Long River Eternity

The host and medical staff came on stage together. The host briefly confirmed Nangong Ya's condition and then announced Ji Haoyu's victory.

Immediately afterwards, with the careful treatment of medical staff, Nangong Ya slowly woke up and walked off the ring with a dejected face.

"In fact, Nangong Ya's strength is quite remarkable. At least she has a solid foundation and her cultivation is genuine. She doesn't rely too much on external things to force her growth. It's just that she is still young, and perhaps she has poured all her energy into improving her cultivation, so that her actual combat ability is slightly weak." Liu Xianxian analyzed in an orderly manner.

"That's right. If she had faced an ordinary player in the early stage of Yuheng Realm, she might have won. However, Ji Haoyu has strong actual combat ability, which makes up for the slight shortcomings in cultivation. It's really a pity." Lin Ding continued with Liu Xianxian's words.

"However, compared with the little brat, Ji Haoyu is still a little inferior, and if he doesn't have some special means, he will definitely not be Xiao Xi's opponent." Wei Wu said firmly on the side.

Sitting in front of Wei Wu was Ji Yuntian, the head of the Ji family, who was also the white-haired old man who stood next to Nian Zhongsheng when he appeared.

Ji Yuntian couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing Wei Wu's words, and then said calmly: "I am quite looking forward to seeing who is better among the disciples of our Ji family, the disciples of the Feng family, and the disciples of the descendants of the Divine Envoy."

Wei Wu was stunned when he heard this, then scratched his head awkwardly, looking as if he had been caught red-handed while talking bad about someone behind their back.

Lin Ding hurriedly said, "Master Ji, Wei Wu speaks his mind frankly, I hope you won't be offended."

Obviously, Lin Ding was not apologizing for Wei Wu, but just saying that he was outspoken, not saying that he was wrong. In other words, he was saying: Lao Deng, my brother is just telling the truth, don't be offended!

Nian Zhongsheng smiled when he heard Lin Ding's words, and then said, "Brother Yuntian, let's just watch the battle today. We don't need to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."

Hearing Nian Zhongsheng's words, Ji Yuntian snorted lightly and said no more.

The next three matches were all duels between the children of different families. They could only be described as mediocre, without any special features.

After all, these children have not been practicing for a long time. As Liu Xianxian said, they have basically invested most of their energy in improving their cultivation and have not learned any combat skills at all. Therefore, there is nothing interesting to watch in the battle, let alone the word "exciting".

Although they are all at the Yuheng Realm, the gap between each person is still quite obvious. However, when Tang Yuanqing fought against Yin Yi, his combat power was several times that of these children. This is the gap created by actual combat experience.

At this moment, the first round of competition was already halfway through, and it was finally Feng Xi's turn to compete in the fifth game. His opponent was a boy from the Qi family named Qi Yuanshan, who was nine years old and in the early stage of Yuheng Realm.

As soon as Feng Xi stepped onto the stage, all kinds of discussions arose from the audience.

"Is this the descendant of the mysterious Feng family? I wonder how strong he is."

"Does anyone know why the Feng family suddenly appeared this time?"

"Recently, there have been only two major events: the resurgence of spiritual energy and the invasion of the Demon Alliance. What other reasons could there be?"

As everyone was discussing this, Wei Wu's face was filled with regret. "What terrible luck! Both of these little brats were placed in the second half of the round. Doesn't that mean one of them will miss the finals?"

Lin Ding smiled bitterly and said, "It's just bad luck, there's nothing we can do."

At this moment, the battle on the stage had already begun. Qi Yuanshan rushed towards Feng Xi like an arrow from a bow. Feng Xi saw this and lightly tapped his foot. The Fuxi Qimen within a ten-meter radius instantly appeared beneath his feet.

When Qi Yuanshan stepped into the Qimen area, Feng Xi pinched the magic formula with his fingers and whispered: "Kan Gua, Jingtao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beside him suddenly rolled up a surging wave and rushed towards Qi Yuanshan.

Qi Yuanshan was shocked. He didn't know how powerful the waves were. He didn't dare to resist them head-on. He had to rise from the ground and hang in the air to avoid the fierce attack of the huge waves.

"Zhen Gua, thunder strike." Feng Xi cast the spell again.

In an instant, several bolts of lightning struck from the sky, heading straight for Qi Yuanshan. Qi Yuanshan was caught off guard and was struck hard by the lightning. His whole body stiffened instantly, and he fell straight back to the ground, hitting the ring with a heavy bang.

Before Qi Yuanshan could recover from his shock, Feng Xi whispered again, "Xun Gua, entanglement."

In a flash, several extremely thick vines suddenly sprang out from the ground, tightly wrapped Qi Yuanshan layer by layer, and then swung him heavily, throwing him far away.

Qi Yuanshan, who was flying in the air, finally realized that the numbness in his body had disappeared, and then he began to struggle violently.

Just as he landed, Qi Yuanshan roared and finally tore the vines on his body apart, breaking free from the restraints. He did a beautiful somersault in the air and landed steadily, ready to pounce on Feng Xi again.

However, at this moment, the host's voice came from a distance: "Congratulations to Feng Xi for winning."

Qi Yuanshan was stunned, then quickly looked around and found that he had already moved away from the ring and was standing outside the venue, almost approaching the audience seats.

Qi Yuanshan jumped back onto the stage and shouted, "I don't accept it! His moves were weird, and I wasn't prepared, so I got caught off guard. I can still fight again, I didn't lose!"

The host came to the ring, smiling, and patiently explained: "Master Qi, a real battlefield won't give you time to understand the enemy's moves. Besides, you were restrained just now, and Feng Xi just threw you out of the ring. If this was an enemy, you would probably be dead."

"I don't care. There is no arena in a real battlefield! Why should you lose if you fall out of the arena?!" Qi Yuanshan said stubbornly and relentlessly.

Qi Yuanshan's words caused the audience to burst into laughter.

Seeing that Qi Yuanshan didn't listen to the advice and started to act like a spoiled child, the host didn't dare to treat Qi Yuanshan harshly as he was a little genius from a big family. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment and had to turn her gaze towards the Qi family.

At this moment, Qi Wuxie leaped onto the stage, raised his hand and slapped Qi Yuanshan on the head, angrily saying: "Don't embarrass yourself here, get off now!"

Then he grabbed Qi Yuanshan by the collar and threw him off the stage. As he walked off the stage, he raised his hand awkwardly to apologize to the audience around him: "Haha, I was not disciplined well. Please don't be offended. Let's continue the game."

At this moment, the audience immediately began to discuss.

"I think what that kid said makes sense. During a real fight, everywhere would be a battlefield. How could there be an arena to restrict our movements?"

"That's right, this is a competition. If there's no arena, how can we fight from the east to the west of the city?"

“That being said, it doesn’t seem real enough.”

"You're still getting too competitive. Kids compete just for fun. Why does it have to be so serious?"

"Cough." Just as the audience was talking, Nian Zhongsheng stood up, coughed lightly and cleared his throat.

Nian Zhongsheng's voice instantly spread throughout the entire arena. Upon hearing this, the discussion at the scene immediately stopped, and everyone looked at Nian Zhongsheng.

Then, Nian Zhongsheng said with a smile, "The point the Qi family kid just raised was quite interesting. I'm sure many people here share the same thought: why would there be a fighting arena on a battlefield?"

Nian Zhongsheng paused, then said in a deep voice: "But if we can't even hold the edge of the arena right now, then one day in the future, when the area outside this edge is no longer an empty wasteland.

But it becomes your relatives and friends, your tribe, the city you live in, and everything you want to protect. When this borderline becomes the last line of defense to protect everything, how will you choose?

Should I retreat and escape without a care in the world, or should I defend everything behind me with all my might?!"
