My Brother's the Protagonist? Good Thing I Awakened My System! - Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Dragon and Phoenix Competition – Second Round Ends
“Was Han Xu so weak?”

“… I don’t think so. He is in the Top Grand Qi Condensation Realm and is said to have the potential to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“Then why did I think he was so weak? Feng Yun didn’t even seem to take the fight seriously. Just look at his expression.”

“Feng Yun is just too strong. Who could have expected that Feng Yun would be so overwhelmingly strong? He must be at the very peak of the Grand Qi Condensation Realm!”

“Damn! Could it be that Feng Yun can really defeat Ling Meiyu?”

“Stop the bullsh*t! Don’t compare Ling Meiyu with a weakling like Han Xu. She is in a different league!”

…

The people couldn’t make out just how Feng Yun was able to overwhelm Han Xu without using any powerful skills himself.

In the Mystic Flame Sect’s VIP area, the other participants, except Ling Meiyu and Yuan Ziyan, couldn’t believe their eyes.

“What? How could Senior Brother lose so easily?”

“T-This can’t be! This Feng Yun must have used some underhanded method. There is no other explanation otherwise.”‘

“How cowardly! This Feng Yun must be relying on some artifact or something.”

They couldn’t believe the result even after witnessing the whole ordeal with their own eyes.

Their third strongest was defeated so easily by someone that they considered trash.

Their sect had always labeled Feng Yun as ‘Trash’ and someone who was a toad wishing to eat swan’s meat.

Even after all the achievements that Feng Yun has made, Mystic Flame Sect still refuses to change their opinion and thinks that the outside world was exaggerating things like always and that any of their disciples could defeat Feng Yun easily.

But now Feng Yun has proven them wrong by defeating their third strongest participant.

However, the one who found it most unbelievable was the one who was in the arena with his face facing the ground.

“H-How can this be?”

Han Xu muttered with disbelief all over his face.

Han Xu raised his face and glared at the man who he had always considered trash.

However, Feng Yun was no longer there and had already gone back to Feng Clan’s VIP room.

There was no gloating, no trash talking, or insulting.

Feng Yun’s disinterest was due to the fact that he was confident in his victory and there wasn’t any need to be excited about things that are inevitable.

“Participant Han Xu, can you leave the arena? We need to start the next match!”

The Referee asked, albeit a bit politely, as he knew who Han Xu was.

Han Xu wasn’t injured by Feng Yun, so there was no need to call for a medic as well.

But it seemed like the result was too shocking for him to accept, and he was frozen in his place.

Of course, it didn’t take long for someone from the Han Clan to come and take Han Xu away.

“Young master, please come this way!”

A servant of Han Xu said as he supported Han Xu and escorted him out of the arena.

Otherwise, if he stayed frozen in the arena like this, it could affect Han Clan’s reputation which by the way already took a hit.

Han Xu silently walked, and his mind didn’t seem to be present.

Elder Chi shook her head as she watched Han Xu.

Although Han Xu’s talent was undeniable, it can be said that his mentality was not good at all.

Otherwise, how could he break down because of just one loss?

Elder Chi was disappointed by Han Xu’s mentality. To grow, she believes that it is important to take every loss as a lesson.

Anyway, after Han Xu was escorted out, the next match began without much problem.

The next round wasn’t too interesting considering the participants were in the Core Formation Stage, and just before this was a match between Feng Yun and Han Xu.

Compared to the power displayed by Han Xu, the participants of this round seemed too lacking.

However, the next match reignited their excitement as Ling Meiyu’s name was announced.

The only thing was her opponent was in the Core Formation Stage, and anyone could tell the result.

Ling Meiyu’s opponent didn’t give up and entered the arena with nervousness.

She seemed to take this opportunity to learn from the number one genius of the Azure Sky Empire.

Though, obviously, she couldn’t even defend against Ling Meiyu’s one attack.

The match ended as soon as it began!

The last two matches after this also ended pretty quickly, and the second round has come to an end.

By the end of the second round, it seems like the List of Top 100 Dragon and Phoenix has also been made and published.

Of course, the ranking will keep on changing until the competition ends, though for the last 40 or so ranked geniuses, it will remain the same as they are already eliminated.

The Top was no surprise, with Ling Meiyu firmly in that position.

The second was Gao Mingrui.

Although he couldn’t show much in the competition, it was undeniable that he was a powerful genius with many achievements to his name, and he was kept in the second position for now.

The third on the list was Feng Yun, and it was all due to his performance in the competition.

With how he won against Han Xu, it wasn’t a surprise for him to be in the Top Three, though there were many who didn’t think so.

Although they wanted to complain about the ranking, what could they do? The officials who made it were from the Imperial Family, and they also knew that this ranking was just temporary.

Then there were other geniuses from sects and top clans from the Capital.

The only other person from the Feng Clan who also managed to be in the Top 10 was Feng Mei.

With her performance in the second round, it wasn’t too surprising for her to be in the Top 10 as well.

Apart from her, other Feng Clan participants were mostly in their 30s and 40s, and it is mostly because they didn’t have a strong enough opponent to showcase their power.

In any case, all the Feng Clan’s participants were able to get into the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, which itself was a difficult task, not to mention that two of them were in the Top 10.

Of course, this was temporary, and it can change as the competition progresses, but it was still the result of their performance.

The atmosphere in the Feng Clan’s camp was filled with excitement and satisfaction.

However, they weren’t about to celebrate just yet.

The competition was still ongoing, and they needed to remain vigilant.

Their focus should be to get as high a rank as possible and, most importantly, to defeat Ling Meiyu.

The Third Round also began with enthusiasm, with many discussing the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.

Some agreed that the ranking was good, while others argued that the list wasn’t really accurate.

There were a total of 64 participants left for the Third Round, with almost half of the participants being in the Core Formation Stage and the other half in the Grand Qi Condensation Realm.

Till now, there wasn’t any match where a Core Formation Stage cultivator was able to defeat a Grand Qi Condensation Realm participant, though some did push them to their limit.

However, this was expected as there was a big difference between the two realms.

In any case, more clashes between the Grand Qi Condensation Realm participants were expected in the Third Round, though lucky ones would get a Core Formation Stage cultivator as their opponent.

The first match featured a young genius from the Mystic Flame Sect, Yuan Ziyan, against a promising Core Formation cultivator from a lesser-known clan.

Despite the latter’s determination, the gap in their cultivation realms was insurmountable.

Yuan Ziyan’s attacks overwhelmed her opponent, forcing an early surrender.

The crowd cheered, though some murmured that the outcome had been predictable.

The subsequent matches unfolded one after another, with each participant giving their utmost effort.

It can be said that the participants of the third round were all powerful, and even those in the Core Formation Stage were giving trouble to some of the Grand Qi Condensation Realm participants.

But it was all good for the audience, who loved the high-tension matches.

The participants did not disappoint, showcasing a variety of powerful techniques and revealing their true strength.

Though, it wasn’t until the 7th round that a participant from the Feng Clan was called.

It was Feng Liang!

And the opponent he got was Gao Mingrui!

“Feng Liang of the Feng Clan vs. Gao Mingrui of the Spirit Wind Palace!”
