Chapter 1974

"Wow, senior, you actually lost HP this time!" etc.

Right after leaving the match arena, Xiao Feng got punched by Dun Dun, seemingly trying to test if he would lose health.

"I ran into a good friend, so I backed off a bit." Xiao Feng explained.

"Ning'er was just incredibly handsome, the sky even darkened— that move is really strong!" Qing Feng Yan Yu stared at Jiang Ning in astonishment.

Actually after 【5】 there is a paragraph about glossary but not a line. The next line is 【8】? Wait the prompt includes 【7】 as a comment? Let's see: after 【5】 there is a block of text about glossary and then 【7】 appears as a line? Actually the prompt includes:

He smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "Not even close to Brother Xiao Feng."

"After this fight, we basically have no chance to perform in the remaining matches; everything relies on Xiao Feng fighting alone," Xing Yun Miao sighed.

Today's match is the round of 16 to 8, and the next match will be the quarterfinals.

Looking at the match schedule, the next opponent will be either Zu Jian Xing Team 2 or the Ancient Rock Realm.

But we need to check if the text treats it as a proper name (like a region). It's likely a proper name of a realm. We'll translate.

The Ancient Rock Realm is the strongest combat zone among stone civilizations, consistently ranking in the top ten of the civilization index.

Although they lack star‑level players, they have many experts and have won all their matches to reach the round of 16; at the very least, they are not weaker than Xue Ningzhen's squad.

However, they probably couldn't beat Zu Jian Xing's Team 2.

The five members of Zu Jian Xing Team 2 are Number 3, Number 4, Number 5, Number 6, and Number 13.

Number 13's Mechanical Tyrant Dragon innately has 100 million strength; after the Law‑Tempered Body transformation, its attack could exceed Xiao Feng's, giving it the highest attack stat in the server. Each strike also adds 30% fixed damage, ignores shields, and ordinary players cannot withstand it.

Number 3's Machine Soldier is immune to Secret Arts below rank four, and all of its skills ignore defense, making it very hard to handle.

Number 4 is a healer, Number 5 is an immortal, and Number 6 can...

The clone mechanical bees are each incredibly troublesome; no matter how they are combined, they are extremely difficult to deal with.

"Let's skip the next match, Xiao Feng— you fight alone," Xing Yun Miao suggested.

"The opponents are getting stronger; Cong Cong's team can still help a bit, but later on, without a supreme treasure they hardly have any ability to intervene."

Rather than go out and be a decorative vase, it's better to simply sit out.

Xiao Feng originally wanted to say that, with Jiang Ning's damage output and Dun Dun's defense, teaming up would be no problem.

But after thinking it over, it's fine for them not to fight; after several matches in a row, their performances have been about the same, and future battles would likely just be a burden, offering no chance to shine and instead becoming a breakthrough point for the enemy, affecting their mindset.

Moreover, the audience for the upcoming matches will keep growing, so it's no longer appropriate to continue showing off their love on the stage.

"Well, since you said that, my lady, I have no choice but to go out alone," he laughed.

"You're working hard? When hasn't the battle ended in just a few seconds?" Xing Yun Miao retorted.

"Huh? Can I take that as a provocation?"

Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows and concluded that she was speaking with a double meaning.

Seeing his expression, Xing Yun Miao realized her words sounded off and quickly explained, "I didn't mean that!"

"No, you did!"

Xiao Feng gave a cruel smile, grabbed her before she could run, lifted her and ran upstairs, saying, "I can't stand stimulation; since you're provoking me, let you count properly— just how many seconds!"

"Ah, let me down, you stinky man— in broad daylight you..."

Xing Yun Miao struggled.

She struggled to escape, but to no avail; instead, her mouth was covered, and even her voice of rebuttal weakened.

Soon after, the sound of her counting came from upstairs.

1，2，3，4…… No named.

As she counted, when she reached nine, she suddenly let out a short scream.

Then she started counting again from one.

1，2，3，4……9！ No named.

"Ah~"

This cycle repeated over and over, and Xing Yun Miao's voice gradually took on a hint of sobbing.

"Damn senior, you're bullying my sis Miao—I'm going to save her!" The righteous loli knight, who can't stand men bullying women, surged up the stairs in righteous fury, ready to defeat the evil overlord.

Seeing her bravery, the other girls were inspired and all embarked on the quest to rescue their sisters.

Then…… the entire army was wiped out.

…… No named.

This morning there is still a match: Divine Wood Star Team 1 versus the Weird Dimension.

Divine Wood Star Team 1 is a plant‑civilization squad; its overall strength is slightly weaker than Cong Cong's team, and its chances of victory are slim.

This is a battle with no anticipation; Xiao Feng chose not to watch, staying home to silently teach the girls mathematics.

The afternoon match was somewhat interesting.

The two matches are: Zu Jian Xing Team 1 versus the Furious World, and the Ancient Rock Realm versus Zu Jian Xing Team 2.

Xiao Feng didn't go to watch either of these matches, because the outcome could be guessed.

Both teams from Zu Jian Xing are abnormal, making victory inevitable.

Tomorrow's four matches are somewhat more interesting: Evil Realm versus Taigu Star Team 1; Time‑Space Rift versus Firefly Star; Tian Shen Zu Di Team 1 versus Azure Sky World; and Jiuzhou World versus Blue Star Team 1.

Among them, Taigu Star is a main‑sequence star of the Divine Race.

It is inhabited by a few Divine Race citizens who can withstand high temperatures; they are not many, but quite strong. The representative player is "Sui Bian Kan Kan", whose name is casual but whose ability is outstanding, capable of ranking within the top 30 of the entire server.

However, when facing the Evil Realm, defeat is basically inevitable.

Firefly Star is the strongest combat zone of the Insect Race civilization.

In the myriad heavens world, the Insect Race civilization is a relatively weak faction, because they don't like playing games and prefer real warfare; thus, although they are supremely powerful in the actual universe, they are weak in the game world, making it naturally impossible for them to defeat the Feng Feng Shi of the Time‑Space Rift.

As for the Azure Sky World…… the fact that this region has made it this far already feels like a miracle to Xiao Feng.

Although their team includes the Azure Heaven Lord as its ruler, in reality their overall strength is at the bottom of the round of 16—they can't even beat Xue Ningzhen's team in the top 32, let alone take on Team 1 of the Divine Race Ancestral Land.

Among all the round‑of‑16 to quarterfinals matches, the most noteworthy is still Blue Star Team 1 versus the Nine Provinces Battlefield.

The two popular major zones of human civilization meet ahead of time, and Shen Chuo and Han Zichen, two peerless sword immortals, are about to fight to the death on the dueling platform.

This is undoubtedly the regret of human players.

But at the same time, it is a battle that everyone eagerly anticipates!

The sword dao dispute has been debated for a long time inside the alliance zone—whether Shen Jianshen is stronger or Han Jianxian is more fierce will be decided tomorrow afternoon!

Xiao Feng also felt great interest in the battle between these two good friends.

Therefore, to adjust himself to the best spectator state, he decided to enter seclusion for 32 hours, emerging tomorrow afternoon to watch the battle!

He took the competition reward cultivation pill, increasing his cultivation.

At the same time, he also did not forget

Cultivating, he simultaneously applied the beneficial effects of the Qi Luck cultivation technique, the Exorcism Dao practice, and the Super Spirit Aperture to strengthen his own power.

Because he can multitask, he can also use his spare energy to communicate with Miaojie, Dun Dun, Xiao Mi, and others about the laws.

After such painstaking cultivation for 32 hours, all the matches ended as expected, with winners and losers decided.

When the tournament progressed to the final match of the round of 16 to 8, Xiao Feng finally ended this short period of seclusion cultivation.

He lay on the pile of legs, not going to Thus English: Thus English: Shuiyuecheng either, directly opened the virtual spectator system, and entered the battlefield from the perspective of the virtual audience seats.
