382 Xiaoyou VS Qin Kui (2/2)
Qin Xiaoyou's first match was very successful. She won the first round and successfully made it into the top eight.
In the following round of eight matches, a balloting system was used to decide how to match the opponents. They were split into four pairs, and the winner from each pair would proceed to the top four, with the chance to fight for one of the top three positions.
As for the people who got eliminated, they would only be able to fight for the fourth, fifth, sixth and other remaining positions. Among the top eight, the competition could be said to be dominated by two people ultimately. These two people, of course, hailed from the top aristocratic family.
However, the Qin Clan was not too bad, as they had two contestants who were able to maintain their positions in the top eight and were comparable to the Bi Clan. As for the other four contestants, there was one from the Wang Clan, who was a youth called Wang Jingxian. His cultivation was at least of the peak of the Sea of Qi realm. He appeared to be the elder brother of Wang Xiaofei and Wang Jingmin.
Other than that, there were another two, who were not from the top aristocratic families. Their abilities were rather good, and they were known as being outstanding people of the capital ancient martial art scene's younger generation.
In the middle of the square, there were four fighting rings that had been combined into one huge fighting ring. Thus, it was clear how much importance was placed upon the round of eight battles.
The first to appear was the Wang Clan's Wang Jingxian and his opponent, a youth from the Lu Clan. The two of them had been matched as opponents during the drawing of lots.
”Your luck is rather good, as you didn't get chosen to battle with any of the stronger opponents. Although that Qin Kui is someone from the Qin Clan, there is a big gap between him and Qin Qiao. So, he should not be able to beat you.” Huo Changxing looked at Qin Xiaoyou, who was just coming back down from the fighting ring.
Drawing of lots to decide on one's opponent depended on one's luck entirely. If one had bad luck and drew a strong opponent, they could be immediately eliminated.
Qin Xiaoyou's first match was set to be against the Qin Clan's Qin Kui, not Qin Qiao. That was a very fortunate outcome. If it had been Qin Qiao, she would very likely have been defeated right away, not even having the chance to proceed to the top four.
”That's right! But, against the people of the Qin Caln, Xiaoyou will definitely not hold back.” Qin Xiaoyou said with a smile.
In truth, she had hoped to be pitted against the people of the Qin Clan, so that she could defeat them one by one. The people of the Qin Clan were cold and ruthless, after all.
Wang Jingxian did not fall short of his reputation as the Wang Clan's top talent. Not only did he have the peak of the Sea of Qi realm, he also had an exceptional aura when he attacked. That youth from the Lu Clan had only persevered for half a minute in the fighting ring before he was defeated.
Wang Jingxian and Meng Guo were the top candidates who were vying for the third position. However, now that Meng Guo had been eliminated in the round of ten, it was very possible that Wang Jingxian would easily attain the third position.
The second match was a little funny, as it was the Bi Clan against the Bi Clan! The two youths from the Bi Clan had been matched during the drawing of lots. It had thus become an internal competition for the Bi Clan, which had caused a lot of amazement and amusement.
Hence, the second battle was naturally very simple. One of the youths of the Bi Clan simply admitted defeat. The other one won without their even having the battle!
The one who won was naturally the top talent of the Bi Clan, Bi Fengdi. At a young age, he had already achieved the Qi Nucleation realm. He was then deemed the top talent of the entire capital.
However, he now had a competitor, the Qin Clan's talent, Qin Qiao, who had also broken through into the Qi Nucleation realm. The two of them were the ones who had been identified as the favorites in the fight for the title in this competition.
The third round was finally Qin Xiaoyou's turn to battle. Her opponent was Qin Kui from the Qin Clan.
Qin Xiaoyou walked into the ring. Her body was as light as a feather and she flew up in a moment, then landed gently in the fighting ring. On the other side, a youth whose face had knife scars had also taken huge strides into the fighting ring.
”My name is Qin Kui. You are very pretty. However, I will still have to kill you.” That youth planted himself 50 meters away from Qin Xiaoyou. In his hand was a Tang Dagger.
This youth was rather young, but he had a cold and lifeless aura about him. That Tang Dagger still had blood stains on it, as if he had killed quite a number of people recently!
His aura alone was enough to scare a lot of people till their legs turned to jelly. It was no wonder that he could make it into the top eight, as he was really extraordinary!
Qin Kui was a renowned talent of the Qin Clan, so many people knew of him. He was known to ruthless and to not hold back. Hence, he had offended quite a number of people.
However, there was no doubt that he was very powerful. Although he was only of the later stage of the Sea of Qi realm, he was like a fierce tiger during battles. He was brutal and very skilful, such that some ancient martial art practitioners with the peak of the Sea of Qi realm may not even be matches for him!
His current intention was to kill that beauty in the fighting ring. Normally, he could not bear to kill such a beautiful being. However, the Qin Clan wanted to kill this woman, so he had no choice.
This was because he wanted to prove himself. Whatever that Qin Qiao could do, he was determined to be able to as well. In fact, he would even execute it better!
Moreover, if he was given sufficient time, he would even be able to break through into the Qi Nucleation realm. He, Qin Kui, would not be inferior to that Qin Qiao!
