Zhang Tiannan was stunned by Ye Xingchen's slap.
"You dare to hit me!"
Zhang Tiannan's eyes were red, and he looked at Ye Xingchen in disbelief.
"I told you to get lost, didn't you hear?"
Ye Xingchen couldn't care about anything else. He had to maintain a good image in front of Su Fan and not make an enemy of him.
"Fine! You are very good!"
Zhang Tiannan knew he was no match for Ye Xingchen, so he could only temporarily suffer this indignity. He turned and left with a gloomy expression.
However, he was already planning to find his brother to avenge him.
After Ye Xingchen drove Zhang Tiannan away, he turned to talk to Su Fan, but was shocked to find that Su Fan was no longer behind him.
Su Fan had already left while they were arguing.
Soon, Su Fan found Dongfang Tingyin.
"You were kicked out? What did you do to anger Yutong?"
Dongfang Tingyin knew Su Yutong well. She had a good temper and wouldn't get angry under normal circumstances.
Su Fan must have done something that angered everyone.
"Never mind, help me find a room to rest. Notify me when the competition starts."
Su Fan said awkwardly to Dongfang Tingyin.
He didn't want Dongfang Tingyin to laugh at him.
Afterward, Dongfang Tingyin found an empty room for Su Fan to rest in, not far from Su Yutong's room.
Dongfang Tingyin's arrangement was quite thoughtful.
After resting for a day, the exchange competition officially began.
The exchange competition was divided into three groups. The first group was for civilian martial artists. The winners could continue to the next stage of the exchange competition, and two people would be selected to advance.
The second group was a competition for the younger generation of sects and families, and four people would be selected to advance.
Finally, there was the decisive battle, where six people would compete simultaneously. The ultimate winner would receive a reward from the Martial Alliance.
Su Fan sat in the front row of the audience.
As a sponsor, Su Fan naturally had the right to choose the best viewing spot.
Su Yutong had already gone backstage to prepare. The invitation letter that Fang Tongzi gave to Su Yutong was one of the invitations distributed to civilian martial artists, so Su Yutong had to participate in the first match and break through the crowd of contestants.
"Group one, match one, please welcome the first ten contestants!"
There were a hundred contestants in the first group. Ten people per match meant ten matches, mainly because there were indeed many civilian martial artists, especially after the establishment of the Martial Alliance.
Even so, there were still eleven matches to be played.
The first ten matches would determine the winners of each round, and in the final match, the ten winners would compete on stage simultaneously to determine the last two qualifying spots.
"They are, Xu Lang from the capital, Li Fu from Shanghai, Su Yutong from Xincheng, and..."
The host read out the names of the contestants on stage one by one, holding the script in his hand.
Su Yutong was in the first match.
Su Fan's previously listless expression immediately became spirited.
He found this level of competition uninteresting, but watching Su Yutong was different. He really wanted to see how much Su Yutong had improved in her cultivation recently.
He hoped she hadn't neglected practical combat while focusing on her cultivation realm.
At this moment, Su Yutong was full of excitement and anticipation.
It was her first time participating in such an event, and she was so excited!
The venue was divided into a large circular platform. Although it was temporarily built, it was made of steel bars and steel plates, so its stability was absolutely fine.
The strength of the contestants present was not enough to cause widespread destruction to the venue. Even if there was some damage, the on-site staff could quickly repair it.
Ten people stood at different positions on the circular field, warily observing their opponents.
They were all waiting for the other party to make the first move so they could find an opportunity to strike.
As it was an exchange competition, weapons were not allowed, and all contestants fought bare-handed.
"Group one, match one, begins now!"
With the host's command, the competition officially started.
However, no one made any move, and they all cautiously observed their opponents.
It was a free-for-all among ten people. A moment of carelessness could lead to a sneak attack, so they had to be careful.
Su Yutong was a little confused. It had started, but why wasn't anyone fighting?
"Why aren't you moving? If you don't move, I will!"
Su Yutong suddenly said to the other nine contestants.
Su Yutong's words immediately drew the attention of the other contestants. Unsurprisingly, she became the focus of the arena.
Su Fan slapped his forehead. As expected, she hadn't experienced the harshness of the world. In such a tense atmosphere, Su Yutong's opening statement made her a target of everyone. Everyone would notice Su Yutong, and any move she made would be discovered, and she might even become the first target of others.
Seeing that no one was still moving, Su Yutong couldn't help but want to make a move.
Her hands were itching for a fight.
"Here I come, be careful!"
Su Yutong randomly chose the closest opponent, pushed off with her feet, and instantly charged towards them.
The opponent was startled.
So fast!
Su Yutong instantly reached the opponent. It was her first time fighting a stranger, and she didn't hold back. She struck the opponent's chest with a palm.
The opponent didn't even have time to react. In an instant, they flew out of the arena like a cannonball, almost hitting the audience.
The few spectators in the front row, scared, quickly ran backward.
"Damn it! Didn't you organizers provide adequate safety facilities? You scared me to death!"
One person said, patting his chest with lingering fear.
The audience was shocked, the host was shocked, the contestants were shocked, and Su Yutong was also shocked.
Su Fan was speechless.
He had overlooked Su Yutong's cultivation realm. With her current realm, she was a crushing force among contestants whose average strength was only at the early stage of the Dongming realm.
"Ohhhh!"
Soon, the first to react were the spectators, who let out a collective roar of excitement.
What were they here to see? Of course, it was a fight with powerful blows.
Su Yutong's move truly struck a chord with them.
"Goddess! You are my god!"
The audience was instantly won over by Su Yutong's palm strike. Some even shouted loudly, "You are my god!"
Su Yutong was a little dazed. She looked at her palm with confusion.
I didn't use much strength just now...
Su Yutong didn't understand how the opponent flew out.
Seeing this scene, the other contestants instinctively moved further away from Su Yutong.
"Big sister, can you just rest? We'll decide the outcome among ourselves. You don't need to make a move!"
One of them said to Su Yutong with fear in his eyes.
The gap in strength was too great. Who among them was a match for her? It was better to give up one spot and not let Su Yutong participate, so they could still compete based on their own strength.
"This... is this okay?"
Su Yutong said hesitantly.
She felt that getting something for nothing was not good. She wouldn't feel comfortable with a ranking she hadn't earned through her own efforts.
Most importantly, she wanted to see how many people she could defeat.
