Hearing this, Duì Duì's face turned sullen, instantly feeling displeased.

Supreme continued, "Duì Duì, make your choice!"

After a moment of silence, Duì Duì gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I concede, but I'll remember today! One day, I will make you pay for this!"

Supreme's face lit up with joy, but he didn't reveal Light Star, instead he looked at Lan You, waiting for Lan You to announce the result.

Lan You jumped onto the arena and said, "The qualifier for the Seventh Region, Supreme!"

After hearing Lan You's announcement, Supreme finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Light Star, "It's okay now, Light Star, you can come out!"

Buzz!

Another beam of light flashed, and Light Star climbed out from Duì Duì's pet.

This operation left the audience below stunned.

"I didn't expect such an operation, really opened my eyes!"

"What operation, clearly that was a sneaky move, this Supreme is a trickster, playing the dark arts with real skill."

"You really speak without manners. Didn't Supreme say it? Black cat or white cat, if it catches mice, it's a good cat. Even Lord Lan You has approved, and yet you're still unhappy."

The audience's evaluation of Supreme was mixed.

When Supreme returned to his seat, he let out a long breath.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Supreme brother, good job, I didn't expect you had such a move, really surprising."

Supreme shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ah, well, this is my trump card, and I've used it in the first match. It will be difficult to use it again next time."

That's true, usually, a trump card is used at the most critical time; Supreme used it right away, which means the trump card is exposed, making it easier for others to guard against. But there was no choice. If Supreme didn't use it this time, the only option was a miserable defeat.

The battle continued, and the first round soon ended.

The three brothers from Jiangbei surprisingly all passed the test, proving they had some skills.

Lan You announced loudly, "The first round is over, rest for a day, and tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, the second round will start. The winners should prepare well. If you didn't pass the competition, you can go back, or if you don't want to, you can stay and watch the battles."

Hearing Lan You's words, everyone clasped their hands and left one by one.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and Ye Chen, led by Supreme, arrived at a room.

Ye Chen had observed each battle very carefully, memorizing everyone's combat techniques and strengths.

He summoned Pill Master and others to discuss some matters together.

"Did you all see the battles just now?" Ye Chen asked the group.

"We did."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then share your thoughts. If you were to fight against those winners, what strategies would you use to win?"

"I think these people are all elites, unleashing their strength to the fullest, especially in the use of skills and control of attributes. They maximized their advantages in certain aspects, so I think the best approach is to start with their weaknesses. Like that Jiang Shui Remnant Blade, don't confront him head-on. Although Jiang Shui Remnant Blade is fierce, he is rather arrogant and can be attacked from..."

Pill Master gave an analysis, which was detailed and insightful, breaking down their opponents precisely.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "As expected of the leader among the four, this analysis makes a lot of sense."

Pill Master smiled bashfully.

Dark Princess listened attentively from the side.

"Thank you, big sister. Your analysis opened my eyes, and I feel more confident about the upcoming battles."

Pill Master smiled and said, "No worries, don't be afraid of the level gap. If things don't work out, if the level difference is too much, I'll buff you up!"

"Haha, good, big sister is wise!"

After discussing tactics for a while, Ye Chen was ready to go to sleep.

The first round of competition was intense and non-stop, lasting three to four days.

The second round wouldn't take that long, as half of the participants were eliminated.

The next morning, Ye Chen and Supreme went to the arena.

They sat down in their previous spot.

This time, fewer people came, only leaving the competitors and some of their friends to watch the battles.

At 9:50, Lan You jumped to the center of the arena, and like before, drew the matchup numbers.

Ye Chen drew the blue number 8.

Supreme drew the green number 17.

This time, there were only a little over fifty numbers, so their fight times were relatively early.

"Number draw completed, let's have number one step onto the stage."

Two people went towards the arena.

"Fifth Region, Feng Han!"

"Eighth Region, Tong Zhen!"

Both were Level 73, with Feng Han having the Water Attribute and Tong Zhen the Earth Attribute.

Their pets were common attributes, and they had the same level and pet tier.

This match was relatively fair and could be considered a truly evenly matched duel.

The battle began with the two engaging, testing each other's strength.

Their first exchange led to a mutual defeat.

Both had a glitter in their eyes, and fought with utmost focus.

With such similar levels and strength,

the factor deciding victory boiled down to who had a slight edge.

The audience watched eagerly.

Supreme stroked his chin and said, "These two are interesting, they're fighting on equal terms with neither having an advantage nor disadvantage."

"Hmm, but I feel Tong Zhen has a better chance of winning. In a 1V1 battle, Earth Attribute pets have an advantage," Ye Chen said, squinting.

Supreme nodded, agreeing with Ye Chen's view.

After ten minutes, both of their blood volumes dropped below a million.

Their blood volumes were almost the same, but Feng Han's pet had slightly more blood.

Both of them looked at each other intently.

"Come on, the final blow will decide who laughs last!" Feng Han said fiercely, a gleam in his eyes.

Tong Zhen nodded, "Bring it on!"

Tong Zhen's pet roared, its body instantly swollen, its muscles bursting forth, and on its two enormous fists, earthy yellow light emanated.

The punch looked incredibly domineering.

Feng Han's pet let out a low roar, countless water droplets spinning around it, forming a water tornado.

A Water Sword floated in front of Feng Han.

Both of them activated their attacks and defenses simultaneously.

The moment of deciding victory or defeat had arrived.

"Come! Win or lose, it all depends on this moment!"

Yellow and blue lights emerged, colliding together.

After the clash, they switched positions and stopped moving.

The yellow light on Tong Zhen's pet disappeared, and the water droplets around Feng Han's pet scattered.
