The second round was about to start soon and for this preliminary round, two groups were created, namely, the Loser's roll and the Winner's roll.

In the Loser's roll, it was made up from the previous ten contestants that had lost during the first round. On the other hand, the Winner's roll were the ten contestants that had won against those in the current Loser's roll.

In the battle between the ten contestants of the Loser's roll, Sui Shunyuan, Ti Bao, Dong Jinghai and Yun Bo managed to swiftly overwhelm their opponents. There was also supposed to be a fifth winner, but in that battle, both of the contestants fell down together, resulting in a draw. Unfortunately, Shen Lu didn't want to drag out the next matches, thus he declared them both as defeated without any winners.

Next, in the Winner's roll, Wei Shang, Xu Rong, Wei Wang, Fei Longwei and Wu Jin each won their respective battle. Their match was more intense to watch than those from the Loser's roll, especially the battle between Xu Rong and her opponent. In fact, she almost burned the whole platform into a big, pile of lava!

Had it not been for her opponent that decided to surrendered, perhaps she would have just really unleashed her all, just so that she could prove that her abilities were truly top-notch!

This was in contrast to Fei Longwei and Wu Jin though. Their battles were quick and anti-climatic. With Fei Longwei, he intended to just use the 'Darkness Whirl' from the get-go to ram at his opponent. But who could have guessed that Alchemist, Guo He, would immediately surrendered just after Shen Lu told them to start the battle?

Meanwhile, Wu Jin was a senior student against a sophomore, which was also another Alchemist called Teoh Cheng. It was obvious that he would won with just a single fist towards the latter. After all, in terms of battle prowess alone, he, a 4 Star rank Warrior class would never be defeated by a mere Alchemist.

Thus, the second round ended with 9 total winners and the third round was beginning soon.

This time, the third round was an elimination battle with one lucky slot given to the losers of the Second round. The one that managed to win this lucky slot was Guo He the Alchemist. Thus, he won by default to enter the third round.

The battles during this third round could be described as the most intense of all.

This was especially the case between Fei Longwei and Sui Shunyuan, they were dubbed as the 'Two dark horses' by the audience. Both were wary of each other but the advantage was held by Fei Longwei before he eventually won.

To Sui Shunyuan's surprises, his Puppeteer and Posssesion arts does not seem to work that well on Fei Longwei's Dark arts for some reason. Whenever he would try to possess Fei Longwei's Dark arts, he would find a peculiar mysterious force trying to infect his Qi even when he had kept the distance between them all the time.

Similarly, to Fei Longwei, Sui Shunyuan's skill arts were very strange as well. It was able to affect his Dark arts to some extent which he had never experienced before. There was even one time where he had to wrestle away control for his Dark arts from the other party!

When that happened, Sui Shunyuan sighed and then quickly surrendered as he lost interest to continue the battle any further.

Next, the battle between Xu Rong and Wei Shang was a little bit one-sided. Even though Wei Shang had the capability to hid his presence entirely using his 'Mysterious arts: Concealing Life', Xu Rong just had to blaze away the entire platform with a heatwave attack!

At first, the heatwave attack does not seem to bother him at all. But overtime, because the platform was enclosed with the runic formations, the heat started to accumulate and he found himself to quickly became dehydrated. In the end, he also had to surrendered.

After that, Wei Wang and Guo He fought. Deciding to try his very best in this round, the latter popped up pills upon pills into his mouth like a maniac! His battle prowess soon increased by at least two folds, but because Wei Wang's cultivation was higher than his, it didn't take too long for the latter to be defeated.

The next two battles ended in a draw, thus, all the contestants were eliminated. Yun Bo and Ti Bao fought to the very limits of their capabilities and fell at the same time. Meanwhile, the battle between the two seniors, Dong Jinghai and Wu Jin whom ironically matched with each other once more, didn't happen as they both immediately surrendered.

Since they had already fought against one another beforehand during the first round, and there was no clear winner before them, what would be the point if they were to fight once more?

Besides, it was not as if they would have better chances of getting selected by Duan Li even if they won. Thus, in such circumstances, it was better to just sit back along with the audiences to watch the next ensuing battles.

...

Thereafter, came the semi-final round. In this round, there were only 3 contestants left - Fei Longwei, Xu Rong and Wei Wang.

The rules were quite simple this time around, for the person that got beaten two times will automatically lose.

The final results of this semi-final wasn't surprising though as people could predict that it would be Wei Wang who would lose. This was because Fei Longwei was everyone's favorite to win both matches, while Xu Rong would lose against Fei Longwei but not to Wei Wang. After all, even the older brother, Wei Shang had to admit defeat and surrendered to her, thus employing the same tactic, Wei Wang was quickly defeated!

As for the final round, the crowds were thrilled beyond anything else and crazily placed their bets onto Fei Longwei. Some who believed in miracles though, betted onto Xu Rong to become the champion instead!

The final round is finally here!

But, it was at this moment that Duan Li suddenly stood up and walked towards the platform, where the two contestants was about to fight.

Right now, everyone was confused as to what was Duan Li planning to do so suddenly.

...

Yup this chap was a little bit shorter than usual, cu I had to fast forward the battle and cut a few hundred words to make it relevant lol. Btw sorry for the late update, Webnovel's timer failed me again. hais.
