Chapter 803: Chapter 803
Ding Fan quickly recovered after stepping out of the Martial Arts Venue.
Although many others broke through from the four areas, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, subsequently, none surpassed ten thousand jin, let alone reaching the monstrous level of forty-five thousand jin like Ding Fan did.
After the first round, Mu Zi, Huan Er, Wu Die, and Bian Zixuan all advanced smoothly. At this time, Ding Fan also took note of Cheng Bufan.
His sworn brother also advanced during the first round.
Originally, nine hundred competitors participated, but after the first round, only just over a hundred advanced. Simply put, this elimination round shockingly eliminated over eight hundred competitors.
The elimination rate is incredibly high, having eliminated over ninety percent of the competitors.
After the first round ended, according to the rules, the remaining hundred or so competitors rested, and the second round of combat would commence the next day.
Everyone then went back to rest.
Starting from the second round, it would involve genuine fist to fist and foot to foot Martial Skills, so everyone thought of using this time to recuperate well.
Ding Fan also returned to the big tent. Although it was a bit cramped with five people in one tent, living together with four top beauties was something unimaginable in dreams.
An uneventful night passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Although the competitors were only these hundred or so people, those who were eliminated earlier did not leave, and they all came to watch the excitement.
There were still four competition areas: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Ding Fan was in Gamma.
After yesterday's selection, only twenty-seven people remained in Gamma area. The situation in the other three areas was similar to that of Gamma area.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the second round of the Martial Arts Tournament. Today's competition will be combat." The organizer's voice, propelled by Inner Strength, reached everyone's ears. Upon hearing the word 'combat', everyone adopted a solemn expression.
"Finally, we can witness the Martial Skills of Huaxia Country. Bring it on!" Just as the organizer finished speaking, someone from Alpha area shouted out loud.
Hearing this, Ding Fan knew who it was without even looking that way.
This person, shouting just now, was none other than Kamii Ichiro from Japan, who had come from South Sea City with Ding Fan's group.
Ding Fan was truly speechless; this Kamii Ichiro had previously been disciplined by an elder of the Fenghuo Gate, yet he still dared to participate in the competition.
"I am a Jonin from Japan, here to let you witness the world's most formidable Karate, so I came all the way from Japan. Just patiently learn…" Kamii Ichiro was rambling on, but no one wanted to listen at that moment.
Then, in the void, the organizer's voice came through again. "The second round of competition is very simple, which will be a free-for-all battle in each fight arena, and the last remaining will be the winners… Only eight Martial Artists from each area will remain…"
Free-for-all battle?!
Ding Fan had not expected the organizer to adopt such an approach.
Just then, the organizer's voice came again. "The first in each group will skip the second round…"
Ding Fan was thinking that after making such a big impression yesterday, he would inevitably become a target in a free-for-all battle.
Although Ding Fan wasn't afraid, it would still be a bit troublesome.
However, now it was better; the first place could actually skip the free-for-all battle…
At this moment, Ding Fan walked to the outside of the Arena. Skipping the second round and having some rest was also quite good.
With only eight left in each area, excluding the top one, there could only be seven advancing in each area.
Originally from over nine hundred competitors, only thirty-two remained after two rounds. This elimination rate was truly terrifying.
"Alright, each area start organizing on its own."
As the organizer finished the last sentence, referees from each area began to gather the Martial Artists to the Martial Arts Venue.
The referees explained the rules of the competition.
The rules of the competition were actually simple, during the combat, one only needed to beat the opponent to the point where they couldn't stand up or if the opponent voluntarily surrendered.
Of course, the organizer emphasized one last point; there's no accounting for injuries or deaths in the brawl.
All Martial Artists, having understood the rules of the competition, began to prepare.
Some fighters who were familiar with each other from before started forming alliances secretly. Their thoughts were simple: as long as they collectively defeated others, they could advance, after all, eight could emerge from each area.
Under the referee's instruction, Gamma area immediately started.
Excluding Ding Fan, there were twenty-six others in Gamma area, who cautiously eyed each other, and for the time being, no one dared to make the first move recklessly.
Standing out too much in a brawl was not good as it could easily lead to being ganged up on, so these people dared not act rashly.
"Come on! Let me show you the prowess of Japan's Karate School!" At this moment, Kamii Ichiro from Alpha area started to make his move.
Ding Fan was quite curious to see how long Kamii Ichiro would last.
With that, Ding Fan looked towards him. But before Ding Fan's gaze could even focus on Kamii Ichiro, a young woman had already kicked him off his feet.
The young woman's cultivation was not weak, approximately at the Third or Fourth Grade of Earth Level.
At this moment, many people around started teasing Kamii Ichiro.
However, Kamii Ichiro didn't hear a single word, as he had already passed out...
Just as Kamii Ichiro finished making a fool of himself, Area C finally started to make a move.
A group quickly clashed together. However, since it was just the beginning, everyone intentionally held back their strength. Their attacks were all exploratory.
At this moment, Qi Luomei, with a flying kick, directly knocked down a martial artist.
Qi Luomei's movements were unpredictable, and her kicks were extremely swift. The martial artist didn't even have time to react before he was flipped over by Qi Luomei.
The martial artist lay on the ground, hesitated a moment, and then fainted.
The martial artist knocked over by Qi Luomei had at least reached the peak of Human Level cultivation. Qi Luomei unexpectedly knocked him out so easily that many people in Area C turned their gaze towards her.
Ding Fan wasn't surprised why Qi Luomei started off with such a ruthless move.
In the first round of the contest, Qi Luomei lifted an adamantine stone weighing ten thousand pounds. Anyone intent on winning would naturally target her.
By eliminating the strongest together, others would have the chance to advance collectively.
At that moment, someone shouted loudly.
Immediately after, five figures dashed towards Qi Luomei.
These five people had already formed an alliance. Their goal was clear: to directly eliminate Qi Luomei.
Qi Luomei snorted softly, then her figure flickered.
Qi Luomei's movements were like a slippery eel. Even before the five could reach her, she had already dodged through the gaps of their attacks.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Quickly, the five's hand strikes enveloped Qi Luomei, but the latter didn't seem to panic. She kept dodging back and forth through the gaps, occasionally finding opportunities to counterattack...
Ding Fan, watching from the outside, noticed that Qi Luomei had improved incredibly fast. Compared to that day in Longxi, it was like night and day.
Right now, it could only be said that the Evil Sect Cultivation Technique did have exceptional aspects. In just this short time, Qi Luomei's cultivation had reached an impressive level...
The five people teamed up and fought with Qi Luomei for nearly a minute, and not only did they fail to defeat Qi Luomei immediately, but, on the contrary, she used her agility to gradually gain the upper hand.
"Five against one is too shameless; I'll help you..." Just then, a man in white swiftly passed by and, without a second word, delivered a flying kick that knocked one of the five martial artists to the ground...
Ding Fan watched coldly from the side.
He didn't believe that the man in white intervened just because he couldn't stand the unfair five against one situation.
On the arena, the five struggled intensely against Qi Luomei. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
Actually, if the five had been gaining the upper hand, the man in white would have definitely helped them, but now, since the five were struggling, Qi Luomei's combat power was insurmountable.
The man in white quickly analyzed that standing with Qi Luomei was absolutely beneficial for him, so he directly joined her side...
As Qi Luomei single-handedly faced five, just by sticking with this strong ally, entering the third round would be a sure thing...
At this moment, a few others noticed the man in white's intention, and shortly after, a few others joined Qi Luomei's side.
The five were already struggling to cope with Qi Luomei, not to mention now when so many more had come.
In just a moment, the five were outrightly defeated by Qi Luomei and her allies.
After flipping the five over, Qi Luomei did not pause for even a moment; she directly charged towards other martial artists.
At this time, those who followed Qi Luomei had willingly become her lackeys. So, in just a blink of an eye, Qi Luomei's alliance had knocked over the rest...
Area C was indeed the first to conclude the second round of the contest.
"Heroine, your cultivation is profound, and your combat power is astonishing. This martial arts conference will definitely be a great showcase of your prowess..."
As they came down from the martial arts venue, the man in white immediately put on a smile and started flattering profusely.
Regardless, he and Qi Luomei did share a battle alliance, so if the third round was still a melee, he might as well stick close to Qi Luomei's thighs.
"Get lost!" Qi Luomei didn't even look at the man in white, her tone ice-cold.
The man in white didn't expect that his attempt to brown-nose not only failed, but backfired.
Although the man in white was somewhat displeased, he dared not provoke Qi Luomei.
A fierce figure capable of lifting ten thousand pounds, how could he afford to provoke her.
Qi Luomei left the martial arts venue, glanced at Ding Fan, then went outside to rest.
After Area C had determined the winners, the other areas also selected eight people each.
Nalan Xiong in Area D advanced without any suspense.
Cheng Bufan advanced.
Ding Fan's companion Huan Er also advanced. Zixuan, Wu Die all advanced as well.
Whereas the always cunning Mu Zi was eliminated in the second round.
"Everyone rest for half an hour, then we'll immediately start the third round!" At this moment, the organizer projected his voice using his Inner Strength...
