Southern Huaxia Sect's Fang Yuan vs. Northern Hehuan Sect's Cao Ci.

Southern Huaxia Sect's Chen Shaocong vs. Northern Hehuan Sect's Liu Meiqing.
...
A list of match information was laid out, with the name Hua Xia Sect being extremely conspicuous.
Aside from a few people in the Hehuan Sect in the North who knew the situation, the other sects were hearing the name Hua Xia Sect for the first time.
"What is the Southern Region doing? Are they sending the Hua Xia Sect to their deaths?"
"In previous years, the North always took the lead. It seems the South has already decided to give up."
"Looking at their cultivation, they are all just a group of Foundation Establishment Stage and early Golden Core Stage cultivators. Can such cultivation levels advance to the top hundred? Is the Southern Region out of people?"
Facing the North's skepticism, the many disciples from the Southern Region sneered, "Don't bite off your tongue later! This time, the Hua Xia Sect will represent the South and stomp all over your North!"
"Hahaha, just with these few crooked gourds and cracked dates? That's truly laughable."
"Don't be in a hurry. I hope you can still laugh later."
The Southern Region, which was originally lifeless, was provoked by the Northerners and immediately placed their hopes on the Hua Xia Sect members.
"Go Hua Xia Sect! Senior Sister Luo must win!"
"Zhao Shijie must win!"
"Go, little Xia Ling! Senior Sister is rooting for you!"
"Go, Senior Brother Li Taibai! If you win, this immortal will be your Dao companion!"
"Go, Fang Yuan! You're the best!"
"Senior Brother Lin Ting, you must bring honor to our South!"
"Sun Yiyi, twist their heads off for me!"
After a series of shouts, the Southern Region became highly passionate, with many people joining in and shouting in unison.
Luo Xi and the others had never seen such a spectacle. With both sides combined, there were nearly two hundred thousand people, and the sound waves resounded through the sky.
A sense of responsibility inexplicably emerged in their hearts.
"Brothers and sisters, glory belongs to the Southern Huaxia Sect! Xian Ge said, just let loose and go for it!" Fang Yuan roared and was the first to rush into the arena.
A hint of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the others, and they all took a step forward, appearing in different battlefields.
"Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!"
As soon as Li Taibai entered the battlefield, he immediately pointed his fingers like a sword. Dense sword qi crisscrossed, forming a proud phoenix that whistled towards his opponent.
The speed was so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye.
The opponent didn't even have time to use a Dao technique, and his entire body was cut into countless pieces by the sword qi, blood splattering across the arena.

...
Luo Xi's steps brought forth lotuses. She grabbed at the void, and all the nearby spiritual energy began to boil, gathering into her hand.
"Go!"
A purple lotus slowly flew towards her opponent.
Zhang Kaiping originally wanted to use a Dao technique to block, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't move at all.
Even more terrifying was that the seemingly ordinary purple lotus, as it approached, made him realize just how terrifying the energy contained within it was.
"Stop, I surrender, I surrender!"
As soon as his voice fell, the purple lotus immediately disappeared.
"Hoo..." Zhang Kaiping exhaled a long breath, feeling as if he had walked a circle around the gates of hell.

...
Fang Yuan, who had just entered the arena, saw Cao Ci and his eyes immediately turned red.
Facing Cao Ci, who had almost burst his chrysanthemum before, Fang Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred. He immediately prepared to use the Demon Flame Seven Absolute Blades, determined to hack this bastard to death.
But just as he made a move, Cao Ci immediately raised both hands high, "Surrender, I surrender!"
"Holy crap, I'm still going to hack you to death even if you surrender!"
Fang Yuan ignored him and rushed forward with his blade raised.
"Junior Brother Fang, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Cao Ci was so scared his soul nearly left his body, and he ran frantically around the arena.
"Misunderstanding your ass! Take a slice from me, I'll stab you to death, you scumbag!"
Fortunately, at this moment, both of them were ejected from the match, and Cao Ci's life was saved.

...
All the sect elders present paid special attention to Xia Ling's match.
Eight-year-old Golden Core Stage, Chaos Body.
These two labels together were enough to explain everything.
To describe Xia Ling as a genius seemed to be a blasphemy to her.
Some sect masters in the North had already started having ulterior motives and began inquiring about Xia Ling's information.
Unfortunately, no one knew, only that she came from the Hua Xia Sect and was Chu Huaian's personal disciple.
Xia Ling's fighting style was quite direct. She just randomly poked her finger in the void, and then her opponent mysteriously had several bloodied holes on his body.

...
All those on whom the South had placed high hopes, without exception, all advanced.
The Northern Region lost more than seventy people in the first battle, almost all of them falling to the Hua Xia Sect.
The Northern Region, which had been so boisterous just now, was now terrifyingly silent.
In contrast, the Southern Region's faces all showed expressions of triumph.
"Shout, keep shouting, why aren't you shouting anymore? Do you not like talking?"
"Now you know the strength of the Hua Xia Sect, don't you? A bunch of idiots, don't you think that those who stand out from a hundred thousand disciples are not ordinary people?"
"What's there to be proud of? The North still has over thirty geniuses. The outcome is not yet decided, and it's still unknown who will win!"
"Isn't it just a bit of good luck? Senior Brother Duan Que of the Limitless Sect can easily beat your entire Southern Region!"
"I admit the Hua Xia Sect is strong, but to think of defeating the Northern Heavenly Talents with just early Golden Core Stage cultivation? That's a fool's dream, isn't it?"
Amidst the mutual insults, the second round of matches began again.
Due to the insufficient number of people in the Northern Region, the surplus people in the Southern Region were matched against each other.
As the sect with more advancing members, one-third of the Hua Xia Sect's members were matched against their own people.
When those players were in the Hua Xia Sect, they had all sparred with each other, and they had a clear understanding of who was strong and who was weak, so they could only curse and admit defeat.
The second round of matches attracted everyone's attention: Lin Ting vs. Duan Que, and Li Taibai vs. Hua Wudao.
Previously, Hua Wudao had killed a member of the Hua Xia Sect, which put him on the blacklist of many players.
Although Li Taibai had a calm nature, he kept the matter of revenge firmly in his heart.
This time, he exchanged a spirit sword from the mall and was fully prepared to go all out.
On the other side, Hua Wudao's face showed a solemn expression as he took out a folding fan from his storage ring.
Neither of them had used weapons before, which indicated that both sides took this battle very seriously.
Li Taibai controlled his flying sword with his mind, and with a raised hand, he conjured dozens of flying swords.
"Go!"
The flying swords lined up, their sword qi piercing through the air, emitting bursts of sword cries.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Facing the surging flying swords, Hua Wudao formed a hand seal with one hand, and the folding fan in his hand emitted ripples, colliding with countless flying swords.
Hua Wudao took a step back, and the folding fan in his hand floated into the air, growing larger with the wind.
"Mountains and Rivers Annihilation!"
As the folding fan unfurled, the painting of a thousand-mile landscape on its surface actually materialized and crashed down towards Li Taibai.
Li Taibai's long robes fluttered, his pupils turned into two spirit swords, his feet moved erratically, and he chanted:
"Spirit piercing the rainbow, mind condensing the great void, feet treading the Xun position, sword guiding the Li pivot."
"Three inches of cold light produce white lightning, seven feet of azure blade sever the dragon's body."
"Flipping the wrist to carry the momentum of the vast sea, splitting the sea and opening mountains, ten thousand waves silenced."
Bursts of sword cries resounded throughout the entire arena, and a beam of sword qi shot straight into the sky.
"Sword Heart Transparence. One Sword Sunders Mountains and Rivers!"
Bang—
Wherever the sword light passed, mountains and rivers were split in half.
