The opennd ruling was more conducive for martial warriors to bring out their strengths and potential.


    Ten thousand warriors entered the arena; five thousand pairs were formed.


    All the pairs were sent to different locations. Each was hovering in the air, facing their assigned opponent. The battle was about to start.


    Wind blew, and yellow sand filled the sky!


    Boom!


    An earth-shattering roar was heard all of a sudden, echoing throughout the skies.


    Five thousand duels began simultaneously!


    Martial warriors rushed towards their opponents and the sky was lit up, with zing masses of light, constantly shing against one another. They were going all out, using their whole arsenal to finish the round.


    That was the most dazzling stage of the entire Great Qian Empire at the moment!


    No one would hold back!


    No one wanted to leave any regrets behind!


    Even if they were to fail, they still wanted to shine with their own light, giving everything they had.


    The duels started fast, and ended just as fast. Many took but a single second to experience real life and death battles.


    However, there were protective measures set in ce. Once a participant lost the duel, they would be teleported away to save their lives.


    Only half of the ten thousand warriors would advance after the duels!


    After all the one hundred thousand candidates fought, only fifty thousand would remain. They would randomly be reassigned for a second duel.


    Of course, there was still an opportunity for the fifty thousand disqualified. They would enter the elimination group and go through the revival stage. They could reenter thepetition if they performed well.


    A hundred thousand warriors were too many; that was the only way thepetition could proceed. Otherwise, it would take up too much time.


    Wang Teng took his seat and observed the battles. His four clones were in four different locations, and he could see all the martial warriors clearly.


    Concurrently, he was silently collecting all the attribute bubbles dropped by the martial warriors.


    He did so in between rounds.


    Aside from thepetitors, no one else could use spiritual power and intervene. They would be severely punished once discovered.


    Our hero wasn''t exempt from this, even after clinching first ce in the elimination battle.


    Honestly, there was nothing really worth paying attention to during that stage. The attribute bubbles dropped were mainly of the Force or Ultima kind; not very helpful to our hero.


    The only thing worth paying attention to was the plethora of techniques that dazzled his eyes.


    "Hahaha. Quick, look. Our Ferenas from Nars is going to advance!"


    "Oh, isn''t that Parkers'' martial warrior no. 2? I didn''t expect him to enter the battle arena. He advanced!"


    "As expected of the Parkers. I saw him win beautifully; he''s really powerful!"


    "The fighters from the Parkers weren''t weak to begin with; they were just unlucky to meet Wang Teng."


    "Hmm, do you think No. 2 will get to meet Wang Tengter?"


    "It''s hard to say. It is possible for them to run into each other."


    "Parkers'' no. 3 advanced too. Look at his arrogant expression; he''s at it again."


    "I really want to see them be abused by Wang Teng again."


    "Feng Yushan from Feng Nan was actually eliminated. His opponent was a woman, really powerful looking at that!"


    "Who''s she? What race is she from?"


    "Just found it. She''s Yue Qiqiao, a talent from the Yuanyue race. She''s from Yuanyue!"


    "Huh? More fishy (which is also pronounced like ''yue qiqiao'' in Chinese)? What kind of name is that?"


    "What Yue Qiqiao? I didn''t catch that."


    "It looks like this Yue Qiqiao is keeping a low profile. She only performed a little below average in the elimination battle; I didn''t expect her to be stronger than Feng Yushan."


    …


    Many people were attracted by the tall woman who defeated the notorious Feng Yushan, a move that earned her a spot in the public eye.


    Many participants recognized Yue Qiqiao when they saw her. No one dared to guarantee they wouldn''t run into her.


    "The Yuanyue race!" Wang Teng overheard the chatter and his eyes revealed a look of surprise.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Round Ball introduced in Wang Teng''s mind,  Yuanyue is prominent in the Great Qian Empire. The economy is extremely prosperous, and it''s rich in both culture and heritage. The Yuanyue race controls the. Their potential is great, and they produce talents who go head to head with the stars once in a while. They just keep low profiles."


    "What is their specialty?" Wang Teng asked curiously. He hadn''t been in the Great Qian Empire for too long, and wasn''t as knowledgeable as the little helper.


    "They don''t really have a special talent. It''s just that their race has an eternal stage warrior, and they have a rare bloodline, which is why their cultivation isn''t weak," Round Ball exined.


    The young hero nodded, ending the questioning. Yue Qiqiao left an impression on him; he was going to observe her performance from then on.


    Thepetition continued and another group of martial warriors entered the battle arena for their assigned fights.


    Wang Teng became more interested in the battles, as there were more talented warriors participating.


    "That fellow from the Three Eyes race isn''t too bad either; he finished off his opponent in a sh."


    "Their race has a big settlement in the Great Qian Empire. Since their numbers are considerable, it''s not surprising for some great talents to emerge."


    "That''s true. Having more people is a great thing."


    "That guy resembles a Luke; their disguise is great. Hmm, why do I feel his concealing technique is simr to Wang Teng''s?"


    "What''s wrong with that? There are all kinds of races and scriptures in the universe. Some were inspired by the Luke''s disguising talents. Wang Teng probably mastered something like that."


    "Makes sense! Wang Teng isn''t a Luke."


    "Wang Teng: …"


    "Oh my god, I discovered a rabbit."


    "A warrior from the rabbit race. I didn''t expect to see one of their kind here."


    "She''s jumping around so quickly. Her opponents can''t even catch her. What a talent."


    …


    A young girl from the rabbit race was constantly leaping around in one of the battles. She truly resembled a real pink rabbit as she jumped all over with that pink dress of hers. It was veryical.


    Running behind her was someone from the pig-human race wielding an ax. No matter how he chased her, he couldn''t catch up. He swung his ax from time to time, but not once did hend a hit.


    "You… don''t run!" The pig-human warrior was gasping for air. He felt helpless and aggrieved.


    To actually be led around by a rabbit!


    "Am I supposed to let you hit me then? I''m not stupid." The rabbit race girl rolled her eyes.


    "This is apetition. Why are you running all the time?" the otherined.


    "As long as you can''t catch me, it means I haven''t lost," said the girl.


    "But you can''t win either. I can''t catch you, but I can wear you out." The pig-human fellow''s eyes rolled in a cunning manner.


    "Come on. Let''s see who''s going to be worn out." The girl hooked a finger towards her opponent, unwilling to give in.


    The pig-human warrior: …


    Wang Teng also noticed the peculiar match between the rabbit and pig, and his expression turned weird. That was the first time seeing such aical development.


    Other eyes had been drawn to their fight. It was indeed entertaining.


    There was even more excitement on the live chat tform.


    "Hahaha, this is so funny."


    "This is hrious. Is this a race between a pig and a rabbit?"


    "Rabbits are cute. Why hit them?"


    "That pig-human fellow is too ugly. Hurry up and admit defeat. There''s no ce for you in thispetition. Go and struggle in the revival stage."


    "Pig-human warrior: I''m offended, but I shall not say a word."


    "Somehow, I feel terrible for the pig-human fellow. He''s not weak, but he''s being yed around by a rabbit."


    …


    The pig-human warrior''s fat body was drenched in sweat after chasing the girl for a long time. Pale-faced, he looked as if on the verge of copse.


    "Hehe, you lost!" The rabbit race girl appeared behind the other in a sh. A carrot-like weapon appeared in her hand, which rested on the pig-human''s neck.


    "Hahaha, you''re the one who lost." Thetter started tough. His body moved nimbly to the side and he swung his ax, shing to hit the girl''s back at a weird angle.


    The scene shocked many; the audience couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat for the rabbit girl.
