Chapter 846: Chapter 846: The Brutal Martial Tournament (14 Updates)

The twin martial artists looked up in awe at Liu Zixuan’s arrogant stance. Just a few minutes ago, they would have mocked him, but now, they were speechless.

In the martial arts world, it is taboo to be presumptuous, but a true strongman, regardless of his demeanor, even if his arrogance knows no bounds, can only be looked up to by others!

Clearly, in the eyes of the twin martial artists, Liu Zixuan was that kind of figure they could only look up to.

However, they were quite puzzled.

"Why is it that even if we brothers encounter a half-step Emperor Realm, we aren’t afraid and can even defeat him, yet you, who are in the same realm as us, can defeat us within a few moves?"

Hearing the big man’s words, Liu Zixuan touched his chin and smiled: "If you really want to know the answer, just stick around and watch the martial arts tournament. I believe you’ll understand the reason soon enough!"

Liu Zixuan didn’t offer a detailed explanation. After speaking, he jumped off the stage, lightly shook the folding fan in his hand, resembling a young master from a fairy tale, and slowly walked to the other side, leaving them with a mysterious silhouette.

They could defeat a half-step Emperor Realm together, but Liu Zixuan did it alone, and that was a long time ago. Even though Liu Zixuan suppressed his realm now, his inner strength had already reached perfection, akin to a half-step Emperor Realm stance.

Defeating the two of them was just too simple for Liu Zixuan.

If not for worrying that the six judges would see through his concealed strength, one move would have been enough to deal with them!

The place, said to be a messy battle, felt more like a battlefield, with all kinds of cries, painful groans, and victory shouts echoing in the ears!

The martial arts tournament was a significant event in the entire Martial Realm. Even though some sects like the Medical Immortal Sect or scattered martial artists didn’t participate, there were already over a thousand martial artists in this mountain valley.

Each was crazily trying to advance and secure a spot to challenge the Emperor Realm, using every trick inthe book to defeat the opponent standing before them.

As time went by, the sun had reached its zenith in the sky.

Of the original thousand martial artists, only three or four hundred remained. The rest either left regretfully or moved aside, watching and learning, or more likely, wanting to see who would win the spots to challenge the Emperor Realm!

With the fall of Yafei’s voice, the morning’s tournament finally came to a close. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Every judge has recorded the winners’ names. Now, you can all take a break, eat something, or rest. Of course, if you wish to continue dueling, you can freely choose an opponent, but you must inform the judges. Otherwise, even if you win, it won’t count!"

After Yafei finished speaking, she walked to the other side.

The martial artists, having fought all morning, cheered like students hearing about a school holiday after a month in school.

Many ran to eat, while some approached Yafei with small gifts or went to flatter the six judges. Liu Zixuan, however, found Ye Lianyi and Zhao Yi in the crowd and walked back to the car outside the mountain.

Zhao Yi opened some pre-prepared food, nibbling while murmuring: "It’s really strange. All morning I was either dueling or searching for Jiang Yunxuan and Tiger, but didn’t spot even one of them."

"With over a thousand people in a frenzy, it’s not easy to find them," Liu Zixuan said with a smile, taking a sip of water.

"By the way, Brother Xuan, are Gu Yu and Mo Chengfeng coming?" Zhao Yi suddenly asked.

"They will come, but they won’t participate in the martial arts tournament."

Gu Yu mentioned earlier that they would join them here after mastering the Star Constellation Scripture, but didn’t specify when, so whether they arrived or not was uncertain.

They’re all adults, not children. There’s no need to call deliberately to ask when they’ll gather. Naturally, we’ll meet when it’s time.

Ye Lianyi switched topics with a smirk: "This kind of martial arts style is really barbaric, no thinking required, just go up and fight."

"How did you do this morning?" Liu Zixuan asked. Ye Lianyi, who had told Liu Zixuan she would fight to get close to her ’father’, wasn’t going for the opportunity to challenge the Emperor Realm.

Ye Lianyi rubbed her sore arm: "Those guys were crazy. They showed no mercy whether the opponent was male or female. Fortunately, aside from medical skills, I haven’t neglected my cultivation technique these years. I’ve barely made it this far, but the afternoon will be tough. The remaining ones are surely powerful."

"Yes, your realm is barely considered Imperial Realm Middle Stage, and getting this far isn’t easy. Let’s not forget, most in the group above Imperial Realm Middle Stage but below the Emperor Realm have already reached the Peak of Imperial Realm," Zhao Yi grumbled.

Liu Zixuan put down his bread and lit a cigarette: "We’ll see how it goes this afternoon. Fight if you can, retreat if you can’t. Anyway, you’re not after those spots."

"Hmm," Ye Lianyi nodded slightly.

"Did you see them this morning?" Liu Zixuan tentatively asked.

Ye Lianyi paused, then slowly shook her head: "I didn’t specifically look for them. After all, the main event is tomorrow. Given their personalities, they’ll definitely stand out then."

Zhao Yi, who had heard some of Ye Lianyi’s background from Liu Zixuan, sympathized with the girl.

Sighing regretfully, he said: "Don’t worry, when we find them, I’ll definitely help you!"

"Thank you." Despite losing her appetite, Ye Lianyi forced herself to eat. While not pursuing a spot, she also wanted to prove her strength to those who had hurt her, so she still needed to recharge for the afternoon!

As for Liu Zixuan, besides feeling sorry for Ye Lianyi, he secretly vowed to help her get revenge!

After their meal, the three of them chatted for a while, seeing many people gradually heading inside. They too followed the crowd.

"After a morning of competition, there are currently three hundred and seventy-six martial artists left in the arena. The rest of the time is yours," Yafei looked around and announced: "Due to the overwhelming number of participants in this tournament, with no planned hundred martial artists left after the morning competition, the judges have decided to modify the rules to ensure the tournament ends within two days. In the afternoon bouts, the 1V2 format can increase to 1V4, meaning one martial artist can simultaneously challenge four opponents."

Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched slightly, muttering: "This makes it even more brutal!"
