Unlike the first rounds, the second rounds went much faster, and many competitors had already finished their fights.
Although initially Ling Xiya and Yi Mingzhu were overwhelmed to face their opponents, they finally managed to win with a narrow victory.
Tang Zhiyi's space element made her superior to her opponent, she didn't want to waste much time fighting her opponent, so she sent that person away to another area, causing all the cultivators present to frown.
After all, the competition purposed to hone their combat skills, but Tang Zhiyi used her abilities to do such a thing instead. However, her action also made everyone worry about meeting her, especially since her space element was overpowering for them.
Yi Shu also managed to defeat her opponent without much difficulty, but her eyes focused on Yu Mei, who was facing a female disciple from the Phoenix Sect, and their battle was a bit tight, especially since their elements were opposite each other. 'I hope she win, for I've been preparing myself for so long to face her.'
Ling Ling and Ye Jing also advanced to the third round after they easily won over their opponents.
As for the four women from the Feng Clan, Feng Xing won over a rogue cultivator; Feng Qiong also managed to defeat Huo Rui. However, Feng Xiu lost to Huo Ziqi, for their strength was similar.
Meanwhile, Feng Yao is badly beaten by Luo Yan. Even though Ling Yun had given her the technique to deal with her technique, her stamina was still inferior to hers.
As for the women from the Lotus Sect, Qiao Yan was defeated by Su Xin, shocking the audience, as they did not expect the two disciples of the Hundred Flower Sect to be so powerful.
Tang Wan and Su Ling also had to be eliminated from the second round after they lost badly to the Lei Sisters.
However, Xue Ying had to accept a draw, and Feng Ruxue decided to stop them from competing, especially since they were utterly exhausted. Although both felt disappointed with her decision, they also realized they could not fight in the next round.
Mu Lingxue still had to wait to face Chen Zong, but she wasn't sure she could defeat him, especially since their cultivation and stamina differences were far apart.
Yu Mei finally emerged victorious after a fierce battle with her opponent, and she advanced to the third round.
Of the male cultivators, Zhang Bing and Jiang Chen also stepped into the next round, but they kept exchanging glances, especially since both possessed the Earth element, making them curious about each other's abilities.
Besides them, the six male cultivators also qualified for the next round, and they now only had to wait for the results of the last three matches.

In the first arena, Ling Yun faced off against Liu Zhe. Chen Zong was already standing face-to-face with Mu Lingxue in the second arena.
Meanwhile, Qin Wen encounters a mysterious female cultivator wearing a veil in the third arena.
"Fight!" Long Wei shouted.
However, just as the match had just started, Qin Wen suddenly fell into the arena, his eyes rolled up, and his body twitched continously, causing Ling Yun and the other three participants to turn around to the third arena with confused looks.
'Hey, Ling Xi! What happened to Qin Wen? Why is he suddenly become like that?' Ling Yun asked as he raised his eyebrows.
Ling Xi observed Qin Wen first before she answered his question. "This woman used mental techniques on him, and he instantly mentally collapsed after her techniques affected him."
'Hmm?' Ling Yun was shocked to hear that, for this was the first time he had encountered a cultivator who used mental techniques.
However, Ling Xi's following words made Ling Yun even more shocked. "Moreover, not only does this woman use Qi, but she also uses Mana."
'What? Are you serious about that?' Ling Yun asked in shock. So far, he only knew Yi Mingxia, who could use both, and he had never met anyone who could combine the two.
Ling Xi nodded at him. "One hundred percent! However, I don't know whether this woman has a relationship with those blessed people or not, and you can try her abilities if you meet her later."
'I see.' Ling Yun nodded in understanding, but he directly used his system to check the woman's status. 'Dong Zhu, huh? Her cultivation is at Peak Core Realm; she possesses Wind and Fire elements.'
Since Feng Ruxue could hear their conversation, she immediately landed on Qin Wen's side to check on him. She sighed softly and turned to Qin Shuang, but she only nodded at her. "This match was won by Dong Zhu!"
"You guys can fight now." Feng Ruxue said as she brought Qin Wen to Qin Shuang's side, but her eyes kept glancing at Dong Zhu, mainly after she listened to Ling Xi's explanation. 'Could it be that she also has a relationship with those blessed people? But as I recall, only the Nangong Clan directly relates to them. Moreover, I have never heard of the Dong clan in this place. Could she be a new cultivator from the outside world like Yun'er and the others?'
Xuanyuan Xue'er also wondered about Dong Zhu's true identity. 'Where did this woman surnamed Dong come from? I have never heard of that surname in hundreds of years, or did she purposely use an alias to hide her true identity?'
Long Wei also asked his two wives about Dong Zhu's identity, but they couldn't give him a definite answer, for they didn't recognize the Dong surname either.

After that, Chen Zhong dashed toward Mu Lingxue as he wore his earth armor, for he wanted to finish their fight as soon as possible.
Seeing that, Mu Lingxue instantly leaped backward as she froze the arena to block Chen Zong's movement. Besides, she also uses a lot of Ice Walls to block him from approaching her.
However, Cen Zong appeared unaffected by all of Mu Lingxue's techniques, and he could destroy her Ice Walls without much effort.
'Tch!' Mu Lingxue gritted her teeth after she saw that; she then flew into the air and exerted her Ice Qi, and her body was enveloped by an Ice Armor. After that, she used an ice storm to trap Chen Zong, and his body froze extremely fast.
Chen Zong looked up at her and frowned. 'Damn it! This woman techniques are really troublesome!' "Your element may be stronger than mine, but you won't be able to defeat me if you only rely on attacks like this!"
"I know your strength and stamina are much higher than mine." Mu Lingxue replied as she sighed softly, but she immediately waved her hand, and numerous ice chains instantly bound Chen Zong's body. "Even so, my Qi usage is more efficient than yours, and you won't easily escape my techniques."
Chen Zong gritted his teeth upon hearing that; he was also aware that his technique caused his Qi to rapidly deplete, so he was impatient to defeat Mu Lingxue. 'Tch! I have to think of a way to escape her technique's trap, or else I'll lose to her due to running out of Qi. Moreover, I still want to face Ling Yun, so I must not lose to her.'

When Chen Zong was thinking about how to defeat Mu Lingxue. In the first arena, Liu Zhe had already used his technique, which made his body turn like lightning, and he moved at breakneck speed to circle around Ling Yun.
However, Ling Yun couldn't care less about Liu Zhe's actions, especially since his body was immune from Lei Lin's golden lightning, let alone his ordinary lightning. "Sigh, it seems that only Chen Zong and Jiang Chen are worthy of being my opponents."
Liu Zhe frowned after he heard that, but just as he was about to attack Ling Yun, his eyes widened in shock because he used a technique almost identical to his. 'What the hell? He also has the Lightning element?'
Not only was Liu Zhe shocked by that, but even Lei Tong, Lei Yuntian, and the Lei Sisters were also shocked.
After all, none of them had ever seen Ling Yun fight in person, except for the people in his circle.
Even Xuanyuan Xue'er raised her eyebrows upon seeing that, for she was sure that Ling Yun had Dark Qi, but she didn't know that he also possessed other elements.
However, they were even more shocked when they saw Ling Yun use the Earth element, especially since Lightning and Earth element were opposite to each other, yet he could use both at once.
Ling Yun looked at his opponent as he smiled faintly, but all the cultivators present at the venue were immediately shocked when he disappeared from their sight, and they tried their best to feel his presence to no avail.
"Gah!" Liu Zhe suddenly screamed in pain, startling those people.
However, Ling Yun did not stop there; he immediately launched a barrage of attacks on Liu Zhe.
'Fuck! How could a cultivator be as absurd as him?' Liu Zhe muttered in his heart as he tried to parry Ling Yun's attack, but he couldn't even see his movements, and only senior cultivators could see him.
In fact, Ling Yun could trounce Liu Zhe, but he wanted to use this opportunity to test his familiarity with his other elements, even if his actions required him to reveal a bit of his abilities before them.
