211: One more round

The strong man named Zhou Shua lay on the ground, and when the soldiers went up to the arena to ask him to step down, people realized he had fainted.

At this moment, a Young Miss presented a crystal to Ye Kong.

"This is an eighth-grade magic crystal!"

Ye Kong thought, 'Not bad,' and with a flash of white light from the storage ring on his fingertip, he put the magic crystal into the ring.

Then, Ye Kong lightly leaped, landed in the main hall, bowed deeply to the Emperor, and returned to his designated area.

Everyone present was very surprised, especially those who had not witnessed Ye Kong's abilities before.

They originally thought Ye Kong was just exaggerated by television programs.

To their surprise, seeing him today, he was indeed valiant!

"It seems Ye Kong is truly a Genius of the younger generation; we must also be careful!"

"That's right, never underestimate the enemy!"

However, some people also felt that it wasn't that Ye Kong was strong, but simply that the person named Zhou Shua was weak.

"Hmph, how high does this Zhou Shua rank in Nantianmen? I've never even heard of such a person."

"Ye Kong was just lucky to encounter a fool!" Amidst the discussions, General Zhen Guo spread his hands, asking everyone to maintain silence.

The scene gradually quieted down.

"Next, please welcome the next challenger!"

The challenged person cannot be challenged consecutively, so Ye Kong could rest assured for this round.

However, after this round, Ye Kong still faced the risk of being challenged.

And after a challenger wins, he can challenge consecutively, and the rewards obtained will be even more generous.

As soon as Ye Kong took his seat, someone stood out from the crowd flying towards the arena and arrived on the stage.

"Who will come?"

This person did not name anyone, extending an invitation to duel to everyone.

Immediately, someone accepted the challenge and stepped onto the arena.

"I will!"

General Zhen Guo said, "Both parties, state your names!"

The challenger, with fiery red hair and a heroic aura, cupped his fists and said, "Tian Xuan Sect, Huo Ding!"

The one who accepted the challenge said, "Changqing Family, Chang Runfeng!"

Wang Jian then introduced to Ye Kong, "This Tian Xuan Sect is a super sect, and I have heard of the name Huo Ding."

"He should be one of the most powerful individuals in the Tian Xuan Sect sect."

"And the Changqing Family opposite him belongs to the normal Family category; I haven't heard of any strong individuals there. They probably came to participate in the Ten Kingdoms Tournament just to gain some experience."

Huo Ding bowed to Chang Runfeng while looking into the main hall.

Ye Kong's expression flickered, feeling that Huo Ding was looking at him.

Interesting!

Ye Kong immediately had a premonition that if Huo Ding defeated Chang Runfeng, he would choose to challenge him consecutively and by name.

The war drums beat, and the atmosphere of struggle immediately arose.

As the last heavy drumbeat fell, both sides moved.

A bell immediately appeared in Huo Ding's hand.

This was no ordinary bell, but the treasure of the Tian Xuan Sect sect's teachings.

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Huo Ding to reveal his treasure right at the start of the match!

Huo Ding looked at Chang Runfeng and said, "Hurry up, once I'm done with you, I have others to fight!"

Chang Runfeng was very angry.

"How dare you underestimate me! Take this punch!"

Chang Runfeng flew forward, preparing for close-quarters combat with Huo Ding.

His entire body erupted with immense True Qi, propelling him to deliver a powerful punch!

"Buzz!"

Before the punch could land on Huo Ding, the teaching bell, under Huo Ding's full control, let out an earth-shattering roar.

The powerful force instantly stirred up a huge ripple, sweeping across the battlefield. Chang Runfeng was caught off guard, swept by the ripple, and his body instantly froze.

His punch lost its force, and Chang Runfeng knew he couldn't hit Huo Ding, so he had no choice but to retreat.

However, at this moment, Huo Ding vibrated the bell, releasing another rapid wave.

Chang Runfeng was clearly no match for Huo Ding and was swept by the ripple again, falling from mid-air, blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at Huo Ding with a desperate expression.

"How could this be? I haven't even used my full strength!"

Chang Runfeng was very unwilling, but the pain in his body prevented him from moving.

"It's already over!"

Huo Ding seized the opportunity, rushed over, and kicked Chang Runfeng in the stomach, sending him flying out of the arena.

The soldier raised the flag signaling the end.

General Zhen Guo said, "Two rounds, Huo Ding wins!"

The people of Tian Xuan Sect immediately stood up and applauded, celebrating Huo Ding's victory.

The Young Miss quickly brought the prize to the stage, but Huo Ding waved his hand.

"Wait until I win the next match, then give them to me all at once!"

Everyone immediately started discussing; was he going to start consecutive battles so soon?

In previous Ten Kingdoms Tournaments, participants generally would not choose consecutive battles immediately; they would first observe the strength of other participants before deciding whether to engage in consecutive battles.

For consecutive battles, starting from the third time, one cannot name an opponent; anyone can accept the challenge.

But this was the second round, and Huo Ding still had the right to name his opponent.

Seeing Huo Ding say this, General Zhen Guo asked, "Huo Ding, you want to fight consecutively, is that right?"

"That's right."

"State the person you wish to challenge!"

Huo Ding scanned the main hall square, and immediately many strong individuals eagerly stepped forward, pointing at their chests and shouting, "Choose me!"

"I'll be your opponent!"

"Huo Ding, do you dare to choose me?"

However, after looking around, Huo Ding remained unmoved and turned his gaze towards the main hall.

Everyone wondered, could he be challenging a royal representative?

"Ye Kong! Do you dare to fight me!"

Everyone was shocked, not expecting Huo Ding to dare challenge Ye Kong.

Cao Zhan then whispered to Ye Kong, "Huo Ding is very strong; there's no need to fight him in the early stages of the Tournament."

"It's better to refuse first, observe his methods for a few more days, and then fight; it won't be too late." Ye Kong pondered for a moment, then still stood up.

Everyone cheered.

"Ye Kong is going to accept the challenge!"

"This time the opponent is Huo Ding; Ye Kong will have a tough fight!"

"He wouldn't think fighting Huo Ding will be as easy as fighting Zhou Shua just now, would he?" Long Ao, from his Dragon Family's position, saw Ye Kong stand up to accept the challenge and also found it incredible.

"Fool, doesn't he know there's always someone better? In this situation, he should observe first, and it wouldn't be too late to fight later."

Long Ao was very displeased; he considered Ye Kong his number one opponent, but he didn't expect Ye Kong to be so irrational and directly accept Huo Ding's challenge.

Cao Zhan was also very puzzled and asked, "Ye Kong, calm down!"

Ye Kong smiled and said, "Steward Cao, what you said makes sense."

"However, this Huo Ding cannot do anything to me yet. How about I just go up and speed up this Ten Kingdoms Tournament!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, crackling electric light covered Ye Kong's body, and in an instant, a startling lightning bolt appeared out of thin air, landing in front of Huo Ding.

"You certainly have guts!"

Huo Ding shouted.

"A mere Venerable Realm, what is there to fear?" Ye Kong retorted.

Huo Ding was surprised; he had only used his treasure just now, and he didn't expect Ye Kong to see through his cultivation.

But so what?

Aren't you, Ye Kong, also in the Venerable Realm?

Looking at Ye Kong's playful smile, Huo Ding frowned, realizing that things were not simple!
