Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

"Hehe, join the Han Family?"

"When we face off directly, and I have you under my foot, I'll consider it. I'm just afraid that by then, the Han Family won't even invite me to be a house servant," Xiao Ye lifted his head, coldly retorting to Han Tian's mocking tone.

He really had no good feelings towards this arrogant and brainless Han Tian.

Swoosh!

Hearing Xiao Ye's words, a cold glint flashed in Han Tian's eyes, cutting through the void like a blade, his vigorous Blood Qi sweeping forth like thunder vibrating. Martial Artists who were slightly less powerful felt an immense pressure.

Instantly, the complexion of Martial Artists in the Duel Arena changed.

Han Tian's Physical Body Power seemed to exceed their imaginations!

"From now on, you'd better pray not to encounter me too soon, because by then, you might just die," Han Tian huffed at Xiao Ye before stepping down from the platform.

"His strength is indeed not bad, but as a person, he's too much of an idiot," Xiao Ye shook his head, uninterested in arguing further.

Yet, because of his and Han Tian's clash, the atmosphere in the Duel Arena had become explosively heated.

Xiao Ye!

Han Tian!

These two powerful Heavenly Prides, since the start at Tianjiao City in Barbarian Valley City, had both shown terrifyingly exceptional strength, each no weaker than the other, leaving the youth of Barbarian Valley City in their dust.

Now their confrontation made it clear that a thrilling duel was yet to come.

The black-robed old man serving as the referee frowned slightly.

This duel of Heavenly Prides from the Ten Great Families of Barbarian Valley City had not explicitly forbidden life-and-death battles.

Because whoever came to participate in this duel, wasn't each one a standout among the younger generation of the Ten Great Families?

If a casualty were to occur, it would surely drive that family mad, and even enemy families would not allow their Heavenly Pride to take a life unreasonably, as it would be far too irrational.

To be one of the Ten Great Families of Barbarian Valley City, which one didn't have a profound background?

It was for this reason that no rule against life-and-death battles had been set for this confrontation.

What he hadn't expected was that this time, the Yang Family had actually sent an outsider, Xiao Ye, to participate. If Han Tian really killed Xiao Ye, even if the Yang Family were furious, they would not wage war against the Han Family.

This gave Han Tian an opportunity, freeing him from any concerns.

"Having lived in Barbarian Valley City for so many years, it's not easy to find a youngster with decent Physical Body Power. He can't be allowed to fall to Han Tian just like that. If a crisis really does arise, it's better for me to intervene and help," the black-robed old man thought to himself and continued presiding over the second round of the duels.

Aside from Yang Qianyu who had a bye, there were sixteen Heavenly Prides competing in the second round, leaving only three battles remaining.

The sixth bout of the second round was between Yang Qianfan from the Yang Family and a Heavenly Pride from the Yun Family, one of the Ten Great Families of Barbarian Valley City.

Compared to the arrogant and domineering Han Tian, Yang Qianfan was much gentler despite his outstanding Physical Body Power. His strength clearly surpassed his opponent by a lot, yet he took ten moves to lightly blast his opponent off the platform, easily securing the victory and earning points.

The final two bouts appeared somewhat lackluster. The competing Heavenly Prides were evenly matched, engaging in fierce combat, making it difficult to determine the victor for a while.

In the Duel Arena, the Martial Artists barely paid attention to the stage anymore, instead engaging in heated discussions below.

For this Heavenly Pride duel, they already had an idea of the three strongest individuals.

Xiao Ye!

Han Tian!

Yang Qianfan!

According to their observations and speculation, they roughly knew that Yang Qianfan was to rank third. As for whether the first place would be Xiao Ye or Han Tian, a fierce debate broke out, and there was also a sense of eager anticipation for the next round.

Anyone who could win in the second round and advance to the third round was almost certainly a powerful fighter. Only then would the showdowns be truly exciting. If Xiao Ye and Han Tian met in the third round, that would be even more interesting.

The topic of discussion in the Duel Arena revolved around Xiao Ye and Han Tian.

These two were undoubtedly the strongest amongst the young generation in Barbarian Valley City.

An hour later, the second round of the Heavenly Prides' showdown finally came to an end.

Han Tian of the Han Family still advanced with an overwhelming advantage.

Of the four Heavenly Prides of the Yang Family, Yang Xuan was eliminated and sent back for healing by Yang Wudao. Xiao Ye, Yang Qianfan, and Yang Qianyu all advanced smoothly. Among them, Yang Qianfan gained the most points, reaching a total of two points.

"Let's continue with the draw to determine the order and opponents for the third round," announced the elder in the black robe.

The third round, like the first and second, was destined to have someone draw a bye and directly advance to the next round.

However, this time, the goddess of fate did not favor the Yang Family again but instead gave a Heavenly Pride of the Yun Family a blank lot.

"Number one?" Xiao Ye looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, slightly startled. This meant that he would be the first to take the stage next.

As for Yang Qianfan and Yang Qianyu, they drew the third and fourth respectively.

"The three of us have a very high chance of encountering Han Tian!" At this moment, Yang Qianfan's expression became serious.

With only four matches in the third round, the odds of the three of them facing Han Tian were naturally high.

"I actually hope it's me," Xiao Ye said with a cold laugh. He had long been annoyed by Han Tian and would be more than happy to teach him a lesson and stop him before he could get into the top three.

"Hehe, I wonder which of you three will be so unlucky as to face me in the next round?" Just at that moment, a mocking voice came.

Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes and looked over to see Han Tian walking towards them, staring at them coldly and holding up his bamboo slip.

"Number one!"

"It's Bamboo Slip Number One!"

Seeing the number on Han Tian's bamboo slip, Yang Qianyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, looking worriedly at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was indeed very strong, but he understood that Xiao Ye's Physical Body Power, like that of his brother, had not broken through the final barrier to reach the same level as Han Tian.

Therefore, if Xiao Ye faced Han Tian, it might well be more likely to be bad luck than good.

"You're actually number one?" Xiao Ye was slightly startled, not expecting that his own casual remark would actually come true.

"Good, now we can have a fair and square match," Xiao Ye said to Han Tian, also shaking the bamboo slip in his hand, sneering.

Whoosh!

When the audience saw that the numbers on the bamboo slips in the hands of the two fighters were exactly the same, the Duel Arena first fell silent for a few breaths and then erupted into thunderous cheers.

The two strongest young people in Barbarian Valley City, were about to face off so soon!
