However, his opponent had already conceded, so he couldn’t just rush over and continue attacking. He deeply regretted not summoning his mount. Yang Wenzhao secretly vowed that he wouldn’t hold back in the following matches and would summon his mount to go all out. Looking at his charred body, his heart, like the previous Holy Knight Commander Han Qian, was bleeding… “Yang Wenzhao versus Bai Xiaomo, Yang Wenzhao wins, advancing to the top eight.”

The referee’s announcement rang out, ending the first match.

Although the female summoner Bai Xiaomo lost, her peculiar fighting style left a deep impression on everyone present. Any discerning person could see that Bai Xiaomo’s plant summoning had extremely strong crowd control abilities. Having such a teammate, whether in group battles or duels, would be the best help. What’s more, she was only at the fourth rank! She had already made the fifth-rank Yang Wenzhao so embarrassed. What would happen when she reached the fifth rank? No one knew how powerful she would become.

The very first match of the round of sixteen was enough to shock all the participating observers. The dissatisfaction in the hearts of those who failed to qualify also faded a lot. However, the second match that followed was a bit disappointing.

The second match featured Li Xin and her younger brother, Long Haochen. They didn’t even fight. As soon as she entered the arena, Li Xin told the referee that she was conceding.

Such a situation was quite rare in the past Hunting Demon Squad Selection Tournament’s round of sixteen. After all, it was very difficult to get this far. Every step forward could be said to improve one’s status in the Alliance’s Hunting Demon Squads. Even if they felt their strength was inferior to their opponent, most would choose to fight it out. However, the rules didn’t prohibit conceding, so the referee could only announce Long Haochen’s victory and advancement to the top eight.

Han Qian on the rostrum was quite satisfied with Li Xin’s concession. At least she didn’t exhaust Long Haochen’s strength. The following matches were still held daily. If too much strength was consumed in the previous day’s match, it would obviously affect the following match.

Li Xin’s concession in the second match did not affect the excitement of today’s matches. The next four matches were all wonderful, with no one giving up easily until the very last moment. The winning side also had to pay a price. After all, the strength difference between the participants who could reach this point was not too great.

“Cai’er, it’s your turn.” Long Haochen nervously held Cai’er’s small hand.

Cai’er nodded lightly and said in a low voice, “I’ll be fine.” Long Haochen wanted to escort her all the way to the arena, but Cai’er refused. Holding her Green Bamboo Staff, she slowly walked towards the trial field alone.

Seeing the blind girl Cai’er enter the arena, the observers had mixed feelings, basically divided into two opposite factions. One faction was naturally full of doubts. How could a girl who couldn’t see even enter the top sixteen? The other faction was filled with tension and excitement, because they were the people who had witnessed Cai’er’s great strength. Especially those assassins from the Assassin Temple, who even cheered.

Based on her strong performance in the preliminary round, Cai’er had already gained the recognition of all of them.

Slowly walking into the arena, Cai’er slowly stood still. Her opponent had not encountered her in the previous matches and immediately showed some doubt and incomprehension in his eyes.

Is this girl from the Assassin Temple?

Cai’er’s opponent was a young man of about twenty, of medium build, holding a brown-red magic staff. He was the other fourth-rank Grand Summoner from the Soul Temple who had entered the top sixteen.

In the previous matches, the Soul Temple performed well. Although Bai Xiaomo failed to qualify, she made Yang Wenzhao, who was likely to challenge for the top spot in this Challenge Tournament, very embarrassed. Another fifth-rank Beast Controller entered the top eight relatively easily. The person in front of him was the last Soul Temple disciple to appear today.

“Assassin Temple Cai’er, versus Soul Temple Fang Zhu. Due to the nature of the profession, both sides keep a distance of forty meters, and four pillars rise in the arena. Both sides prepare.”

As the referee announced, four thick pillars slowly rose from the ground, and Cai’er and the summoner named Fang Zhu also slowly retreated, until they were forty meters apart.

At this moment, no one was more nervous than Long Haochen in the rest area. He nervously watched the situation in the arena, wishing he could rush up and replace Cai’er in the competition.

Li Xin looked at his appearance and couldn’t help but smile, “Silly boy, don’t be so nervous, don’t worry, nothing will happen. I’ve seen Cai’er’s strength, I’m afraid even you may not be able to beat her. Just wait and see.”

“Okay.” Long Haochen replied, but in fact, he didn’t hear Li Xin’s words at all. When one cares deeply, one is confused. No matter what others said, the tension in his heart would not lessen by half. He was just constantly thinking, Cai’er can’t see! And she’s so weak, what if she gets hurt?

Long Haochen had already decided that if Cai’er was injured by the opponent, even if it violated the rules of the competition, he would immediately rush in to help her heal. Silently, he had already begun to prepare the Holy Light Barrier.

“Match start.”

With the referee’s announcement, the seventh match of the round of sixteen officially began.

Although Fang Zhu had never met Cai’er, he did not underestimate his opponent because she was a blind girl. Being able to get here with a fourth-rank cultivation base was not just about strength. His will was also firm and cautious.

With his brown-red staff pointing forward, a clear bird song rang out, and a large bird about one meter tall, with a body that appeared to be cyan, flew out of the air.

This was a summoning without any incantations. It seemed that this summoning magic should have its image stored in his staff. This alone showed that his staff was at least a Spirit-tier equipment.

The cyan bird soared into the air and flew rapidly towards Cai’er, and a faint cyan light lit up from its body.

The moment the referee announced the start of the match, Cai’er walked towards her opponent holding her Green Bamboo Staff. Her speed was not fast, no different from her usual walking. The Green Bamboo Staff gently touched the ground, moving forward slowly, with her aura completely restrained, looking like an ordinary blind girl taking a walk.

The Green Bamboo Staff did not make a sound when it touched the yellow soil, only leaving simple depressions.

After releasing the cyan bird, Fang Zhu had already begun to chant incantations in a rapid voice. The incantations of summoners are different from those of mages. Their incantations are often faster, requiring frequency rather than the rhythm of mages. A low and powerful incantation sounded urgently, and the brown-red staff in his hand also became brighter and brighter, and a beast-like strong aura was constantly spreading from the staff.

Cai’er had only walked ten meters when the cyan bird had already reached above her head and swooped down towards Cai’er in an instant. With its wings spread, in the ear-piercing scream, two wind blades, each one meter wide, slashed towards Cai’er.

Cai’er’s forward pace did not stop, still walking slowly. Long Haochen almost exclaimed in the rest area.

Just as the two wind blades were about to hit Cai’er’s body, a strange situation occurred.

Cai’er didn’t seem to do anything. Just at that moment, her body became illusory for a moment. Then, the two wind blades actually passed through her body, and with two “puffs” sounds, they slammed into the ground behind her, leaving two deep depressions.

Also at this moment, the Green Bamboo Staff in Cai’er’s hand was raised upwards like lightning, and a chilling and extremely sharp killing intent flashed and disappeared.

The cyan bird’s figure was not very large. At the moment Cai’er made her move, it had already felt the danger and quickly flapped its wings to make a nimble evasive maneuver.

However, Cai’er’s upward sweeping Green Bamboo Staff instantly burst out three afterimages, and the length of the afterimages actually reached ten meters.

Puff——The Green Bamboo Staff touched the ground, Cai’er was still walking forward slowly, and the distance between him and the summoner was getting closer step by step. Her breath did not change in any way because of the cyan bird’s attack just now, as if it were all just an illusion.

But, was it really an illusion?

The cyan bird, evenly divided into eight pieces, fell to the ground with its own blood, splashing a cloud of dust. Cai’er’s Green Bamboo Staff that had just been raised, it could not even avoid one hit at all.

Long Haochen, who exclaimed when he saw the wind blade hit Cai’er, stopped his voice in his throat. And Fang Zhu, who was chanting incantations rapidly more than twenty meters away from Cai’er, his pupils instantly shrunk to the size of a needle tip, and his rapid incantation was almost interrupted by the scene that just happened.

The Swift Wind Bird was actually killed instantly? That was a real level 4 magical beast. Even if it couldn’t hurt the enemy, it could at least play a harassing role, right? However, from beginning to end, it failed to have the slightest impact on Cai’er’s forward figure. The afterimages thrown out by the Green Bamboo Staff were even more neatly divided than a chef’s cut. What made Fang Zhu’s back instantly covered with cold sweat was the extremely sharp killing intent at that moment.

At this moment, he had already realized what kind of opponent he was facing. Even if she was blind, her strength still made Fang Zhu feel an unprecedented terrifying pressure.

Cai’er’s speed was still very slow, but just like in the preliminary round, every step she took forward would increase Fang Zhu’s psychological pressure.

However, this Fang Zhu was indeed excellent. In this situation, he finally completed his incantation.

With his staff pointing forward, a brown-red light spewed out, turning into a flashing gate. Then, a roaring howl sounded, and a huge, thick figure drilled out of the gate.

Level 6 magical beast, Diamond Giant Bear.

For a level 4 Grand Summoner, being able to summon a level 6 magical beast was already summoning beyond his level. This was closely related to his own mental power and equipment. But even so, after completing this summoning, Fang Zhu’s face still turned pale. But that was a pale that was relieved.
