Chapter 349: 178, one punch per person!

The first core of Gale Iron Slash Fist, defeated so quickly? Before the fight, didn’t some people say that Ding Yang would be the biggest opponent of Xing Lie from Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall in this Martial Arts Exchange Conference... The result is that the two of them only fought for a total of one minute?

The audience seating area, a disciple asked with doubt in their voice.

"Who knows? According to the predictions before the match, it wasn’t wrong. Ding Yang was vaguely ranked as the second among the young generation in Heng Guang City, and before Wu Binghe died, Xing Lie was also roughly placed second in Huaisui City. A battle between two seconds, shouldn’t it be a fierce dragon and tiger fight? But the result seems to be a bit too one-sided..."

Someone by the side interjected with an explanation.

"Even among seconds, there is a difference!"

The many gazes in the audience seating area focused on Xing Lie, almost all of them had a premonition that Xing Lie would probably be the number one in the individual category of this Martial Arts Exchange Conference. The influence of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall in Huaisui City would also embrace a moment of taking off after accumulating strength, completely replacing the Fierce Bird Sect, and occupying the speaking rights in the Secret Martial World.

"The number one of the Martial Arts Exchange Conference will only be our eldest senior brother!"

"Our eldest senior brother will definitely be able to defeat Bai Xiao easily and help us take our revenge!"

In the audience area where Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall was seated, many elite disciples and core disciples clenched their fists in excitement, their faces flushed with emotion, and thought to themselves. Among them, a portion of the core disciples had slightly pale faces, their bodies faintly bearing injuries. They were the ones who had crossed paths with Bai Xiao during the previous Martial Arts Association’s action to clear out the Void Demons in Huaisui City. Now, with the scars forgotten as the pain faded, and with the support of their powerfully skilled eldest senior brother, they have already begun to fantasize about stepping on Bai Xiao to vent their anger.

Gale Iron Slash Fist, medical personnel and elite disciples, supported their own sect’s eldest senior brother to the audience seats, and through a small door between the seats, they carried him into the building inside the stadium. Beside them, an elderly man with gray hair followed closely, who seemed to be Ding Yang’s master, with a very concerned expression.

"Master, I lost."

"Xing Lie is much stronger than I had imagined..."

Lying flat on the white cloth stretcher, Ding Yang spoke with a bit of bitterness.

Apart from pain, there was also a sense of loss and defeat in his expression.

"Xiao Yang, it’s not your fault, you don’t have to blame yourself."

The white-haired elder comforted softly, but it seemed not to have a great effect. So he continued to say: "If I’m not mistaken, this man Xing Lie, has probably broken through the Breaker Realm and become a Martial Artist..."

Ding Yang turned his head in some shock. What his master said was unexpected yet reasonable. He himself was only one step away from the Martial Fighter Realm, and if Xing Lie was still a Breaker, no matter how strong he was, he shouldn’t be able to crush him so easily, unless he possessed some earth-shattering, heaven-sent secret martial technique. However, in the fight just now, Ding Yang didn’t feel anything, Xing Lie simply suppressed him effortlessly, as easy as turning his hand.

"Right, I should’ve thought of this..."

Ding Yang murmured to himself, the dull colors in his eyes gradually condensing again.

With a psychological comfort, he felt much better. Losing to a Martial Artist one realm stronger than himself was not shameful; it was a normal occurrence. If he could cross realms and forcefully defeat a Martial Artist, that would be truly astounding.

"Moreover, according to my judgment, Bai Xiao from Fierce Bird Sect is probably also at the Martial Fighter Realm. Of course, I’m not very certain, mainly because in his previous fight with Chen Hu, he mainly showcased his formidable Hard Skill without revealing much else. But even just Horizontal Training alone was already extremely exaggerated..."

The white-haired elder continued.

"Two Martial Artists?!"

"A Martial Arts Exchange Conference in Huaisui City, and there are two Martial Artists among the young generation? On our side in Heng Guang, there is only Xia Qing among the young generation! Right, if Wu Binghe from the Fierce Bird Sect hadn’t fallen, wouldn’t there be three Martial Artists in Huaisui City? Are there so many geniuses and freaks emerging..."

Ding Yang completely gave up and shook his head helplessly, closing his eyes.

He let his senior and junior brothers carry him into the infirmary for treatment.

"Oh right, He Yong, go out and take a look for me, see who won the final match of the individuals. Whether it’s Xing Lie or Bai Xiao, come back and tell me after the results are out..."

He instructed a young man by the bedside with a weak expression.

...

Fiery Fire Stadium, just like its name, the atmosphere inside became hotter and more fervent. Fighting and competition were the things that most roused people’s blood, and a mix of all sorts of noises together made it extraordinarily lively.

The second round of the individual matches ended.

The first core of Echo Sword got lucky with a bye in the current round.

With eight competitors remaining, four of them were the first core of their respective sects. They were strong contenders for the championship; it was unknown if they would meet in advance. If they encountered each other in the third round, that would be very interesting.

As time ticked away, the announcer quickly took the stage to declare.

"Number five versus number twelve!"

"The third round of the individual matches, the first fight, begins."

The two disciples went up on stage one after the other, as neither were the first core, so it did not cause much of an uproar. It wasn’t until the end of the match when the announcer declared the pairing for the second match of the third round that the place erupted in an uproar.

All the spectators became excited, with smiles on their faces.

Because for the second match, none were the first core either.

This also meant that in the upcoming third and fourth matches, four first cores from four major sects would spar against each other, a pinnacle clash.

"Awesome, even if I die, the ticket price was worth it!"
