In their imagination, if Leng Wushuang and Situ Sheng each faced a contestant from the Five Nations, they could easily secure two spots in the top six.
But now.
Of the three matches, two featured contestants from the Five Nations battling each other. As a result, while they could definitely eliminate two from the Five Nations, it was also certain that two would advance.
This was something that the many strong figures from Xuan Prefecture were completely unwilling to see.
Out of the six strong spots, there were unexpectedly three from the Five Nations. Once this news reached the Dawei Dynasty, it would undoubtedly make them a laughingstock, subject to ridicule.
However, no matter how much they were unwilling, the reality had already taken shape, and they could only watch.
Boom!
At this moment.
The three matches on the stage had already begun.
Wang Qiming faced the black-robed youth from the Ghost Immortal Sect and initiated a fierce attack right from the start.
Seemingly aware of the opponent's strength, Wang Qiming came out swinging with life-threatening moves, not giving the opponent any chance to breathe.
If it were another opponent, this move from Wang Qiming might have some effectiveness, but in front of the black-robed youth, it was rendered ineffective.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
No matter how aggressively Wang Qiming attacked, the black-robed youth could always find the weak points in his assaults and counter them.
"Strong, too strong!"
For the first time, Wang Qiming felt a deep sense of helplessness.
He could clearly feel that although his sword intent was extremely powerful, he always seemed restricted in front of the opponent, unable to fully unleash it.
Even so, Wang Qiming had no intention of admitting defeat. He fought desperately and held on tightly.
In his dictionary, there were no words for admitting defeat, surrendering, or accepting fate.
In his dictionary, there was only persistence.
Boom!
While Wang Qiming struggled to hold on, the duel between Leng Wushuang and Situ Sheng had already determined a winner.
Although Situ Sheng had decent strength, he was far too inferior compared to the three exceptional talents like Leng Wushuang. After just ten moves, Situ Sheng was sent flying, completely defeated.
On another stage, You Qianxue faced the ghostly figure from the Ghost Immortal Sect.
As soon as the ghostly figure took the stage, it completely vanished, as if it had blended into the void.
"Where is he?"
"Where did he go?"
"I can't see any trace at all."
Many talented individuals searched the stage, but they couldn't find any sign of the ghostly figure, as if he had completely disappeared from the arena.
Only some fifth-level Wuzong-level experts could vaguely sense the presence of the ghostly figure.
"You Qianxue is going to lose."
"No matter how high his talent, his cultivation is only at the peak of the mid-Xuan level. There's no way he can detect where that ghostly figure is."
"If she can't even find her enemy's trace, how can she fight? This match has been predetermined from the start."
"This person even rejected the recruitment of the Prince of the Imperial Heart; soon she will realize how wrong her decision was."
Outside of Ancient Nandu, many voices of ridicule echoed.
Some Wuzong experts sensed a concealed aura had already arrived behind You Qianxue. At this moment, You Qianxue stood on the stage, still completely unaware, searching everywhere for the ghostly figure.
Whoosh!
A subtle fluctuation of true power swept past You Qianxue's back, then struck down heavily.
"You Qianxue is going to be defeated."
Many experts from the Dawei Dynasty smirked coldly.
In the next moment, all their smiles froze.
Ding!
It was as if You Qianxue had eyes on her back. At the very moment the ghostly figure's attack was about to arrive, she suddenly turned around and blocked it, simultaneously unleashing a flurry of sword light in retaliation.
"She blocked it?!"
"How is that possible?"
"How did You Qianxue know that the ghostly figure was right behind her?"
The many strong figures from Xuan Prefecture were shaken, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
