The rotating piece of paper sometimes reveals the numbers on it.

Seeing that the piece of paper was getting closer and closer, the Five Peaks Peak Masters, including the Five Elements Sect's leader, the Golden Peak Peak Master 'Guo Chong', took action together.

Wow!

When Guo Chong raised his hand, an invisible force rose into the air and swept towards the ten pieces of paper. It was so violent that it caused bursts of ear-piercing explosions in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

The master of Mu Peak, ‘Qi Yu’, the master of Fire Peak, ‘Cha Bai’, the master of Water Peak, ‘Yu Fang’, and the master of Earth Peak, ‘Tian Gu’, also took action almost at the same time.

However, their speed is not as fast as Guo Chong.

Phew! Phew!

Soon, two of the pieces of paper seemed to be pulled by two invisible forces, and instantly turned into two bolts of lightning, which shot towards Guo Chong quickly, and were caught by Guo Chong.

Jin Feng's two pieces of paper were obtained in this way.

"No. 1, No. 10."

Duan Lingtian has sharp eyes, and he saw the numbers on the two pieces of paper as early as when they were pulled towards Guo Chong.

He knew that this was the number chosen by Guo Chong.

And he chose these two numbers, presumably to Jin Feng's benefit.

Phew! Phew!

The second person to get two pieces of paper was Mu Peak Peak Master ‘Qi Yu’, who was recognized by most people in the Five Elements Sect as the second strongest person in the Five Elements Sect.

The two pieces of paper he got were numbers 5 and 6.

It's obviously a deliberate choice.

As for the peak masters of the other three peaks, they were evenly matched. In the end, they completely disrupted the remaining six pieces of paper, and each of them randomly selected two of them.

"Take it."

Qi Yu handed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu. Duan Lingtian got the number 5 and Huang Daniu got the number 6.

"What's the use?"

Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

"The Battle of the Five Peaks is a personal battle, starting from the beginning to the end, with staggered battles... For example, No. 1 and No. 10 will have the first battle; No. 2 and No. 9 will have the second battle."

Shen Wei explained: "By analogy... No. 5, No. 6, the fifth battle! This is the first round."

Duan Lingtian suddenly realized, "So, Daniel and I will face each other in the first round... Then, as representatives of Mu Feng, we can discuss who will advance first?"

"That's it."

Shen Wei nodded.

"No wonder the sect leader took No. 1 and No. 10. It turns out he had the same idea."

Duan Lingtian completely understood.

Soon, the Battle of Five Peaks began.

The first battle.

No. 1 vs. No. 10.

Jinfeng, No. 1 Nangong Chen, No. 10 Nangong Yi.

No. 10 Nangong Yi advanced.

"Um?"

Duan Lingtian frowned, he didn't expect Nangong Yi to be promoted, "Logically speaking, since Nangong Chen knows that I can construct an 'illusion' using mental means, and also knows my level of mental power, then he should know that Nangong Yi is not me.

His opponent...but why did he let Nangong Yi advance?"

Duan Lingtian was puzzled by this point.

Soon, after hearing Shen Wei's explanation, he suddenly realized.

"In the 'Individual Battle' of the Battle of Five Peaks, if you advance to the later stages... the people who were eliminated earlier can challenge anyone except the person they previously surrendered or lost to."

These are Shen Wei’s original words.

This continues until the specific ranking of the individual battle is determined.

Therefore, Nangong Yi's promotion does not mean that Nangong Chen has no chance to aspire to the top rankings. Instead, he will become the finale, helping Jinfeng reach the top at the critical moment!

"You two, I also suggest that Daniel advance first... Duan Lingtian, you are temporarily recharging your energy and collecting taxes. Unless the other eight people from the four peaks are no match for Daniel, in that case, Daniel can win the 'first place'!" Otherwise, you still have a chance to surpass the ranking of Daniel."

Shen Wei continued.

"Um."

Duan Lingtian nodded, as for Huang Daniu, there is no problem.

He considered himself inferior to Duan Lingtian, so he might as well let Duan Lingtian rest and take the lead himself.

Anyway, later on, it was Duan Lingtian who fought for the top spot in the individual battle for ‘Mu Feng’.

After No. 10 Nangong Yi advances, No. 2 will play against No. 9.

No. 2, another female disciple of Shuifeng.

No. 9, Huofeng, Hu Fei.

Facing Hu Fei, Shuifeng's female disciple was very self-aware and directly admitted defeat, and Hu Fei advanced to No. 9.

The Battle of Five Peaks continues.

No. 3 vs. No. 8.

No. 3, Tu Feng, Tian Zhen.

No. 8, another male disciple of Tufeng.

Tian Zhen admitted defeat, recuperating his energy like Nangong Chen, waiting for the rough results to come out before taking the initiative to challenge and strive for a good ranking for Tufeng.

On the 8th, another male disciple of Tufeng advanced.

No. 4 vs. No. 7.

No. 4, another male disciple of Huofeng.

No. 7, Shui Feng, Tan Huan.

No. 7 Tan Huan was promoted.

Then it was the turn of Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu of Nos. 5 and 6. Duan Lingtian surrendered and Huang Daniu advanced.

This is how the first round results came out.

It's a coincidence that in the first round, the ones who took the initiative to admit defeat or were defeated happened to be No. 1 to No. 5.

No. 6 to No. 10 are all promoted.

They are:

Huang Daniu, Tan Huan, another male disciple of Tufeng, Hu Fei, Nangong Yi.

Continue the staggered battle.

In the first round, Huang Daniu faced off against Nangong Yi. The two stood in the air, facing each other.

"Da Niu, this Nangong Yi has already broken through to the 'seventh level of Dongxu Realm'. Even if you admit defeat in this battle, no one will laugh at you."

This is what Shen Wei said to Huang Daniu before he came on stage.

But Huang Daniu still came on the stage without any hesitation.

According to his words:

It was rare for a 'Seventh Level Dongxu Realm Warrior' to fight against him without any danger to his life, so he didn't want to miss it.

"This Huang Daniu actually dares to fight with Senior Brother Yi. I really don't want to live anymore!"

"Senior Brother Yi is a 'seventh-level warrior in the Dongxu Realm'... This Huang Daniu is said to be only a 'fifth-level warrior in the Dongxu Realm'. I really don't know where he got such courage to dare to fight against Senior Brother Yi."

"With just one face-to-face encounter, Senior Brother Yi will definitely be able to defeat him easily!"

…

The group of Five Elements Sect disciples who were watching were talking a lot, and no one thought that Huang Daniu could be Nangong Yi's opponent.

"I heard that you are one of the two strongest young people in the Five Elements Sect today, and your cultivation level has broken through to the 'seventh level of Cave Void Realm'... But I don't know, do you dare to fight with me there?"

Huang Daniu ignored the comments around him. He looked at Nangong Yi seriously and pointed at the cliff on one side of the golden peak.

Hearing Huang Daniu's words, Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you understand is the 'Earth's artistic conception'?"

It was obvious that he had guessed Huang Daniu’s intention, which was simply to fight him with the help of the power of the earth using the ‘artistic conception of the earth’.

"Yes. Of course, you can refuse."
