In the preliminary round, lots will be drawn first, and then there will be a one-on-one competition.
Since they have signed a life-and-death certificate, they are likely to die if there is a disparity in strength, so contestants are allowed to abstain and surrender.
Mr. Meng stood up from the main seat and announced the result: "The first game, Xi Duo of the Marquis of Chang'an versus Chen Jiahang of the Minister of Hubu!"
Xi Duo jumped onto the competition stage with a swish, hooked his index fingers towards Chen Jiahang below the stage, and held a pair of scimitars, the blades of which exuded a faint yellow light.
Chen Jiahang didn't expect that he was so unlucky. He was just in the early stage of martial arts, but in the first round he faced a peak martial artist with yellow-level internal strength. Who didn't know that Little Marquis Duo was naturally aggressive and was very powerful among his peers. He would definitely die if he went up to it.
!
He trembled and wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that he was unlucky: "I...I surrender..."
As if they had anticipated the outcome, the crowd acted very calmly.
"The daughter of the Prime Minister's wife is now the queen of the dynasty, and there is such a young hero in her mother's family. We are really envious of her!"
"Where is it?" Xi Qiudi was naturally happy because his nephew had a long face. He looked at his brother Xi Dongyan, the Marquis of Chang'an, and both enjoyed the compliments proudly.
Xi Duo walked off the stage with eight steps, and he didn't want to spread his hands arrogantly toward Bai Ye, his sarcasm was palpable.
Mr. Meng shook his head and stood up, stroking his white beard, hoping in his heart that these young people would not be such greedy and fearful people.
"Xi Duo wins! In the second game, Xiang Qingtian, the Duke of Fuguo, battles Rongjia, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard!"
Rong Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the yellow-haired girl and not Bai Ye.
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, that Xiang Qingtian was actually the cute little girl just now!
She and Rong Jia both use long swords, are both at the peak of warriors, and have orange-level internal strength. However, with Rong Jia's vicious temperament, this little girl may suffer!
Xiang Qingtian pursed her lips seriously, and finally decided to compete on stage despite her father's objections. When she walked next to Bai Ye, she stretched out her hand to hold him.
She gave Xiang Qingtian a violent pill and said, "Eat this."
As the daughter of Duke Fu, she naturally knew what this elixir was, and her expression suddenly became clear.
She secretly stuffed the elixir into her mouth when no one was paying attention, and said gratefully: "Sister, thank you."
Bai Ye touched the little cute girl's head. He didn't know why, but he pulled her back by accident. Subconsciously, he didn't want to see this little cutie get hurt.
"Smash that woman!"
"Yes!" She nodded vigorously: "I will work hard!"
What I didn't expect was that as soon as Xiang Qingtian came on stage, he drew his sword and activated his internal energy. Without any unnecessary nonsense, he directly attacked Rong Jia!
The Burst Pill came into play. Although she only had a common orange-level internal power, her attack speed was quite fast, forcing Rong Jia to retreat in succession. She only focused on defense and had no chance to make any moves. In the end, she started slashing without any plan.
Xiang Qingtian shouted softly, and took the right opportunity to attack Rong Jia's right hand holding the sword, making a long gash on the back of her hand. Blood gurgled out, and the pain made Rong Jia's fingers soften, and the weapon was snatched away.
Gone!
Throwing away the useless sword, Xiang Qingtian took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He combined his internal strength with a roundhouse kick and kicked his opponent out of the competition stage!
Rong Jia lay there motionless, and was finally carried out by servants.
Meng Lao's eyes were sparkling. It was not that he didn't notice Bai Ye's little moves. Xiang Qingtian's change must have been because of her. As long as he didn't make anything unusual, he could just pretend he didn't see it.
"Victory to Qingtian!"
"Yeah, yeah! Sister, I won!" The little cute girl jumped excitedly several times on the stage.
Bai Ye was amused by her and mouthed slowly: "Well done."
On a century-old tree not far away, a man in black took in everything that had just happened. With a hint of smile in his deep pupils, his eyes kept falling on the woman in white...
