Chapter 2096: You like men, right?

The situation changed too quickly; not long ago, Chuyun Empire drew Tianfeng Empire and cheered as if it were New Year, but now the situation is completely different.

Having just witnessed Li Qingzhu's performance, Mangsang Empire no longer had its previous relaxed demeanor; instead, everyone looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

What made them feel even more pressured was that Tianfeng Empire's side remained unchanged; Li Qingzhu was still the only one to step onto the stage to fight.

In terms of strength, Mangsang Empire and Chuyun Empire were basically on par, both ranking towards the bottom among the thirty-six Empires.

Since the Chuyun Empire had just suffered such a miserable defeat, they likely wouldn't fare much better.

Sure enough, after the match began, it was like a replay of the previous team battle; Li Qingzhu still won all three matches, cleanly defeating Mangsang Empire's three team members and securing the second round.

After this battle, everyone present showed expressions of astonishment, and each gained a new understanding of Tianfeng Empire.

Everyone could see that today's Tianfeng Empire was no longer the weakling it once was; it was now incomparably stronger.

The matches continued, and the third round of draws was quickly completed: Tianfeng Empire versus Liufeng Empire.

As the results were announced, many people's eyes showed expressions of anticipation.

Aside from Tianfeng Empire, Liufeng Empire was the strongest among the other five teams, ranking in the upper-middle among the thirty-six Empires.

Even so, Jiang Fei, as the captain, still looked solemn, not daring to show the slightest contempt for his opponent.

He had seen clearly from below the stage that it would not be easy to defeat Tianfeng Empire.

At least the woman on stage was extremely powerful; although she had fought six matches, she had only used six moves, and her consumption was not great.

Judging by the ruthlessness she displayed, her cultivation was at least at the Void Refining Late Stage, and even he would not be guaranteed victory against such strength.

As the match began, the scene they had anticipated did not occur; Li Qingzhu did not retreat, still standing on the arena to meet the challenge.

Jiang Fei frowned; among the six people on their team, only he had the strength to fight this woman.

But he didn't want to do that; even if he defeated her, his strength would likely be greatly depleted, and who knew what situations the subsequent matches might bring.

Thinking of this, his heart stirred, as if he had an idea, and then he stepped onto the arena.

After stepping onto the stage, he did not pay attention to Li Qingzhu, but instead turned his head to look at Ye Bufan below the stage.

"Tianfeng Empire, right? I'm not used to fighting women. Do you have a man on your side to replace her with?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In his opinion, Tianfeng Empire had always been the weakest, and even if an ultra-strong opponent appeared now, there would surely only be one.

After all, even Liufeng Empire only had one young Void Refining Realm expert like himself; he didn't believe Tianfeng Empire could find a second one.

It was precisely because of this that this guy cleverly used a provocative tactic; as long as the other side replaced her with a man, he would be guaranteed victory.

Ye Bufan's lips curved into a playful smile; he could naturally see through the other party's thoughts.

Jiang Fangzhou, beside him, was already impatient; playing the pig to eat the tiger was an idea he had proposed, and it was his dream, but he hadn't had a chance to perform yet.

He said eagerly, "Ye Dage, this guy wants a man, so let me go up?"

"Alright, you go. Remember those few principles: show our might, and don't be soft-hearted in the slightest!"

Ye Bufan was not a bleeding heart; these people were all sent by the Zheng family, and since they were here to deal with him, there was no need to be polite.

"Don't worry, Ye Dage, I'll beat him so hard his own mother won't recognize him."

Jiang Fangzhou agreed and jumped onto the arena with an excited expression.

Seeing Li Qingzhu step down to rest, Jiang Fei finally let out a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the man in front of him, a faint sneer appearing on his face.

The other party seemed to be only at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage; even if he had hidden his cultivation, he couldn't be that powerful.

Jiang Fangzhou chuckled, "I heard you like men, is that right? Then I'll let you taste the flavor of a man from our Tianfeng Empire."

After saying that, he didn't hold back at all and directly threw a punch.

Jiang Fei glanced at the opponent's punch and couldn't help but curl his lips; he was indeed just a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

With disdain in his heart, he also met the punch with his own, believing that this one punch would directly end the battle.

Under everyone's gaze, the two fists quickly collided, making a dull thud.

Jiang Fei's expression suddenly changed drastically; the opponent's punch seemed ordinary, without any oppressive power.

But when the two fists truly met, a overwhelming force immediately pressed down.

He was originally only at the Void Refining Late Stage, one Rank lower than Jiang Fangzhou, who was at the Void Refining Peak.

Moreover, he had just underestimated his opponent and, in his arrogance, only used half of his strength.

Only now did he realize he had been fooled; the other party was completely playing the pig to eat the tiger, much stronger than the strength he had displayed.

But all of this was already too late; it was too late to try and circulate his True Qi, only

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

With a crack, that arm was directly broken by Jiang Fangzhou's punch.

The most fatal thing was that this punch didn't stop, but heavily struck his chest, sending him flying backward like a broken sack.

Jiang Fei was both shocked and angry; shocked by how powerful the opponent's cultivation was, and angry that he clearly had such cultivation, yet deliberately disguised himself as a weakling, which was utterly despicable.

But then something even more shocking happened: Jiang Fangzhou did not let him go, but reached out, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him back again.

"My boss said that we can't be polite to people like you."

As Jiang Fangzhou spoke, he used force in his hand, directly twisting and breaking both of Jiang Fei's lower legs, then kicked him off the arena.

Mid-air, Jiang Fei's intestines were turning green with regret; he was confident that if it had been Li Qingzhu from before, even if he couldn't win, he definitely wouldn't have lost so miserably.

He never expected that by cleverly changing opponents, the result would be someone ten times stronger than the previous one.

With endless regret, he crashed to the ground with a thud, then fainted.

"Uh…"

The people watching around were silent, their mouths agape, unable to close for a long time.

"Too fierce! Absolutely too fierce!"

Many people had the same idea as Jiang Fei before, thinking that Li Qingzhu was the strongest on Tianfeng Empire's side.

No one expected that even with a change of person, he would still be so fierce, defeating Liufeng Empire's strongest in one move.

At this moment, people realized that the former weakling no longer existed; today's Tianfeng Empire was many times stronger.

Having defeated Jiang Fei, the entire Liufeng Empire was as good as half-defeated; the remaining two opponents were weaker than the last, and Jiang Fangzhou easily secured this round.

Seeing this scene, the Zheng family's expressions were extremely grim.

The people they had arranged, not only had they not achieved any success so far, but they had all been crippled, resulting in heavy losses.

Originally, Lingxiao Academy accounted for one-third of the strength in the entire New Talent Ranking Tournament, but if they continued to fight like this, it would probably be their worst performance in history.

Zheng Yiheng slapped the table in front of him: "Damn it, this kid is hiding his cultivation again!"

Zheng Wei's expression was grim; as the Grand Elder of the Tianluo State branch, if the results this time were too poor, he would certainly have to face accountability from above.

After his anger, Zheng Yiheng said anxiously, "Second Uncle, think of a way, we can't let this kid keep being so arrogant!"
