A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

The main reason Shen Ye had a bad impression of Chen Yue was that Chen Yue had damaged the image of Yunxuan Sect in front of all the king-level forces.

However, it seems impossible to find any conflict between the two.

The two were in the same group at the moment, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them. After all, they were now in the same boat, and the whole group needed to win in order to get a spot in the Spirit Spring.

All groups have been selected, and the slips of paper in their hands indicate the order of the group matches.

Fang Lei asked loudly, "Which two groups drew number one?"

The two groups, who were in the crowd, arrived at the battleground in the middle one after another after hearing this.

The two groups in the first group stage match came from two different places.

One of the groups consisted of four people who, like Chen Yue, came from a king-level force in the Lingyuan Mountains.

The other group belonged to a King-level force that Chen Yue had never heard of before, and it did not belong to the Lingyuan Mountain Range where they were located.

There were a total of seventeen king-level forces present, at least ten of which Chen Yue had never heard of.

However, this does not mean that their strength is weaker than that of the King-level forces of Lingyuan Mountain Range. Judging from the two groups on the field, the King-level disciples of Lingyuan Mountain Range are slightly inferior to their opponents.

The four disciples from Fengshu Manor and Lihuo Valley were all at the eighth level of the Spirit Talisman realm, and none of them had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm.

On the other hand, two members of their opposing team had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm.

Judging from their apparent strength, the disciples of Fengshu Manor and Lihuo Valley were somewhat suppressed.

While the difference in cultivation level may not seem significant, it is precisely these subtle differences that can determine the final outcome in a battle.

The moment the two teams arrived at the battle arena, the first team battle began.

All eyes were focused on the eight people in the center.

There wasn't even any extra dialogue before the battle began immediately, each disciple's face filled with longing for the spiritual spring.

For a time, the two sides fought fiercely, with the eight Spirit Mansion Realm cultivators giving their all and causing even more devastating damage than Chen Yue's earlier barrage.

Fang Lei realized that the situation was a bit off; it was too much for this place to withstand the full-force attack of eight Spirit Mansion Realm cultivators.

The main concern is that there is a precious spiritual spring behind it, and if it is damaged in the battle...

It seems the Emperor is about to cause him trouble, so to avoid these sect disciples getting too agitated...

Fang Lei activated his source power, creating an invisible source power barrier over the vast battlefield to prevent any attacks from accidentally damaging the spiritual spring.

At the beginning of the battle, the two groups were evenly matched and it was impossible to determine a winner.

However, as time passed, the four sect disciples on the Lingyuan Mountain Range were clearly starting to feel weak due to the large consumption of their source energy.

The opposing team is in a much better position than them.

The question of which team will ultimately emerge victorious begins here.

The group from Fengshu Manor and Lihuo Valley couldn't help but feel a little worried for their disciples who were going to take the stage.

Watching what was happening on the field, everyone could roughly guess the outcome of this battle.

In less than half an hour, the first group match ended abruptly.

As most people guessed, the group battle was lost by the disciples from the Lingyuan Mountain Range.

Since all the disciples selected by Fengshu Manor and Lihuo Valley were in the first battle group, both forces were eliminated on the spot.

Apart from the one Sun Wheel Realm cultivator who was chosen to directly enter the Spirit Spring at the beginning, Phoenix Book Manor and Li Huo Valley have had no further opportunities to enter the Spirit Spring.

Although it was a great pity for them, they had no one to blame but themselves for losing the battle in such a fair competition.

The first group match had everyone else itching to compete.

Su Mingxiang suddenly said, "I wonder who will be our opponent among the remaining five groups."

Su Mingyi put on an indifferent expression, "No matter which group we face, I am determined to win."

Chen Yue silently observed the other groups of Source Users, his eyes continuously emitting a dark red light.

With the blessing of the Primordial Supreme Technique, even if they did not actively release their source energy aura, Chen Yue could tell the cultivation level of each person at a glance.

Fang Lei shouted again, "Second group!"

Eight more people stepped onto the stage to begin a new round of battle.

Chen Yue wasn't very interested in this. He could tell their strength with just a glance; they were all at the eighth level of the Spirit Mansion realm, and there were two at the seventh level as well.

Compared to the first round of battles, the two groups in the second round are more evenly matched, if Chen Yue's guess is correct.

The second round of battle is very likely to be a protracted war. With both sides having similar strength, it will come down to who has the longer endurance.

If even one person from one of the groups can persevere, then that group will have a chance to advance.

This is the advantage of playing in a small group; it increases the likelihood of being carried to victory.

Chen Yue continued to observe the others. There were now four groups on stage, leaving only three groups that might be their opponents.

He quickly observed everyone else, and even skipped over the two groups after giving them a single glance.

Because their strength wasn't particularly impressive, the first group he observed consisted of two people at the eighth level of the Spirit Mansion Realm and two at the seventh level.

This group isn't particularly strong, and they have a high chance of being eliminated.

The second group we observed was somewhat better than the first one.

One is at the ninth level of the Spiritual Mansion realm and three are at the eighth level, but even with this level of strength, they would have no chance of winning against them.

Given Su Mingxiang and Su Mingyi's strength, they probably wouldn't even need Chen Yue to lift a finger; they could probably hold their own against them.

If Shen Ye were added to the mix, wouldn't they just explode on the spot? Chen Yue could easily win without lifting a finger.

Just as he was in a good mood and went to observe the last group, the burly young man at the head of the group quickly caught Chen Yue's attention.

His inner sea of ​​origin was completely different from that of other sect disciples. It was probably nourishing a spiritual palace within him, containing a more refined source power.

It can ensure that the source user can continuously provide power to their body when using a large amount of source energy.

However, this robust young man's source sea and spiritual palace were clearly several times larger than others, and there was also a beam of light constantly rotating along his spiritual palace.

Chen Yue looked closely and was surprised to find that the light was actually a sun wheel. A sun wheel had already formed, which meant that the burly young man's cultivation had reached the first level of the sun wheel realm.

The thirty-four disciples present were all chosen talents selected by various king-level forces, and their strength was generally at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Mansion realm.

There are only a handful of people at the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm, but I never expected there would be a Sun Wheel Realm cultivator among them.

Chen Yue then looked at his three teammates standing behind him, and each of them was a ninth-level Spirit Mansion expert.

This group's strength can be described as unmatched.
