This immediately displeased some other sects that didn't like the Qing Sect.

Originally, only the Flame Sect was eyeing the Green Sect.

Now, the top spot has been snatched away by the relatively unknown Qingzong sect.

Although they only ranked first in the preliminary round, they have already gained an advantage.

Naturally, some people couldn't stand it and started colluding with each other in private, trying to bring down Xiao Feng and his group.

They disregarded any notion of being aboveboard and went straight into discussing some underhanded tactics.

The second round of the competition is equivalent to a team battle, specifically the preliminary round of a team battle.

Originally hostile and antagonistic towards each other, the sects united after Xiao Feng led the Qing Sect disciples to achieve outstanding results in the first round of the preliminary competition.

They temporarily set aside their grudges and, when the Flame Sect approached them, they all tacitly agreed to cooperate with the Flame Sect.

Aside from Xiao Feng and the Xuan Tian Sect, which had already allied with the Qing Sect, several other shameless sects directly joined forces.

They exchanged the magical treasures they possessed.

Because the draw had already taken place, everyone knew who their opponent would be tomorrow.

In order to ensure that Qingzong's team cannot get as many points in tomorrow's team competition.

Therefore, they handed over all the pills, magic treasures, and magical artifacts that could secretly enhance their strength to the sect that would be competing against Qingzong in the team competition the next day.

When the team competition started on the second day, Xiao Feng still did not make a move.

Taking action myself would be seen as bullying the weak.

After all, his cultivation level refreshed this morning, directly reaching the late stage of the fifth rank.

Xiao Feng really wanted to sigh, "How lonely it is to be invincible!"

At least among the disciples participating in this competition, he is undoubtedly invincible.

Xiao Feng then had several other disciples around him compete against them.

The opponent wasn't a particularly powerful sect, and Xiao Feng didn't remember their name, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, in this team battle, they were directly besieged by several other sects.

This time, it's a team battle in a secret realm.

So even though they had already been assigned opponents, they deliberately chose battlegrounds very close to those of Qingzong and their opponents.

They used this opportunity to subtly influence the situation on the Qingzong side.

The Azure Sect is essentially a one-to-many relationship.

Despite the fact that Xuantian Sect tried its best to help.

However, there is currently no way to assist the disciples of the Azure Sect while ensuring their own score.

Ultimately, they were the third to appear in this round.

Fortunately, the Xuantian Sect quickly dealt with their opponents and then avenged the Qing Sect.

They also took care of their original rivals in the process.

Seeing that the group accounted for too few points, some people around felt guilty.

The teammates who went to participate in this team battle with him felt that it was because their strength was too weak.

This actually lowered their overall score ranking.

"Why do you all look so gloomy?" Xiao Feng hadn't noticed before.

After all, in his view, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and no one can guarantee that they will always win.

No one believes they will always lose.

Just relax and have a calm mindset, but obviously not everyone can do that.

For example, these poor junior brothers and sisters are now secretly blaming themselves.

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's voice, the group looked up at him.

Seeing that one or two of them had red eyes, Xiao Feng immediately comforted them, "Don't you feel like we're being targeted? Those who are targeted are usually the most powerful, the ones they fear the most!"

"It seems that our good results in the preliminary round have given them a good slap in the face. Thinking about it from another perspective, this is just another kind of 'the heavens are jealous of talent'!"

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, everyone felt that it made some sense.

After being appeased by Xiao Feng, they began to prepare for their personal defense battle.

This is essentially a war of attrition, with no fixed opponent.

Each person will choose a ring to defend.

Alternatively, after defending their own ring, they can directly challenge other people.

This is the perfect opportunity to settle old scores and avenge wrongs.

"Everyone brought enough pills for today's individual defense battle, right? Don't worry about it. If you run out, just ask me for some. I have plenty more."

"If we encounter a fight that's all about mutual destruction, we don't need to get bogged down in battle. If we can't hold our ground, we'll just go and challenge someone else's ring. No matter what our ranking is, our personal safety is the most important thing!"

"However, you probably won't need to play. Leave this to me for now. If I can't handle it, then I'll have to rely on you guys."

Xiao Feng patiently gave instructions to everyone. This time, the first person from their Qing Sect to go on stage was no longer one of the other junior brothers and sisters he wanted to train.

It was Xiao Feng himself!

After waiting for so long, it's time to let them see their skills again!

The preliminary rounds were almost over before Xiao Feng even got a chance to play because of problems with the Flame Sect.

Xiao Feng only had time to fight twice, and didn't even have a chance to properly show off his skills.

Now he could show them that the person they had always mocked was far more powerful than them.

"Senior brother, you're going to be on stage this time?!" All the junior brothers and sisters who came over looked at Xiao Feng expectantly.

Xiao Feng nodded, looking at the two of them who were looking at him with expectant eyes.

I know they want me to stand up for them.

When the battle began, Xiao Feng went directly to the arena belonging to their Qing Sect.

Sure enough, the largest number of people were waiting in front of me.

I really hope they won't regret it later.

Xiao Feng didn't expend much energy fighting the previous few people; he simply kicked each of them once.

And they were all kicks aimed at the face.

He is a very petty and vengeful person.

He remembered perfectly who had targeted them in the secret realm before.

He will exact revenge on all those who attacked them today, as long as they dare to come near him.

However, after fighting several people in succession, Xiao Feng realized that they wanted to exhaust his strength.

However, the other party's methods were indeed shameless and despicable, forcing Xiao Feng to make a move.

In the end, they actually did manage to expend quite a bit of their energy.

As the eighth fighter stepped onto the stage, Xiao Feng's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

He's an old rival, one of the disciples of the Flame Sect, named Huo Lie.

"It's you again. It seems they were preparing for you all along!" Everyone could see the unfairness on the Qingzong arena.

But no one said anything.

They were indeed surprised by Xiao Feng's strength, but now that Huo Lie has entered the fray, Xiao Feng should be defeated.

However, no one expected that, in the unexpected turn of events, Xiao Feng would actually gain some insights during his confrontation with Huo Lie!

His technique then immediately advanced to the peak of the fourth rank, and he pinned Huo Lie to the ground and beat him mercilessly.
