Another round of matches came to an end. Out of the original one hundred participants, only twenty-five remained. Among the casualties, only the two brothers Sun Ji and Sun Zhao had lost their lives; everyone else had sustained injuries, but none were fatal.

This time, Ling Xi found herself matched against a long-established powerhouse at the Minor Accomplishment of the Golden Core Realm.

Yet Ling Xi took down her opponent's head with effortless ease and tossed it right in front of the Sun Family.
