Chapter 72: Second Stage


    Hearing the sounds of the bell and the image of the two cards disappearing like dust, the young man''s face was dark and ugly, he wanted the points on the cards, but as the time was up and the cards disappeared, and he couldn''t do anything about its subject matter.


    Negative emotions towards Liu Yang began to rise in his heart. All the things he always wanted, he always had, and these cards would be no exception. But as Liu Yang did not want to give it to him and, on top of that, made the cards unusable, he began to feel hatred towards Liu Yang.


    The young man knew that the entire country saw Liu Yang and Liu Xia defeat the rank 5 creature, If he also got one of the red cards, his morale and arrogance would increase, as his position would be among the best. But it was a shame everything was ruined because Liu Yang refused to sell him the two cards.


    The spectators around also felt a great loss when they saw this scene, a million points were wasted as if it were nothing. They could only sigh on that subject. Liu Yang wanted to give someone these points, but someone else wanted to buy it.


    And because of the time lost, the points were wasted because the time was up.


    "I congratte you all for reaching the end. Those who did not arrive on time were disqualified and sent back to the stadium "An elderly voice was heard, looking towards the voice it was possible to see an elderly man with white hair. He was Shi Wu, the supposed director of the Magic Association.


    "Young magicians, I am happy with your good performance during thepetition at the Five Elements Field, some good and some bad. Overall, you did well in thepetition.


    As the first part of thepetition is over, I will show you the score rank. I think the first two ces are not much of a surprise to everyone "Shi Wu was referring to Liu Yang and Liu Xia having managed to defeat the rank 5 creature and earn millions of points at once.


    Shi Wu waved and hand and arge table appeared. The table had only eight names, these eight participants will go to the second phase of thepetition.


    The first ce belongs to Liu Xia, she got more than five million points, the second ce belonged to Liu Yang, he got more than three million and five hundred thousand points. The third-ce belonged to Xie Xinyue with a million points, the fourth-ce belonged to someone named Long Jin, he had nine hundred and ny-nine thousand points.


    The other four contestants had points simr to Xie Xinyue and Long Jin, approximately one million. But the difference between second and third ce was like an abyss, the difference was very big.


    Most impressive was the fact that Liu Xia had a million and a half points more than Liu Yang, that amount was absurd.


    All the students in the ce wanted to know how the couple got this absurd amount of points, they knew that at least half of the points were from the red cards. So, everyone started to imagine the number of creatures that the couple had to defeat to get that insane amount of points.


    "The eight ced, go through that door, the second phase of thepetition will take ce at that location" Shi Wu waved his hand and a door was opened at the end of the hall.


    The eight started walking slowly towards the door under the envious and jealous looks of the otherpetitors. When the eight passed the door, it closed automatically.


    "I appreciate everyone''s efforts in thispetition, but it is a pity that not everyone can qualify for the next stage. I wish you good luck next year "Shi Wu spoke in a friendly manner before waving his hand, all the students in the hall were sent out of that ce, they went back to the stadium.


    Outside


    All participants were received with apuse and praise from the audience, the principals of the respective schools were already waiting at the venue to take their students to the break room.


    After everyone returned to their respective locations, they had only one question in mind: How did Liu Yang and Liu Xia defeat the rank 5 creature?


    The principals showed the video to the students, they were shocked to see Liu Yang''s true power, especially the participants of the Eastern School and Central School, the students who came into contact with Liu Yang when he saved Xiao Mei''s group. They finally realized that Liu Yang was hiding his cultivation.


    Another impressive thing was that the couple could use one of the most difficult and almost impossible techniques to do, Union Magic. The use of this technique showed that the couple already had a stage of trust beyond imagination.


    The male students finally understood that they could never get Liu Xia''s heart, the reason for this was because her heart belongedpletely to Liu Yang. They could only sigh in dismay at this.


    Even though the couple showed Union Magic, some arrogant young masters, who were the children of n leaders, they still coveted the beauty and power of Liu Xia, they began to im that only within their ns could she be more strong.


    The heads of these ns started to think about it, but they still needed to be cautious about it, especially after collecting information about Liu Yang''s parents, they realized that there was something wrong with that information.


    The great ns began tomunicate with each other, despite the rivalry between them, they still maintained contact. When they talked about the Liu couple''s information, they all came to the same conclusion: They were dangerous people and it would be necessary to be careful with them and with the couple''s two children.


    These young masters were irritated by the words of their parents, they did not understand the reason why their parents asked to be careful with Liu Yang and Liu Xia, both were from ordinary families and without any influence. Why did their parents ask them to be cautious of the little couple? The only thing they managed to think was that Liu Yang and Liu Xia had something special for these n chiefs to have that kind of attitude, but what is it?


    When Xiao Mei saw this scene, she started to wonder when she could do this kind of thing with Liu Yang if Liu Xia can do that, why couldn''t she? She was also Liu Yang''s woman andpletely trusted him.


    The only problem was that Xiao Mei didn''t know how much confidence Liu Yang had in her, she was afraid to find out that Union Magic could go wrong.


    Song Jia also thought that way, but she was less pessimistic in this matter, as she only knew Liu Yang for a few days and had already be his woman, she was not worried about the fact that the two could not make Union Magic, as they still there would be time for the two to build a rtionship first.


    The hall where the eight contestants were waiting was old but majestic. The ce appeared to be an old martial arts ring. In the middle of the hall was arge square stone arena with four pirs at each end of the square.


    This was the location of the second phase of thepetition.


    "Young magicians, wee to the second phase of thepetition. As everyone knows, thepetition is divided into three stages. The first stage is to collect points, the eight participants who get the most points will go to the second stage, which is a fightpetition. Thest phase will be decided between the two remaining participants.


    The champion school will be the one that manages to win two of the three phases. The East School was the winner of the first phase, with the highest number of points added among all participants.


    To win the second phase, it will be necessary to fight several fights, even over just one student. Each fight will be qualifying. Form a row, each student should stand side by side. A box with eight spheres will pass through each one of you.


    Number 1 will fight number 2, number 3 will fight number 4 and so on. "


    After Shi Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand and a dark box appeared in front of the first student, Liu Xia put her hand in the small hole above the box and took out a ball. After that, she showed the ball to Shi Wu.


    "Liu Xia, number 7. Next"


    "Liu Yang, number 3. Next"


    "Xie Xinyue, number 8. Next"


    Each student took his number to be the participant of the fights. Liu Yang and Liu Xia will only fight if they reach the final.


    "Young mages, you have five minutes to rest before the fights begin," Shi Wu told the students, he waved his hand and the dust from the arena was cleared.


    Liu Yang and Liu Xia held hands and sat on the chairs in the corner of the hall, both of them had their eyes closed and enjoying the moment, Liu Xia was lying on Liu Yang''s shoulders, while he used his fingers to pull the strands of hair out of her face. The scene was very calm and serene, it looked like it came out of a painting.
