Chapter 322: Top 32 - Begin

"Do you want to go to the Tiger sect today as well?" Ma Rong asked.

"Oh, can I, Master? I really learn a lot there," Alex said.

"Okay, sure. Go, but come back when it's time for your match," Ma Rong said.

"Thank you, Master. Brother Wan, good luck on your battle," Alex said and left.

Fu Zhen had let them know that the next match was going to be the Top 32's battle, So Alex had some time to spare before his Maze run.

"Good Morning Master, Sister," Alex greeted Wen Cheng and Luo Mei when he got to the Tiger sect's seating area.

"Oh, you are finally here, junior brother. I thought you wouldn't come since you had a competition today," Luo Mei said.

"Oh right, you are taking part in the same match as little Ma aren't you? The Maze run," Wen Cheng asked.

"Oh, brother Ma is taking part in Maze run too?" Alex asked as he looked towards the red-haired Yang Ma.

"That's a funny coincidence. Don't worry, bother Yu Ming. I will help you in the competition," Yang Ma said.

Luo Mei's eyes got serious for a second as she stared towards Yang Ma. Yang Ma in return got a little timid and slouched back.

"Good Morning ladies and gentlemen, on this fine day that might end up becoming the final day of the competition. I, your host Fu Zhen, am back to tell you about today's competition."

"We will first have the Single Battles between the Top 32 followed by a Maze escaping competition and finally ending with the remaining Single battles."

"Here are the remaining fighters in the Top 32. To improve your experience of the fight, we have now decided to give you something else aside from the name and sect alone," Fu Zhen spoke.

Suddenly, a massive screen with the Top 32 names in the brackets appeared on the screen. It was all the same as yesterday since they were all separated into four groups. However, as Fu Zhen said, there was something else there this time.

"I guess that is to be expected. They did the same thing last year too," Wen Cheng said.

"In fact, I was surprised they didn't do it last time," Luo Mei said.

Alex looked at the screen with the 32 different names. Under each name was the name of the sect they belonged to, as well as their cultivation base.

'Luo Mei, Tiger sect, 6th Mind Tempering realm,' Alex read the words written for his senior sister.

Du Yuhan was in the 3rd realm and Yang Ma was in the 2nd realm. In fact, everyone was in the Mind tempering realm. From what Alex could see, the highest one was the 7th Mind Tempering realm. It belonged to a disciple called Chu Xiang of the Royal Fu academy.

"Thankfully the strongest one is in the Group D. Our disciples would have been in trouble otherwise," One of the elder said from the side.

"Yes. Luo Mei, your opponent should be an easy one. Take care of them quickly and return," Wen Cheng said.

Alex looked back at the brackets and saw that Luo Mei's opponent was a disciple of a sect called the Blue Rose sect. The disciple's cultivation base was only at the 1st realm of Mind Tempering. This would be an easy victory for Luo Mei.

And so the battles started.

The first match was between the Earth element using disciple of the Honor sect who was in 2nd Realm of Mind Tempering, and the disciple from the Myriad sect who herself was in the 2nd realm of Mind Tempering not to mention her beasts who were also in the same realm.

A lizard-like tattoo on her forehead glowed and a crocodile came out of it. The 2v1 battle went on for a while with the Honor Sect disciple attacking with as much earth element as he could, but he was never able to harm the crocodile, let alone pierce its skin.

As such, the Myriad Beast disciple won easily.

Luo Mei's match wasn't even a match. Her opponent, the sword-wielding girl didn't have any chance against her and quickly lost.

Between the 3rd Mind Tempering realm disciple of the Lesser Immortal sect and the third Mind Tempering realm disciple of the True Wisdom sect, the battle was the most fun yet. They were both elemental users and neither could get the upper hand.

In the end, the disciple of the Lesser Immortal sect had to use what looked t be his strongest skill and won the match.

The next match was between the Golden Eagle sect and Royal Fu Academy. The disciple of the Golden Eagle sect was at a respectable 3rd Mind Tempering realm, but the disciple of the Royal Fu Academy was at the 5th realm of Mind Tempering realm.

The disciple from the Royal Fu Academy didn't even have to use much of his strength before winning against his opponent.

With that, the fights of Group A were complete. Without any delay, the fights of Group B were started.

"Oh god, this is going to be a problem," Wen Cheng said as he looked at the bracket hovering mid-air. It brightly glowed the 4 people who had won previously and showed that they moved on to the Top 16.

"Cloud Valley sect… that's the beast taming sect, right? The one Elder Xian was from," Alex asked.

"Yes. Poor Yuhan is going to have a hard time. All of his opponents are in the 3rd Mind Tempering realm, not to mention the 4th Mind Tempering realm the disciple from the Royal Fu Academy. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost now," Wen Cheng said.

Alex looked at the match-up and saw Du Yuhan walk onto the stage along with the light blue robe wearing Cloud Valley disciple.

Alex remembered what Du Yuhan said and remembered his determination at the time. He remembered his will to be the strongest. Such a man losing so early on— Alex just couldn't see that happening at all.
