Chen Jiuyang's order to supervise the battle was issued.
Yan Hongming, Ye Tiannan, Han Lixuan, and Jiang Lihuo took a deep breath.
Yan Hongming said, "Good, with Brother Chen's words, I, Yan Hongming, will go all out today!"
Ye Tiannan said solemnly, "Alright, then I won't hide my strength today, lest I capsize in the gutter!"
Han Lixuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, since that's the case, there are no reservations."
Jiang Lihuo nodded slowly, "Then we will go all out today and not hold back King Qian!"
Chen Jiuyang could resolve enemies in a few moves because of his own powerful strength, crushing them with overwhelming force.
The first round of qualifiers would end today, and it was truly time to go all out.
Chen Jiuyang's immense power was a good thing for them, but it also put pressure on them.
If they dragged Chen Jiuyang down, it would be even more humiliating.
Others would say, "How can Chen Jiuyang be so powerful in the Dragon Country Martial Ranking team, yet his four teammates are so sluggish and weak?"
Since that was the case, they would go all out and see if they could enter the second round of qualifiers. How much national fortune they could seize depended on themselves.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "To fight to our heart's content is to do justice to this Asian Martial Ranking competition!"
"As martial artists, why should we shy away from a fight?"
"Only through true tempering and combat can we have confidence in our future martial path."
"Otherwise, if we always follow the rules, what difference would there be between us and those martial artists I have killed?"
"I have come this far relying on myself, my combat power has been built step by step!"
Hearing Chen Jiuyang's words, the four fell silent for a moment again.
Yan Hongming let out a long sigh and cupped his hands, "I have learned!"
Chen Jiuyang's combat power had steadily increased through his battles, a fact well-known in the Dragon Country martial arts world.
However, without so many battles and hardships, perhaps the powerful Chen Jiuyang of today would not exist.
Yan Hongming then took up his spear and, like Chen Jiuyang, was about to fight his third match.
Yan Hongming's third opponent was a martial artist from the Eastern Ying Country.
Martial artists from the Eastern Ying Country were fast and skilled with sabers.
This was a disadvantage for Yan Hongming. Yan Hongming used a spear, and his speed could not match the saber's speed. From the start, he was completely suppressed and forced into a difficult defensive position.
The Sword Bearer of Longjing sighed, "The Sky Dragon Breaking City Spear was ultimately comprehended by King Yan, not Hongming, so he cannot wield it as skillfully as King Yan."
"Sixty years ago, King Yan comprehended the Sky Dragon Breaking City Spear and shone brightly in the Asian Martial Ranking world."
"Hmm, Hongming should be able to win this match, but the price to pay will be considerable."
Yan Hongming seized an opportunity and unleashed his spear intent. A dragon's roar erupted, and the spear shot out like a dragon. He clashed head-on with the Eastern Ying martial artist, slowly regaining his momentum and turning the tide.
Twenty minutes later, Yan Hongming, covered in blood, hurled his spear. It pierced through the Eastern Ying martial artist's body, pinning him to the wall, severely wounding him and securing the victory.
"Quick!"
The Dragon Country Martial Ranking logistics team quickly carried Yan Hongming onto a stretcher, preparing to take him for treatment.
Chen Jiuyang also walked down from the waiting area to treat Yan Hongming's injuries. Half an hour later, he returned to the waiting area.
The Sword Bearer of Longjing asked, "How is Hongming's injury? Can he still participate in the next match?"
Chen Jiuyang frowned slightly and said, "He should be fine. I have provided him with emergency treatment."
The Asian Martial Ranking World Championship this time also had extremely stringent requirements for the physical fitness of the martial artists.
In a group of five, Yan Hongming, like Chen Jiuyang, had voluntarily entered the arena and won three consecutive matches. There was only one person left in their group.
The fourth match would definitely take place today. Fighting with an injury, the outcome was truly uncertain.
Next.
It was Ye Tiannan's turn to enter the arena.
Ye Tiannan took the initiative, unleashing his brilliant sword intent from the start, suppressing his opponent.
Sword intent was not a move, but a means to enhance one's combat power.
Ye Tiannan's proactive approach gave him an advantage in this battle, directly overwhelming his opponent. However, at a critical moment, his opponent unleashed a divine intent technique, clashing head-on with Ye Tiannan, and then sneak-attacking Ye Tiannan.
"Hiss—"
Ye Tiannan's body immediately bore two terrifying wounds that exposed bone.
Ye Tiannan did not retreat or show fear. Instead, he wielded his saber even more desperately. Subsequently, both were injured, and he narrowly won the match.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
The Dragon Country logistics team rushed onto the scene. Ye Tiannan's injuries were even more severe than Yan Hongming's. Chen Jiuyang once again entered the resting area to treat Ye Tiannan.
Both Yan Hongming and Ye Tiannan had silver needles inserted into them. Their faces were calm, even slightly flushed, which was the excitement of their first unrestrained battle.
They had been prodigies since childhood, and even during their training, they had been supervised. They had progressed smoothly, rarely facing adversity.
Chen Jiuyang, on the other hand, came from humble beginnings, his rise entirely through his own battles.
After this, they should gain something in their martial arts.
Especially Ye Tiannan, who possessed the innate sword body, but his sword intent was only at thirty percent, lacking tempering.
Just as Chen Jiuyang finished treating Ye Tiannan's injuries and had not yet returned to the waiting area, the Dragon Country logistics team brought down Han Lixuan's severely wounded body. Han Lixuan was almost a bloodied mess. He grabbed Chen Jiuyang's arm and said, "I did not disgrace the Dragon Country Martial Ranking team!"
He then spat blood and passed out. Chen Jiuyang quickly administered treatment to Han Lixuan.
Regardless of any past conflicts, here, they were teammates.
While treating him, Chen Jiuyang asked, "How did Han Lixuan end up like this?"
"He lost, but died with honor... His opponent, through his own ability, reached the peak of the sixth level of the Earth Realm and mastered divine might..." The Sword Bearer of Longjing said, "Although he lost the match, he successfully took one of the opponent's hands, greatly reducing the opponent's combat power."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, "Not bad, not bad."
After another round of busy work, Han Lixuan's injuries were finally dealt with.
Not long after, Jiang Lihuo was also carried off the stage. His chest was caved in, and his condition was extremely poor. Chen Jiuyang quickly stepped forward to treat him as well.
Jiang Lihuo's face was pale, and he said with difficulty, "King Qian, I did my best!"
Chen Jiuyang nodded and said, "Good, I will handle the rest."
Jiang Lihuo and Han Lixuan's Asian Martial Ranking matches ended here.
However, with Chen Jiuyang present, they still had a chance to participate in the World Martial Ranking competition in June!
After dealing with Jiang Lihuo's injuries, the matches for the fifteen groups had all been completed.
It was Chen Jiuyang's turn to enter the arena again.
The last match of the first round of qualifiers.
Chen Jiuyang's eyes flickered with brilliance as he walked onto the stage, carrying his saber.
The last match of the first round was against Blasky from the Tsarist Kingdom.
Blasky, holding a massive battle axe, stepped onto the stage. His blood energy was vigorous, and his aura was fierce.
He looked at Chen Jiuyang with a face full of fighting spirit, "You should fight to your heart's content!"
Upon entering the arena, Chen Jiuyang plunged the Yan Sheng Saber into the ground:
"You are worthy of fighting me to your heart's content?"
