Eternal Sovereign

"Aren't the standards of this batch's Guangping County a bit too high?"    

"It's too tragic for the Land of Axe."    

On the seats at the east and west sides, many Genuine Returning Stage practitioners were shocked at this result.    

It was true that Grand Dominance County had a deep foundation, and it was also true that it had always been at the bottom.    

However, he had never been as miserable as he was now. There was still one person who had managed to enter the top 16 in the end.    

In the end, this time, the strongest warrior of the Acropolis County, An Yuquan, was defeated by the weakest man of the Quanping County, Wu Kuo. The four of them were completely annihilated. This was too miserable.    

Inside the hall of the tower, the commander of the Red Dragon Guard, Fu Hong County, covered his face.    

The Grand Dominance County's Commander Hua was beaming with happiness and was smiling merrily.    

On the two sides of the southern entrance, many Red Dragon Guard s were also surprised by this result, and immediately afterwards, their expressions became serious.    

After all, if one wanted to go from sixteen to eight, they had to go from eight to four. They had to fight against the people of Guangping County.    

"So powerful!" Chen Junzong's expression was extremely solemn. Even though he already knew that Guangping County had a deep foundation and powerful strength, seeing it with his own eyes still made Chen Junzong's heart heavy.    

Chen Junzong didn't know that Chen Yi's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds and had long surpassed him. In Chen Junzong's opinion, Chen Yi's strength should be around the same as a month ago.    

How much progress could he make in just a month?    

It was true that Chen Yi was a monster, he might be able to break through to the Innate Realm, and by the age of sixty, he would be able to step into the Perfection, Perfection, or even the Half-step Yuan Combination Stage realm.    

When Chen Junzong was young, he was also a top Heavenly Pride. He hadn't been able to improve much in a month, so how could Chen Yi's power soar dramatically?    

This was not the Acquired Stage Realm, but the Innate Realm!    

Raising the strength of a Xiantian cultivator was definitely not an easy feat.    

So in Chen Junzong's heart, he was still the strongest out of the four of them. He represented Yunlan County, and was also the leader of the four of them.    

Therefore, Chen Junzong was under a lot of pressure when faced with the domineering attitude of Guangping County.    

"Let's go, it's time for us to go on stage." Chen Junzong took a deep breath and said to Chen Yi, Mao Boya and the Thunder Soldier beside him.    

On the other side, the four people of Dazzling Spring County also stood up.    

In the next moment, the eight of them jumped onto the stone platform. Each of them released their majestic auras in an attempt to suppress the other.    

As for the four people of Guangping County, they had long left the stone stage after Wu Kuo's fight ended. The three people of Fuji County also helped An Yuquan return to his resting position. All four of them had dispirited looks on their faces.    

Gu Yiyu's eyebrows twitched as he asked the Saint Lord Dong'er: "Of the four people from Yunlan County, I think it's only someone called Chen Junzong, but if we run into Yao Hong Sheng or Fan Jian De, it's hard to say. As for Tao Jianhe, he is definitely not Chen Junzong's match, and the final person is most likely not Chen Junzong.    

"Do you think that the entire Yunlan County will be annihilated?"    

Dong Sacred Jun shrugged his shoulders, "We are not sure if the entire army will be annihilated, but it is definitely not a threat to us. However, I hope that our Yunlan County will be stronger and at least one person will be able to enter the top sixteen. Only then will we be able to choose our opponents for the second round."    

Hearing this, Gu Yiyu slightly nodded his head: "That's true."    

The rules for the first round of battles had already been set out, but the rules for the second round were different from the first.    

The four victorious teams would take turns to choose their opponents for the second round.    

For example, Guangping County's VS, Axe Hong County would be the victor. Then, in the first battle of the second round, there would be a person from Guangping County who would fight and pick his opponent.    

If Xuan Ming Prefecture won, then the person from Xuan Ming Prefecture would have to choose their opponent.    

And so on.    

After the fourth battle, the fifth battle started and Guangping County once again sent out another batch of participants.    

The defeated teams didn't have the qualifications to choose, they could only be selected.    

Therefore, the more people remained in the defeated teams, the more favorable it would be for Guangping County.    

Therefore, in the second round, the first match of Guangping County would definitely not be between Dong Shengjun and Gu Yiyu, but Wu Kuohe's last opponent.    

If the four defeated teams had more than four people left, then the first and fifth matches of the second round in Guangping County would allow Wu Kuo and a fourth person to pick the weaker ones.    

In other words, if they were lucky, it was very likely that all four of them would enter the top eight.    

However, luck was the prerequisite.    

Gu Yiyu sighed and said, "With the complete annihilation of the Axe Hong County, only one person would be lucky enough to make it into the next round of Yunlan County. Bianchong County wouldn't be much better off, and I can only count on Wyvern County and Luopeng County."    

In the last year's Flying Dragon County, he was ranked fourth, while Luo Peng was ranked fifth. The two forces were almost the same. It was very likely that two people from both sides would be able to make it to the next round.    

But even so, only four people from the defeated team entered the top sixteen. After four rounds, there was no one left.    

It was very likely that one of the four people in Guangping County would have to face a strong opponent in Dazzling County, Anyun County, Wyvern County, or Luopeng County. Thus, there was a high chance that they would lose.    

"There's no need to think too much into it. With the two of us, our Grand Dominance County will definitely take first place." Dong Sacred Jun said lightly.    

Gu Yiyu slightly smiled: "True, in the end, it still depends on the two of us."    

If the two of them were to enter the top four, then Guangping County's overall ranking would definitely be first.    

In the audience seats on both sides, many of the Genuine Returning Stage s were shining brightly. The previous match between Grand Dominance County and Axe Hongjun did not have much to do with them, but now Chen Junzong and the other three, who were going on stage, were representing Yunlan County, so it was closely related to them.    

If their results were good, they would also be honored.    

If their results weren't good, then they wouldn't be able to show any respect.    

On the stone platform, the auras of both sides were still clashing. Most likely, this was the home of the Yunlan County, so Lei Shi Bing, Mao Bo Ya, and Chen Junzong did not want to lose face here, so their fighting spirits were extremely high.    

On the Dazzling County's side, the man named Fan Jiande widened his eyes and immediately exclaimed: "It truly is the home ground advantage. If it was in the past, the Yunlan County would not have such high fighting spirit."    

If the battle between Grand Dominance County and Axe Hongjun was in the Godly Axe County, then the four people who had the advantage in the home ground would be the four people of the Godly Axe County. Perhaps, the result wouldn't be that bad.    

At the very least, An Yuquan had a very high chance of entering the top 16.    

One had to know that in a certain kind of willpower, it was very likely that a person would explode.    

Yao Hong Sheng was one of the few women who possessed a Red Dragon Guard. Dressed in a red battle robe, she looked heroic and valiant as she said to the other three: "This is the home of the Yunlan County.    

"The first battle, let me do it. Let me show you my Dazzling Spring County's momentum!"    

Finishing, Yao Hongsheng took a step forward and said lightly: "I am Yao Hongsheng, please enlighten me."    

Chen Yi and the other three looked at each other. Having read the information, they naturally knew how difficult Yao Hongsheng was. Even if he couldn't compare to the Great Pingping County's Saint Lord Dong, he was at least not weaker than Gu Yiyu.    

The Thunder Soldier took a deep breath. "This time, let me do it."    

The Thunder Stone Soldier knew that he was the weakest among the four of them. Only by using the weakest among them to defeat the strongest would Chen Junzong be able to safely enter the top 16.    

That's right, after seeing Guangping County's performance, the Thunder Soldier felt that Chen Junzong was the only one who had a chance at leveling up. The others, including himself, didn't have much hope.    

Although Chen Yi was a monster, he was too young.    

Yao Hongsheng and the Thunder Soldier were more than ten meters apart. Fan Jiande and the other two backed off, leaving enough space for the two to fight.    

In the next moment, the two terrifying sword forces were like two storms as they clashed. Terrifying sword Qi swept out like a tornado.    

The two of them exchanged blows in the blink of an eye. Each of them was wielding a divine weapon as they performed their respective secret sword techniques.    

Yao Hong Sheng was very strong, but compared to the strength of the Thunder Stone Soldier, it was still ranked second in the entire Axe Hong County and could not be considered weak. Even with Yao Hong Sheng not wanting to reveal his bloodline and sacred art, it took a lot of effort for him to get his hands on the Thunder Stone Soldier.    

"I've lost." The Thunder Stone Soldier held onto its wrist, blood flowing out from the gaps of its fingers. The divine weapon in its hand fell to the ground.    

The Thunder Stone Weapon was a little disappointed. He was indeed inferior to Yao Hong Sheng, he did not even manage to force out Yao Hong Sheng's bloodline and sacred art.    

Fortunately, the Thunder Soldier had expected such an outcome. It staggered back into the group.    

The first match was Dazzling County's first match, so naturally, it was the Yunlan County's turn for the second match.    

Mao Bo Ya looked at Chen Yi. Based on his performance during the internal selection, his overall strength was still slightly stronger than Chen Yi's. He hoped that Chen Yi would fight in the second round.    

Perhaps, it was Fan Jiande who would make the move. In this way, it wasn't impossible for him to compete with the remaining two people in the Xuan Ming County.    

If he was lucky, he might even be able to fight against Tao Jianhe, who was the weakest in Dazzling County.    

Chen Yi understood Mao Boya's expression and nodded indifferently. During this month, his strength had increased tremendously. Only Yao Hong Sheng was worthy of him going all out, so he could forget about the others.    

As for the remaining three, regardless of who it was, he was confident that he would win.    

"I am Chen Yi. Please advise me." Chen Yi cupped his hands towards the other side.    

Tao Jianhe's eyes immediately lit up. They had discussed it last night and decided to let him deal with this person called Chen Yi.    

If Chen Yi didn't go on stage, he wouldn't go on stage either. When it was only the two of them left, it could only be the two of them fighting.    

If Chen Yi took the initiative to go up on stage, then let him do it.    

Tao Jianhe chuckled and strode out. "Little fellow, let me be your opponent."
