understand that these powerful families aren't built in one generation through hard work, but rather take several generations to achieve.As the saying goes, "Wealth doesn't last beyond three generatio..."Well then, I'll leave it to you, Head Manager."

Song Jian didn't say much either. In his view, as long as he controlled the overall situation, some minor details didn't matter at all.

Under such self-imposed rules, even if the Lingxiao Academy wins one or two games, it would still be difficult to escape being swept out.

Next, he started to determine the students who would participate in the first round of the competition, according to the list.

"Song Guangyi of the Tianfeng Empire Royal Family, Mu Zifeng of Changfeng Academy, and Li Qingzhu of Lingxiao Academy."

According to Song Jian's previous information, Mu Zifeng from Cangfeng Academy came from Beikong Sword Sect and had reached the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, while Li Qingzhu from Lingxiao Academy was only at the early stage of the Refining Void Realm.

He went down the list, calling out names, in order to make sure that the Lingxiao Academy side couldn't win a single match.

As for the Tianfeng Empire's royal family, their overall strength is relatively weak. Apart from his daughter, he doesn't have high expectations for anyone else.

So his overall goal for this selection competition was not to let the Heavenly Peak Empire royal family make a name for themselves, but merely to strike at Ye Bufan.

Li Qingzhu didn't expect that the first person called out was herself. After taking Ye Bufan's elixir, she had already broken through to the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm. There was no fear in her heart, so she strode over directly.

Soon, the three people whose names were called walked to the edge of the ring and drew lots in front of Zheng Sanbao.

At this moment, three little balls have been placed inside three porcelain bowls, arranged on a table. During the drawing of lots, one simply needs to randomly choose any one of the porcelain bowls.

As for using divine sense to cheat, don't even think about it in front of Zheng Sanbao, a powerhouse at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Li Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then directly selected the porcelain bowl in the middle. Upon opening it, she found a small red ball inside.

On the royal side, Song Guangyi chose the bowl on the left. When he opened it, there was also a red ball inside.

That is to say, the first match will be played between him and Li Qingzhu.

Muzifeng of Cangfeng Academy opened the last bowl, inside remained a single blue ball.

Then the match officially began, and Li Qingzhu and Song Guangyi walked onto the stage.

Song Guangyi was the weakest among the six people in the Tianfeng Empire's royal family. Song Jian sent him to the field without any hope, only wanting Mu Zifeng to kill Li Qingzhu.

So after the match began, it was a smooth sailing. It only took three moves for Li Qingzhu to kick him off the stage with one foot.

As the top beauty present, Li Qingzhu naturally commanded high popularity. After her victory, a wave of cheers and shouts erupted around her. Song Jian, on the other hand, slightly furrowed his brows. While he wasn't surprised by the outcome of the competition, Li Qingzhu's cultivation having reached the mid-stage of the Refining Void Realm was beyond his expectations.

Anshun Wangfu had an extremely powerful intelligence network throughout the entire Tianfeng Imperial City. According to the information he received, this woman should have been at the early stage of the Refining Void Realm. How could she suddenly improve so quickly

But regardless of whether he was happy or not, the fact was right there: Li Qingzhu's cultivation base was undeniable.

Due to the special format of this match, there will be a one-minute break after the first game.

In fact, in the battle against Song Guangyi, Li Qingzhu did hold back and didn't expend too much energy.

After a short break, they returned to the stage for the second match, standing together under the hosting of Zheng Sanbao.

Mu Zi Feng held a sword in his arms, his expression extremely cold and stern. As the core disciple of Bei Qiong Sword School, he had his own pride.

He glanced at Li Qingzhu, "You're not bad, but you're still not my opponent. Just concede defeat!"

"Shameless!"

As for this self-righteous person, Li Qingzhu didn't have any politeness. As the competition officially began, the sword in her hand transformed into a streak of light and slashed forward.

Muzi Feng didn't hesitate at all. The sword in his arms unsheathed itself, like a silver dragon, rushing forward.

Both of them were at the middle stage of the Refining Void realm. At this moment, their clash was awe-inspiring, with dazzling sword light blinding the eyes.

Urging each other, they stared intently. With a crisp clang, the two swords met in a flash of light. Sparks flew as they clashed upon the platform, a shower of metallic pings and thuds echoing through the air.

Here, the arena is reinforced by an array formation, incredibly sturdy and showing no signs of damage.

The first clash was a stalemate, with both sides backing away seven or eight steps.

As the only student of Lingxiao Academy ever, Li Dao'ran's granddaughter, Li Qingzhu, has always held a grudge in her heart.

I long for the day when I can face Cangfeng Academy and utterly crush them, avenging past humiliations.

Now that the opportunity had arrived, she naturally did not hesitate. The sword in her hand once again slashed out, sending a shower of sword light flying towards their location.

Now Muzi Feng looks solemn, devoid of the former arrogance.

He could see it now, regardless of her cultivation or swordsmanship, the woman before him was in no way inferior to him.

I originally thought that with the foundation of my Beique Sword Sect, coming to the imperial capital of Tianfeng Empire this time would be like being invincible, just going through the motions. The real opponents would be at the newcomer ranking tournament in Daxing Empire.

The result, however, was beyond his expectations. As soon as he took the stage, he encountered such a formidable opponent.

The two clashed once more, their blades flashing in a flurry of exchanges.

When the two parted once again, Li Qingzhu had a large gash on her left arm, while Mu Zifeng's right chest was stained red with blood.

Although the rules of the competition once stated that only victory or defeat was considered, not life or death, it is still necessary to avoid casualties as much as possible.

But despite saying it was just a friendly match, when they were evenly matched, neither of them held back.

Mu Zifeng reached into his chest and pressed a few times, trying to control the flow of blood from his wound. At this moment, his expression became increasingly grim.

Li Qingzhu, however, was not bothered at all. A hint of excitement even flashed in her eyes, and she rushed up again in the blink of an eye.

Both combatants were evenly matched, and the ensuing battle was nothing short of brutal. Blood splattered everywhere from time to time as they unleashed powerful attacks.

Everyone present was shocked. Hu Yaya sat beside Ye Bufan, clutching his arm and saying, "Damn Cangfeng Academy, they're so shameless, where did they get such a powerful expert"

Lu Xue Man, sitting beside him, also wore a worried expression. “Xiao Fan, do you think Qing Zhu will be alright”

"Don't worry, we've already won this game."

Ye Bufan spoke with confidence.

"Little brother, how did you figure that out" Hu Yaya asked in confusion.

Chu Lingxi and the others also cast puzzled glances. Judging from the scene, the two were evenly matched, with neither showing any clear advantage.

" Guessed it! "

A strange smile appeared on Ye Bufan's face.

He knew this woman's character better than anyone, once chasing after her with a sword for an entire night.

This kind of tenacious and stubborn personality, when facing opponents of equal strength, naturally has the advantage.

And he could see that Mu Zifeng's eyes were already filled with fear. In this situation, defeat was only a matter of time.

As expected, the two engaged in hundreds of moves, and finally, Li Qingzhu struck with a palm that sent Mu Zifeng flying off the stage. At the same time, her left arm was pierced by his sword.

At this moment, she stood on the stage, her whole body covered in wounds, completely soaked in blood, looking utterly miserable.

But this woman, just as Ye Bufan had guessed, was incredibly stubborn. She used her sword to support herself on the ground, standing there with unwavering determination.

After the fierce battle, Zheng Sanbao, using his distinctive voice, announced the results of the match: "In the first game, Lingxiao Academy wins!"

Let me know if you have other text to translate! blow, and he collapsed to the ground like mud.Of course, it was Ye Tian who made the move. Like a mantis catching a cicada, while a yellow sparrow lurks behind, Black Leopard was waiting to ambush L...
