Chapter 465: 235 weaklings

These two challenge matches, Bai Xiao squinted and watched throughout.

Xia Houping’s combat style is dominant, his boxing fierce, possessing extremely strong offensiveness and aggressiveness. Once he takes the initiative, what follows is a suffocating suppression, each punch heavier than the last, each punch stronger than the last. His opponent in the challenge match wasn’t weak either, estimated to be within the top thirty from the Eastern region. However, facing Xia Houping’s increasingly powerful three punches, he was defeated on the spot.

Bai Xiao estimated in his heart that if he were to face Xia Houping later, he would definitely need to seize the initiative. Use an even fiercer offensive to suppress the opponent’s aggressiveness. In the process of exchanging blows, constantly look for opportunities to secure victory at once.

And the second challenge match ended even quicker.

Si Yu, deserving of being the tenth-generation Shadow Assassin inheritor, a killer among killers. Unpredictable concealed aura, suddenly disappearing movement techniques, a one-hit elimination combat style. The opponent had no chance to even react before being forced into helplessness and surrender. It seems that Shadow Assassin Si Yu won even more easily than Xia Houping.

In actuality, this is due to his combat style.

Without a doubt, Shadow Assassin is a synonym for danger, for the vast majority of participants from the Eastern Dark World fighting tournaments, the most dangerous of the Seven Stars is this one. But, coincidentally, Bai Xiao actually restrains him!

Exercising terrifying hard skills to every corner of his body, completely integrated robust Qi-Blood, peak defense without any openings. Even if Si Yu could teleport, it wouldn’t matter, from top to bottom, left or right, wherever he attacks. Unless Si Yu used those hugely powerful moves, however, once he uses such moves, his aura and movement technique inevitably expose, giving Bai Xiao a chance to see through his flaws. The hardest of the Seven Stars for Si Yu to fight is normally Mountain King Chen Xiu.

In the spectator seats, Bai Xiao silently withdrew his gaze.

On the stage, Shadow Assassin Si Yu, who had just instantly defeated his opponent, was slowly turning his head towards his direction. Their eyes met, within Si Yu’s dark pupils, there was a faint hint of provocation and disdain. His gaze seemed to be questioning, why not dare to challenge? Are you finally scared?

Si Yu’s gaze lingered for about ten or more seconds.

However, Bai Xiao ignored him.

Consequently, Si Yu left the stage ruefully.

Yesterday, during the exchange meeting, Bai Xiao interacted with Si Yu, sensing his aura, initially thought he was a bloodthirsty savage.

Act first, talk later; act first, kill later.

However, after returning to the hotel and flipping through some related documents, and chatting with Mountain King Chen Xiu, he realized. Si Yu is just a bratty kid, treating all his actions like the rashness typical of an adolescent. Because, Si Yu indeed is just a bratty kid, who just turned twenty this year. He is the youngest participant in this Eastern Dark World fighting competition.

As for why at such a young age, he has already cultivated to the Martial Artist Extreme Realm, that’s probably related to his master. During the previous Huai Shui City Dark World fighting tournament, there was someone called Ghost Wolf He Xiang, who also mysteriously achieved the strength of a Martial Artist, which was the result of his master’s transmission of skills.

Si Yu, probably has a similar backstory.

Of course, his master is still very much alive, probably due to another opportunity.

"I don’t care if you’re a murderous cold-blooded assassin, or a rash bratty kid going through adolescence. If you block my way, you will only be crushed," Bai Xiao coldly sneered in his heart. His will is exceptionally firm, to win the championship of the big tournament!

Before this goal is achieved, whoever comes will die.

On the stage, the referee surveyed the surroundings once over.

Then, loudly announced the end of the first round of challenge matches.

"Next, the first round of the elimination match officially begins!"

Because it was held at He Xian Martial Arts Hall’s modern Guofeng venue, it wasn’t as convenient as an indoor gymnasium. The black-clad referee had to call out the matchups one by one. This time, there were no numbers, directly calling out the names of the participants from each sect. Immediately, the noisy spectator seats quieted.

Bai Xiao sat in Fierce Bird Sect’s designated chairs, closing his eyes to rest his spirit.

Nearby, he heard a quiet conversation.

"Blood-calling Fist Feng Yan, why didn’t she fight just now? Hasn’t she always wanted to challenge the Eastern Seven Stars? Such a good opportunity, yet she didn’t make a move..."

"Then look at Heavy Smoke Fist Huo Feng, Magic Gun Extreme Martial Arts Hall Yuanwei, did these two fight? Don’t be naive, man, they aren’t fools. Since they can at least secure the top sixteen, why would they challenge the Eastern Seven Stars early and risk elimination? Isn’t it still possible to encounter them moving from top sixteen to top eight? According to what you said, were those originally ranked in the top fifteen, even aiming for top ten, ended up being swept out in the first round? More than sixty contenders sent home? The one who just went up to challenge is the fool, at least among the top thirty, and now counted from the bottom..."

"Right, speaking of the top fifteen, who are they? The top fifteen are essentially the best below the Eastern Seven Stars, and later on, as the Eastern Seven Stars gradually breakthrough to higher realms, if they don’t exceed thirty years old, they might naturally become the new generation of Eastern Seven Stars."

"The three aforementioned individuals, then Five-pointed Star Ye Meng, Flowing Light Fist Fang Chao, Red Falcon Fist Ba Ming. Oh right... and that Fierce Fist Bai Xiao!"

"This name, I’ve never heard before, an emerging dark horse?"

"An extremely dark dark horse, champion of the Nanjiang Province fighting tournament, dominating the semifinals and finals over Nanjiang Shuangxiong. This person’s skills are probably at least in the top ten, enough to rank alongside Feng Yan and others. Looking forward to the next matches, I really fancy his chances. Maybe he could even attempt to challenge an Eastern Seven Star? Hahaha, just kidding. But as the Eastern Seven Stars move on to become sect leaders, disdainful of such rankings, the new generation of Eastern Seven Stars should include him..."
