Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

At that very moment, the Dao-Breaking Spear pierced Wang Hu's body. With the blessing of the Primordial Dao, the Dao-Breaking Spear became incredibly sharp.

It broke through Wang Hu's defenses and pierced into his body.

At this moment, Wang Hu also sensed Ying Zheng's presence and wanted to turn around to draw the Broken Dao Spear from his back.

But several more gunshots came hurtling towards Wang Hu.

Wang Hu was caught in a dilemma, but he decided to pull out the Breakthrough Spear first.

But just as Wang Hu turned around, Ying Zheng had already pulled the Breaking Dao Spear out of his body and then retreated.

At that very moment, the gunshots struck Wang Hu.

Wang Hu kept retreating, and just then, Ying Zheng charged towards Wang Hu again.

"A god-slaying strike!"

Ying Zheng continuously gathered his attack power and thrust it towards Wang Hu.

Seeing this, Wang Hu quickly steadied himself and concentrated his Dao power in front of him, trying to block Ying Zheng's attack.

The spear shadow formed by the Breaking Dao Spear slammed heavily into the protective shield that Wang Hu had created, causing several cracks to appear on the shield.

Ying Zheng then brought the Broken Path Spear to the protective shield and thrust it out several times, shattering the shield into pieces.

Seeing that his protective shield had been shattered by Ying Zheng, Wang Hu decided to stop defending and threw several punches at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng moved swiftly, dodging Wang Hu's attack.

At this moment, Ying Zheng pushed his speed to its peak and launched continuous attacks on Wang Hu.

At this moment, Wang Hu could only passively defend against Ying Zheng's attacks, but he was still occasionally hit by the spear shadows that Ying Zheng had conjured.

At that moment, Ying Zheng's figure left Wang Hu's vicinity, but hundreds of spear shadows appeared around him.

Just now, Ying Zheng had figured out Wang Hu's weakness.

He has terrifying defense, but his reactions are very slow. As long as you can stall him, you can defeat him.

Seeing the hundreds of gun shadows in front of him, Wang Hu suddenly felt somewhat powerless.

He was extremely annoyed, as Ying Zheng was the only one attacking him, and he couldn't even touch Ying Zheng.

Just as Wang Hu was fending off hundreds of spear shadows, Ying Zheng thrust his Broken Path Spear at Wang Hu again.

Before Wang Hu could even shatter the shadow of his spear, Ying Zheng's attack had already arrived. Wang Hu was directly blasted back to the edge of the disc by this blow.

Wang Hu sighed deeply and said to Ying Zheng.

"Your attack was truly terrifying. I surrender. I admit I can't beat you."

Just as Ying Zheng was about to continue his attack on Wang Hu, he heard him admit defeat.

So Ying Zheng put away the Breaking Dao Spear and walked to Wang Hu's side, saying...

"Your defense is indeed terrifying, the only drawback is your slow speed. If you could increase your speed, you would be even more formidable."

After saying this, Ying Zheng handed a healing pill to Wang Hu.

Wang Hu was extremely surprised to see this. He never expected that Ying Zheng would give him his healing pill.

"What do you mean by this?" Wang Hu asked.

He still couldn't believe that Ying Zheng would be so kind.

"I think you're quite to my liking, and I'd like to be friends with you. You wouldn't refuse to give me that chance, would you?" Ying Zheng said to Wang Hu.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu nodded and put away the pills that Ying Zheng had handed him.

"Thank you very much. I'd be happy to have you as a friend. You're probably aiming for a top-three finish next, right?" Wang Hu asked.

Ying Zheng nodded, his gaze falling on the three chairs, his heart filled with longing.

"I participated in the Dragon Tiger Tournament this time with the goal of winning first place."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu was immediately filled with admiration for Ying Zheng. He himself had never considered vying for first place, because he lacked confidence in his own abilities; there were many other formidable opponents present.

“I think you can definitely reach the top. With your strength, you can be considered one of the best in this realm,” Wang Hu said to Ying Zheng.

Only those who have actually fought against Ying Zheng know just how difficult he is to deal with.

Just then, Bai Feng also arrived at the round platform.

"It seems you two get along quite well," Bai Feng said to Ying Zheng and Wang Hu.

Wang Hu smiled, scratched his head, and said, "It can be said that we became friends after a fight. Ying Zheng really showed me what it means to be outmatched and to be truly exceptional."

Bai Fengchong nodded to Wang Hu. He had originally thought that Wang Hu would be devastated after this battle, but he hadn't expected him to be so magnanimous.

“If you can think like this, your future achievements will surely be great. Relax your mind, and you will go further on your path,” Bai Feng said.

Wang Hu nodded.

"Since that's the case, the outcome is decided. Ying Zheng, you can now take Wang Hu's place, temporarily ranking second," Bai Feng announced.

Ying Zheng nodded and asked, "When can we go to the cultivation secret realm to cultivate?"

This was Ying Zheng's biggest concern at the moment. He had no shortage of resources for his cultivation, and with Xuan Luo's help, he was quite well-off.

Bai Feng thought for a moment and then whispered to Ying Zheng, "I'll tell you quietly, the day we go to the cultivation secret realm is one month after your placement matches end."

Ying Zheng also asked telepathically, "Why did you send the message to me instead of telling everyone directly?"

Bai Feng thought for a moment and replied, "I originally planned to announce this after the competition. Since you asked now, I'll tell you now."

Ying Zheng nodded.

"In that case, you two go down first. Let the person with the number three wooden plaque come up and compete," Bai Feng said to Ying Zheng and Wang Hu.

Ying Zheng and Wang Hu bowed to Bai Feng and then returned to their seats. However, their positions had now been switched; Ying Zheng was now second in rank and sat in the second-highest seat.

As soon as Ying Zheng sat down, he noticed that the flow of Dao energy within this chair was faster and purer. It was incomparable to his sixth chair. Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Nan, who sat beside him in first place. Wang Nan sensed Ying Zheng's gaze and looked back at him. When Wang Nan looked at Ying Zheng, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit; he felt that Ying Zheng was a worthy opponent.

Ying Zheng nodded when he saw Wang Nan, who was full of fighting spirit towards him. He also enjoyed sparring with strong opponents, because it allowed him to hone his skills.

Wang Nan nodded to Ying Zheng as a greeting.

Ying Zheng no longer paid attention to the battle on the round platform, and sat down cross-legged again to continue his cultivation.

Mu Bai was genuinely happy for Ying Zheng when he saw him defeat Wang Hu. When their fight first began, Mu Bai had been worried for Ying Zheng. However, after witnessing Ying Zheng's strength, Mu Bai realized his worries were unnecessary.

Mu Bai glanced at the number four on the wooden plaque in his hand and sighed. He knew his opponent was Lin Hai, the previous champion. If it were anyone else, he might have a fighting chance. But seeing that his opponent was Lin Hai, he immediately abandoned that idea—he was definitely no match for Lin Hai.

It's better to admit defeat early to avoid physical pain.

The third match was between Zhao Feng and Ma Fei, and the two fought evenly. However, in the end, Ma Fei proved to be more skilled, using some tricks to knock Zhao Feng off the platform and win the match.

Bai Feng stood on the stage and called for the person holding the number four wooden plaque to come up. At this moment, Mu Bai stood up directly and said, "I concede this round."

After speaking, Mu Bai returned to his last position. He was already pleasantly surprised to have the opportunity to obtain this cultivation secret realm; he didn't want to take any more risks.

Lin Hai was just about to go on stage when he saw Mu Bai admit defeat, so he returned to his seat.

Bai Feng nodded, then gestured for the person with the number five wooden plaque to stand on the platform. Lei Yun and Mu Ze stepped up. In this battle, Mu Ze decisively defeated Lei Yun with an overwhelming advantage.

After the five battles ended, Bai Feng returned to the arena.

"All five matches have now been completed. The winners are Wang Nan, Ying Zheng, Ma Fei, Lin Hai, and Mu Ze."

"Next, the five of you will continue with the placement matches. First, Wang Nan will face Ma Fei, then Ying Zheng will face Mu Ze, and Lin Hai will have a bye."

Ying Zheng had no objections to Bai Feng's arrangement. His goal was unwavering: to take first place.

"First, Wang Nan and Ma Fei, you two come down," Bai Feng continued.

Ying Zheng simply closed his eyes and continued cultivating, wanting to be in peak condition before the battle. This battle was undoubtedly won by Wang Nan.

"Next, Ying Zheng and Mu Ze, you two come down," Bai Feng said to Ying Zheng and Mu Ze.

Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes and walked towards the center of the circular platform. After Mu Ze came to Ying Zheng, he said to Bai Feng, "I concede defeat in this round."

Ying Zheng was surprised that Mu Ze had conceded defeat before even fighting him. After saying this, Mu Ze immediately sat down in the fifth chair—because he had conceded, he was ranked one place lower than Ma Fei. Ying Zheng helplessly shrugged and returned to his previous position.

As soon as Ying Zheng sat down, Bai Feng said to him again, "Next is the final competition between the three of you. Why did you go back again?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was speechless and had no choice but to return to the round platform. At this moment, Wang Nan and Lin Hai were also standing on the round platform.

"The three of you can discuss how to compete next. You're vying for the top three spots," Bai Feng said to Ying Zheng and the other two.

Lin Hai looked at Ying Zheng and Wang Nan and said to them, "You two fight first. Only the winner is qualified to fight me."

Wang Nan was very dissatisfied when she heard this: "What makes you say that? Don't think you're superior just because you've been number one a few times."

Lin Hai looked at Wang Nan coldly: "From what you're saying, you're not convinced? In that case, let's have a fight first."

Wang Nan retorted, "Fine, let's fight then. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing this, Bai Feng smiled and said to the three of them, "Since you've made your decision, then let's do it your way. Ying Zheng, you go and rest first, let the two of them fight first."

Ying Zheng nodded, left the platform, and returned to his seat. Only Lin Hai and Wang Nan remained on the platform.

"I don't know where you get the audacity to talk to me like that." Lin Hai looked at Wang Nan coldly.

Wang Nan snorted: "I just don't like the look of you today, so what? If you're so capable, let your abilities speak for themselves."

Lin Hai smiled upon hearing this: "Since you're so eager to fight me, I'll grant your wish. Don't blame me for being ruthless later."

No sooner had Lin Hai finished speaking than Wang Nan charged towards him. Wang Nan drew her long sword and slashed at Lin Hai.

Seeing this, Lin Hai didn't take out his own Dao weapon, but instead punched the longsword. Wang Nan immediately felt his palm go numb, and the longsword began to tremble.

At this moment, Ying Zheng wasn't cultivating; he also wanted to see just how strong Lin Hai really was. Lin Hai slammed his fist into the longsword again, sending Wang Nan staggering back more than ten steps, sword and all.

"With your pathetic skills, you think you can challenge me? Don't you even know if you have the ability?" Lin Hai said to Wang Nan, cracking his fist.

Wang Nan looked at Lin Hai, who had just defeated her, and said, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. I haven't even used my full strength yet."

After speaking, Wang Nan channeled his Dao power into the longsword. As the Dao power continued to flow in, the longsword began to emit a dazzling light. Seeing this, Lin Hai finally took it seriously—he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the longsword.

"Then let me see just how strong you really are," Lin Hai said to Wang Nan.

Lin Hai charged directly at Wang Nan with astonishing speed, leaving afterimages in his wake. In the blink of an eye, Lin Hai was in front of Wang Nan and threw a punch. Wang Nan swung his knife, striking Lin Hai's fist. Lin Hai staggered back two or three steps, surprised that Wang Nan could actually push him back.

"That's more interesting," Lin Hai said to Wang Nan, regaining his balance.

Wang Nan sneered, "Is it just interesting? The real show has only just begun."

After saying that, Wang Nan charged towards Lin Hai with his long sword. He kept swinging the sword at Lin Hai, but Lin Hai was agile and dodged several attacks. Seeing that his attacks missed, Wang Nan continued to slash at Lin Hai. Lin Hai punched the long sword repeatedly, deflecting its blade.

Lin Hai dodged the longsword and punched Wang Nan. Wang Nan was sent flying backward. As he retreated, Lin Hai caught up and continued to pummel Wang Nan with punch after punch. Wang Nan was powerless to defend himself.

Just as Wang Nan was about to retreat to the edge of the platform, he suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding Lin Hai's pursuit. Wang Nan stopped, swallowed a pill, and charged towards Lin Hai again.

"If this is all the strength you have, I'm afraid you're no match for me," Lin Hai said, looking at Wang Nan charging towards him.

Wang Nan ignored Lin Hai and continued to swing her knife, sending countless blade shadows hurtling towards him. Lin Hai shattered the blade shadows with several punches, but Wang Nan had vanished without a trace.

"Thunderous Crescent Slash!"

With a roar from Wang Nan, a blade of energy crackling with lightning slashed towards Lin Hai. Lin Hai's expression turned serious upon seeing this attack. He finally drew his Dao artifact—a three-foot-long black staff.

Lin Hai channeled his Dao power into his long staff and slashed at the blade energy. The staff collided with the blade energy, and Dao power immediately surged in all directions. However, the blade energy did not dissipate quickly, and Lin Hai struck it several more times before he could barely shatter it.

"Since that's the case, you should also experience my attack," Lin Hai said to Wang Nan after shattering the sword energy.

At this moment, the long staff in Lin Hai's hand became enormous, and Lin Hai appeared extremely small in front of this enlarged staff.

"A flurry of sticks flying through the wind!" (End of Chapter)
