Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Master, why...!"

Seeing Lu Feng's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, Lin Xiaoyu also hesitated, looking puzzled.

After all, the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament has already eliminated about half of the contestants, making the competition extremely fierce!

Those who are able to avoid being eliminated are almost all top performers.

In other words, it will become increasingly difficult for Lu Feng to achieve three wins and advance to the next round of the single-elimination tournament!

"Alright, little fish."

Raising his hand again to interrupt the other's doubts, Lu Feng still smiled and said in a calm tone, "You know that I always keep my word. Since I have already admitted defeat, I will not continue to make a move."

After saying that, Lu Feng didn't give Lin Xiaoyu a chance to speak and immediately turned and left.

"Lu Feng, are you really going to admit defeat?"

Seeing this, Qin Xuanzhong, who was in charge of the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament, also cast a surprised glance.

After all, every match in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament is extremely important, and once a player accumulates three defeats, they will be eliminated on the spot!

Lu Feng's decision to forgo a competition opportunity naturally drew Qin Xuanzhong's surprised gaze.

"Senior Qin, I am willing to concede defeat. Please announce it."

Lu Feng also cupped his hands in return, his expression remaining calm and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome of the competition.

"The competition is over. Tiger Team, number six, Lin Xiaoyu, has won!"

Seeing Lu Feng's nonchalant expression, Qin Xuanzhong didn't ask any further questions and immediately announced the end of the match, "Next match, let's continue...!"

"Damn! This Lu Feng is such a show-off, admitting defeat so easily...!"

"Isn't this just a waste of a competition opportunity?"

"What do you know? Lin Xiaoyu from the Tai Chi Sword Sect seems to have a close relationship with this Lu Feng. Now that she's run into her sweetheart, of course Lu Feng won't make a move. It's like asking if you'd be willing to hit your wife?"

"That can't be right! I remember Lin Xiaoyu being just Lu Feng's apprentice, how did she become his wife in your eyes?"

"Heh, you're still too young. All that talk about disciples is just nonsense! What respectable person would take on a female disciple? Would you even consider it?"

Seeing Lu Feng concede defeat at lightning speed and Lin Xiaoyu win without a fight, the geniuses from various countries watching from the sidelines whispered and discussed among themselves, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

"These noisy bastards...they're asking for it!"

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Jian's face darkened, and anger welled up within him.

After all, Lin Xiaoyu held an unparalleled position in his heart, being regarded as his most precious possession, even surpassing his master Yin Xuanxing.

Therefore, upon hearing the people present discussing the ambiguous relationship between Lin Xiaoyu and Lu Feng, Gongsun Jian was naturally furious, as if he was about to explode on the spot!

"Jian'er, have you forgotten what I just said...?"

Just as Gongsun Jian was burning with anger, a deep, aged voice suddenly came from beside him, causing him to stiffen. "Uncle-Master Qin...!"

He quickly looked up and found Qin Xuanzhong staring at him with a cold expression. Gongsun Jian suppressed his anger and cupped his hands in greeting, "Jian'er has never forgotten your teachings, Uncle Qin..."

That's good.

Stroking his long beard again, Qin Xuan said meaningfully, "Jian'er, don't forget the purpose of our trip."

"As for Lin Xiaoyu, whom you've been longing for, it's not difficult at all. As long as we kill Lu Feng in a moment, she will naturally return to the Taiji Sword Sect..."

"Jian'er understands!"

Upon receiving Qin Xuanzhong's reminder, Gongsun Jian understood immediately and obediently stepped aside.

Because what the other party said is right. As long as Lu Feng is killed now, no one will be able to compete with him for Lin Xiaoyu!

...

Before we knew it, another half hour had passed.

"Round 1, Match 18, Dragon Group: Li Yunlong wins!"

"Round 1, Match 20, Tiger Group: Fa Wuxiang wins!"

"Round 1, Match 22, Tiger Group: Ren Lingyun wins. The competition continues...!"

As Qin Xuanzhong's voice echoed repeatedly on the field, the first round of the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Competition was drawing to a close, and the advancing contestants from the Dragon and Tiger groups were gradually revealed.

The Dragon Group has two members: Li Yunlong, an outsider from the Yunfu Sect, and Lin Xiaoyu, a disciple of the Taiji Sword Sect. The Tiger Group also has two advancing contestants, both with even greater reputations: Fa Wuxiang, the number one genius of the Ancient Buddha Sect, and Gongsun Jian, the senior disciple of the Taiji Sword Sect!

According to the rules of the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament, there can be a maximum of eight people who can advance to the next round of single-elimination matches, with four people in each of the Dragon and Tiger groups.

In other words, there are still four spots left to advance, and there are a total of eight contestants present, including Lu Feng, so the competition remains fierce!

"Lu Feng, there are only four spots left to advance. Even your elder brother is just one win away from advancing, while you are two wins short. Advancing to the next round won't be easy..."

At the front of the Dongyun Kingdom's team, Ren Xuanfei darted up to Lu Feng and muttered something, seemingly quite worried about his chances of advancing.

"Hehe, you little girl, do you really have so little faith in your husband?"

Faced with Ren Xuanfei's worries, Lu Feng simply grinned, then said in a playful tone, "Don't worry, it's just two wins. Your husband will take them in no time. There's no need to worry."

"You, Lu Feng! At a time like this, why are you still joking...!"

Seeing Lu Feng's nonchalant expression, Ren Xuanfei frowned slightly, then stepped forward and gave him a light punch, her tone slightly reproachful, "Do you know that almost none of the opponents we're facing are easy to deal with, especially considering what you just did for me..."

"Fei'er".

Before the former could finish speaking, Lu Feng raised his hand to interrupt him, his face hardening. "You should know that I never do anything I'm not sure I can handle..."

"Fei'er, believe me, I won't lose any of the matches from now on!"

"this...!"

Seeing Lu Feng's confident expression, Ren Xuanfei, though still doubtful, obediently nodded, "Lu Feng, I believe you...!"

It's no wonder she was so worried, because Lu Feng had just lost two matches in a row and was on the verge of elimination. If he lost one more match, he would be eliminated on the spot!

The reason for Lu Feng's repeated defeats is quite simple: he doesn't want to take action against his woman.

In the first match, Lu Feng encountered Lin Xiaoyu and chose to concede defeat. In the second match, by sheer coincidence, Lu Feng encountered Ren Xuanfei again, and unsurprisingly, he also took the initiative to concede defeat.

In other words, Lu Feng lost both matches against his own teammates, which can be considered a bit of bad luck.

However, luck is always relative.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

While Lu Feng had bad luck, Xu Linfeng from the Tai Chi Sword Sect had incredible luck. He not only received two consecutive byes, but was also only one step away from advancing to the next round, making him the luckiest person in the entire competition!

"Junior Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, getting a bye twice in a row...!"

Glancing at the strange stone tablet not far away and the lottery numbers on it, Ji Tianchang, whose injuries were just beginning to heal, couldn't help but show a hint of envy. "If nothing unexpected happens, Junior Brother Xu, you should also be able to successfully advance to the next round...!"

Although the other party was only an inner disciple, and was inferior to him, a core disciple, in both strength and status, Xu Linfeng's luck was extremely good. He was almost about to advance without even making a move!

On the other hand, Ji Tianchang himself not only encountered Fa Wuxiang, the number one genius of the Ancient Buddha Sect, right from the start, but was also beaten so badly that his inner demons relapsed. Moreover, his current record is 1-2. If he loses another match, he will be kicked out. His advancement is quite difficult!

"Senior Brother Ji, you flatter me. I was just incredibly lucky..."

Facing the envious gaze cast by Ji Tianchang, Xu Linfeng also slightly cupped his hands. Although his expression remained calm, he felt a surge of secret pleasure in his heart.

Because what the other party said was indeed true, and not only in this year's Four Nations Tournament, but his luck during this period has been incredibly good!

Xu Linfeng was originally just the second-in-command of the inner sect, and could not compete with Li Linyue, the former number one of the Lin generation in the inner sect. However, the latter was suddenly killed while he was out tracking the Wusheng Sect, and his body was never found. This gave Xu Linfeng the opportunity to rise to the top.

In addition, Xu Linfeng's luck in this Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament can be described as heaven-defying. Not only did he not encounter a single master throughout the entire tournament, but he also received two consecutive byes. He was only one win away from advancing to the next round!

This shows that the other party is indeed very lucky, and it's no wonder that Ji Tianchang, one of the core disciples, is envious!
