is a treasured genius of the academy, and no Hidden Injury can be left behind.
After waving his hand to the therapy instructor who came towards him, indicating that he had no problem, Xiao Fan returned to the stand, walked over to Xiao Yan and sat down. "It's your turn." He nodded to Xiao Yan, and before he asked, he pointed at Hu Jia who was already on stage.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, said something to Xun'er next to him, and then galloped towards the competition stage.
After Xiao Yan came on stage, Hu Jia on the opposite side looked at Xiao Yan and even said that between the two, the loser would quit Xun'er's words. Xiao Yan shook his head dumbfounded, but what he responded to was Hu Jia's two white fists. Only then did he understand why everyone in the college called her Little Demoness.
The battle between the two was also very fierce. Little Demoness's fists were no joke. It was estimated that half of the students in the academy were beaten by her. So after seeing that Xiao Yan was able to fight her evenly, and even lost Xuan Heavy Ruler but was still able to suppress Hu Jia, the audience felt that this match was very exciting.
In the end, Xiao Yan relied on its own flexibility and the characteristics of Heavenly Flames to force Hu Jia into a corner of Competition Stage, and then knocked it down and won. Therefore, the three people who advanced to the top three were Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Xun'er.
