#1962 - Take a chance, isn't that what life is all about?

The people of the Fierce Blade Sect below the stage all had livid expressions, feeling a burning sensation as if they had been slapped in the face.

It was truly too humiliating!

They no longer had the courage to stay here.

However, they were a participating party, and still had three contestants who had not yet taken the stage.

Unless they announced their withdrawal now, leaving directly would be contempt for the Heavenly Dao's order.

In this situation, what was the point of continuing the competition?

Apart from going to their deaths or going on stage to kneel and admit defeat, making a fool of themselves, they would gain nothing else, only becoming the laughingstock of everyone after dinner.

Because of this incident, the prestige accumulated by the Fierce Blade Sect for generations had been completely ruined.

How could they still have the face to call themselves one of the major forces in the town in the future?

At this time, everyone in the arena was watching them make fools of themselves.

Whether it was the sect master, the higher-ups, or the disciples of the Fierce Blade Sect, they all felt like monkeys being watched by others.

"Lord Avatar of the Heavenly Dao, our Fierce Blade Sect withdraws and gives up the Heavenly Gift Battle event. Please, Lord Avatar of the Heavenly Dao, grant our request!"

The sect master of the Fierce Blade Sect gritted his teeth, made a decision, and took out a piece of white cloth, raising it high.

"Hahaha, did your Fierce Blade Sect come here to be funny?

The first round of the competition has only had two matches, and you're already waving the white flag.

It's really just as your disciple said when he took the stage, as long as you admit defeat fast enough, your opponent won't be able to kill you.

Tsk tsk, this is truly the most amusing thing this old man has encountered in his life."

The Fifth Master of the Seven Fort Alliance mocked.

His voice was loud enough for the entire arena to hear, immediately causing a burst of laughter.

"Fifth Master, don't go too far. Please be careful with your words!"

The Sect Master of the Fierce Blade Sect's eyes were cold, the muscles on his face twitching, so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"Before the Sect Master displays his might, why not put down the white flag first?

The way you're holding the white flag doesn't seem very threatening."

"You—"

A mouthful of old blood rushed to the Sect Master of the Fierce Blade Sect's throat, almost spitting it out.

He was so angry that his body swayed, his chest heaving violently.

In the end, he had to forcibly suppress the humiliation and anger in his heart, and repeated the words of withdrawal to the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao.

"Granted."

The voice of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao sounded, like an amnesty for the remaining three participating youths of the Fierce Blade Sect.

Their tense nerves instantly relaxed, and their mental strength was greatly depleted. Now that they relaxed, the strength in their bodies seemed to be drained, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

"The Fierce Blade Sect thanks the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao for his heavenly grace!"

The people of the Fierce Blade Sect knelt and kowtowed, then left in a dispirited manner.

They couldn't stay here for even a moment longer.

Today's disastrous defeat, the loss of two outstanding geniuses, and the complete loss of face.

In the end, they had to withdraw and kneel to thank him.

Thinking about it, it was extremely ironic.

"Hua Qi, Jun Wuxie, our Fierce Blade Sect will not let you off!"

Leaving the arena, the Sect Master of the Fierce Blade Sect gritted his teeth, hatred bursting from his eyes.

Based on that Hua Qi, how could he have such ability?

If they had that kind of weapon hidden in their bodies, they would not have been suppressed by Mang Village for generations.

Therefore, the weapon in Hua Qi's body must have come from the youth from beyond the realm, Jun Wuxie!

It's all his fault!

If it weren't for that Jun Wuxie, how could their Fierce Blade Sect have fallen to such a state!

Not only were the losses heavy, but their face was completely lost, becoming the laughingstock of everyone.

In the future, it would probably be difficult for them to establish their prestige as before, unless they moved away from this town and found a new place to develop!

"Today's events may bring about changes…"

Watching the departing figures of the Fierce Blade Sect, the higher-ups of the Overlord Sword Manor, the Zou family, and the Fu family all had solemn expressions, their hearts filled with gloom.

Throughout the entire process, they did not say a word.

Seeing the Fierce Blade Sect fall to such an end, they did not feel any joy at losing a competitor.

They naturally understood the principle of 'when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves; when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold'.

Originally, only Jun Wuxie from Apricot Blossom Village could guarantee getting points in every match.

Now, Hua Qi's performance proved that he could also do the same!

It would be much more difficult for any of their three major forces to win the championship.

"What should we do? If Apricot Blossom Village's points rise to the top, then we will definitely face them in the end…"

The higher-ups of the three major forces communicated with each other using their divine senses.

"Let's see what happens then."

They couldn't think of a good way, and didn't even have a way to deal with it.

Dong—

The bell of order rang through the heavens above.

Then, the voice of the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao sounded: "In the first round of the competition, Apricot Blossom Village defeated the Fierce Blade Sect in two consecutive matches, earning two points.

In the last three matches, due to the Fierce Blade Sect's collective withdrawal from the event, they could not be held, but the points are still awarded to Apricot Blossom Village.

In the first round of battles, Apricot Blossom Village earned a total of five points.

Next, the second round of battles will begin. The participating forces that draw the second round of battles will send their contestants to the stage."

The second round of the competition was between Overlord Sword Manor and a force similar to the Green Gang.

The contestant from Overlord Sword Manor, with his Overlord Sword, attacked and defended with great power, making it difficult for his opponent to cope, and he was shaken until he vomited blood.

In the end, Overlord Sword Manor won five consecutive matches, bringing their round of points to a full five points.

Next, it was the turn of the other forces, followed by the Zou family and the Fu family.

It must be said that whether it was Overlord Sword Manor, the Zou family, or the Fu family, their luck was good, and they did not draw each other.

This meant that in the round they took the stage to compete, they all won five consecutive matches.

The first event lasted a full day.

On the second day, their luck was still good, and they still pulled in all the points, each earning ten points.

In the end, the top eight were decided.

In addition to Apricot Blossom Village, Overlord Sword Manor, the Zou family, and the Fu family, there were four other forces.

At night, the Avatar of the Heavenly Dao allowed them to rest in place, and they were not allowed to leave the arena.

All the people who came to watch the event did not leave, and all stayed in the arena to rest.

On the morning of the third day, the top eight drew lots again.

Overlord Sword Manor, the Zou family, and the Fu family, this time their luck was not so good.

The Zou family drew to fight against the Fu family's contestants.

Overlord Sword Manor had the worst luck, drawing to fight against Apricot Blossom Village.

The other four forces were lucky, drawing each other.

The strength of their contestants was similar, with each having their own strengths and weaknesses.

In any case, all four of their forces had a chance to enter the top four and compete for the top three places.

Unlike the four major forces, they were not ambitious and wanted to get the rewards for the extreme challenge, and didn't even expect to advance to the county competition.

They only wanted to win a place in the town competition, and would be satisfied with some rewards.

Even the reward for the third place in the town competition was enough for them to have several more True God Middle Sky Realm experts!

For forces like them, with only a few True God Middle Sky Realm experts, it was undoubtedly a huge improvement!

In this round of drawing lots, the Zou family and the Fu family had ugly faces.

They knew that they were destined to miss the championship.

Unless the two families negotiated, losing five consecutive matches and giving points to the other party.

But even if they did so, successfully advancing to the top four, and then to the top three, and then to the finals, it would still be difficult to avoid facing Apricot Blossom Village.

Because Apricot Blossom Village would definitely pull in all the points in every match.

In the end, the total points would most likely be the highest for Apricot Blossom Village.

With no hope of winning the championship, they had to settle for second best.

Forget about the extreme challenge, there was no hope.

Being able to get second or third place would also be considered advancing to the county competition, and if they could get rewards in the county competition, it would be good for the family.

They comforted themselves in their hearts.

The people of Overlord Sword Manor had gloomy faces.

They were very unwilling, why was their luck so bad, it was extremely unlucky!

There were a total of eight strong, and they had seven opponents, but they happened to be selected for that one-seventh chance.

In this round against Apricot Blossom Village, they were destined to miss the top three!

Unless, when the Zou family and the Fu family fought, one side lost five consecutive matches, and the other four major forces, the best performing one, only won three matches.

In this case, the points of the losing side would be the same as theirs.

At that time, according to the rules, there would be an additional round of competition, and the two forces with the same points would compete for third place.

At this time, the other four forces were assigning contestants to take the stage to compete.

Because the strength of both sides was similar, they fought back and forth, and it looked exciting, no one could suppress anyone, and they could only find opportunities to defeat their opponents in the battle.

The Lord of Overlord Sword Manor looked towards the Zou family and the Fu family, and secretly said to them with his divine sense: "Two family heads, you can't give up.

In any case, you have to find a way to enter the final.

Although the hope is slim, you always have to fight for it, right?

Think about the rewards given for the extreme challenge.

That is a special divine fruit of the middle grade of the third grade of God, a full three of them!

If those three divine fruits can be obtained, they are enough for three people to break through the shackles of the Heavenly God!

As long as one of the three people steps into the realm of the Heavenly God and becomes the first God in ancient times, you can stand at the top of the world.

At that time, what is the great power behind Mang Village, it is not as powerful as you.

You have the final say in this world, wealth, various resources, beautiful Taoist partners, all are chosen by you!

Not to mention the key to the unknown treasure.

If you get that treasure, you may be able to produce more Heavenly Gods, and if you can't, you will definitely be able to produce several True God Absolute Sky Realm experts!

"Lord, it's not that we want to give up, but the opponent is too strong, there is no hope, it's better to be realistic."

The Zou family head and the Fu family head responded.

They all cursed secretly in their hearts.

Is this old fox treating them like fools?

At this time, he is actually using the prizes of the extreme challenge to draw cakes for them.

The prizes are tempting, but you also need the strength to get them.

"Fight it, isn't that what life is about?

Our cultivation is the same; we constantly create opportunities for ourselves and strive to become stronger.

If you miss this opportunity, I fear the two of you will regret it in the future.”

The Master of Tyrant Sword Manor was still unwilling to give up, as this was the only chance for their Tyrant Sword Manor.

“Since it's a gamble, Manor Master, you might as well try it.

In the quarter-finals, didn't you draw Apricot Blossom Village?

At that time, you can have your contestants attack with forbidden weapons, and perhaps you can even win against Apricot Blossom Village. Then, the best rewards will all be in the hands of your Tyrant Sword Manor.”

The Master of Tyrant Sword Manor was immediately choked, unable to speak, his face terribly gloomy.

Seeing his expression, the Heads of the Zou and Fu families sneered inwardly.

The old fox actually wanted to instigate them to ensure one family steadily advanced to the top two showdown.

That way, they would each have to lose five consecutive matches to be sure.

At that time, if the points for consecutive losses were the same, their Tyrant Sword Manor would have another chance for a round of matches.

For his own sake, he wanted to trick them into it.

To use such a crude trick on them was an insult to their intelligence!

The battles on the fighting stage continued.

In this round of battles, Misty Wave Island performed exceptionally well.

Although their contestants didn't have any obvious advantages, they won three consecutive matches in evenly matched contests.

The Zou and Fu families grew nervous.

If Misty Wave Island won five consecutive matches, then the total points after this round could very likely catch up with or even exceed them!

After all, in their two families' matches, neither side had a clear advantage, and neither could get full marks in this round.

In the previous two rounds, Misty Wave Island had scored five points in one round and three points in the second round.

If they won five consecutive matches in this round, they would accumulate thirteen points.

Their two families currently each have ten points.

However, they will have five matches next, and one family can only get a maximum of two points, plus the twelve points accumulated in the previous two rounds!

If one of the other two forces also reaches thirteen points.

Then, one of their Zou and Fu families won't even be able to enter the top four!

“Damn it, if we can't even get into the top four, we'll lose a lot of face, and missing the county competition will be an incredibly heavy loss!”

They cursed inwardly, their hearts starting to become agitated, while also praying that Misty Wave Island would lose the next two matches in a row.

However, reality was cruel.

The five contestants from Misty Wave Island performed exceptionally well, actually winning five consecutive matches.

Although they won with great difficulty, each person was covered in scars, and after defeating their opponent, they almost had no strength to stand, but they did it.

“Bastards!”

The Heads of the Zou and Fu families cursed in their hearts.

Next, it was Apricot Blossom Village and Tyrant Sword Manor's turn.

The Master of Tyrant Sword Manor's eyes flickered uncertainly.

After hesitating again and again, he quietly took out a pill and handed it to his strongest participating disciple, transmitting his voice: “Success or failure depends on this one move, don't disappoint this Manor Master!

With the blessing of this pill, your power will surge in a short period, and the power of the forbidden weapon will also increase tenfold or more.

I don't expect you to kill Hua Qi, but you must at least defeat him.

Apricot Blossom Village only has two people, and each person can only fight a maximum of three matches.

As long as you defeat Hua Qi, you can get two points for us, so that we can have a chance to continue the competition and enter the top four!”
