The young man who was Xiao Wang's opponent wiped the blood flowing at the corner of his lips with his hand.
He stood up while speaking.
"Junior Xiao, I won't hold back anymore."
"alright. In that case, I will also try my best to fight senior."
The young man stood up, he took a precarious position, then darted quickly slashing at Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang himself dodged the attack by jumping to the side, so the young man's attack only hit the wind.
Xiao Wang also did not remain silent, he darted as he waved his sword at the young man.
The real fight has just begun.
Both of them played the sword very cleverly and quickly. Every attack that is carried out is deadly.
They slashed and fended off each other, hit and held, and kicked and retaliated.
Until both of them launch a tonjokan on the chest of the opponent, making both of them bounce back.
The young man created seven thin wind blades before he finally aimed the wind blades at Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang greeted the wind blades by throwing seven water arrows.
The sound of a barrage of explosions rang out as the water arrows collided with the wind blades.
Smoke filled the air, making the gazes of the spectators whose cultivation was below the Earth stage unable to see what was happening in the arena. Only flashes of blue and white light clashed against each other that they could see.
Moments later, the puff of smoke disappeared and revealed the figure of Xiao Wang and his opponent both kneeling.
It could be seen that the condition of Xiao Wang's opponent could not be said to be good. From his arm and calf there were deep scratches, besides there were also some wounds on his body. The white suit he wore, now changed color to red.
Likewise, Xiao Wang also experienced several incisions in several parts of his body. But it was not too severe compared to the injuries his opponent received.
The young man tried to stand up, by making his sword a support. Slowly but surely, with limping footsteps, he walked up to Xiao Wang.
After the distance of the two adrift 3 meters, he said. "Junior Xiao, you're really great. Especially at your age of just 7 years old you have reached the intermediate stage of level 3.
Not only that, you were even able to cripple a tier 4 Intermediate stage cultivator. A true genius." He paused his sentence for a moment to catch his breath and then continued.
"Junior Xiao, I hope you can get through the next round and reach the final. Because I'm sure, next year you'll be stronger. And I am very confident, in the Talented Youth Tournament next year you can become a finalist and make our sect famous. Even our Sect has a chance to become a great Sect because of you."
Then he spoke loudly. "I'M GIVING UP!"
"Thank you senior, for giving up on junior. I promise I will try hard to enter the final" Xiao Wang said
They also saluted each other. Then the two walked away from the arena, leaving a question mark on every mind of the spectators who did not see the incident in the smoke.
Even so, they still cheered over Xiao Wang's victory. According to them, this kind of match is what they are waiting for.
Time passed by so quickly, the first and second rounds were completed. Now tells 10 people who will compete in the third round.
Of the 10 participants, 5 of them were at the Intermediate level 4, 2 participants at the Intermediate level 5 and 3 participants who were at the Intermediate level 3 one of them was Xiao Wang.
The top 10 participants were given 20 minutes to rest and recover.
So that he is not too tired and ready to follow the next round.
20 Minutes have passed. Du Yan stepped on top of the arena, Lalau said.
"All right. It does not feel like time has passed so quickly, until we have reached the third round or quarter-finals, the end of our event today. The rules are still the same as the previous rounds. Where, the opponent will be declared defeated if they say the word surrender, get out of the arena, and faint." Du Yan took a breath before he resumed his sentence.
"In this third round, we will look for participants who qualify for the top 5 who will compete tomorrow. To shorten the time, let's just start this third round."
Sorai's cheers from the audience bench were heard again. They are already looking forward to seeing who will qualify for the top 5. Not a few also fondle the participants who will qualify for the semifinals tomorrow.
"Xiao Wang and Mei Ling, please enter the arena," Du Yan summoned the first participant on the third round.
Hearing his name being mentioned, Xiao Wang also moved from his seat towards the arena. Likewise with the girl who became his opponent.
After the two of them were in their respective positions, Du Yan re-explained the rules and then allowed them to compete.
Both are silent in place. No one dared to start the match. Xiao Wang himself was preparing tricks for him to use later.
Because the girl against Xiao Wang did not go forward, he finally decided to first attack.
Xiao Wang slashed the opponent vertically forming a cross mark, but could be fielded using a whip by Mei Lin.
Not stopping there, Xiao Wang leaned over and twisted his body, slashing at Mei Lin's stomach.
Mei Lin still easily avoided the attack.
Xiao Wang still did not give up, he then sped up the pace of his attack hoping that his opponent would have trouble avoiding him.
And sure enough, Mei Lin was almost overwhelmed dodging every attack that Xiao Wang had launched. Because he is not very good at close combat.
For a while, he took some distance to catch his breath. After which he turned around to attack Xiao Wang. Mei Lin channeled Qi energy at her whip, then directed it towards Xiao Wang.
The short whip turned long and crept towards Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang himself dodged the attack by performing a sideways salto. The next attack followed him, trying to avoid the attack again.
The longer, the tempo of Mei Lin's attack grew faster. Xiao Wang was to the point of being overwhelmed avoiding any whips that came towards him from various directions.
Occasionally he would fend off the whip. However, due to the faster tempo of the attack, it feels like fending off is not a good thing. Because the faster the movement of an object, the stronger it will be.
Until finally, he was made to bounce when trying to fend off the attack with his sword.
Not stopping there, Mei Lin's whip hit him again from the opposite direction. Xiao Wang again bounced back.
His head was dazed for a moment. When he woke up he felt the whip coming back about to hit him. He also created a water shield throughout his body.
However, the blow of the whip was too strong, so the shield was instantly shattered. At that moment, the whip again hit him hard.
Several times he would float then back at the whip blow Mei Lin.
The girls and women on the bleachers who saw it instantly shouted hysterically.
Not a few also condemned Mei Lin's actions. In addition, there are even those who cry, not able to see their lover get torment.
Mei Lin paid no heed to the words of the women who cursed her, she still launched her whip, even speeding up her whip.
