Towards Eternity
Ch 422's. Second Selection Started!
Near the door of the rest room of the tournament participants, Yang Guang stood leaning against the wall and watched closely Wudi Ge who was sitting in the middle of the room.
While he was paying attention to it, Yang Guang's eyes suddenly shifted to the figure of the young man who dared to challenge him at the first selection round earlier.
The young man was seen sitting not far from the location of Wudi Ge, he was staring at Wudi Ge full of killing naps.
Yang Guang smiled mockingly at her, then turned his gaze back to where Weng Lou's group was.
"Weng Wan," he said, who then looked at each one of them.
"Young Master."
A participant wearing a robe covering his entire body walked up to Yang Guang, and lowered his head in respect to him.
Yang Guang stared at him for a moment, then looked back at Weng Lou's group.
"What's wrong?" Yang Guang asked the participant.
The participant immediately advanced and then passed a paper scroll to Yang Guang from behind his cloak.
Receiving the scroll, he began to open it and read the contents. His eyes continued to move, reading word by word written on the paper until he finally finished reading everything and with a single breath, the paper in his hand shattered into dust.
"They want me to hold my power in the next round from now on? Just be right! I took part in this Free Martial Tournament to test my strength, not the other way around!" Yang Guang said in an annoyed tone.
He looked at the participant who gave the paper roll and brought his face closer to it.
"You higher-ups, if they want me to hold back my strength, then just have them take part in this tournament! You hear?!"
The participant nodded in understanding, then then walked back and away from Yang Guang.
Yang Guang clicked his tongue watching the participant move away, then looked back at the group of Weng Lou.
But then, a dangerous aura appeared and he hurriedly put up a standby position. He stared at the surroundings and did not find the origin of the aura.
However, his gaze immediately came to a halt on the figure of a young man wearing dark red clothes with a golden lotus flower emblem on his back.
The young man sat quietly on the edge of the room. Yang Guang took a closer look at the young man, and discovered that the young man was staring at the Weng Ancestral Family group and the Weng Lou group.
"The young man, I've never seen him before. But that golden straight emblem looks familiar, where I've seen it well...."
Yang Guang tried to remember about the golden lotus emblem on the clothes worn by the young man, but after a few minutes, he did not remember it either.
The young man's gaze suddenly shifted to Yang Guang and made Yang Guang who was previously busy recalling the golden lotus emblem on the young man's clothes to look back at him.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, before Yang Guang finally chose to budge and averted his gaze.
"Damn the young man, his gaze contained absolutely no emotion, but his facial expression seemed to be ready to swallow me alive," muttered Yang Guang who sighed.

Back to the Weng Lou group.
Weng Lou who had been meditating for almost half an hour finally opened his eyes. The first thing he did after finishing meditating was to take out a package containing the grilled meat he had brought from the inn.
Without hesitation he started eating while Weng Wan who was nearby looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong?" asked Weng Lou who was astonished by Weng Wan who was looking at him like that.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just a little confused as to whether you can eat when we'll be in the second selection any minute."
Weng Lou blinked a few times before then turning his expression into confusion.
"You're stupid, huh? Did you forget that we will fight ninety-nine non-stop on the second selection? If you don't fill your stomach and store a lot of energy, you might get exhausted before you finish all the fights. At least put your brain on at times like these."
Weng Lou said that while shaking his head and sighing.
The only thing he had to do was to keep as much energy inside him as possible in order for him to be able to do that.
"Hey, how many did you bring?" asked Weng Wan who was already sitting next to Weng Lou.
"Quite a lot for all of us, eat as much as you want," replied Weng Lou who threw a piece of meat the size of an adult arm at Weng Wan.
Weng Wan caught him, and without much ado she started eating him.
The two of them continued to eat, until then one by one their group members also ate like the two of them. It certainly started from Weng Ying Luan, to even Jian Qiang.
Their group continued to eat regardless of the gazes of the other participants around them.
The smell of the grilled meat belonging to Weng Lou managed to attract the attention of all of them.
"They're these..."
"Did they not think they would be full when fighting later?"
"What did you say? Isn't that nice? We'll benefit if they're full later when fighting against us."
"You're right! We should thank them, hahahaha!!!"
One by one the participants began to laugh at the group of Weng Lou while the attention of Wudi Ge was also directed at the group Weng Lou.
"Hm? They are smart enough to know the main key of the second selection round later. It looks like I will get some pretty strong opponents later," Wudi Ge said with a small smile.
He then swung his hand and took out a small package containing a small jade bottle from his storage ring.
His hand quickly grabbed the jade bottle. He unscrewed the bottle, and took out a pill from it.
Without hesitation he put the pill in his mouth, and he swallowed it.
Gleck....
"Ah...but even so I prefer to eat this pill, in addition to being more filling, it also contains a lot of nutrients."
Wudi Ge then put the jade bottle back into his storage ring.

A few hours later passed, finally the time to rest was over, and the day was right at noon.
OHHHHH!!!
The sound of gongs was heard from the arena field.
The participants who were in the break room all immediately stood up when they heard the gong sound.
They all stared in one direction where the door they had previously passed was. One by one the participants started walking towards the door.
Before long, they were all back in the arena.
There is a change in the arena field where there are lines on the ground that divide the arena field into several parts.
Without any instruction at all, all the participants walked to the center of the field, and lined up neatly facing towards Zu Zhang who was hovering in the middle of the arena.
Zu Zhang looked at all of them and could not hide his smile.
After a while staring at all the participants, he then began to increase the height of himself floating, and facing towards the existing audience.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, audience!!!! The time of rest and preparation is over! Now, let's start, the second selection round!!!!"
