Chapter 21 Advancing to the Second Round

Haha, did you guys hear that? Yvonne actually supported that piece of trash, Stephan?"

"That's right. How can Stephan possibly defeat Hugo?"

"Hugo is a real warrior at the sixth level of the Refinement Realm. How could he be defeated by Stephan?"

Ignoring the comments from the audience, Stephan stared at Hugo carefully. Hugo also stared at Stephan.

"Stephan."

"Hugo."

After protecting each other's names, the two of them began to use the spiritual power within their dantians to wrap themselves around their bodies and start fighting.

"Shatter Fist!" Stephan bellowed, clenching his fists tightly. He charged at Hugo like a leopard.

The Spiritual Qi in the air was chaotic, and their momentum was very strong.

Unwilling to be outdone, Hugo used his strongest attack and attacked Stephan.

On the martial practice platform, the energy exploded out of the two of them and wreaked havoc on it. The slightly trembling platform seemed to be on the verge of shattering in the next moment. Stephan's fist was filled with coldness, but not a single bit of energy leaked out.

Hugo suddenly said, "Receive one of my attacks. Fire Dragon Illuminates the Heavens."

Stephan did not move. He shifted his feet, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. His entire being seemed to blend into heaven and earth. His eyes were filled with pride, making Hugo feel a kind of indescribable calmness. At this moment, the energy and momentum of both sides changed and became light. For some reason, the whole scene became quiet, including the members of the Yeager Family in the square. This silence seemed to be telling something or brewing in silence.

Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze. In the next moment, Stephan made his move!

"Shatter Fist."

As he spoke, his hand didn't slow down at all. Stephan's fist instantly transformed into a finger as he carefully examined Stephan's fist. Although it was enveloped by spiritual energy, there was no energy that flowed out, and there were only layers of flowing energy and undercurrents.

Just when Hugo takes a deep breath and is about to attack, an extremely dazzling light suddenly shoots out from Stephan's right fist.

Hugo's eyes suddenly turned white, but he did not feel perturbed in his heart. Stephan's right fist let out a soft hum, as if to cater to the attack that his master was ready to launch. With the soft hum, the light on his right index finger became brighter and brighter. At this time, the sky changed again. The sky was clear for thousands of miles, but in an instant, it was covered by a dense layer of dark clouds from nowhere.

Hugo's body began to move and spin abruptly. However, Stephan's eyes remained slightly shut, not moving in the slightest. The old monk seemed to have entered a meditative state, ignoring the rest of the world, but his expression seemed to be conversing with the world. The world trembled slightly, but his heart remained calm. The dark clouds in the sky did not seem to calm down at all, as if they were showing off its restlessness.

Yvonne, Martin, and the rest clenched their hands by the side of the square. Their eyes did not blink as they watched the two people standing opposite each other on the training ground. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten to breathe. However, they were still able to sense the suffocating atmosphere when the battle had just begun. The expressions on their faces did not change even a little. These two tender faces seemed to be narrating their youth and desire.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning shone through the black clouds in the sky. Then, another bolt of lightning struck down. Following that, tens of millions of bolts of lightning landed on Hugo's spinning body. This was what it meant by a fire dragon illuminating the sky.

"Not bad, but I don't need to go all out to deal with you," Stephan opened his eyes and said softly. In the next moment, a strong wind blew and spiritual energy swirled around him. The rumbling thunder grew more intense.

Hugo moved and met the dazzling light on Stephan's right fist. With the momentum of the wind and rain, he borrowed the power of the thunder and stopped spinning. He clenched his fists tightly, and with the power of fire, threw out a punch. There was no light from the punch, no strong wind, only dominating spirit energy!

Stephan circulated the spiritual power in his body and concentrated it on the fist of his right hand. In the next instant, the flow of spiritual power could no longer be seen in the fist of his right hand. One, two, three... five tangible fist radiances left his fist in a row. A total of five powerful energy fist radiances blasted towards Hugo.

At the same time that the five energy fist radiance blasted towards Hugo, the light expanded once again, transforming into five huge energy fists that smashed down with full power. Just as they were about to touch Hugo's fist, the five huge energy fists once again merged into one. Hugo's eyes contracted and his body abruptly stopped attacking. In the next moment, he moved several meters in the air without warning.

Looking at Hugo's evasive body, a faint smile appeared on Stephan's face. This was the effect he was looking for.

Hugo's flashing body did not stop in the slightest. His fist was still simply thrown out, but the surroundings of his fist were filled with the power of raging fire. Within his attack, the sound of raging fire could be heard and it was extremely ferocious.

Stephan clenched both his hands as if he hadn't seen anything. He stretched out his right fist and abruptly flung it downwards. The spirit energy in Hugo's arms split into two parts and transformed into an invisible force, condensing all of the power of fire around him. They transformed into dots of light that swept towards the giant energy fist. From a distance, it looked like a moth darting into a flame, but it was being battered and whittled away by the impact. Finally, the fiery red of the fist slowly dimmed and disappeared.

At that instant, everyone on the plaza forgot everything as they stared at the martial stage. They wanted to know who would win.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the dust on the stage dispersed and two figures stood on top of the stage.

At this moment, Ye Qingshan didn't know who won. The next moment, Hugo sighed, and the blood in his chest surged. He immediately spat out vermilion blood, and the blood spurted out like plum blossoms blooming suddenly.

"That shouldn't be the extent of your strength, right? You're hiding your strength." Hugo didn't feel dejected just because she lost the match. "I'll definitely work hard. I'll definitely defeat you next time."

"You're welcome at any time." Stephan also smiled. In fact, he could easily win the game, but he was preserving his strength and did not want Bonnie and others to know his real trump card.

However, Stephan still admired Hugo's mentality. She was neither arrogant nor discouraged. This was the most important mentality for a martial artist.

"Stephan wins." After a brief moment of shock, Ye Qingshan announced the answer.

"Ah, how is this possible? How can Stephan win?"

"Impossible, Stephan can't have won for sure. Cheating, he must have cheated."

"Did Stephan also advance to the sixth level of Refinement?"

The audience was full of disbelief, while Wilson's face was pale. In the battle against Hugo, at most, they were neck and neck, but Stephan actually defeated Hugo with one blow, which he could not accept.

"I underestimated you. You actually broke through." Bonnie also looked at Stephan with interest.

Stephan had won the first round and smoothly advanced into the second round.

The second battle was between Zoila and a fifth-level Body Refining Realm Yeager Family member. There was no doubt that she had easily defeated her opponent and advanced to the second round.

The third match was Wilson and a martial artist at Lv 6 of the Refinement Realm.

In the end, Wilson relied on his trump card to defeat his opponent, and he advanced to the second round with great difficulty.

The fourth match was between Lin Yvonnen, who was at the sixth level of Refinement, and Wilson, who was at the seventh level of Refinement.

Wilson made it to the second round with great strength. So far, four people had made it to the second round.

And Bonnie, the focus of attention, was finally about to come on stage.

Bonnie was at the 8th level of Refinement, and his opponent was a warrior at the 5th level of Refinement. The gap between the two was too big.

Everyone knew what the result was, but they still wanted to see Bonnie fight.

"Ha ha, I don't think there will be any suspense in this battle. But we have all underestimated Stephan." On the rostrum, Patriarch Maxwell said meaningfully.

On the martial field, everyone originally thought that they would be able to see Bonnie take action. However, they never thought that Bonnie's opponent would actually admit defeat, causing them to be extremely helpless.

However, there was no other way. With Bonnie's strength, even if he forced himself to do it, he would only humiliate himself.

"Bonniesheng wins." Ye Qingshan announced the result of the competition.

At this point, the first round of the Yeager Family Competition had been completed. Next was the second round of the competition.

According to the rules, the second round would be held tomorrow. But today, they would draw lots first to see who would be free in the second round.

The five winners of the first round were Bonnie, Zoila, Wilson, Wilson, and Stephen.

Wilson and Stephen were both at the sixth level of Refinement, Zoila and Wilson were at the seventh, and only Bonnie was at the eighth.

"Next, the five winners will go on the stage to draw lots." After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, the five people went on the stage to draw lots.

The five drew lots one by one. When Stephan opened his stick, he was delighted to see that it was an empty stick.

"The draw for the second round is over. The No. 1 Bonnie vs. the No. 4 Wilson, the No. 2 Zoila vs. Wilson, the No. 3 Wilson, Stephan, advance directly to the finals." Ye Qingshan announced.

"Huh? How did Stephan make it to the finals?"

"How is this possible? How could he be so lucky as to bump into Stephan and advance to the finals?"

"That's right. This is simply too unreasonable."

Although many people were not convinced, they had no choice. This was the rule of the Yeager Family's 100-year competition, which could not be broken, and even Bonnie could not say anything about it. He glared at Stephan fiercely and walked out of the square.

The first day of the Yeager Family Competition passed easily. In the evening, Tyler called Stephan to his study.

"Stephan, tell me honestly, how strong are you now?" Tyler asked in a low voice. During the day, Stephan had shocked him a lot.

"I broke through to the seventh level of Refinement a few days ago," Stephan replied honestly.

"Hmm? Your... your cultivation speed?" Tyler couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Stephan has actually cultivated to the 7th level of the Refinement Realm, but Tyler came to an understanding soon after. Stephan's cultivation speed is good, but it's also good for the Yeager Clan.

"Stephan, you must practice hard. The Yeager Family will rely on you in the future."
