The one-hour break passed in the blink of an eye.
The promoted Disciples meditated by the arena to recover, the atmosphere heavy. The brutality of the first round's chaotic battle made everyone realize that the Five Sect Martial Competition was no child's play.
The nine members of the Azure Cloud Sect gathered together, each bearing injuries, but their spirits were high. Being able to defeat the strong as the weak and having the entire team advance greatly boosted their morale.
Lin Wan said excitedly, "We're too amazing! We actually took down the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Liang Ling said softly, "Don't be arrogant; the second round will be even harder."
Fang Hao nodded. "The ranking matches are one-on-one duels; they rely on raw strength."
Bao Zhijian said with a cold face, "Some people shouldn't get ahead of themselves! The chaotic battle was just a matter of trickery; there are no easy gains in the ranking matches!"
This was clearly directed at Fang Hao.
