However, this is not the case for VIP seats, where the seats are fixed.

Not only ordinary citizens were so eager to come here, but major media outlets from Zhongzhou City also came.

At nine o'clock, Ye Feng finally arrived here with Xi Yao, Sun Muqing, Jiang Lingxuan, and Bai Yue.

The second round of the martial arts tournament has finally begun.

"The first match of the second round features Sun Shaobai, a martial artist at the eighth level of the Opening Wheel Realm, against Liu Qingying, a martial artist at the first level of the Qi Movement Realm!"

Liu Quanling made a loud announcement on the stage, and Sun Shaobai and Liu Qingying went up on stage together, standing five steps apart.

Ye Feng probably didn't expect that the first match of the second round would be against Sun Shaobai, so a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The audience and the reporters and cameramen present all showed excited expressions.

"It's him, it's that young martial artist!"

"He is undoubtedly a martial arts genius!"

"I didn't expect to be facing him in the first match of the second round. Luckily, I arrived early!"

"You're here early? You've been standing all this time watching the game, and that's considered early?"

The audience was very excited, engaging in a lively discussion.

Meanwhile, reporters from major media outlets have already begun reporting on the story.

"As you all see, the second round of the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Tournament has begun. Today's first match is between the young genius Sun Shaobai and Liu Qingying, a martial artist at the first level of the Qi Movement Realm!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Qingying is a martial artist at the first level of the Qi Movement Realm. Although she is only two minor realms higher than the young genius Sun Shaobai, we all know that there is a huge gap between the ninth level of the Opening Wheel Realm and the first level of the Qi Movement Realm. This battle will definitely be very intense!"

"I am Chen Haihua, a reporter from Longwei Media. Behind me is the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Tournament. Today is the second round of matches, and the first match of the second round is..."

More than ten major media outlets in Zhongzhou City were broadcasting live from the scene, with all the cameras pointed at Sun Shaobai.

Although Liu Qingying's martial arts level is higher than Sun Shaobai's, the protagonist of this duel has clearly become Sun Shaobai, not him!

But Liu Qingying wasn't angry. How could an adult argue with a child?

He now only wants to defeat his opponent, or be defeated by his opponent.

"Are you all ready?" Liu Quanling asked loudly.

“I’m ready!” Sun Shaobai said without hesitation.

“I’m ready too!” Liu Qingying added.

Liu Quanling then waved his hand emphatically and announced loudly, "Then, the duel begins!"

As soon as Liu Quanling finished speaking, Sun Shaobai and Liu Qingying charged at each other. The two collided like two cannonballs, producing a loud bang.

A ring-shaped shockwave spread outwards from them, stirring up dust in the surrounding area.

"Amazing!"

"How wonderful it would be if I could become such a powerful martial artist!"

"Sun Shaobai truly lives up to his reputation as a young genius; he can hold his own even against a Qi Movement Realm martial artist!"

"He hasn't used the seal to break it yet!"

"So, what exactly is the martial art technique that Sun Shaobai used to break the seal?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

The audience members were excitedly discussing and shouting, making the stands extremely noisy.

But Sun Shaobai and Liu Qingying on the stage were not agitated by this; on the contrary, they were both filled with passion!

After all, displaying one's martial arts skills in front of tens of thousands of people and engaging in a head-to-head duel with an opponent is something that countless people have never experienced in their entire lives!

Especially Sun Shaobai!

So many people call him a child prodigy, which has made him a little arrogant!

After all, this was an experience he had never had before!

Sun Shaobai was originally just an ordinary teenager. Two years ago, his parents died in a car accident. Although they left him a lot of money and he was able to live a worry-free life, he was like a rootless duckweed without his parents.

He had no relatives or friends, was bullied at school, and looked down upon by others.

If it weren't for meeting his master, who guided him to become a martial artist and gain martial arts skills, he would probably still be living that kind of stifled life!

I've had enough of this kind of life!

Sun Shaobai roared inwardly, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Despite being at a lower level than his opponent, Sun Shaobai recklessly launched an attack, channeling all his grief and anger into motivation!

"My God, Sun Shaobai is actually using this kind of injury-for-injury fighting style, which is very disadvantageous for him!"

"This is really unwise. Sun Shaobai should focus on roaming around the map."

"Indeed, his cultivation level is two levels lower than his opponent's, so trading injury for injury would only put him in a very passive situation!"

Among the audience were many independent martial artists, who were quite perceptive and immediately recognized the unwise nature of Sun Shaobai's fighting style.

But Sun Shaobai continued his relentless attack!

Attack, attack, attack! It seemed that only the word "attack" remained in his mind!

"Are you crazy?!"

Liu Qingying took a step back and roared.

Sun Shaobai laughed loudly, "I'm not crazy, I'm perfectly fine! If you're scared, you can admit defeat on your own!"

"You think I'll admit defeat? No way!"

Liu Qingying snorted coldly and raised her hands to unleash her martial arts skills, with a semi-transparent lion head appearing in each of her hands.

"Heavenly Wind Lion Fist!"

Liu Qingying unleashed the Heavenly Wind Lion Fist, each punch delivering at least twice the power of the previous one!

Sun Shaobai was hit twice in a row and immediately vomited bright red blood.

"You think this is all my power? Haha, seal released!"

Sun Shaobai let out a roar, and a powerful surge of true energy erupted from his body, causing the surrounding air to become turbulent.

"What seal breaking? It's clearly burning life force."

"The Night Wind, which has already opened its Myriad Laws Golden Eyes, said coldly."

Sun Muqing frowned and said, "This fool is actually burning his life force; this will damage his very essence."

"Do you think he would care about these things?" Ye Feng asked.

Jiang Lingxuan said, "This move was most likely taught to him by that old man. Burning life force to squeeze out potential can unleash stronger strength and speed up cultivation, but this method is no different from pulling up seedlings to help them grow, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

“Yes.” Bai Yue nodded in agreement.

However, Sun Shaobai on the stage was unaware of this; instead, he felt joy.

"Such immense power! This is my power! Liu Qingying, do you see? I am now stronger than you!"

Just then, a clicking sound rang out.

Something inside Sun Shaobai's body seems to have shattered.

What shattered was precisely his bottleneck!

He broke through the bottleneck and advanced from the eighth level of the Wheel Opening Realm to the ninth level!
