Chapter 411: Competition

Compared to the burly man's reaction ability, Qin Feng's speed was clearly much faster.

Before this burly man could react, Qin Feng had already arrived behind him.

Directly backhanded, and stabbed the burly man in the waist with his sword.

He didn't deal a lethal blow, just seriously injured the burly man, causing him to lose his ability to move.

The battle ended quite quickly.

When Qin Feng chose this burly man before, it was because he saw that he was somewhat all show and no substance.

And saw that his footsteps were somewhat unsteady.

He judged that the burly man's speed might not be fast.

And due to his huge size, it would also suppress his speed to a certain extent.

But he didn't expect that the burly man's speed could be so slow and his reaction so dull.

But that's right, this is, after all, a preliminary selection,

there are cultivators from all over the place, and there are always many weaklings who overestimate themselves and come here to challenge.

It is normal for Qin Feng to luckily encounter one or two.

In this duel, although Qin Feng ended the battle in just a few seconds,

whether it was the speed of his sword swing, the force of his sword swing, or the power fluctuations carried,

they were all controlled to the level of the first level of Dao Entry.

This allowed him to quickly resolve the battle without having more intelligence about his own strength seen by others.

In short, this wave was a steady profit without loss.

Compared to the speed of Qin Feng's battle, Lin An's side was a bit slower.

For one thing, although Lin An's own strength was higher than the opponent's, it was not much higher.

Coupled with Lin An's lack of combat experience, the battle fell into a stalemate.

Qin Feng walked to the side of the arena where Lin An was fighting, and after just stopping to watch for a moment, he already realized that Lin An was using this opponent to practice her sword.

Lin An's cultivation speed was not slower than Qin Feng's at all.

Qin Feng reached the fourth level of Dao Entry, and Lin An was the same.

But based on the strength level Lin An was currently showing, it was at most the level of the second level of Dao Entry.

It was about the same as the opponent,

and it was very clear that Lin An was weaker than the opponent in combat experience.

But in terms of combat awareness, Lin An, relying on her monstrous intelligence, was still much stronger than the opponent.

So relatively speaking,

the battle between the two could only be considered as Lin An having the upper hand.

In the process of the duel, Lin An also clearly realized her shortcomings in combat experience and combat techniques.

So, she did not finish the duel as quickly as possible.

Instead, she tried her best to lower her strength to be about the same as the opponent's.

And then, through the duel with the opponent, she honed her combat techniques.

One must admit, Lin An's approach was still very smart.

The person Lin An encountered now was weaker than herself.

So she had the opportunity to ensure she could practice combat techniques without losing.

If she really encountered someone about the same as her, then it would be hard to say whether Lin An could win.

Once she encountered someone slightly stronger, she would likely be defeated.

Since she could improve her combat experience, neither Lin An nor Qin Feng lacked this bit of time.

After dragging it out for a full half hour, Lin An finally narrowly defeated her opponent and won.

"Sorry. Wasted some time."

Lin An said to Qin Feng with some apology after walking off the arena and registering her name.

"No matter. It's not like a few minutes matters."

After ending the battle, the two did not linger here and immediately returned to the hotel to continue today's cultivation.

And in the evening, today's preliminary selection ended.

The list of contestants who were finally recorded in the register was out.

In the current Yunlan City, the Kaiyuan Grand Assembly is the top priority.

News about the Kaiyuan Grand Assembly is flying all over the city.

You can hear it wherever you go.

When having dinner, Qin Feng and Lin An had already heard a lot of useful information at the dining table in the lobby.

And they also bought the intelligence they wanted to buy.

This is the number of people who passed the first round of preliminary selection.

That is to say, the number of cultivators participating in this martial arts preliminary selection has already reached more than 14,000.

If it weren't for the thousands of arenas,

let alone one day, ten days might not be enough to finish the preliminary selection.

After such a large-scale preliminary selection, more than half of these thousands of arenas had been dismantled.

These thousands of dismantled arenas

were mostly located in some relatively remote places, where almost no one would go to watch the battles.

The subsequent battles no longer needed to use so many arenas.

Moreover, they would no longer be as completely ignored as before.

The next day, when Qin Feng and the others arrived at the competition venue,

the competition venue had already been divided into a complete area.

Instead of being scattered in all directions throughout Yunlan City.

Most of the temporary arenas had been dismantled, leaving only hundreds of arenas.

They were enclosed in a centralized place, convenient for duels and for watching.

If the number of people is odd, then one person must have a bye.

Qin Feng and Lin An did not have such good luck for the time being, and still participated in this second round of duels.

More than 7,000 people were dueling, and there were only a few hundred arenas.

And who duels with whom, and when they go up, are all arranged by the organizers.

So when dueling, they still have to queue up.
