Xu Ping'an's defeat of Long Shan surprised many people.
Of course, they weren't surprised by Xu Ping'an's victory, but by how easily he won.
At that moment, everyone also realized that Xu Ping'an's strength seemed to be much greater than they had imagined.
The first round of the competition ended, with five people advancing.
However, one person conceded due to severe injuries, so there were only four people left in Xu Ping'an's group.
This meant there was no need for a bye, and they could proceed with head-to-head matches.
Xu Ping'an drew lots, and soon his opponent was decided.
And this person was none other than Huang Yu, who had lectured him at the banquet previously.
Huang Yu's face looked somewhat ugly.
Now, he had broken through to the Fifth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, and his strength was quite formidable.
But the combat power that Xu Ping'an displayed still made him feel tremendous pressure.
