In the arena.
Twelve "doors," like ripples on the water's surface, were present.
These twelve "doors" led to their corresponding secret realms.
Before the fight began, they had to choose their spiritual weapons.
There were sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and so on, all of the same grade.
Basically, everyone used swords.
Subsequently, they were paired off as opponents and entered their respective secret realms.
Then, images from within each secret realm appeared in the void above.
Everyone could sit there and watch the battles in all twelve secret realms simultaneously.
But the problem remained the same.
Although everyone here was a top genius, not many could attract special attention.
Unless you performed exceptionally well.
Among these twenty-four people, there weren't many familiar martial artists.
To participate in the Heavenly Martial Assembly, one had to be at least at the Heavenly Dao Realm.
However, there might be a few God Emperors.
If these God Emperors could defeat Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators, they would attract a lot of attention.
Time slowly passed.
Match after match concluded.
"This year's geniuses are all very strong."
"Indeed, in these battles, even if the realms differ by several levels, they can still fight evenly."
"Is that Lin Tianyi?"
"Yes, it's Lin Tianyi. His opponent is... Xiong An. Xiong An is out of luck."
"Xiong An, a tenth-level Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator, could have had a good ranking if he were lucky enough not to encounter an Immortal Emperor, but unfortunately, he met Lin Tianyi."
"..."
"Please select your spiritual weapons."
Xiong An was an extremely burly man.
He picked up a broadsword.
Lin Tianyi said indifferently, "No need."
Xiong An's eyes narrowed slightly: "Lin Tianyi, are you underestimating me too much?"
"For an Immortal Emperor to fight a Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator, wouldn't it be too much of a bully if I used a spiritual weapon?"
"Good, good, good!"
Xiong An clenched his fists.
Whoosh—
The two entered the secret realm.
Inside the secret realm was a vast expanse of white snow.
Lin Tianyi stood there calmly.
Everyone outside focused their attention on his battle.
Xiong An's terrifying aura erupted.
Snowflakes instantly danced, obscuring everything.
Whoosh—
Xiong An charged forward.
However, in the next second, before everyone could even see what was happening inside due to the heavy snow,
They saw Xiong An, who had just charged in, fly out from the snow and crash heavily onto the ground, unconscious.
This didn't cause too much shock.
This was indeed the case when an Immortal Emperor fought a Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator.
Perhaps only a few Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators could exchange a few moves with an Immortal Emperor, but that was it.
Xu Fengqiu stood up.
Then, under the gaze of the crowd, Xu Fengqiu walked towards the arena.
"Oh? Is it Xu Fengqiu's turn?"
The crowd became interested.
"I wonder who Xu Fengqiu's opponent is."
"It's only the first round; the probability of strong people meeting is too low."
"Yes, indeed. Basically, there's not much to see. It will only get really interesting a few rounds later."
"..."
Opponents were randomly drawn.
Among those participating in the Heavenly Martial Assembly, there were only a dozen or so who had reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.
It was too difficult for these dozen or so people to meet each other among the 1,800 people.
However, some ninth-level and tenth-level Heavenly Dao Realm geniuses came with the idea of defeating an Immortal Emperor.
Xu Fengqiu walked out and handed over the "Kill" character talisman he had drawn.
And his opponent was a rather beautiful woman.
Her realm was the tenth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Seeing that her opponent was actually Xu Fengqiu, her face immediately panicked.
She was at the tenth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm. Apart from those dozen or so Immortal Emperors, the highest realm was the tenth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
If she wasn't too unlucky, it wouldn't be a problem for her to advance into the top 100.
The rewards for the top 100 were quite good.
But she didn't expect to meet Xu Fengqiu in the first round.
"Come on, I might not lose! Maybe I have the strength to fight an Immortal Emperor, and maybe Xu Fengqiu is just like the rumors say, his own strength is actually not strong, his strength is only in various means."
She comforted herself in her heart.
Then, she picked up a sword and walked into the secret realm with Xu Fengqiu.
"Clan Leader Zuo, your daughter is out of luck. She met Xu Fengqiu in the first round of this Heavenly Martial Assembly."
Clan Leader Zuo's face was also a little unsightly.
Logically speaking, his daughter might even have a chance to challenge for the top twenty.
How could she meet Xu Fengqiu right away?
"Everyone has their fate." Clan Leader Zuo said with a forced smile, pretending to be calm.
In fact, he had a little bit of extravagant hope in his heart.
What if his daughter could exchange a few moves with Xu Fengqiu?
What if... she could defeat Xu Fengqiu?
What kind of existence was his daughter?
Although she was relatively old, at thirty-one years old.
But she was also a half-step Immortal Emperor, okay?
If Ye Lingyou hadn't encountered an opportunity, she would only be at the tenth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm now, just like his daughter.
His daughter was only five or six years older than Ye Lingyou.
In fact, they were considered contemporaries.
She was not bad at all!
One of the most top-notch geniuses in Kyushu.
She could really fight Immortal Emperors!
If Xu Fengqiu had a little bit of exaggeration, there was really a chance for his daughter to defeat him.
"Miss Zuo actually met Xu Fengqiu?"
Tang Shaoyun shook his head: "Although this Xu Fengqiu may not be particularly strong, he will definitely not be too bad. What a pity."
Jun Wuye: "It's a pity indeed. With Miss Zuo's strength, it's very possible to enter the top twenty."
"Is there a possibility that Xu Fengqiu needs two moves to defeat Zuo Qingqing?" Tang Shaoyun said with interest, stroking his chin.
"That would be laughable." Jun Wuye also said jokingly.
He rather hoped that such a thing would happen.
Inside the secret realm.
Xu Fengqiu and Zuo Qingqing faced each other head-on.
"Young Master Xu, aren't you going to use a spiritual weapon?"
Zuo Qingqing asked.
"No need." Xu Fengqiu replied indifferently.
Zuo Qingqing was overjoyed in her heart.
Then, the gap between her and Xu Fengqiu narrowed a little.
There was really a chance!
"Young Master Xu, this little girl has a request." Zuo Qingqing transmitted her voice to Xu Fengqiu.
Why transmit her voice?
If she didn't transmit her voice, the people outside could hear the conversation.
Zuo Qingqing continued to transmit her voice: "I wonder if Young Master Xu can let this little girl have a few moves, so that this little girl doesn't lose too badly?"
Her idea was very simple.
Once Xu Fengqiu really confidently let her, she would have the opportunity to instantly defeat Xu Fengqiu.
Although she felt that the possibility was not great.
But she was Zuo Qingqing.
A contemporary top genius.
She had fought Immortal Emperors at the tenth level of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
She could exchange blows.
Although she couldn't win.
But...
If Xu Fengqiu really listened to her and let her have a few moves.
In a relaxed situation, she would have the opportunity to instantly cause great damage to Xu Fengqiu.
Once successful, then she really had a chance.
There was no way, war is deceitful.
"No."
Xu Fengqiu said indifferently without hesitation.
Zuo Qingqing: "..."
