Chapter 92: After the draw, continue the competition.

Moreover, Xiao Bei believed that this time, Xiao Yun had indeed made up his mind... because according to the degree of the weakening aura Xiao Bei sensed from Xiao Yun, the life force weakening in Xiao Yun was much faster than the withering Xiao Bei had felt from He Lian before!

This concept means that Xiao Yun must have sacrificed countless years of life to enhance his strength. If it weren't for his youth, Xiao Bei believed that Xiao Yun would already show signs of aging, and his life might be on the verge of withering!

Shaking his head, Xiao Bei thought to himself that he hadn't expected Xiao Yun to endure such an extremely painful cultivation method, which was truly beyond his expectations.

Withdrawing his martial qi, Xiao Bei looked at Xiao Yun, his mouth slightly open, and said, "Xiao Yun, move aside, I need to get on the stage. Don't block me."

"Move aside, hmpf..." Xiao Yun angrily snorted, but his voice didn't dare to be too loud as he continued, "Xiao Bei, you lucky guy, if you hadn't drawn the thirteenth wooden plaque but instead drawn the one next to mine, I would definitely make you know the price of arrogance!"

"Move aside."

Xiao Bei didn't respond to Xiao Yun's words and continued.

After all, for someone like Xiao Yun, Xiao Bei had always looked down on him. Now that Xiao Bei knew who the mastermind was, he didn't want to get entangled with Xiao Yun any further.

If it weren't for the need to keep a low profile, Xiao Bei would have already killed Xiao Yun... because Xiao Yun's murderous intent towards Xiao Bei had existed for a long time.

There was no need to be soft-hearted towards someone who always wanted to kill him.

"Xiao Bei, you..."

Xiao Yun trembled with anger.

However, he couldn't help but turn around, as many people had already focused their attention on him.

This was one of the most solemn occasions in the Xiao family, the trial arena for the most outstanding descendants. With outsiders present, Xiao Yun didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he was a member of the Xiao family, and Xiao Zhan and others had the right to punish him more severely due to the resentment from the previous incident involving Xiao Sa.

So, after glaring at Xiao Bei fiercely, Xiao Yun stepped back.

However, Xiao Yun's gaze remained venomous, as if Xiao Bei were a piece of flesh and he were a giant mosquito.

The intense killing intent couldn't be concealed!

Xiao Bei, after getting on the stage, completely ignored Xiao Yun, scanning the crowd and quickly assessing the situation.

At this moment, there were six people on the stage, and with Xiao Bei, there were exactly seven people.

These seven people were about to participate in the next round of the trial arena, and they could also be considered the most capable descendants of the Xiao family so far.

On the other side, after Xiao Bei got on the stage, Xiao Zhan had already whispered something to Xiao Ting.

Then, Xiao Ting stood up, first bowing to the surrounding Imperial Rank martial artists, and then he directly soared through the air, landing steadily on the arena in front of Xiao Bei.

Xiao Ting's eyes, full of praise, swept over Xiao Bei, and he nodded.

Then, Xiao Ting turned around, facing the audience below.

"Today is the day for the Xiao family's most outstanding descendants to compete in the trial arena. Who will become the top two in this trial arena and gain the qualification to go to Hengxiang Academy is very much anticipated... Moreover, we are fortunate to have the leader of the Zhou family of the Imperial Dynasty, Zhou Jiao, and others..."

Xiao Ting listed the names of the Imperial Rank martial artists present.

Each name was met with applause from the audience.

Although many thoughtful descendants of the Xiao family knew that the true intentions of these Imperial Rank martial artists were not to protect the Xiao family, at least on the surface, they couldn't afford to lose face.

After mentioning the last Imperial Rank martial artist, Xiao Ting waved his hand and said, "Thank you all for coming to watch the family trial arena. Well..."

Pausing, Xiao Ting continued, "I won't say much. Given that the previous trial arena didn't seem to consume much of the excellent descendants' strength, this time, we will directly draw lots to determine the top four in the family trial arena! Of course, this is a seven-to-four trial arena, so one person will have a bye. Therefore, the one who draws the seventh number will be considered to have a stroke of luck and will directly advance to the top four!..."

"Whoosh!"

A whistling sound came, and Xiao Zhan, who had been waiting, threw up seven wooden plaques.

Xiao Ting didn't reach out but released his martial qi, which stabilized the seven wooden plaques, making them float in the air... "Seven wooden plaques are now here. Xiao Qing, as the one who ended the competition in the shortest time, you have the first choice."

Xiao Ting said to Xiao Qing.

This person was the one who had entered the inner chamber of the library with Xiao Bei and had ranked second in the hunt for beast heads.

Xiao Qing smiled foolishly and then pointed, "I'll choose that wooden plaque. I hope I can draw the bye like Xiao Bei did last time and get a good rest."

This remark elicited a few light laughs from the audience.

In the Xiao family, Xiao Qing's talent was well-known. Combined with his relentless dedication to cultivation, his strength improved rapidly, and he always held a high position... However, in terms of social skills, Xiao Qing was not very proficient. But because he was honest and straightforward, without any ill intentions, he was well-liked in the Xiao family and not envied or hated by many.

Xiao Qing had never bullied or looked down on Xiao Bei, whether in the past or now. Therefore, Xiao Bei naturally didn't interpret Xiao Qing's words as sarcastic.

So, when Xiao Qing finished speaking and smiled at him, Xiao Bei also responded with a smile.

"Hmpf, he looks like a sly person, look at that smile..." Zhou Yue, who had been watching Xiao Bei, snorted when she saw him smile... On the stage, the drawing continued...

When it was Xiao Yun's turn to draw, everyone's attention was particularly focused. After all, Xiao Yun's rapid advancement from a Fifth Rank Later Heaven martial artist to an Eighth Rank Later Heaven martial artist was enough to shock everyone, as his speed of improvement far exceeded what normal people could imagine.

If it weren't for the presence of a genius like Xiao Bei, Xiao Yun would have already been taken away for study.

Especially, when Xiao Yun almost effortlessly defeated an Eighth Rank Later Heaven martial artist of the same level, many people were not only shocked but also realized that Xiao Yun might be able to challenge Xiao Bei, the most prominent genius of the Xiao family...
