Probing for Information, Round Two!

"Your brother and I are of one heart, but you're just playing mind games with your older brother!"

"You little bastard, you used dirty tricks! You have no sportsmanship!"

Qin Mingyue's voice was hoarse, his face was dark, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes—not disappointment in others...

That was disappointment in myself, disappointment in my own incompetence!

As the elder brother, he lost so inexplicably without even using half of his full strength; he was defeated by his arrogance...

He was defeated by his own arrogance, and even more so by his overconfidence in his own abilities.

He also underestimated his opponent. If this had been a life-or-death battle, he might already be dead. Hence, he suffered a complete and utter defeat!

In the end, he could only leave the arena with regret, and was sent off the fighting platform to be detoxified...

Seeing this scene--

Qin Mingzheng a wry smile. The competition had only just begun, so he needed to save some trump cards; otherwise, a direct confrontation would be risky...

It seems they'll have to reveal quite a few tricks up their sleeves to defeat Brother Yue.

That's right, it's defeat!

The truly terrifying thing is that Qin Mingzheng has absolute confidence in defeating Qin Mingyue, especially since no one is paying any special attention...

Perhaps his growth has already surpassed everyone's imagination!

"Don't worry, Brother Yue, I won't lose."

"The Qin Clan cannot afford to lose! If it weren't for winning, I wouldn't have traveled all this way back to my clan to participate in the competition..."

Qin Mingzheng thought to himself, "We have many opponents this time. In order to preserve our trump cards, we have no choice but to fight like this and conserve our strength..."

The Qin Clan didn't hold this grand competition in such a ostentatious manner just to invite trouble!

Instead, they're using this opportunity to promote three generations of the Qin Clan!

At the same time, there are also deeper considerations.

As for the other groups--

At this moment, winners were gradually emerging, especially among the disciples of Dao Foundation factions such as Xiashang Dao Academy, Nangong Clan, Jinxuan Dao Sect, and Medicine King Valley...

These disciples of the Dao Foundation faction far surpass ordinary Warrior of the same realm in terms of cultivation, techniques, and overall strength!

Some might say--

Disciples from major sects have never seen true blood and lack combat experience, while Rogue Cultivator from minor sects might not necessarily be unable to contend with them...

But the reality is a one-sided crushing defeat!

While the disciples of major sects may lack experience, the internal competition within these sects is equally fierce. Those disciples who survive...

How many of them are actually good at cooking?!

Those opportunists who relied on their extensive field experience and attempted to use underhanded tactics were mostly eliminated, or worse, crippled...

There are quite a few people who have lost arms or hands, or whose eyes have been gouged out or whose legs have been severed!

perhaps...

A fight at the True Martial Realm level is far too childish, but the True Martial Realm is the realm that best reflects the true strength of each group...

For example, in the stands in the distance.

Two Qi Condensation cultivators were silently observing the performance of the disciples from various families, gathering information through various means...

This will allow us to analyze the Cultivation Method of various factions, gather information, and find ways to counter them!

One of the two called himself Black Dragon Rogue Person, while the other, dressed in a green robe, was a cultivator from Medicine King Valley named Lin Qi.

The two chatted casually while recording information about various Cultivation Method...

They even shared information with each other, and after a long chat, they had a very pleasant conversation!

However, how much of that sincerity is truly genuine remains unknown.

"Too weak..."

"The True Martial Ninth Realm: In the lower three realms, True Essence is contained within, strengthening the foundation and tempering the body; in the middle three realms, True Essence is revealed externally, like a thin veil covering the body..."

"Only those who have reached the highest level can release their True Essence externally, transforming it into Sword-Ray light or blade radiance."

"Among the three realms of True Martial Cultivation Method. The strength of the manifested True Essence is directly linked to the rationality of the Cultivation Method..."

"These disciples of the Lin Yuan Sect possess emerald green True Essence essence, yet lack the vitality of wood."

"His True Essence is weak and exposed, and his Cultivation Method is rudimentary. It seems that even if he cultivates to his limit, he will only Qi Condensation Middle Stage, and will not be able to comprehend the Dao Rhyme principles..."

"Without Dao Foundation, there is no hope of Qi Condensation Completion."

"Brother Black Dragon, what do you think? How do you feel about comparing it to Fellow Daoist Dragon-Gazing Immortal Sect?"

Upon hearing this—

Qin Zhao stroked his false beard and nodded slightly in agreement. "Brother Lin is right. Judging from this junior's weak and superficial True Essence, his Cultivation Method is clearly flawed..."

"Compared to our sect, they are roughly equal."

"But it must be said that the Lin Yuan Sect's Cultivation Method style emphasizes continuity and longevity; look how long they've been fighting..."

"However, there is no sign of a deficiency in True Essence; this is something we need to be mindful of."

"However, compared to Medicine King Valley, this method seems rather insignificant. Medicine King Valley, the Beichuan Qin Family, the Beigao Clan..."

"These all started out in the Wood Dao school, and the methods of all three families are quite remarkable!"

"May I ask, Brother Lin, in your opinion, are there any differences in the merits of these three methods?"

Having said that--

After much deliberation, Lin Qi had made up her mind, but she did not speak out...

From an emotional perspective, he comes from Medicine King Valley Medicine King Valley, where the Wood Dao skills are the highest, without a doubt...

But when he says it aloud, the meaning changes.

Dao Foundation cultivator should not be humiliated, especially on someone else's territory. This Black Dragon Rogue Person is clearly setting a trap for him, waiting for him to jump in!

Moreover, the Cultivation Method and weaknesses of Dao Foundation Foundation's cultivation techniques are all closely guarded secrets...

Why would he easily spread this? This kid probably isn't hiding anything good!

Hehe~

"How dare we presume to fathom the heaven-reaching Dharma Sect created by the great Dao Foundation cultivator..."

"Fellow Daoist Black Dragon, let's not bring this up again. Let's continue; the second round should be starting soon..."

Seeing that Lin Qi changed the subject, Qin Zhao didn't press the matter further...

Qin Zhao had originally wanted to try and extract information from the Medicine King Valley and the Beigao Clan, but it seemed unlikely now. It appeared that this matter couldn't be rushed.

As the gaze shifts...

The first round, the last group of free-for-alls, has ended, with 128 advancing to the second round. Looking around, almost all of them are disciples of major sects...

This first round eliminated the vast majority of disciples from minor sects and factions.

The remaining 128 individuals, while not necessarily the cream of the crop among the younger generation, will undoubtedly be the backbone of their respective fields in the future...

Subsequently--

Once all 128 people had gathered in a square, the second round of the opening competition officially began!

The matching mechanism is also very simple: opponents are determined by drawing lots. For example, player number 1 is matched against player number 128, player number 2 against player number 127, and so on...

This second round was hosted by Qin Zhuang.

With a flick of his sleeve, 128 bubbles flew out, their order shuffled, and then flew towards the 128 people present...

Then the bubble burst, and a jade pendant fell out!

Qin Mingzheng caught it and saw that it clearly displayed the word: Three!

In contrast, there is number 126.

As Qin Mingzheng looked up, his eyes met those of a burly man. The jade pendant in his hand was warm, signifying a successful match...

The man was muscular and strong, but he had the face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, which made him look particularly strange.

"Jinxuan Dao Sect, newly promoted inner disciple: Tong Hu."

"One of the ten participants from the Jinxuan Dao Sect in this grand competition, known as: Bronze Wall and Iron Bastion, specializing in the Ten Thousand Metals Body Refinement Method..."

"Sigh~"

"Sixth Uncle misled me! How come all my opponents are a bunch of tough guys!"

(I've been under a lot of work pressure these past few days, getting yelled at every day, and I'm thinking of quitting...)
