Chapter 419 - 416 Unexpected Fierce Battle
At this eighth round of the competition, since only the final sixteen remained, the matchups took place in pairs, with four individuals in each group, making a total of four groups, each conducting their contests separately.
Ye Xuan’s matchup against Gui Qingluo was arranged in the second group, while Nangong Yao’s matchup with "Xue Qianling" was in the third group.
"The first match of the eighth round, Zhao Xin of the Divine Spear Sect against Mr. Iron Hand."
With the referee’s shout, the first fight of the first group began and, at that moment, the crowd below erupted in an uproar as the words spread.
"Zhao Xin versus Mr. Iron Hand; who would have thought the first match would feature two such heavy-hitters?"
"Yes, Zhao Xin is a disciple of the Divine Spear Venerable and a dark horse in this tournament, while Mr. Iron Hand ranks third on the Master List. Although his strength is quite a bit less than that of Demon Sword Jue Wuchen from the Sword Sect Liu Qinghe, being ranked third means he can’t be much weaker. Taking down this Zhao Xin should be no problem."
"Exactly, that kid Zhao Xin is extremely arrogant, thinks he’s better than everyone else, and doesn’t even consider the major sects of the Chaotic Sea Domain worth his notice. Now’s the perfect time for him to get a taste of his own medicine. His streak of victories has only been because he hasn’t faced any strong opponents yet."
The crowd watched the two figures taking the stage, buzzing with discussion. Most people were instinctively siding with Mr. Iron Hand, as Zhao Xin’s previous display of arrogance had left quite a few people fuming.
On the battle platform, two figures stood fifty meters apart, each releasing their aura, dividing the platform into two distinct sides.
"Number three on the Master List is it, Mr. Iron Hand? You’re no match for me, let alone if you were number one on that list – then you might have a chance."
Zhao Xin looked nonchalantly at Mr. Iron Hand across from him and then slightly curved his lips, speaking with indifference.
