clearly higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second ten-day period of the month-long martial arts competition was dedicated to team battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they didn’t want to be eliminated, they naturally had to choose a stronger team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The schedule for the Kaiyuan Grand Assembly was very tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they finished the finals of the preliminary selection, the real team battles would begin the very next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after their victory, the members of both teams didn’t waste time on anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they returned to their respective inns as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent their time studying the intelligence they had gathered on other teams while resting as much as they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to conserve their energy and prepare for the next day’s battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this group did not include Qin Feng, Lin An, and Beigong Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their victory, the five people who had participated in the mission to find the Flame Sun Fruit gathered for the first time to hold a small meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of the meeting was, naturally, about the upcoming Kaiyuan Grand Assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, overall, our strength cannot be considered the strongest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even with the addition of those two at the first level of Dao Certification, we can only be considered upper-middle tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the team battles, only ten winning teams can participate in the subsequent individual battles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among more than a thousand teams, our strength level is at most around the top thirty or forty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is quite difficult to make it into the top ten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had passed the first step, the road ahead was still not easy to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their team had two experts at the first level of Dao Certification and Beigong Yun, an expert at the tenth level of Dao Entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from those three, the strength of the other two could only be considered average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the strength of Qin Feng and Lin An was a complete drag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be selected by various states and cities as members of a seed team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength would definitely not be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there were no extremely powerful geniuses, at the very least, their strength would be relatively balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any weaknesses, it is very hard to defeat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin An and I are currently at the fifth level of Dao Entry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as we don’t run into those teams stronger than us in the early stages of the battles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the later stages, it won’t even take ten days for the two of us to reach the sixth level of Dao Entry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although it is only an increase of one level, it will still be of some help to our overall strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing their current predicament, Qin Feng had no good solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was he and Lin An who were holding the team back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could be done about that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they were unlucky enough to encounter the strongest team at the very start, they would be powerless to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We won’t encounter the strongest teams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the last two days, we won’t encounter any teams ranked in the top one hundred.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For us, the hardest part will be the matches in the final two days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng’s previous words had already expressed his slight worry regarding the random drawing for matchups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because luck is something truly ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew if they would be that unlucky?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Beigong Yun, who sensed the worry in Qin Feng’s words, was not worried about this point at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unlike the preliminary selection, those participating in the team battles are all excellent members from various major states and cities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if the second-strongest team and the first-strongest team meet in the first round? What then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the second-strongest team to be eliminated from the very beginning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is clearly not in line with conventional interests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although it is said to be random, there is actually some behind-the-scenes manipulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The top 100 teams will absolutely not meet in the initial matchups.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is also to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that those who enter the individual battles are mostly strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rather than letting the weak muddle through while the strong lose their chance from the start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that both Qin Feng and Lin An did not know this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun explained it in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was something tacitly understood, and it really wasn’t reflected in the intelligence reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, it is still favorable for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, with the cultivation speed of Lin An and me, ten days is one level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although this one-level increase is weak, it is still useful in the end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just… the competition hasn’t even started yet, and there’s already a ranking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Beigong Yun’s explanation, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the uncertainty of luck, he clearly felt more confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just… surely this ranking wasn’t also decided internally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Kaiyuan Grand Assembly—do you think the major powers of the Mobis Kingdom aren’t involved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would the royal family not pay attention?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not for this, we wouldn’t have to be so cautious, or even have to resort to the method of changing bodies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The basic information of our teams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The organizers of the Kaiyuan Grand Assembly have long since figured it out clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have also grasped the strength of each team quite well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although there might be discrepancies in the rankings for individual teams, it’s mostly accurate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even for our two teams that were just formed today, they will immediately analyze us and add us to the team rankings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun did not feel impatient at all and answered all of Qin Feng’s questions in detail, far more reliably than the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Qin Feng and Lin An were still hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should they ask Beigong Yun how exactly they were disguising themselves and changing identities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, although they were very curious, this was, after all, someone else’s private matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t sure if they should ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Beigong Yun had brought it up voluntarily this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng had no choice but to follow the topic and ask with a thick skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was truly curious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, what is going on with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am certain that you are Beigong Yun, but I am also certain that you are currently a woman, whereas before you were definitely a man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So how did you do it? Is it soul possession or puppet possession?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, there are only these two possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be that Beigong Yun had been a woman disguised as a man before, or was now a man disguised as a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to be an idiot to have such a guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is neither soul possession nor puppet possession; this is my own body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun’s answer almost made Qin Feng and Lin An spit out the water they had just taken into their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a joke, was it? Who would believe this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be precise, this is a part of the body I cultivated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beigong Yun’s words were confusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Lin An being completely baffled, even Qin Feng was extremely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be cloning?\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-06-17T06:32:32.271Z","2026-06-17T06:54:06.241Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","444939b04b9741494b23adde997e768367cf001f6b2796e89f4c49bbabf27b11","online-game-mage-starting-with-a-10-000x-boost-f-chapter-424","online-game-mage-starting-with-a-10-000x-boost-f-chapter-422",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fonline-game-mage-starting-with-a-10-000x-boost-f-cover.jpg"]
