Following that, Tan Yun and the other fifteen participants drew lots to determine their opponents and the order of the eight matches in the second round.
First Match: Ancient Soul Lineage Su Yuxiao vs. Ancient Soul Lineage Jiang Yangcheng.
Second Match: Holy Spirit Lineage Dongfang Siqi vs. Talismans Lineage Zhu Junyue.
Third Match: Wind Thunder Lineage...
Third Match: Wind Thunder Lineage Geqin vs. Wind Thunder Lineage Si Ma Ling Rou.
Fourth Match: Beast Spirit Duan Feixiong vs. Beast Spirit Lineage Zhuge Ke!
Fifth Match: Tuoba Yingying vs. Si Ma Ling Heng!
Sixth Match: Formation Lineage Feng Qingxin vs. Artifact Lineage Xie Xiong!
Seventh Match: Holy Soul Lineage Luo Shengzhe vs. Danmai Young Master Jin Hong!
Eighth Match: Five Soul Lineage Luo Ruoshui vs. Tan Yun!
As the sixteen competitors learned their opponents, some were happy while others were worried; some were excited while others were serious!
Especially Si Ma Ling Heng, who had previously vowed to eliminate Tan Yun and Tuoba Yingying, showed exceptional excitement upon learning that his opponent was Tuoba Yingying.
In contrast, Luo Ruoshui glanced sideways at Tan Yun, and a chillingly eerie smile spread across her originally cold face.
Tan Yun slowly turned to look at Luo Ruoshui, a slight smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth, forming a cold smile!
On the Jade Tower, Yuwen Fengjun's clear voice lingered at the summit, “Now this elder of law enforcement announces that the second match, first round of the grand competition, officially begins!”
After his words, the over three million disciples who were watching from the summit fell silent.
For them, witnessing the confrontations of these great talents was an immense fortune.
“Whoosh!”
The holy son of the Ancient Soul Lineage, Su Yuxiao, and Jiang Yangcheng from the same lineage both leaped onto the blood-stained high platform.
“Su holy son, I, Jiang, admit I am not your opponent, I concede,” Jiang Yangcheng bowed deeply, and as he lowered his head, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
He was a direct disciple of Su Liunian, the chief of the Holy Gate's Ancient Soul Lineage, and he believed that if he were to utilize all his skills, he might not necessarily lose to Su Yuxiao.
However, Su Yuxiao was the great-grandson of Su Liunian, and reluctantly, Jiang Yangcheng chose to concede, allowing Su Yuxiao to advance to the third match without expending any of his strength!
“Brother Jiang, thank you,” Su Yuxiao stepped forward and smiled as he helped Jiang Yangcheng up.
Jiang Yangcheng clasped his fists and said, “I wish the holy son success in entering the top eight.”
Having said that, Jiang Yangcheng flashed a radiant smile and leaped down from the high platform.
“This elder of law enforcement announces that in the second match, first round, Su Yuxiao wins!” Yuwen Fengjun declared.
“Whoosh!” Su Yuxiao leaped down from the high platform and appeared at the summit, looking down disdainfully at Tan Yun, whispering, “You better pray you don't die by Luo Ruoshui's hands; otherwise, if you encounter this holy son, you’ll die a terrible death!”
In the face of provocation, Tan Yun remained indifferent. He suspected that whether it was Luo Ruoshui or Si Ma Ling Heng, who had previously taunted him, or now Su Yuxiao, they should all know about the masked men in black who had tried to kill him over five years ago and a year ago!
“Now this elder of law enforcement announces that the second match, second round begins!” Yuwen Fengjun's voice rang out again as a beautiful figure leaped onto the high platform, transforming into the saintess of the Holy Soul Lineage, Dongfang Siqi!
Not only was she a saintess, but she was also the granddaughter of Dongfang Shangzhi, the chief of the Holy Gate's Holy Soul Lineage.
Her opponent, Zhu Junyue of the Talismans Lineage, was the direct grandson of Zhu Daosheng, the chief of the Holy Gate's Talismans Lineage, and also the holy son of the Talismans Lineage!
On the Jade Tower, Dongfang Shangzhi glanced at Zhu Daosheng and said ominously, “Chief Zhu, my granddaughter is the foremost disciple among the Holy Soul Lineage in the Holy Gate. I kindly advise you to make your grandson concede quickly, lest he loses his life.”
