The next day.
The second round of the Blue Wind Tournament started. The remaining 300 contestants from the preliminary would fight today and reduce the overall number to 32.
Yes, only slightly over 10% would enter the final tournament.
As everyone expected, Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue were 'immediately' seeded in the final tournament. After all, it would give other youths a better chance and speed up the second round's process.
So 298 youths are going to fight for the top 30 spots.
Yu Long arrived at the Sword Discourse Arena with his soon-to-be wives and maids, gaining everyone's attention. He ignored them and took the spacious seat at the back of the audience.
Ling Wuguo arrived at the main arena again and proceeded the fight with yesterday's format. There would be four arenas still, but this time, only the cream of the top would fight against each other.
"Arena C, No.13 vs No.560."
"Good luck." Yu Long said to Fen Juechen.
Fen Juechen halted his step before nodding at Yu Long. He breathed in and jumped to the Arena C, watching his opponent.
Fen Juechen's opponent is a young woman in a tight blue robe. Her name is Jun Miaomiao, and she comes from the Earthen Spear School. She is 19 and at the 10th Level of Spirit Profound Realm.
Ling Wuguo stared at the Arena C and announced, "Fight!"
Fen Juechen furrowed his brows and quickly coated his fist with intense red flame. He stomped the ground and flew toward his opponent, leaving a trail of flame.
Jun Miaomiao summoned a refined alloy spear from her spatial ring and pointed it at Fen Juechen.
She waved her spear and shouted, "Earthen Spear School's Classic - Hop in Basket."
Fen Juechen pulled his right fist and released a mighty punch, igniting his profound energy rapidly.
BOOM!
Dust and rubble flew everywhere but to Fen Juechen's surprise. Jun Miaomiao survived his punch.
'Hmm, what happened?' Fen Juechen thought with a frown.
Jun Miaomiao remained in her position with a spear above her chest and commented calmly, "That was dangerous. You're strong, very strong, but you lack control."
"I don't know who taught you, but you don't seem to realize the essence of your training. I'm just a peak Spirit Profound Realm, but I'm not afraid of your Earth Profound Realm's cultivation."
Yu Long stared at Fen Juechen and smirked, "Now, let's see how you handle this kind of opponent."
He and his companions could see how the girl repelled Fen Juechen's attack. It was the basis of spearplay, dispersing incoming force with a specific movement.
In short, the girl's mastery is the nemesis of Fen Juchen's foundation in the last thirteen days.
Cang Yue taught One Punch Man's training and a set of abnormal boxing stances to Fen Juechen and Sikong Du. However, neither of them grasped the power behind each stance.
'It's like teaching a witless cat.' Cang Yue sighed inwardly.
She knew Fen Juechen was a decently witty fellow, yet he was rigid when comprehending things. She's not his mom, so he has to figure things out himself.
Same goes for Sikong Du.
Yu Long chuckled at Cang Yue's complex look and said, "Don't look so down. Fen Juechen might surprise once or twice in this tournament."
Fen Juechen returned to his seat and sighed, feeling his blood boil from that fight. He felt like he could achieve a breakthrough in something.
"That wasn't bad." Yu Long commented casually. "Keep up the good work, and you will be able to become top 10% sooner or later."
Fen Juechen's eyes widened in surprise as he didn't expect Yu Long to praise him.
"That wasn't praise, by the way. You must enter the top 5% to join the Lost Heaven Sect." Yu Long shattered Fen Juechen's dream like it was a prawn cracker.
"..." Fen Juechen's mouth twitched slightly.
"Okay, I will keep that in mind."
The tournament continued, and Fen Juechen's fight caused the atmosphere to become hotter.
The remaining contestants tried their best, pushing their limits.
Some are close to losing their limbs, but Ling Wuguo stopped any incident from happening.
Besides Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue, the rest of the thirty contestants in the final tournament weren't that bad.
That includes Fen Juechen and Sikong Du from the Blue Wind Imperial Family's Team.
Ling Yun and Ling Jie from the Heavenly Sword Villa.
Shui Wushuang, Wu Xuexin, and Jing Jing from the Frozen Cloud Asgard.
The rest are disciples or descendants of 1st Class Sect/Clan in the Blue Wind Empire.
And with that, the second round comes to an end.
...
In the middle of the night, Yu Long returned to the Sword Management Terrace after keeping his girls happy. They become so needy all of a sudden.
He summoned Yume and told her to erect a barrier around the area.
Meanwhile, he's going to meet Yun Canghai again.
As Yu Long entered the array formation, he was 'awkwardly' greeted by a depressed Yun Canghai.
"Woah, what's the matter, Demon King~?" He asked with a teasing tone.
Yun Canghai growl, "Scram!"
"Don't call me Demon King, you monster!"
Yu Long shrugged and replied, "Fine, I will call you Yun Canghai instead."
"So wanna hear me out now?"
"I'm not interested..." Yun Canghai turned his back on Yu Long.
"You know I can summon Muzan again, right?" Yu Long chuckled playfully.
Yun Canghai's body trembled as he recalled his unpleasant memory last night. "H-Hmph, I'm still not interested!" He stubbornly said, but his body is honest.
Yu Long rubbed his chin and dropped a bait, "I have a wine."
"A good wine, something that quenches your century-long thirst."
"Tsk, I'm in!" Yun Canghai turned around immediately.
'So easy.' Yu Long thought.
