Martial Gathering Island. As the old man's voice fell from the sky, a halo rose from his hand.
Within the halo, four rotating light tokens could be seen.
Whoosh! A woman sitting in front of Lin Yun stood up and reached out her hand to grab a token from the halo.
Gu Yan whispered from the side, "This is Sister Mengqi."
Lin Yun nodded and glanced at Gu Mengqi, who was dressed in plain clothes. After a moment, his gaze shifted from her to the light token in her hand.
The light from the token was currently connected to the Su Family's direction.
"The first match is the Su Family..."
Just as Lin Yun was thinking, Gu Mengqi in front turned her head and said, "You two should also draw lots. This will randomly decide your opponents."
Lin Yun nodded, reached out and took a light token. Then, a beam of light extended and, under the gaze of countless eyes, connected to a light token held by an exceptionally thin, ordinary man.
Whoosh! When this scene appeared, a burst of noise immediately spread from the surroundings.
"That person doesn't seem to be from the Gu Family. He should be an external helper, right? Why can't I feel any aura from him?"
"Yeah, it's so strange."
"..."
Hearing the discussions around him, Lin Yun didn't pay attention. He calmly said to the two people beside him, "Let's enter the arena."
Lin Yun had roughly observed the strength distribution of the people assigned to Gu Yan and Gu Mengqi.
As expected, it should be one win and one loss. The outcome of the matches was in his hands, so he wasn't worried at all.
Even if they couldn't win, he could still let the people on the other side come at him all at once and enter Asura mode.
Thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Gu Yan and Gu Mengqi had already entered their respective arenas.
Lin Yun also quickly entered one of the arenas, and then his gaze locked onto the person opposite him.
In mid-air, the old man from the Shen Tu Family, with sharp eyes, scanned the arena and then said indifferently, "Since everyone has entered the arena, the competition will begin. Also, during the exchange, fists and feet have no eyes, and any injuries sustained are your own responsibility."
Boom! As his voice fell, a surge of majestic Origin Power erupted from the three squares. Then, in two of them, figures immediately intertwined, and the battles instantly began.
Countless gazes converged on the three squares, and then many people's attention lingered on the third square.
"Su Yan of the Su Family." Su Yan smiled faintly at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun nodded and replied, "Lin Yun!"
"Brother Lin Yun, I apologize, but I need to win this match for my Su Family," Su Yan said with a smile.
Lin Yun also smiled and said, "Same here, I also need to win."
Thinking of this, he established a task in his mind.
[Task: Defeat Su Yan. Reward: One million Xuan Yuan Pills.]
Hearing the task reward in his mind, a smile appeared on his face. It can still be successfully established, and the reward is not bad. It seems there are some benefits to not breaking through.
Just as he was thinking, Su Yan opposite him extended his hand and said, "Alright, Brother Lin Yun, I'll make my move."
"Alright!" As Lin Yun's voice fell, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
His terrifying speed left a lingering afterimage.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Su Yan.
"What?" Su Yan's eyes suddenly narrowed, a hint of disbelief in them.
How can he be so fast? Is he really only at the Life Profound Realm?
Thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and the energy on Su Yan's body rapidly condensed.
"Black Demon Undying Body!"
He could no longer dodge this punch and could only take it head-on.
Bang!
The fist, filled with Thunder Marks and Azure Dragon Marks, instantly shattered Su Yan's Origin Power shield and heavily struck his body.
Boom!
The energy on Su Yan's body was instantly shattered, and then his body was violently sent crashing into the ground. Cracks on the ground instantly spread out in all directions.
This scene caused the originally noisy square to fall silent. Countless gazes stared at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the arena.
Then, they slowly lowered their heads and saw a figure covered in blood struggling to climb up from the huge cracked pit, but ultimately only able to fall back down powerlessly.
The sound coming from the pit made everyone's eyes jump. Su Yan, the strongest fighter of the Su Family, was actually defeated by Lin Yun with a single punch.
"Gu Family, Lin Yun wins."
The old man from the Shen Tu Family glanced at Lin Yun and then announced.
Following his announcement, Lin Yun also said to Su Yan, who was being helped up, "Thank you for the concession."
Su Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a bitter smile. "Brother Lin Yun's strength is far superior to mine. This championship battle is going to be exciting."
After they finished speaking, Su Yan retreated back to his family, and Lin Yun also returned to the Gu Family and sat down. The eyes of the Gu Family disciples were filled with admiration.
Not long after, the two battles on the field had already ended.
As Lin Yun had guessed, Gu Mengqi won, and Gu Yan lost, but it didn't affect the final result.
"Young Master Lin Yun, thank you for your trouble."
"Next is the match between the Wei Family and the Song Family, but the Wei Family is stronger. If nothing unexpected happens, we will meet them in the next round."
Lin Yun nodded upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the Wei Family and the Gu Family, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness.
"It won't be easy to win."
Gu Mengqi, who was beside him, nodded with a bitter smile. If she drew Wei Zhen or Chen Luo, the Gu Family would have no chance of winning.
In the arena, as the battle between the Gu Family and the Su Family ended, the elder from the Shen Tu Family once again announced the start of the next round of matches. This time, it was the Wei Family versus the Song Family.
Overall, the clash between the two families, while exciting, didn't produce too many surprises.
Facing the two powerful figures from the Wei Family, Wei Zhen and Chen Luo, the Song Family tried their best to resist, but aside from Song Tai who managed to hold on for dozens of rounds against Wei Zhen before being defeated, the other two matches were complete losses. This 3-0 record caused an uproar in the arena and also allowed the Wei Family to successfully advance to the next round.
With the end of the Wei Family's battle, the next match was between the Wei Family and the Gu Family.
Only by winning this match could they challenge the previous champion, the Shen Tu Family.
At this moment, countless gazes swept across the seats of the Gu Family and the Wei Family. Whispers spread, clearly comparing the combat strength of both sides.
"Among the Wei Family, both Wei Zhen and Chen Luo have the qualifications to challenge the Life Profound Realm Greater Completion. Even the weakest Wei Li has reached the peak of the Life Profound Realm Lesser Completion. The only way we can win is if I draw Wei Li and win, then we'll have a chance," Gu Mengqi said with a light sigh, biting her lip.
Gu Shuo, who was sitting in the Gu Family's seats, also looked over at them and said helplessly, "Mengqi, you draw the lots first."
Gu Mengqi nodded slightly. With a flick of her jade hand, the light slip in her hand split into "Wei Three". Then, under the supervision of the Shen Tu Family's referee, she handed it to Lin Yun and Gu Yan.
Afterward, Gu Mengqi's gaze fell upon the light slip in her hand.
