Chapter 805

He didn't deal a fatal blow, just severely wounding the burly man and causing him to lose his ability to act.

The battle ended quite quickly.

Qin Feng chose this burly man before because he saw he looked a bit like he was all show and no substance.

And seeing his footsteps were a bit unsteady.

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

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

But he didn't expect the burly man's speed to be so slow and his reactions to be so dull.

But that was also right; after all, this was a preliminary selection,

cultivators from all over the place were everywhere, and there were always many weaklings who overestimated themselves and thought they were powerful enough to come here to challenge.

It was normal for Qin Feng to have the good luck to encounter one or two.

In this duel, although Qin Feng only used a few seconds to end the battle,

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

he controlled it to the level of about the first level of Entry to the Dao.

This allowed him to quickly resolve the battle without letting others see more intelligence about his own strength.

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, although Lin An's own strength was higher than the opponent's, it wasn't too much higher.

Plus, Lin An's combat experience was insufficient, so 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 look for a moment, he had already perceived that Lin An was using this opponent to practice her blade.

Lin An's cultivation speed was no slower than Qin Feng's.

Qin Feng reached the fourth level of Entry to the Dao, 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 Entry to the Dao.

It was about the same as the opponent,

and combat experience was clearly weaker than the opponent's.

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

So relatively speaking,

the two's battle could only be considered Lin An having a slight upper hand.

In the process of the duel, Lin An also clearly perceived her own deficiencies in combat experience and combat techniques.

Therefore, she didn't finish the duel as quickly as possible.

Instead, she tried her best to lower her strength to a level similar to the opponent's.

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

It had to be said that Lin An's approach was still very clever.

The person Lin An encountered now was weaker than herself.

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

If she really encountered someone similar to her, then it was 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 obtained victory.

"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 we're short of these few minutes."

After ending the battle, the two didn't linger here, and immediately returned to the inn 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 had all been released.

In the current Yunlan City, the Kaiyuan Assembly was the top priority.

News about the Kaiyuan Assembly was flying all over the city.

You could hear it wherever you went.

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

And, they had also bought the intelligence they wanted to buy.

7,213 people.

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

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

If it weren't for the fact that there were thousands of arenas,

let alone one day, ten days might not have been 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—

most were scattered 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.

And, 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 concentrated place, convenient for duels and convenient for watching.

If the number of people was odd, then there would inevitably be one person who would have a bye.

Qin Feng and Lin An didn't 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 for the duels.

And who dueled with whom, and when who went up, were all arranged by the organizers.

So when dueling, they still had to line up.
