ack flared with holy light, stopping the blade in its tracks.At the same time, the powerful force of the backlash sent him flying backward dozens of meters. Dragonfang almost slipped from his grasp....The next morning, the entire Qingye Royal City was in an uproar.

Today is the day Qingye Wang officially announces her marriage, and countless people are flocking to the square to witness this grand event.

When Ye Bufan and his group returned here, the place was heavily guarded.

He showed the token he received after registering yesterday and was then allowed entry.

The square is now fully decorated, with nine tall stages standing there, as well as a podium.

The area surrounding is where the seats are prepared for the contestants, that sign can accommodate ten accompanying personnel. Ye Bufan's side has more than enough.

He, together with Xiaoqing and a few others, found their way to number 888 and sat down.

In no time, the participants arrived one after another, including He Hua-li and Chi Shu who I had seen yesterday.

The barbarian's physical recovery ability was strong. After a night's rest, the scars on Akashu's face had completely disappeared.

Ye Bufan didn't pay any attention to these people at all. His eyes were always fixed on the stage, wondering if the Qingye King would appear today for the marriage selection.

The result was disappointing. Even when everyone was gathered and the meeting began, he didn't see the figure he had been hoping for.

There were a dozen or so people on the dais, with Babhai, the chief steward, presiding over the proceedings.

"Everyone, welcome to this matchmaking event..."

After a brief introduction, he continued, "This time, our Qingye Palace is honored to have invited Master Aoke of the Wanshou Hall as the chief judge. Welcome everyone..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a white-haired old man sitting beside him nodded to everyone. This person was the Third Hall Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, and his cultivation had reached the level of a Barbarian Emperor.

"Goodness gracious, it's actually the headmaster of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall."

Upon hearing the name Aoki Zan, Nie Guanyun beside him let out a gasp of surprise.

Ye Bufan turned his head and looked over: “Is this Wanshou Tang very famous”

"Of course he is famous, everyone on the Barbaric Continent knows him."

Nie Guanyun said, "Although the Barbaric Wilderness occasionally clashes with humans, it's just minor friction. The main enemy is still the monsters of the Barbaric Mountain Range, and they frequently engage in battles."

Since there is war, there are prisoners of war. Some monsters, after being captured, were tamed and became beasts of burden for the barbarians.

The Wan Shou Tang is in charge of these demonic beasts. Its power is extremely formidable, comparable to the other eight departments. The three hall masters are even powerhouses at the level of a barbarian emperor.

Ye Bufan nodded, already understanding what kind of existence the Wan Shou Tang was. The monster army under its control was enough to rival thousands of soldiers and horses.

After the opening ceremony on the stage, Babuhai had finished his announcement. The rules of this matchmaking conference were divided into three stages. The first stage was a ring battle.

A total of nine hundred people signed up for the matchmaking event, divided into eighteen groups of fifty people. The event was conducted in two rounds.

The rules for the ring battle are also very simple. No matter what method you use, as long as you are the last one left on the stage, you win.

The eighteen rounds of the fighting tournament will leave only one person from each group. This means that after this round, out of the nine hundred competitors, only eighteen will remain.

Ye Bufan was left in the second round because he registered late.

The first round of the competition begins. Those participating in the matchmaking walk onto their designated platforms according to the arrangement. Chisha is on platform number one, and He Hua Li is on platform number two.

As the two most popular and highly-contested candidates, they have always been at odds with each other.

Aki made eye contact with them, a sneer curling his lips.

"I hope you don't get too useless, and please don't get beaten down in this round, or else I will be very lonely."

He Hua Li smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about me, it's you. I heard that you were beaten badly yesterday, and I wonder if your injuries are better now"

"You..."

Thinking about yesterday's disgrace, Chishu immediately gritted his teeth in hatred.

After returning yesterday, he immediately dispatched the experts of Guiyuan Department to search for the whereabouts of the man in black, but they couldn't find even a trace of him.

He snorted coldly: "Cut the crap, it's just you and me now. Let's see who can finish this the fastest."

Then Babhai quickly announced the start of the first round, and immediately the 450 contestants on the stage plunged into a chaotic melee.

This unrestrained battle royale ultimately boils down to how strong one's own strength is. Both Chi Shu and He Hua Li are Level 1 Barbarian Kings, undoubtedly the most powerful among the crowd.

But their opponents are also not weak, and there are many of them. It is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time to completely defeat everyone.

It took a full half hour for Chi Shu to kick the last opponent off the stage.

Meanwhile, He Hua-li on the other side had also ended his battle.

They looked at each other but neither spoke, both jumping off the stage. This round ended in a draw.

"Back to your seat, He Hua Li glanced at the butler beside him: "Is everything arranged"

The steward naturally knew what he was talking about and quickly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, everything is arranged."

I arranged a total of ten people, including three level-two Barbarian Kings and seven level-three Barbarian Kings.

The rest of them I've also bought off, we'll start the war by dealing with that human first. We won't give him any chance.

I've told them, whoever takes care of that kid gets a reward of ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones.

He Hua nodded in satisfaction. Such overwhelming strength concentrated on a single target, even he himself wouldn't be able to defend against it.

"That's better. To dare to oppose my Jiuan Department, I want to see how capable he is."

More than half an hour later, the first round of nine ring matches finally came to an end, and the second round began immediately.

Ye Bufan came to the ninth arena as arranged. As the only human among the nine hundred, he immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

After he got on stage, he immediately felt something was wrong. The recent fights on the platform that he had witnessed from the stands were a complete free-for-all, with everyone attacking without any target or distinction.

The ultimate victor is the king, the one left standing wins.

But he was different. After taking the stage, the eyes of the other forty-nine people all fell on him, and they were filled with murderous intent.

As far as strength is concerned, the forty-nine people on this stage are far superior to those on the other eight platforms. It's obvious that someone deliberately arranged this, targeting me. And it's not just about defeating me.

Ye Bufan turned his head to look at He Huarui, and at the same time, the other party also looked over, raising his hand to wipe his neck, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, a smile filled with disdain. Since the other party wanted to play, he would give them a good show.

Babubai announced the start of the competition, and the other eight arenas immediately erupted in roars as everyone charged into battle.

And the No. 9 platform where he stood was eerily quiet, with everyone giving him a murderous glare.

The audience below didn't seem too surprised, after all, Ye Bufan was the only human on stage, and it wasn't strange for them to deal with him first.

"Boy, you dare to participate in the Qingye King's matchmaking Go to death!"

At the forefront of the crowd stood a bald man, one of the secondary barbarian kings arranged by the steward.

In his view, solving the problem of this insignificant human race didn't require everyone to join forces; he was capable of doing it alone.

In an attempt to steal the glory, he brandished his long sword and charged forward first.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!bat an eyelid at her accusations"Little girl, do you have the right to speak to me"He spoke resolutely, looking over with a powerful aura that suddenly erupted, causing Nalan Yujia to stumble back rep...
