I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

Hearing the cheers from the audience, the two men who had just jumped onto the stage showed excitement and excitement on their faces. As practitioners, who wouldn't want to be cheered and recognized by everyone under the spotlight? So, whether it was for the Tiansai itself or for their own vanity, the moment they stood on the stage, they had only one thought in their minds, which was to defeat the opponent in front of them, and to defeat him magnificently!

As the two of them took their positions, the man leading the team said in a deep voice, "Since both parties are in place, let's get started!"

The man's voice was not loud and seemed very easygoing, but it was this easygoing and calm voice that instantly made the two people facing each other red-eyed. After hearing the man's words, the two people quickly materialized the spirit seal and attacked each other.

One of these two people is level 130, and the other is level 120. Of course, this is only judged based on the spiritual seals they manifested, and does not represent their true strength. After all, no one knows whether they have hidden their strength.

The fight between the two was very intense. Although one of them showed the strength of level 130, he was on par with the one at level 120. This was enough to show that the one at level 120 was hiding his strength, but it was unknown how much strength he had hidden. Qiu Yan watched the fight between the two very carefully, because one of them might be the opponent he would face in the future. Observing their fighting styles now would definitely be helpful for his future battles.

The fight between the two lasted about ten minutes. The man who manifested himself as level 130 gradually lost the upper hand and could only barely resist the attacks of the other man. He had no strength left to fight back.

Generally speaking, the outcome of a fight at this point is basically determined, unless the man has hidden strength that has not been brought out, otherwise there is no need to persist, and persisting is just a waste of time. However, as practitioners, most people have a spirit of not admitting defeat in their hearts, especially practitioners after level 100. They know how difficult it is to practice, and of course they will not give up easily.

However, some things cannot be changed by persistence. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how hard you persist, the result will be the same. So, after persisting for a while, the 130-level man completely lost the power to resist and was knocked off the platform by the 120-level man with a punch. The man who was knocked off the platform fainted immediately, and it is estimated that he was seriously injured.

After the man was knocked off the stage, he was carried away for treatment, and his competition token was taken back, which meant that he had ended his eligibility to participate in the competition. After the man was carried away, the man who manifested level 120 successfully advanced to become the first contestant in the seven groups to advance.

Just like that, the match between number one and number two was declared over, and number three and number four came on stage to compete. After more than ten minutes, there was another win and a loss, and the match between number three and number four was declared over, and then it was number five and number six.

Qiu Yan was watching the competition from the stage. He also secretly scanned his group to see if the woman in white he saw last time was in his group. Because the woman in white was an opponent Qiu Yan could not challenge no matter what, he did not want the woman in white to be in the same group with him. After observing for a while, Qiu Yan did not see the woman in white in his group, which made him feel relieved. If the woman in white was not there, he should have no problem passing the audition with his current strength.

Qiu Yan was relieved that he didn't find the figure of the woman in white, and he didn't look for which group the woman in white was in, because as long as the woman in white was not in the same group with him, she could be in any group she wanted. Anyway, he just had to avoid causing trouble for himself.

The competition went on like this, from sunrise to sunset, without stopping. But even so, Qiu Yan's group only played against No. 103 and No. 104, and Qiu Yan was No. 300, so it was not Qiu Yan's turn at all today.

As the matches of No. 103 and No. 104 ended, the team leader announced that today's matches were over, and No. 105 and No. 106 would continue tomorrow morning. Qiu Yan's group's match ended, and the other nine groups also finished their matches one after another. At this time, the audience and contestants on the field also left one after another. After leaving the field, some people had the joy of victory on their faces, while others showed reluctance and frustration on their faces.

Of course, there were more people who didn't have a turn to compete. Some of them looked happy and yearning, some were excited and eager to try, and some were full of anxiety. Some of them were alone, while others were in groups of three or five, talking and laughing. Qiu Yan didn't know whether they had known each other for a long time or just met today. Anyway, Qiu Yan was alone and walked out of the stadium silently. In fact, the imperial city was unusually lively before the Tian race began, especially at night, it was full of singing and dancing, a paradise on earth!

It’s just that Qiu Yan has never been out except for matters related to Tiansai, so he has no feeling about the prosperity and bustle of the imperial city. He just simply knows that the imperial city is very lively.

Qiu Yan walked alone, thinking about the game he saw today. Among the more than 100 people who played today, the strongest one was a cultivator of more than 150 levels. Because of his strong strength, Qiu Yan paid special attention to him and listed him as one of the most not to be underestimated opponents.

Because, this person's strength is not weak, and his strength is about the same as Qiu Fang's. Moreover, this person's moves are sinister and vicious, and he is also good at using hidden weapons to attack. It can be said that it is hard to defend against. If the person who fought against him today had not had the foresight to admit defeat early, he would probably have to confess on the field today. Facing such a vicious person, Qiu Yan is not sure of winning. He can only pay more attention in future games. It would be best if he could find this person's flaws, otherwise Qiu Yan would probably be very passive when he meets him in the future.

"What are you thinking about!" Just as Qiu Yan lowered his head to think about these things, a voice that was somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar came into Qiu Yan's ears. Qiu Yan looked up and saw a girl in a yellow short skirt standing in front of him at some point. This girl was none other than Jin Ling'er.

Seeing that it was Jin Ling'er, Qiu Yan seemed a little surprised. He swept away the messy thoughts in his mind, smiled and asked Jin Ling'er, "Miss Ling'er, why are you here?"

When Jin Ling'er heard Qiu Yan's question, she walked towards him with a smile, saying as she walked, "Didn't I tell you last time at Canglan Mansion that I would come to cheer you on!"

Hearing Jin Ling'er say this, Qiu Yan suddenly remembered that Jin Ling'er did say this at the time. In addition, the Tiansai Festival was a grand event, so even if Jin Ling'er didn't say this, it was normal for her to come here to watch the game. So Qiu Yan, who figured this out, stopped worrying about it, smiled and asked Jin Ling'er, "Are you here alone?"

"No!" Jin Ling'er shook her head, and then continued, "I came here with my parents." After saying that, Jin Ling'er seemed to suddenly remember something, and then hurriedly said to Qiu Yan, "By the way, where do you live now? Can I live with you?"

Hearing Jin Ling'er ask this, Qiu Yan became a little confused. He did not answer Jin Ling'er's question, but asked back, "Don't you have a place to live?"

"Yes, yes." Jin Ling'er replied somewhat helplessly, and then continued, "My aunt lives in the imperial city, so we moved into my aunt's house when we arrived, but I don't like living in my aunt's house. As soon as she sees me, she wants to introduce me to this prince or that young master. I'm so annoyed!

I originally wanted to move out on the first day, but I arrived too late, and all the inns in the imperial city were full. I didn’t know anyone else in the imperial city, so I could only stay at my aunt’s house and listen to her nagging. But now it’s good, now I’ve found you, you must have a place to stay!”

Jin Ling'er seemed a little excited when she said the last sentence, as if she had found a life-saving straw. But Qiu Yan had already made the mistake once, so of course he would not let Jin Ling'er live with him again.

Firstly, Jin Ling'er likes to drink. If he lives with her, he will probably be forced to drink every day. Secondly, Qiu Yan will have to tell Jin Ling'er about his identity sooner or later. Qiu Yan doesn't want to become an enemy of Jin Ling'er by then. In addition, Qiu Yan also wants to be quiet during this period, so that he can have more time to analyze the opponent's situation, which is very important for his future competitions.

With the above reasons, Qiu Yan definitely didn't want Jin Ling'er to be with him, but Qiu Yan could neither express his thoughts nor directly reject Jin Ling'er without reason. Qiu Yan had to use a more tactful reason that would leave Jin Ling'er speechless to reject her.

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan began to ponder in his mind. After thinking for a while, Qiu Yan finally came up with a good reason, so he said to Jin Ling'er, "Ms. Ling'er, I do have a place to live, but I can't let you live with me. First, if you do that, it will embarrass your aunt. After all, you have a place to live but you want to move out. It's obvious that you have something against your aunt, right?

Secondly, it’s the critical moment of the competition recently, and I need to analyze the opponent’s situation every day in order to prepare the corresponding countermeasures, so…” Qiu Yan wanted to say that he needed a quiet environment now and couldn’t accompany Jin Ling’er to drink or something, but considering that it would not be good to say it directly, he didn’t say it.
