All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

As time went by, after the last person on the ring had decided the winner, it was soon time to draw the next round of opponents.

Originally there were only a few hundred people left, but now only half of them are able to stay, and among this half, many have suffered serious injuries.

Some people are luckier and suffer less damage, but if they are unlucky, it may take some time to recover.

Fortunately, every sect basically carries very good herbs for healing. If it is just some minor injuries, you can recover to your original peak level by resting for a while.

If the injury is more serious, it may be more difficult to deal with, but after a period of adjustment, it can be recovered to at least half of the original level.

Although it is indeed not allowed to take any herbs and pills during individual competitions, they can certainly be used after the competition.

Several of them were unable to even stand up and could only ask others to help them draw their opponents for the next round.

However, basically everyone who is able to stay in this round is not particularly weak. It seems that a few of them are luckier and only managed to win narrowly because they encountered opponents who are weaker than themselves.

As all the slips of paper have been drawn one by one, the remaining one hundred people will be divided into more than seventy teams.

Chen Yuan casually grabbed one of the notes, unfolded it and saw the number on it. After turning it around, he handed the note in his hand to the referee on the opposite side.

The referee used his strength to leave a mark on one of the wooden tokens, and then solemnly said the number on the token.

As soon as the referee finished speaking, everyone present looked over to see who Chen Yuan's next opponent would be.

At this moment, the man, who had already been seriously injured, raised his hands carefully, with a very painful look in his eyes.

His injuries are so severe now that even if he rests for a few days, there is no way he can beat Chen Yuan.

This man had actually been to the secret realm before, and of course he understood how powerful Chen Yuan was. He had personally witnessed him fighting with some powerful men.

The elder of the man next to him seemed to understand the current situation, and finally couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Please wait, this game is forfeited."

The referee was not surprised after hearing this. He turned around and looked at the seriously injured man. "Let me confirm with you again, are you really going to give up this game?"

This martial arts competition can be said to be very respectful of personal wishes. All matters must be agreed upon by the individual to take effect. Therefore, just the words of the elder next to you are not enough to count. The individual must say so in person to give up.

The seriously injured man showed a very painful expression on his face, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

The elder next to him seemed to have noticed the other party's dilemma. "You are in no condition to compete with him. You should know that it is not easy for the sect to cultivate a genius like you. We are so sorry that you were defeated today!"

After hearing these words, the man closed his eyes in great pain. He knew that he had been practicing hard in seclusion for several months, mainly for this martial arts competition.

Originally, he could have participated in this martial arts competition to bring honor to his sect, but he didn't expect that he would have to give up so soon after such a short time.

"It doesn't matter, actually. Even though we gave up this time, we still have a chance later. There will be another team competition in a month, and it is possible to get a good ranking in the team competition."

The elder next to him seemed to see what was in the man's mind and whispered to comfort him.

After hearing this, the man sighed helplessly, then nodded very heavily, and spoke in a very hoarse voice, "I voluntarily give up this competition!"

After saying this, he looked deeply at Chen Yuan opposite him, and then was helped off the stage by the people around him.

Chen Yuan also saw the unwillingness in this guy's eyes, and in the end he shook his head without saying anything.

In fact, this world is so cruel and ruthless. Strength is respected. If a person's strength is not good enough, no matter how hard he struggles, it will not be of any use.

"Since someone has already given up, you will wait here for a while. If someone else gives up, you will automatically become opponents in the competition."

The referee began to explain the rules in detail.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, then sat aside and waited for what would happen next.

Soon everyone had completed registration, and unexpectedly, not a single person among the hundreds of people chose to abstain.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Yuan, who was sitting on the chair with a very relaxed expression. Some people showed a hint of regret in their eyes, while others showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

It was a pity that he could not compare himself with Chen Yuan next, while some jealous people wondered why they could not get a bye.

"Since you don't have any opponents in this round, you can be considered to have successfully won this round. You can now participate in the third round of the competition."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan sighed helplessly. You know, he came here to collect information from more people, but now he was given a bye.

In fact, others might envy him for being able to enter the next round of competition directly without having to compete, but he himself thought that this was not a good thing.

Fortunately, the rules of this round of competition seem to be different from the previous rounds. He should be able to choose his opponents as freely as possible, and then he can obtain more information.

After Chen Yuan thought about this, he sighed helplessly, then smiled and nodded to the referees around him, turned around and left the nearby area to prepare for the next competition.
