C12 The Second Round

Second round.

The young man's face turned pale. Ye Feng's sharp words seemed to hit his head that he spat out another mouthful of blood before fainting on the spot.

The rest of the men from the Chen family had cold expressions on their faces as they fixed their gaze on Ye Feng.

As one of the elders in charge of the Tian Ji Hall, Chen Xiangtian's facial expression became extremely huffish.

It took a moment for the other three young men from the Chen family to react. They gritted their teeth in anger, emitting faint killing intent.

"You dare to hurt him?" one of them roared.

Ye Feng sneered, "He provoked me first and then attacked me. I just fought back. He's clearly useless, yet I'm the one at fault. Is this a practice from the Chen family?"

"You..."

For a moment, the men were speechless. Their faces were ashen.

Somehow, Ye Feng was right, and the men could only agree in silence. The Chen family had provoked him. Should he bear the humiliation and not resist?

"Look. If you want to fight, then do it. If not, then get lost!"

Ye Feng's voice was cold and serious. After all, he would be wasting time talking nonsense with them.

"What a frivolous young man. He is clearly looking down on those three men from the Chen family."

The crowd was stupefied. No one in the Imperial City had ever dared to provoke the Chen family in public.

One of the three men stepped forward. The aura on his body was much stronger than the one Ye Feng knocked out earlier.

"Don't be so arrogant just because you defeated him!"

His eyes looked sharp. He then threw a powerful punch at Ye Feng that could shake the grounds.

But at the same time, Ye Feng threw a punch at him. Their fists collided in their air and exploded. The sound was deafening.

As the smoke slowly cleared, the crowd suddenly heard the wailing voice of the young man in pain. It seemed that his arm was crushed!

"What a powerful strength! He can easily crush the people of the Chen family!"

The crowd's hearts were pounding as they watched. They couldn't remain calm at all.

Clenched jaws and bulging eyes. These were the expressions of the people from the Chen family as they watched on the grandstand. Ye Feng humiliated the young man and even crushed him, causing the Chen family to lose their faces.

Chen Xiangtian stood up in horror. There was a glimmer of cold light in his eyes. In his heart, he had already hated Ye Feng.

Ye Feng ignored the hostile gazes from the Chen family. He stared deeply at the young man and said in a cold voice,

"Your time is up!"

Without waiting for a response, he turned his attention to the remaining young men from the Chen family.

Truthfully, he didn't want any trouble. However, since they had provoked him first, he had to teach them a lesson.

No matter who they were, if they offended him, they had to pay the price!

This time, Ye Feng didn't dawdle anymore. He attacked the two young men from the Chen family.

In just a matter of minutes, he defeated them. One could only imagine the result.

The people of the Chen family couldn't sit still anymore. Chen Aotian grimaced silently.

A few young men from the Chen family clamored to teach Ye Feng a lesson, but he ignored them.

The phoenix shadow on Nangong Lingshuang's back was mesmerizing. She glared at Ye Feng with a pair of cold eyes.

"Now you've really angered me,"

Nangong Lingshuang's voice was deep and cold. The Phoenix battle spirit behind her released waves of pressure. Ye Feng instantly felt the pressure.

Ye Feng snickered as he stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was the same as usual. He did not seem to mind Nangong Lingshuang's coercive pressure at all.

"Do you know how foolish you are? Your actions could eliminate you,"

Nangong Lingshuang stated arrogantly like a proud princess.

She scoffed at him, then added, "But don't worry. I'm letting you off this time. However, we'll see each other in the next round. I will make sure you'd understand our difference. You will definitely regret your actions!"

Then she turned around and left without waiting for his reaction.

In her eyes, Ye Feng was just a nobody.

"I will wait for you,"

Ye Feng muttered under his breath as he watched her back. He had been cleansed by the green dew drops, making his body perfect. He had also awakened the Green Rank Divine Dragon Battle Spirit. What else could differ him from her?

The examination continued at a chaotic pace. Violent attacks filled the platform, and the sound of collisions and miserable cries seemed endless. As time passed, the number of eliminated warriors grew.

In the game where the strong prey on the weak, only those who possessed absolute strength could remain, and the weak were destined to be eliminated.

Ye Feng's previous actions resulted in many people not provoking him. The powerful geniuses didn't have any intention of clashing with him for the time being.

Everything came to a stop when a warrior was knocked off the fighting stage. It was then when exactly three thousand people left on the fighting stage.

"The first round of the examination has ended."

Someone indicated the end of the first round. At that moment, the remaining people on the fighting stage would automatically advance to the next round.

"In the next round of assessment, you will compete against your own attack and defense. The weak will be eliminated."

The Tianxuan Mansion's Elder said as he looked at the crowd below.

"The second round of the examination, the Mirror Screen, begins!"

A beam of light instantaneously shone on the fighting stage and transformed into a huge Mirror Screen. It emitted a faint luster as mysterious markings surged on it. It was a gorgeous sight to behold.

"Your cultivation base will be suppressed in the fifth stage of Body Refining Stage. To eliminate your opponents, you will have to attack the mirror screen. The screen will mirror your attack towards your opponents, kicking them off the stage. This attack is called the Counterattack. Of course, under the rebound force of the Mirror Screen, the attacker will also suffer the corresponding damage. It is expected that in this round, only 100 people will survive and enter the Tianxuan Hall to learn and cultivate. Meaning 2,900 of you will be eliminated. I look forward to seeing who will stay until the end."

There was a glimmer of sharp light in the Elder's eyes as he spoke slowly.

At the end of his speech, the crowd turned serious.

Compared to the first round, the second round of the examination seemed to be much crueler. With the elimination rate increased, it was an extremely great test for the examinees to show their strength.

"I will work hard!"

Someone from the fighting stage timidly spoke. He had an intense obsession in his eyes. Under such cruel rules, every single one of them had to do their best.

Nangong Lingshuang held her head high like a noble princess. Regarding the second round of the examination, she did not care about anything. She was extremely proud of herself and believed that she would be able to advance smoothly.

"You better be ready. I'll teach you a lesson in the final round of the test!"

she taunted Ye Feng, who was only a few meters away.

Ye Feng had injured the people of the Chen family, and Nangong Lingshuang felt the need to avenge them since was going to marry into the Chen family in the future.

If she proved her strength, she would be able to curry favor with the Chen family. It would be a win-win situation for both sides.

"You are really confident,"

Ye Feng commented but didn't say anything else.

Nangong Lingshuang was too proud of herself. Ye Feng decided to completely crush her pride.

'The Mirror Screen can reflect my attack. I will move first.'

After the Elder introduced the rules, the warriors eagerly wanted to try. They knew that only by eliminating others first could they advance as soon as possible.

A person stepped out of the crowd and approached the Mirror Screen, wanting to be the first one to attack it.

He wasn't even near the Mirror Screen yet when a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the void and landed on his body. The pressure was as heavy as a mountain, and it weighed tens of thousands of jin.

The sound of his bones breaking could be heard. Under that pressure, his calves shattered. The intense pain caused his face to turn pale, as he kept screaming in pain!

The scene caused everyone to hold in their breath. They could feel their bodies slightly trembled.

The mirror screen could counter the shock, but it was difficult to attack the mirror screen.

As a result, everyone instantly understood that not everyone could attack the Mirror Screen unless one could withstand the pressure.

The Mirror Screen was right in front of them, but not a single person attacked after the agonizing scene. Instead, they discussed amongst themselves.

Finally, after some discussion, a young man's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the Mirror Screen.

When the pressure fell on him, the young man clenched his teeth.

Everyone's eyes flashed. Did he survive?

The young man smiled as if he was satisfied with his performance.

When he stood in front of the Mirror Screen, the young man threw out a punch. Some violent energy gathered on the Fist Light, and its power was terrifying.

There was a loud vibration that everyone could hear. The runes in the Mirror Screen surged as the screen released a terrifying force. In an instant, it covered the people on the fighting stage and shook them.

And before they knew it, the vibration shook them as if they had received a powerful attack. The weaker warriors vomited blood, to which some of them were knocked off of the stage.

At the same time, there was a force on the Mirror Screen that acted on the young man. His attack power was not so bad, but his defense seemed to be slightly weaker.

Under the Counterattack that he threw out, the young man's body trembled violently. His face turned pale as a sheet of paper, and he fainted on the spot.

"This Mirror Screen is really mysterious! It can actually reflect an attack!"

Ye Feng's eyes sparkled as he secretly felt amazed.

"His attacks are strong, but his defense is too weak. It's normal for him to be eliminated."

On the grandstand, Elder of Tianxiao Hall explained. A trace of disappointment appeared on his face.

"It's my turn!"

When they introduced the Mirror Screen earlier, the genius of the Zhong Family, Zhong Tao, eagerly wanted to give it a try. As he stepped forward, a terrifying power burst out of his body that even the pressure couldn't stop him.

"Tremble!"

Zhong Tao furiously shouted. The Lion's Battle Spirit bloomed, and a faint silhouette of a Lion could be seen behind him. The terrifying Fist Light rushed out as the Lion let out a series of roars. The terrifying destructive power spun in the air and instantly landed on the Mirror Screen.

Everyone heard an even stronger vibration three consecutive times. Zhong Tao's attack triggered three of the Mirror Screen's Counterattacks.
