Chapter 386 - But You Must Treat Me to a Meal (1/2)

Both the matches in the first round were already over. A short while later, the crowd began to leave the arena. After recuperating for three days, Nan Xia Country, Dong Xing Country, and last year’s champion, Shang Yuan Country, would go through the second round of drawing lots. Whoever was lucky would get to draw a bye and proceeddirectly to the finals.

No one knew who would be lucky enough to draw a bye, and who would be competing with Shang Yuan Country in the next match. Everyone was full of excitement as they discussed the possibilities.

The results for both matches today were far beyond the people’s expectations. Nan Xia Country had gained victory through a torturous match and became the greatest dark horse of the compet.i.tion, while Dong Xing Country had easily defeated their rival with a perfect win. They had showed extraordinary cultivation. Who would be the champion in the end? Even the seasoned spectators who had seen a lifetime of compet.i.tions could not guess.

Ling Chuxi did not think about it any further. Once she returned to the posthouse, she immediately went to check on Baili Han’s wounds.

“How bad are his wounds?” The envoy asked worriedly.

“They’re not that serious. Apply the medicine and let him rest, and he should be fine. However, he definitely cannot partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tions later on.” Ling Chuxi took out a bottle of medicine and pa.s.sed it to Baili Han.

Baili Han’s understanding of the realm of Great Fulfilment and his usage of Battle Qi was unique in its own way. The defense of his flawless swordplay was so good that even after enduring such a heavy blow, his meridians and bones were uninjured. If it were other experts of the Great Fulfilment, they might have already become cripples and would not have been able to cultivate for the rest of their lives.

“Ah!” The envoy’s eyes widened. If Baili Han could not partic.i.p.ate, there would only be both Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen left for the compet.i.tions later on.

Baili Han’s shoulders slumped, but he had expected as much.

“Rest a.s.sured, we will still fight. Even if there was only one of us remaining, we would still be the champion,” Ling Yichen said to Baili Han firmly.

“Yes.” Baili Han gripped Ling Yichen’s hand tightly.

“Oh, one thing. When we return, please do not tell Xinyu about what happened. I do not want her to be worried,” Baili Han said awkwardly.
