Chapter 1176: Chapter 1174: Group Combat

Yan Ruyu’s strength broke through to the Celestial Beings Realm, and her body underwent a major metamorphosis. Her skin became as translucent as jade, and her features flawless. She seemed to have suddenly become seven or eight years younger.

There was also an invisible aura of authority about her, exuding a delicate and beautiful charm, like a blooming flower. The floral pattern mark on her brow added to her dignified presence.

"Ru Yu!"

Xiao Yifeng came straight to Yan Ruyu’s side and called out.

"Little Feng!"

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes and gazed at Xiao Yifeng, calling out in return.

Immediately, the two embraced each other tightly.

"I’m glad you’re okay!"

Xiao Yifeng released Yan Ruyu and looked at her intently, his tone filled with concern.

"Not only am I okay this time, but I also turned misfortune into a blessing by breaking through to the Celestial Beings Realm, and I feel like there’s a mysterious power within my body."

Yan Ruyu said.

"Mysterious power?"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of interest passing through them as he examined Yan Ruyu’s body but found nothing abnormal.

"Senior Long Qian, do you know what the mysterious power Ru Yu is talking about?"

Xiao Yifeng asked inwardly.

"Your woman seems quite extraordinary, possessing the Flower God Mark is truly a divine blessing!"

Long Qian remarked lightly.

"Flower God Mark? What is that?"

A look of confusion crossed Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

"The Flower God was a Great Power from our Ancient Realm with a natural affinity for all kinds of flowers. She could control every exotic flower in the world and was known as the Flower God. Before her death, she condensed her power and insights into a special mark, waiting for a destined person to obtain it, and unlock the Flower God Mark to inherit the Flower God’s legacy."

"Your woman must have received some assistance from a Spirit Flower before, inadvertently obtaining the Flower God Mark, and just now her near-death experience triggered it. The mysterious power within her body comes from the Flower God’s power contained within the mark," Long Qian explained.

"To think there’s such a thing as the Flower God Mark!"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled with surprise. His gaze remained fixed on the floral pattern on Yan Ruyu’s forehead, astonished that it was the Flower God’s legacy mark.

"I’m starting to believe that you, lad, are truly favored by the heavens. Not only do you possess deep opportunities and monstrous talent, but even the women around you are of extraordinary constitution. First, there was the Xuan Yue Body, and now a woman has obtained the Flower God Inheritance. You really are something else."

Long Qian continued calmly, leaving unsaid that among Xiao Yifeng’s companions was an immensely powerful Ice Snow Empress.

This lad surrounded by formidable women, Long Qian was keen to see how Xiao Yifeng would stir the Ancient Realm when he and his women entered it.

"It seems the heavens are indeed looking out for me!"

Xiao Yifeng smirked, his gaze returning to Yan Ruyu.

"You’ve now received an inheritance, so cultivate well from now on, and your strength will improve rapidly."

Xiao Yifeng said to Yan Ruyu.

Afterward, Xiao Yifeng, Yan Ruyu, and Yan Haotian left the place.

Meanwhile, Beiming Xuan had already returned to the living quarters of the Beiming Clan.

Seeing his own son’s pale face, Beiming You inquired without delay.

Beiming Xuan briefly explained the situation, his gaze locking onto Beiming You.

"Father, we must not spare that youngster. I want him dead without a place to be buried!"

Beiming Xuan’s fists clenched tightly, and he spat out these words with a ferocious expression.

"Rest assured, he has injured you and even killed members of our Beiming Clan. He must die. Otherwise, where would the dignity of our Beiming Clan stand? However, since he is currently a participant in the Martial Path tournament, it’s not advisable for us to act rashly. Such action could provoke the opposition of the Tian Mountain Sect. I will find an opportunity to help you avenge this," Beiming You said indifferently.

Meanwhile, people from the other Hidden World Clans were all discussing Xiao Yifeng, who had consecutively defeated both Beiming Xuan and Dongfang Ao, naturally arousing their concern and speculation.

The next day, the third day of the Martial Path tournament arrived, with sunlight shining over the entire Tian Mountain, where the tournament was taking place.

Early in the morning, a crowd had gathered, including representatives from the major Sect Forces and those disciples who had been eliminated, all converged here to watch today’s round-of-twenty to round-of-ten matches.

Before long, Xiao Yifeng and others arrived, encountering Mu Lishang and Luo Qianyu.

Soon after, people from several major Sects, including the Tian Mountain Sect, and the Hidden World Clans arrived, with Beiming Xuan among them.

Xiao Yifeng’s gaze fixed on Beiming Xuan, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes. The latter also noticed Xiao Yifeng’s eyes filled with killing intent and looked back at Xiao Yifeng with a scornful and provocative smile on his lips.

Watching Beiming Xuan, Xiao Yifeng’s fists tightened, making a crunching noise, his eyes brimming with relentless killing intent.

"Don’t be impulsive!" Yan Haotian said to Xiao Yifeng in a deep voice.

"Mhm!"

Xiao Yifeng took a deep breath and relaxed, suppressing all the hatred and murderous intent in his heart.

"Ladies and gentleman, today marks the third day of the Martial Path tournament and the beginning of the third round. Today is the battle for the round-of-ten, where we determine the top ten fighters of the tournament. By the end of today, ten will be eliminated," announced Mo Canghai after getting to his feet.

"By persisting until now, each of the twenty of you can be considered the elite of the Martial Arts World’s younger generation, the most gifted and powerful among them. I hope you all will showcase your full strength in this competition," he continued.

Mo Canghai then announced the rules for today’s competition.

The rules for today are the same as before, straightforward: draw lots to pair up for combat and eliminate ten people directly. However, after this round of combat, the ten eliminated have the right to challenge any of the ten winners once, and if successful, they will replace them and advance to the top ten.

"Alright, let the competition begin," said Mo Canghai, signaling the official start of today’s round.

Xiao Yifeng and the other nineteen participants began drawing lots, then searching for their adversaries.

Xiao Yifeng’s opponent was Liu Qian, a disciple of Shu Mountain and one of the three from Shu Mountain with significant strength, a disciple of the Mount Shu Yuheng Peak’s Peak Master.

As for Yan Ruyu’s opponent, it was quite coincidentally Dongfang Ao, who previously had been defeated by Xiao Yifeng’s hand, and now unexpectedly, he was paired up against Yan Ruyu.

As for the rest of the matchups, Duanmu Qingyun would combat Wu Ji, Jiamo against Xu Wei from Shu Mountain, Qijie against Xu Hai from Taiyi Sect, Yang Zhen from Tian Mountain Sect against Tong Yu from Dragon Soul.

Nangong Han would face Luo Qianyu, Mu Lishang would once again battle Wuu Tiaan, Jingfeng from Shu Mountain against Xuanyuan Hong, and Fang Mo from the Sect of Fiery Separation against Situ Qing.

Following this pairings announcement, everyone began discussing fervently, but most of the focus fell on the battle between Xuanyuan Hong and Jingfeng.

These two, one the strongest youth of the hidden Xuanyuan Clan, the other the chief disciple of the Sect Leader of the foremost Martial Arts World’s Shu Mountain, can be regarded as true scions of heaven, both with extraordinary backgrounds and status. Now merging paths, their confrontation was likened to a fierce dragon and tiger battle.

Upon learning this pairing outcome, Sect Leader Qing Yun of Shu Mountain also flashed a contemplative look.
