On the second day, Lin Tian and the rest of the people who had advanced earlier had all arrived at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.

Everyone knew that today's battle would definitely be a peak confrontation. Yesterday's event at the branch academy was known by almost everyone, and the commotion was known by almost everyone in the Azure Province. So, from today onwards, everyone came to watch, as they wanted to know what kind of surprise would occur today.

Hence, this time around, almost everyone from the entire Azure Continent came.

The principals of the Four Great Academies were all gathered together this time around. They were no longer seated in four seats. After all, this was the first time that the strength of the students they had recruited had been truly tested.

Furthermore, the competition today was different from before.

At this moment, when everyone was present, Elder Xiao spoke to the crowd below, "Today is the second day of the arena battle, and also the first competition for all of these students since they have gone through a branch academy. This old man thanks everyone here for their support, and is extremely grateful."

"Next, the second round of the arena battle, group matches!" Elder Xiao said to the crowd with a smile.

The rules of the group stage are very simple. Now that the four academies have succeeded in dividing the four academies, all the students in the four academies are divided into four groups. Each group will be composed of the strongest ten students of the four academies, and the forty students selected by the four academies will be mixed, divided into the new four groups.

With that, Elder Xiao turned to the crowd and asked, "Did you all understand?"

"Understood." Everyone answered in unison.

The rules were indeed very clear. The four great academies would elect the strongest ten students and then once again disrupt the process. They would split into four groups and engage in battle.

According to the result of the battle, the points would be calculated and the final ranking would be obtained.

As he spoke, the four chairmen of the four great academies had already given him the final choice.

In the previous knockout and challenge rounds, the four chairmen of the four great academies had more or less found out the strength of the students they had accepted.

Not long later, Elder Xiao had already gotten the name list in his hands.

"The East Branch has sent out Wang Tiangang, Li Yuanming …"

"West Branch …"

"Southern Courtyard …"

"The northern courtyard has Lin Tian, Du Feng, Gu Yan'er, Fang Xing …"

Every time Elder Xiao read out a person's name, that student would walk out from the group and stand at his own position.

There were a total of forty people, divided into four squads.

Hence, this time, they were split up by Elder Xiao, Gu Qing Yuan, Lei Yan and Old Zhang. Although no one knew how they would divide it, no matter what, the difference in strength was not divided into groups. This was because if one wanted to watch a battle, one had to be equally matched.

Before long, the final result of the division was out. All the students were quietly waiting for Elder Xiao's final result.

"Alright, next, I will announce the candidates for the first group."

"Lin Tian, Du Feng, Gu Yan'er, Fang Xing, Wang Tiangang, Gu Qingling, Zhang Taixu, Ji Qingyun, Su Tian, Chu Chen."

The second group.

The third group.

The fourth group.

The four groups had been thoroughly divided.

When they reached the first group, everyone's faces became extremely excited.

At this moment, the four chairmen of the four academies had stunned and complicated looks on their faces as they looked at the highest point of the martial arts practice field.

In the first group, Lin Tian was the first Level 6 student in the history of Qingzhou Academy, Gu Yan'er, Du Qingling, Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Ji Qingyun, Chu Chen, these seven were all Level 5 Hidden Dragon students. In the first group, Lin Tian was the first Level 6 student in the history of Qingzhou Academy, Gu Yan'er, Du Qingling, Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Ji Qingyun, Chu Chen, these seven were all Level 5 students.

Moreover, the potential that he had displayed was completely superior to that of a rank 5 student. The frightening aspects of his natural physique had yet to be revealed at all.

There was a level 6 student, eight level 5 students, and Su Tian.

This student called Su Tian was even more terrifying. Although he was a rank 4 student, the strength he displayed in the first round was not inferior to any rank 5 student.

In fact, it was even more terrifying.

However, no one knew the origin of this student called Su Tian. This student seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, but he rose up like a comet, and in the first round of the knockout competition, he faced off against the same level four seed. However, that seed was defeated by Su Tian without even being able to take a single blow.

It was such a terrifying existence, but now, when they were split into groups, they had all been placed in the first group.

Everyone had already guessed what Gu Qingyuan and the others were thinking.

Terrifying, too terrifying.

Everyone was muttering to themselves.

The four chairmen of the four great academies were also somewhat surprised. At the same time, they were unsure in their hearts. With so many geniuses, what kind of sparks would be created if they were to fight in a revolving battle …

Lin Tian was also surprised when he heard about this division, but he quickly regained his calm.

Geniuses. The students in this group were all top geniuses. The first group could be said to be the gathering of all the top geniuses that the Azure Province school recruited this year.

But because of this, Lin Tian was slightly excited in his heart. Only a collision between geniuses could truly create a strong spark.

Only by competing with geniuses would he be able to bring out his true potential.

Lin Tian was a typical strong opponent. This time, he should be able to fight to his heart's content.

The ten of them looked at each other. From everyone's eyes, one could tell that they were very competitive.

It was obvious that everyone was filled with anticipation towards this battle.

Only the strong could make them stronger.

Even Du Feng, Gu Yaner, and Fang Xing had strange glints in their eyes.

At this moment, everyone in the audience had already started to boil. They were all looking forward to the clash between the strong.

This year's arena battle was going to be the most powerful, most exciting, and most intense battle in all of history.
