At the bottom of the tomb deep in the Ice Valley Cemetery, Zhou Fan in the black coffin was currently using his spiritual consciousness to explore the lifeless Zhou Tong.
"Once the coffin spirit touches the physical body, it will completely merge with the flesh and blood."
"That is to say, even if you take away part of the coffin spirit's shadow, the other part has already merged with the little girl."
"She can't leave the black coffin yet. Once she leaves the coffin and goes outside the tomb, the coffin spirit fused with the little girl will wake up and gain self-awareness."
The hoarse and unpleasant voice of the withered old man in the black coffin sounded, obviously reminding Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan did think about taking his little sister Zhou Tong away directly.
But after sensing that she was almost lifeless, Zhou Fan did not dare to act rashly.
Zhou Daozhi was still carefully using forbidden air to sew up the wound to complete the transplant. Except for Zhou Fan, no one else could inherit this strange blood. As long as it was separated from the body, it would lose its immortality.
Therefore, even if Zhou Fan wanted to exchange blood for Zhou Tong, or even inject his own blood into her body, it would still be difficult to revive her dying body.
"The competition from the outside world may have already begun, so we can't waste any more time!"
Zhou Daozhi, who had completely completed the pupil transplantation and used forbidden air to suture the wound, gave Zhou Fan a quick reminder.
"Senior! Could you please help me protect my little sister Zhou Tong!"
"Thank you for your kindness! If you have any instructions from me, I will try my best to do it for you!"
Before leaving, Zhou Fan respectfully bowed to the haggard old man and entrusted him.
"Go! I will protect this little girl for you!"
The withered old man just replied lightly, then slowly closed his cloudy eyes.
Zhou Daozhi was extremely wary of the haggard old man, and upon seeing his promise, he immediately teleported Zhou Fan out of the black coffin and flew away.
The numerous animal figures glaring eagerly outside the black coffin seem to possess instinct and simple wisdom.
After they sensed that the golden light emanating from Zhou Fan's body posed a strong threat, they actually hid in the darkness and did not pounce on Zhou Fan and Zhou Daozhi who flew out of the tomb.
But the black army of black shadows doesn't care who you are. After Zhou Fan and the others left the tomb, they swarmed towards them like moths to a flame.
At the same time, the Ancestral Castle outside the Ice Valley was filled with people in the square.
There are nine competition platforms built in the field, and in the distance there are seats for the Zhou family to watch the battle.
In this selection of the future clan leader, the people with the highest voices are the three strongest men from the younger generation of the main lineage.
The three of them all have backgrounds, they are Zhou Long, the grandson of the first elder, Zhou Hu, the grandson of the second elder, and Zhou Yue, the daughter of the acting head of the family, Zhou Tao.
Apart from the three outsiders, the one with the highest voice is Zhou Lang. As for the dark horse Zhou Weifeng, outsiders don't know his cultivation and combat prowess.
"Quiet!"
"All quiet!"
In the noisy square, the Great Elder flew up to a high platform at some point and shouted loudly to the people in the square who were talking about it.
When the loud voice resounded through the square, the second elder and the acting head of the family, Zhou Tao, also flew up to the high platform.
The square gradually became audible, and everyone's eyes fell on the three people on the high platform.
"It is inevitable that the new clan leader will get injured in this competition. If you think you are no match for your opponent, you can admit defeat directly to avoid wasting the competition time."
The great elder's loud voice sounded again and began to announce some competition rules and precautions.
And after the great elder announced the rules, the acting patriarch Zhou Tao immediately added: "This time the final winner can get a mutated purple pupil!"
"How much is the perverted Tiantong worth? I don't think I need to say any more!"
Zhou Tao was obviously afraid that the first elder and the second elder would regret it, so he directly announced the final prize in front of everyone.
"What! Mutated Tianpu?"
"Purple pupil? I have never heard of it. The strongest celestial pupil is not the world-destroying golden pupil?"
"I'm really looking forward to the so-called mutated celestial pupil..."
There was a lot of discussion, some people were just curious, some people seemed to be thinking of the battle that year, and they all looked at the purple pupil with greedy eyes.
While there was a lot of discussion in the audience, the first elder and the second elder on the stage looked at each other and frowned.
The two of them didn't want to announce the final prize at first. After all, the power of the purple pupil is obvious to all, and it is absolutely comparable to the top celestial pupil. If the news leaks out, there is no guarantee that it will not be noticed by interested people.
However, the big-mouthed Zhou Tao announced it in public, so it was hard for the two of them to say anything else.
Both of them were suspicious of Zhou Tao regarding the four elders who died in the battle outside their ancestral land, but now that the new clan leader was about to be selected, they did not cause any trouble and pretended not to know.
Of course, the two of them are also making their own calculations to become the final peach picker.
"The competition begins now! Due to the large number of people who signed up, the first competition will be changed to a competition for the stage!"
"As long as you persist on the competition stage for ten minutes, you can successfully enter the preliminary round, and there is no limit to the number of people on the nine competition stages."
After the great elder announced the rules of the competition loudly, he flew up to the spectator seats and sat down in his seat.
The second elder who was making soy sauce looked at Zhou Hu in the audience with some deep thoughts, and then followed Zhou Tao to fly to the audience seat.
At this moment, figures swarmed and flew past the competition platform.
The nine competition platforms were all filled with people for a while, but everyone was on guard against each other and did not take action against each other.
Those in the audience who were slow to respond all cursed secretly at this moment.
Just as they stepped on the ground and flew towards the competition platform, countless attacks suddenly fell, blowing away all those who wanted to fly towards the competition platform.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
For a moment, there was a constant roar from the audience, as all the people flying past the competition platform were attacked.
At this time, three figures in the square flew up to the competition platform at the same time.
The three of them all chose different competition stages, and the moment they stepped onto the stage, they activated the sweep mode, blasting away all those on the stage who had not yet reacted.
"Bang bang bang!"
"ah......"
In just a dozen breaths, hundreds of people in the three competition arenas were all blown away.
Those who fell in the square only now saw clearly the three people on the stage.
The three of them are the top experts recognized by the younger generation, the deep and handsome Zhou Long, the burly Zhou Hu, and the coquettish-looking Zhou Yue.
The three of them occupied the three competition stages, and no one dared to compete for their heads.
There were originally nine competition platforms, but in an instant, only six were left.
Zhou Lang, who possesses the level of spiritual general, obviously also wants to make a fool of himself and pretend to be fat.
He chose a competition stage with a small number of people. When he flew onto the competition stage, he tried his best to sweep away all the strong ones.
However, he soon encountered obstacles. More than a dozen senior spiritual masters and several half-step spirit generals from the tribe resisted desperately, but they were able to block Zhou Lang's sweeping pace.
Zhou Weifeng didn't know when he led Zhou Yitong onto the competition platform. He casually slashed out a blade of light that instantly shattered Zhou Lang's beast palm with all his strength.
He just sat there carefree on the competition stage. Zhou Lang was so angry that he almost used his trump card to attack Zhou Weifeng and others.
But in the end he resisted the urge, snorted in annoyance and stopped attacking again.
"boom!"
"ah!"
At this time, a young man who wanted to pick up the leaks flew up to the competition platform, but was slapped down by the angry Zhou Lang.
There were always people in the audience who did not believe in evil. Several teenagers flew up to the competition stage separately, and instantly rushed towards Zhou Weifeng and others on the stage, obviously wanting to seek shelter.
But their actions completely angered Zhou Lang.
"You are looking for death!"
Zhou Lang roared angrily and turned into an afterimage in the blink of an eye and rushed towards several teenagers.
Soon, a large piece of flesh and blood was torn off a teenager's back, and several other people were also seriously injured by attacks and vomited blood and flew backwards.
One of the more unlucky ones had his neck torn open by an animal's claws. Blood spurted out and stained the square red, and he fell to the audience. After a few struggles, he stopped moving.
"Dead! Dead?"
One person died in a fight, which instantly attracted the attention of many people.
"The competition only lasts for one stick of incense, and everyone who does not get on the stage will be eliminated."
There was a stick of incense on the spectator stand, and most of it had burned out at this moment.
Those who were still hesitating in the square were flying onto the competition platform at this moment.
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The competition arena fell into chaos for a while, and the five competition arenas became the center of the melee.
Originally, the people on the stage worked together to attack those who wanted to take the stage, but there were too many people on the stage. After those people took action, everyone on the stage was in danger.
In line with the principle that it is better to eliminate others than to eliminate oneself, compared with those on the fighting stage, they almost use every opportunity to exploit every opportunity.
Many people who know each other and are close to each other huddle together to keep warm, specifically besieging those guys who are alone but not strong in cultivation.
The chaotic five altars eliminated many people, and there were almost no weak ones who could stand firm on the altars.
At this moment, a black-robed figure flew past the crowded altar No. 9.
The consensus of everyone on the stage is to attack those who want to get on the stage first.
Therefore, the overwhelming attacks enveloped the black-robed figure. Amidst the continuous roars, countless attacks only hit the afterimage of the black-robed figure.
When the man in black robe flew over the competition platform, he had already knocked away a dozen unlucky people.
As the black-robed man was covered with a layer of light, countless bombardments rained down on him again.
Amidst the roaring sound, a bone whip was whipped out and in an instant, most of the people on the fighting platform were vomited blood and sent flying backwards.
He monopolized most of the competition stage, but no one dared to attack him again.
The previous overwhelming attacks did not even shake the opponent's defensive shield. You can imagine how strong the man in black robe is.
The sudden appearance of the man in black robe instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
The first elder and the second elder who were in the spectator seats were all looking at Zhou Fan who suddenly appeared on stage nine with gloomy faces.
That kid should have died in the Ice Valley. How could he escape from the forbidden cemetery?
But if it was just a mere resemblance, the two of them decisively abandoned this unrealistic guess after making eye contact with Zhou Fan.
The two of them were sure that the person coming was Zhou Fan. He was so brave that he dared to appear in front of them.
Although there was a strong murderous intention in their hearts, the First Elder and the Second Elder did not want to cause any trouble to happen because of Zhou Fan.
The two of them had guessed the purpose of Zhou Fan's appearance this time, but they both scorned it in their hearts.
When Zhou Lang saw Zhou Fan appear, his eyes did not hide his murderous intent at all.
He became a one-armed hero because Zhou Fan's masterpiece made him not resentful.
Zhou Long, Zhou Hu and Zhou Yue on the other three competition platforms all saw Zhou Fan for the first time. The three of them looked at him and did not take him seriously.
Zhou Weifeng murmured to Zhou Yitong next to him, which immediately made the other person's cheeks blush and couldn't help but step on him. Zhou Weifeng gasped in pain and thought, shouldn't you step on Zhou Fan?
