"The first round is over!"

"Please assemble the winners of each group!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the high priest of Tianshi Mansion, all the winners entered the first venue.

The old Taoist priest stood on the platform with a smile on his face, with the red lottery box next to him.

"Congratulations, everyone. Being able to stand here means that you have entered the top 32 of this conference. The next match will be conducted in a one-on-one format. Winners, please come forward and draw lots!"

As the old Taoist priest spoke with a smile, everyone stepped forward to draw lots with anticipation on their faces.

This round of drawing lots uses the method of drawing opponents. Only the first sixteen people who won the first prize were eligible to draw lots. The names of the remaining sixteen people were written on pieces of paper for the first sixteen people to draw.

Due to the competition rounds, Li Yun from Bing Lugui was the seventeenth person and therefore was not eligible to draw lots.

Zuo Yu started the competition later than him, so naturally he was not eligible to draw lots.

The two could only watch from the sidelines, waiting for the 'lucky one' to draw their own number.

Zhang Chulan prayed in his heart that he would not encounter an opponent who was too strong, then gritted his teeth and pulled back.

"... Tang Wenlong?"

Looking at the name on the note, Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief.

I just hope they aren’t the ones he thinks are the most difficult to deal with!

Then, Zhang Chulan approached Feng Baobao and asked curiously, "Sister Baoer, who is your opponent?"

"Xiao Xiao." Feng Baobao showed the note to Zhang Chulan and explained, "He's the one from Deyun Club."

"..." Feng Xingtong twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "Sister Baoer, Xiao Xiao is not from Deyun Club. I just said that he dressed like a crosstalk performer. This is a metaphor."

Just then, Feng Shayan, wearing tight sportswear, came over.

Feng Xingtong quickly came over and asked, "Sister, who did you pick?"

Feng Shayan looked a little unhappy and handed the note in her hand to Feng Xingtong.

Feng Xingtong quickly took the note and saw two big words written on it - Zuo Yu.

"Ah, it's that guy!" Feng Xingtong's eyes widened, and she said with a look of disappointment, "Oh no, oh no, this time you're going to be eliminated too. There were only two of us in the Tianxia Club participating in the competition, but we were all eliminated after two rounds. If I tell anyone about this, Dad will be embarrassed!"

"Bang!"

Feng Shayan punched her brother on the head and said with a dark face, "You little brat, the game hasn't even started yet, are you really hoping that your sister will lose? That guy is very powerful, but I am not without a chance of winning."

Feng Xingtong covered his head and retorted: "Then tell me where the chances of winning are!"

Feng Shayan was speechless for a moment, and raised her fist in anger, scaring Feng Xingtong so much that he hid behind Zhang Chulan.

"snort!"

Feng Shayan snorted and turned to walk out of the venue.

Feng Xingtong blinked and asked quickly, "Sister, where are you going?"

Feng Shayan said without even turning her head: "Go and see if Shan Shitong is awake, and ask for information about that guy."

On the other side, Zuo Yu and Li Yun stood on the podium in the audience seats, chatting while looking at the contestants below.

After the draw results came out, the two of them walked to the notice board together and frowned slightly when they looked at the schedule list.

They discovered that, except for the two of them, all the aliens participating in the competition were characters who had appeared in the original novel, and there were no suspected time travelers at all.

"What's going on?"

"Is there no fellow countryman in this world, or did he not come to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony at all?"

"It's all possible." Li Yun frowned and guessed, "Of course, it's also possible that he traveled through time and space and became a character in the plot, but he disguised himself very well and was not discovered by us."

“But why did he have to disguise himself?” Zuo Yu asked in confusion. “Let’s take a step back. Even if he didn’t want to recognize us, he would have secretly observed us after discovering our identities. But I didn’t notice any unusual prying. If there was any, it was just normal admiration for the dark horse contestant…”

As he was talking, Zuo Yu suddenly had a guess, so he said with a strange look on his face: "Old Li, do you think it is possible that this guy doesn't know the plot at all?"

“…”

Li Yun was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at each other with Zuo Yu.

"It's really possible. If that's the case, then aren't we just flirting with a blind man?"

“…Forget it, let’s just take it one step at a time!”

Zuo Yu shook his head helplessly and walked out of the venue with Li Yun.

Just then, a fat man wearing glasses and a pink plaid shirt came over with a tablet in his hand. He stopped in front of the two men with a big smile on his face and said, "Two brothers, can I interview you for a minute?"

Zuo Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the fat man in front of him with interest.

If he remembered correctly, the fat guy's name was Canglong. He was quite powerful and could force Zhang Lingyu to use thunder magic. But compared to his strength, this guy was more famous for intelligence gathering.

I heard that he had specially collected information on the contestants for this conference, and opened a betting odds for this Luotian Dajiao on the Encyclopedia of Extraordinary People website he created. Many extraordinary people flocked in upon hearing the news and bet their savings on the contestants they favored.

Speaking of this, we have to mention that in order to better manage the aliens from all over the country, the official has specially set up an internal network for the alien world, exclusively for the aliens to use.

Previous news about Zhang Chulan and the origin of Qi body was spread rapidly through this internal network.

The alien encyclopedia website created by Zanglong is also in this internal network and cannot be searched on the outside Internet.

Hearing Zang Long's request, Li Yun decisively refused: "Sorry, I don't have time."

Canglong hurriedly followed: "No, brothers, the next round of competition will not start until tomorrow. You two brothers have nothing to do tonight, so why not accept my interview? To show your sincerity, I can tell you the information of other players - and I have opened a handicap on this website I created to collect information about extraordinary people. Are you interested in betting?"

Li Yun was about to refuse when Zuo Yu snatched the tablet from his hand and started swiping it with interest.

"This is the handicap of the conference, quite interesting, let me take a look!"

"Well, Zhang Chulan's odds are 1 to 100, Lao Li's and my odds are both 1 to 2, and the odds of Ling Yu Zhenren from Tianshi Mansion and Zhuge Qing from Wuhou Sect are 1 to 1..."

Zuo Yu paused, glanced at Canglong and said, "Why, do you think we brothers can't beat them?"

“How could that be possible!” Canglong complained immediately, “Those who bet on the odds all think so - after all, the two big brothers were not well-known before, and no one knows how strong you are. But if you two accept my interview, I will include the information I get from the interview on the website, and maybe you two will become the favorites to win tomorrow!”

Zanglong tried to persuade Zuo Yu while the iron was hot, but Zuo Yu refused to accept it at all.

He came up to Li Yun with a tablet, pointed at Jia Zhengliang's name on it and said with a smile: "Old Li, the odds for Jia Zhengliang are also one to one. He is your next opponent. The odds for your game tomorrow are as high as ten to one!"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder so many people like to open the market, what's the difference between this and picking up money?"

Seeing Zuo Yu speak so easily, Cang Long was dissatisfied and could not help but said, "This Jia Zhengliang is no pushover. He is the biggest dark horse in this competition. He masters the running palm and the art of controlling objects from the Jia Village in the west."

"Especially the latter. In this competition, he took out twelve Immortal Slaying Flying Knives. The number of his controlled items is four times that of his famous brother Jia Zhengyu!"

The so-called art of controlling objects is one of the abilities that most interests Zuo Yu and Li Yun in the world of Under One Person.

Those who practice the art of controlling objects need to learn the secret technique from a very young age and use their own Qi to feed specific objects. In the end, these objects will become weapons that the practitioners can control at will.

People like Xu San who are born with telekinetic powers can also manipulate objects, and there is no limit to the types, but their manipulation accuracy is far less than that of weapons powered by object control. If telekinetic users spend energy to move objects, then object controllers can operate weapons as flexibly and easily as using their own fingers.

In ancient times, those who were witnessed by ordinary people as controllers of objects had a familiar nickname - Sword Immortals!

“Twelve Immortal Slaying Flying Knives…” Zuo Yu curled his lips and said, “He may be young, but he has a big mouth. Old Li, I’ll leave this kid to you. Teach him a lesson for me!”

As he spoke, Zuo Yu turned to look at Zang Long and took out a wad of cash with a serious expression.

"This is all the cash I have on me. Please help me put it all on Lao Li. Thank you very much!"

“…”

Li Yun glanced at Zuo Yu speechlessly, knowing that this guy's bad taste had erupted again.

Canglong frowned tightly, as if he noticed the contempt of the two brothers in front of him towards other contestants.

"Aren't you two brothers too arrogant?"

"Arrogance, no no no, this is the confidence of the strong in their own strength."

Zuo Yu said seriously: "Little Fatty, let me tell you something. A person with a strong mentality is not necessarily a strong person, but without a strong mentality, one can never become a truly strong person!"

"Don't mention that Jia Zhengliang is only controlling twelve Immortal Slaying Flying Knives. Even if he is controlling twelve Immortal Slaying Machine Guns, I will still bet on Lao Li for this money!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and help me get on top!"

Canglong took the stack of cash handed to him by Zuo Yu with a frown on his face, and found that this mysterious master who appeared out of nowhere seemed to be a funny guy with a quirky personality.

Compared with him, the guy next to him named Li Yun is obviously more calm and more like a hot dark horse with the potential to win the championship.
