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

Even Chen Yue wasn't confident he could completely defeat this group unless Qingxuan and Tianji intervened at a crucial moment.

The difference between a Sun Wheel Realm Originator and a Spirit Mansion Realm Originator is not small. Even if three or four half-step Sun Wheel Realm Originators join forces, they will definitely not be able to defeat a true Sun Wheel Realm Originator.

If the number on the slip of paper they hold is also three, then the next battle will be a bit tricky.

Even if Chen Yue continued to launch attacks with Heavenly Rank Origin Power, he was able to hold off this Sun Wheel Realm Origin Power user.

The other three Spirit Mansion Ninth Level cultivators are still a headache, but Su Mingxiang and Su Mingyi don't need to worry. They are both Spirit Mansion Ninth Level Origin Cultivators, so fighting opponents of the same level shouldn't be difficult for them.

The biggest fear is that Shen Ye, the biggest weakness in the group, might cause a problem. If the opposing team defeats Shen Ye first, the three of them can then team up to fight Su Mingxiang and Su Mingyi.

Given the same level of cultivation, it goes without saying which side would win in a three-against-two situation. In the end, it is highly likely that Chen Yue will be the one to fight four.

Thinking about all this, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; the overall strength of this group was simply too great.

Against any team, they would probably just sweep them aside.

Chen Yue could only hope in his heart that their opponents were not them, as there were still three groups left, which meant a one-in-three chance.

The chances of being drawn against them are not very high. If the opponents are those two groups, Chen Yue doesn't even need to make a move.

The four stood discreetly in the corner, their auras concealed so well that no one could detect them, as long as they didn't intentionally reveal their presence.

Who would have thought that these four people were the strongest among all the disciples of the sect present?

Especially that robust young man, just by looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a prodigy of the Sun Wheel Realm.

Chen Yue didn't tell the others in the group about this news, so as not to cause unnecessary tension. They would be worrying for nothing if their opponent in the next match wasn't them.

The second battle was drawing to a close, and only two people remained in each of the two groups.

The other six were all incapacitated, lying on the ground, panting heavily, each of them having given their all in this battle.

In order to enter the spiritual spring for cultivation, they did not easily give up even though they were already covered in wounds, and fought until they collapsed from exhaustion.

The two remaining players on the field had already exhausted the source energy they could mobilize within their source seas.

He couldn't even launch another source energy attack; he could only do his best to punch his opponent and defeat the last one in front of him.

The two fought with their last ounce of strength, each blow landing squarely, a contest of willpower.

The side that falls first loses. What appears to be a decisive battle between the two is actually carrying the will of the entire team.

Whether they can persevere will determine whether the other three members of the team will have the opportunity to enter the spiritual spring for cultivation.

Everyone watching the fight couldn't help but cheer for the two players.

About ten minutes later, both players on the field had reached their physical limits, and their consciousness was gradually fading.

Their punches slowed down considerably, and no one knew when they would fall.

But at that moment, with a thud, one of the disciples could no longer hold on and fell backward, completely losing consciousness.

As if sensing his opponent's defeat, the sect disciple who was still standing also lost all the energy to be happy.

After a moment of mental confusion, he also fell backward, and the second battle was completely over.

People from the sect to which the disciples belonged immediately came to the central battleground and gave them medicine to heal their injuries.

After two rounds of battles, eight sect disciples were eliminated, and the group battles were successfully concluded after two more rounds of combat.

Four groups will advance, and four more will be eliminated from the sixteen remaining contestants.

Fang Lei still needs to come up with another way to fight, to torment... no, to test the remaining disciples of the sect.

Once twelve disciples from various sects have been perfectly selected to enter the Spirit Spring, the task entrusted to him by the Great Yuan Emperor will be considered complete.

"Third group!"

Su Mingxiang took a deep breath. "Let's go, it's our turn."

Chen Yue kept his eyes glued to the remaining three groups, wondering which one would go with them to the battleground in the middle.

Upon hearing Fang Lei's words, the muscular young man strode towards the central battle arena, followed closely by the three others, each with a face beaming with the joy of victory.

Even though the third battle hadn't started yet, in their eyes it was no different from victory.

They were all very clear that they were confident of victory no matter which group they faced.

Not to mention their own cultivation at the ninth level of the Spirit Mansion realm, which was already extremely dazzling.

Their team leader was a Sun Wheel Realm cultivator, the only Sun Wheel Realm Origin Master among all the disciples of the King-level forces present.

They never imagined they could lose, and easily winning the third battle was something they had already planned for.

Seeing this, Chen Yue finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Now we don't have to worry about facing them anymore, because their next opponent is indeed them.

Su Mingxiang and his two companions were unaware of the seriousness of the situation; they were already mentally prepared for a fierce battle with the other side.

However, the strength of the four opponents is likely to leave them no chance for a fierce battle.

On the way to the battlefield, Su Mingxiang solemnly reminded him, "Chen Yue, Shen Ye, I know there's a conflict between you two."

"But I hope that in this battle, the two of you will not let your personal conflicts affect the battle of our entire group."

"From now on, we are a unified whole, and we all have a common enemy. If there are any conflicts, please resolve them after the battle."

Su Mingyi chimed in, "Focusing all your efforts on this battle is what you should be doing."

Shen Ye immediately responded, "Don't worry, Su brothers, I will take this battle seriously."

Chen Yue quickly replied, "Don't worry about us fighting amongst ourselves. What you should be worried about is how to win this battle."

Upon learning that the opposing team had a Sun Wheel Realm expert, Chen Yue had long since put his conflict with Shen Ye behind him; winning this battle was now the top priority.

Chen Yue didn't want to lose the opportunity to cultivate in the Spirit Spring because he was eliminated in the group stage.

A spiritual spring that can attract the attention of various king-level forces must be a valuable item.

Hearing Chen Yue's words, Su Mingyi said confidently, "From my observation, the four groups in the first two battles all had cultivation levels around the eighth level of the Spirit Mansion Realm."

"So our opponents will probably be the same, and with our cultivation level, winning the battle shouldn't be too difficult."

Chen Yue didn't say anything more. After all, the enemy's cultivation level hadn't been revealed yet, so it was normal for Su Mingyi to underestimate them a little.

Su Mingyi reminded them, "Don't underestimate your opponent; always be prepared for a tough battle."
