tective barrier and stop the mountain from falling.However, at this moment, a sigh filled with helplessness suddenly rang out from the cave: "Luo Bai Chuan, I'm out!"The sound of the roar not only cau...Among the temple bells, all clans began to head towards the Summer Palace, because the second round of the Beast Fighting Tournament was not held at the Beast Fighting Arena, but at the Summer Palace.

Actually, the Xia family held a grand banquet at the Xia Palace last night, inviting all clans to participate. They naturally sent someone to give an invitation to Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun didn't go.

At the banquet, Xia's family announced the rules for the second round of the competition.

As the outside world has spread, this competition is no longer like previous years, with ten challengers competing in pairs, but instead lets them all enter the Xia family's Tiān Qǐ Dào Jiān!

The Heavenly Revelation Dao 簡 is not something belonging to the Xia family, but rather something they obtained unintentionally. It is also the key factor that allowed the Xia family to become the most prominent clan of Daoists.

It is a world unto itself, although it harbors various opportunities, there are also risks.

And this time, for the competition, it is said that the Xia family even divided the inside into nine areas, just like levels of a game.

Whoever can be the first to clear all nine areas and walk out of the Daojian, will be the ultimate winner of this year's Beast Fighting Grand Tournament!

As the palace of the Xia family, a branch of the Dao Clan, and as the center of the entire Xia City, even the Nanman region, it was built with unparalleled grandeur.

As for the destruction caused by the beast controlled by Jiang Yun two days ago, it has already been repaired as good as new, and there is no trace of it being damaged.

At this very moment, the vast plaza outside the Summer Palace is teeming with people.

Ten champions have arrived, with only Jiang Yun remaining.

Now, Jiang Yun has become the top contender for the championship due to his stunning performances in the first round of the competition.

But, there are also some people who do not think so.

Because if only the top ten arena masters entered the Daojian, Jiang Yun's chances of winning would indeed be highest. But this time, besides these ten arena masters, there are also five others!

These five people are the disciples of the three major Daoist sects whom Xia Zhongtian personally went to greet a few days ago.

And yesterday, two more young men from prominent families arrived at the Xia family's home.

Compared to the children of the Dao clan and the Great clan, Jiang Yun and others had no advantage at all.

More importantly, according to the Xia family, leaving Daojian's world is not simply a matter of strength. It also depends on factors like fate, luck, and comprehension.

In short, this second round of competition, with the participation of other Dao clans, has truly become a spectacle watched by thousands. It has generated immense anticipation among everyone.

Finally, to everyone’s anticipation, Jiang Yun led the people of Xiao Village before all.

Even though the competition hadn't begun yet, it had already created a small stir. Countless cultivators rushed to greet Jiang Yun.

"Come on, ginger friend!"

“Jiang Dao-you, I believe in you!”

The strong rule in any world, is a universally recognized principle.

Ginger Cloud, with his strength, earned the respect of these cultivators on the land of the Southern Barbarians.

Ginger also politely nodded and greeted these people one by one, after a long while, he finally arrived at the front of the Summer Palace, standing side by side with nine other champions.

Among the other nine challengers, besides Mokuson, the remaining eight also cupped their fists and bowed to Jiang Yun.

Especially towards Cangwu, he waved his hands excitedly and shouted at him repeatedly, "Brother!"

Yesterday, Guan Yiming and Yu Cangwu had already gone to see Jiang Yun separately and had a long talk.

Because of Xia Zhongxing, Yu Cangwu recognized Jiang Yun as his senior brother and called him "senior brother" without any restraint. This made Jiang Yun both amused and helpless. He tried to explain, but it was useless, so he could only let him go.

As for Guan Yiming, the two had already shared their experiences with each other.

Unfortunately, Guan Yiming also had no information about other Shan Hai Realm people.

With all ten champions assembled, the tolling bell that reverberated throughout Xiac City finally fell silent.

Next, the gate of the Summer Palace opened, and a group of people walked out.

Heading the pack is none other than Xia Zhongtian, the head of the Xia family!

Behind him, in addition to the six other Taoist guests he had received the day before yesterday, there were six more people.

Of these six people, four came from two other large clans, and besides them, there were a young man and woman dressed in Xia family attire.

The man was incredibly handsome, with a smile on his face as he looked around. The woman, however, had her head bowed, but Jiang Yun recognized her at once – it was Xia Mingzhu!

Not only did Ginger Cloud recognize him, but most of the people around also recognized him.

The first beauty of the Nanman land, Xia Mingzhu!

"Xia Mingzhu actually appeared, couldn't the rumors be true This time at the Beast Fighting Tournament, the Xia family really intends to find a husband for Xia Mingzhu!"

"It must be true, otherwise, why would other Daoist clans and major clans come here to participate in the Beast Fighting Grand Assembly!"

Don't you find it strange With the Xia family's power and Xia Mingzhu's beauty, why would they need to use such a method for finding a husband

"What do you know If the Xia family and other Daoist clans became in-laws, that would be a powerful alliance!"

Just as everyone was buzzing with speculation, Xia Zhongtian raised his hand and cupped his fist in a gesture of respect towards everyone, smiling as he said: "Everyone, I originally planned to keep things under wraps, but it seems your information network is quite extensive. In that case, I won't hold back anymore."

"Very well, my Xia family is indeed hoping to use this Beast Taming Competition to find a good home for the jewel of our Xia family!"

"The person who emerges first from the Tianqi Dao test this time will not only win this grand assembly, but also become the son-in-law of my Xia family!"

Previous speculations have finally been confirmed with Xia Zhongtian's open and honest words, causing an uproar in the crowd.

Even some well-wishers shouted enthusiastically, amplifying the atmosphere.

Xia Zhongtian smiled indulgently as the crowd cheered, but after a moment he raised his hand, signaling for silence. His smile vanished as he said, "But, let's get something straight!"

"If anyone isn't here for my Xia Jia Mingzhu, then you best not participate in this second round!"

"Just in case you actually win, but refuse to become my Xia family's daughter-in-law, embarrassing the face of my Xia family is a minor matter. Delaying your marriage and future happiness as the jewel of my Xia family... then don't blame my Xia family for being impolite!"

Xia Zhongtian's face took on a look of grim determination, causing the atmosphere around him to become noticeably heavy.

But soon someone cried out, "Master Xia, to become the son-in-law of the Xia family and marry Miss Mingzhu is a blessing that one couldn't achieve in several lifetimes. Surely no one would refuse. Let's start the second round of competition!"

What he said is true.

Whoever becomes the son-in-law of the Xia family can be said to have reached the pinnacle of success, enjoying both wealth and beauty. Who wouldn't want such a perfect combination

But surprisingly, the only person with a blank expression was Jiang Yun!

He wasn't here for Xiamingzhu, but for Feng Yaodaojian. Even if he won, he couldn't marry Xiamingzhu, let alone become the son-in-law of the Xia family.

However, he also admitted that Xia Zhongtian was right. In front of so many people, if he won and then refused, it would indeed damage the Xia family's face and be unfair to Xia Mingzhu.

"It seems like I cannot win this competition!"

"Alright everyone, it's getting late, so let's begin the second round of the competition!"

"Let the Heavenly Mandate be simplified!"

As soon as his words left his mouth, Xia Zhongtian waved his hand, and in an instant, a ball of nine-colored light appeared out of thin air!

And the light grew larger and larger, covering the entire square and all the people on it, until it formed a gate of nine colors.
