As the First Elder finished his announcement, a dozen deacons stepped forward with pre-prepared metal sticks to let disciples draw lots .
Su Mo and Zhou Xin joined the queue for the draw .
Soon, Su Mo received his metal stick .
Group six, no . 518 .
Su Mo's metal stick read, "group six, no . 518" .
Over 10,000 Outer Disciples were divided into 10 groups, each with over 1,000 contestants .
Zhou Xin, Li Feng, and Niu Xiaohu each drew .
None of them were in the same group with Su Mo .
Zhou Xin was in group two, Niu Xiaohu in group eight, and Li Feng in group nine .
After drawing, the four friends waited together for the competition to start .
As the 10 fighting rings were not too far from each other, the four stayed in one place .
The draw finished quickly .
A hosting deacon stood up and announced, "The competition starts now!"
"Group one, No . 16 versus no . 825!"
"Group two, no . 605 versus no . 853!"
"Group three, no . 102 versus no . 467!"
. . .
The disciples whose numbers were called by the deacon stepped in the corresponding ring and began their first round of the fight .
Beams of light shone in each ring and loud clashes sounded here and there .
The group stage was brutal . One defeat was all it took to be eliminated .
This meant that good luck would play an important part in the first stage .
Even a disciple who was at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm would suffer a terrible loss if he was unlucky enough to encounter one of the top 10 outer disciples .
As the competition went on, more and more disciples were eliminated .
Some groups finished their first round and moved on to the next fight faster than the others .
"Group nine, no . 74 versus no . 1019!" The deacon called Li Feng into the ring .
Li Feng was no . 74 .
Li Feng's opponent was a disciple at the Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm .
He was no match for Li Feng .
"Mountain-Collapsing Fist!" Li Feng shouted within the ring and knocked his opponent out with one powerful punch .
Coming down from the fighting ring, Li Feng had a fine color in his cheeks like a spring breeze .
"Hhah . Easy wins from the first round!" Li Feng laughed .
"Congratulations, brother Li!"
"Beautiful, brother Li!"
Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu appeared to be excited about Li Feng's opening victory .
"Group six, no . 518 versus no . 661!" The deacon called again .
"Brother Su Mo, it's your turn!" said Li Feng .
Su Mo nodded as he stepped into the ring of Group Six .
"Su Mo?"
Su Mo's opponent was dressed in a yellow robe . He was at the Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm .
The youth in yellow looked gloomy as soon as he saw Su Mo .
"You know me?"
Su Mo was surprised . He stared at the youth up and down and realized who he was .
He was one of the Gale Island disciples from the Guanwu City mission .
"I surrender!" the youth in yellow forced a wry smile before shouting his decision to the referee .
He had learned how powerful Su Mo was in the Battle of Guanwu .
He knew he had no chance of facing Su Mo even if he had reached the Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm .
However upset he felt, he had to admit his defeat .
The youth in yellow immediately turned and walked down from the fighting ring .
Su Mo quietly stroked his nose without a word and left the fighting ring .
Round one, a free win!
Hundreds of disciples of the Sky Alliance stood together in the distance .
He Yangjun saw Su Mo's free victory and a sneer appeared in his eyes .
"You can gloat for a little while, before long your end will come . "
After that, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu each had their first match .
Niu Xiaohu was lucky that he drew an opponent at Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm and scored an easy victory .
On the other hand, Zhou Xin, unfortunately, encountered a mighty rival of the Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm in his first round .
He chose to fight like a man instead of throwing in the towel but was knocked out by one blow from his rival .
As time went by, round one finished in all 10 fighting rings and thousands of disciples got eliminated .
The rest of the contestants advanced to the second round .
"Group six, no . 518 versus no . 932!"
It was Su Mos's turn to fight again .
This round, Su Mo was facing a round-faced youth at the Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm .
"We're at the same level . You're to lose for certain!" The round-faced youth holding a light green spear said with confidence after eying Su Mo up and down .
"Bring it!"
Su Mo shook his head gently, wondering why the youth was so confident .
"Take a defeat!"
The round-faced youth dashed out, his body rising up into the air and stabbed Su Mo with his spear of shining blue light .
Phew!
The spear pierced through the air and approached Su Mo's chest at the lightning speed .
Err!
However, at the next moment, the round-faced youth's facial expression suddenly froze and his body reached a standstill in the air .
Su Mo stretched his hand and grabbed the spear .
"How can it be?"
The round-faced youth was in a terrible shock . He struggled hard but could not pull out the spear . He was trying so hard that his face turned red, but it did not change anything .
The spear in Su Mo's hand did not move at all, as if there was a mountain resting on it .
At this very moment, the scene in that fighting ring appeared rather amusing .
Su Mo stood in the middle of the fighting ring and held up a spear, at the tip of which the round-faced youth hung in the air .
"Go down!" Su Mo said in a flat voice as he shook his arm . The round-faced youth flew off the ring together with his spear .
Su Mo scored another victory with ease in the second round .
Su Mo's luck continued for three more rounds and he harvested five wins without any struggle .
Niu Xiaohu was eliminated in round three .
Li Feng made it to round five .
By the end of each round, the number of remaining disciples was cut by half . After five rounds, there were less than four dozen contestants left in Su Mo's group .
In all 10 fighting rings, the top 10 outer disciples attracted the most attention .
None of their rivals made it to their second strike .
The seed Outer Disciple of Su Mo's group was Lu Shaoyun .
In a blue silk robe, this handsome, elegant young man threw his opponents out of the ring with ease .
The top three outer disciples Nangong Linjue, Duan Bingye, and Ling Muchen seemed even more relaxed .
All of their rivals admitted their defeat without fighting .
As a result, they had not made any move so far .
"Group six, no . 12 versus no . 518!"
Finally, in round six, Su Mo met a worthy rival .
A grim-looking youth in black at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, his bearing was extremely imposing, way beyond his peers of the same level .
Su Mo got in the ring and the pair stood face to face .
"He-heh! Lucky me!"
The man in black grinned as soon as he saw Su Mo . "I'll be rewarded handsomely for taking your life!"
"Taking my life?"
Su Mo raised his brows and asked in a cold voice, "You want to take my life?"
"What did you say?"
The man in black showed his killing desire in his eyes and answered, "Yes, you're pretty strong . However, it's your misfortune to encounter me!"
The man in black appeared extremely confident . Though he was only at Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, he was no weaker than those at level 6 .
"You're from the Sky Alliance?" Su Mo asked, an expression of scorn on his face .
