The arena competition lasted until the fourth day. The five hundred people had been eliminated continuously, and only 31 people were left. Dr. An was eliminated in the last competition, and Jian Chen and Ming Dong were successfully shortlisted.
At the same time, Dugu Feng, Tian Mu Ling, and Huang Luan also successfully broke through.
Now, among the thirty-one people who have made it this far, it can be said that there is no weak one. Not only are they strong and rich in combat power, but all of them possess strong combat skills.
The three people with the light attribute holy power were also exposed early on, and have always attracted Jian Chen's attention. Unfortunately, although the three of them have experienced several battles, the opponents they faced were not too strong.
, causing the three of them to reveal only the tip of the iceberg in terms of their strength.
Apart from them, there was another contestant who received special attention from Jian Chen. That was a person named "Jue", who ranked fourth in the collection of participating arrows. She was a tall woman, wearing a black dress.
Tights, weapon is a dagger, wind attribute holy power, very fast.
Judging from her appearance alone, Jue is probably in her mid-twenties, but her actual age is unknown. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is naturally beautiful, quite pretty, and has a plump figure.
It is enough to be compared with Tianmuling. The only thing that is a bit unacceptable is that Jue's whole body exudes a cold aura. This is the coldness from the bones, the coldness from the soul, and a pair of eyes always exudes a sharp light.
, there is a deep murderous intention hidden deep in her eyes. All her opponents have never been able to survive. They are all killed by being pierced through the heart by Jue. Her dagger is only faster than Jian Chenruo.
At night, Jian Chen locked himself in the room alone to meditate on the Instant Shadow Thousand Fantasy. Tomorrow, the top sixteen will be decided. Then the top ten masters will be selected from these sixteen people, and finally the gradual competition will begin.
Ranking within the top ten.
There are so many powerful people in Tianyuan Continent, and there is no shortage of people with outstanding talents. Although Jian Chen only heard about the five masters in the space where he collected the competition arrows, there are definitely more than this number of masters participating in the mercenary event.
There is no shortage of people who keep a low profile and are only gradually exposed after the knockout rounds. Or maybe everyone who knows about their strength is dead and the news is simply impossible to spread.
Now, Jian Chen also found that he was a little bit pessimistic. Starting from tomorrow, every battle in the future will become more difficult. This mercenary event has reached this point, and the weak ones have all been eliminated. The remaining
The thirty-one people below are all elites among the elites, and some of them are even stronger than Dugu Feng.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating on the Thousand Instant Shadows and Phantom Bodies, slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and a strong wind came out, opening a wooden chain on the door, and said, "Come in!
"
The door opened, and four old men filed in from the outside. Two of them were wearing white robes, with white hair and childish faces, and a kind look on their faces. The third old man was wearing a black robe, with shawl black hair, and was blind in his left eye.
Only his right eye is open, and there is a hideous and terrifying scar on his face, which is obviously an injury he suffered in his early years. The last old man is wearing a red robe, is relatively short, and has dark skin on his face.
Jian Chen looked at the four old men, and his expression suddenly became serious. The four old men did not hide their auras. Based on the aura sensing, Jian Chen was surprised to find that these four old men were all Sky Saint Masters.
When Jian Chen was sizing up the four old men, the four old men were also sizing up Jian Chen. However, because Jian Chen used the method given to him by the head of the Tianqin family to conceal his own strength, even though the four old men had the strength of the Sky Saint Master,
But he still couldn't see through Jian Chen's reality.
"Four old gentlemen, do you know what's the matter with you?" Jian Chen looked at the four old men calmly and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Little brother, are you Jian Chen?" The person who spoke was an old man with gray hair and a childlike face, and his tone was very gentle.
"That's right." Jian Chen said.
"Little brother Jian Chen, I heard that Shi Xiangran, the third young master of the Shi family, died in your hands. I don't know if this is true." The old man with white hair and childish face continued, his tone still very calm.
Jian Chen remained calm and said, "I wonder who these old gentlemen are?"
The old man chuckled, stretched out his hand to wipe the long beard on his chin, and said: "Outsiders call the four of us the four brothers of the Cai family. We currently serve as the four guardians of the Shi family and work for the Shi family." After saying this, the old man said
The tone paused for a moment, and then continued: "Brother Jian Chen, we have investigated the matter clearly in the past few days. There is no malicious intention in coming here. We just hope that little brother can return the Baoshan Seal. The Shi Family will never allow the Baoshan Seal."
If you continue to keep something in the hands of outsiders, it will only cause trouble for you."
"Brother is right." The one-eyed dragon spoke, and he said expressionlessly: "The Baoshan Seal was handed down by the ancestors of the Shi family, and it was refined through special methods. Only the blood of the Shi family can exert the power of the Baoshan Seal. You can use it
It's just a broken piece of iron placed on your body, and it won't be able to exert its power at all."
Several old men did not threaten Jian Chen, but adopted a very gentle approach, hoping that Jian Chen would hand over the Treasure Mountain Seal voluntarily.
Jian Chen bowed his hands to the four of them and said, "I'm sorry, four old gentlemen, I don't want to return the Baoshan Seal to the Shi family just yet."
"Little brother, you have to think carefully. If you don't return the Baoshan Seal to the Shi family, the Shi family will definitely not let you go. Putting this thing on you is just a disaster." The same old man said seriously.
Said, it seemed that everything was for Jian Chen's sake.
Jian Chen shook his head decisively and said without thinking: "This will not trouble the four old gentlemen to worry about." Jian Chen knew very well that even if he handed over the Baoshan Seal, the Shi family would never let him go.
"Well, since little brother insists on doing this, there is nothing we can do, let's go!" The four old men did not say any harsh words such as threats, and left here quickly.
After walking out of the inn, the one-eyed old man sighed softly and said: "Brother, what do you think we should do about this matter now? This young man named Jian Chen simply refuses to hand over the Treasure Mountain Seal."
"Our responsibility is to protect the young master. The loss of the Baoshan seal has nothing to do with us. We should inform the Shi family about this matter and let the Shi family make a decision." An old man with white hair and a childlike face said in a calm tone.
"Not only did the Shi family's plan fail this time, but the third young master also died, and the king's soldiers he brought with him were also taken away. This time, he lost his wife and lost his troops. I'm afraid the entire Shi family will be shocked.
." The dark-skinned old man wearing a red robe laughed and said that the four of them did not belong to the Shi family.
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, let the Shi family have a headache. We are only helping the Shi family because of the transaction, but we are not working for them. Everyone should remember this and don't offend the Shi family.
There are some people we can’t afford to offend. This mercenary event brings together many big forces in Tianyuan Continent. Many people we can’t offend, especially those contestants who can persist until now. Although they are young, they have an uneasy feeling behind them.
Weak strength, and even some forces are so powerful that even the Shi family dare not offend him, especially the man named Qin Ji. I think he seems to be a prince of the Great Qin Kingdom, who is highly respected and has great influence.
The possible next emperor of the Qin Kingdom, these people are not something we can offend."
…
The next day, Jian Chen entered the competition venue early. After drawing lots, he was directly teleported into the arena through the space gate.
Not long after Jian Chen entered, his opponent also entered the ring through the space gate. However, when he saw the person clearly, Jian Chen was stunned because the opponent turned out to be Dugu Feng.
Dugu Feng was also stunned, with a wry smile on his face and said: "I didn't expect it would be you."
Jian Chen also felt quite helpless, shrugged and said: "It can only be said to be too coincidental."
Soon, the sound of the start of the game came through the barrier, but neither Jian Chen nor Dugu Feng had any intention of taking action.
"Jian Chen, I hope you can get first place." After saying this, Dugu Feng immediately admitted defeat.
In this battle, Jian Chen won without a fight.
After leaving the ring, Jian Chen continued to stay in the venue to watch the rest of the competition. After the competition, sixteen of the thirty-two people successfully advanced, three others died, two were seriously injured, and one of them was killed in just ten rounds.
Jue's dagger pierced his heart, and he died on the spot. Even if there was a powerful Saint Master of Light in the mercenary city, he could not save his life.
Ming Dong, like Jian Chen, also successfully advanced to the top sixteen, while Qin Ji and Tianmu Ling also successfully advanced to the top sixteen through the King's Soldiers. Their opponents were all seriously injured by the King's Soldiers. Although Huang Luan
There is the Sun Moon Bow, the King's Soldier, but the advantage of the Sun Moon Bow is almost completely lost in the arena, and she herself only has the strength of an Earth Saint Master, so she loses without any suspense, because her opponent is a person with light.
People with holy attributes are much stronger than her.
And Dugu Feng, who was not weak in strength, also met Jian Chen due to a coincidence of fate, and was forced to be eliminated. The other two people with the power of the Saint with the light attribute also successfully entered the top sixteen. The three of them
As expected, they are as powerful as the rumors say. All of them are very powerful, at least on the level of a fourth-level Earth Saint Master, and they also master a lot of combat skills.
The next top ten masters will be selected from these sixteen people. The competition rules are still that eight people will advance and eight people will be eliminated. The only difference is that the last two places will be re-elected from the eliminated eight people.
.
Since it was still early, the competition continued. After Jian Chen drew lots, he sat quietly on a stool and waited for the competition to begin. The other fifteen contestants stayed in the same place as Jian Chen, wrapped in a barrier.
Completely isolated from the outside world.
"Hey, Jian Chen, you must get the first place. You must not disappoint us all. We all have great expectations for you." Ming Dong put his hand on Jian Chen's shoulder and smiled.
said.
"Keke, little brother, there are so many strong people here now. Although you can defeat a few of us, they are also not weak in strength. Are you sure you can win the first place?" Tianmuling
Hearing the sound, she came to Jian Chen, and her charming eyes stared at Jian Chen. Her clear voice was as captivating as a magic sound, and immediately attracted the attention of the others.
Jian Chen looked forward, looking at the scene outside through the barrier, and said: "I can only say that I will do my best."
As soon as Jian Chen finished speaking, a strange and sinister voice came from behind him, "Hmph, do your best, boy, how old are you? You don't know how high-minded you are to want to win the first place? You really think that all of us are the same."
Is it trash?"
Hearing the sound, Jian Chen turned around and saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged man, about forty-five or six years old, wearing a white shirt with patterns on it. This man was not unfamiliar to Jian Chen.
He is one of the three people with the holy power of light attribute.
Next to the middle-aged man, a man of about the same age stared at Jian Chen and the others with disdain, and said casually: "Forget it, Karaja, don't act like a brat, I'm just bragging.
That’s all.”
The conversation between the two people made Jian Chen frown slightly, and his originally dull eyes suddenly became a little sharp. But Ming Dong was furious, glared at the two people who were talking, and shouted sternly: "You two better not
Let me see you in the ring."
Hearing this, the two people's faces suddenly became furious, and the man called Kagara immediately shouted loudly: "What a little brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. If this wasn't a mercenary city, I would have cut you into pieces."
"
"Boy, your name seems to be Mingdong, right? I would like to advise you, if you meet me in the ring, you'd better surrender immediately. Otherwise, I swear, you will never leave the ring alive."
The middle-aged man said in a sinister tone, his strong murderous intention undisguised. If they were not concerned about the occasion, they would have taken action long ago.
Ming Dong snorted coldly, with a strong killing intent in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "It depends on whether you have this ability."
Jian Chen's face was a little gloomy. He stared at the two people talking sharply and said in a low tone: "Karaga, Gaddafi, remember what you two said and see who lives and who dies in the end."
These two people were the two people who won first and third place in the competition. Jian Chen knew their names early on.
"Huh, two brats who don't know the heights of heaven and earth." Gaddafi sneered repeatedly, not taking Ming Dong and Jian Chen seriously at all.
"That's enough. You two are so shameless. You are so old and you still bully two juniors. I feel ashamed for you." A middle-aged man standing beside the two finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.
road.
Hearing this, Gaddafi and Karaja looked at each other and snorted at the same time. Gaddafi said expressionlessly: "Zar, this is a matter between the two of us, and you don't need to worry about it."
"Do you two think that bullying the juniors is a very honorable thing? You are really stupid. If this matter spreads, you will only become a shame to our warriors of light." Zar said with a cold face.
"That's enough!" Kagara stared at Zar with an embarrassed look, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zar, don't forget your position, which side are you from, and you actually speak for an outsider who has nothing to do with it.
"
Zhar snorted coldly and said: "Don't give me those crooked excuses. I'm not helping outsiders speak. I just can't stand you two. It's a disgrace to us warriors of light."
"You..." Gaddafi and Karaja were so angry that they were shaking, but they couldn't find anything to say.
At this moment, something changed outside the barrier. The barriers on the ten arenas suddenly disappeared. The next moment, all the arenas were slowly sinking towards the ground, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The earth merged into one, forming a flat surface without any unevenness.
This scene made Jian Chen open his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect that there was such a magical thing hidden in the mercenary city. However, before Jian Chen could understand how those arenas sank, suddenly, an even bigger one appeared.
The arena slowly rose up from the ground again. This arena was very large. Its area was several times larger than the arena used in the previous competition, and it was five hundred meters long and wide.
Just when the arena was rising, a transparent barrier enveloped the arena in all directions, and then, a space door leading to the arena appeared not far from Jian Chen.
