The resource allocation remained the same as usual: the first place received three portions, the second place two, the third place one, the fourth place half, and the remaining portions were evenly distributed among the other families.
The members of the Four Great Families nodded in agreement, with no one daring to voice any objections. As for the smaller families, Xiao Daohe had no intention of considering them; after all, their strength was too weak to compete on a grand stage.
Once everyone had agreed, Xiao Daohe's voice slowly rang out. "Since that's settled, let the drawing begin!"
Quickly, over two hundred participants gathered for this County Tournament. The Four Great Families accounted for nearly a hundred of them, while the remaining smaller families contributed just over a hundred participants. Some families could only muster two or three individuals, clearly just there to observe rather than compete seriously.
Members of the Yun Family stepped forward to draw lots. Yun Fan drew number nine for the Arena and was set to face a disciple from the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family in Dongyang County City was merely a small family, with their strongest member barely at the late stage of True Essence Realm and only two or three disciples at the Refining Body Ninth Layer.
The vast Arena was divided into ten zones, each overseen by a strong individual at the late stage of True Essence Realm acting as a judge for the matches.
As the battles began, disciples took to the high platforms one after another, engaging in fierce clashes. Many were knocked off the platforms while others advanced in rank.
Kong Chu stepped onto the platform and effortlessly defeated his opponent with a single light palm strike. The Refining Body Ninth Layer disciple stood no chance against him, prompting gasps of astonishment from the crowd, especially from the Kua Family camp, which erupted in cheers for Kong Chu.
Yun Tian ascended to the platform with a cold expression and similarly dispatched his opponent with a gentle palm strike, eliciting another round of gasps from onlookers. Young women from the Yun Family cheered loudly for Yun Tian.
Wu Yao leaped onto the platform, his aura exploding forth as he delivered a powerful punch that decisively defeated his opponent, showcasing his formidable presence. This drew loud cheers from members of the Wu Family who chanted Wu Yao's name.
Liu Ru Yan gracefully stepped onto her platform, her alluring gaze flickering slightly. The Refining Body Ninth Layer disciple opposite her breathed heavily, his eyes revealing an infatuated look as he felt parched inside. Without even attempting to fight back, he immediately ran off towards the edge of the platform.
Cheers erupted from the crowd as the young man wisely recognized his limits and quickly exited the high platform.
Yun Fan, observing this scene, displayed a hint of surprise in his eyes. Liu Ru Yan's allure was undeniable, effortlessly captivating even those at the Refining Body Ninth Layer level.
The various families' Heavenly Talents took turns showcasing their skills, much to the delight of the onlookers. The renowned Heavenly Talents, in particular, dispatched their opponents with ease, demonstrating little of their true strength.
Soon, it was Yun Fan's turn to ascend the Arena, facing off against a Heavenly Talent from the Zhao Family. The two engaged in a back-and-forth exchange, neither unleashing their full power. They traded blows for several dozen rounds until Yun Fan seized an opportunity when his opponent let their guard down, successfully knocking them off the Arena.
This left the Zhao Family talent filled with regret, feeling that Yun Fan was nothing special after all. If only he had been more vigilant, he believed he could have turned the tide and claimed victory by sending Yun Fan tumbling from the high platform.
