as still somewhat useful, he probably wouldn't even be alive.After he left, Huang Caie held Shang Peng's arm again: "Husband, you have to think of a way quickly. You can't let my brother stay like thi...The situation is changing too quickly. Not long ago, the Chuyun Empire defeated the Tianfeng Empire, and everyone was cheering and celebrating, like it was Chinese New Year. But now the situation is completely different.

I just witnessed Li Qingzhu's performance with my own eyes. The atmosphere in the Mangsang Empire has completely changed; there is no longer any sense of ease, instead, everyone looks grave and wary, as if facing a formidable enemy.

What added to their pressure was that the Tianfeng Empire remained unchanged, with only Li Qingzhu still stepping forward to challenge.

In terms of strength, the Mansang Empire and the Izumo Empire are basically equal, both ranking among the lower positions in the Thirty-Six Empires.

The former Yun Empire was defeated so miserably, they probably fared no better.

As expected, after the match started, it was like a replay of the previous team battle. Li Qingzhu once again achieved three victories in three battles, defeating the three members of the Mangsang Empire with clean and decisive moves, securing the second round for their team.

As the battle ended, astonishment filled the faces of everyone present. They all gained a newfound respect for the Tianfeng Empire.

It's clear to anyone that Tianfeng Empire today is no longer the weakling it used to be; its strength has increased tremendously.

The competition continued, and soon the third round of draws was completed. The Tianfeng Empire faced off against the Liufeng Empire.

As the results were announced, many people's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Apart from the Tianfeng Empire, the Liufeng Empire is the most powerful among the other five teams and ranks in the middle tier among the thirty-six empires.

Even so, as the captain Jiang Fei remained solemn, facing his opponents with utmost respect.

He could see clearly from the sidelines just now, wanting to surpass the Tianfeng Empire was not easy.

At least this woman on stage is extremely powerful. Although she has fought six matches, she has only used six moves and her energy consumption isn't high.

Judging from the opponent's ferocity, their cultivation level is at least in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. Even if he faced them, he wouldn't be certain of victory.

As the match began, the scene they had anticipated did not occur. Li Qingzhu did not retreat and remained on the platform to face the challenge.

Jiang Fei frowned. Of the six people in their team, only he had the strength to fight this woman.

But he didn't want to do that, even if he defeated the opponent, it would probably be a great loss of strength, who knows what will happen in the next game.

As he thought about this, a plan seemed to form in his mind. He then stepped onto the platform.

After he took the stage, he didn't pay any attention to Li Qingzhu, but instead turned his head to look at Ye Bufan in the audience.

"The Heavenly Peak Empire, is that it I'm not comfortable fighting women. Do you have any men over there who could take my place"

In his eyes, the Tianfeng Empire had always been the weakest one. Even now that a super strong opponent appeared, there was surely only one person.

After all, for a young Void Refinement Realm powerhouse like him, even the Liufeng Empire only had one person. He didn't believe the Tianfeng Empire could find another.

That's precisely why this guy, being quite the crafty one, resorted to a bit of psychological warfare. His plan was simple: as long as his opponent switched to a male player, he'd be guaranteed victory.

Ye Bufan curled the corner of his mouth into a playful smile. He could naturally see through the other person's intentions.

Jiang Fangzhou, standing next to him, was already eager and impatient. The idea of "pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger" was his suggestion, also his dream, but he hadn't had the chance to perform it yet.

He said eagerly, "Brother Ye, this guy is into men, let me go up"

"Alright, go ahead. Remember the principles: show our strength, and be ruthless."

Ye Bufan is not a saint, these people are arranged by the Zheng family. Since they are here to deal with him, there is no need to be polite at all.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye, I'll beat him so badly his mother won't even recognize him."

Jiang Fangzhou responded with a sound, excitedly jumping onto the stage.

Seeing Li Qingzhu go backstage to rest, Jiang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the man in front of him, a faint sneer curling his lips.

The other party looks like only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. Even if they hide their cultivation, they aren't that impressive.

Jiang Fangzhou chuckled: “I heard you like men, don't you Then let me let you taste it. The taste of men from our Tianfeng Empire.”

Without a word, he launched a punch.

Jiang Fei glanced at the other person's fist stance and couldn't help but scoff. As expected, he was just a cultivator at the Yuan Ying stage.

With a heart full of disdain, he also met the attack with a punch. In his mind, this single punch would end the fight.

Under everyone's gaze, two fists collided quickly, with a muffled thud.

Jiang Fei's expression changed suddenly. The opponent's fist seemed ordinary and lacked any pressure.

When the two fists truly met, a crushing wave of power surged over them.

He was originally only at the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, a level lower than Jiang Fangzhou, who was at the peak of the Refining Void Realm.

And just now, he even developed a sense of disdain, and under his arrogance, he only used half his strength.

Only now do I realize I've been tricked. The other party was completely playing dumb, their true strength far exceeding what they showed.

But it was all too late, any attempt to mobilize his qi had come too late. With a sickening crack, that arm was shattered by Jiang Fangzhou's single punch.

The worst part was that the punch didn't stop there. It slammed heavily into his chest, sending him flying backward like a broken sack of potatoes.

Jiang Fei was both shocked and enraged. He was shocked by the opponent's unexpectedly powerful cultivation, and enraged that despite possessing such power, they chose to disguise themselves as a weakling, which was utterly despicable.

To his shock, Jiang Fangzhou didn't let him go. Instead, she reached out and grabbed his ankle, pulling him back again.

"The boss said that you can't show any courtesy to people like you."

As Jiang Fangzhou spoke, he exerted force with his hands, directly breaking the man's two legs. Then, he kicked out with his foot, sending him flying off the stage.

Floating in mid-air, Jiang Fei's intestines were filled with regret. He was confident that if it had been the previous Li Qingzhu, he would have at least put up a fight even if he lost, and wouldn't have been defeated so pathetically.

I didn't expect that by trying to be clever and changing someone, I would end up with someone who is ten times stronger than the previous one.

He fell to the ground with a heavy thud, overwhelmed by remorse, and then he fainted.

"Uh..."

The onlookers were completely silent, their mouths wide open in disbelief, unable to close them for a long time.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Many people previously shared the same idea as Jiang Fei, believing that Li Qingzhu was the most formidable figure in the Tianfeng Empire.

No one expected that with a change of person, the fighting style would remain so fierce, defeating the strongest warrior from the Flowing Wind Empire in a single move.

Only now did people realize that the weakling from before was gone, and in its place stood the Tianfeng Empire, strengthened countless times over.

After defeating Jiang Fei, the entire Liufeng Empire was essentially defeated. The remaining two opponents were weaker than Jiang Fei, and Jiang Fangzhou easily won this round.

Seeing this scene, the Zheng family's faces turned extremely ugly.

The people they sent have not achieved any success so far, but have all been disabled, resulting in heavy losses.

Originally, Lingxiao Academy held one-third of the strength in the entire newcomer ranking tournament. However, if they continue playing like this, they are likely to achieve the worst result in history.

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

Zheng Wei's face was gloomy. As the head elder of the Tianluozhou branch, if this time's results were too poor, he would definitely be held accountable by those above.

Zheng Yiheng, after his anger subsided, said anxiously to his second uncle: "Second Uncle, you have to think of a way. We can't let this kid keep acting so arrogantly!"tage.
