The first match had ended, Zhou Yi as some had expected would qualify, though, the young man escaped accompanied by a young man named Zhou Feng who looked to be 20 years old and his cultivation was the level of a 9-star novice fighter.
Ten more participants took the stage, after the third elder called the participants numbered 11 to 20, Zhou Han and Zhou Yin were one of the ten participants on the stage.
"Sister Yin do you want me to protect you." Temptation Zhou Han after knowing Zhou Yin was among the participants who would compete, who did not like a beautiful girl like Zhou Yin, moreover she was the daughter of the third elder.
Zhou Yin looked not so comfortable being near Zhou Han, he just smiled in response to the young man's remark, although Zhou Han was strong, it was his attitude that made the girl not so interested in the young man.
"Zhou Han is indeed strong, but his attitude is still better 'he'," he muttered inwardly.
Seeing Zhou Yin just smiling in response to his remark, Zhou Han came forward and said loudly, "Who wants to attack Zhou Yin, then step on me first," he said.
Everyone was shocked to hear Zhou Han's words, while Zhou Fan smiled sneering, "What a fool he is, if he says like that, is the other participants no one can pass this second match....,"
The participant who passes each match is 2 people, if Zhou Han wants to make sure Zhou Yin escapes and the other place is him, then the other participants will not get another chance, Zhou Fan thought.
One of the young men advanced while carrying a sword on his shoulder,
"Sad...Do we all have to give up without a fight if you've decided who got away" he said in a slightly raised tone.
"You are smart, come out quickly or I won't hesitate" Zhou Han told the young man.
"We're not just gonna give up!" Snapped the young man with the sword on his shoulder.
"Yes, he's right! You have to prove that your words aren't nonsense." The other participants also greeted the young man with a sword on his shoulder.
"Yes, you're right!"
"Count me too."
The youth with the sword on his shoulder smiled seeing the other participants supporting his actions,
Zhou Han laughed sneeringly looking at the participant who was intending to gang up on him,
"Even though you advance all along, you will not be able to defeat me, because what? Because you're weak!" Zhou Han said confidently.
The participants groaned furiously at Zhou Han's words, because the referee who was none other than the fourth elder had already started it, the eight participants attacked Zhou Han simultaneously.
Even though they won in numbers, their cultivation was on average at the level of an 8-star beginner fighter, the difference in his cultivation was very far, Zhou Han had now reached the level of a 3-star advanced fighter, already, to face a group of beginner fighters is not difficult for him.
Letting Zhou Han be busy with the other eight participants, Zhou Yin was only silent in the corner of the arena, from the start of the match he did not move at all.
"I'm giving up....."
"me too... "
After fighting a few moves, the eight of them could not urge even touching Zhou Han's clothes nor could they do, instead they were already injured by the nine sword techniques Zhou Han unleashed.
****
After Zhou Han and Zhou Yin were declared to have escaped, Zhou Yu passed the third match easily, he did not even move at all, all the participants did not dare to fight with Zhou Yu, he said, they prefer to fight each other for the one remaining place.
The fourth match was also over by evening, eight participants were eligible to proceed to the next round and earn a place to represent the Zhou clan in the Black Stone City tournament, for the other two the elders would negotiate who was worthy of the fallen participant to get the remaining two tickets.
The participants who did not qualify could still hope to get the two remaining tickets, although unable to proceed to the next round of the Zhou Clan's internal matches, they were very happy if they could get the two remaining tickets, though they could not continue to the next round of Zhou Clan's internal matches, they were very happy if they could get the two remaining tickets, since the black stone city tournament was their main objective following this internal match of the Zhou Clan.
Zhou Fan left his seat after seeing the large number of people who went out, indeed the match for today is over and will continue tomorrow morning.
As Zhou Fan exited the hall of the Zhou Clan, he saw a girl walking in front of him.
"Yin'er.." his words stopped when he saw the girl speeding up.
"Sad..." Zhou Fan only intended to greet her, but the girl instead sped up her pace.
Zhou Fan decided to go where he used to go, it was the most beautiful place according to him, but Zhou Fan had not been there for a long time, precisely when he was considered trash, he said, having spent too much time practicing Zhou Fan never visiting him again, Zhou Fan only remembered him when he saw the girl while exiting the hall of the Zhou Clan a moment ago.
It didn't take long, Zhou Fan was already on a hill. "Not changed, even after 8 years."
Zhou Fan was sitting on a large rock on the edge of the hill, he could see the beautiful scenery of the Jade village from the top of the hill, this hill was located some distance away from Zhou Fan's residence, even so Zhou Fan often played around this hill when he was a child first.
By accident Zhou Fan's eyes looked at a tree, on the tree was a cloth circular on the trunk, he recalled his childhood, so pleasant.
"If strength were not everything." - Zhou Fan murmured, if strength were not everything - no one would be so willing to leave a friend just because he did not have power.
"But it is impossible" he said again.
"I'm going to make some pills here, it doesn't seem like anyone will see." Zhou Fan saw the surrounding situation that was so quiet because it was already evening, even soon it would replace the sky completely.
Zhou Fan took out a few herbs to make a fourth level cultivation pill, although Zhou Fan was already a 3-star alchemist who could concoct pills to the sixth level, but to make a cultivation pill level five and above he was still unable to.
Unlike the first-rate cultivation pills, the fourth-tier cultivation pill required a few more herbal plant additions in addition to the ingredients of the first-rate cultivation pill, the difference between each level is that the pill will require several other additional herbs to make a higher level pill.
Like first-rate cultivation pills, the materials were chrysanthemum flowers, spiritual grass, silk wood and spirit flowers. And to make a second level cultivation pill requires all four ingredients above 'chrysanthemum flowers, spiritual grass, silk wood, spirit flowers' plus a spiral root, and, so on every rise one level requires one additional herbal plant, but it can not use all types of herbal plants, must be in accordance with the pill recipe to be made.
"Finally done, jug..," Zhou Fan suddenly felt that someone was watching him, he checked the surroundings, he checked, Zhou Fan stopped his gaze as he stared at a large tree not far from where he was.
"Who's there, get out!"
