<strong>Capítulo 1251: Chapter 1242: The Contest</strong>


    “Now, I announce the official start of thepetition. Please, representative number one and their opponent,e to the stage!”


    As Xiao Zhendong’s words marked the beginning of thepetition, thunderous apuse erupted in the arena. Teams one and their opponents sent representatives to the stage, preparing tomence the first round of contest.


    Team one’s opponent was team seven. After the two representatives came to the stage, they exchanged a fist salute and waited for Xiao Zhendong to announce the start of the battle.


    Taking advantage of the gap, Xiao Yifei meticulously observed the two teams. From their appearances, there wasn’t anything special, and from the perception of Qi, the strongest participants from both sides were only at the Peak of the Qi Condensation Stage. There wasn’t even a single Golden Elixir Stage expert, so it seemed the battle wouldn’t offer anything extraordinary.


    “Are you ready?” Xiao Zhendong stepped forward to inquire, cing arge fan-like hand between the two representatives, ready to give themand at any moment.


    Both representatives nodded.


    “Begin the match!”


    With Xiao Zhendong’smand, the spectators cheered, and both contestants moved as if wind beneath their feet, engaging in a tangle of attacks and defenses.


    Xiao Yifei watched expectantly, but as he expected, it was all basic moves from Martial Arts and Cultivation Technique. Neither contender had a precise grasp of Qi, and soon one side showed signs of fatigue. To Xiao Yifei, this level ofbat felt like child’s y.


    “The opponents for teams one and two are teams seven and five, respectively. They’re not among those seven teams, so there’s nothing worth watching. Quickly adjust your bodies to the best condition. If things go on like this, it’ll soon be team three and our turn. This is the first tough battle, and we must y it well,” Zhang Po advised while caressing a longsword, not paying much attention to the ongoing battle on the stage.


    Xiao Yifei and Chang Wei nodded in agreement, shifting their focus to themselves, not paying much attention to thepetition.


    Soon after, the representative from team one was defeated, and then another member from team one stepped onto the stage to battle the representative from team seven.


    Thebatsted about an hour. The participants from team one fought until thest contestant was defeated. Team seven won the match but paid a heavy price, with two contestants severely injured and others suffering varying degrees of depletion.


    In contrast, team one, while having lost, suffered rtively minor losses.


    Following the end of the match, members of the Xiao Family’s medical team immediately attended to the injured from both teams. However, Xiao Yifei observed that these medical practitioners had rather crude techniques, merely applying a fewyers of gauze over the injuries before moving on with haste.


    “I’ll go help treat them.” Being a doctor, Xiao Yifei couldn’t stand idly by while so many injured individualsy before him. He promptly decided to assist those who were hurt during thepetition.


    “You’d better not meddle. I already said, the ‘Martial Arts Tournament’ is intended to weaken the power of the major cultivation families. What you’re doing will attract the Xiao Family’s attention,” Zhang Po blocked Xiao Yifei and said.


    “No, if this goes on, they’ll never be able to continue cultivation in their lifetime. They’ll even die,” Xiao Yifei anxiously replied.


    “You can’t save everyone in the world. Some people are bound to die,” Zhang Po said calmly.


    “Why can’t I! Why shouldn’t I?” Xiao Yifei flushed at Zhang Po’s words and retorted.


    Zhang Po was surprised, not expecting his simple remark would touch a sensitive point deep in Xiao Yifei’s heart. Not wanting to cause any disputes so close to the match, he said no more, allowing Xiao Yifei to go forward and help treat the injured.


    Xiao Yifei quickly joined the rescue efforts. The people of the Xiao Family were displeased with his actions, even sending people to inquire about Xiao Yifei’s background. However, Xiao Yifei ignored the Xiao Family’s actions and focused on using his Qi to heal the contestants from both teams.


    Xiao Yifei’s Qi, known for being of the wood attribute, had significant effects. In no time, many with severe injuries visibly began to recover.


    “Thank you, I feel much better,” one of the injured, whom Xiao Yifei had treated, expressed gratitude.


    “It’s nothing; it’s what I ought to do.”


    On the stage, Xiao Zhendong witnessed this scene, a hint of harshness shing in his eyes, though he said nothing. In his mind, he resolved to deal with this boy after thepetition.


    Xiao Yifei’s selfless act of treating the wounded quickly drew the contestants’ attention. Participants from teams one and seven were very grateful for Xiao Yifei’s actions and approached him with polite exchanges.


    The atmosphere became bustling for a moment.


    Thepetition continued, with team two facing team five in this round. As with the previous match, participants from both sides were evenly matched, but the matchescked excitement.


    Xiao Yifei had no heart to continue watching the match, fully immersing himself in the medical actions, even forgetting that the next round would be his turn to take the stage.


    “Xiao Yifei! Stop wasting your Qi. We’re about topete,” Chang Wei found Xiao Yifei and urgently advised him.


    “No, the match can wait, but I absolutely cannot let them die. They’re innocent; they’re only here to exchange Martial Arts skills. Each one of them is in their prime, so how could we allow them to be lost so easily? Absolutely not!” Xiao Yifei said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.


    Though only the first round, the intensity of thepetition far exceeded Xiao Yifei’s expectations. He had thought thepetitors might withdraw based on their physical conditions, but unexpectedly, battles at this level had already reached a life-and-death stage.


    Zhang Po also found Xiao Yifei, standing before the two of them, he said: “Xiao Yifei, you continue treating the injured. In the next match, the two of us will handle it for a while. Once the match begins, try to adjust your body’s condition as much as possible. If I’m not mistaken, the captain of team three should be thest to go onstage, and by then, we’ll have fought enough. We should reserve strength for the battles ahead, so only you’ll handle thest round.”<fna85b> For more chapters visit Find1Novel</fna85b>


    “I understand! No problem. Thank you, Zhang Po,” Xiao Yifei replied cheerfully and continued to treat the injured with even greater dedication.


    Zhang Po sighed. He was aware of Xiao Yifei’s benevolence, and given the circumstances, he could only go along with Xiao Yifei’s nature. If the Xiao Family came for retributionter, he’d reveal the trump card of the Seven Ancient n’s n Leaders and maneuver his way out.


    “Round two, team five wins!” Xiao Zhendong’s shout concluded the second round, where both teams performed admirably. The final round saw both sides sending their Golden Elixir Stage experts to duel, fighting to the veryst soldier. Ultimately, team five barely edged out for the win.


    The injured from teams two and five were also taken to the rest area one after another. Xiao Yifei went forward to examine them and provide necessary care.


    “Round three, team three vs. team fifteen!” Xiao Zhendong snorted coldly, thinking, “Now it’s your team’s turn, brat. Let’s see you calmly treat them now.”


    “It’s our turn now, Chang Wei; you go first. Try to tire out their fighting strength as much as possible and don’t overexert. Once Xiao Yifei has somewhat recovered, we’ll take over the contest,” Zhang Po, not fully aware of Chang Wei’s capabilities, had to take this approach andforted Chang Wei.
