With the sound of drums echoing in the Dueling Arena, the Outer Sect Grand Competition officially began. According to the previously designated areas, the Outer Sect Disciples whose names were called had to step up to participate in the matches.
The Dueling Arena was divided into fifty zones, each with nearly two hundred Outer Sect Disciples waiting to take the stage.
In the Twenty-Third Arena of Blue Shadow, the first two disciples called were a male disciple wielding a sword and a female disciple holding a fan. The two Outer Sect Disciples exuded confidence and quickly engaged in an intense battle, drawing cheers from the observing disciples.
Ye Feng noticed that these two disciples were evenly matched, and it seemed unlikely that a victor would emerge anytime soon. Moreover, their Martial Techniques appeared rather clumsy; if he were to compete without using Vital Energy, he could easily defeat them with a single move.
Both disciples had cultivation levels equivalent to the Eighth Level of Strength Realm. However, the sword techniques of the male disciple seemed slightly more refined than those of the female disciple with the fan, gradually gaining the upper hand against her.
"Brother Ye, that male disciple with the sword is named Zhang Xiaonan. I've seen him once before; he just turned seventeen this year. I didn't expect his cultivation to have reached the Eighth Level of Strength Realm already. The female disciple has also worked with me on missions before; I think her name is Lan Xin. The golden ring fan she wields is made from special materials that are resistant to blades and swords. However, it seems her Martial Technique is different from what I remember; perhaps she has just recently mastered it. Brother Ye, who do you think has a better chance of winning between Zhang Xiaonan and Lan Xin?" Blue Shadow said excitedly as she gazed at the two on stage.
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback. He had only glanced at the two on stage and lost interest, focusing instead on three Origin Martial Realm disciples hidden in the crowd. Hearing Blue Shadow's question, he took another look at the duel and replied with certainty.
"If my estimation is correct, it should be that female disciple with the fan."
Ye Feng's tone still sounded somewhat modest, but Blue Shadow shook her head and said, "Brother Ye, in terms of cultivation strength, I'm not even close to your level. But when it comes to watching battles, I am known as a little fortune teller!"
"Oh?" Ye Feng smiled at this and replied dismissively, "Then what does this little fortune teller think about who will win?"
"Definitely Zhang Xiaonan! His Blazing Fire Blade Technique is a Yellow-Grade Intermediate Combat Technique, and judging by how skillfully he executes it, he must have already reached a minor success in his training. As for Lan Xin's fan technique, I've never seen it before and can't determine its grade; it probably isn't too bad either. However, she clearly has only recently learned this Martial Technique and still struggles with its application!"
Blue Shadow was not boasting; she loved watching fights more than anything else. In Dragon Tiger Sect's Outer Sect, when disputes arose among disciples, they often chose to resolve them through battles at the Outer Sect Training Ground.
Of course, such agreed-upon duels were permitted within Dragon Tiger Sect's Outer Sect. However, to ensure the safety of participating disciples, Dragon Tiger Sect required that every duel be registered at the Martial Arts Arena and overseen by designated personnel responsible for determining the outcome.
To encourage competition among disciples, all participants in duels would receive corresponding Contribution Points regardless of victory or defeat; however, winners would earn double the Contribution Points compared to losers.
It was precisely because of this rule that many disciples opted to settle disputes in the Dueling Arena. Blue Shadow often dragged Zhang Yihang along to watch matches at the Training Ground during her free time, so her judgment was quite sharp.
As they continued their discussion, a change finally occurred in the tense match on stage.
A horizontal slash from Zhang Xiaonan's Blazing Combat Technique was powerful and forceful, even creating a blurred flash of fire as it aimed for Lan Xin's waist.
Blue Shadow let out a gasp, fearfully covering her eyes, only daring to peek through the gaps between her fingers to observe the situation on the field.
Just when everyone thought Lan Xin would choose to surrender in time, she suddenly unfurled the folding fan in her hand, launching three coldly gleaming darts straight at Zhang Xiaonan's face. At the same time, she pushed off the ground and leaped up, narrowly avoiding the horizontal slash.
Zhang Xiaonan's technique was outdated, and seeing that he couldn't evade the incoming darts in time, he could only shout for surrender. However, Supervisor Elder reacted quickly, casually flicking his hand to knock away the darts aimed at Zhang Xiaonan.
Everyone was initially stunned, but soon erupted into enthusiastic applause for this thrilling duel.
Blue Shadow stared with wide eyes, wrinkling her nose as she reluctantly said, "Zhang Xiaonan was too hasty; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Lan Xin seize the opportunity."
Ye Feng shook his head, not refuting Blue Shadow.
He had already noticed that Zhang Xiaonan was not overly anxious; rather, his prolonged use of the powerful Blazing Combat Technique had drained his energy significantly. If this continued, he would ultimately be the one to lose.
In contrast, Lan Xin appeared to be in a perilous situation but was very confident in her Martial Technique. She consistently managed to dodge her opponent's attacks at critical moments while delivering appropriate counterattacks, resulting in minimal energy expenditure that allowed her to last longer.
After the conclusion of Twenty-Three Arena, two more disciples were quickly called to the stage for their identities to be verified before starting the second round of duels.
While accompanying Blue Shadow to watch the matches, Ye Feng also kept an eye on other dueling platforms through his spiritual perception.
Especially at First Arena, where he was about to compete. Compared to other platforms, First Arena gathered nearly all the elite Outer Sect Disciples, making the duels more intense and even attracting disciples from nearby arenas to come and watch.
As the matches progressed fervently, Ye Feng's expression grew increasingly serious. In contrast, Blue Shadow was completely captivated by the exciting battles on stage, clapping and cheering while occasionally lowering her head in disappointment.
Due to her beautiful and charming appearance and outgoing personality, Blue Shadow was quite popular among Outer Sect Disciples and had many friends. Therefore, whenever a friend took the stage, she would cheer them on more vigorously than anyone else.
The three Origin Martial Realm warriors that Ye Feng had been paying attention to had yet to take the stage. Each area had nearly two hundred Outer Sect Disciples; it would take at least another hundred matches to cycle through everyone.
At that moment, Ye Feng suddenly furrowed his brow and looked towards the direction of Dueling Arena One.
"Blue Shadow, it's my turn to take the stage! I'll be back soon!" After Ye Feng said this, he vanished from his spot before Blue Shadow could react.
"Ah, Brother Ye is going on stage! How about I cheer for you?" Blue Shadow turned back with excitement, but Ye Feng was already gone.
"Twenty-Third Arena, Round Thirteen of the competition, Blue Shadow, Li Chengce, please come to the stage!" Almost at the moment Ye Feng stepped onto the First Arena, the Supervisor Elder at the Seventeenth Arena calmly announced the next two competitors.
"Wow, it's my turn so soon? I haven't had enough time to watch!" Blue Shadow pouted and leaped onto the Training Ground like a fluttering butterfly.
"Blue Shadow, go for it!"
"Cheer up, Blue Shadow!"
As soon as Blue Shadow took the stage, the audience erupted in cheers. Many of her friends shouted encouragement, their voices shaking the entire Dueling Arena.
Other disciples in different Dueling Arenas, who were not currently competing, were also drawn over. Ye Feng felt a tightness in his chest as he looked towards the Twenty-Third Arena.
"It really is that person!" Ye Feng's expression darkened. Blue Shadow's opponent was none other than one of the three Origin Martial Realm Outer Sect Disciples he had noticed before.
This disciple had already reached the Origin Martial Realm, yet was placed on such a low-ranking arena as number twenty-three. He must have been very low-key and unknown to others. Coupled with the interference from the Li Family, it was no surprise that he was matched against Blue Shadow.
"If you want to save her, you'll have to defeat me first!" The disciple facing Ye Feng, known as Li Zhen, was quite formidable himself, having reached the fourth level of the Origin Martial Realm.
"Even if your cultivation is higher, being able to kill Li Fengyun, the Young Master, likely means you're only at mid-level in the Origin Martial Realm, at most one level above me. It won't be so easy for you to finish this quickly. As for your friend, Blue Shadow, you don't need to worry; our family’s Li Chengce will take good care of her!"
When he said "take care," Li Zhen wore a wicked smile, his tone becoming much heavier!
Ye Feng silently acknowledged the meticulous planning of the Li Family.
They must have anticipated that he would recognize their hidden expert among the Outer Sect Disciples. So they arranged for both Blue Shadow and Zhang Yihang to appear simultaneously while ensuring that he also participated in the competition. They used a capable disciple from their family to restrain him, preventing him from coming to their aid.
"I'll finish you off quickly!" Ye Feng shot a cold glance at Li Zhen and turned to the nearby Supervisor Elder. "Can we start now?"
"Enough!" Supervisor Elder nodded with a strange expression.
This Supervisor Elder was not a member of the Li Family, but had received some benefits from Li Xingqi and was helping to arrange the duel between Ye Feng and Li Zhen in advance.
"Golden Rainbow Sword Technique, please guide me!" Li Zhen put away his smile and took out a long sword that shone with golden Sword Light, shouting loudly before charging towards Ye Feng.
In order to restrain Ye Feng, Li Zhen mobilized almost all of his Vital Energy, swinging his hand to unleash the most powerful move of the Golden Rainbow Sword Technique, "Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun"!
The long sword in Li Zhen's hand, infused with Vital Energy, shone brightly. As he swept the sword horizontally, it transformed into a golden rainbow, heading straight for Ye Feng.
At the same time, on Blue Shadow's side, she had already engaged in battle with a disciple of the Li Family named Li Chengce!
After exchanging a few simple moves with Blue Shadow, Li Chengce suddenly turned his body and disappeared from her line of sight, reappearing behind her in the next moment.
Li Chengce sneered and unleashed his Vital Energy, demonstrating his cultivation at the Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level. He pointed his right index finger at Blue Shadow's back.
This was directly aimed at the location of her Dantian. This powerful strike was intended to directly disrupt Blue Shadow's cultivation.
