Xiao Xi reluctantly stepped down from the platform, although she was unwilling, she knew that the monk opposite was truly terrifying.

"Li Feng."

Xiao Xi walked to the contestant rest area and looked at Li Feng.

"Hmm?"

"Forget it, in your condition you'll probably have to kneel in the next match too."

She originally hoped that Li Feng would avenge her, but seeing Li Feng's weakened state, she couldn't count on him at all.

Li Feng rolled his eyes.

According to the previous notice from the organizing committee, the next round's matches might be rearranged, so whether Li Feng could even meet this Shaolin monk, Shijie, was still uncertain.

"I didn't expect this smelly monk to be so strong."

Xiao Xi turned around to look at Shijie's shiny bald head in the sunlight: "This guy definitely has the qualifications for the top eight."

Tie Xuan, standing beside her, nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, the opponent uses the Buddhist Vajra Unbreakable Body, even your Overlord Spear can't break it, anyone would be scratching their head."

Tie Xuan, as a descendant of the Vajra Sect, highly esteemed his family's Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth. The Vajra Unbreakable Body that Shijie used was the highest version of the Golden Bell Shield, which was his lifelong pursuit.

If he could master this Vajra Unbreakable Body.

Just thinking about it made Tie Xuan drool.

He wondered if he would be accepted if he went to apprentice under Shijie.

Xiao Xi snorted: "I didn't even use my full strength, okay? Do you really think the Overlord Spear is only this powerful?"

"If not for...!"

Xiao Xi suddenly bit her lip and didn't continue, apparently, it was something she didn't want to mention.

"It's a pity, you're just a woman, the Overlord Spear has been wasted in your hands."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Who."

Xiao Xi spun around, furious, already in a bad mood after losing, and now someone was poking her sore spot directly.

Not being a man was her lifelong pain.

This was why she was so determined, insisting on participating in this National Martial Arts Tournament to prove that women are not necessarily inferior to men.

Tie Xuan also frowned, looking at the robust man who appeared. It was the first time he'd seen someone with a physique even more robust than his own, and he could confirm that the person didn't appear in the first round of the competition.

"He's a contestant we didn't see in the last match."

Li Feng also looked up at the sturdy man walking towards them. The man's height was over two meters, matching even Tie Xuan's muscular build, and from him, Li Feng sensed a familiar aura.

Domineering aura leaked from him.

The man was from the Xiang Family.

Li Feng had previously gone to Huadong Town and met four of the Five Tigers of the Xiang Family. The only one he hadn't encountered was the eldest, the son of Xiang Qian, the clan leader.

Xiang Tian, the heir of the Xiang Family named after Overlord Xiang Tian.

"You're Xiang Tian of the Five Tigers of the Xiang Family."

Xiang Tian curled his lips and turned to look at Li Feng.

"That's right, I am Xiang Tian. Ten days ago, I wasn't at home, so I missed the chance to fight you."

"This time, I've come specifically for you."

"Li Feng!"

Xiang Tian's domineering aura erupted, the surrounding air seemed to instantly freeze, making it difficult for Tie Xuan to breathe. He glanced at Xiang Tian and then at Li Feng.

Do they know each other?

"I know you're the descendant of the Medical Saint, those minor injuries on you shouldn't be a problem, and according to the schedule afterwards, the matches won't be so closely arranged. I'll give you three days to recover."

"In three days, we will fight."

Xiang Tian announced forcefully, leaving no room for refusal.

After speaking, Xiang Tian didn't wait for Li Feng's reply and turned to walk to the other side. Only after he left did the air around them start to move again.

"Phew."

Tie Xuan took a deep breath and turned to Li Feng: "Li Feng, do you know him? This guy is really arrogant, actually arranging the matches as if the Martial Arts Tournament is his family's, not fearing exaggerating till his tongue gets cut off."

Xiao Xi gritted her teeth, clenching her fists, her tone icy-cold:

"The Xiang Family, could he be from that Xiang Family in Huadong?"

"Mm."

Xiao Xi's eyes turned a bit red, suddenly looking at Li Feng: "Li Feng, I don't care what grudge you have with this Xiang Tian, but if you can defeat him, I can agree unconditionally to one thing for you, even if you want me, I'll agree."

Uh!

As soon as Xiao Xi said this, Tie Xuan was stunned.

"Miss Xiao, what's gotten into you?"

Li Feng also looked at Xiao Xi. Her expression was obviously amiss, her pupils dilated, her emotions intense. Could it be that Xiao Xi had a grudge against the Xiang Family?

"Do you have a grudge against the Xiang Family?"

"Yes, a father's murder is an irreconcilable feud." Xiao Xi bit her lip so hard it bled.

"What's going on exactly?"

Tie Xuan asked.

Xiao Xi didn't hide it: "Over ten years ago, the Xiang Family coveted my Xiao Family's Overlord Spear Technique and sought my father to demand it. The Overlord Spear is a legacy of my Xiao Family, how could it be passed on outside."

"The Xiang Family, failing to obtain it, proposed a martial arts competition to learn my Xiao Family's Overlord Spear Technique. After that battle, my father suffered severe internal injuries."

"After returning home, my father was bedridden for over a year, but ultimately he couldn't make it and passed away, leaving me alone."

As Xiao Xi spoke, she gritted her teeth. He was her only family member, with whom she depended on each other, yet died due to the Xiang Family's greed. Although her father instructed her not to think about revenge on his deathbed, Xiao Xi couldn't forget.

She had two regrets in this life: one was her father's regret that she was not a son, unable to inherit the Xiao Family's Overlord Spear, leading to her disdain for men.

What's wrong with being a woman, why should we be inferior to men.

There's also the Xiang Family, she is bent on exacting revenge on the Xiang Family after the Martial Arts Tournament, to wash away the humiliation.

"Li Feng, I know my request is excessive, but as long as you can do it, my words just now absolutely count, I swear to the heavens."

Xiao Xi didn't express an unwillingness to seek revenge herself, but she didn't expect Xiang Family members to appear at the Martial Arts Tournament, and in her current condition, she can only ensure she can still move, but her hands are trembling from the shock, even clenching is all it takes to make her hands tremble.

With Xiang Tian actively seeking to challenge Li Feng, Xiao Xi spoke thusly.

As long as Xiang Family can be struck, trampled underfoot, to her it is revenge, she is willing to sacrifice anything for this.

Including her own body.

"I will give it my all."

"Alright, until you compete with him, I will take care of you," Xiao Xi said.

Li Feng rolled his eyes, you take care of me?

However, even if Xiao Xi hadn't offered any terms, Li Feng would still give it his all, the next match is a battle for the top eight, to enter the top ten, one must win.

As for what Xiang Tian said, Li Feng actually doesn't think he's boasting, though Xiang Family is not in the Martial Arts, its influence is still existent.

Moreover, the adjustments to the next round's match are already filled with such trickery.

"Cough, the next match is very likely me battling this Xiang Tian." At this point, Tie Xuan spoke up.

According to the order of advancement, Tie Xuan's next opponent happens to be Xiang Tian, who won without a fight in the previous match, though he didn't appear then, so nothing was revealed.

The opponent showing up at this time, isn't it right for him to appear?

It's just his turn to go on stage.
