The most unexpected draw for the first round of the competition was none other than Zong Zi Xiao and Li Bu Yu.

One was rumored to be the youngest son of Emperor Zong who possessed the greatest talent and was particularly favored by Emperor Zong, while the other was the first grandson of the head of the Wuliang Sect and the nephew of the Empress, who treats him like her own son, yet one of these two had to be eliminated in the first round of the competition. Given the in-laws relationship between the Zong Clan and the Wuliang Sect, no matter who loses, this is not a good scene to watch.

Once the news got out, many people were betting silently in private. Li Bu Yu has outstanding roots and has learned under the head of the Wuliang Sect, while Zong Zi Xiao formed a core at the age of nine and is a rare talent found once in a hundred years, and he is three years younger. It is hard to say who will win or lose between these two, and hard to say who has bad luck.

After seeing the roster, the scene was very awkward for a while. Li Bu Yu said a few polite words, "It is delightful to be evenly matched", and then hurriedly left.

Zong Zi Heng pulled Zong Zi Xiao to a deserted place, with the look of a headache on his face.

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't lose to him." Not only was Zong Zi Xiao not half worried, but he was also even a little excited.

"I'm worried about you losing, and I'm also worried about you winning." Zong Zi Heng rubbed his brow and said with a sigh.

"Why should you worry about me winning? I am definitely going to win against him." Zong Zi Heng hummed lightly, not hiding his good nature in the slightest, "And I've always wanted to defeat him myself. This draw has fulfilled my wish."

"He is the Empress's nephew."

Zong Zi Xiao said coldly, "So what? In the ring, it is based on an individual's ability. Could it be that the Empress can still blame me if I win against him?"

"Xiao Jiu, the Empress has always been very scornful of you and Consort Chu for getting in the way of father, and because of that will not treat me like..." Zong Zi Heng paused and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, big brother hopes that you will not overdo it. Never provoke Li Bu Yu, and also don't really hurt him."

Zong Zi Xiao reluctantly curled his lips, "Got it."

Zong Zi Heng patted his younger brother's shoulder, "Big brother will watch over you, and big brother also believes that you will win."

Only then did Zong Zi Xiao reveal a smile, "I will definitely not disgrace big brother."

"Let's go."

On the first day of the Jiaolong Assembly, it will be the first match between descendants and their chosen opponents through balloting, but all the matches on this day were not as appealing as the duel between Zong Zi Xiao and Li Bu Yu.

The two youngsters, with outstanding family backgrounds, qualifications and looks, stood solemnly on the competition ground. Their boyish faces full of a stern aura, their stern gazes clashing in the air, and the mere exchange of gazes already made the people around them feel a powerful spiritual pressure.

Zong Ruo Ning whispered, "Big brother, will Xiao Jiu win?"

"He will." Zong Zi Heng said with certainty.

"But Li Bu Yu is three years older than Xiao Jiu."

"There are many formidable opponents waiting for him behind him, so if he can't even beat Li Bu Yu, then stopping here is not unjust at all."

"Big brother, why does Li Bu Yu always like to hang out with you?" Zong Ruo Ning wondered, "Isn't he the Empress's nephew?"

Zong Zi Heng whispered, "Keep your voice down."
