Among these eight people, Fan Xingcheng, Canglang and Huineng are considered dark horses. No one paid much attention to them before the start of the competition. The other five are basically favorites to win.

Looking at the sects, there is currently one person from the Tianci Sect, one person from the Jinchan Temple, one person from the Xuanshui Sect, one person from the Qianlilongcheng, one person from the Jiuli Tribe, one person from the Zongheng Chess Club, and the last is Jin Buhuan who represents the individual players. Only the Pijia Sect has no one advancing to the quarterfinals. The distribution of representatives of the major forces is relatively even.

……

After the duel on the third day, everyone went back to rest, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

In a room filled with alternating gold and white, Li Jiuzhan was applying medicine to his younger brother Li Changsheng. He was badly burned by Chen Qingzhou's red flames, and although he had no internal injuries, the wounds on his skin were very painful.

Li Jiuzhan looked ashen, and his movements of applying the medicine were in a panic. He had trained hard for three months, and followed Li Qianyu to participate in the Dragon City Competition with full confidence, ready to show off his skills and shock the Zhongzhou warriors who were once his sworn enemies. In the end, he was defeated by his mortal enemy in one move in the first match. This blow was too great.

"Dengdengdeng..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Li Jiuzhan thought it was Li Qianyu, because other people did not interact with the Jiuli people. But when he opened the door, he didn't see anyone. Li Jiuzhan looked around and finally lowered his head and found the short little monk Yuan Xin.

Li Jiuzhan asked: "Little monk, did you knock on the wrong door?"

Yuan Xin put his palms together and said, "No, I am here to heal Mr. Li."

"Can you heal injuries?"

"I am proficient in the third-level life-saving technique, 『Miraculous Hands Bringing Back Spring』. I cannot say that he will be cured immediately, but I can at least help Mr. Li relieve some of his pain."

When Li Jiuzhan heard this, he quickly moved aside and let Yuan Xin into the room.

Li Changsheng opened his eyes and said, "Thank you, little master."

Yuan Xin smiled slightly without saying anything. She spread out her two fair little hands, and golden warm light gradually covered Li Changsheng's body. The charred skin peeled off and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it would take some time to regenerate new skin, the pain had been relieved a lot.

Li Changsheng was able to sit up now. He bowed and said, "Thank you, young master."

Yuan Xin waved his hand, "Zhongzhou Jiuli is already one family, so you don't have to be polite, and you don't have to thank me, I am also entrusted by others."

Li Jiuzhan frowned and immediately became alert, "Who asked you to come?"

"Elder Chen Qingzhou of the Tianci Sect."

"what!"

Li Jiuzhan was furious. The previous grudges had not yet been settled, and this time he and his two brothers were defeated by Chen Qingzhou one after another. With new and old grudges added together, he had to kill him to vent his anger!

Li Jiuzhan cursed: "No need for him to pretend to be a good person! Just go!"

Li Changsheng advised: "Brother, you are here again, let's put things in perspective, why are you losing your temper with the young master?"

Yuan Xin smiled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Li, take good care of yourself. I'll take my leave."

Li Changsheng apologized with a smile, "Take care, young master. Thank you very much."

After Yuan Xin left, Li Changsheng said, "Brother, a duel is a duel, there will always be a winner and a loser, don't take it too seriously."

Li Jiuzhan calmed down a bit and sighed, "Changsheng, tell me, when we first met that kid named Chen, what was he? I could kill him with just one punch! But later, he got lucky and became more and more powerful. This time, he actually killed me with just one move..."

"What a coward!"

Li Changsheng patted his elder brother on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that. I thought I could go one step further with Senior Yunshan's skills, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't beat him."

Li Jiuzhan punched the wall heavily, then picked up the wine jug and drank it down in one gulp.

"But brother," Li Changsheng changed the subject, "Have you ever thought about it? Why is this happening?"

Li Jiuzhan was stunned. "Why? It's just a bad fate!"

Li Changsheng shook his head. "I saw so many powerful people compete in the Dragon City Competition this time. What did you see?"

Li Jiuzhan thought for a moment and said, "I have indeed seen the world. There are many masters in Zhongzhou."

"So what? Why can't we defeat them? Think about the little monk just now."

Li Jiuzhan thought about it again, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Anti-demon life-saving technique!"

"Yes," Li Changsheng nodded and said, "We are only a little behind them. I recently made some inquiries. According to them, this anti-demon life technique is also called the Heaven-given life technique. It has nothing to do with the Heaven-given sect. It refers to the gift from heaven. The reason why it is called life technique is that the life technique that is comprehended is generally related to one's own qualifications or cultivation."

"For example, the Pijia Sect, the martial arts they practiced were defensive, so Cheng Ruoque also comprehended the defensive art [Xuanwu], and it was even more powerful."

Li Jiuzhan quickly asked: "Then how can we comprehend the art of destiny?"

"I heard that it is to kill monsters. When killing monsters, you will get some kind of stimulation, which will increase the possibility of comprehending the life technique. Therefore, the God-given life technique is also called the anti-monster life technique."

"Killing monsters?" Li Jiuzhan understood the problem. "When it comes to killing monsters, how can the people of Zhongzhou compare to us? Why have we never heard of anyone in the Jiuli tribe comprehending any life-saving techniques?"

Li Changsheng pointed at Li Jiuzhan and said, "You hit the nail on the head. We have been fighting against all kinds of monsters in Nanman for many years, but why is there not a single tribe member who has mastered the art of fate? I think the problem lies in the land."

"W-what do you mean?"

Li Changsheng guessed, "We all killed monsters in Nanman Province. To put it bluntly, that is the territory of all monsters, or rather, it is not entirely our territory. Although Zhongzhou is not large, within the Qianli Dragon City, it is completely the territory of the Zhongzhou human race. Perhaps there is a kind of spiritual energy here that can help them comprehend the art of life after killing monsters."

"Ah..." Li Jiuzhan murmured and nodded, "It's possible, otherwise there wouldn't be any warriors in Jiuli who could comprehend the art of destiny."

"So, big brother, we made the right choice this time. This place is next to the East China Sea, and there is still some distance to Qianlilongcheng. When my injury is healed, we will go to the sea to kill monsters together and try to comprehend the art of life. This will greatly increase our combat power."

"it is good!"

Li Jiuzhan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "I must comprehend a powerful life-saving technique, and I don't believe that I can't kill the man named Chen!"

……

Fourth day.

The top eight battle in Dragon City.

Up to this point, fifty-five contestants had been eliminated, and the four arenas for the quarterfinals were all crowded with spectators. Some came to support their fellow disciples or their favorite people, some came to see the jokes of their enemies, some came to observe and learn, and some were forced to come. In short, there were all kinds of expressions and all kinds of people.

Except for the arenas of Fan Xingcheng and Canglang, which had fewer people around them, the other three were crowded.

Chen Qingzhou once again stood on his No. 32 ring, slowly closed his eyes, and quietly waited for today's opponent.

Soon, "Judge of Seven Tribulations" Xia Jiangnan, accompanied by sword maid Qingqing and a group of Ju Mang Xuan disciples, walked towards the arena. Qingqing kept whispering something, but Xia Jiangnan just shook his head and remained silent.

Walking to the bottom of the stage, Xia Jiangnan glanced at Chen Qingzhou, who was resting with his eyes closed and looking calm on the stage, then looked at Qingqing, paused for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand.
