After the top four were decided in the fifteenth Training Arena, the other Training Arenas also quickly determined their top four.
At this moment, Le Xing stepped forward and said, "Now that all twenty Training Arenas have determined their top four, I will announce the rules for the second round of competition. The rules are simple: before the match begins, each Training Ground will have a referee who will hold four numbers. The four of you who draw the same number will compete against each other, and then the two winners will determine the group champion. Each group champion will qualify for the finals. Now I declare that the second round of competition begins, hosted separately by the referees of each group."
At this time, Huo Feng and his team walked to the center of the Training Arena. They saw that their group's referee had arrived at the center of the Training Ground. The referee was a middle-aged man with a Bearded Man appearance, who sternly said, "I am your referee now, and everything must follow the rules. However, the rules are simple: if someone shouts 'I concede,' the other person must not attack. If an attack occurs or if someone tries to kill, I will intervene, and you will be disqualified from participating in the finals. Now let's begin drawing lots."
Huo Feng walked over without hesitation and randomly picked one. Upon opening it, he saw it was a number one. Huo Feng knew he would be the first to compete against another contestant with number one. So he returned to his position to wait.
At this moment, Huo Mo and another contestant also drew lots. Huo Mo opened his lot and saw it was number two. He then walked over to check on his teammate from before, who also had drawn number two. They exchanged a helpless smile.
Finally, only Mu Yu was left. At this point, Mu Yu felt extremely frustrated; no matter what happened, he had no chance now. He recalled Huo Feng's previous fight at North City Gate, and seeing Huo Feng's performance today made him realize there was no hope. Just thinking about the humiliation he suffered at Huo Feng's hands extinguished any fighting spirit within him. He could only pray that he would not be in the same group as Huo Feng, and that Huo Feng would be defeated by someone else.
He slowly walked over to draw the last lot and opened it to find it was number one. He looked at the other three contestants but couldn't tell who would be number one, feeling extremely anxious.
At this moment, the referee spoke up: "The two number twos may leave the Training Arena, while the two number ones remain."
Mu Yu quickly looked at them, praying that Huo Feng would step down, but things often turned out unsatisfactorily. Mu Yu saw Huo Mo and another contestant walk down while only he and Huo Feng, along with the referee, remained on stage.
"Alright, are you both ready?" The referee asked after seeing that two had left.
"I am ready." Huo Feng looked at Mu Yu with a slight smile; however, to Mu Yu, this harmless smile felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart. At this moment, Mu Yu felt even more terrified.
"Are you ready?" The referee asked again when he noticed that Mu Yu did not respond, emphasizing his tone.
"Ah! I-I am ready." It seemed like Mu Yu had just snapped out of deep thought.
This scene was also witnessed by those in the highest viewing platform where the Three Great Families were seated. At this time, Muxiu had a gloomy expression while Nalan Bo looked as if he wished to tear Huo Feng apart immediately. Seeing their expressions made Huo Lianqing, who had been quite happy before, feel a tightness in his heart; he knew about how Huo Feng had crippled Nalan Kang.
"From now on, I need to pay more attention to Feng'er and let him realize the situation himself. These two old fellows definitely won't let it go easily."
At this moment, in the Training Arena, Huo Feng had already made his move. With a smile on his face, he slowly walked towards Mu Yu, step by step.
Mu Yu's psychological defenses had completely crumbled; in his eyes, Huo Feng appeared almost divine. He found himself retreating step by step in sync with Huo Feng's approach.
Suddenly, Huo Feng stopped and smiled, saying, "Do you want to retreat directly? You're already at the edge of the Training Arena."
Mu Yu turned around and realized he had indeed reached the edge; one more step and he would fall.
At that moment, Mu Yu began to snap out of his dazed state. Without thinking, he charged at Huo Feng. Seeing Mu Yu's reckless attack, Huo Feng lost interest in playing around and directly used an Earthquake Strike to knock Mu Yu unconscious. He then lightly tapped Mu Yu's abdomen with his foot, sending him flying off the stage.
"The first match goes to Huo Feng. Next group, step up," the referee announced.
Huo Feng walked off the stage while Mu Yu didn't dare to look at him and quickly ran away, clutching his stomach.
In the Training Arena, as the referee called "Start," the second group quickly began. This group consisted of Huo Mo and his previous teammate. The two quickly distanced themselves from each other; although they teamed up in the first round, there was no real bond between them—just a relationship based on mutual benefit—so the atmosphere became tense.
Huo Mo charged forward instantly, delivering a Primordial Vajra Fist towards his opponent. The opponent's waist twisted unnaturally as his upper body leaned significantly to the right without moving his feet. This caught Huo Feng's attention. "What combat technique is this? The body can change so drastically. It seems Nottingham City has some hidden talents. Huo Mo might not be able to handle him."
As Huo Feng pondered this, the opponent struck Huo Mo's waist with a side palm, causing blood to trickle from Huo Mo's mouth as he retreated cautiously.
"It seems he concealed his strength in the first round; he's not easy to deal with."
While Huo Mo was contemplating how to respond, the opponent charged at him with a punch. Huo Mo quickly dodged and retaliated with another Primordial Vajra Fist, only for it to shatter against an illusory shadow.
Before Huo Mo could react, a violent force struck his waist from behind, accompanied by a voice.
"You've lost."
Huo Mo realized that he truly could not compete; if the opponent's attack landed, he would surely die.
"I concede."
After saying that, Huo Mo helplessly walked off the stage.
At that moment, the referee approached the Training Arena and said, "The winners of the previous round, please come up for the final showdown."
Huo Feng quickly walked onto the Training Arena. The referee looked at them deeply and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready," the other person nodded.
Years of solitary living had made him somewhat reluctant to speak, while Huo Feng simply nodded at the referee.
On the Training Arena, Huo Feng looked at the other person and smiled, saying, "Your Combat Techniques are quite unique; they fill me with fighting spirit."
"I know you are strong, but in order to stand out, I will give it my all. Those two Combat Techniques I used earlier nearly cost me my life to acquire. One is a body refinement Combat Technique, but it focuses not on physical strength but on flexibility. The other is a movement Combat Technique, so be prepared."
"You too."
At that moment, the other person's figure became illusory, accompanied by a series of afterimages rushing towards Huo Feng. Huo Feng found it difficult to pinpoint his exact location and had to remain alert to counteract the movement.
Suddenly, Huo Feng felt a violent force coming towards his back. Not daring to be careless, he released an "Earthquake Strike" on the spot.
In that critical moment, the violent force halted behind Huo Feng. He quickly turned around and executed a "Push Palm," but the other person managed to jump away just in time. It seemed this person was not much different from Huo Feng; he instantly snapped out of his dazed state and leaped away.
Now both were cautiously watching each other, with no movements from either side. Huo Feng spoke up: "I have broken your movement Combat Technique; now it's my turn to attack."
With that, Huo Feng's smiling face turned serious as a faint white light appeared in his palm and shot towards the other person.
"Push Palm"
"Even so, you still can't do anything to me."
He stood still, just like when he dealt with Huo Mo, twisting his upper body to evade the attack. Huo Feng, not giving him a chance to counterattack during his dodge, accelerated his assault, launching several "Push Palm" strikes in different directions. However, all were evaded by the man. Huo Feng had no choice but to retreat instantly and said, "I will win this match. You can't do anything to me."
"Is that so? You can't do anything to me either, can you?"
Despite the ongoing battle, Huo Feng noticed a problem: while executing that body technique-like Combat Technique, the man's feet had not moved an inch. Thus, Huo Feng decided to take a gamble.
Huo Feng attacked again with "Push Palm", and the man laughed, saying, "It's useless. We are on the same level; your attacks are just a waste of effort. Once you exhaust your Origin Force, I will be the final winner."
However, the next second he was stunned as Huo Feng's seemingly chest-targeted strike changed direction while his left hand extended.
"Earthquake Strike"
In that brief moment of dizziness caused by the 'Earthquake Strike', Huo Feng's Push Palm struck the man's right leg. With a cry of "Ah," the man fell to the ground. His right leg was already deformed, clearly broken.
"Impossible! How could this happen? It takes such monstrous comprehension and abundant Origin Force to execute a Combat Technique with one hand." The man wore an expression of disbelief and unwillingness; with his leg broken, there was clearly no need to continue fighting. At this moment, he was no match for Huo Feng's single move.
Huo Feng smiled as he approached him and helped him up, saying, "Your biggest mistake was trusting your Combat Techniques too much, which made you overlook their weaknesses. Your flaw was that your feet didn't move while executing that Combat Technique, so I took a gamble and won. So, how about it? Are you convinced now?"
Though extremely unwilling, the man had to face reality and said to the referee, "I concede."
The referee then approached and announced, "Training Arena No. 15, winner: Huo Feng."
Huo Feng smiled slightly at the referee and then helped the man off the Training Arena.
After coming down, Huo Feng looked towards other performance stages and noticed that nearly half of them had already finished their matches; only a few were still engaged in their final battles. Huo Feng walked towards his father. As he reached the highest viewing platform, he distinctly felt two killing intents directed at him. Upon looking over, he realized it was Nalan Bo and Muxiu. However, at that moment, the host from Azure Wave Palace shot them a glance, causing them to retract their killing intent in fear and refrain from further actions.
Huo Feng smiled as he looked at them, which made their expressions even worse. He couldn't be bothered with them anymore and walked over to Huo Lianqing, calling out, "Father."
Huo Lianqing felt an immense sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Hahaha... Good son, you have indeed brought honor to your father. Come sit beside me and let's see who made it to the finals."
Huo Feng sat down next to Huo Lianqing and quietly waited.
Soon, all the matches in the Training Arena were completed. The twenty judges ascended to the highest viewing platform and respectfully addressed the host, saying, "Lord Le Xing, all arenas have determined their victors. Here is the list."
One of them handed over a list. Le Xing reviewed it and said, "Alright, thank you for your hard work. You may leave now."
He then walked to the front of the platform and shouted, "Silence! I now announce the twenty finalists: Mu Xue, Gao Ran, Nalan Feijun, Liu Chong. The selection competition is now complete, and I look forward to even more spectacular performances in the finals."
With that, he vanished like a gust of wind. At this moment, the three clan leaders were also exceptionally shocked; Azure Wave Palace was truly remarkable.
Seeing Le Xing leave, Huo Feng followed Huo Lianqing out, while Muxiu and Nalan Bo snorted in anger and left with a flick of their sleeves.
