Chapter 345: 176 Martial Arts Exchange Conference_2

Around the arena, there are no spectator seats, but rather a circle of emptiness—to prevent splashing injuries. Disciples from various sects, several elders, and even some outsiders closely related to the Secret Martial World who had been invited were all seated in the circular spectator stands. At this moment, many had already taken their seats sporadically.

"That’s the Fierce Bird Sect team?"

"The Fierce Bird Sect team has arrived!"

"Hmm? Why hasn’t Yan Qi arrived? Out of the seven core disciples, only one has come, and it’s the seventh core! No, this seventh core seems to have now become the first core. It seems those rumors are true..."

In the spectator seats, disciples and elders from various sects were discussing animatedly. This was the first time the Fierce Bird Sect was participating in the meeting since that great battle.

Just as the rumors said, the Fierce Bird Sect was heavily damaged.

Sect Leader Yan Qi must be seriously injured, and the core disciples suffered heavy casualties?

"Is this the Fierce Bird Sect?"

"Where are Yan Qi and Wu Binghe?"

In the southwest corner, two sects from Heng Guang City, Echo Sword and Gale Iron Slash Fist, were also exchanging views with each other, somewhat puzzled. Through the nearby Rock Tiger Sect, they learned that there were signs of decline in the Fierce Bird Sect after its heavy losses.

"It looks like at this Martial Arts Exchange Conference, the Fierce Bird Sect will perform the worst..."

"If that Bai Xiao has strong personal strength, he might be able to salvage some face in the individual matches. But in the team competition, it will undoubtedly be a loss of face. Next, let’s pay attention to Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, that’s the biggest competitor..."

Several elders quietly exchanged words, their eyes flickering.

In the hallway of the gymnasium, Chen Liao led the Fierce Bird Sect team, facing many glances as they arrived at their designated spectator area. In the middle of this area, there were doors leading inside the gymnasium building.

If any accidents occurred, they could go inside to change clothes and apply bandages.

Before two o’clock in the afternoon, everyone was seated in their own seats.

The competition had not officially begun yet, and the gymnasium was still echoing with the chattering of the disciples. On the Fierce Bird Sect’s side, several elite disciples, brought over to make up the numbers, were also excitedly discussing. Their eyes repeatedly swept curiously over the others.

"Rock Tiger Sect’s Chen Hu, Steel Bell Sect’s Lv Tang, Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall’s Xing Lie. Tsk tsk, it’s my first time seeing so many top five young warriors from Huai Shui City. They must not be far from breaking through to the Martial Fighter Realm..."

An elite disciple with semi-long hair pointed out.

He pointed in three directions, to the southwest corner, where a young man in a gray combat suit sat, a tiger pattern on his chest. With an inverted triangle physique, bulging chest muscles, and a fierce yet commanding face, he was Chen Hu, the top core disciple of the Rock Tiger Sect. His Evil Tiger Fist was already perfected.

To the east, a man in a black tight short-sleeve shirt, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his arms thicker than a human head, with veins faintly pulsing.

Lv Tang, the top core disciple from the Steel Bell Sect, practiced both horizontal training and hard skill, extremely robust!

As for the west, it was the position of the host, Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall. Xing Lie, sitting with his eyes closed, appeared unconcerned with the outer world, his expression one of disdain.

"The two sects from Heng Guang City, I heard they are also very strong. There are five official sects in Heng Guang City altogether, with Echo Sword and Gale Iron Slash Fist ranking third and second respectively. That white-haired one must be the top core disciple of Echo Sword, both beautiful and ferocious with the sword. In contrast, the master brother of Gale Iron Slash Fist looks quite shabby, dark and thin, but his strength is very strong..."

On the Echo Sword side, a woman dressed in a plain white outfit, tall and slender, her fine white hair gathered at the back into a high ponytail.

She held a sword with both hands, her appearance was graceful and beautiful, but her expression was sharp and fierce.

As if she would draw her sword and kill at the slightest disagreement.

Time slowly passed, and the host, Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, finally prepared.

Bai Xiao’s familiar acquaintance, deputy head Luo Yan of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, quickly took the stage, began the opening speech for the Martial Arts Exchange Conference. Of course, the conference was not any government body, so the speech ended quickly, and the conference was declared open.

Each participating sect had five slots.

Six sects altogether, making it thirty people, not too many.

Numbers from one to thirty were randomly assigned to the competitors.

Bai Xiao, coincidentally, was number one.

He sat on a blue plastic seat, looking at the round red tag.

"Beep..."

The gymnasium’s public address system emitted a dull sound.

In the middle of the arena, a host in a fiery red uniform stood at the center, adjusting his microphone a few times before speaking.

"This Martial Arts Exchange Conference will start with the individual matches."

"The individual match will be a knockout format; once you lose, you’re out. With thirty competitors, we will now proceed with the first round, thirty down to fifteen!"

The host’s loud voice suppressed the noise in the entire gymnasium.

After a brief introduction, he suddenly raised his voice.,

"I declare the individual matches officially begin!!!"

"First up... is..."

"Number nine, against number twenty-two!"

The host stepped off the platform, walking step by step to an empty spot on the side.

Suddenly, a disciple from the Rock Tiger Sect stood up, and made his way down the aisle next to the seats, heading towards the center arena. However, the next second, some surprised murmurs arose around him. The disciple looked up, and with a gulp, realized he was matched against Xing Lie from the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall!

With a gloomy face, he could only grit his teeth and go forward.

Bad luck, no choice, but absolutely not giving up standing still.
