Yun Yan ascended the high platform, facing off against another young talent from a small family who had just broken through to the Refining Body Ninth Layer. Against Yun Yan, who had reached the peak of Refining Body Level Nine, the opponent could only manage a few desperate moves before being knocked off the platform.
The competition continued swiftly, and the first round concluded with over a hundred participants eliminated, leaving only one hundred and twenty on the high platform. Soon, the second round of the County Tournament began.
Yun Fan drew number nine and faced a disciple from the Wu Family, also a Heavenly Talent, who had achieved Refining Body Ninth Layer. The two fought fiercely on the platform, unleashing various martial techniques. Yun Fan remained on the defensive, not launching any attacks.
The Wu Family disciple grew impatient and unleashed a powerful surge of energy, aiming to defeat Yun Fan. However, in a moment of distraction, he was unexpectedly kicked off the platform by Yun Fan.
Other Heavenly Talents took to the high platform as well, effortlessly defeating their opponents with a single move to secure victories in the second round. Before long, this round concluded with only sixty participants remaining. The Yun Family had lost thirteen disciples but still had ten standing on the platform. The other Four Great Families were in similar standings, each with around ten members still competing.
The remaining slots were filled by families led by Xuanjing Qiang. While they couldn't compare to the Four Great Families, they were significantly stronger than smaller families. Among them, several had broken through to Zhenjing and still held hopes of reaching the top four.
All sixty remaining competitors were exceptionally strong; even those who hadn't reached Zhenjing had attained Refining Body Level Nine Peak and could contend against Zhenjing practitioners.
The third round of competition commenced. Various Heavenly Talents took their places on their respective arenas. Arena One featured Li Chusheng facing off against Yun Chuan from the Yun Family. At twenty-two years old, Yun Chuan had reached Refining Body Level Nine Peak and was expected to break through to Zhenjing by twenty-five, earning him recognition as a Heavenly Talent within his family.
As Li Chusheng watched Yun Chuan approach, a smirk appeared on his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Just as the referee called for the match to begin, Li Chusheng's figure vanished in an instant. His True Power erupted fully as he charged toward Yun Chuan at lightning speed.
Yun Chuan felt his heart race as he saw this overwhelming attack coming toward him; fear filled his eyes as he prepared to shout for surrender. However, before he could utter a word, Li Chusheng's speed was too great—he swiftly seized Yun Chuan by the neck, rendering any words of surrender silent.
With a powerful punch, the blow struck Yun Chuan in the abdomen, and the sound of cracking bones echoed through the air. Yun Chuan was sent flying, blood spewing from his mouth as he fell to the ground, instantly losing consciousness.
The onlookers from the Yun Family were filled with shock and anger at the sight. A few disciples rushed to carry the unconscious Yun Chuan away, examining him closely, only to find that his meridians were completely shattered. It was clear that Li Chusheng had intended to kill; even if he survived, he would be left a cripple, and there was a chance that his injuries could worsen.
Yun Feng's gaze turned icy as he looked toward the Li Family, coldly questioning, "What is the meaning of this?"
Li Gaodan maintained a calm demeanor, waving his hand dismissively as he replied with a smile, "Yun Xiong, it’s quite normal for things to get a bit rough during a match in the Arena. There’s no need to make such a fuss; Li Chusheng didn’t break any rules. Or could it be that your Yun Family's disciples are all weaklings who can’t even withstand a single punch?"
The surrounding members of the Li Family and Liu Family erupted into laughter, their faces filled with mockery at Yun Feng's words.
