The Yan Family is a prestigious family in Hanfrost City, and the news that all their seventh-level warriors were abolished quickly spread throughout Frost Cold City.

In one night, the wind and clouds surged.

Within that single night, various industries of the Yan Family faced all kinds of encroachments and attacks. Several Yan Family disciples managing different industries were even assaulted and killed.

If it weren’t for Chu Zhou, the City Lord of Frost Cold City, intervening, the Yan Family would have faced even harsher attacks.

Even with Chu Zhou’s intervention, the erosion of the Yan Family by major forces did not stop; it just became less sinister and vicious, without completely annihilating the Yan Family.

Despite being the City Lord, Chu Zhou was powerless in this situation.

Major forces are deeply intertwined, and even if he’s the City Lord, he can’t dictate the terms. Besides, everyone knows the relationship between Chu Zhou and the Yan Family. If you don’t let us have a piece, do you want to have it all to yourself?

Lin Chen was indifferent to the major forces targeting the Yan Family, as the Yan Family was already a thing of the past for him.

Killing the chicken to warn the monkey, this tactic is evidently very effective.

With the Yan Family dealt with, the forces controlling logistics in the other five cities no longer dared to provoke.

The past lesson is right before their eyes; if they want to mess with Star Logistics, they must consider if they can bear the consequences.

The combat power of Lin Chen and others clearly exceeded their expectations and wasn’t something that could be easily dealt with.

If that’s the case, then let the previous discussions be as if they never happened, since no one wants to be the second Yan Family.

The Second Day morning, the Warrior Competition grandly opened.

The entire Star Sky Stadium was packed, and even the aisles, the paths behind the seats were filled with people standing.

A total of twenty-eight contestants from seven cities sat in the waiting area. As their eyes met, invisible firelight collided.

The City Lords of various cities also sat in the guest seats; besides them were many senior management members.

The opening ceremony featured speeches from various important figures, but Lin Chen didn’t pay attention to them since the procedures are almost the same everywhere.

However, when a White-haired Elder started speaking, Lin Chen focused his attention.

Honorary Planet Leader, Level 8 Warrior.

Meng Xuan!

Meng Xuan stood in front of the microphone, looked around the venue, and said with a smile, "It’s yet another season of the Warrior Competition, a grand event for Planet 49. Let’s hope the elite contestants from various cities will showcase their strength and style, achieving higher realms soon."

Concise and to the point.

Indeed, a powerhouse emerged from the military.

With the process completed, it’s time for the draw.

The entire competition adopts the simplest and most brutal knockout system, divided into several stages.

Twenty-eight to fourteen.

Fourteen to seven (supplement to eight).

Eight to four.

Four to two (semi-finals).

Third vs. Fourth, vying for third place.

Final.

In the fourteen to seven stage, due to one missing contestant, it’s hard to arrange matchups later, so two eliminated contestants will be randomly drawn to duel, with the winner supplementing the queue to eight.

Calculating this way, the entire competition requires a total of thirty matches. Therefore, the event is spread over many days, given that battle requires time for recovery and adjustment to maintain form.

Soon, the first-round draw results came out.

Group Thirteen

Star Logistics - Lin Chen (Jinghai City) vs. City Defense Army - Guo Mingfeng (Blue Mountain City)

Xuan Ji is in Group Four, but Lin Chen and the others are unfamiliar with the experts from these cities, so they don’t bother to care.

Anyway, once on stage, you must face the challenge head-on and fight with all your might.

Winning is certainly good, but losing is also acceptable; there’s no money or rice lost.

All those competing in the general competition are strong troops among seventh-level warriors, with their strength either at the peak or nearing the peak; the battles are fiercely intense.

When powerhouses clash, it’s simply impossible to determine victory with a single strike; triumph needs to be cemented through repeated encounters, or seizing the opportunity for victory; hence the battles are exceptionally exciting.

Most of the audience may be locals from Frost Cold City, but there are also spectators from other cities cheering for contestants representing their cities.

Lin Chen watched with great interest, slowly realizing a problem.

Even though the fighting styles of warriors vary, with some being grand and open, and others swift and agile, in general, they engage directly without much embellishment, focused on raw power clash.

Compared to warriors, the fights among cultivators are full of variety, employing various magical treasures, extraordinary divine powers, and eerie combat styles that are difficult to guard against.

In contrast, battles among warriors are more direct, brutal, and straightforward; as a result, the realm strength becomes increasingly vital.

Fourth match, it’s Xuan Ji’s turn.

Xuan Ji stepped onto the stage, and everyone’s eyes lit up.

Female warriors aren’t rare, but those as stunning as Xuan Ji are extremely few.

The battle began.

The old rules: attack treasures first, defense treasures after, Black Blade ready to strike at any moment.

Although Xuan Ji was slightly lower in realm compared to Lin Chen, the gap wasn’t too significant; combined with cultivation techniques, even a direct confrontation wouldn’t leave her without confidence.

Xuan Ji’s fighting style instantly captivated everyone.

Compared to straightforward warriors, the colorful cultivation techniques amazed all.

"What method is this, why have I never seen it before?"

"I saw on the news before, talking about cultivation, where at a powerful realm, their lifespan is extraordinarily long, almost infinite."

"Infinite, isn’t that immortal?"

"Which planet did they immigrate from? I wonder if ordinary people like us can learn these techniques."

"Yeah, I lack talent as a warrior. I wonder if I can pursue cultivation."

"Cultivation has no future; didn’t you see that her techniques mostly play supporting roles? They can’t confront the opponent head-on."

"Even support is good, considering she’s also an excellent warrior; otherwise, she wouldn’t be standing here."

Xuan Ji didn’t rush to use Star Sky Jump but engaged directly with her opponent.

During a crucial moment in the encounter, Xuan Ji suddenly vanished.

In that instant when her opponent missed, she brought down a prepared strike from behind the opponent.

This incredible stroke triggered gasps and cheers throughout the arena.

Clearly still facing intense attacks a moment ago, how did she suddenly flash behind the opponent to attack!

Silent and traceless, faster than imaginable, who can block this?

Xuan Ji’s opponent was stunned by the strike, hastily got injured in a hurry.

After being injured, he was even less of a match for Xuan Ji, despite fighting hard, still unable to stop Xuan Ji, ultimately facing defeat.

Xuan Ji wins!

Lin Chen was quite pleased, not bad, this could be considered a good start.

Only the next round wouldn’t be as easy.

This round, they might not have been prepared; the next round, it’s impossible that they won’t be prepared.
