The first round of the competition quickly came to an end.
Next came the second round of the draw, which took place the following day: the competition to narrow down the field from 32 to 16.
The moment he saw his opponent's name, Lu Renjia couldn't help but laugh.
"Jia Zhengyu? Is he really that unlucky? Otherwise, with his strength, he could definitely make it to the top 16."
After saying that, he looked up at Jia Zhengyu, who looked utterly hopeless.
Seeing this, Xu Si took a breath and said, "Jia Zhengyu, you should just forfeit. I think you don't want to fight him either."
Jia Zhengyu nodded blankly, then said with a hint of tears in his eyes, "I originally wanted to prove myself at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, but I didn't expect my luck to be so bad!"
Others might not know Lu Renjia's true strength, but he did.
They should take this opportunity to rest, since they came to Longhu Mountain not just to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
After the draw, it was free time to explore.
As soon as it got dark, a group of people approached Lu Renjia.
"Hey, you surnamed Lu, my master wants to see you. Don't be ungrateful, or you'll regret it."
The visitor was just a nameless little Karami from the Wang family, but Wang Ai was so eager to see him.
Lu Renjia glanced at him indifferently, and the man instantly felt as if a thousand pounds of weight had been placed on his body.
Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder.
"I don't like being ordered around, and I especially don't like being threatened. Remember, I'm not killing you because I'm afraid of your retaliation, but because I'm giving face to the Old Master."
Lu Renjia's voice was cold, and the man broke out in a sweat upon hearing it.
The next moment, the man felt his body sink and his knees slammed heavily into the ground.
The sudden loss of sensation in his legs and the excruciating pain contorted his face.
Just as he was about to scream, Lu Renjia kicked his jaw so hard it shattered, leaving him unable to make a sound, only able to whimper.
"While I said I wouldn't kill you, that doesn't mean I won't cripple you. Crawl back with your bare hands and tell Wang Ai not to think I don't know what he's thinking!"
Lu Renjia had absolutely no goodwill towards the Wang family.
If Wang Ai wants to see me, then let him come to see me in person, instead of me having to trample on him.
Others may fear your Wang family, but I, Lu Renjia, am not.
If you resort to underhanded tactics like Feng Zhenghao, I wouldn't mind making you spend your whole life in pain.
Thinking of this, Lu Renjia glanced disdainfully at the location where Wang Ai was temporarily staying in Longhu Mountain.
He ignored the Wang family member in front of him and left.
However, something interesting happened that night. Feng Baobao paid the bill for Shi Tong, and then she and Zhang Chulan spent the whole night together.
Wang Ai was furious when she learned of Lu Renjia's attitude and vowed to make Lu Renjia pay the price.
Wang Bing devoured several powerful spirits and successfully recovered.
After hearing his grandfather's words, he wanted to deal with Lu Renjia.
They wanted to see if Lu Renjia had the ability to control the spirit-binding and commanding forces, proving that the Wang family's spirit-binding and commanding forces were incomparable to the Feng family's.
That's all that happened tonight, and Lu Renjia took it all in.
The next day, the competition to narrow down the field from 32 to 16 officially began.
The match between Lu Renjia and Jia Zhengyu was the third and also a very interesting one.
However, no one expected this.
Jia Zhengyu conceded defeat as soon as he entered the game, and Lu Renjia advanced to the round of 16 without any resistance.
The audience thought this was outrageous enough, but what they didn't expect was Zhang Chulan's confrontation with Shan Shitong next.
Shan Shitong didn't even show up for the match, and Zhang Chulan advanced directly to the top 16.
Based on the first round of the competition, Zhang Chulan earned the nickname "Shameless".
But today's surprising match is Jia Zhengliang from Jiajia Village versus Feng Shayan from Tianxia Society.
Jia Zhengliang is Jia Zhengyu's younger brother. After Jia Zhengyu joined the company, he told him what had happened.
He was very angry about this.
So he came to Longhu Mountain to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, wanting to humiliate the Tianxia Society.
"You're from the World Society, right? My brother received a lot of attention from you guys recently!"
"Although he's an unreliable person, your desire to kill him is going too far!"
Jia Zhengliang took this match very seriously, and his mother even hung up the phone for the first time ever, telling him to focus on dealing with the sand swallows.
After all, her son was almost killed; how could she, as a mother, not be moved?
In the audience, someone recognized Jia Zhengliang and exclaimed in surprise.
"That's Jia Zhengliang from Jiajia Village. I didn't expect both of them to come to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony."
"Jia Zhengyu conceded defeat before even starting the last match, and we didn't even see the Dragon-Piercing Cone. I wonder how Jia Zhengliang's weapon compares to Jia Zhengyu's!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Si, who was standing next to Jia Zhengyu, asked curiously, "Jia Zhengyu, how does your brother's weapon compare to yours? Judging from his expression, it seems like he wants to stand up for you."
Despite experiencing all of this, Jia Zhengyu didn't feel ashamed of being weaker than his younger brother.
He said frankly, "My brother's martial arts skills are no match for mine, but when it comes to manipulating objects, he's miles ahead of me."
"Wow, then the number of objects he can control will surpass yours!"
"Of course, it's fine to tell you. My brother can control 12 Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives."
When talking about the 12 Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives, Jia Zhengyu was incredibly proud.
Xu Si was also surprised, after all, the more magical artifacts one possessed, the more powerful one became.
Jia Zhengliang's talent for manipulating objects is indeed far superior to Jia Zhengyu's.
"Hey, how about we get your brother involved in the company too?"
Now that Jia Zhengyu is considered one of their own, Xu Si doesn't mind if his side becomes even stronger.
Jia Zhengyu rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, my younger brother can't live without my mom."
"Damn, what a mama's boy!"
Xu Si gave up so easily; such a person was destined to be beyond his control.
Lu Renjia ignored the surrounding noise; the winner of this match would be his opponent tomorrow.
"Both sides have arrived; the competition begins!"
With the referee's whistle, the battle between Feng Shayan and Jia Zhengliang officially began.
The game had barely begun when the sand swallows launched their attack.
She threw a punch forward, and the fist suddenly appeared in front of Jia Zhengliang, hitting him hard in the face.
Jia Zhengliang was unaware of Feng Shayan's special abilities and was at a disadvantage from the start.
Feng Zhenghao's original intention in holding this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was to establish his authority.
However, because Lu Renjia and Feng Xingtong lost their battle yesterday, Feng Shayan must win today.
Feng Shayan's attacks were extremely ruthless, with each move aimed at Jia Zhengliang's throat, eyes, and other vital areas.
"boom!"
Jia Zhengliang was hit in the throat and coughed up blood.
Since the Tianxia Society and the Jia family have a grudge, Feng Zhenghao will have Feng Shayan cripple Jia Zhengliang, this genius, at the Luotian Grand Ceremony.
However, a throwing knife suddenly grazed Feng Shayan's cheek, drawing a line of blood.
"Cough cough, that was ruthless! Like father, like daughter. I won't hold back either!"
In an instant, he threw the remaining 11 Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives from his back, attacking the Sand Swallow.
However, the Sand Swallow's special ability somewhat restrained its ability to control objects, and even though Jia Zhengliang used all his strength to drive the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, he was unable to achieve final victory.
Because the sand swift can bridge space within her Qi range and can freely set up exits in areas covered by Qi.
It must be said that the Sand Swallow's special ability is somewhat effective against flying objects, including bullets.
Lu Renjia didn't believe that his matchup with Feng Shayan in the round of 16 was a coincidence; Feng Zhenghao had more or less made some moves.
"Hmph, you don't really think my confidence comes from guns, do you? If you could guess that easily, I wouldn't be in this business!"
Now that he had identified his opponent, Lu Renjia didn't bother watching any other matches.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be the same few people who advance.
However, no sooner had he left the audience than four burly men quietly followed him.
"Is he the person the acting sect leader was talking about? He's quite strong. Should we turn him into the next Hu Jie?"
